Transcript

[Rob Carson]

It's a historically hideous season.

[News Anchor]

It's our 100th ugly house.

[Political Commentator]

And if these walls could talk.

[Rob Carson]

Do you cry a lot?

[Political Commentator]

I do. Ugliest house in America. Season premiere Wednesday at 8 on HGTV.

[Rob Carson]

Hold it now. You are about to hear the most.

[Newt Gingrich]

Interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the world wide we. This is the Rob Carson show.

[Rob Carson]

I'm proud of the way we treat our neighbors. I'm proud of the way that we welcome people to this state. I'm proud of the way that we innovate and I'm proud.

[Political Commentator]

You are proud of your support of the Chinese communist party out of the.

[Rob Carson]

Way that we are optimist.

[Political Commentator]

You are proud of the stolen valor and the lies about your service for the future.

[Rob Carson]

No one's taking this away from us. Not the fraudsters. Certainly not this president. Not on my watch. Tomorrow I'll be back with you. I'll give you an update on America.

[Political Commentator]

You're going to be resigning from the governorship.

[Rob Carson]

America's best paid family medical leave program. That is now.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah. Which is completely fraudulent.

[Rob Carson]

Week into it and at that time I'll take all your questions. Thank you all.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah. And he beats a hate city retreat with no questions. Oh, you are in deep doo doo there. Elmer Fudd. He does kind of look like Elmer Fudd except for Elmer Fudd was a good and decent person. He's not so much. Tim Wurtz is not going to run for. This is the beginning of the end for Tim Wirtz. It's over. Tim waltz is done. And it kind of makes you wonder because I think the democrat party did not have a fail safe maneuver had Donald Trump won. They thought that they'd be able to take him out legally. They thought they'd be able to jail him. They thought they'd be able to put, you know, to bankrupt them. They thought they'd be able to take him off the ballot. So all of 2024 they kind of expected that Kamala Harris was gonna win. Even when she was announced as the candidate, nobody voted for her. They were convinced that she was gonna do it. I mean, I laughed when she became the candidate and I knew she was gon but they were not ready for this. And I'm wondering, you got to kind of wonder if the reason why they chose Tim votes was because he was so corrupt that they could continue what the democrat party and the deep state has done. Now we are learning in states across the country, you gotta wonder. They needed somebody compliant, somebody who would go along to get along. Somebody who would enrich themselves while Democrats NGOs. All of these people enriched illegals to vote for them and then ENRICH these, these NGOs, enriched big pharma, enriched all of these people who have been looting our treasury and then ultimately gave money to the Democrat Party. That's what they did. What you're witnessing today is historic. 2000 federal agents deploying to Minneapolis in an immigration crackdown and fraud pro. Oh my goodness. The Trump administration has begun a massive deployment of hundreds of DHS agents to the Twin Cities area as it escalates. The crackdown amid a widening fraud scandal in Minnesota. Multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the plan told CBS News. CBS is reporting this. It's happening. What we have been begging to happen is happening. It's happening. This is going to be an amazing year. I didn't even realize how amazing. I shouldn't say that. How quickly this would hit us now. 5th January 2026. Wow. People are gonna go after jail. Here is Donald Trump talking about all of the Democrat states who have been stealing trillions of dollars. I'm gonna go ahead and say trillions. 4000 daycares discovered in the 20 mile radius around Boston, Massachusetts. Clusters of condos and homes that are registering themselves as daycares. Americans can't even fathom the theft of money laundering taking place nationwide. This is on Wall Street Apes on Twitter of great information. Minnesota Somali fraudsters paid for Lamborghinis, Rolls Royce rentals luxury resorts in Kenya with stolen money. Some of the Minnesota Somalians convicted of the Feeding Our Future scheme reportedly enjoyed luxurious lifestyles with money stolen from the federal government. The news coming as the state is under scrutiny regarding more alleged fraud. It took a guy who's 23 years old just going to a building and knocking on the door to show the fraud. And the Minnesota authorities in charge of all these agencies knew this. They knew this was happening. No one is this clueless. They knew this was happening. The AG of the state of Minnesota needs to go to jail. Listen to this. This is some over the weekend Craigslist ad in Minneapolis seeking child actors for a daycare in Minneapolis. Hennepin county has been discovered with a poster requesting 20 children to act as clients at a somal daycare. And they were going to pay them $1500 a day, up to three days, $4500 to fill these daycare centers with children as actors. They know they're screwed. Oh, they know they're screwed. Ilhan Omar knows she's about to be removed from Congress. She's about to be removed from the country. When the math is done, according to Wall Street Apes, we will most likely realize our entire national deficit is comprised of these Somali scam coupled with the other NGO Griffs of the Democrat Party. In a nutshell, conservative taxpayers are working to fund Democrats and the parasites they've imported. I told you this was going to become a trillion dollar enterprise. Elon Musk saw it too. It has been confirmed Minnesota AG Keith Ellison personally met with Somalis and fraudsters to accept campaign donations. You notice he's been real quiet lately? You notice that? Yeah. You've been Somali's UN ambassador who previously oversaw adult Medicaid. Also served as CEO at a company reportedly placed on federal fraud exclusion list and banned from receiving Medicare funds. The Somali UN ambassador. I told you Somalia was the meth lab trailer park of the world and I was right. Somalia's ambassador was healthcare director in Ohio. Abukar Dahir Osman, Somalia's ambassador to the US previously served as the director of suspicious health care company in Ohio. Was listed as managing director of Progressive Health Care Services, a health care company in Cincinnati from 2014 to 2019. This coincided with his tenure as the Somali ambassador. Minnesota Somali charities routed donations through ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising organization that took put elderly people on their list listings, use their names and identities to launder money through them to the tune of thousands of dollars. Use their names and Amy Klobucar, who's talking about running for government is being is being investigated about this massive money scheme. Senator Amy Klobucar now faces federal litigation alleging orchestrating a massive campaign finance fraud scheme that potentially exploited elderly citizens identities to funnel 10 million in illegal donations. That's what ActBlue did. That's what Act Blue did. Wow. And here's Donald Trump saying these states who have perpetrated this ain't getting another.

