Hold it now.
Rob Carson
You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show
Jim Gossett
in America on air and on the world Wide web.
Rob Carson
This is the Rob Carson Show. Are you ready to be entertained, informed and thought provoked? I'm gonna thought provoke the hell out of you today. Yeah. Come on. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. It's already Thursday. Yay Thursday. Woohoo. Man. There's a big old event on remembering fallen police officers yesterday and the Capitol Hill and, and the the National Mall yesterday. It was beautiful. A candlelight vigil. Absolutely wonderful. And you know, kind of in the face of all the defund the police bullcrap from the left. It's kind of nice to see patriotism return to our nation's capital. Sunday, a big event bringing God back because you know, we get our rights from God. That's what made us such a great country. Acknowledging that our rights came from God. That's going to be happening. So a lot of cool things happening here in Washington D.C. where I make my home. I know it's kind of weird. I actually, I actually live here. But you know what, it's, it's actually, it's beautiful. It really is beautiful. It's the first time I've ever lived in any place beautiful. Now I know be you're thinking, well, I grew up in Iowa. Isn't Iowa beautiful? Iowa was beautiful. Iowa's beautiful. You know, it's just not like this beautiful. It's not, I don't know, the Potomac river and the Capitol and I'm not saying the capital is the most beautiful thing, but the new reflecting pool and the Lincoln Memorial and the tidal basin with all the cherry blossoms and all, it's really pretty out here, man. It's really pretty out here. So, you know, it's nice. It's nice that Donald Trump clean it up, too. It's fantastic. This just out from Politico. Democrats have a new strategy for going after Donald Trump. Trump blame him for everything.
Michael Charbone
What?
Rob Carson
Really? This is the new strategy. Oh, my God. Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. This is the new strategy that they've been doing for 10 years. Politico reporting the Democrats are pivoting to a new strategy of demonizing Trump and blaming him for everything. Oh, my God. It's fantastic. Two weeks after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promised to invoke maximum warfare anywhere, all the time, upside down and backwards in the rear. I don't even have. Anyway, they've been forced to shift drastically into a defensive posture thanks to a pair of court rulings that moved the House map toward the GOP because, you know, they're getting rid of the racial gerrymandering which Democrats have relied on to keep people in inner city neighborhoods, you know, dependent, angry and uneducated. Now, with little to no chances to redistrict ahead of the November GOP gains, possibly 10 favorable House seats or more, Democrats are stuck doing something they all know too well, blaming President Trump and hoping it will spur voters to turn out for them in the midterms. The party is arguing the Republicans aggressive moves to dismantle black and Hispanic majority districts in the south will outrage voters of color. No, it's not going to actually. It's an emancipation, actually. We'll get to that very shortly on the show. There's a wonderful woman on online that I've been following as of late and April Chapman, and she is just fantastic. Hope to get her on the show. She's got some thoughts about. I said that the Supreme Court decision last Monday was a Berlin Wall moment. She says it's emancipation. She could say that because she's a person of color. You know, I guess it'd be racist if I stated the obvious and said that said, given the highly unfavorable political environment confronting House Republicans, the extremists will not meaningfully benefit from their scandalous gerrymandering scheme. According to Hakeem Jeffries, dear colleague should be comrade. Quite the opposite. Democrat enthusiasm and resolve have grown more intense now. It's just bought and paid for by Neville Singham. No kings and all that crap since the 2020 all have. All they have done is stop their feet and obstruct. There's no new plan, new ideas or self reflection. No self reflection at all, by the way. No self reflection at all. And this was going to propel them to defeat, I think anyway, you know. But you know what, what do I know? I've just been right about everything for about six years now. So. Except for the merits thing, that was kind of a, you know, that was not what I expected. That said, let's move on. Let's talk about Donald Trump. Donald Trump's in China.
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
The military is obvious. It couldn't be better. Those children were amazing and they represent so much.
Rob Carson
And I really think this marriage thing is working out really well. I made some serious changes and, and I think that, I think that 2025 is going to be a great year.
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
I know they represent so much to you.
Rob Carson
You want a. What you. You want to what?
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
You and I have known each other now for a long time. In fact the longest relationship of our two countries that got beaten in the midterms President and President has had. And that's to me, an honor. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've gotten along. When there were difficulties, we worked it out. I would call you and you would call me and whenever we had a problem, people don't know. Whenever we had a problem, we worked it out very quickly and we're going to have a fantastic future together. Such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader.
Rob Carson
You see how they treated him when they got off the plane, as opposed to Joe Biden and Barack Obama. I mean, they had kids waving flags and everything and red carpet out there and everything.
