Main Discussion Points & Insights

---

1. Trump vs. Reagan: Who is the Greater President?

(Start ~01:12; key moment at 04:05)

• Rob Carson introduces the episode’s central theme with reflections on Rush Limbaugh’s reverence for Ronald Reagan. He then pivots to the contemporary debate, referencing Newt Gingrich's argument that Trump, "despite everything being thrown at him" (91 indictments, two impeachments, the attempt to remove him from the ballot, negative press, and even surviving assassination attempts), is already one of the greatest U.S. presidents.
• Notable Quote (Newt Gingrich, 04:05):

  “You look at the scale of change that Trump is pulling off both at home and abroad, and it’s without parallel. Reagan was a great, great man … but in terms of sheer decisive energy and forcing things to change, I’ve never seen anything like Trump. Other than Washington and Lincoln, I can’t imagine anybody else who has had the extraordinary effectiveness that Trump has had. And remember, we’re still in the first year of his second term.”

---

2. Democrats, 80/20 Issues, and Culture War Flashpoints

(05:01–08:36)

• Carson explains how the Democrats are losing support by siding with the 20% on “80/20 issues” (e.g., gender-related policies in schools) and failing to address problems that matter to most Americans.
• Anecdote: Abigail Spamberger (VA) supports boys accessing girls’ sports/locker rooms—a position Rob derides as out of touch.
• Satirical jabs at Democratic figures, especially Nancy Pelosi, highlight Democrat discomfort amid renewed scrutiny of the January 6 National Guard decision.
• Notable Quote:

  "They're offering no reason to take back the midterms at all ... because they haven't learned anything and they're awful and they're on the wrong side of everything." (Rob Carson, 05:23)

---

3. Capitol Security, Pelosi’s Accountability, and January 6th

(08:36–09:43)

• Carson plays and mocks audio of Nancy Pelosi’s heated response to questions about her refusal of the National Guard on January 6, 2021.
• He references correspondence from the Chief of Capitol Police, underscoring ongoing Republican scrutiny.

---

4. Crime Drops and Federal Law Enforcement Successes

(12:25–18:35)

• Carson and Cash Patel (FBI Director) spotlight dramatic reductions in violent crime since Trump's second term began. Patel credits improved law enforcement cooperation and direct federal intervention.
• D.C. in particular, long a "crime-ridden hell hole," is described as now “spotless”.
• Notable Quote (Rob Carson, 14:13):

  “The first time in years Union Station hasn’t smelled like piss … the thing is spotless. It’s remarkable.”

• Notable Quote (Cash Patel, 16:15):

  “In just a three month span, you had 8,700 arrests of violent criminals … 421 kilograms of fentanyl seized—that’s enough to kill 55 million Americans.”

---

5. Satire and Parody

(Scattered throughout; ex: 08:27–09:43)

• The show maintains its signature comedic tone, with running gags about “flying monkeys being furloughed,” parodies of political rhetoric, and self-deprecating humor.
• Carson often contrasts the purportedly effective Trump administration with Democrats’ “tantrums” and ineptitude.

---

6. DEI Evasion Tactics in Local Government

(22:07–30:45)

• Adam Gillette of Accuracy in Media exposes how city governments, despite federal and state bans on DEI programs, sneak such initiatives in via rebranded job titles (e.g., “Excellence Department,” “Equity,” or even “Mental Health”).
• Investigations reveal that authorities often change job titles but continue the same DEI activities, using taxpayer money under new guises.
• Notable Quote (Adam Gillette, 25:40):

  “The creativity knows no bounds. Sometimes they simply say ‘equity’ … the more discreet ones call it ‘Excellence’ … or even rebrand as ‘Mental Health’.”

• Mayors and local officials, when confronted, criticize investigative journalism as “deceptive,” which podcast hosts mock as the precise role of real journalism.
• Federal authorities (including the Assistant Attorney General) are starting to take notice of these exposes.

---

7. Liberal Protest Culture and Lawbreaking

(31:30–34:36)

• Rob references polling that 60% of liberals under 30 see it as acceptable to go “beyond peaceful protest," especially regarding immigration enforcement (e.g., ICE raids).
• He integrates Chicago-specific audio, blending media soundbites with citizen testimonies to illustrate the disconnect between liberal elites and the communities affected by their policies.

---

8. Trump-Administration Crime Initiatives Next Steps

(19:06, 37:07–37:58)

• Cities like San Francisco and Boston are next up for federal attention regarding crime and urban decay, with Trump promising to “fix” them as he did D.C.
• Boston faces unique pressure, with Trump administration considering implications for hosting events like the World Cup if city leadership doesn't cooperate.
• Notable Quote (Chris Salcedo, 37:24):

  "Boston has a bad mayor… we could have [the city fixed] done in a month if we had their cooperation … it's going to be done anyway."

