Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Aftermath of the Trump Government Shutdown

• Democrats’ “Painful” Strategy:

  • The panel ridicules Democratic leaders for orchestrating a 41-day government shutdown in an effort to obtain $1.5 trillion in funding for various projects, including healthcare for undocumented immigrants ([01:09]–[03:52]).

  • Rob and guests agree the strategy was ultimately fruitless and deeply unpopular, causing unnecessary suffering with little political gain for Democrats.

    “They pulled out a shovel and a bucket and they ate all that sand and got nothing for it.”
    — Rob Carson [01:18]

    “It was worse than pointless. It was cruel, it was capricious, it was dangerous, it was radical…”
    — Conservative Pundit [04:33]

• Democratic Disarray:

  • The group notes how Democrats themselves can't agree on the core motivations behind the shutdown, with members split over whether it was about subsidies, "standing up" to Trump, or simply manufacturing a new controversy ([04:10]–[04:31]).

    “They don’t even agree on why they did what they did.”
    — Political Analyst [04:29]

  • Rob suggests Democrats are constantly searching for the "next thing" to attack Trump with, referencing a parade of failed scandals (“Signal gate, Elon Musk as a Nazi, burning down Tesla dealerships...”) ([01:33]–[03:52]; [21:59]).

• Impact on Ordinary Americans:

  • Rob shares anecdotes from "flyover country" about rising food prices, unaffordable housing, and shuttered small-town businesses under the Biden administration, framing Trump’s policies as a return to prosperity ([06:46]–[08:35]).

    “When Walmart says a Thanksgiving meal costs 25% less under Trump than under Biden, I mean, to me, that’s better than…”
    — Conservative Commentator [06:46]

    “I saw small towns where the only store there is now is a Dollar General. … That’s what has happened to small town America.”
    — Rob Carson [07:10]

• Economy and Immigration:

  • Rob and others cite falling inflation and a boom in manufacturing investment under Trump, blaming the Biden administration for mismanagement and open border policies ([08:35]–[09:33]; [15:14]–[16:15]).

    “Toyota’s bringing $13 billion of manufacturing here. In the history of the world, China’s never done it, never done anywhere near.”
    — Conservative Commentator [09:04]

  • They also tie the shutdown to growing anger over “healthcare for illegals” and frame Democrats as uncaring about the struggles of average Americans ([09:33]–[10:44]).

2. Democrats in Civil War & Party Criticism

• Internal Blame and Fracturing:

  • Multiple voices—including a pivotal comment from Senator John Fetterman—highlight intra-party fighting among Democrats, especially over lost SNAP benefits for millions and flight/public safety impacts ([14:41]–[17:30]).

    “I think my party crossed a line… putting 42 million Americans with, with their SNAP benefits and making flying less safe and that kinds of chaos … that was a red line for me that I can’t cross as a Democrat.”
    — John Fetterman [16:58]

  • The hosts poke fun at liberal TV hosts like Sunny Hostin and criticize the leftward move spearheaded by figures like Bernie Sanders and socialist candidates in New York ([19:27]–[36:03]).

• Electoral Repercussions:

  • Rob dismisses recent Democrat wins as insignificant, comparing them to “a fart in a Cat 5 hurricane” ([36:00]–[36:34]). He insists that although Democrats tout election wins as anti-Trump, approval ratings remain low and their policy direction is failing.

    “They didn’t learn anything from their leftward lurch … now they’re lurching further left because Zoran Mandami … now she’s behind in the polls behind a Republican. Her approval rating plummeted.”
    — Rob Carson [36:03]

3. BBC Scandal and Media Bias

• Trump Lawsuit and BBC “Deception”:

  • Rob and guest Adam Gillette discuss Donald Trump’s threat to sue the BBC for editing his January 6th speech to remove calls for peaceful protest, comparing it to state-funded disinformation ([24:06]–[26:47]).

    “Meanwhile, the BBC, the renowned news outlet funded by the British taxpayer, caught red handed cutting something out of context to deceive the public… That’s how serious this is.”
    — Adam Gillette [26:06]

  • Rob notes the broader issue of media bias, linking it to similar problems with US outlets like NPR and worldwide liberal media he claims manufacture negative narratives about Trump ([27:18]–[28:37]).

    “If you watched the entire speech, you saw actual reality… patched together like Frankenstein’s monster, you saw a dramatically different version…”
    — Adam Gillette [28:37]

  • Adam emphasizes how ingrained the BBC is in British culture, contrasting it with declining American state media, and raises concerns about the institution’s integrity even after leadership changes ([29:40]–[30:17]).

