Overview

This episode of The Rob Carson Show delivers Rob's signature blend of political commentary, cultural critique, and humor. The focus centers on what Rob portrays as major wins for Donald Trump and the conservative right following a turbulent political week—chief among them Trump’s surging poll numbers, the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, and mounting backlash against what Rob sees as failed strategies and rhetoric from the Democratic Party. The show also includes sharp rebukes of prominent left-wing politicians and a reflection on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, which Rob believes has catalyzed a spiritual and conservative resurgence in America.

2. Jimmy Kimmel’s Firing – Political Spin vs. Reality

Tone & Language

The tone is combative, sarcastic, and unapologetically partisan. Rob employs colorful analogies, vivid language (“panties in such a bunch, you'd have to dig them out with a backhoe”), and frequent use of humor and disparagement directed at political adversaries. Notable moments of earnestness emerge around tributes to faith, freedom, and Charlie Kirk.

Final Thoughts

This episode distills Rob Carson’s brand: direct, irreverent, and steeped in the conservative culture war. It blends sharp takes on news events (Kimmel, Trump’s poll surge), critiques of left-wing politicians and media, and a call to spiritual action. Rob’s message is clear: the right is winning, the left is flailing, and America is on the cusp of a cultural and spiritual turning point.

In America on air and on the world wide web.

[Tony Kennett]

This is the Rob Carson show and.

[Rob Carson]

By the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside because my gosh, what a show. We have lined up for you. A lot of things to get to as the show progresses. We're going to talk a little bit about Kimball. Go talk a little bit about, of course, the great Charlie Kirk. The Democrat party last week saying we need to bring down the temperature and this week bringing it up. Okay, they have no interest whatsoever in bringing down the temperature. They actually want a war. I'm not kidding. I really do believe the Democrat party won a war. They don't. I got to tell you, if you want to try and start a war with the right, you're. You're going to be fighting with the most well armed intellectually and physically people in world history and it's not going to end well. It's not going to end well. So you might want to rethink that one. But. Yeah, but they brought it back up again. Last week they wanted the temperature brought down. Now they brought it back up. They're bipolar. I mean, the Democrat party is freaking bipolar. They're out of their minds. Out of their minds. So we got that. We got a lot of good news today on the show. Donald Trump got some good news negotiating a deal with China on the TikTok and, and, and Ooh.

[Tony Kennett]

Ooh.

[Rob Carson]

You know, the indignity that Joe Biden suffered on all of you guys who signed up for the military after nine, 11, you know, all you Afghanistan veterans and all that, you know what Donald Trump is saying, we're going to get back Bagram. We're going to take back Bagram. Oh, my goodness. Rub the old man's face in it. Joe Biden, you, you, you. I gotta tell you, I'll be nice. Joe Biden gonna rub your face in what you did. The indignity that you served up on our veterans, our Afghan war veterans. We're Bagram. Hell, yeah. So that's coming up on the show. Just real quick, for those of you who want to understand why Jimmy Kimmel was fired, it had nothing to do with Donald Trump and Donald Trump being a fascist. But this kind of gives you an idea. The Democrat Party, like I said last week, they wanted to bring down temperature. This week, they want to take it back up against Donald Trump, even though the words like fascist and all that caused people to commit acts of violence, including the murder of Charlie Kirk. Yes. Because they wrote it on the freaking shell casings. Okay, honestly, you people, you're sick. You're sick. I. I'm, I'm. I'm so done. So done with the Democrat Party. So, so we got that. But if you wanted to know why Jimmy Kimmel was fired, it wasn't because of Donald Trump. He had nothing to do with. He was in Great Britain. Here is Jesse Waters, and I'm just going to tell you, I think Jesse did a great job understanding this. And I understand because I've been in broadcasting a while. I know over the air, broadcasting, broad licenses, all that crap. I know it because I've lived it. Listen to this. Just pay attention.

[Tony Kennett]

Almost half of ABC's affiliates were threatening to black out his show that night. Advertisers were burning up the phones. ABC executives were getting flooded with emails.

[Rob Carson]

But Donald Trump is a fascist or something.

[Tony Kennett]

Disney boss Bob Iger wanted Kimmel to apologize, but Kimmel said, no way.

