Main Episode Topics & Key Discussion Points

1. Democratic Scandal: Graham Platner’s Collapse

• Backdrop: Scandal erupts around Senate candidate Graham Platner, accused of sexual assault, sporting a Nazi tattoo, and longstanding misogynistic behavior.

  • Parallels are drawn with previous Democratic scandals (Anthony Weiner, Eric Swalwell).
• Democrats' Sudden Turn: Party leaders “subvert the will of the people of Maine” by pushing Platner to drop out post-primary victory.
  • “I should [give] the big middle finger to the Democrat Party and take the party down with him.” (Rob Carson, 09:22)
  • “They propped you up… when it became inconvenient for them, they threw you out with the bath water.” (Co-host, 17:07)

3. Trump’s NATO Moves & International Pressure

• Trump’s Toughness on NATO:
  • Trump is praised for pressuring NATO allies to contribute more, with specific focus on Spain as a “terrible partner.”
    • “Spain is a wasted cause… I don’t want anything to do with Spain.” (Co-host, 24:51)
• Contrast with Previous Administrations:
  • Trump is positioned as rectifying the supposed foreign missteps of Barack Obama and other leaders.

4. Mitch McConnell Health Rumors

• Alex Jones Misinformation:
  • Rob Carson dismisses Jones’ rumor-mongering about McConnell’s death, highlighting conversation with Scott Jennings verifying McConnell is alive but questioning his fitness for office.
  • “He should be gone. He’s been in there far too long… It’s absurd for someone in his state to still be in office.” (Rob Carson, 28:02)

5. Cultural & Educational Commentary

• Student Loan Crackdown on ‘Worthless’ Degrees

[Caller/Guest]

Now,

[Rob Carson]

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.

[Co-host/Panelist 1]

You know, I just keep thinking to myself, if only there had been a sign that Graham Platner was capable of something like this. I mean, if only he had posted something to Reddit blaming women for being sexually assaulted. You know, if only he had gotten a Nazi tattoo, we might have been able to foresee this. If only another girlfriend had accused him of roughing her up. But it came out of nowhere. I mean, of course it didn't. There were signs everywhere. To me, I gotta say, Leland, like, I cannot believe the Nazi tattoo was not a deal breaker. And all of these people now who are demanding that he drop out. Exactly what you said, Leland. Because they know that he's going to lose to Susan Collins and that's all they care about. They're going to turn around and try to get the moral high ground back and act like we are the people who told Graham Platner to drop out over sexual assault. And we cannot let them forget that. No, they are the people who backed him when they knew that he had a Nazi tattoo.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that's Batya Unger Sargon, who has been a guest on this show a number of times. She even has her own theme song. Did you know that? She does. She has. You want to hear it? Hold on a second. This is funny. We. We came up with this Bacha Unger Sargon a couple years ago. We haven't played it in a while. And the reason why we did it is because I wanted to be able to just get her laughing. Here, here is. Hold on. Boccia. Oh, can I find it? Bacha intro. It's a. The. It's the theme to Batman. But we did Bacha. See if I can find it here real quick. Here it is. This is her theme song. Now this is a woman who is a world class pundit. The whole deal. And I remember the first time we played that for her and she just collapsed. It was. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. And I do these things because I like to reveal the human side of people to you. You know, you can go on and you can do a sound bite interview all you want and that's great. Sound bite interviews are nice. That's not what I'm shooting for. When I do interviews. I want to get to know people. I want to share things. Anyway, we had a lot of fun with Bacha Unger Star Gun. And yeah, it's. It's basically grand Platinum was going to lose. And the Democrats realize. They don't realize they've made a horrible mistake. They knew they had made a. They. They knew that they forsook decency. Anything good, anything human to push this guy through. And no matter what they found out about him, they would have ignored it. For instance, Debbie, why.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

That is.

[Rob Carson]

Hold on one second. Where the sound is. But Debbie Dingle ber. For instance, let me see where that cell phone was. Is that you, Brian?

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

I don't know.