    “When the two bad apples are the people running the show, what does that say about the institution as a whole?”
    — Adam Gillette [30:17]

4. Parody & Comic Relief

• The episode features a recurring dose of musical parody from Jim Gossett, lampooning the BBC scandal with satirical lyrics ([31:34]–[32:47]).

  “It was just a video. The BBC should know
  To doctor it would cause real trouble.”
  — Jim Gossett [31:34]

  “The BBC is shaken. They're rotten to the core. A billion bucks or more from them will be taken cost.”
  — Jim Gossett [32:36]

• Rob touts his brand of political parody as unique among conservative radio shows ([32:47]).

[Democratic Commentator]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most.

[Political Analyst]

Interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show.

[Conservative Commentator]

In America on air and on the world wide Web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Adam Gillette]

I can't believe it.

[Conservative Commentator]

They caved on the shutdown.

[Adam Gillette]

Democrats, you sold out the entire show.

[Political Analyst]

Shutdown.

[Conservative Commentator]

Not to get what you wanted.

[Political Analyst]

The shutdown may have been long and painful for millions of Americans, but at.

[Adam Gillette]

Least it achieved jack squat.

[Rob Carson]

And we are on day 41 of the Trump government shutdown.

[Conservative Pundit]

Democrats drew a line in the sand. They said, we are not going over this.

[Conservative Commentator]

And today, after 41 days, they pulled.

[Rob Carson]

Out a shovel and a bucket and they ate all that sand and got nothing for it.

[Conservative Commentator]

I don't understand how a Democratic senator.

[Rob Carson]

Goes, wow, we won really big.

[Conservative Commentator]

Let me cave now.

[Political Commentator]

And now they just caved and surrendered. I think Chuck Schumer, his days are over.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, so much for the Democrat Party being the party of the people and the party of the average man and all of that stuff. They wanted the suffering to continue through Thanksgiving until they got their $1.5 billion. A trillion trillion dollars. $1.5 trillion for healthcare, for illegals, among other things. And what I said yesterday, I think is, is true, and that is that the shutdown was nothing. It was about nothing, but it was just the next thing. So for the last nine months, the Democrat Party has been looking for the next thing to go after Donald Trump. They don't have the political indictments, they don't have Russiagate. They don't have two impeachments. They don't have 91 felony counts. They don't have any of that nonsense. They tried to. There was a tree stand near where Donald Trump was gonna take off, I guess near Mar a Lago. So somebody was ready to assassinate the president again. Hasn't happened, but they already tried it twice. So they're looking for the next. And it started with, oh, signal gate. Signal gate was a big thing. And then, you know, oh, my God. There was national secrets being traded on all of this. And then, and then there was Elon Musk as a Nazi and Doge is, you know, whatever the hell. And they burned down the Tesla dealerships. And then of course, there was the, you know, idiotic no Kings protests and no oligarchs protests and all of that. And then there was. Donald Trump is tearing down the White House. The sacred White House. Oh, my God. There's this part of the White House that's so sacred, it's so historic, we don't know what's in it, but it's definitely historic. And he's tearing it down and he's partying at Mar A Lago while they're tearing down history and his buddies are buying the new ballroom. What the hell? Anyway, and this was the next best thing. This was the next thing. This was the next thing. There was nothing to. Wasn't about anything. The Democrat Party had the opportunity to extend those, those Obamacare subsidies, and they didn't do it. And they didn't do it. They were made to sunset at the end of 2025. This just came up as an excuse to extort $1.5 trillion out of us because Donald Trump, in the big beautiful bill, cut $1.5 trillion worth of crap out of the government spending. And guess what? They failed.

[Political Analyst]

And as we speak, you have large majorities of the Democratic Party in the House and the Senate who are angry about stopping the shutdown. It's unclear what their end strategy was, how far it to go, 80 days, 120 days, I don't know.

[Rob Carson]

Until the next best thing. Until the next thing.

[Political Analyst]

We do know that Democratic recrimination.

[Rob Carson]

They're going to find something.

[Political Analyst]

Have now extended to the point where they're arguing each with each other over why they shut the government down in the first place. Was it really about those subsidies? Did they just want to show that they could stand up for Trump, but they needed an issue to hang that on?

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Political Analyst]

They don't even agree on why they did what they did.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you. What did I just say?

[Conservative Pundit]

It was worse than pointless. It was cruel, it was capricious, it was dangerous, it was radical, it was extreme. The Democrats.

[Rob Carson]

When you cause people to suffer so someone else will be blamed for it, that's about as evil as it gets.

[Conservative Pundit]

Shut down the government in a. I.