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
It to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth. And I just want to say on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have, we have the greatest businessmen, the biggest and I guess the best in the world.
Rob Carson
We have kind of wanted to go over there and show President Xi who's in his pocket. You know, you got Elon Musk over here and, and all that, so maybe you shouldn't mess around with us so much.
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
Amazing people. And they're all with me. They, every single one of them.
Rob Carson
We asked, we can turn off the oil spigot too. So there's that top 30 in the world.
Donald Trump (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
Every single one of them said yes. And I didn't want the second or the third in the company. I wanted only the top. And they're here today to pay respects to you.
Rob Carson
This is it. This is about mutual respect. You think anybody respects Joe Biden bumbling and fumbling around not knowing which way it was up and all that Also bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party. 30 plus million 31. $35 million for the Chinese Communist Party into what, 27 LLC 9 Biden family members. $160 million for the Chinese Communist party into the University of Pennsylvania Penn Biden center and a Chinese spy balloon allowed to fly over the country. China bought and paid for Joe Biden. They bought, they were, he was, he was there, you know, B word. Donald Trump, not so much the b word. Here is fox doing a little translating for today.
Chinese Official (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
President Trump and I had in depth exchanges on China U. S Relations and international and regional dynamics. We both believe that the China U. S Relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. We must make it work and never mess it up. Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confront.
Rob Carson
This was about Donald Trump going over there and asserting some authority because China's been able to do all sorts of crap, steal our intellectual property, spy on us and all of this. And this is Donald Trump going over there, bringing the, the power and force of the United States as a strong nation, bringing the, the world's industry leaders in AI and space travel and, and everything to China to say, you know, here's the deal. You want to have a little mutual respect here because we ain't gonna be messed around anymore. We're not bought and paid for anymore. That's what this was about. This was about respect. This was about standing before the weigh in, before the MMA fight. That's what this is about. It wasn't talking smack. It was about respect.
Chinese Official (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
Our two countries should be partners rather than rivals. President Trump and I also agreed to build a constructive China G ain't gonna
Rob Carson
survive unless Donald Trump turns on the oil, etc.
Chinese Official (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
US relationship of strategic stability to promote the steady sound and sustainable development of China US Relations and bring more peace, prosperity and progress to the world.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I think this is Donald Trump saying, you know, we can, we can do this nice or you can f around and find out.
Chinese Official (Impersonation or Audio Clip)
There you go.
Rob Carson
This is brand new from Jim Gossett on the Rob Carson show.
Jim Gossett
Nothing would be finer than to get my way with China. Watch me do it.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Jim Gossett
Here's hoping that our sessions will result in big concessions. Nothing to it.
Rob Carson
Tariffs kind of work there you know,
Jim Gossett
Sheeping doesn't scare me. No, he can talk quite tough. If he tries to dare me, I will tell him.
Rob Carson
Enough red carpet.
Jim Gossett
I know he has his eye on taking over Taiwan. Can't let that happen.
Rob Carson
Not gonna happen.
Jim Gossett
The chairman has to know. Unlike Sleepy Joe, I won't be. I will tell the Chinese to stay out of Iran.
Rob Carson
Nice.
Jim Gossett
Shi Ping. I'm gonna face man to man. Nothing will be finer than to get my way with China.
Rob Carson
Dang, that is good. Jim Gossett, baby. Patreon.com Jim Gossip. That just. That was brilliant. That was just. He just sent that right before the show. Jim Gossett did that. And this is the only show that does that. And that's just brilliant. And he made a point, too. It's fantastic. This is why the red carpet. Be our guest. Be our. Or I should say gr. Guest. G. Our guest. That's what it is, man. Welcome, Mr. President. Welcome. We bow before you. That's what it is. It's not wandering off the Air Force One backwards, shaking hands at people who aren't there. And no band and no pomp and circumstance. This is about respect, people. It's nice to have somebody who's respected. All right, we got a lot of stuff on the show today. Come on. Bottom of the hour, Michael Chalbone, the host of the Charbon Report. Among other things. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. If you are on Medicare or about to be, you could be overpaying right now and never know it. Here's why. Millions of seniors are in a plan that doesn't fit their needs. Because Medicare is complicated. Many brokers just steer people into plans that pay them the most. That's absurd. That is so absurd, I decided to write a little slogan for it. Medicare sure ain't fair, and choosing a plan is a bear. Pick a plan with a broker if you dare, and you might end up with a scare. Okay, listen, it's a little rough. You need to know about Chapter. They're the only national advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. With Chapter, you'll see what a plan actually costs when you need it. Not just the $0 some plans advertise. Your doctors are covered and your prescriptions are too. You'll have confidence you have the coverage you need. A call with chapter is free. Takes about 20 minutes. If you're turning 65 or already on Medicare, call 27. Medicare again, that's 27 Medicare. Call 27 Medicare today.