[Rob Carson]

I think it might have been you. Anyway, Debbie Dingleberry who was. Was married to John Dingell, he died. Debbie Dingle buried husband. Dingle died. Whatever even she is now. Now Debbie Dingleberry is saying, you know what? I know that there's a credible allegations that he raped a woman after another woman came out and said, yeah, pretty much, you know, manhandled me, all this stuff and you know, whatever had a K but still Trump.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

So like many people, including the candidate that we just heard from, I'm trying to process it because I mean this ultimately isn't. This is up to the people of Maine and they.

[Rob Carson]

It's up to the people of Maine to vote for a rapist Nazi.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

Spoke loud and clear at the beginning of June that they want change. They want Someone who's going to stand up to Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

No, no. It was just a bunch of Democrats who wanted a socialist communist.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

And it's going to get change in a United States State Senate that is a rubber stamp. And not stepping up.

[Rob Carson]

You think the Senate is a rubber stamp? And why in the hell hasn't the Save America act passed for the American

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

people in votes that they're taking, 80%

[Rob Carson]

of the people want the. The Save act passed every single day.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

I've spent my life as you know, living in a home that had violence of fighting for women and men too,

[Rob Carson]

but which makes you more of a sellout than you could possibly have ever

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

made yourself for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. So I am never going to say that that is okay.

[Rob Carson]

But she's not going to not endorse him.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

The candidate is denying these charges. We've got to be careful. We don't know what all the facts are. But women find themselves afraid to come forward because it just gets complicated.

[Announcer]

Wow.

[Rob Carson]

I. That's nuts. That is a person who is unhinged from being able to do reasonable thought.

[Jim Gossett]

That.

[Rob Carson]

That is. I'm not screwing around. That is a woman who's so beyond reality that her synapses are firing involuntarily. There's no rhyme or reason to that. No rhyme or reason to that. Dana Lash was on, I believe Fox last night. I usually don't use a lot of Dana Lash. You know, she's all right. But she said what I said. I said that they would have pushed Biden's corpse across the finish line in 20 and Graham Platner could be Satan if Satan were running. And they thought that Satan could win a Senate seat no matter what Satan did. Unleashing hell, releasing demons from hell to destroy the world. As long as they got the Senate seat, it would be fine.

[Announcer]

They were all in on him until they started seeing some of the most recent polling. According to a New York Times Siena News poll that came out and was looking at voters in Maine and it showed that he is slipping significantly amongst working class voters. I mean right now it looks like Susan Collins is a plus 21 lead on. But more so when you look at white working class voters, then her lead increases to 23 by 23 points. So he's already.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that's really weird cuz I thought we were all a bunch of white supremacists. I pretty much thought we were a bunch of white supremacists. We should all be voting for Graham Platner.

[Announcer]

Starting to slip. It's competitive. It's absolutely a toss up win just a few weeks ago.

[Rob Carson]

No, we way ahead.

[Announcer]

It was not.

[Rob Carson]

She's way ahead.

[Announcer]

And I'll be very blunt about what you just said is entirely accurate. I'll be even franker about this. The only reason that Democrats, I mean Democrats would get behind a rapist that could win a race if they thought he could win a race, but they're now, they're going to conveniently say that now he's morally and ethically compromised because of all of these accusations because they don't believe that he can win. It's absolutely horrible. But this is par for the course for them. This is, I mean, consistent. We've seen it with Anthony Weiner, we've seen it with Eric Swalwell. I mean, I don't think that there's a red line that they're unwilling to cross.

[Rob Carson]

This is why you, you cannot. If you believe in karma, you cannot believe that bedding down with that with lies and violence and open border and transgender children. You cannot think unless you're willing to live in that hell, which is hell. That is hell. All of that stuff makes up what hell is made of you. You cannot think that's gonna win. And if you do, you're gonna be. You're gonna go down with it. Democrat socialism, anti Semitism, you're gonna, you're gonna burn with that. And there's no way you can, you can bed down with it and then win the seats and then go, okay, we're gonna move on. No, if you elect Satan, Satan's gonna do what Satan does, and you're the one who rot it on the rest of us. So it's not going to work. It's absolutely not going to work. And here's the great thing. Scott Jennings agrees. And I agree, too. I don't think Platinum should drop out 1000%. I should the big middle finger to the Democrat Party and take the party down with him.

