Hold it now. You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson Show. As I return a text. I had to talk to Doug Burns because, you know, we want to get him on the show tomorrow. I wanted to get him on today to talk about all these Supreme Court decisions that are coming down. But you know, he's super busy, knee deep in it all, as it were. And there are many things coming out. Birthright, citizenship, among others. Also. Also whether or not you ought to be able to count votes days after the elections and steal them like Democrats. Do you say that out loud? Oh, hell yeah, I said that out loud. Dear God. I mean, it should be fairly obvious. It is fairly obvious that the Democrat Party cannot win elections with the issues. That's why they don't have any issues. I mean, they got plenty of issues. Don't give me mental issues. All sorts of mental health issues, obviously. Obviously. But they have no platform, they have no positivity, they have no love for America. Among other things. They're insane. They are absolutely insane. They allowed the southern border to be open for four years. They allowed a virus that we paid for to spread across the country and kill millions of people and cause trillions of dollars in damage, destroy the athletic careers and the academic careers of our k and cause our elderly relatives to die alone. Other than that, I mean, the Democrat party is fantastic. They're great. No, the Democrat Party is a force of darkness and they are only getting darker. We are discovering also that the Democrat Party is a massive criminal crime family, the largest in world history. We know that as Joe Biden left office he shoveled $60 billion out the door to his cronies, his green energy cronies. People like STACEY Abra got $2 billion, made her into a billionaire and she was doing this little, this faux NGO charity bullcrap thing where she said that she was replacing gas appliances with electric appliances and she had $100 in her account and Joe Biden sent her $2 billion. That got nixed, by the way. But we're finding out that there are trillions of dollars in fraud happening all over the country. Medicare and Medicaid are the worst of the worst of the worst. Todd Blanch announced today that the Fed hundreds of defendants in recent weeks for attempting to build taxpayer funded programs out of $6.5 billion. Quote from Todd Blanche. This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history. These individuals participated in health care fraud schemes involving over 6.5 thousand million dollars. Just, you know, in case you're kind of a Democrat, you don't know what the hell a billion dollars is. It's 1,000 million. All right, so you take 1,000 boxes that have a million dollars apiece in them. I'm trying to simplify it so Democrats will understand it. You take a thousand boxes that have a million dollars in it and you do 6,500 of those. 6,500 boxes that have a million dollars in them. Does that make sense? Did you get it? Even you Kamala voters, do you understand that? I mean, it is. And what did I tell you? What did I tell you when this was happening? I said we're going to find out one that we love so much, the country we love so much, where we have been suffering. I mean, I just read earlier the price of a home has effectively gone up 54% since 2020. It's unaffordable to buy a house now. Unaffordable? Buy a house? You millennials trying to buy a house. I mean, honestly, it's impossible. And yet you've got these jack weeds who own learning centers in Minneapolis. They're able to buy Lamborghinis, they're able to buy all of the cars. You never even dreamed. You never even dreamed of living the way that they live. When it comes to the fraud that has happened all over the country, they just. I'm going to find the story here. I got all of my. Oh, yeah, here, here you go. Here's a couple more. Here's a couple more. This is what our government, particularly the Democrat Party, has allowed to happen in our country. This while we've been suffering, this while you and I, we don't even think about retirement because 60% of our paycheck goes to local, state, federal government, taxes, fees, etc. We have nothing left over at payday. And the Democrats say that's the fault of billionaires. If I had the ability to not write a quarterly check to the federal government and the state government, I would have enough money to put money away. I might even be able to have a little vacation home. I would have been able to pay cash for my kids education. But right now my son's got $100,000 in student loans.