Show Producer/Announcer
We've made the argument to the Chinese and I hope it's compelling and they'll have a chance to do something about it at the United nations later this week when there's a resolution just condemning Iran on what they're doing with the straits. Look, there's three things. The Chinese have ships stuck in the Persian Gulf because setting up a system that says we're going to let certain ships through but others not. It's easier said than done. And you saw a Chinese, not Chinese flag vessel, but it was a Chinese cargo got hit over the weekend. I'm sure Iran didn't do it deliberately, but they did it, it happened. And so that's why these Chinese ships are stuck in there. The second is I don't think that China, it's a huge source of instability. It threatens, tends to destabilize Asia more than any other part of the world because it's heavily reliant on the straits for energy. And the third reason is because China's economy is export driven, meaning their economy is fueled not by what they consume
Rob Carson
domestically because their people are too poor to buy stuff, but why by what
Show Producer/Announcer
they make and sell to other countries. Well, of all the countries of the world, economies are melting down because of this crisis in the streets. They're going to be buying less Chinese product and the Chinese exports are going to drop. So it's in their interest to resolve this. We hope to convince them to play a more active role in getting.
Rob Carson
How much do you suppose that, that China respected Joe Biden and the Biden administration and Barack Obama? Not one little bit. And let me use an analogy, okay. Say for instance, if you're, if you're dating who you don't respect more, somebody who puts out on the first date or somebody who makes you, you know, you know, doesn't, he doesn't cheapen themselves like that. I'm just, honestly, that's, that's kind of the way it is, right? Isn't it? Who are you going to respect more? So when he sleeps with you on the first date or somebody who, you know, who, you know, makes you work for it a little bit. That's not the best analogy. But, but Joe Biden immediately put out, let's put it that way, they're like, oh, you want to try to fly the spy balloon over. Okay, okay, okay. You want to send, you know, tens of thousands of military age men over the southern border all right, we'll give it to you. No big deal. Just put a little bit money on the dresser there, you know, $31 million, you know, to 27 LLCs and nine of my family members. And you can take advantage of the hell out of us. That's what it is. And here's Donald Trump saying, okay, well here's the deal. We just shut down the Panama Canal, no longer under your control, shut down the. Taking over the Straits of Hormuz, taking over Venezuela. So they're not getting the, you're not getting oil from them anym. You know, Cuba is, is falling apart, you know, and, and you've got a lot of people working out in Cuba and whatnot. And you had a lot of people working in China and whatnot. And, and Donald Trump's the boss now. So there you go. You're not, you're not getting, you're not getting some of this anymore like you used to. And then we're also, we're also taking a lot of their manufacturing back here. Apple starting to build phones here, we're starting to build chips here and everything. So, you know, China's got to play along, man. China's gotta play along. You know, it's gotta be Chris Murphy who is just awful. He puts the scum and scumbag or the bag and sc. I don't even know, but he's one of those things. But he's a scumbag and he says, are you ready for this? He's on with this. I don't know this what this little fop is on Ms. Now, Chris Murphy says that Iran is actually three to four, four times more powerful now than it has had its military eviscerated, its nuclear program eviscerated, its missile program eviscerated and its entire navy sunk. And he says that Iran is more powerful now.
Chris Murphy
Iran is two to three times more powerful today than they were when this war started. Everyone now two to three times really, really thinks that.
Rob Carson
Really? Because I mean that that's just the dumbest thing ever. I mean that's just like really, really stupid. It's like saying after Hitler commits suicide, oh yeah, the Third Reich is kicking butt.
Chris Murphy
Well, I mean, everyone has to come to Tehran today to beg for their ships to be let out of.
Rob Carson
That's not true at all. That's not one bit true. Chris Murphy, who by the way said that the Operation Epic Fury was a day one.
Chris Murphy
The Gulf, not small nations, big nations, right? The Chinese, the Indians, the Qataris have to show up to Iran.
Rob Carson
That's not true. It's not happening at all.
Chris Murphy
Plead their case as to why their ship should be led through and that's probably going to be how things work for the foreseeable future.
Rob Carson
And so not at all. We've got a complete blockade of Iran. We're getting ready to pull the trigger and blow the snot out of them.