[Scott Jennings]

Breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the people of Maine. Yeah, Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a prime. I'm amazed at just how breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary. 98% of what we know about Graham Platner.

[Rob Carson]

Leave it up to the people of Maine.

[Scott Jennings]

We already knew. The voters knew. The Democrats knew. The activists knew. The donors knew. Everybody knew. There's a reason why they voted for him. They voted for him. Anyway, your grand planner hasn't dropped out of this race.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

But if grand planner does drop out,

[Scott Jennings]

but you have all these Democrats and even some of the. Well, I guess we'll have to get somebody else. You had a vote.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Scott Jennings]

This is a democracy. The Democrats voted. And now the party of democracy is apparently going to subvert the will of the people.

[Rob Carson]

There you go, the harpies. The rest of the harpies and the feeding frenzy on the, on the cnn. You, you did it, man. You made your bed. Now lay in it, baby. Lay in it, baby. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Oh, this is great. Chris Hayes, he's a limp wristed soy boy. Fop on. On Ms. Now and Rachel Maddow now are saying, oh, we really were never behind Graham Platner, which you, you certainly never want to be in front of Graham Platner. But we were. They were never down with him.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

I'll just say that I didn't. He basically said no, but I didn't necessarily feel like that. No, you're full of 100% convincing. Again, this has been just like reading body language and making a personal judgment. It's not because I have inside knowledge, just the way that you react. You were down that, that no felt like a little wobbly. I'll just say it.

[Rob Carson]

Bull crap.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

I think other people who heard the no felt like it was a little wobbly too. And I think, you know, I think that's, that's obviously borne out.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, God.

[Producer/Technician]

Yeah. And I will tell you, just little. I. When you did that, let's call it a CYA interview, I listened to it live on Sirius XM as it was happening. And on that point, which you were very insistent with him on, I was like, that doesn't sound like a categorical clear no. And I went home and watched the tape version of you.

[Rob Carson]

It's absolute bull crap. You, you were down completely and now you're trying to cover your own rear end even though you still haven't apologized for Russia collusion, which was a hoax, by the way, which was an absolute, absolute hoax. So there you go. Oh, you know what I think I'm gonna do because I haven't played this since the beginning of the show. Brand new comedy from the Jim Gossett show, or Jim Gossett, I should say, on the Rob Carson Show.

[Co-host/Panelist 1]

Yeah.

[Jim Gossett]

Grampladner is in trouble now. Does not know what to do. Every day a gal appears with accusations. New. The Democrats are in denial. All they do is lie. His Nazi tattoo should have told them Graham was not their guy. Flat NER sweating. How he sweat that old tattoo.

[Rob Carson]

That old tattoo.

[Jim Gossett]

Should have done the bullet with that old tattoo. Misogynist and Nazi too. Should have pulled Blackber with his old tattoo.

[Rob Carson]

I came up with this idea. He wrote it.

[Jim Gossett]

Schumer stood behind Graham. Bernie Sanders too. Yeah. Democrats supporting Marxists. That is nothing new. Hey, but Platner is a hater. He is anti Jew. And his tattoo goes to prove he's Nazi through and through.

[Rob Carson]

Hey, here we go. You ready?

[Jim Gossett]

That old tattoo. That old tattoo. He got nominated with that old tattoo. Democrats are feeling blue. They're stuck with Blackeretta's old tattoo. He got nominated with tatt.

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

Poor little Democrats.

[Co-host/Panelist 1]

Are you guys okay today that I

[Co-host/Panelist 2]

came in to check on you?

[Co-host/Panelist 1]

Every time Trump does something good, you guys spazzed out.