[Katie McFarlane]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, and then we find out in California they've been bilking the student loan program. You know, did you notice this? The Trump administration has blocked $150 million in fraudulent loans. And you know, they were handing out loans left and right. You know, that the price of college education has gone through the ceiling because they've, they've allowed it to, you know, go through the ceiling. And consequently, students need to borrow an ungodly amount of money, frequently paying off their student loans or even now getting into middle age with still having student loans. And for some reason, Joe Biden decided that he was going to erase a lot of those student loans just out of nowhere, just go ahead and take care of those student loans and get rid of them. Well, here's what I'm saying. My son never got a notice from Joe Biden that his student loans were going to be paid off. Not one damn dime, not a thing, Nothing, nothing, nothing. And I contend that the Biden administration and others allowed wholesale theft using GHOST students. I'm going to share from Andrew Ferguson, who's working with JD Vance, giving millions of dollars to ghost students who are really what I'm contending, just like they've done with every other ngo, basically slush funds for Democrats for reelection. That's why Joe Biden decided he was going to forgive so many of them. Yeah, that's what I think. And you know what? I'll be proven right because I'm right all the time, because I have common sense and live experience. Here's Andrew Ferguson talking about the massive amount of student loan fraud on top of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, on top of leering centers, transport, transportation for elderly relatives, people staying at home just to hang out with their mom getting paid, saying it's somehow home care hospices by the hundreds being closed in California that got millions and millions of dollars were run by the mob, the Russian mob. Gavin Newsom knew about it. And there's no way that people like Tim and Keith Ellison didn't know anything about it. If they did, they're complete morons. Same goes with the idiot Republican governor in the state of Ohio. You cannot see this kind of growth in Medicare spending for leering centers and other nonsense where you've got buildings, office buildings full of hospice care, learning centers, daycare centers in industrial parks where no people are being served. You cannot be in charge of a state and allow the gigantic growth. For instance, in Minnesota, one year they're spending $7 million on autism for kids, right? And then three years later, they're spending $400 million. And the attorney general for the state of Minnesota didn't know that was happening. Same way that same damn thing happened in the state of Ohio, where Somalians, by the way, would go to the airport with a million dollars in a suitcase, send it to Minneapolis, and then they would out of, out of Minneapolis suitcases full of money to Somalia, which were supporting Al Shabaab. I mean, it's so tangled, it's so awful. It's hard to believe, but almost everything that we're spending our tax dollars on is being bilked and stolen and looted by the Democrat party, largely 99% of it by the Democrat Party. There you go. Here is Andrew Ferguson about student loan fraud.

[General Blaine Holt]

We have turned education in this country into a piggy bank for the worst people you can imagine. And the Biden administration did nothing about this? Nothing. For four years, Secretary McMahon has been one of the most important anti fraud warriors in the entire federal government. She's partnered with the task force to shut this down just in the last couple months. They've already blocked $150 million of fraudulent loans from going out the door. They discovered other loans that the Biden administration let out the door to the

[Rob Carson]

tunes of 10 PPP loans. A good share of them. When they went to Democrat friends, NGOs or whatever, business owners who were friendly giving money to the Democrat Party, they just forgot about those loans during COVID Ah, you know, just keep the money.

[General Blaine Holt]

Tens of millions of dollars that we are going to prevent people from ever getting again. And this is why it was so important for President Trump to put the Vice President in charge of this task force. Because we can amass the resources of the whole federal government, including at the Department of Education, using high tech mechanisms to automatically detect fraud.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. It is remarkable. We are more corrupt than the former Soviet Union. And they never even imagined what it would be like to have $7 trillion to steal every single year. But the Democrat Party managed to do it. We're gonna have to see some politicians arrested. We're gonna have to see some politicians go to jail. Well, you and I suffered while these people got rich. Rich, rich. Kevin Newsom and his. His Barbie doll dimwit wife are building an $8 million mansion on a government salary. Yeah. FBI announced capture of a fugitive in Turkey. He stole $3.7 billion in Medicare fraud. Cash Patel. Capture of a man in Turkey. Guy's name is Ibrahim Khaldun Hilmi. Who fled the US in May of 2025, recently detained by Turkish authorities. And the FBI Critical Incident Response Group flew to that country, transported him back here. One of the biggest Medicare scams in history. $3.7 billion. At $3.7 thousand million dollars, Kamala voters. And then there's this. A Chicago native who ran allegedly 1.2 billion. That's 1,1200. I should say $1200 million. Okay. Health care fraud, conspiracy, targeting elderly victims on Medicare was captured in the Philippines, shipped back to the United states, becoming the second suspect nabbed on the FBI's new Most Wanted Fraudsters list. Herbert Leon Kimball, 60 years old, arrested in the Philippines where he had evaded authorities for newly years. Let's hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. For 250 years, Americans have believed in one powerful idea, that we were meant to live free. Free to work hard, free to move, free to enjoy life without being held back.

So you preferred your pronouns to be

they and them, they, them.