[Rashida Tlaib]

Bob, Jimmy wanted to go on his show last night. And in his monologue, I hear that he wanted to address the backlash from the right regarding his commentary about Charlie Kirk's charged killer. And I hear that that monologue was very hot. It very much took aim at maga. And that is when the executive said, we can't have him go on the air tonight.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. You want to know what else? Jimmy Kimmel has had that show for, like, 15 years, and the ratings have gone back down. 76% and he took the. The heritage and the tradition of Johnny Carson and he flushed it down the toilet because he and. And Stephen Colbert dec. Exercise complete editorial control over it and drive it to the left. Left. Left. Okay. So bringing on guests exclusively leftist politicians that are not interesting. They assumed editorial control of those shows and they bastardized the heritage and the legacy of the shows. That's why it failed. That's why it failed. But Donald Trump is a fascist because Jimmy Kimmel got fired. You know what? Honestly. People get fired all the time. Honestly. And that. That the left is suddenly going Donald Trump.

[Tony Kennett]

He.

[Rob Carson]

It's a frickin talk show host who got fired. Get over yourselves. My God. Actually get some medicine. Get some sort of therapy because honestly. Shut up. People get fired all the time. Frickin Jimmy Kimmel. Nobody was watching Jimmy Kimmel. He had a tiny little audience. Most of the people who watched him would catch YouTube clips and he's not a big deal at all. Not at all. He destroyed late night television. And all of a sudden you're all butt hurt. And the reason being is because you want to use him and his firing to go after Donald Trump again. Because you had to stop saying fascist and all that when that sort of language got Charlie Kirk murdered and got Donald Trump shot the first time. But now that Jimmy Kimmel's been fired somehow you can blame it on Donald Trump and call him a fascist all over again. My God. Frickin get some mental help. Seriously. Because it's not working. The loudest voices defending Jimmy Kimmel. Guess what? They're really loud. But nobody is listening to them. I've got details on that. Because Donald Trump's popularity ratings are going through the ceiling. Oh by the way, for those of you who think that this is the only time this has ever happened and Jimmy Kimmel is being fired because he's a fascist or Donald Trump is a fascist. Listen.

[Tony Kennett]

ABC suspended Brian Ross for pinning a shooting on the wrong guy. Sound familiar? Whoopee. For mangling the Holocaust. Bob Griesy for a taco joke. And they fired Limbaugh and Roseanne for racial stuff. ABC fired Bill Maher for calling the 911 hijackers brave.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Tony Kennett]

We have been the cowards. Lobbing Cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it, not cowardly. Did he have a right to say that?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Tony Kennett]

Was that the wrong thing to say right after 9 11? Yeah. We were still pulling bodies out of the smoking Rubble at ground zero.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, so Jimmy Kimmel got fired because he destroyed Late Night by making it essentially an editorial soundboard for his left. MIS views, bastardizing and crapping on Johnny Carson's legacy. And then all of his sponsors were leaving and ABC was losing their ass on money. It's not because Donald Trump was a fascist, okay? So how about shut up. Honestly. Get a grip, you bunch of whiny little B words on the left. You're a bunch of. I mean, honestly, your panties are so much in a bunch, it would take a backhoe to pull them out of your butt crack. Honestly. Dear God, get a freaking life. Because I'm done with it. Done with it, done with it, done with it. We love to win.

[Tony Kennett]

Winning, winning. So much winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's lots of winning.

[Tony Kennett]

Lots of winning.

[Rob Carson]

Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning.

[Tony Kennett]

Lots of winning. It's oh, so good.

[Rob Carson]