[Rob Carson]

Like what they did to the Jan.

[Conservative Pundit]

Sixers attempt to extort $1.5 trillion for their pet projects, including, as has long been documented in black and white, full funding for health care for illegal aliens. For several hundred billions of dollars. They resulted in, as a consequence of their shutdown, massive flight delays for the American people, huge impacts on public safety, federal workers going without pay, people who are living paycheck to paycheck, not being able to make ends meet. This was a Democrat sabotage of the Trump economy that has brought record prosperity to the American people. The Democrats, as President Trump has said, are acting as kamikaze pilots trying to hurt America and to hurt Americans solely because they cannot stand how successful this administration has been.

[Rob Carson]

And the administration's kicking butt, actually. Inflation is down and the manufacturing is coming back and price of eggs and everything are going down. Here's a president talking about that last night, and it's undeniable. You can feel it. You can feel it. You know, they had this election last Tuesday, and in four Democrat states elected Democrats, and they made up like they did Joy in the DNC convention. They made up some sort of anti Trump movement, just like the no Kings protest, bought and paid for. They just made it up to try to cover up the success. Because two weeks ago, three weeks ago, the Democrat Party was polling the lowest it has ever, ever, ever polled. People think the Democrat Party are worthless. The Democrat Party is falling apart. They're doing everything they can to duct tape the hull of their Titanic. It's not working. It's not working. And I told you the lies aren't going to be big enough to cover up the success.

[Conservative Commentator]

When Walmart says a Thanksgiving meal costs 25% less under Trump than under Biden, I mean, to me, that's better than.

[Political Analyst]

So Republicans need to spend more time talking about how great the country.

[Rob Carson]

I want to tell you, I lived in flyover country for the last decade, and I saw what the Biden administration did to the average working person. And I saw people having to work two or three jobs when the price of groceries went through the ceiling that first year, when inflation was 9%, when you used to be able to buy chicken breasts at Walmart for $1.88, and now you can only get them on sale for $2.89. That's a 50% increase in the, in the cost of that. And I saw the price on everything go through the ceiling. Everything go through the ceiling. Then I saw the price of homes go through the ceiling. Saw the house that I rented for $1,800 eight years ago is now $2,800. Then I saw the price of a mortgage tripling, the interest rate on a mortgage tripling, and I saw it all. And the Democrat Party for all of those four years of the Biden administration lied about it. They said that you're fooling yourself. I drove through, across this country. I've drilled down through Mississippi and Alabama and Arkansas and I saw small towns where the only store there is now is a Dollar General. People walking on the side of the road with their Dollar General bags into trailers and homes that looked like had been abandoned. That's what has happened to small town America. I saw it in my hometown, Neola, Iowa, Persia, BB Town, Minden. All of these towns just, they don't even bother putting up the American flag when Joe Biden was the president because none of the businesses are open. I witnessed it all. And for you to act like that didn't exist and act like Donald Trump somehow is the cause of it, you're out of your nut. Isn't less time complaining about the Democrats.

[Conservative Commentator]

We potentially the greatest economy in the history of our country.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Conservative Commentator]

We have again Biden did in just a short period of time. Biden couldn't raise anything. No investment. I think investment went no.

[Rob Carson]

No investment in America. No trillions of dollars. No visits to other countries with promises of trillions of dollars of investment in America out of our country.

[Conservative Commentator]

I'm now at almost $18 trillion in nine months. That's the.

[Rob Carson]

They're going to build Hemis here. Toyota's bringing $13 billion of manufacturing here.

[Conservative Commentator]

In the history of the world, China's never done it, never done anywhere near.

[Rob Carson]

That Drill, baby, drill.

[Conservative Commentator]

And all that money is coming in its investment. It's building auto plants, it's building AI plants. By the way, we're leading China by a lot on AI. We have potentially the greatest already. It is. But we have. When these things open up, there's never going to be a country like what we.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And then we're going into the 250th anniversary of America and isn't it kind of amazing that we've exposed all this rot and corruption and graft so we could baptize this deep state by fire so we could have another 250 years. The Democrats see there's a storm coming and they're doing everything they can and the shutdown was just another thing. It was just another thing. And they don't care how much people suffer. They don't care how many people die. They don't care how many people starve. They open the southern border to 20 million illegals. They stuff the Trojan horse with unvetted for disease and crime people to come into the United States, load them up with benefits. Dear God, are you kidding me? New York City, $500 a night, Roosevelt Hotel, a year and a half, illegals, SNAP benefits, SNAP cards, Visa cards, eight, $10,000 on them while New Yorkers lived on the damn streets. And all of that caused the, the cost of housing to go through the ceiling in places like New York City and elsewhere. Angus King is a senator. He was on TV yesterday and he said, you know, we, we took on Trump and we failed.