[Katie McFarlane]

Okay.

[Rob Carson]

Do you need me to explain how to use that?

[General Blaine Holt]

Nope, because I'm not going to.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. Yeah, man. You can take your pronouns and stick them. All right. I remember when I was living in Kansas side of Kansas City for, you know, about 10 years. I lived there 10 years and my daughter came home one day and said her friend all of a sudden was they, them. And I said, nah, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. She's still a girl. I'm just not gonna, I'm not gonna play. You know what? No pushback. You know why? Because I'm a man. And, and I asserted myself as a father and I said, no, I'm not gonna do that because it's stupid. Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing what happened. Rather than just letting people run you over, just kind of go now, you know what, I'm not gonna play that freaking nonse just because, you know, you throw a temper Tantrum. It's not gonna work. That person. I'll just say her name is Zoe or something. Zoe was Zoe yesterday and a girl. She's still Zoe yesterday and a girl. She's not a boy and she's not a they them. So you know what? Bullcrap. She's gonna be a she her, and you're gonna be Zoe the girl. So if you don't like that, don't freaking come around here anymore. I don't have time to play this nonsense. It was so funny. It was like, dad, she's now a boy and her name is whatever. And her pronouns are they and them. And I said, no, they're not. Not in this house. I won't acknowledge it. But, Dad, I don't care. I'm not gonna play that game. Is she gonna sue me? Go ahead and sue me. Not gonna play that game. And we're all gonna wake up from this idiocy that the Democrat Party put us through to divide us. It's so wonderful. I said for years we were going to come off the top rope, and we're going to bring a folding chair and we're going to end this stupidity. And fortunately, the stupid is being pushed back. They're still trying to revive it using CPR in places like New York City and all of that. I want to mention a couple things. There's a whole bunch of primaries going on around the country. I lived in Maryland for 12 years. I've had several candidates approach me for endorsements. I feel it's foolhardy because I don't live in Maryland, and I don't really think my endorsement means a lot. And it's nothing against. I think. I think you value my opinion. But. No, no, no, no, no. I mean, I endorse President United States absolutely wonder because Kamala Harris was a moron and. And, you know, all of the things that he went through. Hell, yeah. But as far as just an official endorsement, I don't see the value in it to Maryland voters. Nothing against Maryland voters. I love you guys. I love you, WCBM listeners. I'm so bloody heartsick for Maryland. I lived there for a dozen years. I would love to see that damn state turned around. It's run by the Maryland General Asylum. That's what they call it there. They've been calling it forever because these people are just insane. And the only thing that is going to save Maryland is if Republicans get back in office. And I'm hoping maybe we can start to see some things happen. I do want to mention a Couple of people who I know and I would consider, if not acquaintance, friends who are running and I. And I would love to see them get into office. I would love to see Kim Stansbury win for Baltimore County Executive. She's a. She is a very. She is. She is running a shoestring campaign on no budget, hustling, meeting people. She is a mom. She is a wife. She is a patriot. She's getting nothing out of this. She's not getting rich out of it. I went out and hosted a little fundraiser with her, and it was very small, but I think she is a good and decent person who wants the best for her kids, her grandkids, the state of Maryland for county executive in Baltimore. Kim Stansbury is great. So, Kim, if you're listening, God bless. Godspeed. I know a couple people who are running for governor in the state of Maryland. I know John Myrick. He's running for governor in the state of Maryland. I've attended one of his events, a picnic. I also know Dan Cox, who is running for governor. I've known Dan for several years. Either of them would be great choices. Other than Wes Moore, who is the Fresh Prince of Bel Airhead. He's a freaking moron. Lying about his political service. He's a poser. He would rather go out and hang over hangover and hang out in Italy, finally with George Clooney. He is a fake. He is a fraud. He is a phony. He is. The key bridge that collapsed two years ago was hit by a ship. He hired a firm to build that damn bridge. It was going to cost $2 billion. Then it went to $8 billion. And they've literally had to stop it altogether. They have no contractor. Nothing is happening. And that idiot wants to be the governor again. So back to my original thought. Dan Cox, fantastic. Dan Cox would be great. John Myrick would be great. Either one of those guys would be great. Godspeed. Good luck. I wish the absolute best for you. And then I got a buddy who's running for Baltimore City Council, and his name is Tim Fazenbaker. And Tim's a good guy. Tim is a patriot. He's not making any money off this. He just wants Baltimore to stop sucking so much. Baltimore has the second worst schools in America. The second worst schools in America. They have this place called the Inner harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. Used to go there when. When my son Will was small. And we go down there and we go get on the USS Constitution. Was an old, tall ship down there. And you'd walk around there and. And Then there was a Hard Rock Cafe over here, and there was a submarine you could get on. It's more like a U boat. You could get on over there and you could go to one of dozens of restaurants down there. And now it's hell on earth. It's in receivership. It's in receivership. The inner harbor of Baltimore. You can literally look across the harbor and see Fort McHenry where Francis Scott Key looked up the morning after the bombardment from the British and wrote the Star Spangled Banner when he saw that glorious flag. And the Democrats have turned it into an outhouse. The Democrats have turned it into an outhouse. And it's a damn shame because I love me some ballmer. I've always loved balmer. I've always loved the culture of Baltimore. I love the grittiness of the people. I love the ethnicity of the neighborhoods. I love me some Baltimore. And it's a damn shame. That idiot Democrats have driven that city into the crapper. And the morons at the State General Asylum continue to do the same. So if you're out voting and you're a Republican in the state of Maryland, by God, get your butt out there and vote. And even if you're a Democrat who's sick and tired of the nonsense and the bs, like where I used to live in Montgomery county, where Ms. 13 is now in the schools where you've got trans nonsense being taught, even if you're a decent and I don't know how many there are in Montgomery County Democrat, maybe you might consider voting for a Republican for a change, to turn your state around. Because right now I think it's number six for outbound migration. People are leaving Maryland. Nothing is getting done, and it is descending into the pits of hell. Frederick, Maryland used to be this little showpiece. It's crap now. The main drag is terrible. Montgomery county is terrible. Baltimore is terrible. Annapolis. The streets are crumbling. That's your Democrat Party. Maybe it's time you did something about it. Democrats in Maryland are the frogs in the boiling water. You don't have to boil with them. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Katie McFarlane]