---

9. 2026 Midterms Projections & Democratic Decline

(39:48–40:26)

• Adam Gillette (39:48): “You go back six months ago ... Democrats had an 83% chance of taking back the House ... now it’s just a 63% chance and plummeting. The GOP is up like a rocket.”
• Host analysis: Democrats are “doubling down on stupid,” ignoring past losses and public sentiment.

Interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show.

[Rob Carson]

In America on air and on the world wide web. This is the Rob Carson show. Yes, this is the Rob Carson Show. It's already Thursday. T minus one day until Friday. What a show we have lined up for you today. Brianna Lyman's gonna join us on the show. She's always good. The liberty loving. Chris Salcedo from Newsmax going to be joining us very shortly on the radio program. He's got a new book out, by the way, so that'll be fun. That'll be fun to have him on. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. We have much to get to because this is the only show, the only conservative talk radio and podcast and livestream show that features comedy as one of its hallmarks. Because that's what I did with the Rush Limbaugh program. And it's not always funny. Trust me. There's plenty of stuff that's just not funny out there, right? There are days that, you know, sometimes we make a. We make a point with humor, sometimes we don't make a point with humor because sometimes things are too seriously to. To be taken other than seriously. How about that? How's that sound? So I hope you enjoy the show and like I said, strap in. Hang on. This is kind of cool. You know, I remember when. When Listening to Rush Limok, that was a late stage Rush baby. I became a Rush baby at age 23, right when I started writing for him. And so according to Democrats, I could still be aborted. So there is that. I could have, I could have been aborted. They probably wish I was, but anyway, but, but Rush used to, he used to talk about Ronald Reagan. And, you know, you don't blaspheme Ronald Reagan. And certainly I would not do that. And he would call him. What did Rush call Ronald Reagan? You remember? Do you remember Reynolds Magnus? Right, Reynolds Magnus. And I noticed, and you're almost kind of reticent to say it, because Ronald Reagan was a very good president, don't get me wrong. But when you look at kind of, I don't know what Donald Trump has been through, including the 91 indictments, the, the time to take him off the ballot, the 98% negative press coverage, the two impeachments, the attempt to take him out the battle, like I said it. And then they tried to murder him twice. Tried to murder him twice. Donald, Ronald Reagan got shot just like Donald Trump got shot. Obviously, Ronald Reagan, he was very touch and go on that, and he could have easily died from that, but he survived, he came back and he became an amazing, amazing president. But now you look at Donald Trump, despite it all, despite absolutely everything being thrown at him, a petulant, childish and awful Democrat Party who refuses to admit anything good and does everything they can to get in his way. Despite all of that, he's going to be one of the best presidents the country has ever seen. And last night, Newt Gingrich broached this topic.

[Chris Salcedo]

Oh, look, I love Ronald Reagan. I campaigned with him. I served in Congress eight years when he was president, he defeated the Soviet empire. He is certainly, I think, the second greatest president in the modern era after Trump. But you look at the scale of change that Trump is pulling off both at home and abroad, and it's without parallel. And Reagan was a great, great man, and he did things that really profoundly reshaped America. Everything we did when I was speaker was standing on Reagan's shoulders and implementing Reagan's ideas. But in terms of sheer decisive energy and forcing things to change, I've never seen anything like Trump. And as I said, other than Washington and Reagan, Washington and Lincoln, I can't imagine anybody else who has had the extraordinary effectiveness that Trump has had. And remember, we're still in the first year of his second term.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. And guess what? The Democrats are caterwauling. They are in A death spiral into hell. And we've got three years to go. And there's a real good chance the Democrats are not going to take the midterms. They think they're going to take back Congress in midterms. They're offering no reason to take back the midterms at all, at all because they haven't learned anything and they're awful and they're on the wrong side of everything. And there are literally this new, this new group of issues. They're called 80, 20 issues. Remember when I said before the election, I said 80% of us believe the country's head in the wrong direction. 80% of us can come together to save her. Remember that? Well, now there are 80, 20 issues and Democrats are siding with the 20. Like this woman running for governor in, in Virginia, Abigail Spamberger. She, she still thinks that boys should be able to, you know, dress up like girls and compete with girls in girl sports and go into girls locker rooms, the most, you know, sensitive place and vulnerable place a young woman could be. She's got three daughters and she's fine with boys going into girls locker rooms. I wonder how she'd feel if it were her kids. But it doesn't matter because she's insane. She's a Karen. She's a Karen. And Karen is going to fade in the distance. Karen's going to go back to being the head of the hoa. That's what she's going to do. Karen is going to go back and be a busybody in her own neighborhood, but she's not going to command the direction of culture and the Democrat Party, provided the Democrat Party can pull its head out of its rear end. And I'm not holding my breath on that. Not holding my breath on that at all. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Did you hear what happened yesterday on Capitol Hill? Did you see Nancy Pelosi? She got all sorts of upset. She was approached by a female reporter and she hasn't had to answer about January 6th because she told the National Guard, we don't need you. And it was almost kind of like maybe January the sixth was, was a setup or something. The Capitol Hill police chief, Steven sun at the time has just talked about how this, what happened. And sun just wrote to Nancy Pelosi. Let me refresh your memory. It was your sergeant in arms who repeatedly denied by multiple requests for National Guard assistance before. And on January 6th, even on January 6th, your sergeant in arms denied my urgent request for over 70 minutes while he was running it up the Chain for your approv. The Pentagon offered National Guard assistance, but I had to decline because your sergeant at arms would not grant me the legal authority. Yeah, that's what he said. So. So Nancy Pelosi is getting a little. She's feeling a little heat, by the way, she hasn't helped or felt heat in a while. I mean, her feet are probably cold as ice. But anyway, here she is yesterday on Capitol Hill. Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the new January 6th committee will find you liable for that name? Are you at all concerned about the new January 6th committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the national guard on January 6th? Listen, shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist? The American people want to know. We still have questions. Thank you. Wow. That is amazing. It's like she threw water on her or something. It's crazy. You cursed brat.