[Rob Carson]

Would you guys shut up and let him work? Carl Higbee on Newsmax. He was just giddy last night with this, this Graham Platner stuff and now it's biting the Democrats in the rear ends. And the best people they could come up with, the Democratic Party, the best people that they could come up with, James Talarico, this guy in Michigan, El Said, who's anti Semite, radical Islamist, and of course, Graham platner, Talarico. In 2023, while criticizing a bill in the state legislature banning sexually oriented performances on public property and in the presence of minors, a measure that would have likely restricted some drag shows, he voted president president on the legislation at the urging of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus, after language explicitly referencing drag performers was stripped from an earlier version, arguing the revised bill would better be protected from their performances, he said. I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation, he said. And I didn't want any legisl legislation to target them. That's their candidate in Texas. These are the best men that the Democrat party could come up with. Meanwhile, here's a real man, a war hero, an American badass on Newsmax. Carl Higbee.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

I am loving this. This is like political cocaine. I am hoping this party eats itself alive.

[Jim Gossett]

Yes.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

You know what Grant Platner though? What The Dems completely did you dirty.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they did.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

They propped you up, they raised.

[Rob Carson]

I hear he likes to be done dirty you money.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

They presumably vetted you and probably knew about all this stuff they did and still thought you could win because you were some like cosplaying.

[Rob Carson]

You know why it was they knew about all this stuff because it was so easy to find out if you just put a little effort into it.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

Blue collar oyster farmer of which you're not. And then when it became inconvenient for them, they threw you out with the bath water in the last 48 hours.

[Rob Carson]

Should have been flushed out with the sewage.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

They have run this coordinated attack on you, Graham, so you should screw them back.

[Rob Carson]

Don't drop out, which you're good at apparently.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

Make them pay for ruining your life. This is me speaking because the only thing that changed was the polls.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

Most recent poll from. By the way, before yesterday's story came out. Has Graham Plat or had Graham Platner losing by five points, four points to Susan Collins and then, then when they saw that, and I'm making an educated guess on how this went Based on my 15 years in politics on here, Democrats were like, oh man, this is.

[Rob Carson]

We got to get rid of four points behind this four months out. Republicans are always behind, always behind it because they, they use the polls to demoralize us. But it's so overwhelming. Crappler. Crap. Crappler. I call them. Crappler. That's fantastic. Some people are calling Face Plantner. But, but, but the defeat was going to be so overwhelming and so obvious at this point that they, they've decided to throw him over more, even though they had no problem with anything bad he's ever done. Here is Rob Finnerty from Newsmax. He's brilliant. Talking about. This is, this is just, this is just classic writing. This is just great editorial writing by Rob Finnerty talking about his love affair with Liz Warren, the fake Indian who

[Co-host/Panelist 5]

dreamed of spending nights around the campfire with Graham Platner, having deep romantic TR conversations, sipping fire water, gazing at the stars. But it looks like that dream is just gonna have to wait.

[Rob Carson]

I said to myself, that's my kind of man. Wow. Could you imagine a woman who loves a guy who had a Nazi tattoo, kick profile, was abusive to women and, and now allegations of rape. Credible allegations of rape. That's your man kind of man. That's. I would assume that you're like one of those prison wives who gets to visit your husband once every six months.

[Co-host/Panelist 1]

Because that is a man who not

[Rob Carson]

only has the values. Oh my God. But a man who believes in accountability.

[Co-host/Panelist 5]

Oh yeah, Graham definitely believes in accountability, doesn't he, Lizzie? She put out a really odd statement.

[Rob Carson]

Your argument is thin, Lizzie.

[Co-host/Panelist 5]

It was almost like she didn't want to do it because she didn't want to do it. Just my opinion, but none of these Democrats do. It started with, quote, now more than ever, we need leaders in Washington who reflect our values. Really? Lives reflect our values.

[Co-host/Panelist 4]

What value?

[Co-host/Panelist 5]

You had no problem with the Nazi tattooing for the last four months. Now she went on to say that with quote, so much at stake, the best path forward for Graham Platner is to step aside as the Democrat nominee and address these serious alleg outside this Senate race. End quote. No mention of the victims, no mention of the legal ramifications here. A woman just came forward and accused Graham Platner of rape.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, by the. Chris Murphy has completely swiped every positive comment he had about Graham Platner off of social media. Every positive comment. What a bunch of frickin weasels. What a bunch of awful, wretched people. I swear to God, I love watching the Democrat party burn. They are burning.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Burning.