[Political Analyst]

You have to go back to what the strategy was at the beginning of the shutdown. There were two goals, both of which I support. One was standing up to Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

The other was, okay, what, what, why, why, what's, what's he doing wrong? Joe Biden took $25 million from the Chinese Communist Party. Joe Biden got us, got us, you know, 200 billion, $300 billion given to Ukraine for a pointless war.

[Political Analyst]

Getting some resolution on the ACA premium tax credit issue. The problem was the shutdown wasn't accomplishing either goals. And there was practically, well, there was zero likelihood that it was going to in terms of standing up to Donald Trump. The shutdown actually gave him more power. Exhibit A being what he's done with, with SNAP and SNAP benefits across the country. Oh, by the way, Joe, you're going to love this. Guess who's getting paid during the shutdown.

[Rob Carson]

Listen, this is fun.

[Political Analyst]

Not, not, not the park rangers or air traffic controllers, the ICE agents. Under special law, you got to get.

[Rob Carson]

All those illegals out that Joe Biden brought into the country and loaded them up with benefits so they'd vote Democrat. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, again, it was, it was, that's what the shutdown was. It was just another thing. And, and today when it goes through the House and then the government has opened up again, the Democrats will start mining for something other, something else. They can cause pain and suffering and try to get Donald Trump to be blamed for it. And we've got to be ready for it. But congratulations, Democrats. You got your asses handed to do you once again. And unfortunately, a lot of people suffered in the meantime. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Conservative Commentator]

The Rob Carson Show Podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details.

[Rob Carson]

Are actually now complaining and whining and fighting each other over the fact that they didn't inflict enough pain. This supposed party of the working class, that's what they tell each other all the time, is now out there saying, gee, we really should make people suffer more. 42 million Americans have not been able to get food assistance, needy people for the last month because the Democrats want to give health care to illegals. The Democrats are actually now complaining. Yeah, there you go. That's what it was. It was just the next thing, they were looking for something else. Looking for something. Oh, the CR is coming up. What do we got here? What can we cobble together? Ooh, I got an idea. Let's say that those Obamacare subsidies that we voted to sunset in 2025, let's demand that those continue, and we'll make it a part of a $1.5 trillion scheme to get healthcare for illegals and also refund PBS and npr. And PBS and all that crap. Yeah, that's an idea. Okay, we'll get them this time. I got it. But people are gonna suffer, you know. Oh, yeah. We don't even care. Well, you know that the air traffic controllers aren't gonna work. I know, I know. You know, but the great thing is, the great thing is let's keep it going through election day and see how it works. And then when blue state Democrat states elected Democrats, and by the way, there was a terrible gubernatorial candidate in the state of Virginia, then we'll use that as some sort of momentum to keep the suffering going. But you see, they realized that that was just a fart in the wind. Those elections on Tuesday were a fart in the wind because a week before that, the Democrat Party was polling worse than it's ever polled before because they haven't learned the lesson from getting their rear ends kicked in November. And they're lurching further left, making them even more unpopular. Yeah. So, you know, this is just the latest thing. Just the latest thing here is Donald Trump talking about negotiating with Democrats today.

[Conservative Commentator]

So the House is going to vote, and I think they're going to vote positively. I think most people want to see it open. Only people that hate our country want to see it not open.

[Rob Carson]

We do. Around Christmas. I don't know, maybe we can shoot down Santa's Slayer and blame it on Donald Trump. Open.

[Conservative Commentator]

Because our country is doing so well. So we don't want to waste these times. These are precious time. You know, we have 17 the drone trillion dollars plus being invested on our country. That's many times more than any country has ever had. We don't want to be wasting time. So they tried to basically renegotiate the great big beautiful deal.

[Rob Carson]

It was like. It was like the COVID of 2025. That's what this was. It was like the COVID of 2025. They were trying to C block Donald Trump's administration and his economy. Didn't.

[Conservative Commentator]

They weren't able to get it.

[Rob Carson]

They wanted to kill the fourth quarter.

[Conservative Commentator]

And now they said let's close up our country. We'll see if we can get it. But again, getting it for people that came. Came into our country illegally from prisons, from gangs, from, from mental institutions, actually right on that. You know, places that you don't want.

[Rob Carson]

And Democrats didn't even care when 300,000 children were trafficked across the southern border for sex and labor. They didn't say a damn thing. Do you see any of these fentanyl PSAs when Joe Biden was the president and all those hundreds of thousands of young Americans were murdered by China because of fentanyl that was coming across the southern border. No, you didn't hear it. So don't act like you give a crap about us now.