[Adam Gillette]

Look what you done.

[Rob Carson]

I'm melting me.

[Adam Gillette]

Oh, what a world. What a world. Who thought a good little girl like.

[Rob Carson]

You could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Are the flying monkeys. Are they furloughed right now during the government shutdown? I'm going, wow. You know, I got to tell you, I wonder if the flying monkeys are going to get paid, because, you know, they are. They got. Got their bills to pay. I mean, honestly. I mean, I know they don't have a mortgage or anything. They stay in the castle. But. But, you know, they got. They got bills to pay. They got little monkeys to raise, those little blue monkeys to raise. So, you know, and then Cash Patel, Cash Patel, he's the FBI director now. And see, he's come in here and he's exposed all this. This. And it's just coming, by the way. Just coming. There are a lot of people gonna be in a lot of trouble for all the abuses and usurpations and use of the. Weaponizing all the. All of the departments of the government against Donald Trump and. And us. And us. Oh, there's going to be hell to pay. Oh, my God, there's going to be hell to pay. Here's Cash Patel. He says a lot of indictments are coming beyond those who are already charged. I think you've seen other crimes that might eventually get referred to justice.

[Cash Patel]

Yes. We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who are in positions of power, and we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed. The documents are provided either to Congress or the courts of law and make every referral we can under the Department of Justice.

[Rob Carson]

It's going to be cool.

[Cash Patel]

Indictments that you've seen, some of that.

[Rob Carson]

Stuff passed the, the statute of limitations. And by the way, for aoc, that's not a statue, it's a statute of limitations. So I just want you to know that if you Democrats out there, you can't tear it down because it's not a statue of limitations. It's a statute of. Of limitations. But the thing is, what can still be tried is a criminal conspiracy. And it looks like there was a whole lot of that going on.

[Cash Patel]

That you're going coming up here in this near future are just the beginning. But I have to remind the audience, everybody's like, it's seven months. What have you guys been doing? Well, they spent 20 years building this disease temple of corruption. It takes a little bit of time to, to defeat it and beat it down. And I'm not asking to, trust me. I'm asking you to look at the work the men and women of the FBI have done so far in these seven, eight months, and just imagine what we're going to do come the year end.

[Rob Carson]

And remember, it's America's first colonoscopy after 250 years. And they're finding all sorts of things that need to be removed, including members of the FBI and the DHS and the DOJ and the CIA and all of that, because they're super corrupt. Super corrupt. And I certainly hope a lot of them end up going to jail. That would be pretty cool. That would be pretty cool. Coming up. I don't know if you knew this, but nationwide, the entire country since Donald Trump became the president, violent crime has dropped 20%. Do you know why? Because Donald Trump is allowing law enforcement to do what they're supposed to do, and that is to prevent crime. The Democrat Party has tried to tell you that the police aren't there to prevent crime, only to arrest people after it's been committed. I know. You're so. You're insane. You're insane. This is why you're not going to win the midterms. My God, are you. Are you high? Are you? You could give Americans everybody $10,000, they still wouldn't vote for you in the midterms. You're so terrible. But they try to convince you that the police don't prevent crime. They only pick up the pieces afterwards. So there's no way to prevent crime, right? Well, violent crime is down 20%. Nationally, even more right here in Washington, D.C. where I live. Cash Patel runs it down coming up next. And this is the Rob Carson Show.