[Rob Carson]

We wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set up by the framers. What's your financial foundation? Is it built on gold? Is it built on a 401k? Is it built on stability? If it's not, you might want to consider maybe taking an unstable 401k, converting it into gold with birch gold. Like I did. I did it. If your savings are a little bit weak, you want to invest some money and put it away for a while and watch it grow. Gold is a great way to do it. I did it with a 401k that I had from selling cars and I'm going to sit and watch it grow. Learn how gold fits into your portfolio. Texting my name to Birchgold. It's just text my name Rob to the number 989-898. Rob to 989-898. You're going to receive a free no obligation kit. They got an A rating from the bbb. Countless five star reviews. And most importantly, they have my money. All right. I wouldn't say invest with them if I invested it in a bad company. Text Rob to 989-898. Text my name Rob to 989-898 to Birch Gold. Coming up, the government pulling student money, loan money from worthless college degree programs. And they're bringing back Ebonics in Southern California. Gen zers Stick around.

Plus now back to the Rob Carson show, presented by Paramount.

[Rob Carson]

It is a Rob Carson Show. Donald Trump says NATO members, NATO members, you know, kind of dewarted us over with regard to Iran and now they're realizing, oops, this ain't Barack Obama we're dealing with here. And even Mark Carney of Canada said, wow, Trump really kind of kicked our butts when it came to NATO and contributing part of our GDP to defense. Because Trump is near to mess around. Spain has been completely little, little soy boys about all of this nonsense. And Donald Trump said, and I heard this this morning or last night, he was sitting next to Mark Ruta of NATO and says that we're just going to go ahead and end all trade with Spain.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore. By the way, I'd like you to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO know. They don't participate, they don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, man, make it so.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Okay. We don't want anything to do. Watch them. Watch them come running back. Oh, yeah, they'll come running back. They treat this man terribly Ruta. And this man's a good man, too. Great man.

[Rob Carson]

Ruta kicks butt.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

They're lucky they have him. But Spain doesn't agree to anyone anything. And you shouldn't carry them. I mean, you sort of automatically carry because you're protecting an area. So they're there.

[Rob Carson]

So they probably figured they got a little, little socialist in charge of Spain. And I hope that he gets his rear end kicked. Gets his rear end kicked. Big time. Big time, Big time. Oh, oh, oh, oh. This guy, Scott Jennings and I, you know, yesterday I was seeing Alex Jones, who's a nut bag. I mean, sorry, you know, everybody tells me I don't mess with Alex Jones and his listeners because they're crazy. I don't give a flying crap about Alex Jones. He's a freaking nut bag. He's an insane human being and his voice is annoying. It's like somebody drank gasoline and battery acid then set it on fire. Just an annoying human being. Oh, you're offending his fans. I don't care about his fans. I get there. I get their emails every once in a while and it's always just like lunatic fringe nonsense. Don't send me your notes. Don't send me, you know who you subscribe. I don't care if you listen to Alex Jones. You're an irritating person. That said Alex Jones yesterday was broadcasting all day on, on the Twitter. And it was, it was, Mitch McConnell is dead. Mitch McConnell is dead. Now, I don't know if Mitch McConnell is dead. I don't know if he's alive, but I would choose to believe Scott Jennings more than I would choose to believe Alex freaking Jones, who believes that space aliens screwed Bigfoot and made babies. I have no idea. He believes that frogs turn gay. Whatever, he's a nutbag. But here is Scott Jennings saying he spoke with Mitch McConnell on the phone.

[Scott Jennings]

Yeah, he called me this morning before I did my radio show. We talked for about 17 minutes. He talked a lot about the situation with Iran. Talk a little bit about Ukraine and what's going on in Europe. I told him I'd been to the Teddy Roosevelt Library. We talked a little bit about the history of the vice presidency and how Roosevelt had transformed that in the modern presidency. A little history of the Senate. I mean, it was a, you know, it was a wide ranging conversation. I talked to him often. I hadn't talked to him since he'd been in. I'd gotten a few text messages from him, but I hadn't spoken to him. So it was good to hear his voice. Voice sounded strong and sounded like he was keeping up with the news, you know, we had a conversation today about the things that we normally talk about, which are news of the day, political stuff.