Chris Murphy
So Iran was really a regional power. Why I say they are two or three times more powerful today, is that biological?
Rob Carson
Because you're high by putting them in a position because you're a complete bleep
Chris Murphy
hole where they could close the strait. We have now made them a global power. Now every country has to come to Iran.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God.
Michael Charbone
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Rob Carson
Oh, what a despicable human being. Chris Murphy is the most despicable person in Congress, I swear. Even worse than, even worse than Hakeemi. Oh, boy. It's tough though, with, with, with what's his name? The gargoyle with osteoporosis. Chuck Schumer. Yeah. Oh, it's, it's pretty darn close. It's pretty darn close.
Michael Charbone
Here.
Rob Carson
Here's something a little bit more positive. We've got a, an energy secretary named Chris Wright and he is putting the nail in the coffin of the lie of climate change. This is kind of cool. Listen to this. Talking to the Kano Institute, we had an issue.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
What is one of the biggest problems in energy? Right. We've created this cult of climate alarmism. It does two things. It scares kids. You go, I speak at universities and high schools. It's, it terrifies kids.
Rob Carson
And this is our energy secretary.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
It's chilled investment and it's given big government politicians license to do the stuff they wanted to do anyway. And justified in the name of.
Rob Carson
Remember, they tried to mandate the electric cars for all of us and we said, screw you, man, we don't want electric cars.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
Climate change change. And the Republicans have been terrible at pushing back and explaining why that's nonsense. You know, nobody is engaged very much in the facts and the data of climate change. It is a real slow moving phenomenon, but at the end of the day, it's sort of a no big deal thing. But it is.
Rob Carson
Because if it were real and you thought the sea levels were rising and everything, why are so many Democrats buying homes on the ocean? All right, and by the way, in 1995 they said that basically New York, all the eastern seaboard beaches would be underwater.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
What's been done in the name of climate change is wildly.
Rob Carson
Everything they said was wrong. They said that all the ice would be off Mount Kilimanjaro. They said that all of the ice would be off the polar ice cap. Everything was wrong because they lied.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
Productive and damaging. So one of my platforms, one of my goals is to this is what
Rob Carson
happens after the years and the promises and all of that. And then the years catch up with you and the promises that you made didn't come true. You know, it's kind of like realization that debate.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
We put out a paper summarizing some of the things you don't often read about climate change from the Department of Energy. Travis played a key role in that. We needed to move quickly. We needed to wrestle some scientists together and make stuff happen. He dropped what he was doing, jumped into service, worked his butt off and allowed us to get this thing going and made it happen. And then he could come right back out to productive employment and continue in this role. But thank you and hats off to your willingness.
Rob Carson
Isn't it nice after the decades of just fear mongering, telling kids that everybody's gonna die, the world's on fire, you had that idiot who came over in the sailboat, what is his name? Greta von Thunberg or whatever the hell, come over here and screech and all of that. And isn't it nice that after, after so many years of that, the deadlines that they promised were coming and the things that were going to happen, the deadlines arrived and they didn't. So their argument is over. Al Gore is back to saying now that there's global cooling, it's not going to work. The butt is off the rose. It was all nonsense. Another one of the, the, the, the foundation of the house of cards that the Democrat Party has been built on is going away. I just wanted to give you that this is good news. I didn't think that's great news. Coming up, we've got Michael Charbone from Canada, the host of the Charbonne Report. A whole bunch of stuff going on up there, including EVs from Canada being blocked from entering the United States because nobody wants them. Barack Obama being paid $400,000 to speak in Canada. Somebody's got too much money. And a couple of surprises that I have for Michael Jarmont coming up on this Thursday edition of the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. Hey, guys, it's Carson. You know my signature phrase, don't catch the stupid. When it comes to Medicare, that's easier said than done. Medicare is overly complex with thousands of plans, hidden gotchas in the fine Print and rules nobody really explains to you. Many people just pick something and hope for the best. That's why you need to know about Chapter. They're the only advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. When your call with Chapter is done, you know your doctors are covered, your prescriptions are matched, and you go from I hope I did this right to I know I did. That, my friends, is peace of mind. A call with Chapter is free for my audience and there's no pressure to sign up. Call Chapter today. Here's the number. 27 Medicare. That's 27 Medicare. 27 Medicare for Chapter. No pressure. What's your excuse? Call 27 Medicare. And don't catch the stupid yourself. Call 27 Medicare. Today. In New York City, Zoran Mandami is doing an estate tax of up to 50%.