[Chris Salcedo]

The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to newsmax.com commerc listen for details.

[Rob Carson]

So coming up at the bottom of the hour, we've got a guy, Adam Gillette's going to join us. He does accuracy in media. And apparently a lot of these Democrats don't like the fact that they're not supposed to be teaching DEI and CRT and all of that nonsense. And they're doing it anyway. And, and Adam has done a little bit of expose, gets him on camera, gets them kind of freaking out and everything and, and uncovers their malfeasance. So we'll talk to him at the bottom of the hour about. And then, of course, yesterday on Capitol Hill, Cash Patel, the new FBI director, arrived on Capitol Hill. And the Democrat Party, obviously, no matter what happens that is good, they either will not give Donald Trump credit or they relent. Like for instance, making America safe and bringing down violent crime. I live in Washington, D.C. now. I've lived here for about three months. Two weeks in, he brought in the National Guard because I don't know if you knew this, but DC Is a crime ridden hell hole. And it has been, it's a walking punchline. Their basketball team used to be called the Bullets. And they recognized the irony of that. So they changed the name of the basketball team. That's what they did. That's what they did because it was such a violent hell hole. And Donald Trump said, you know what, this is America's capital. And now the dang thing is spotless. It's amazing. This is, Benny Johnson was at Union Station. I went to Union Station a couple weeks ago and I went up to, I took the train for the first time up to Philadelphia. And I noticed when I got back, Union Station is Disneyland, Disney World. Spotless. It's, it's, it's remarkable. And here's Benny Johnson taking my first train in a very long time from Washington, D.C. just walked through Union Station.

[Chris Salcedo]

Unbelievable.

[Rob Carson]

The first time in years Union Station hasn't spelled like piss. Yeah. And booze. And there were like pigeons pooping on everything and homeless people using drugs and bathing in the fountains. It's been incredible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, you know why things got fixed? Because somebody did something instead of like Joe Biden, who was on vacation 40% of the time until Kamala Harris became the candidate without a single vote. And then he was on vacation 60% of the time. And the Democrat party does nothing but loot the Treasury. They do nothing. They do nothing. Name one thing that has been fixed in the last 50 years in Washington D.C. go ahead. Do, do, do, do, do one thing. Anything. Anything. Let's see. The va. No. Health care. No, no, no. Infrastructure. Nope, nope, nope, nope. Social Security? No. No. Still bankrupt. What the hell do you do? We have somebody in office right now who is doing something making America great again. And yes, it is the greatest country in the history of the world. The Democrats say it was never great. Even though London, Paris existed for over a thousand years and when our country was founded, they were still using the streets as a latrine. All right, there you go. And then we came along. Here we go. We've even played golf on the moon. And we did that 50 years ago. Oh my God. Yeah, we're great. And finally, we got a president in America who's actually wants to see America live its potential and it's working beautifully. Here's the FBI director, Cash Patel talking about. Violent crime has plummeted since Donald Trump took office. Why? He's letting the police do what they do. He's sending FBI. You didn't know this? Even old JB Pritzker, he didn't even know the FBI has been working with local authorities in cities around the country and bringing the crime rate down. Maybe that's why the crime rate's down instead of Democrats taking vote taking credit for it. Yeah, maybe it's because of this. Well, of course it is.

[Cash Patel]

Three months span, you had 8700 arrests of violent criminals. You had 2200 firearms seized off the streets permanently to safeguard our communities. You had 421 kilograms of fentanyl seized. Just to put that in perspective, that's enough to kill 55 million Americans alone. You had 45,000 kilograms of cocaine seizing. And thanks to our Department of Justice partners who had 2100.

[Rob Carson]

Why didn't Joe Biden do that? Oh, because he was on vacation. And he also has pudding for brains.

[Cash Patel]

Indictments in three months from June to September alone, Mr. President, that in and of itself would be historic for a four year president.

[Rob Carson]

You know, and, and generally, if you add another party that was just the, the opposition party without being the petulant, evil Marxist children that the Democrat Party is, you'd have Democrats saying, hey, that's pretty cool. That's awesome. Because people are gonna live and they're gonna be able to experience freedom and everything's gonna be awesome. But instead you'll probably have Democrats saying, well, what Are murderers gonna do. What are murderers gonna do if they can't murder? I mean, come on, you're putting a whole bunch of people out of their line of work, which is murdering.

[Cash Patel]

See, you did that in seven months because you let good cops be cops and you partnered us with the right people, the Department of Justice.

[Rob Carson]

Well, what did Democrats do? They defunded the police. They didn't say anything. When the country burned in the summer of 2020 and thousands of police officers were injured and many more thousands gave up being police officers because of the.