I think I'm going to hang on to that. Their panties are in such a bunch, you'd have to dig them out with a backhoe. I kind of like that. I'm not talking about Jasmine Crockett, by the way. It's a. It's a big tractor with a. With a bucket on the back, in case you wanted to know. So here's the good news. Even though Donald Trump is a fascist and all that, and, you know, firing everybody and, you know, once Hitler and all that, uh, President Trump's net approval ratings just surge seven points in four days. 51 to 47%. Rasmussen. You know why? Because Donald Trump is on the right side of history and the Democrat Party is revealing themselves as evil and sobs. Evil, wretched, awful. Like a bunch of witches stirring a cauldron. I mean, honestly, dancing around, celebrating online because Charlie Kirk was murdered. What the hell is wrong with you people? But this is seven points, okay, Honestly. Now, I've told you, I've been telling you that the Democrat Party, they are like vampires, you know, vampires dying, movie vampires. Like movie vampires dying. And they die really big and really ugly. And they're lashing out, they're gnashing their teeth, they're. They're grabbing with their claws to try to drag them in, into hell with them. And we're not going. Donald Trump is a fan. He's Hitler. And this weekend is probably going to be a record setting Sunday for church attendance in America in a very long time. And your Democrat Party is over here saying that Charlie Kirk was a racist, misogynist, whatever the hell. And because Jimmy Kimmel, the A hole supreme, lost his job Donald Trump is a fascist. Honestly, you people are going to be left behind just like the people when the rain started falling and Noah just rolled up that, that gangway to the ark and you're going to be pounding on the door trying to get in. You're going to be pounding on the door of goodness. Honestly, you are on the wrong side of history. We are about ready to enter a spiritual rebirth. We're in the middle of it right now. It's only going to get bigger and all you can do is n your teeth and show your claws. And honestly, you're just a foul bunch. You're going to have to have a come to Jesus moment because honestly, you are just awful, awful people. Awful, awful, awful people. What else can I do before this break? I have got. I better save that. It's just so good. No, I'll play it. I'm going to play it right now. Jasmine Crockett, on top of everything else this week, really put the icing on the idiot cake for all time. One of the dumbest things I've ever heard ever. And when she is, you know, loses her seat in Congress when her term is up, she will be remembered for this absolutely stupid thing.

[Rashida Tlaib]

I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, there you go. That's the icing on the, on the idiot cake right there. I got to hear that again. It is the dumbest thing I've she's ever said. I know it's hard to believe. It's hard to believe. She barely has enough intelligence to keep her automatic autonomic breathing system going. But this one really takes the idiot cake.

[Rashida Tlaib]

I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That, that is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.

[Rob Carson]

Okay? So remember, the loudest voices on the left are just loud. The country is rejecting it. That's what you need to know. The loudest voices on the left are just loud. That's all. Because they're getting their asses kicked. So I would suggest we do a little ass kicking today. How's that sound? I think it sounds like a lot of fun. You better hang on because we got some new comedy from Jim Gossett. We got some great guests, including Tony Kennett coming up at the Bottom of the hour, Mary Walter. Next hour, Christian Toto. The final hour. And all we need is your phone calls. 800-92-680. This is the Rob Carson Show. The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere.

[Tony Kennett]

Go to newsmax.com listen for details.

[Rashida Tlaib]

I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.

[Rob Carson]

That is Jasmine Crockett. And, you know, if anything else comes to mind today, just remember she's one of the dumbest people in the history of the, the world, if not Congress. And she's like the leading contender in the Democrat Party for, you know, whatever. They want to go the direction of the, the Democrat Party. They're just so stupid. It's. It's so fantastic. My God, they haven't learned anything from 2024, and they're doubling down on stup. And Donald Trump has gone up 7 points in approval. 7 points in approval because the Democrat Party celebrated Charlie Kurt's murder. And, and they're. And they suck. And they just. They're just awful, awful people. My God, what an awful group of people you are. Wow. Just wow. You know, I'm going to do some Charlie Kirk content today. Obviously. I don't want to just mourn. I don't want to just mourn. I want to remember. I want to remember and make his legacy so gigantic, you know? 62,000 chapters they've requested. 62,000 chapters of TPSU have been requested. This is going to be bigger than you ever, ever imagined. And the Democrat Party is being left in the background. Has the Democrat Party said anything about faith in God and going to church and praying? No, because they don't pray to God. They don't pray to God. Like I said, the Democrat Party, there's a lot of loud voices, but nobody listens to them. There's a lot of loud voices, but nobody is listening to them. Meaning they are not accepting their take on things. They don't like it because it's awful and evil. That's it. That's awful. Nobody wants to be around someone who celebrates when another person gets murdered, and that's your Democrat Party. Your Democrat Party wanted to bring down the temperature after Charlie Kirk got murdered. And then today they're. They're even worse than they were before. Even worse than they were before. It is absolutely unbelievable. Here is okay, here, for instance, is. Oh, this exchange. This is Rashida Tlaib in Congress yesterday with Byron Donald. I want you to listen to this insane harpy from hell.