Terrific. Just take a step back. What have we gotten? Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons. The strait is going to be reopened. We're going to have a terrific prices for oil and natural gas and, and gasoline at the pumps. Our economy is going to soar. And, and we've at the same time done something that no American president had the guts to do, which is to stop Iran's nuclear program. And we have the ability to verify it and we have the ability to enforce it if they cheat, which we know they'll cheat. But we, you know, the sanctions regime is kept in play. We could turn that on in five minutes. The military is still there. The armada is there. We could reach resume military operations in an hour. So I think we've got the best of all worlds. And as we walk out of it, we have a changed Middle east because we now have the Gulf Arabs in alliance with the United States and Israel.

[Rob Carson]

Now, last week there were people just up in arms over this memorandum of understanding. I mean, heads were on fire. Last week. It was nuts. And then, you know, Friday we heard some things. We heard that Trump was no longer going to Camp David. We heard that the Iranian president is like, we're going to continue enriching uranium, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, will you just blow these mother bleepers off the face of the planet? And in this nonsense, last night, I'm watching Newsmax, I see General Blaine Holt, I see this guy, Khosrow Isfahani, who last week they were on. I mean, they were butting heads like rams on the side of a mountain.

[General Blaine Holt]

Mountain.

[Rob Carson]

And completely on the opposite side. And then all of a sudden last night, this guy, Khosrow Isfahani was talking like this before. I'll let you explain. Hold a second. Listen to this. I have absolute faith in the Iranian

[General Blaine Holt]

people, their determination for liberation. And I have absolute faith in our

[Rob Carson]

brothers and sisters in idf. And I have absolute faith in the brave men and women who fight in

[General Blaine Holt]

the U.S. army and in the intelligence services of this country.

[Rob Carson]

The Islamic Republic will strike again, and we will fight them to the last, last drop of our blood.

[General Blaine Holt]

We are not going to be defeated.

[Rob Carson]

Defeat for us is death of our civilization. We are going to fight back. We are going to take Iran back. So I guess what I want to ask. Hell of an intro. Brigadier General Blaine Holt, the host of a glorious podcast, Dangerous Intellectuals. What's happened.