You know, you know, almost as good as having Michael Sharbone on is being able to play that song as his introduction. And I don't think anybody in the country introduces Michael Charbone in such a fashion because Michael Charbone now is exclusively on this radio program at this time on Thursday every single week. How you doing, my friend?
Michael Charbone
You know, Rob, it's an honor to be with you and your nationally syndicated radio listeners as well as streaming live on Newsmax on the great Rob Carson Show. Rob, listen, I know that now that you're living in D.C. you're hobnobbing with all the big guys. People want to know. Your listeners want to know when you were on Stephen Colbert show. Did he ask to kiss you?
Rob Carson
No. And I would have never kissed him by the way, ever in a trillion years. I heard about that though.
Michael Charbone
Well, he's been told, CBS told him like his last show is on May 21, a couple of days. They told him he's got to clear out his office within the next two days. You gotta love, just love that CBS has for him.
Rob Carson
Did you know, did you see the, the, all of the late night hosts now who were on his show and, and I look at them and I compare them to like Carson and Par and Leno and Arsenio hall and they're just a laughable limp wristed fops. I mean honestly, what a, what a pathetic cabal. And, and what a, what a, just a, an awful demise for late night television with these, these fools.
Michael Charbone
I was raised on Johnny Carson and then David Letterman. Yeah, after those two. I'm sorry, none of those guys can get even. We have bad news about the Oscars. Bad news about the Oscars.
Rob Carson
Are they being canceled?
Michael Charbone
No, Conan o' Brien is hosting it again.
Rob Carson
Oh yeah. You know, o' Brien was and I'll tell you this, back in the day, Conan o' Brien is and, and always has been the funniest man on television other than me. I'm going to throw that in there. But does Donald think sense? Donald Trump thinks I'm the funniest guy on tv but I always thought that Conan was the best, the funniest guy on television. I still do. He's just, you know, decided to go into politics.
Michael Charbone
I just, I wanted to make an observation of President Trump's visit to China. Did you notice the difference of ob arriving in China? President Trump Obama took the, exited the plane via the help exit through the rear of the plane because they didn't pull up the stairs for him. Obama did the stairs down the back and basically said hey, how are you welcome.
Rob Carson
But you know what, here's the analogy that I use. You know, Joe Biden gave China whatever they wanted for $31 million in 27 LLCs and nine families members. And I said who you going to get more respect from? Somebody puts out on the first date or somebody you got to work for. And Donald Trump is that somebody got to work for. And Joe Biden was a cheap date. And so they did. They did not respect either neither Biden or Obama because they got anything they wanted out of Biden, Obama, they were easy to buy and sell. And Donald Trump, this is about respect, brother. This visit is about respect. There's no messing around Here, this is about Donald Trump having, having Xi's, you know, you know, his, his nuts and a vice, I'll put it that way.
Michael Charbone
Well, President Trump brought the A team. We're not talking about some schlepster coming along. He brought the power of the world on his plane.
Rob Carson
Oh yeah.
Michael Charbone
And I'm telling you, as soon as he comes back from China, I've been saying this for a couple of weeks. I mean, epic fury is going to become bian pain.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Michael Charbone
Means in Persian, Rob.
Rob Carson
I'm not sure the end. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, they're calling it Operation Sledgehammers. What's going to happen next?
Chris Murphy
Yeah.
Rob Carson
So there you go.
Michael Charbone
Hey, he's got to finish this off so that we start oil prices going down, gas going down, and start to march to the, to the primaries because we're cutting it a bit close now and watching msnbc, it. I can't believe how Americans still can take that type of information. I have multiple feeds here when I aggregate from my news hits and my stuff on newsmax. And I am embarrassed for you, America. I am embarrassed that something like MSNBC can continue to proliferate just like the politician you were talking about before. Rob, what is going on with your media down there?
Rob Carson
Well, Ms. Now has gone even further left. CNN has always been there. And you know, it's interesting. Ted Turner started spinning before he went in his grave. He just passed away last week. He was already spinning over over CNN's demise. Just. It's absolutely awful. I want to talk a little bit about something you'd mentioned. 50,000 Chinese EVs coming to Canada and America saying don't bring that crap down here.
Michael Charbone
Yeah. Our brilliant Prime Minister here in Canada decided that he was going to do a deal with China in importance. 49,000 electric vehicles. These vehicles are cheap, very inexpensive, undermined our current EV and our current automotive manufacturers. But the problem is even greater. And here it is with every ev, as you know, with every Tesla and many of the other models, Toyota, etc. They have cameras, they have intelligent response GPS, etc. Each one of these Chinese EVs has the ability to be contacted by and observed by China, which can shut down, basically drive the cars around and see what's going on. So America is saying they will not allow them in America. And they're checking VIN numbers, Rob?