[Rashida Tlaib]

Fascist takeover.

[Tony Kennett]

That's not a bad word.

[Rob Carson]

This is after, you know, the murderer of Charlie Kirk used words like fascist and all that because the Democrat Party has been parodying this about us for a decade now, okay? Same thing was done with the kids murdered in the Catholic school by the trans person in Minneapolis. Everybody who's doing this, they say fascist, Hitler, all of that stuff. Everybody who commits an act of violence against Donald Trump or a Republican, etc. They use the same language. And here is a week and a half after Charlie Kirk is murdered saying the same thing yesterday in Congress. And just, I mean, this is nuts. She's nuts, all right? And then Byron Donald is not going to have it.

[Rashida Tlaib]

Fascist takeover.

[Tony Kennett]

That's not a bad word. It's a fact.

[Rob Carson]

Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you, Ms. Talib? Is that what I look like to you?

[Tony Kennett]

You're the one taking your.

[Rob Carson]

Is that, Is that what you think? Is that what you think? Is that what you think? No, that's unethical. I think it's radical and I think it's back, back into hell with you say. And I don't respect everything that you say, but to say something, throw the holy water. That to myself and all of my colleagues is way out of line. It's way out of line. It's way out of line.

[Tony Kennett]

Regular order.

[Rob Carson]

That's okay, but it's okay, right?

[Tony Kennett]

That is not how it's okay, right? You hold yourself accountable before you talk about myself accountable.

[Rob Carson]

Hold your own self accountable. How about that? Hold your own. That's your Democrat Party. That's your Democratic Party. Here's, here's Byron Donald's. Afterwards, I think it was important to.

[Byron Donald]

Set the record straight. Congresswoman to leave. Trying to call me and my colleagues fascist. Obviously, in light of, you know, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that's a, it's, it's even more of a sore subject now than it ever has been. And I just find it to be reprehensible. I don't look like somebody who's in the third rank.

[Rob Carson]

None of my colleagues do.

[Byron Donald]

And I think if people want to start talking about being responsible with their rhetoric, they should start with Congresswoman to lead.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, that is a. She is a metaphor for the ugliness that is the Democrat Party soul. I mean, you know, I mentioned about, for instance, after October 7th, they, they forgot about the, the second Holocaust. And the Democrat Party started spewing nonsense about Palestine, Free, Free Palestine and terrifying Jewish students and all that. And, and October 7th uncovered the. The left and, and the hate and all of that. And, and I like to say it uncovered its, Its hindquarters ass, essentially. All right? And that's what happened. And Charlie Kirk's murder really has once again exposed their flanks so we can kick their ass. It is remarkable, and I'm grateful for their reaction that they are showing us how awful they are. Dear God. This is last night of the Buffalo Bills game. A big, big, unabashed and unashamed tribute to Charlie Kirk. And the crowd loved. There is a great spiritual revival happening. And I, Again, I, I don't like televangelists. I, I don't like to be evangelized. I feel uncomfortable, comfortable sometimes when people Bible bang and rub it in my face. I don't like it. I've been through it before. I'm not, I'm not hypnotized by, you know, televangelist. What's his name? I don't know. I can't remember the. Remember Joel Osteen? I think he's, you know, I'm serious. You're driving your Ferrari and you're gonna tell me, you know, about living for Jesus, and honestly, I have no time before it. But there is something happening, and the Democrat Party is on the wrong side of it. The Democrat Party is on the wrong side of it bit. They're the ones who immediately started calling Donald Trump a fascist after they tried to murder him. And he held his hand to the sky and said, fight, fight, fight. And, and they immediately. Now, literally a week later, after Charlie, Charlie Kirk was murdered, they are upping the temperature after saying they wanted to bring it down. They are really. I mean, I don't even know what to say. They are in a state that I've never seen. And they are, they're, they're, they're disappearing into the dustbin of history. And Donald Trump's popularity is up 7 points. What else do you need to know? Get on the right side of history or fade into it. There you go.

[Tony Kennett]

And I think it's really important.

