When America Throws the Party, the World Shows Up

Summary

The Rob Carson Show: "When America Throws the Party, the World Shows Up" (July 2, 2026)

---

Episode Overview

This live episode of The Rob Carson Show arrives just ahead of July 4th, celebrating America's 250th birthday while blending Rob Carson's hallmark humor, sharp political commentary, and pop culture parodies. Carson and his guests discuss patriotism's evolving role in American identity, the political “patriotism gap,” the unity witnessed during the World Cup, and the unique American experience on display for the world. The episode is energetic, unapologetic, and loaded with both national pride and satire — aimed squarely at entertaining conservatives and tweaking progressive sensibilities.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Patriotism Gap and Party Culture War

• Intro to the "Patriotism Gap"

  • Gallup polling cited: 93% of Republicans are proud to be American, while just 27% of Democrats share that feeling. Carson riffs on the statistic, telling his audience:

    “We are just living in such a different universe if you’re a Republican versus a Democrat.”
    (Scott Jennings, 01:25)

  • Carson posits that Democrats have become “toddlers” since losing the presidency to Trump and are dividing their party with “socialism and anti-Semitism.”
    (Rob Carson, 02:03)

• 4th of July Celebrations and Mainstream Media Bias

  • Defending the massive turnout on the National Mall despite media claims of low attendance:

    "They said nobody is going because it’s Donald Trump’s 250th birthday party for America. You are wrong."
    (Rob Carson, 03:15)

• America’s Achievements and the Grand Experiment

  • Carson accelerates into a celebratory monologue about American progress — from dirt floors and three-month wagon treks to inventing the jet engine, assembly line, and more:

    “We’ve made mistakes, but we don’t suck like Somalia. …or a lot of European countries that don’t have air conditioning.”
    (Rob Carson, 04:39)

---

2. America as a Melting Pot

• The US Men’s Soccer Team as an American Microcosm

  • A rundown of the multi-ethnic, multi-regional soccer team:

    “This US Team represents who we are. …guys from the Bronx and Brooklyn, Miami and LA, two from El Paso, a son of immigrants from Pico Rivera, Mexican Americans, a Dutch American, a German American. Our goalkeeper is a Harvard grad… What could be more American than that?”
    (Unidentified Commentator, 15:19)

• Contrast to Homogeneous Nations

  • Carson notes,

    “You ever look at the Chinese Olympic Team? You know who makes up the Chinese Olympic Team? Chinese people… We are all the sons and daughters of immigrants. That’s just the way it is.”
    (Rob Carson, 14:22)

---

3. Political Satire & Memorable Moments

• Parody Songs and Riffs

  • Riffs on Democratic “spoiled children” and Colorado voters supporting accused anti-Semite Melod Kiros, via parody lyrics and comedic banter.

    “We gotta beat her in November. …Voters must be high in Colorado. Voters must be high.”
    (Rob Carson, 19:03)

• Pop Culture References

  • Celebrates unifying moments like “Freebird” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads” singalongs, especially appealing in contrast to left-wing “misery.”

    “There’s no Democrat who likes Freebird, but we love the hell out of Freebird.”
    (Rob Carson, 09:05)

  • Praises viral videos of foreign fans marveling at America during the World Cup, echoing Bill Maher’s monologue:

    “All these people...reminding us what America looks like from the outside, not through the lens of some influencer explaining why watering your lawn is violence.”
    (Unidentified Commentator quoting Bill Maher, 11:23; Rob Carson, 12:09)

---

4. International Perspectives: Canadian Friend Across the Border

• Chat with Michael Charbonne (The Charbonne Report)
  • Compares US and Canadian patriotism, notes Trump’s indirect effect on boosting Canadian flag-waving:

    “Donald Trump has motivated patriotism in Canada… Canadians actually are becoming more patriotic.”
    (Michael Charbonne, 30:16)

  • Canadian voting laws: mandatory voter IDs, no debate — much to Carson’s sarcastic incredulity:

    “Canada was so sexist because women cannot get an id, especially after they get divorced…”
    (Rob Carson, 28:04)

  • On US-Canada-Mexico trade (KUSMA) uncertainty and “melting pot” culture in both soccer and society.