[Newt Gingrich]

Dime from Minnesota and from the United States. It's actually more from the United States because Minnesota puts in and we're not going to pay it anymore. We're going to have Waltz go pay. We're not going to pay them and we're not going to pay California and we're not going to pay Illinois with that big slob of a governor that they have that doesn't want, you know, we brought down crime by 25%. Yeah, he didn't do anything. He's not doing anything. But they want us to leave. He had a day where they had 17 murders not too long ago. 17 murders and 77 people shot but 17 died. And then he talks about the walls.

[Political Commentator]

Are coming down, they are coming down, they are coming down. Heather Myers on Newsmax over the weekend talked about fraud in California which is exceeding the hundred billion dollar mark with Gavin Newsom. He'll never be the president.

[News Anchor]

Well, good afternoon to you Katrina and Andrew. This latest report was issued by the state auditor and that's a nonpartisan position. That state auditor now puts eight state agencies on the high risk list of agencies to watch out for for things like fraud and mismanagement as well as waste. Here's a look at that 92 page report. Newly added to the high risk list is California's food stamp program. If the state doesn't get the improper payments, it could cost an extra two and a half billion dollars. Also on there is the Department of Finance which was tasked with giving out Covid relief funds. Critics say $32 billion Covid was a massive scam.

[Political Commentator]

So is Obamacare.

[News Anchor]

Of that was taken by fraudsters. Then there are infrastructure issues like California's deteriorating dams and also the high speed train that's already cost taxpayers 18 billion without a single.