[Rashida Tlaib]

We need to stand up against this fascist takeover.

[Tony Kennett]

That's not a bad word. It's a fact.

[Rob Carson]

Do I look like a member of the Third Reich to you? Ms. Talib, please. Is that what I look like to you?

[Tony Kennett]

You're the one taking your.

[Rob Carson]

Is that, is that what you think? Is that what you think? Is that what you think? I think it's radical and I think it's insane to say something like that to myself. A lot of my colleagues is way out of line. It's way out of line. Wow. Wow. I got to tell you, that is Rashida Tlip going off the deep end, off the rails. Going off the rails, on the crazy train. Yester last week, the Democrats wanted to bring down the temperature after the murder of Charlie Kirk. And yesterday they doubled down it just like after Donald Trump, who's nearly assassinated. I mean, I swear to God, it's just, it's nuts. It's nuts. Tony Kennett, Daily Signal One of our favorite guests, good friend of this here radio program and mine, thank you very much. Joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How you doing, brother?

[Tony Kennett]

I am doing better, thank you for asking. Long week.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Tony Kennett]

And I tell you what, though, though I have never been more optimistic, though, about this country than I am now, which is a weird thing to say.

[Rob Carson]

No, it's not. No, it's not, brother. Last week, you know, Charlie was murdered. I didn't get to talk to you last week because I took Friday off, right? So Charlie was murdered. And I mean, we were all just crestfallen when I heard news on the radio. I prayed on the air with my guest. We both prayed the last half hour of the show. That's all we did, did and, and we prayed and we hoped against hope that he would survive. And then 9, 11 happened. Then Friday I was invited to Philadelphia for a celebration of the acknowledgment of the Day of the Bible in Independence hall, the annex to Independence hall. There were 86 people there, the same number of people in the assembly. And I'm going to tell you, brother, I felt it. I felt it. And I've been to revivals and I've done the call to prayer and I have had people laid hands on and I get my head in the water at the Baptist church and I've gone to the Catholic Church. But something's happening, brother. Something is happen happening in this world. It's a turn toward God and freedom. It's happening worldwide. And the murder of Charlie Kirk just put it into light speed.

[Tony Kennett]

And I'll say this, the crew that Trump has maneuvered into making complete fools out of themselves. I gotta say, this whole business between them sprinting to cover for Antifa, which, thank God, is now labeled a terror organization, that is the biggest change in this country in 50 years. And the good one. And then of course, like you've had playing Rashida Tlaib, there's a show that I watched growing up called the Wild Thornberry. He's a cartoon. And there was this crazy little kid that they had adopted who didn't speak any. He just basically just spoke like the Tasmanian Devil. All right. And that was Rashida Tlaib. In the halls of Congress, every time they air that, an angel gets its wings. That's how hilarious that strategy is working out.

[Rob Carson]

It is. And did you see Rasmussen? Trump is up 7 points. Trump is up 7 points despite all this. And I said this earlier, Tony, I said the loudest voices are not the ones being heard. I know that sounds weird, but the loudest voices of the Democrat Party right now are not resonating. People are rejecting it. They are trying to yell even louder to be heard. They know they're not being heard. They know they're fighting against. And now they're just fighting against good. And now they're just on the wrong side, brother. They are. I said that they die like movie vampires, dragging, trying to drag us into hell with them. We're not going. We're not going with them.

[Tony Kennett]

I know you love analogies. And so here's one last one, just a little. I had a professor in college who used to tell us that it's the most empty semi truck rolling down the highway that makes the most noise. Fully loaded trucks, they don't make any noise, but the most empty, rickety old trucks, they make the most noise as they're falling apart down the highway. And that is the Democrat Party right now.

[Rob Carson]

And I'm going to tell you that just a couple of things. We had Trump saying that Antifa is going to be declared terrorist, which means that law enforcement can officially kick their asses. Yay. I saw a delightful video in front of an ICE facility with all these Antiva types and whatnot gathered in front. And one of the guys attacked the ICE officer and the ICE over waylaid him. And then they Took out the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets. Yay. It always makes me so happy. And then did you hear the other thing? Donald Trump says he's going to open Bagram.