---

5. America in the World’s Spotlight

• The World Cup effect

  • Both hosts and guests agree: World Cup visitors are wowed — reaffirming American exceptionalism for natives and tourists alike. Patriotism is “rubbing off” on international guests.

    “It is such a refreshing scenario…when you switch away from MSNBC now to see a soccer game where Americans are standing up supporting Americans.”
    (Michael Charbonne, 33:18)

• Carson’s Mantra

  • Encourages listeners to “overwhelm the left with joy, faith, and patriotism.”

    “If you don’t like it, honestly, I think we find you a plane ticket… and you leave and go to another country.”
    (Rob Carson, 13:09)

---

6. Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

• Celebration and Defiance

  • “If you don't want to be at the party, stay home and be miserable, because the rest of us are going to overwhelm you with joy and patriotism and faith.”
    (Rob Carson, 10:10)

• Perspective from Abroad

  • “We’re 40 million people and we have six political parties. You have almost 400,000 and you have two political parties. Much more balance and hatred.”
    (Michael Charbonne, 26:17)

• On American Innovation

  • “We have the highest number of Nobel Prize winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane, personal computers and the party sized bag of extra Flamin Hot Cheetos.”
    (Unidentified Commentator, 12:47; Rob Carson’s reaction, 13:03)

• Optimism for the Future

  • “We don’t need to live in darkness anymore. The world does not. We do not need to live in darkness.”
    (Rob Carson, 36:14)

Tone and Style

Rob Carson’s tone throughout remains humorous, irreverent, and proudly partisan. The episode is peppered with parody songs, pop culture asides, and intentionally provocative jabs at Democrats and the politically correct left. Guests, particularly Michael Charbonne, match the show’s breezy banter while offering international flavor and comparisons. The conversation gleefully exudes conservative confidence as America hits its 250th milestone.

---

For listeners who missed the episode: Expect a raucous, hyper-patriotic mix of comedy, political commentary, pop culture, and genuine celebration of the American "melting pot" — all while the World Cup puts the USA in the global spotlight. The episode’s title isn’t just about July 4th — it’s about the notion that, when America throws a party, the entire world really does show up…and sometimes leaves with a newfound respect for the host.

[Rob Carson]

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.

And by the grace of God, it is finally Thursday, which is technically for many people, a Friday.

[Scott Jennings]

You know, among Republicans, 93% are extremely or very proud. Just one, a single one say they have little to no pride in being an American. But look over at the Democratic. This is where we've seen this extremely or very number. It's been taking a tumble at 27%, which is way different than the 93. You do the quick math with me here. What is that? That's a 66 point difference here in terms of extremely average. But look at this. The little or no proud to be an American actually among Democrats, eclipses is greater than the extremely or very proud number. So we are just living in such a different universe if you're a Republican

[Rob Carson]

versus a Democrat because the Democrat party made a bunch of toddlers who got their rear ends kicked not only in in 2016, but also 2024. And they've been throwing a tantrum since Donald Trump came down the escalator. And guess what? We're kicking their butts. They're so lost, they're turning to Democrat socialism. They're dividing the party. They're turning to anti Semitism. Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord. So there you go. There you go. Welcome to the show. Please come inside. Believe it or not, we're going to jump into something very, very positive right now. Because the great thing is, while the Democrats and the liberal media, the leftist media, sit outside the party and screech and howl and try to ruin things for us, we go on and completely ignore them. How does that sound? Let's do that. Last night before big victory, United States men's team over Bosnia Herzegovina. A two point victory, by the way. Two nil. And by the way, there were probably 100,000 people down on the National Mall where the media said nobody is going because It's Donald Trump's 250th birthday party for America. You are wrong. But listen to this crowd, The whole crowd. And no, none of the players are kneeling. Bright stars, there they are.