[Political Commentator]

What did I tell you last year? I told you every spending package that Democrats have passed have never fixed what they said it was going to fix. Barack Obama passed a $787 billion infrastructure package. $787 billion. Then months later he said, well I guess the projects weren't shovel ready. That's where I came up with the expression if the Democrat party comes with a big spending package, you'd better have your shovel ready because you're going to be shoveling a lot of crap. And they use Covid to increase the size of the federal government by 40%. And they just looted our treasury. I told you they never fix anything. 50, 60 years in Washington D.C. what's still broken? Social Security is broken and bankrupt. The infrastructure is still screwed. The VA is still screwed. Every department of government, including health care. We've spent trillions of dollars on health care. And now the Democrats, 15 years after Obamacare assess saying health care is broken. All they did was enrich their cronies. All they did was enrich themselves. That's what they did with our money. And we should be righteously, righteously angry about this. This has to be the year of accountability in our country. It has to be. This is all going to be coming at us at light speed. And again you just heard it from CBS 2000. 2000 agents moving in to go after fraudsters start making arrests and shut down this nonsense. In the state of Minnesota, Tim Waltz says that he is not going to run for governor. I predict he's going to be out of the governor's office. I won't say this week, but very soon. Very, very soon. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, I saw an ad for Relief Factor a while back and I saw a guy literally in tears with how he talked about the pain that he was experienced was gone. It happened to me too. I started it taking a few months ago. My hip was really bothering me and I wondered because I'm the age of, you know, replacement of joints and whatnot, if it could be better. And I started taking Relief Factor and it healed. It's a 100% drug free research based formula created to help your body's natural inflammatory response. The same one that caused everyday aches and pains from aging, exercise, overexertion and just normal living.

Relief Factor supports a healthy response to inflammation, helping you stay active and keep those joints and muscles feeling good. It's made with four key ingredients, omega 3 fatty acids, resveratrol, curcumin and Ikarian. Each one helping from a different angle. You can start with the three week quick start for this $19.95.

Go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com and feel the difference. Relief Factor because getting out of bed shouldn't count as a workout. Led Zeppelin in 2026. I listened to a lot of Led Zeppelin on the road over the the vacation and thought about coming in last week. I, I thought about coming in last week and then the thought went away because I have a lot of things to do. I get a brand new the desk that I ordered months ago, the set desk, the same people who did Stephen A. Smith's and, and by the way, Fox NFL desk. I ordered at my own money and it's going to be delivered to this, this studio in the Washington D.C. area and you're gonna see a whole new look on the show. We're gonna start people having people on camera on the show. We're gonna have guests in the studio. We're gonna start doing extended podcasts. It's going to blow up. It's going to be remarkable. My producer Ken said I'm talking too fast. Slow down. Maybe you're listening too slow. There's just a lot to get to. My first grade teacher I still have the note said that Rob talks out of turn worst after he's missed a day. So pardon my enthusiasm and the rapidity of my verbosity. Maybe you need to listen faster. There's so much good news happening. You want to hear some more good news? You ready for this? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me find it here. Hold on. I got to find it. Oh, yeah. Here is Steve Bannon. He says that the. The Mark Kelly court martial review is underway. Welcome back.

[Newt Gingrich]

Okay, Pete Hexseth's got the ball rolling on Mark Kelly. I believe the start of the process. They're sending now. They've notified him they're sending a formal letter of censure.

[Political Commentator]

Wow.

[Newt Gingrich]

Secretary Navy's involved. They're going to take and review this. Secretary Navy's going to review it for 30 days. And I think we're going to get the recommendation to recall Mark Kelly.

[Political Commentator]

Now, I wonder if there are any US Military members who said that. That the action of Donald Trump with regard to removing Maduro from power was illegal. Did anybody. Did anybody decide to say no? Mark Kelly, you're in a whole lot of trouble, brother. And you're even worse trouble now because nobody in our military is going to question. Only the bat guano crazy lefties who sneaked in there are going to doubt why Donald Trump uses this military and how much he respects the people who are in this military. You are on the losing side of history, Mark Kelly. Wesley Hunt says that Elon Omar should resign.

[Rob Carson]

Well, pending the findings of an investigation and given some of the proof that we have already seen, that we already know exists. She needs to resign.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah. Period.

[Rob Carson]

We have a full investigation and she does not need to be serving in the halls of Congress. That's it.

[Political Commentator]

How in God's name is she one.

[Rob Carson]

Of 435 people who clearly hate this country, who behaves this way, who go again. You're right. Robbing and stealing my children's inheritance. Our hard earned tax paying dollars going to a Ponzi scheme.