[Tony Kennett]

Oh. Oh, man. Tell you what. If they sent National Guard to Oregon and to Portland, I tell you what, it's enough to make me switch my contract and hop into the Guard and step over to Portland. I want a piece of that, man.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I'm just so tired of these punk asses wearing the masks on their faces. And I've been saying we can't even grab their masks and pull it down to reveal them because you'll get sued, right? And we know that in Antiva they're getting paid. We know that George Soros is a part of it. We know, we know that usaid, we know that the usa, the CIA wing of usaid, has been funding these people not only abroad, but also here. And by naming them, this, this is like coming in off the top rope with a folding chair after having to watch this bullcrap for five years.

[Tony Kennett]

And now we're seeing Soros, now we're seeing the Ford foundation, now we're seeing all these other foundations put in the crosshairs. And all you hear from the media enterprises is, well, you know this is really going to hurt your tainted in the next election, don't you? And the only thing I can ask is no. What. What is your source? Show me where Americans don't want the Soros and Ford foundations investigated, please.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I gotta tell you, here's a little montage of Democrat reaction to Jimmy Kimmel losing his job because he's destroyed the Tonight show. It's down 76% in the ratings. And then also he broke a major FCC rule which was the straw in the camel's back.

[Tony Kennett]

Even though we're talking about comedy. This is so serious, Aaron. America is a less free place. Place if late night comedians cannot do and say what they want. This is just the latest chapter in.

[Rob Carson]

Donald Trump's ongoing campaign. Donald Trump didn't do it to crack down on free speech, dominate the media.

[Tony Kennett]

And essentially render the First Amendment meaningless.

[Rob Carson]

The suppression of Democratic Party speech is coming next.

[Tony Kennett]

That is a message to every other broadcaster on every other medium in this country that if you say something the leader doesn't like, you're probably at risk of getting axed.

[Rob Carson]

You know, Donald Trump didn't say anything about it. ABC affiliates decided not to air his show. Plus, he also FCC rules broadcast by a station according to regulations, the broadcast of biostation of false information concerning crime or catastrophe violates the FCC rules. The station's licensee knew that the information was false. Broadcasting the false information directly causes substantial public harm and it was foreseeable that broadcasting the false information would cause a charm. When he said that the murder the murderer of Charlie Kirk was a MAGA supporter. That's, that's the official legal explanation. But it's also the fact that he's destroyed late 90s, has no audience and he was destroying the franchise ability to the franchisees ability to make money and get ratings.

[Tony Kennett]

So I've also by the way, I've heard from the inside of nexstar from individuals who are rich to remain kind of on background as well as individuals inside of Synchronization, Claire and other kind of affiliates that do all the syndication because again you and I have to play by FCC rules. We're on the radio, we know the rules. This wasn't even an FCC thing. And, and this has been clarified before. We clarified this on the show last night because media accountability is a huge part of what we do.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Tony Kennett]

And well, they were already talking about pulling Kimmel for at least a two week suspension before Carr even said a word on Benny Johnson show. So the timeline doesn't even fit. Kimmel got up in front of the country and said I'm gonna be gross. And then before he got in front of the country and said and you know what? I hope more of those MAGA people get in that sort of a situation. Which according to the records of the New York Post is what he was planning to do.

[Rob Carson]

Oh yeah.

[Tony Kennett]

Star said we gotta get him off the air before we have no more money. And they pulled the plug and they.

[Rob Carson]

Were looking for, the left was looking for an ability to attack Donald Trump as an, and as a, as a Nazi and a fascist. They, they put a hold after Charlie Kirk murder last week. They talked about bringing down the temperature and they actually brought it up even further this week because of this. I gotta tell you, I've never seen anything like it. Tony, can you hold on? I've got much more I want to get to you on the other side of the break. Let's take a break and come back. This my friends, is the Rob Carson show.

[Tony Kennett]

But you and neither they think that just because you have a Tonight show that you must deal in serious issues. Issues. That's a danger. It's a real danger. Once you start that you start to get that self important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know, strangely enough you could use that show as A forum you could sway people and I don't think you should.

[Rob Carson]

I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from things, you know, the.

[Tony Kennett]

Pressures of life, wherever it might be.