Rob Carson
Absolutely, 100%. That's, that's. They can be controlled, they can be shut down, they can be turned on. All of that not nonsense. Now I'll tell you, they, that some of the technology they have is pretty amazing. They have a, an EV that literally you can drop the battery and then drive onto a platform and have another battery added. They've done some pretty amazing stuff. I, and, and most of it's been stolen. But you know, there's that. Hyundai, however, is going to invest a whole lot of money in, in autos in America. Hyundai's making some good cars, by the way.
Michael Charbone
Yeah. And I mean there's a perfect example. Everybody who sit in there waving that tariff flag again against Donald Trump. I mean, $26 million. Hyundai realizes that if you want to sell cars to the largest group of people who drive cars, lease cars, change cars and drive, it's America. And Hyundai is going to produce almost 80% of their vehicles in America. In the.
Rob Carson
How do you, Wait, hold on, hold on. How do you pronounce it? Hyundai? Is that how you pronounce it in Canada?
Michael Charbone
Yeah, Hyundai. How do you pronounce it in Hyundai?
Rob Carson
Man, you probably like the, you know, we always call them Jaguars, but now the Brit. That's a Jaguar. It's a Jaguar.
Energy Secretary (Possibly Travis)
Really?
Rob Carson
Now it's a Jaguar.
Michael Charbone
It's Jaguar. Jaguar. Oh, guys like dog and dog and hoagie. We don't do. We do subways up here.
Rob Carson
We do subways up there. Well, I got to tell you, we got more to cover on the other side of the break here, including Obama getting $400,000 to speak in Canada. I got some interesting audio from a guy named Jerry Rath who says that the Trump administration's working with Alberta with regard to secession. So I'm going to want your thoughts on that. And then also you told me about a guy in Canada who, who pulled a police car with his manhood. So we're.
Michael Charbone
He's not from Canada, but it was his manhood. I thought this was a good workout regime. We'll talk after the break.
Rob Carson
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to be doing that at Planet Fitness anytime soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

Jerry Rath
You know, we take what we're doing very seriously. And obviously the attitude of the United States towards Alberta independence, which incidentally is overwhelmingly enthusiastic, is something that informs our movement going forward. If the United States said, oh, God, we can't tolerate that flies in the face of, you know, the communist New World Order. We'll slap a 300% tariff on Alberta if they leave because we want you to remain resource slaves of the communist government in Ottawa. You know, it would be a totally different conversation, but that's not the case. We're gratified that it's the case. And quite frankly, the Trump administration shows Albertans far more respect than is shown to Albertans by the government in Ottawa. Do you think three of us could get a meeting with Tim Hodgson to talk about the need for a pipeline to the Pacific Northwest so that David Eby can't continue to hold us hostage? Of course not. Because they want us to be held hostage hostage. So, you know, so I understand that there are Canadians that are upset, especially in Ontario, that when Alberta leaves, that Ontarians for the first time in their lives are going to have to pay their own bills and pay the bills of the Maritimes that we've been paying for years. I understand that's upsetting to people, but they need to understand that Albertans are done. We're leaving.
Rob Carson
That is Jerry Ref. He's an attorney who's been apparently working with the Trump administration or at least, at least having an open dialogue about the possibility of Alberta. Alberta leaving Canada. And, you know, I'm going to use this kind of analogy because I most recently divorced. When she decides to leave, there's no turning back. Michael sharpone.
Michael Charbone
Yeah, well, I think the lawyer's smoking a little bit of beaver dung. 80% of Canadians realize that Alberta is an important part of our country first.
Rob Carson
Yeah, but you got to start treating it better.
Michael Charbone
Wait a second. 70% treat it right.
Rob Carson
If she's going to leave.
Michael Charbone
70% of Albertans don't want to Leave the country. Let's understand. Somebody read the book of the. The what is it the author of the deal or the premise of the deal that Donald Trump wrote? And the deal is this. You threaten, you're gonna lead, you stand up, you jump up and down, you scream a little bit, and everybody goes, oh, my goodness. Yes, they were done wrong because the Liberals under Trudeau screwed them with a carbon tax. But come on, they're not leaving Canada. Everybody take a pill, for God's sake.
Rob Carson
All right, well, I'll stop looking at. At Zillow for homes in Alberta then. You know, I would never live in that place. It's too damn cold up there, bro. I could never live in Canada.
Michael Charbone
That's why we're hearty. You've got to be hearty. That's why we have lots.