[Political Commentator]

That's Wesley Hunt on the Benny Johnson Show. And the. The feces is hitting the fan. The feces is hitting the fan. I'm looking at Citizen Free Press. They've got a bunch of stories. A million dollars to a Somali daycare center. Only has two children enrolled. The daycare center has received 750,000 DOCS dollars since 2023, according to state records. In total, its owner has ranked in $1.1 million. Wow. HHS Secretary RFK Jr drops the hammer on Somali fraud, cuts all child care payments to Minnesota. Effective immediately. We have frozen all childcare parent payments to the state of Minnesota. We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud. HHS took three severe penalty actions against Minnesota. Activated our defend the spend system for ACF payments. Starting today, all ACF payments across America will require a justification and a receipt or photo evidence. They're going after SNAP benefits too, by the way. Rollins, the Agricultural Secretary is ensuring that it's been abused. While you and I suffered. While you and I suffered. While we had to work two or three jobs during Joe Biden's administration. These SOBs, they said screw you. These SOBs. While Joe Biden caused inflation to go up 10% one year, 30 to 50% over his four years in office. While we suffered. Suffered. Lost our homes, lost our cars. They enriched these people. My God, it is. It is worse than I could have ever imagined. They want to identify the malicious actors in Nick Shirley's work. Demand Governor Tim Volt's comprehensive audit of these centers. He's in so much trouble. He's done. This includes attendance records, licenses, compliant complaints, investigations, inspections. Launch a dedicated fraud reporting hotline. All of this, it's coming. It's coming down. It's coming hard. News Nation reporter found assisted living facility funded by Americans in a single family home. The owner indicted in Feeding Our Future still raking in $49 million. Rich McHugh was reporting. And Medicaid still continues to shovel millions to properties owned by a man already indicted in the state's massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal. Despite overwhelming red flags and a list of exploited public programs, the properties owned by Gandhi Mohammed, also known as Gami Abdi Kadaye, was indicted in February 2024 on money laundering charges for Feeding Our Future and laundered approximately $1 million in fraudulent funds. Everybody knew about this. Elon Omar knew about it. Keith Ellison knew about it. They all knew about it. They all, all knew about it. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Listen to this. This is a report from a couple of years ago on Fox Night Fox died in Minneapolis. We are talking about money being sent in suitcases through the Minneapolis airport. Everybody knew about it.

[News Reporter]

It's the morning of March 15th. We're chasing a tip about a man who's leaving the country. Our sources tell us he just took a carry on bag through security that was packed With a million dollars cash 2019. You can do that as long as you fill out one of these government forms. We're told these cloak and dagger like scenarios now happen almost weekly at M. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Our sources say last year alone more.

Red million dollars cash left MSP in carry on luggage.

[Political Commentator]

$100 million in carry on luggage from Minneapolis St. Paul International.

[CBS Anchor]

What we were interested in is where it was going.

[News Reporter]

The national go to expert on what's behind these mysterious money transfers is Glenn Kearns. He's a former Seattle police detective who spent 15 years on the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force until his retirement.

[CBS Anchor]

It's an outright crime. It's unbelievable.

[News Reporter]

Kearns tracked millions of dollars in cash that was leaving on flights from Seattle. He was coming from Hawalis. Businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking. Some immigrant communities rely on hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home. Kearns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a hawala in a region of Somalia that's controlled by the Al Shabaab terrorist group.

[Political Commentator]

Last night he was talking to Mark Levin about the. By the way, Tony Schaefer is not gonna be on the show. I apologize. Should have told you that. He said he's in a secure area. He still has an active role in our, in our government and our military. So he has to be at their, you know, their whim. And so Tony Schaefer will have to be rescheduled. Rescheduled. Rescheduled. But we are witnessing history. I told you that when, when Donald Trump was elected, we were going to, every day was going to, it was going to be historic. Last year, we just saw the beginning of it. We just saw the beginning of it, saw some amazing stuff. The border was sealed after being wide open for four years and 20 million people coming. And he did it with a snap of a finger. Unbelievable. He's already brought $20 trillion of investment back in the United States of America. Barack Obama said it wouldn't be possible to bring back manufacturing. He didn't have a magic wand. It's because, you know, he's never had a job. That's why Barack Obama's never had a damn job. Neither is Zoran Mondumi in New York. And he's got this woman in charge of, like, the housing. I'll have to get with this. And she's never owned a home, but she says that they're going to start taking home. They just think they can take. That whole mess in New York City is going to come crashing down in a really big hurry. I'll have to find that for you. But here is Newt Gingrich talking about the history of this administration and what history will say about it.