[Conservative Commentator]

Thinking of one and a half. Think of it. One and a half trillion dollars in medical costs and things just can't do this.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you try to bring the, the dregs of the world in the United States, have them be dependent on the. The government and of course credit the Democrat Party. Make sure to give them lots of ballots to vote illegally. But there's no illegal voting in this country. There's no voter fraud. Yeah, there is. Are you out of your friggin mind? Are you out of your friggin mind? Here is John Fetterman who I'm gaining a lot of respect for and I hope that there are enough Democrats that will join with him and become a part of the 80% of us who want to come together to save our country like we did before the election.

[Democratic Commentator]

I think my party crossed a line of now of putting 42American, excuse me, of 42 million Americans with, with their SNAP benefits and making flying less safe and that kinds of chaos and not paying our military. I mean that, that was a red line for me that I can't cross as a Democrat. And I think that's been described country over the party and now that I think that's been the truth throughout it and it's only wrong.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. He chooses country over party. Sunny host and who ought to be just talking about celebrity summer salad recipes on the View because I mean that's what that show should be doing. My God, who the freak listens to that show for their political opinions. She decided to go after John Fetterman. Didn't end so well.

[Political Commentator]

It was a horrific mistake. Governor Gavin Newsom Called it pathetic.

[Rob Carson]

She lives in a gated community. She could have given rats. But if you, if you lost your SNAP benefits and a surrender.

[Political Commentator]

Poll after poll found more Americans on both sides.

[Rob Carson]

She spends more weekly on her pedicures than you do for your mortgage payment.

[Political Commentator]

The aisle. Blaming Republicans even more, Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed the gop. As you mentioned, Democrats had big wins last week, so you had momentum. Why give in now? Why bring a butter knife to a gunfight?

[Rob Carson]

Are you willing to gamble you wouldn't know which way to point a gun.

[Political Commentator]

That the GOP will negotiate on health care in good faith once the government reopens?

[Rob Carson]

Because we're going to fix health care. You ruined it.

[Political Commentator]

That gamble is wrong. Half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent.

[Rob Carson]

I feel sorry for her husband.

[Political Commentator]

Their health care costs will skyrocket if you are wrong.

[Rob Carson]

I'm going to go mobile.

[Political Analyst]

Sorry.

[Democratic Commentator]

Well, first of all, you know, MTG is quite literally the last person in America that I'm going to take advice or to get their kinds of my leadership and values. And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that, then that's on them. And I don't need, and I don't need a lecture. I don't need a lecture from, from whether it's Bernie or the governor in California or because they are representing very deep blue, blue kinds of populations. And a lot of those things, a lot of those things were part of the extreme. And I'll remember what really needs to win, to win the big win is involving my state and other states and those things. And why have we arrived here after the election a year ago?

[Rob Carson]

There you go. John Fetterman. My goodness. Unbelievable. And then I got to tell you, this makes me kind of believe that the Democrat Party could be saved. But I don't think there are enough John Fetterman's out there to save it, to be quite honest. I would assume, maybe if you're a Democrat who has a modicum of common sense, and I doubt I'm talking to very many people, you might want to kind of look at this guy because you're driving off a friggin cliff, you are. And you just lost again. And it's going to keep going. It's going to keep going and you're going to fail into oblivion as the country comes a much better place to live. Adam Gillette, the president of Accuracy in Media, joins us next. Always a lot of fun. Don't go anywhere. Hey, guys, it's Carson. Not proud member of the 4:00am Club. You know what that is?

And as we speak, you have large majority of the Democratic Party in the House and the Senate who are angry about stopping the shutdown. It's unclear what their end strategy was, how far they wanted it to go, 80 days, 120 days, I don't know. But we do know that Democratic recriminations have now extended to the point where they're arguing with each other over why they shut the government down in the first place. Was it really about those subsidies? Did they just want to show that they could stand up for Trump?

[Rob Carson]

It was just the next thing. That's what it was. It was, it was the White House tearing down the White House historic last week. And then before that it was no kings and before that it was Elon Musk as a Nazi. And before that it was signal gate. It was just the next thing. They were looking for something to C block Donald Trump and the success he's happening. But the only thing that is is holding them back is there is their failure. That's what's holding him back. They thought they had some momentum with last week's election. That did not work. They still are unbelievably unpopular and the shutdown was just the next Gillette is the president of Accuracy and Media joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How are you doing today, Adam?