[Rob Carson]

Did you come away feeling like he's still capable of serving the people of Kentucky as senator?

[Scott Jennings]

I came away feeling that he was staying on top of the news again. I look his, his condition and why he's in the hospital or when he might come out or. So this was, it was a personal, private call, but, but I didn't.

[Rob Carson]

All I, I like Scott Jennings, by the way. I enjoy him. Love to, love to hang out, meet him sometime, and I will eventually. But I don't care about your friendship with Scott. With, with him. I will believe you if you say he's alive. That's all I really care about. And with that care comes. Why is he still a bloody senator? He should be gone. He's been in there far too long. He is infirmed. He is unable to do the job that is needed from him. He had a cardiac arrest in his home. He's been falling and I really don't want to see him die in office like we did Diane Feinstein. It's absurd. It's absurd for someone in his state to still be in office. So now that we know, I guess he's alive, if he is alive, friggin retire because you shouldn't be there anymore. There you go. There you go. That's my thoughts about it. So whatever you think, whatever you think. Oh, this is fantastic. So, so I've been doing broadcasting for a number of years and I used to write for a guy named Rush Limbaugh. Talent on loan from God and you know, started years and years ago. And when you're on the planet a long time, you get to learn from history. And, and I learned from history. A lot of the things that I remember from history was because of where, where I was and, and if I was making fun of it, writing for Rush Limbaugh, one of the things that came up decades ago was a thing called Ebonics. This was back in the 90s, like 94, 93, 94. And schools wanted to teach Ebonics, which is how black people talk, right? And everybody. And at the beginning they denied black people talk different than white people, which is absurd because I don't know. Just watch BET sometime. Okay, you know, we get it. Just listen to Jasmine Crockett change from the white accent to the black accent or Barack Obama changed from the white accent to the black accent. Or, or, or you know, Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton, any of those. But you know, black people talk different than, than white people. Whatever. Not all black people town, you know, sound kind of ghetto. All right, you know, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of black people talk like just, you know, whatever, average Americans, right, whatever. It doesn't, doesn't matter to me. But, but apparently they want to be. They're calling what, what happened back then Ebonics. They called it Ebonics. And, and they want to bring it back now they're calling it Black English. They're calling it Black English. And I think really to set up this, this story, I need this. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Announcer]

People, people, people just plain stupid.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Stupid is stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Does Ms. Blue, who got stupid? So the black Californians for United for Early Care and Education. Black east, not Black Ice was completely different. Part of a movement to challenge harmful language hierarchies that affirm black English as a legitimate rule governed language rooted in black history, culture and community. All right, let's do redneck language. Let's do Cajun language. Come on, while we're doing this, let's do redneck language. All right. We didn't do redneck language. That's part of the, that's part of the experience in America. And it's not all, by the way. It's not all white by the way. The movement also seeks to address how language bias shows up in early learning spaces and how it can be dismantled. Now you gotta be able to talk so people can understand you. Okay? I don't want my son to walk in any room and feel like his voice was not valued for his perspective or his perspective can't be heard because he's not saying it one way or the other. No, you got to be able to be understood and sound intelligent, you moron. Black English is full of slangs and grammatical errors, so it came with a lot of embarrassment. Black east is a nonprofit organization centered around a ten point policy plan that seeks to gain reparations and help black children. Of course they do. Of course they do. We talk about multi language, multilinguals, but we don't include black children who may be African American English speakers. Okay, this is all bull crap. Here's some of the expressions. Are you ready for this? Listen. This, listen. This is from a New York park. Starting here. Here's what you need to learn. Here's a this. I'm going to be. I'm going to speak in black English. I, I guess it's culturally appropriating. I'm really not sure. It'd be like if I rapped or something, whatever. Anyway, quote, he be working late on Tuesday. I'm fina go get some food. This almost sounds like patois. Like patois in Haiti or in, in, in Jamaica. Don't nobody know where he went. We should teach Tarzan language. You know, unk tamangani elephant go. You know, that kind of thing. I don't know. Here's another. She been finished that project. Yeah, it was called Ebonics back then. It was stupid back then and it is stupid in 2026.