[Cash Patel]

Democrat Party, the handcuffs on and bring them to court and put them in prison. And if that weren't enough, when you look at the year for the entire seven month period that we're.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the entire. What about what? How good are things now?

[Cash Patel]

About here?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Cash Patel]

If you look at the past four years of the Biden administration. 16,000. 17,000. 15,000. 15,000. That's the number of arrests year over year of violent felons in this country for the Biden administration. Mr. President, in seven months you have 27, 28,600 arrests of violent feminine in justice.

[Rob Carson]

What are those criminals got to do for a living now?

[Cash Patel]

Months alone because of your leadership and the dedication of the men and women at the FBI who want to go out there and do the job. They were perfect.

[Rob Carson]

I love it. Don't you? You think most people would be happy about that? Not the Democrat Party. No, no, no, no, no. They. They do stupid crap like when, you know, government waste is being cut, they. They burn Tesla dealerships. And this weekend they're going to do a no Kings protest, which is pointless. Completely pointless and stupid. It's just like those idiots in Portland riding around naked on their bikes. That's what toddlers do when they're throwing a tantrum. It's ridiculous. Donald Trump says San Francisco's next, strongly.

[Chris Salcedo]

Recommending at the request of government officials, which is always nice, that you start looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. There's a place called the Tenderloin district. And right now you've got zombies standing there completely bent over or laying on the ground completely drugged out of their minds and dying.

[Chris Salcedo]

There's one of our great cities 10 years ago, 15 years ago, now it's a mess.

[Rob Carson]

They have poop maps so you can avoid not stepping in human feces.

[Chris Salcedo]

And we have great support in San Francisco, so I'd like to recommend that for inclusion. Maybe in your next group you get great support.

[Rob Carson]

Yep. And of course, Democrats would complain about it because they want to keep things crappy. Literally in the case of San Francisco, they want to keep it crappy. But Donald Trump's making America great again. It's, it's remarkable. We got more on this coming up. Then we're going to move into the shutdown a little bit. And then John Fetterman. Oh, Zoran Mandami had an interview yesterday. He was on, he was on Fox actually doing an interview. And what he didn't say said more than if you would have actually said something. He has not condemned Hamas. He has not said he would not arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. And of course, he's going to raise up taxes and make make New York City unlivable. So all of that is coming up. Joining us next is Adam Gillette. Accuracy in media on the Rob Carson show. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson. You know, when I was a kid and I would ride in a car, I would get so car sick and so nauseous, my parents would have to carry me into the house. Recently I went on a sailboat in Mexico and I got so motion sick, I was sick all day. Then I found Relief Band. If you get nauseous, you absolutely must get relief band. Relief Band is the original anti nausea wristband that quickly relieves and effectively prevents nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraines, hangovers, morning sickness, chemotherapy and much more.

[Adam Gillette]

So imagine being a taxpayer in Raleigh, North Carolina. You think that your taxes locally are going for law enforcement, schools, roads, maybe ambulance services. Instead, you find that they're being used to fund radical DEI principles in several facets of their city government. And yet even though they're so proud of their radical DEI ideas, they have to hide them. I guess because they know the taxpayers don't want it and I guess because they know there are federal executive orders prohibiting their Work.

[Rob Carson]

Now, that is Adam Gillette, the president of Accuracy and Media. And you know, Donald Trump has ushered in this new, this new era of getting all this woke nonsense out of government. But some government are saying, nope, nope, nope, we're going to do it anyway in defiance of them. And fortunately we have kind of a rebirth of journalism happening in the country. I don't know if you noticed that you can actually report on the news without somebody saying it's misinformation and disinformation. Joining us to talk about that is Adam Gillette, the president of Accuracy and Media, who is the person you just heard on that report. Adam, welcome to the show, man. How are you?

[Adam Gillette]

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

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dude. So this is what they're doing. They've been given an order. You do not use this DEI nonsense. We are not paying for it and they're continuing to do it. Tell us what you discovered.

[Adam Gillette]

You know, it's so funny. When we released our K through 12 investigations and our higher education investigations showing DEI in defiance of federal law, state law, executive orders, I noticed in all of the comments on the videos people saying, I thought this stuff was banned everywhere. And having personally been undercover in 200 plus school districts and we've got a team that goes after these universities, I knew that maybe it's banned everywhere, but it has proliferated all over the place. So we figured for the heck of it, let's go to some of these city governments that prominently had DEI previously and see if they've changed things at all in response to the executive order. And as you see in that first of many videos, the law means nothing to these radicals.

[Rob Carson]

Well, how are they paying for this? Are they doing something under the table? They just, I mean, do they not expect we're going to find out? You know, shouldn't there be some sort of a, maybe a money trail there?