[Adam Gillette]

Hey, I'm great. Thank you so much for having me.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. So any thoughts on the shutdown and why the Democrats did it.

[Adam Gillette]

Well, for me, you know, the bad thing about government shutdowns is eventually they end. And honestly, you know, I think the Democrats were merely holding up for the elections to end. And once they proved to their base that they were big fighters standing up to Trump, they had no reason to keep fighting that fight. People had already gone to the polls and they could easily cave.

[Rob Carson]

I guess I'm kind of, I won't say surprised, but all the late night hosts, in unison, sunny hosted, among others, are expressing their outrage that the suffering didn't continue. I think it is ridiculous without any consideration whatsoever regarding the suffering that the shutdown was causing. They wanted the Democrat Party to get what they were demanding, which is $1.5 trillion that had been taken out the budget from the big beautiful bill. It is remarkable.

[Adam Gillette]

I think it speaks to how in politics you're going to have more success over time if you say one thing and stick to it, whether or not it's popular. I think that's why government keeps growing each and every year beyond the citizens ability to pay for it. You know, the Republicans often talk a great game in spending. They say we're going to cut spending, rein in spending. Doge is going to cut a trillion dollars of spending and then they promptly spend more anyway. At least the Democrats are consistent.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, and they're consistently failing actually is what they're doing. Couple of. There's a whole bunch of stuff on the plate today, obviously to get to Adam and including the, the Trump administration. Donald Trump is considering suing the BBC. Have a little audio here and then I want to hear your thoughts on this. That's not what I'm looking for. This is actually what I'm looking for. Adam, here it is.

[Conservative Commentator]

That's a pretty sad event. They actually changed my January 6th speech, which was a beautiful speech, which was a very calming speech and they made it sound radical and they actually changed it. What they did was rather incredible. They're showing me the results later on, the results of what they did, how they butchered it up. But it was very dishonest and the head man quit and a lot of the other people.

[Rob Carson]

We're actually going to play it right now.

[Conservative Commentator]

We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down.

[Rob Carson]

We'Re going.

[Conservative Commentator]

To walk down anyone you want. But I think right here we're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on are brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

[Political Analyst]

But tonight you are saying to our viewers that you will go forward and file a defamation lawsuit against the BBC.

[Conservative Commentator]

Well, I think I have an obligation to do it because you can't get people, you can't allow people to do that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well he's obviously had that happen a few times to him. What are your thoughts on the, I doubt the billion dollars is going to happen. He always, you know, fires off very large number. I think he did the same thing to cbs. But what are your thoughts about him going after the BBC? BBC's already had two of their major heads, Tim Davey and Deborah Turnass, step down. What are your thoughts?

[Adam Gillette]

Well, as somebody who runs an organization where we do hidden camera investigative journalism, every time we release a video the bad guys claim you got us out of context. You got us out of context. Which we never ever ever do. Meanwhile, the BBC, the renowned news outlet funded by the British taxpayer, caught red handed cutting something out of context to deceive the public. And you know it's one thing when MSNBC lies and smears their private company, their free speech knock themselves out. You can lie and smear all you want. This is essentially an agent of the British government lying and smearing the leader as their closest ally. That's how serious this is. That's how outrageous this is.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the, the average person in Great Britain pays 174 pounds per year if you have a television. So the country is invested in the BBC and the BBC that, that the parts of the speech apparently were 54 minutes apart that just amazing. And they're saying, well there were a lot of other things in this panorama documentary that were complimentary of Donald Trump. So it makes up for it.

[Adam Gillette]

Unbelievable. And in all of the clips that they included, what are the odds? They left out the part where Trump specifically said we're going to go protest peacefully and patriotically enough that one didn't make it into their clip to be fair, with consistency and you know, to hold American media accountable too. Our state media, NPR did pretty much the exact same thing. But at the very least the taxpayers no longer have to fund npr whereas the Brits are stuck funding a line smearing disinformation news outlet year after year after year.

[Rob Carson]

I went to a tremendous event with GB News. GB News is like the Newsmax of Great Britain. And they're taking. I mean, they're growing exponentially like Newsmax did and is continuing to do after the 2020 election, where everyone was told you couldn't tell the truth about the election, and everything was disinformation and misinformation. But this also happened. You know, Donald Trump delivered a speech on. On the 6th, and the broadcast networks and YouTube refused to put it up. He actually said, go home peacefully. I've got the video. But they also did that. So this was. This was a. This was not an uncommon thing. This happened worldwide in a media that is dominated by a liberal narrative.