I know.

It hasn't been this big in years. Thank you very much. 100,000 people there. Oh, there you go. Yeah. And the energy was palpable. And they ended up beating this team. And now they're in against the FIFA Sweet 16. And I'm not even a big soccer fan. But I'm going to tell you what, if our men's team wins, I'm going to be buying a jersey. Hell, yeah. I don't understand. I mean, look, he kicked the ball and then he ran around. I don't even care. This is Scott Jennings talking about the Democrat Party and how they are so petulant and so selfish. As we go into the 4th of July, 250. We waited 250 years to be here. This grand experiment that has given us, the United States, the greatest engine of individual and economic freedom in the history of the world. They had dirt floors when we were founded, largely in households. They traveled by wagon and it would take three months to cross the country and half of the party would die of diphtheria. Now we go on a slow day going against the headwinds of five and a half hours, DC to la, and then four and a half on the way back. Nobody dies. Nobody dies. And we invented the jet engine and then the internal combustion engine and then, oh, I don't know, the telegraph and then the telephone and then the light bulb. Let me see, what else? Blue jeans, rock and roll. You know, the locomotive engine. I mean, the. The what? The assembly line, the automobile, the whole deal. Oh, they argue with the French, say they got it, but honestly, their cars have been absolute crap. I mean, a Le Car A Renault. Dear God, why even bother? That said, we have a great country. It's always been the greatest country. We've made mistakes, but we don't suck like Somalia. Okay? We don't suck like, you know, a lot of European countries that don't have air conditioning. As we head into 100 degree plus weekend here in Washington D.C. where I will have my thermostat set to 70 degrees, thank you very much. Here is Scott Jennings. These are not bipartisan and it seems to be more of a celebration of him than it is of our country.

No, not at all.

Not at all. It's. They plan this years ahead. It's 250th anniversary. In fact, they started planning really, if you think about it, 250 years ago because if the country lasted that long on its 250th birthday, you'd celebrate its 250th birthday.

[Scott Jennings]

Scott, you were at the event today at the Roosevelt Library, which, oh yeah,

[Rob Carson]

the Roosevelt, the Teddy Roosevelt Library was dedicated. It was a little bit better than the Obama library. They had the rough Riders on horseback leading the beast. It was unbelievable looks.

[Scott Jennings]

The library looks awesome. How do you think 250 is going compared to what the president wanted it to be?

Well, if I first just may say a word for the Teddy Roosevelt Library, it was well attended today. The president spoke to several hundred people at the library and then he huge crowd which if you've never come to Maduro, is one of the most unique.

[Rob Carson]

Teddy Roosevelt was definitely not a vegan, certainly was not by non binary, certainly did not believe there were six sexes and didn't believe that God was non binary.

[Scott Jennings]

Interesting places in the United states. I think America 250 is a great thing for our country and I think the president's right to lean into it. And I think there's a very simple explanation about some of the attendance. And it's because, and you can see it in the polling, don't take my word for it. Ask the Gallup poll. Ask NBC News poll. We have a patriotism gap in this country. Republicans love this country. They're patriotic about this country and Democrats are.

[Rob Carson]

And we would fight and die for it. But we wouldn't die, actually. We'd win and the other bad guys would die.