[Rob Carson]

And I love political humor, don't get me wrong. But it's just what happens with people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other. Why shoot for just half an audience all that time? You know, why not try to get the whole. I mean I like to bring people into the big picture. I don't understand why you would stay in your lane. That's what Johnny Carson and Jay Leno said. Stay in your lane. I know this because I've done entertainment radio and I've done political radio. Stay in your lane. Jimmy Kimmel decided to and Stephen Colbert decided to exercise complete editorial control over their show and they took it in a decidedly left word direction and they ruined the legacy of the show and they shut off half of the audience and they ruined it. Tony Kennett of the Daily Single, what do you think about that?

[Tony Kennett]

I say I really don't care for all of the whining and muling from people who get less viewers a week than my show in Indiana. How about that?

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know. Listen, my stream, the stream I'm not talking about the one that when I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm talking about the one I do every. I don't have that problem yet. I'm not like Joe Biden. I don't have an interrupted stream. My stream is from noon to three every day and it's gigantic and it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And honestly Jimmy Kimmel was down at about 2 million viewers a night. Johnny Carson in his heyday was 26, 28 million. And Jimmy Kimmel thought he just got very self important and he and they both decided that they would just own the show. When you do that, you know it's not going to end well for you.

[Tony Kennett]

And by the way, people like to say this is a thing just about Jimmy Kimmel. I want to make this clear for kind of the whole audience exactly to your point with the same people who did it well and then became awful. Whose line is it anyway? Colin Mochrie Ryan Styles in the early aughts with Drew Carey the show was fantastic because people laughed and they picked fun politically. Occasionally they'd make fun of Bill Clinton or George Bush and we had a good time. And then now if you watch Whose line now? Now I feel horrible for your soul. I'VE tried watching it and there's far more Clapter like oh, you are brave. Whenever whatever the chick is hosting it now make a joke about politics. It feels like you're being spoon fed castor oil, but without the dietary benefits.

[Rob Carson]

I know it is. It's ridiculous. It really is ridiculous. Let's move on. I want to, I want to mention Jasmine Cragga. Jackass Crockett. You know, I'm gonna call her.

[Tony Kennett]

You did that on purpose, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

Jasmine Crockett, she said one of the. Now this is, this is actually what I consider to be a. A gift from God. This line is a gift from God and she delivered it yesterday.

[Rashida Tlaib]

I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, I'm just going to tee that up for you. Go right ahead.

[Tony Kennett]

Americans. I want you listening to Rob Carson show. I want you to know he does this on purpose. Jasmine Cross saying the stupidest crap on earth on purpose. Crime doesn't make you a criminal. Ah, yes, those first four letters of the word criminal, those are just there for window dressing. Woman makes the most illiterate individual in the bummest place on earth look like a multi university professor before they all went woke. My goodness.

[Rob Carson]

She. Hold on. My, my. Lee Kinberg, he's the, the director of Newsmax Radio. He said that Rashida Tlaib is a raging lunatic, but jazzy makes AOC look like Mary Curie.

[Tony Kennett]

Oh my gosh. Jasmine Crockett is the kind of lady that I don't want in Congress, but I need to be in Congress. Do you catch me, brother?

[Rob Carson]

Yes. Now, what about Rashida Taliban, by the way? I'm gonna start calling her. No, Ilhan Omer. I'm talking Ilhan Omer. I'm gonna start calling her mental mentally. Ilhan Omar. Because yesterday she'd been going off.

[Tony Kennett]

On.

[Rob Carson]

Charlie Kirk and saying these unbelievable things. Donald Trump is saying she needs to be removed from Congress. I think she's a. I don't think she should be in Congress. You're there to represent your constituents, which by the way are decidedly left to Minneapolis. But you're also there to support the Constitution and be a supporter of the United States as founded. She is a danger. And then when she says these things that are satanic about Charlie Kirk, I think it makes her more removable. What do you think?