[Newt Gingrich]

They backslid after Reagan left. They backslid after I left. And Republicans seem very, find it very hard to understand these core principles. Well, that led to the rebellion of the Tea Party movement. And the Tea Party movement, I think, think leads directly to Donald Trump. And Trump is the first one who is articulate enough, tough enough, persistent enough, has enough guts to really profoundly change things. And he is the biggest change agent I think the Republicans have had probably since Abraham Lincoln.

[Political Commentator]

Who would have thought that? Who would have thought that? When he was running. I remember I originally, when I heard he was running 2015, I, you know, I was a talk show host before I had to sell cars in Kansas City, and I went to see Marco Rubio and I would see Ted Cruz and, and I, I didn't, I didn't know. I mean, he was the Apprentice to me. He was the playboy from New York. I, I, I didn't know. Did you know that he was going to turn the world upside down? Did you know that he was going to be the greatest president of our lifetimes? Yeah, I can say that suck it Democrats, because he is is. We've never seen anything like this. And this is why you're caterwauling. This is why you're doing stupid stuff like protesting the removal of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela because you know that every one of these incredible historic actions for good spell your doom. You know it. You know it. And that's why you get on the chat on my live, on my live stream and say stupid crap like Rob Carson. Your show is this net. Honestly, shut up. Up. I love it when people get in the chats on the livestream because my viewers on the livestream eat them alive like piranhas on a calf's leg. It's so funny to watch. It's just so funny to watch. Absolutely incredible. Here is Newt Gingrich talking about what happens in the midterms. The Democrat Party is not offering anything to win in the midterms. They are still dependent on a sycophantic media that they think will cover up all the goodness. And I told you that the good news is going to outweigh all of the negative press coverage about the economy, et cetera. Have you noticed they're not talking much about affordability anymore? They've already moved on. They've already moved on. Newt Gingrich on what happens in the midterms.

[Newt Gingrich]

Trump is not a stabilizing personality. He is a change oriented, dynamic, charismatic leader who leaves behind him a wake of extraordinary things. And I think clearly he's on the way now if he can win the 2026 election and keep control of the House, he will be, I think, right after Washington and Lincoln as one of the great change agents in American history, I completely agree.

[Political Commentator]

Look what we've discovered. Look at how corrupt our government is. Did you ever imagine, could you imagine how bad it would have gotten under Kamala Harris? The government, the border would still be open. Trillions of dollars would be dumped into illegals and, and the, the elections would continue to be stolen. And they have been stolen. There's no doubt about it. 2020 was a rigged election. Everybody knows it. Please give me a friggin break. You can't tell us it's disinformation and misinformation anymore. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. You're going to pay for what you do did. You're going to pay for what you did. CBS under the direction of Barry Weiss this weekend they had a little mea culpa. And if you've been listening to CBS this weekend, it's not like the other networks. This isn't about fluffing Donald Trump. This is about telling the truth. This is the mea culpa from the new CBS anchor, Tony.

[CBS Anchor]

A lot has changed since the first person sat in this chair. But for me, the biggest difference is people do not trust us like they used to. And it's not just us. It's all of legacy media.

[Political Commentator]

Wow.

[CBS Anchor]

And I get it. I get it because I've been hearing about it from just about everybody for more than 20 years as I've traveled America on this assignment or that.

[Political Commentator]

Wow.

[CBS Anchor]

My mom's neighbors in West Virginia. My own neighbors in New York City City. Thousands and thousands of conversations in between. Sometimes people want to talk to me about our coverage of NAFTA or the Iraq War. Other times, it's all about Hillary Clinton's emails or Russiagate or more recently, COVID lockdowns, Hunter Biden's laptop or the President's.

[Political Commentator]

All of the things that the liberal leftist media lied about.