[Scott Jennings]

They just aren't, they're not proud to be Americans and therefore they're not interested because they lost. Celebrating America's 250th birthday. And I don't think it's all about Donald Trump. This has been a steady downward trend for the last 25 years. And it's sad, but we've got two parties in this country. One loves it and one appears to be hating it more and more by the year. And I think that is a sad thing.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

That's being manifested in the Democrat Party itself by its behavior with regard to the 250th year of our birth, with their rioting in 2020, saying that we were racist and all of this with this latest crap. Crap. Yeah, crap. It's not a crop. It's a crap of Democrat socialists who absolutely despise America and want to usher in socialism and communism, which isn't going to work because we're going to beat their. They're going to be their butts into the ground. We are. I mean, that's just the way it is. I want to. I want to go through here. This is a little something because, again, for those of you who don't want to celebrate America, for those who, like, for instance, my ex spouse and my friends who decided to disown me because of my politics, I have a little something for you while you're, you know, sipping lattes or whatever you're going to be doing this weekend. I'm not necessarily calling my ex wife, but. But certainly my ex friends. While you're, you know, sitting there in misery, the rest of us are going to be partying like rock stars. Ye.

Yeah. Come on.

Hell yeah. Freebird. There's no Democrat who likes Freebird, but we love the hell out of Freebird.

Yeah.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. You want to hear something else? It's going to burn the Democrats butts who hate America after the game. After we beat Bosnia Herzegovina last night in soccer, the US Men's team furthest, I think, in World cup history. And it's happening the 250th year of our birth as Donald Trump is the president and the Democrat Party does a death spiral into hell with the Democrat socialists. After the game, they sang this song, Take Me Home. Come on to the place.

I love it. Mountain Mama.

You don't want to be at the party. Stay home and be miserable because the rest of us are going to overwhelm you with joy and patriotism and faith. And John Denver is smiling down from heaven.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Baby,

[Rob Carson]

come on. Yesterday, I love it. The whole world was singing this song. The Scots were singing this song. It's absolutely amazing. Even old Bill Maher recognizes America is incredible.

[Unidentified Commentator]

And finally, new rule. Let's all give it up for soccer being the greatest sport. No,

[Scott Jennings]

no, no.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Not the game itself, that sucks. I mean, there's more scoring in a Star Trek convention.

[Rob Carson]

Oh yeah, more scoring in.

[Unidentified Commentator]

But I.

[Rob Carson]

My score is nil. Nil.

[Unidentified Commentator]

I'm loving that the World cup has brought to our shores all these people who are doing Americans the service of reminding us, just when we needed it on our big 250 birthday, that actually this place is kind of awesome.

[Rob Carson]

Oh yeah, it is.

[Michael Charbonne]

And if you don't like it, you can suck it.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Yeah, we can't be more perfect than what's in your mind. We can only be more perfect than Belgium. Belgium, which I bet has nicer airports, but trust me, has its own problems. And I never saw anyone getting ecstatic about being there. But that's exactly what I've been seeing here for the last month. Social media flooded with videos of slack jawed soccer tourists wandering around America, positively gushing about everything we take for granted. Reminding us what America looks like from the outside, not through the lens of some influencer explaining why watering your lawn is violence.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. You know, and then I told you we need to overwhelm the left with joy and faith and patriotism. The whole world is doing that now. The whole world is doing that right now. Yeah, it's kind of crazy, right? I said that when Donald Trump won the presidency, patriotism, freedom, we're going to circle the globe and it is absolutely happening right now.

[Unidentified Commentator]

We have the strongest intellectual property, the most innovative R and D, the highest gdp, the most valuable companies, and the most trillionaire

[Rob Carson]

one, the first.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Now look, maybe it's a coincidence, but I think it's something in the American system and character that we have the highest number of Nobel Prize winners and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the smartphone, the airplane, personal computers and the party sized bag of extra Flamin Hot Cheetah.

[Rob Carson]

Flamin Hot Cheetos. Come on, come on.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Happy fourth, everybody.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely, 1,000%. I am going to be unrelenting on this for the rest of this year through the election. If you don't want to take part, if you want to sit and be and moan and say, oh, there's nobody down there for the fair, oh my God, look at the reflecting pool. Sucks. Honestly, you're going to be left in the dust because we're moving forward without you. That's it. If you don't like America, honestly, I think we find you a plane ticket, we get you some sort of extradition and you become, you know, and you leave and you go to another country. I mean, honestly, I believe that if you don't like it. Don't try to change it. Find something better if you think it's out there. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

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

It is a Rob Carson show on a Thursday. You know, I've been saying for years, you know, America is a melting pot. It always has been a melting pot. The Democrat Party, they've. They don't know history. They don't. They don't study history. They don't teach history, only the history they approve of.