[General Blaine Holt]

Well, it looks like is Bonnie Isfahan has joined the Blaine Holt Cool Kids Club because after all the consternation of which I'm in the Katie McFarlane Cool Kids Club at all times, it happened since 2009. But the, the consternation over the weekend was nothing but propaganda noise, rocking all end of the world. And, you know, even last week, you and I talked and it was like, this is fine. This is what fine looks like. We're fighting on five different fronts and we're winning.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. I remember, dude, it was. It was overwhelming last week. And listen, I have some very dear friends who I respect. A great Brigitte Gabriel on the show, Matthew Farachi. Both of them were just so. And nothing against them. Nothing is. Listen, I understand. I understand because we've had how many presidents in 47 years just drop the ball and watch these SOBs, you know, grow their nuclear program or whatever? And I said, donald Trump is not that president. And, and now I guess by watching Last Night with KT, watching Chuck DeVore, watching, you know, you, I'm like, okay, all right. Well, you know, that's. You got to trust this guy. You got to trust this guy in the White House.

[General Blaine Holt]

You got to take a step back and you have to look at how the variables in the equation have been changed Courtesy of the U.S. military, courtesy of the Treasury Department and Scott Bessant mopping up the globalist money laundering schemes. And this starts with the war on the cartels, kids. It doesn't start in the Middle East. And so Iran's cornered there without a military. They got two ayatollahs left and a dog named Rex. They've got five missiles in the lockers. They've got an IRGC that's phoning it into Hezbollah. And they've got three civilians who don't know what to say because they're worried about catching some bullets from the last of the martyrs. And here's the 90 million Iranians who are like, you know, it's our country. We want it back. And this is how many variables have changed that are different from when Obama was shoveling cash into business jets and sending it to them so they could stand up Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. And so those folks who were like, oh, no, well, look, we're doing it again. It's like, you're not doing anything again. We're mopping up the table. You could call it an mou. I call it Terms of Surrender. And that's what happened here. America had a complete victory in all

[Rob Carson]

spheres Here is Katie McFarlane talking about the money train?

[Katie McFarlane]

No, because of the way they're opening the money. So we're going to be able to watch where the money goes, cleverly, because we're now letting them sell and buy in dollars. Those go through American banks. We can see where the money goes, how much money they're getting. Before with the Shadow fleet, it was a black hole. We didn't know where the money was going. So if they say, oh, we're going to use our money to rebuild hospitals, but in fact, they're going to use their money to send a Hezbollah and rebuild missiles, we'll see where that money goes. And then what do we do? We can shut down that whole money train just as quickly as we turned it on. But Trump, one thing we've learned about Donald Trump is that, you know, you don't play him for a fool. If they turn, try to cheat, if they try to be tricky on him, if they play him along, he's going to have no hesitation to go right back in and resume military operations.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. It's, you can understand why, General Holt, why it's hard for us to trust, you know, and I see, I trust Donald Trump. I do. But there has been so much freaking bullcrap perpetrated by the United States with Iran that has allowed them to become this, this terrorism global superpower.

[Katie McFarlane]

Oh, yeah.

[General Blaine Holt]

Well, let's, let's review the history. Western intelligence services put the first Shah in, and then when he wasn't playing ball with British Petroleum, he put the Ayatollah in. And so it's been a rigged Lloyd's of London. The globalists, the financialists, the city of London have been playing both sides of all wars forever. And this is the real kingpin adversary. And President Trump knows that. And Scott Besant, you know, a lot of people over the weekend, their eyeballs are Bleeding going, oh, $300 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars. Iran. Oh, no, fine print. Come on, kids. It's Sabic and Mubadala, the sovereign wealth funds of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Well, they'll invest in infrastructure projects, expecting a return on their money.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[General Blaine Holt]

That doesn't mean grift and graft. It means we're now enmeshed with your economy. So good behavior is going to have to reign through. Isn't that the whole basis of the Abraham Accords? And isn't that very different than what we've done?

[Rob Carson]

And also, let's look at the amount of money that Donald Trump was able to get from that region. Was it a Cutter that he got, like, trillions of dollars. And there are other countries over there that are investing. Saudi Arabia investing trillions of dollars in America. Do you think they want to. Come on, man. I mean, this is about investing. This is about doing the Marshall Plan for Iran but expecting a little bit money in return.