[Adam Gillette]

Well, that's exactly right. And essentially what we see in higher education, K12 education and now local government, is that they simply change the job titles and continue doing the exact same thing. You know, you and I could probably get in a great money making racket if we started a business card company. Because these folks, they change titles sometimes multiple times in the same year and give themselves new job titles to fly under the radar. But then when we speak to them with hidden cameras, they brag to us about how they're continuing to do the same sort of Marxist, anti American, radicalized work with government money. You want to be a far left activist, knock yourself Out. Create a political action committee. A C3. Whatever you want to do, just don't do it under the auspices of city government.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. So they formerly were known as DEI Director. What are some of the titles you've heard there? They're switching. I'm curious. What. What are they going as now? Are these going? Are they out and out lying? Is there any hint about what the title is about? Are they saying, I'm a janitor but I'm doing the DEI program? What are they doing? What kind of titles are they using?

[Adam Gillette]

The Creativity Knows no Bounds. A lot of times they'll just simply say equity. They'll just keep that word. The more discreet ones call it Excellence. I work in the Excellence department.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, really?

[Adam Gillette]

I've heard proliferate. Oh, yeah, it's excellent to them.

[Rob Carson]

The Excellence Department. Yes, go ahead.

[Chris Salcedo]

Yes.

[Adam Gillette]

In K through 12 education. Some of these people told me they simply rebranded as Mental Health.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, that's kind of ironic. So you're fighting this everywhere. You with accuracy. At media. By the way, you do a great job. I love this stuff. What happens after they're exposed? Are authorities going after them? Are they having to come to Jesus? Well, probably not in Jesus, because, you know, it's public education. No, certainly not. But what are they doing after they're exposed?

[Adam Gillette]

Well, the mayor of Raleigh responded to that video directly and bemoaned that we met with them under false pretenses. I guess they're the only ones who are allowed to use deception. They've got a monopoly on deception. Evidently in the Raleigh community, we can't use deception to expose.

[Rob Carson]

Hold on a second. I think that's called journalism. Isn't that called journalism?

[Adam Gillette]

No, I think journalism is when these reporters and rallies write hit pieces about us where they claim that we were exposing, that they pushed diversity. You know, that's what evidently Rowley considers to be journalism. My gosh, what a joke it is.

[Rob Carson]

What the hell? I mean, what do you expect? If they're hiding something like that? The only people who are going to. Actually, maybe this is how upside down the world has become, because generally the liberal leftist media on the national level, they just tow the party line. So maybe they've lost touch in what journalism really is, which is supposed to hold those in power to, you know, to the truth. And maybe that's exactly. Now you're an outlier, I guess.

[Adam Gillette]

Well, they have no interest in speaking truth to power. They merely want to defend their allies in power. They're political activists mad masquerading as journalists, pretending to Report the news, when in reality, many of these news outlets report things they know not to be true merely because it's what their audience wants to hear. But this is truly outrageous, what we're seeing in these videos. You know, imagine, as I said, you're a taxpayer in that community. The next time they ever try to raise your taxes, the first thing I'd say to them is, well, you claim you need to raise taxes for roads and parks and schools and ambulances, but you're spending my money on taxpayer funded DEI activists to push far left activism. You know, a lot of people misunderstand dei. They think it's a new version of affirmative action. And it's actually much worse than that. What they essentially are teaching people in schools and what your city government is doing, pushing within their department and externally, is that the world, they say, is made up of oppressors and oppressed. Of course, white people, Americans, were oppressors. And if you use violence against an oppressor, they say that's okay. That's merely resistance to oppression. That's how they defend things like the October 7th terror attack. That's what the EI is.

[Rob Carson]

Unbelievable. You know, I. I wish I would have known that I had a white privilege when I was out of work in radio for two years and lost my house. I could have just avoided it. I could. With my white privilege, man, what the hell? What was I thinking?

[Adam Gillette]

Should have gotten the memo as well. Should have gotten the memo as well. You know, I'm Jewish, which I'm proud of and whatnot, but according to them, I'm a white supremacist. Well, support institutionalized systems of oppression and you're a colonizer. Let the Jews in the white supremacy club.

[Rob Carson]

You are. You are colonizer, man. You, you the Jewish. You guys are colonizer. It's just remarkable to me. But this is a federal. This is a federal executive order. So why could federal authorities go after these people?

[Adam Gillette]

Well, in fact, the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Harmony Dillon, has responded to a number of our investigations on social media. We've also had People file Title 6 complaints with the federal government. And we've honestly had the feds get involved in a number of our investigations. So hopefully something will be done. But I have to say this is the first of many communities we're exposing in North Carolina alone, as well as plenty of others in red states throughout the country. I think Texas is up next.