[CBS Anchor]

Fitness for office. The point is, on too many stories, the president, press has missed the story because we've taken you, covered it up into account. The perspective of advocates and not the average American.

[Political Commentator]

No, you forsook the truth. That's what you did. It's not about what we thought. It's about the truth. It's about your abdication of journalistic curiosity completely.

[CBS Anchor]

Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites and not enough on you. And I know this because at certain points, I have been you. I have felt this way, too.

[Political Commentator]

Really? I felt like, why the hell didn't you report on it?

[CBS Anchor]

What I was seeing and hearing on the news?

[Political Commentator]

Why did you go to work for Newsmax? Why did you go to work for. For an agency? Why didn't you become an independent broadcaster like. Like Steve Bannon or like. Or like me? Why didn't you do that?

[CBS Anchor]

Didn't reflect what I was seeing and hearing in my own life.

[Political Commentator]

It's not about what you hear. It's about the truth.

[CBS Anchor]

And that the most urgent questions simply weren't being asked. So here's my promise to you today. And every time you see me in.

[Political Commentator]

This chair, what is that now, really?

[CBS Anchor]

You come first. Not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests. And yes, including Big Pharma. Including Big Pharma, that does include the corporate owners of cbs. I report for you.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah.

[CBS Anchor]

Which means I tell you what I know, when I know it and how I know it, and when I get it wrong, I'll tell You that too.

[Political Commentator]

You know, I grew up in a home where my mother had an abusive spouse. And that kind of reminds me of that. It's like, you know, I'm sorry what I did. I'll never do it again. CBS News Jan Crawford says five bedrock principles for CBS News. We work for you. Number one, we report on the world. That is as it is. We respect you. We love America. We respect tradition. But we also believe in the future. Please watch. I think it's too late. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[News Anchor]

He's still in place. The defense minister who has deep ties to Russia.

[Political Commentator]

Russia.

[News Anchor]

$15 million price on his head. He is still in place. I'm confused. Are they still wanted by the United States? Why didn't you arrest them? If you are taking out the narco.

[Rob Carson]

Terrorist regime, you're confused. I don't know why that's confusing.

[News Anchor]

They're still in charge.

[Rob Carson]

Very simple. You're not going to go in and wrap up. You're going to. But, yeah, but you can't. You're going to go in and suck up five people. They're already complaining about this one operation. Imagine the howls we would have from everybody else if we actually had to go and stay there four days to capture four other people. We got the top priority. The number one person on the list was the guy who claimed to be the president of the country that he was not. And he was arrested along with his wife who was also indicted.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah, there you go. Marco Rubio just making mincemead, immense meat out of Marge Brennan over there on, on cbs. Yeah. Pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Here is Greg Jarrett talking about why this was illegal and it wasn't a, it wasn't just starting a war. It enforcing a warrant for arrest.

[Rob Carson]

You know, Trump can rely on the AU mf, the Authorization for Use of Military Force. Congress passed it a week after 9 11. It gives a president the unilateral power to capture or eliminate terrorists, which would include narco terrorists like Maduro. So, you know, foursquare, the law is on the side of this president for acting as he did. And you know, I think the template, you know, we've seen this movie before was Panama in 1989 and Noriega was convicted and sent to the who's Gal. I, you know, I think Maduro is destined for the supermax in Colorado.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah, there you go. I, I hope, by the way, in the prison that Tim Vaults is going to go to, they have tampons in the boys room. I just, I really do. Because he will be out of place. He won't know what to do with himself when it's that time of the, the month. Here's Greg Jarrett talking about any, any protestation from the corrupt and the United Nations.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, well, the UN Charter is not worth the paper it's written on. Its only good use is at the bottom of a birdcage. Trump did not need permission from Congress or the UN to act. His authority is inherent in Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution. Indeed, presidents have long taken military action over the last 200 years on their own to protect American citizens, to defend national security. Without consulting Congress.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah. And why wouldn't you consult Congress? Why wouldn't you consult Congress? It's because Congress is hostile towards Donald Trump. That's it. That's that.