[Announcer]

Just plain stupid.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Stupid, stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Does Ms. Blue who got stupid? I be too stupid to have a good time. I be going to take a break and I'd be back in a sec on the Rob Carson show.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Go ahead. Red

[Rob Carson]

with Ms. Now.

[Announcer]

You said today that country you're with

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

who Mississippi now Mississippi now that's a failing network. Why would you want to work for them?

[Rob Carson]

Ms. Now.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Can you imagine? They wanted to get away. They took the name NBC because they were embarrassed by it. Go ahead, let's go.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. That is Donald Trump making fun of Ms. Now because Ms. Now needs to make fun. It is an embarrassing network. It is. I mean just, it really is. It's fantastic. Oh, by the way, I just finished taping my TV show for the weekend. Rob Carson's what in the World. And I do the same thing. I give Ms. Now a lot, a lot of what fur. And this weekend show is off the hook. It is really off the hook. Just watch it on Saturday at 3 in the afternoon and then Sunday at 8:30 on Newsmax. And it's, it's. I did it. I taped it this morning. Normally I do it after the radio show. And so I am like fresh in the studio and just ornery. Just ornery. I'm just being ornery. And it's a very, very funny show. Donald Trump thinks it's the funniest show on television cycle. Will you see why the government is pulling student loan money from worthless college degree programs? And it's about time. This is according to Ricky Scott or Schlot I should say think about this. You know, we have graduated entire generation of kids with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. One of these morons is running for Congress in Colorado. Meerkat, Sublime or whatever the hell her name is. Anyway, she's 12 years in college, works at Starbucks, made $30,000 last year, has $250,000 in debt.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

Debt.

[Rob Carson]

She's bleeped. She's 29 years old, $250,000 in debt. Made $30,000 last year. Her story is not unusual and consequently you have kids who are just bankrupt starting their jobs. My son graduated with a crap ton of debt. Nothing like that, less than half of that. But at the same time, even $80,100,000. Graduating with $100,000 in debt, starting your life. You're bleeped. Do you know how many decades it's going to take to try to pay that off? With a starting salary of 40 grand, 50 grand, 60 grand, even 70 or 80 grand, you've already got a mortgage. The government. Here we go. Students no longer be able to take out federal student loans to pay for degree programs that fail to provide them with a return on investment. Thanks to a new federal policy went into effect July 1. Graduates more than 800 college programs across the country, including at institutions like University South Carolina, North New York City's new school make less than average high school grad four years after getting a degree. Even with a big degree now the American government will have no part in propping up degree programs that may not lead to a livable wage. Teens and 20 something should be protected by the federal government from making a catastrophic financial decision, like taking on debt to finance a degree that ultimately could decrease their earnings potential. My daughter is going to art school. I said, you have to make a living at art, and here's where we're going to. And I've told her, this is how you're going to become marketable. This is how you're going to create art that is sellable. You can dream about, you know, selling $50,000 prints and having them hang at art museums. But while you're doing that, if you want to do art as something other than a sideline, you're going to have to figure out how to make something that's marketable and sellable with your art. There you go. The HEA Group, a polyesteric organization focused on higher education, used economic education department data to compare average graduate earnings from some 32,000 bachelor programs around the country with average high school graduate wages. Listen to this. According to findings, 804 programs, 2% of all undergraduate programs which graduate 40,000 students, were flagged as potential failing the new policy. Graduates with music degrees from the University of South Carolina, Juilliard and the New York New School earn less on average four years after graduation than high school graduates, making 34,000, 32,000 and 32,900, respectively. Graduates of fine and studio arts programs at the New York City's Cooper Union pulled in just $24,000. That's below poverty, on average, four years out. And students with degrees in liberal arts as well as fine arts and studio arts from Bard College made slightly below the typical high school grad, $34,000. Mark Cantrowicz, author of how to Appeal for more college Financial aid, says that we can expect to see some chaos returning to these new changes. We may see some colleges discontinue programs some of their programs when they see significant shifts in enrollment and borrowing patterns. You should, because if you graduate with $200,000 of debt and you're making $24,000, you're effed for life. You are. You're screwed for life. Do you even realize, you know, remember the ghost of Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley? He had these chains forged in life. You're going to wear those chains the rest of your life with $250,000 worth of debt, making $30, $30,000 as a barista, and you want to be a congresswoman. Andrew Gillen, an education researcher, Cato institute, says the changes from the big beautiful bill don't go far enough. You could still have programs that just barely increase their graduates earnings but load them up with so much debt. It's a terrible financial investment for the student. And yes, it might be uncomfortable or even emotional for some in academia to acknowledge that many degrees, particularly in the humanities, are poor investments for many students. But it's true. We confront that truth so that students can make informed decisions about their futures. Broadcasting is a, is a bleep. Is a, is a, is a bleep show. Broadcasting is a BLEEP show. But I'll tell you what, I have always made a living at it. I've always made money even when I was unemployed. I know that sounds hard to believe. I've even made more than my wife when I was unemployed because I did freelancing and whatever until I could land a full time job. But everybody I graduated with, I think 98% of the students I graduated with in 1989 are selling real estate or doing something else. So broadcasting, not a great field unless you have a plan. But you've got to have a plan and you've got to be tenacious. One million percent. As far as a lesbian poetry degree, you're screwed. And you we shouldn't have to pay for it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Jim Gossett]