Rob Carson
What explains Justin Trudeau that then?
Michael Charbone
Well, he's an exception to the rule. We're not quite sure who his daddy was. Not that we. I mean, you know, Fidel Castro and, you know, don't forget what Margot Margaret Trudeau laid the Stones. I mean, is he still.
Rob Carson
Is he still dating Katy Perry, for God's sake? Does she. Does she not know he's gay? I mean, something. What.
Michael Charbone
He reeled that one in quite effectively. They were at some concert about three weeks ago in a court was the one who told us that we can't have straws and can't have plastic forks and put the whole restaurant and service industry in an upheaval here in Canada. And what's he doing sitting there eating with a straw, disposable fork. So, you know, do as I say, but not as I do.
Rob Carson
That's what liberal they're called. Let them eat cake. Liberals. But, you know, I mean, honestly, what. What woman in her right mind, other than Katy Perry would look at a guy who's a big fan of Katy Perry and think. Think, that's what I want right there.
Michael Charbone
Yeah. But when you're a rock star, you can have anything and everything you want. So sometimes you go, do you draw a little outside the line. He's way outside the line.
Rob Carson
If I went on a first date with somebody, we got in my Bronco and I turned on Katy Perry, they'd be like, okay, you let me out here.
Michael Charbone
Yeah, because you had to go and get your feet nail polish retouched for
Rob Carson
the day, by the way. And my. My Bronco would reject that music. He wouldn't even play that music. His name's Buck by way. The.
Michael Charbone
The way.
Rob Carson
If I tried to play Big Katy Perry, in my truck, it would, it would shut down the engine and everything. It'd be like, no, we're not going to play that. We're not going to turn some zeppelin on or give me something good here.
Michael Charbone
Speaking of kind of things still exist.
Rob Carson
Speaking of emasculated men, Barack Obama paid $400,000 for a speech in Canada. What's this all about?
Michael Charbone
He came here to talk about Canadian and U.S. relations and democracy. The guy who created Russia. Russia, Russia had one of the most subversive governments in the United States and he's coming to talk to us about democracy and they paid him 400,000 bucks. I tell you, that life is good.
Rob Carson
Yeah. It's not, it's not Canadian money, is it? Because then that's, that's like half as much as American.
Michael Charbone
Yeah, that's very nice of you to comment like that. Your bucket.
Rob Carson
Can we have an American dollar?
Michael Charbone
Is a dollar for you? I come to see you. I'm gonna bring my own coffee for God.
Rob Carson
Hey, hey. This is Barack Obama. Hey, I want $400,000. But it's got to be American money. I don't want that Canadian money. You know, I got, you got them quarters that look exactly like American quarters. But I want, I want some real money.
Michael Charbone
Yes, it's $400,000American. Like, did you know that all the NHL players are paid in American money? So are they baseball players, so are they.
Rob Carson
What's going on with, what's going on with the Stanley cup playoffs? I haven't even been paying attention. Attention.
Michael Charbone
Well, you know what? The last Canadian team, the Montreal Canadiens, are tied with the Buffalo Sabers. I got to tell you, Montreal Canadiens are the arch enemies of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I'm a Toronto Maple Leaf fan born and bred, so I'm having a bit of difficulty because I love our folks in Buffalo. Do you know that every single game in Buffalo that they play in hockey, regardless of who the teams are, they play the Canadian national anthem and those guys in Buffalo sing it. So I mean it would be a great place.
Rob Carson
I've seen a bunch of games here in D.C. and it's marvelous. The hockey games are just amazing here. I can imagine they are outstanding in Buffalo. I mean that in all sincerity. Finally want to talk about you said a guy named John Stevenson, 50 year old martial arts expert in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Up there in, in Canada, everybody.
Michael Charbone
What he did where England.
Rob Carson
In England. Okay, go ahead.
Michael Charbone
So he took a 2 ton French police car and he pulled it 131ft down a residential street, set Himself on fire. And guess how he was pulling it, Rob, Go ahead. He attached it to his male phallus, to his member. Hold it while he was on fire.
Rob Carson
Man, if somebody called 911 right about then, it could be devastating what his
Michael Charbone
girlfriend does for fun.
Rob Carson
You know, there are other ways to make it longer.
Michael Charbone
What?
Rob Carson
We'll end this. We will. We will end this conversation. I've never. I've never done anything like that. I've never tried to lift anything. You know, I use my arms and legs. I don't know if there's any amount of strength training that's going to make that stronger. What?
Michael Charbone
That would be the last thing I would want to pull anything. I mean, the whole point. I mean, I don't know.