[Rob Carson]

Of course the media is going to be pitching a fit that they were not. And they left wing of our Congress is upset that they weren't briefed on this. Of course they weren't brief. They would have run straight to the media the same thing they did when Solomani was taken out, took him out of strategic missile strike. And so it's as you see on the History Channel, what happens with, with drug dealers, thugs and international thugs and dictators and mobsters. They always either swinging by a rope shot in some out or take an international perp walk and getting ready to do some serious.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah, it sucks to be you done in Democrats because the President's doing everything legally, blowing up the drug boats, you know, going after Mark Kelly for, for court martialing him. You've been wrong about every damned thing because they are buttoned up in this administration and they're doing it right. Sucks to be you. And you just can't stand it. You can't stand the fact that the success is so amazing for this administration. And every one of these successes you see doom. That's just it. You do, you see your doom. You know it, don't you? Because Venezuela is an 8020 issue. Capturing Maduro is an 8020 issue. 80% of the American people say hell yeah, arrest the SOB put them up on charges. Free people of Venezuela. We're thrilled about it. Only the 20% of the radical left bought and paid for. The same people who went to Elon Musk car dealerships and called him a Nazi. The same people who go to the no Kings. It's all bought and paid for. It's all Astroturf. It's all as organic as a Twinkie and it's not going to Work. Here's the new phase of 80, 20. And the left is on the wrong side again. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

So in response to the United States taking sanctioned oil from Venezuela, Colombian President Gustavo Petro criticized the United States by saying, well, the south southwest is stolen land and that it should be returned to Latin America. I just wanted to know what your response to that is.

[Newt Gingrich]

Well, he has to watch because, you know, he's got drug factors. They make cocaine in Colombia, cocaine. And he's no friend of the United States. He's very bad, very bad guy. And he's got to watch his ass because he makes cocaine and they send it into the United States of America from Colombia. We love the Colombian people. I love the Colombian people. They're great people, energetic, smart, culture, great. But their new leader is a troublemaker and he better watch it. You better close up those cocaine factors. If at least three major cocaine factories, we know where they are, he better close them up fast.

[Political Commentator]

Yeah. President Colombia and President Petro vows to take up arms against Trump. Good luck with that, junior. I mean, this is what this is. When Maduro said a couple of weeks ago, bring it, you a coward. You're going to f around and find.

[Rob Carson]

Out.

[Political Commentator]

I love it. Enjoy it. Rub it in the faces of people who, who have called you a conspiracy theorist or, or relatives who've, who've alienated you and estranged you or friends who've done the same. You will be left in the dustbin of history. Silver's at 77.24 an ounce. And I, I never even could have dreamed silver would be $77 most, $20 more than a barrel of oil now, thanks to Donald Trump. Unbelievable. Gold's at $4,500. Pretty close. About $4,500. Where's it going to go this year? Last year went up 40%. Where's it going to go this year? Maybe you ought to get on the train here if you've never considered gold and your first time gold buyer Birch Gold is offering a rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. But that ends by the end of the month. I just want you to know you've only got to the end of the month and you know, if you didn't do it last year, and I don't know what, I don't know what else I can do aside of, you know, ladies taking my shirt off when I do the ads or maybe some of you guys, but anyway, because I do work out. But I got to tell you, you better get on this. You better get on it now. And Birch Gold is the company I trust. You should trust it too. I think you trust me. I'm not bull crabbing you. And they got my money. So text my name. Rob to 989-898. Claim your eligibility to today. Text Rob to 989-898. Up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases rebated for first time gold buyers. But it ends January 30th and it's already January 5th. There you go. I was going to play a sound bite from Scott Adams. I don't have the time to do it today. Scott Adams did the Dilbert comic. He's been bravely conservative, he's been ostracized and et cetera. And he's dying of cancer and he's very near the end. And he over the weekend accepted Jesus Christ. He said, I don't know what's coming next. I don't know if there's nothing and I don't know if I'll be welcomed into heaven, but I'm going to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior and Christianity as my faith. And now I'll be going into the great beyond. And he said, will you have me? Of course we will. And of course God will. What a great year it's gonna be. It's so good to be back. God bless you guys. I love you. It's just. This is where I belong. Thank you for everything. Until tomorrow. Do not catch the stupid. God bless America and Happy New Year. It's gonna be historic. This is the right.