[Rob Carson]

I love this stuff, Adam. And you know, I'd love to have you on as your work continues on a regular basis to tell us what you're up to because you're doing real journalism. I think I believe that journalism is making a comeback. I really do. You got people like John Solomon, you got people like Matt Taibbi and Matthew Shellenberger and all of these guys. I think some amazing things are happening. So where can people find all your work? ADAM Gillette, Accuracy in MEDIA yeah, our.

[Adam Gillette]

Website is aim.org aim.org, we're active on every social media platform and it's such an honor to be mentioned with John Solomon, by the way.

[Rob Carson]

He's famous.

[Adam Gillette]

But accuracy Media on every social media platform. We have a ton more hidden camera investigations coming out next week. And as I said, the website is.

[Rob Carson]

Aim.Org well, let's have you on next week then. How's that sound?

[Adam Gillette]

That works great for me.

[Rob Carson]

All right, Adam, I appreciate your time today. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Adam Gillette]

That's why shutting the government is really what the Democratic Party wants to do. And I follow country, then party, and it's the wrong thing for the country. In a period of chaos, I refuse to vote to shut our government down. I absolutely would love to have, I would love to have, have a conversation about extending the tax credits for health care. Absolutely. But I would remind everybody, too, this was designed by the Democratic Party to expire at the end of the year.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Adam Gillette]

This is not something taken from by the Republicans.

[Rob Carson]

That's.

[Adam Gillette]

They were designed.

[Rob Carson]

Well, that is a John Fetterman proving that, you know that thing you do when your computer is acting up, you turn it off and turn it on. You can do that with your brain. That's what happened to John Fetterman. John Fetterman had a massive stroke. Remember that? And listen, the guy is pretty remarkable. I'm not saying he's completely, you know, you know, there are a lot of things he's still real well left of center on, but maybe that should happen to, well, can't have an AOC because she doesn't have a brain. So never mind on that one. Bernie has Bernie Sanders. If you turned it off, I don't think it come back on. So but anyway, it's kind of amazing, right? And listen, and on a kind of a personal note for him, listen to how far he's come. Listen to his speaking because he was barely able to speak when he was running for office and he had a stroke. And now he's not only thinking clearly and I don't know, with common sense. With common sense from A Democrat. Oh, my God. It's amazing. It is amazing. So, yeah, he says no on a shutdown, shut down day, number 16. Democrats certainly are. The reason being because clean CR went through the House and Democrats are holding it up. Don't let anybody try to fool you. And they're continuing to throw temper tantrums and storm around the White House and all. Honestly, it is so embarrassing. It's just embarrassing at this time. Embarrassing at this time. Here's something that'll not surprise you at all. 60% of young voters say it is acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration raids conducted by ice, according to a new survey by Signal. I wonder why that is. I wonder why that is. The Trump administration must end the war on Chicago. The Trump administration must end this war against Americans. We don't want to have to protest anybody, but we are not going to be ignored.

[Chris Salcedo]

Brandon.

[Rob Carson]

The Trump administration must end its attempt to dismantle our democracy. I want you to listen. I took some of the inflammatory rhetoric of Brandon Johnson and J.B. pritzker and interspersed it with actual Chicagoans. As black people who have been hurt continuously, it ain't our responsibility to take.

[Cash Patel]

Care of everybody else.

[Rob Carson]

The Trump administration is seeking to destabilize our city and provoke chaos. I've also said for the last couple of years that the extreme right in this country refused to accept the results of the Civil War.

[Cash Patel]

We are in a humanitarian crisis right now.

[Rob Carson]

The black people in Chicago are bleeding on the street. These south and west side homeowners are angry. They believe the city has overextended itself and should be putting the tens of millions of dollars earmarked for migrants into Chicago's most vulnerable neighborhoods. There is no invasion here. There is no insurrection here. But the south side has been under.

[Adam Gillette]

Resourced, underfunded for years. For decades.

[Rob Carson]