[General Blaine Holt]

Oh, no. We're making money on this. And the UAE quit opec. Are you kidding me? This means that the globalists have lost their biggest moneymaker and the cartels have dried up their laundering as well. Look at what's happening from Colombia all the way to Tehran. It is on shift in the global world order. Hell, we even got an Air Force One out of the deal grab.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[General Blaine Holt]

I mean, this is. We're doing fine.

[Rob Carson]

Have you seen that Air Force One? That thing is so bad. Oh, man, I want to go on that. I want to go on that one, man. That thing is. And they got it turned around. Dude, dude. How long has it taken the defense contractors to build the other two Air Force ones? Aren't they still being built? And they're like. They're like Barack Obama's library over budget.

[General Blaine Holt]

Do you know what that Jeff says? It's a visual representation of the words I'm the boss.

[Rob Carson]

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. All right, we're going to continue with the general Blaine. Hold on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. Hey, guys, it's Rob Carson for Ghostbed. I love my Ghostbed. Do you really want another summer like last summer? Barely sleeping because you are too hot all night?

[Chuck DeVore]

Who has ever applied the military Force to create the conditions for successful negotiations like President Trump has. Jesse, when I was a 25 year old Reagan appointee in the Pentagon, this is 39 years ago, I was part of a war game that looked into what we would do to open the strait. When we started to escort Kuwaiti tankers, this was in the middle of the Iran Iraq war. They were shooting at tankers, both countries were. And I was part of a team that had a more robust response. The other team was State Department led and they had this tit for tat proportional response. At the end of this simulation, Jesse, Our team had 1/30 the casualties of the State Department team. Well, Reagan used our plan and that's what turned into Operation praying mantis in 1988. Now to put that into perspective, what Trump did to Iran, Iran was about 300 times the force that Reagan applied. At the end of the day, Praying Manus led to an end to the Iran Iraq war and an end to the tanker war. So I think that President Trump is really on the right path.

[Rob Carson]

Now. That is Chuck Devore talking about what Donald Trump did to Iran versus Reagan. Yeah, there's no comparison. Donald Trump took a hammer to them, destroyed their military industrial complex. General Blaine Holt, the host of Dangerous Intellectuals podcast. Yeah. What do you think about those comments, Ben?

[General Blaine Holt]

Well, I think that after every bombing, what we should be doing is dropping leaflets with surveys saying, how was my bombing? Was it horrific, devastating, apocalyptic, Mildly irritating. And mildly irritating would be what he is talking about. What President Trump brought was the heat. It was decisive and it starts at the top. And here's the big difference. He told the generals, these are your objectives. Go get it done. He didn't have targeting in the war room. He didn't let little Ivy Leaguers come in and play general with plastic soldiers. He just said to the professionals, these are my objectives, go handle that.

[Rob Carson]

You know, and that's what I said originally. You know, when they were talking about the amount of time it would be needed to get it done, it wasn't Donald Trump giving them a timeline. It was them saying, here, here's how long it's going to take and if I'm taken, you know, they originally said six weeks. That's how long we bombed them with a little kick in the teeth last weekend. Go ahead.

[General Blaine Holt]

And we were told all about our American logistics problems. You had former CIA officers coming out and saying, we're out of bullets. This is why we're now in, in a pinch and we've over and it's and all of this dribble. And you know, when I hear that dribble, that's all I need to know, that we're winning like hell. That we're absolutely at victory's door because there are more people in our nation wedded on the President's failure in advance of the midterms than they're even thinking about the benefit to their grandkids never growing up in a world of Armageddon bound psychopaths.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. Here's Chuck Devore with the difference with Donald Trump. Credibility and firepower.

[Chuck DeVore]

President Trump has developed credibility through the amazing efforts of Operation and Epic Fury. So, number one, he has the credibility. Number two, all that firepower is still in the region. So you have a president who has shown that he's willing to use it and that firepower. Jesse, hasn't gone anywhere.

[Rob Carson]

Now, what about the next step for who leads this country? Because, you know, my dream, and with so many who've lived our entire adult lives praying that the people of Iran will be free, praying that a generation of young women will be able to show their hair without being murdered,

[General Blaine Holt]

how

[Rob Carson]

do you see that being ushered in? How do you see that change being ushered in? How do you see the IRCG driven away, the Ayatollah never returning to power?