[Adam Gillette]

Well, people wonder why we're so divided in America, and it's because we're basically seeing two different versions of reality. And as you said, if you watched the entire speech, you saw, you know, actual reality, whereas if you saw their heavily selectively edited clips patched together like Frankenstein's monster, you saw a dramatically different version of reality. Well, that's what makes it hard for people to come together and agree on things. Now, if you live in another country where you don't have Newsmax and you don't have these other outlets, you talk to any Brit, you talk to any European, of course they think Trump's a monster, because that's the only depiction they've gotten from nearly all of their outlets that lie to them year after year, day after day.

[Rob Carson]

Do you suppose that the cracks in the foundation of the BBC are happening? I mean, clearly they have media dominance. They're bought and paid for by taxpayers in Great Britain. Do you see the same thing happening to the BBC that has happened to abc, cba, cbs, NBC, the Letter networks here?

[Adam Gillette]

To a degree, sure. You know, the fragmented media landscape takes away more of their audience every day and every year and sends them to online resources. But the BBC was far more ingrained into British culture than NPR and PBS were in the States. It's not just a news source. It's not just radio. You know, it's every format of media. It's original television programming, it's narrative films and documentaries. So it's so built into the British culture that I think the majority of the Brits will say, well, that's a shame, but at least they got the two bad people responsible. Fire. Well, when the two bad apples are the people running the show, what does that say about the institution as a whole?

[Rob Carson]

Exactly. They should have stuck with Betty Hill and Doctor who. That's what I think. Adam I appreciate you being on the show today, man. Where can people find your glorious investigative work?

[Adam Gillette]

Sure. Our website is aim.org aim.org we're active on every social media platform and we're releasing new hidden camera investigative journalism literally all week this week.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. Thanks. I appreciate it. Adam. Thanks for your time today. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Conservative Commentator]

Right now, we're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down. We're going to walk down anyone you want. But I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

[Rob Carson]

Here's Jim Gossett on the BBC.

[Jim Gossett]

It was just a video. The BBC should know to doctor it would cause real trouble.

[Rob Carson]

That's what our media does.

[Jim Gossett]

A billion truck could win and then yet again he could win double.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, that'd be nice.

[Jim Gossett]

The BBC acted foolishly. What does that say about them when it comes to tv? Britain would be better off without them. Hey, it was just a video. The record will show will show. The BBC pulled a fast one. It would be a dream if their latest scheme became their last one. Donald Vader famed in a lawsuit they'll be named. The BBC is shaken. They're rotten to the core. A billion bucks or more from them will be taken cost.

[Conservative Commentator]

They.

[Jim Gossett]

Ain'T got no morals or ethics or scruples or contests.

[Rob Carson]

Pretty much that is a Jim gossip, of course. Jim Gassett Comedy just go to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy if you'd like to help him out. He does a couple songs for me every single day. That's just one of them. He did another one about, let's see, oh, Chuck Schumer. We'll do the Chuck Schumer song later on the show. And it's the only radio show, conservative radio show in America that uses comedy. And I also do a TV show. It's called Rob Carson's what in the World. It does comedy too. So there you go. So there you go. A lot of stuff going on. The Democrat Party thought they had some momentum and like I said, they used the shutdown it was just another thing. It was another way they could see block Donald Trump. They looked for an excuse. And I've listed the things they've already tried this year. Signal gate, Elon Musk is a Nazi. Then you move down to the no kings and the no oligarchs. And then you move into. He's destroying the White House. And then you move into the election. And they thought they had some momentum, and then that didn't work. And so they gave up the shutdown and they looked for an excuse with the shutdown to get $1.5 trillion that they wanted for illegal aliens back there. And they thought they would project this on Donald Trump. This is what the Democrat Party does. It's like antifa. They say, oh, you're the fascist. No, you're the fascist little bastards. Honestly, please, we're not the fascist. You behave fascistically. That's. You are the definition of fascist. So give me a break. But this is what the Democrat Party does. They project. And the projection isn't working anymore. It's not working anymore. People don't believe it anymore. And the Democrat had got the blame for this. Regardless of what Sonny Hoston says. Go back to just talking about delightful summer salad recipes and have people on from TV shows nobody watches. That's what the View should do. Honestly. Dear God. Linda Moynihan with the New York Post was on last night on. I think she was talking to Jesse Waters about the direction of the Democrat Party. And I said of the Tuesday election, they were a. How did I put it? I put it very eloquently. A fart in a Cat 5 hurricane. What I said, because they really did not change the direction. They didn't change the temper of the American people. Two weeks ago, half as many people considered the economy to be the primary issue as when Joe Biden was the president. Because Joe Biden's economy sucked and it was terrible. And a lot of people suffered. And the Democrat Party and the liberal media, the leftist media acted like it didn't exist. And you're over here going, hello, yeah, it's incredibly expensive. We can't afford a home anymore. We can't afford groceries anymore. Working two jobs. But then when Donald Trump comes to president all of a sudden, oh, yeah, the economy's terrible. Really? Why didn't you say D word for Richard when it was really terrible, when we were all suffering, when all the businesses in America were shut down, when inflation was out of control, when the price of a home doubled, when interest rates tripled, for God's sake. But they Tuesday, the Democrat Party thought that they had the wind at their back. These elections showed that the American people were rejecting, rejecting, rejecting Donald Trump. That's not true. Here is what Linda Moynihan said about the election of a communist in New York City. Quick to say, this is not representative.