[Tony Kennett]

I gotta tell you, I actually understand. I don't agree with, but I understand why Ilhan Omar would despise Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk was a Christian, which means that by a rule, he denounces incest. So I get why Ilhan Omar might have a bit of an issue with that personally. But, you know, I'm sorry. Letting. Letting brothers be brothers, bygones be bygones here. Ilhan Omar is, again, one of these people who proves Republican narratives about those who hate America sitting in power. True. Just like when Republicans say Jasmine Crockett or aoc, I need these people around because no matter when there are some of our colleagues who say things that are what some might say a little over the line, maybe a political liability, these people in Congress means that they are never proven wrong. I never have to take, you know, a time to say, well, maybe my colleague shouldn't have said this, because then Jasmine Crockett gets out there and speaks, or Ilhan Omar gets out there and speaks, and it's proven true instantly.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah. Now, Tony, we got to wrap things up here, but, you know, this weekend is a big weekend. I think a lot of people are going back to church. I'm going back to church. I hate to say it. For the first time since my mother died, I went to church with her. Midnight mass. She dropped the communion host. I knew she was going to go. As we go into this, this weekend of remembrance, can you just tell me your thoughts and what you hope?

[Tony Kennett]

I'm going to be at my church. If you're in eastern central Indiana, you shoot me a message on X or social media. THETONUS T H E T O N U S I'd love to see you there. Don't care where you are. We have enough room for you. And that all said, I hope that each and every one of you takes some time this weekend to reflect. Reflect to spend time with God. I. I would hope that would be in a church of the congregation with fellow believers praying as well. But at the very least, I hope you pick up the good book, Pick up the Bible and read it. It's written for you.

[Rob Carson]

Amen, brother. I'm gonna tell you something. We didn't just meet accidentally. At this time in history, great things are happening. There is a rebirth of freedom and faith and it's going to sweep the world, my friend. God bless you and your family, bro. Always good to have you. Where can people find your awesome show?

[Tony Kennett]

You just go to YouTube.com yes, search Daily Signal. You'll find me, my friend.

[Rob Carson]

All right, buddy. Take care. We'll talk. Let's take a break and come back. This is The Rob Carson Show.

[Byron Donald]

We're now approaching the first week of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And the left has put out, I would call them a series of lies or untruths that are trying to confuse the American people about what happened on that Utah campus. Number one, they say this is the conservatives George Floyd moment. It is not a George Floyd moment. After the death of George FLOYD Antifa and BLM led five months violent protests. 35 people killed, 1500 police officers injured. Historic church torch Police precinct torched Federal Courthouse torch. $2 billion of property damage, arson, looting, violence. Charlie Crook was not anything like George Floyd. There was nothing at all similar. And they say this was a right on right viol because Mr. Robinson the assassin came from a Mormon family and even his trans boyfriend girlfriend that he lived with, he too, she too was a Mormon. That's about as close as you can honestly.

[Rob Carson]

Democrat party liberal left to hell with you. I mean literally just crawl into hell because that's where you're going. And I think people are tired of it. You know one of the things they did this week on the television they tried to romanticize the murderer of Charlie Kirk. There was a guy named Matt Guy Gutman. He ended up having to be to do an apology. Jim Gossett did something fun with that. Here it is on the Rob Carson show.

[Tony Kennett]

It was very touching in a way.

[Rob Carson]

That I think many of us didn't expect. We will remember that day in September.

[Tony Kennett]

When Matt Gutman called a killer touching.

[Rob Carson]

When Matt was admonished he acted astonished as his pearls Matt was clutching he should be fired.

[Tony Kennett]

His ousters desired apology Matt gave us.

[Rob Carson]

Was oh so hollow.

[Tony Kennett]

The message message we're sending is Matt's career ending.

[Rob Carson]

Nice should follow. There you go. Follow Jim Gossett follow. You know history is filled with stories of people being martyred, people doing good and having throw stones thrown at them and and the the mob of evil people throwing casting st attempting to kill them and even succeeding. And what happens is the movement becomes bigger and those who cast the stones are relegated to the dustbin of history. That's what's happening with the Democrat party right now. That's what's happening with the media. That's what's happening with Jimmy Kimmel. It is a glorious time to be alive. This show only gets better next hour. If I were you, I wouldn't go anywhere.

[Tony Kennett]

Did you see the game last night? Of course you did. Because you used Instacart to do your grocery restock. Plus you got snacks for the game all without missing a single play, and that's on multitasking. So we're not saying that Instacart is a hack for game day, but it might be the ultimate play this football season. Enjoy. $0 delivery fees on your first three orders.