Alrighty.

[Rob Carson]

You know I gotta do that Jasmine Crockett audio here. I almost said I got to do Jasmine Crockett. Never in a million years. Here is Jasmine Crock rocket talking about how unhoused voters are the best. And by the way, she means unemployed, drug addicted, living on the streets people, why they're the best voters.

[Caller/Guest]

Some of the most impactful voters that I've had have been unhoused people. And you know, it has been the simplest things that I didn't even realize. Just recognizing their humanity that made them want to show up and vote for me.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you know, you know what made them want to show up and vote for you? Somebody probably bought him some, gave him cigarettes, paid him a few bucks like they did in la. Yeah, because she's not going to be in Congress much more. I'm gonna play this. We did it first.

[Caller/Guest]

And what we not gonna do is stand around what ain't pull this bull they trying to pull right now. We are gonna be in your face. We are gonna be on your asses.

[Jim Gossett]

Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett, crazy as she can

[Rob Carson]

be, she's also an idiot.

[Co-host/Panelist 3]

It

[Jim Gossett]

she's a racist from the Lone Star State, full of anger, full of hate. During a protest at the treasury she had a meltdown for all the world to see. Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett. She hates you if you're white.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. That is Jim. Guys, we did that a while back. Jesse Waters picked it up, started calling her not Davy Crockett, but we were first. Thank you very much. There you go. I was mentioning earlier about the worthless degrees. You know, I told my daughter, said, if you're gonna make an artist, if you're gonna make a living as an artist, you're gonna go to art school, you're going to have to make a living at art. So you got to come up with marketable stuff, whether it be tchotchkes, whether it be key rings, whether it be whatever, but you've got to make a living at it. And trade school was just mentioned in the chat on one of the live streams. Trade school is becoming increasingly amazing because it is not easily replaced by AI as so many other things are. And I always like to say, do what you got to do to get where you want to be. That's what I had to do when I had to sell cars for three days.

[Jim Gossett]

I hate.

[Rob Carson]

Or three years. I hated it. I hated it. But the first month that I sold cars, first month I sold 23 cars that I brought home $17,000. And my wife said, I'm not going to divorce you. Of course, she divorced me later. Do what you got to do to get where you need to be. And if you're pursuing a worthless degree or your kids pursuing a worthless degree, you've got to have a talk about how you're going to pay the bills, how you're going to pay off these student loans, because there you're not going to be around for them forever. There you go. I know you already know that. God bless you. America's founded document Donald Trump as he kicks Iran's butt. Our troops as well. Until tomorrow, which is Thursday, do not catch the stupid. See you then.