[Political Commentator]

Of New York, the entire country.

[Rob Carson]

And as you know, there's a lot of crazy people who live here. The fact that he was able to win in New York City doesn't apply to anything else in this country. This is a city that elected Bill de Blasio not once, but twice. Yeah, yeah. So there you go. And Bernie Sanders, he's been in Congress for 40 years. He has not been able to light the fire of socialism in the country. His matches are dance, to put it mildly. And he is convinced that Zoran Mandami's little victory in New York City is going to sweep across the country and Democrats. And I love it, by the way. I love, love, love, love, love it. Because I was thanking God that the Democrat Party didn't learn anything from November. They didn't learn anything from their leftward lurch with Kamala Harris. And now they're lurching further left because Zoran Mandami, the guy who Kathy Hochul decided to endorse, and now she's behind in the polls behind a Republican. Her approval rating plummeted. But they're convinced this is direction of the Democrat Party, needs to go full blown into communism and socialism, which Bernie Sanders has not been able to do in 40 years. The capitulation of a few Senate Democrats is as backstabbing a betrayal as we will ever need. Oh, my God. An angry Democrat. You never hear that. To unite as a true Democratic Party. Oh, wait, no. Kings. Elon Musk is a Nazi and dismantle the leadership is a fascist and a Nazi.

[Conservative Commentator]

That put us in this position, Mom.

[Rob Carson]

Donnie has shown us the way. It is time to end. Please go that way. Please go that way. The era of the feckless Democrat. And I'm sorry to say that many people in the Democratic caucus are part of it. I would say we have eight or nine out of 47 people who I would consider to be progressives. The issue right now is doing primaries, getting people involved in the political process. So I think we need to take on the Democratic establishment all over this country. Yeah, go for it. Go for it. See what it does for you. Everything else has failed. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. The beginning. When, when Bobby was. Was running as a Democrat. They were. They were. They weren't mean.

[Adam Gillette]

No.

[Rob Carson]

And they never have been.

[Adam Gillette]

No.

[Rob Carson]

And. And I can't say that for the Democrats. I agree. And it's a.

[Adam Gillette]

It's sad because it's not the Democrats we grew up with. I. I'm not going to pretend I don't notice.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. How different they are.

[Democratic Commentator]

Yeah.

[Adam Gillette]

How mean they've become.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. There you go. But keep going leftward Democrats. It's. It's working. Well. Keep going. Yes. Hey. It's that time of year when Birch Gold gives away free gold with every qualifying purchase. That's right for Black Friday. When you convert an IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA and gold, Birch Gold will send you 20 free gold for every $20,000 purchase. I don't even know this, but gold has gone up $100 this week per ounce. Started off the year 2,600. It's $4,100 an ounce now. You better get on this gold train before it's unaffordable for you. Yeah. Global uncertainty is the reason Central banks are investing in gold and buying up gold, which means it's going to go up in value even more. It's gone up dramatically 60% this year. Gold thrives in times of uncertainty. And all you have to do to get involved and get that 401k into something that's actually performing is text my name, Rob, to 989-898 to claim your eligibility for free info on gold and your opportunity for free gold with the purchase by the end of May. November. Okay, so it goes until November 30th. Text my name, Rob, to 989898 for full details. There are a lot of gold companies out there and there are a lot of precious metal companies out there. Guys. There's only one Birch Gold and I have my money with them. I believe you trust me. I hope you trust me because I trust Birch Gold. Text my name, Rob, to 989-8984 Birch Gold and you could get some free gold by the end of month. How's that sound? Okay, so coming up, we're gonna get into this Berkeley protest. It's unacceptable. This is not America. It is going to be shut down. The DOJ is launching a full investigation to UC Berkeley. Harmeet Dillon is going to give some people a colonoscopy. That's all coming up in our number two of the Rob Carson show. Don't go anywhere.