[General Blaine Holt]

Yeah, so we're gonna have a little turbulence to get to that place. The turbulence will be the irgc. They're gonna step into this thing that they call martyrdom. But martyrs have this nasty habit of leaving behind devastation. We have to watch here, our domestic security for internal threats from four years of open borders. But we also. And then we'll manage this and get to a place where there's an interim government, it's going to look like a Venezuela model at first, I believe. And what you are going to see is after the food and water concerns which are being addressed right now are taken care of for the Iranian people, you're going to see a very grateful, liberated people come into the world commons, full of education, full of engineering inspiration, ideas, and they're going to join us in there. The world will be a better place for having an Iran and a Persia in it. I hope they rename the country to Persia. Quite honest.

[Rob Carson]

So do I. Do I'm gonna tell you, there is so much innovation coming from that region that has been quelled and destroyed by the monsters, the 7th century Neanderthals that have been in charge over there and just ruined everything. I mean, you have forgotten. Listen, they erased. Everybody's talking about Donald Trump's gonna erase the culture. The culture was erased. The culture was erased by the Ayatollah. When was the last time that you celebrated Persian culture? When did you notice the architecture and the genius of the Persian people? Even 2,000 years ago, it was erased by the IA to.

[General Blaine Holt]

These are the guys that just blew away 45,000 of their people because they had some dissent. It's really. It's. Look, this is a very small part of their population, the Shia Islam radicals. That's 7% of their entire population. This has been a police state under the thumb and involved in the international weapons trade, cartels, blowing up American soldiers, drugs, and now they're leaving the planet. And guess who gets credit for that. And you may not like it, but that's the way it is.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Yeah. Before we go tell everybody about your glorious podcast, Dangerous intellectuals@dangerous intellectuals.com.

[General Blaine Holt]

oh, man, did we have a great episode yesterday. Nick Cook was with me and we had a discussion about technologies that have been suppressed and kept out of our hands for varying motivations. But we're talking about zero point energy, anti gravitic propulsion, things that are going to create a whole world of abundance going forward.

[Rob Carson]

So I could have one of those Back to the Future cars that flies in the.

[General Blaine Holt]

No, that would be. That would be like a Model T compared to what you're gonna get.

[Rob Carson]

Really?

[General Blaine Holt]

And I hope you enjoy not paying any power bills, because that's coming too, dude.

[Rob Carson]

All right, Dangerous Intellectuals Dot com. I'm going to tell you, Blaine, I really value your opinion on this radio program. And through all of the nonsense and all of the caterwauling and all of the screeching and all of the bull crap out there, I know that we get somebody with you has experience and common sense and a level head, and we appreciate you very much for that. I want to tell you that.

[General Blaine Holt]

Always grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for your kind words.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. I have decided autonomously since it is Pride Month, and because where I live, they have rainbow sidewalks, because I guess that's important to gay people. Or actually, no, it's not. It's just stupid and pandering and no adult would actually like that. But I'm going to go ahead and just say that the. The Strait of Hormuz now is the gay of Hormuz. Just during this month, it's the gay of Hormuz. And let's just say the traffic is starting to fill up. There you go. It's gonna be the Gay of horror, Moose. From now on during the Pride Month. Because that's important, you know?

[Chuck DeVore]

That's important.

[Rob Carson]

It's raining, man. Hallelujah, it's raining. Oh, by the way, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred has confirmed players will not be fined for penal. Or penalized. Little joke there. Penalized for wearing Bible verses on their uniforms during Pride Night events. We all know that some players, landon Roop and J.T. brubaker and Ryan Walk, thought wearing those caps were kind of stupid. Because they are. The writing on the cap violates our rules. Consistent with normal practice. Like, normal practice is wearing a gay hat. We have warned the players about future violations. That was according to Pat Courtney, the MLB Chief communications officer. Now they've actually decided, you know, maybe not so much. The players were not fine or disciplined, nor will they ever be. However, they don't mind a little discipline every once in a while, you know, if you know what I mean? A little discipline. A little. Oh, you've been a bad boy. No, none of that. Thank you very much. Here's Jim Gossett. June is busting out all over It's

[General Blaine Holt]

And I think most adult gay people think it's kind of dumb, too, honestly. I mean, you're. You're, you know, own a business. You're like, oh, yeah, the gay sidewalk. It's so important.