Donald Trump, Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovine know have brought their militarized CBP and ICE agents to the streets of Chicago. So you got inflammatory rhetoric from big fat Democrats and then the people begging for help. This is just what Karen did during the summer of 2020. Karen, the White Karen, said, we need to defund the police. And people in America's inner city is like, no, no, no, no. We like the police. We like the police. And then of course, who's who suffered? People in America's inner cities, 42% of liberals say it's acceptable, go way beyond peaceful protests, even if it meant breaking the law. The number jumps to 60% in liberals under the age of 30. Liberals are shockingly okay. Well, he also convinced people under 30 or a liberal that they could become the opposite sex. So there was that. By the way, I went to the. I went to the store yesterday. I went to Target. I didn't want to go to Target, but I went to Target. There were like five employees still wearing masks. I literally, I walked up, up to one of them. I said, oh, my God, is there another strain of COVID that I don't know about? Didn't get much of a response. One lady said she wore it because of allergies. Oh, okay. Wear a surgical mask for allergies. My God. Liberals shockingly okay with breaking the law to go against the government action they don't agree with. Like ICE raids. According to Signal president and pollster Brent Buchanan, 25% of the 1500 respondents told Signal that's acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest. 11% strongly agreed, as did 18% of liberals, of women under 55. Wait, I thought. I thought the violence was coming from both sides of the political equation here. Oh, no, see, that was a bunch of crap. Yeah, that was a bunch of crap. Absolutely. 70% of respondents disagreed, including 55% strongly agreed. As far as. As far as conservatives, 84% disagreed that violence should be used. But this is your Democrat Party. This is what they do. This is what they do. But by the way, Donald Trump also yesterday in this, this meeting, and I don't know if we were listening earlier, Cash Patel said, with Donald Trump's presidency Thus far, about seven months in violent crime across America is down 20% because the FBI has been working with local authorities. So even big fat JB Pritzker didn't even know about it. And so the crime is on the way down, even before he went into places like Washington D.C. and Memphis. And then I also have a question for Director Patel.

[Adam Gillette]

I know you talked about.

[Rob Carson]

They're going to Boston next. Some distaste for Boston recently. Is this one of the cities that you might be looking into? And can you give us a hint about other cities that you might be saying to?

[Chris Salcedo]

Where for? Where?

[Rob Carson]

Boston.

[Chris Salcedo]

Yeah, well, Boston has a. A bad mayor.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Chris Salcedo]

Who at least is a reasonable IQ person. You know, most of them are low iq, but. And they're so bad. I mean, what's going on in Chicago is this. You think the guy would say, hey, look, no, we have a problem, Mr. President, could you come in and straighten it?

[Rob Carson]

That.

[Chris Salcedo]

I could have that. We could have that done in a month if we had their cooperation. It's going to be done anyway. But we could have it done in a month. Yeah. Boston, she's got four areas that are, you know, wrong and you know, somebody said would we take, would we think about taking the World cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out? The answer is yes, we have the right to do that.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, that's pretty, that. Now there you go. That's laying the heavy on things right there. Yeah. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Adam Gillette]

Show.

[Rob Carson]

ROB CARSON Show. I'm holding in my hand a really nice silver proof. It's a one troy ounce of silver and if you, if you order $5,000, invest in $5,000 from Birch Gold this month in advance of Veterans Day they're going to send you one of these. Now this was worth about $49 last week. It's worth 53 this week because gold and silver, silver is going up and silver hasn't seen days like this. This is remarkable actually. So you can get one of these. And remember you're not buying gold, you're, you're investing in gold. And gold has gone up like 45% this year. So there is that. Yeah. So the kind of bonus. Hello, bonus, bonus, Huge a plus rating for the bbb, tens of thousands of happy customers, most of many of which are my listeners. I encourage you to diversify your savings into gold. And all you gotta do is just text my name. You know the drill. Text Rob2989898Rob29898 and what they'll do is they'll send you some information, get the ball rolling. It doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't happen overnight. So what I would do is text my name rob2989898 and you could get, be eligible for free silver with a qualifying purchase before the end of the month. Before the end of the month. So there is, there is that. We got so much I want to get to here coming up on the show. This is kind of fun, fun. Harry Enten talking about the, the Democrat party and you know, we were talking about the midterms. We've got a couple things going on. There's a Supreme Court case we'll talk about later talking about redistricting according to race. If they get rid of that, the Democrat party is going to lose 19 seats without us even trying in the midterms.

[Adam Gillette]

You go back six months ago, you go back to April K Ball when what were we looking at? Well, we were looking at the Democrats with a very clear shot of taking control of the US House of Representatives. According to the Cauchy prediction, Marcus, we saw him in an 83% chance, but those odds have gone plummeting down. Now we're talking about just a 63% chance while the GOP chances up like a rocket. Democrats are not gaining the way that we expected. Then you add in the fact that the state legislators are adding potentially more GOP seats, like they've already done down in Texas, like they've done in Missouri, and then you add in the potential gutting of the vra, and all of a sudden, it becomes much more difficult for Democrats to get gain.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, and the great thing about it also is that the Democrat Party hasn't learned anything from the loss in November, the loss of both houses of Congress, the popular vote, and the Electoral College. They haven't learned a thing. And actually, they're doubling down on stupid, and they're caterwauling and they're throwing temper tantrums and they're burning Tesla dealerships and they're going to have a big, idiotic Protest in Washington, D.C. based on nothing at all. It's called the no King. It means nothing. So their chances are spinning into hell just like the Democrat Party itself. Take a break and come back. We got another two hours of the show. Hour number two is next. Don't go anywhere.