Rob Carson
Yes. Yeah, exactly. All right, we gotta run. Michael, tell everybody where they can find all your great work, bro.
Michael Charbone
On that note, you can see me on Newsmax every Sunday on the John Glasgow Show. I'm also on Michael A. Charbot.com and I'm on everywhere else. Whatever. Carson show. I love you.
Rob Carson
Take care of you, bro. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. There's all sorts of stuff going on in the news today. There's some hearings on Capitol Hill with regard to Northern Virginia, where I live in Fairfax County. There's a guy named Steve Descano who is the county attorney, and he has let a bunch of murderers go. And consequently, 75% of the murders in this area are committed by illegal aliens. Illegal aliens. And there is a hearing going on at Capitol Hill and it turns out that 20% of Fairfax county residents could be deported.
Chris Murphy
The first step would be to give up on the mass deportation. Fan. About 1 in 5 Fairfax residents is someone who could be deported or who lives with them. It would destroy neighborhoods, rip Americans away from their spouses, parents, friends, families, customers, employees, employers.
Michael Charbone
Yeah.
Rob Carson
What would happen if you're in Mexico and you're illegal as an American and 10 years down the road they find out that you're illegally there? They would say, hasta la vista. Hasta la vista. Here's Jim Jordan talking about this Steve Descano guy. They are investigating here. Here.
Jim Jordan
Take the example. Take another example. Marvin Morales Ortiz had this long rap sheet, but on September 12, 2025, he's arrested for malicious assault and brandishing a gun. Mr. Descano says we're not going to prosecute this guy. Sheriff Kincaid says we're not going to honor the detainer.
Rob Carson
What happened.
Jim Jordan
And they Release him on December 16, 2025.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Jim Jordan
And what happens on December 17, 2025 5. You kill someone. That's the consequences of this dumb, stupid, crazy policy.
Rob Carson
By the way, that County Attorney Descano was under investigation by the feds and he should be. He should be. By the way, there are constraints on commodities. Prices go up. We've seen this with the price of gas and oil and the straits foreign moves, it's going to be coming down soon. Gold is another limited commodity. You can't print a print it off. And so consequently you're kind of at the market's whims. And it has gone up greatly over the last few years from 2600 to 5600. Right now writing in about $4600. People sold their gold in January. People are buying it now. You should too if you're thinking about investing in gold. Birch Gold giving first time gold buyers a rebate up to 10,000 bucks on qualifying purchases. So a real incentive to finally get going. While gold is holding steady and low and lower than it has been a while, this is the perfect time to do it. For details and a free information kit on gold diversifying into it, text Rob to the number 9898. You know know 989-898. You know it's easy. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA and physical IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and physical gold. There you go. Text my name Rob to 989-898. See if you qualify for a first time gold buyer rebate up to $10,000. Again, text Rob to 989898. Coming up, more on Fauci covering up Covid and creating the virus and Greg Gutfeld on the future of the Democrat party and why they have to lie. That's all coming up. Don't go anywhere.

Guest: Michael Charbone (The Charbone Report)
Theme: An irreverent, humorous deep-dive into current events—including Trump’s China visit, shifting US-China relations, US and Canadian politics, media bias, electric vehicle espionage, and the decline of late-night TV.
This episode presents Rob Carson's signature blend of satire, news analysis, and pointed political commentary. Carson examines Donald Trump's high-profile visit to China, contrasts Trump’s performance with Biden and Obama’s, skewers Democrats’ strategy, explores recent climate change revelations, and offers lively banter with regular guest Michael Charbone. The conversation veers into Canadian politics, the dangers of Chinese EVs, the sorry state of late-night TV, celebrity speaking fees, absurd news bits, and the ongoing debate over immigration and sanctuary policies.

Carson’s commentary:
“Isn’t it nice after decades of just fear mongering, telling kids that everybody’s gonna die…The deadlines arrived and they didn’t [happen].” — Rob Carson [20:39]
[24:42] onward
[33:31–35:42]
[41:07–42:57]
This episode delivers Rob Carson’s trademark mix of humor, political commentary, and culture war polemic. The contrast between Trump and his predecessors’ foreign policy styles and their implications for global respect runs through the episode, interwoven with critiques of climate alarmism, liberal media, and Canadian political blunders. With regular guest Michael Charbone, the energy stays high—ranging from EV espionage, late-night TV letdowns, and Canadian quirks, to current US hot-button issues like sanctuary policies and crime.
Overall, it’s a robust, punchy episode—part news, part comedy, and always over-the-top.