[Michael Charbonne]

And.

[Rob Carson]

And we've been a melting pot since day one. We are all the sons and daughters of immigrants. There you go. That's just the way it is. And I've used the example. I said, if you don't believe me, look at the. The Olympic 2 team. I said, you ever look at the Chinese Olympic team? You know who makes up the Chinese Olympic team? Chinese people. This is the makeup of the men's soccer team from the usa.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Why are the fans so behind this USA team? Is it the home World Cup?

Yeah.

Is it that they're playing well with pride and confidence and skill outside of the booth? But I think a big reason we love this team is that this US Team represents who we are. This team comes from all walks of life, and they've come together for a common goal of achieving something great. Our captain is from the heartland, St. Louis.

[Rob Carson]

St. Lou, baby.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Our best defender is from Birmingham, Alabama. We have the pride of Hershey, Pennsylvania. And our best midfielder is the son of a military man. We've got guys from the Bronx and Brooklyn, Miami and Los Angeles. Two from El Paso. We've got the. The son of immigrants from Pico Rivera. We've got Mexican Americans, a Dutch American, a German American.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Unidentified Commentator]

And our goalkeeper is a Harvard grad.

[Rob Carson]

Really?

[Unidentified Commentator]

We have people that you could see in any city in America, and they're all ballers that are coming together to do something special. What could be more American than that?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, baby.

[Scott Jennings]

Baligan.

[Rob Carson]

Can he get inside?

[Unidentified Commentator]

Fly balligan.

[Rob Carson]

It might be one of his best.

And the building shakes in Seattle. There you go.

You know, the Democrat Party on the left tried to destroy everything in our country the last 20 years. Took the American flag out of the classroom, put up the Somalia flag in places like Boston, you know, the LGBTQIA rainbow flag and all that. Chased. Got out of the classroom, got rid of the Pledge of Allegiance, then spent the summer of 2020 tearing down our country, tearing down the statues and all of this and we never stop believing. We always soldiered on and believed in our country. When I grew up, this is what I was raised with.

[Unidentified Commentator]

America was founded by the English, but also by the Spanish, Dutch and French. Yeah, the principle still sticks. Our heritage is mixed. So any kid can be the president.

[Rob Carson]

Weird.

[Unidentified Commentator]

You simply melt riding. It doesn't matter what your skin. It doesn't matter where you're from or your religion. You jump right?

[Rob Carson]

Great American melting pot.

The great American melting pot.

Yeah, I know, I know. Not hear anything about America being built by slaves. Their language and their lgbq KWA rst.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Build the soil. Help build the usa.

[Rob Carson]

That's weird.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Go on and ask your grandma.

[Rob Carson]

This is like 50 years ago. Talking about all the different people here.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Great to be American. And something else as well.

[Rob Carson]

That is just crazy.

Lovely Lady Liberty come on with her

[Unidentified Commentator]

book of recipes and the finest one.

[Rob Carson]

She's gone. What's that?

The great American melting pot.

The great American melting pot.

[Unidentified Commentator]

The great American melting pot.

[Scott Jennings]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And 50 years later, we. We have a spoiled child who is $250,000 in debt, has spent 12 years in college and made $30,000 last year. And she just won a primary for Congress in Colorado.

[Unidentified Commentator]

We will not wait to take the fight to Donald Trump and the oligarchy. We will not wait. We will not wait to abolish ice. We will not wait to put an end to the politics of the past, to get big money out of our politics and to reject corporate PACs at APAC.

[Rob Carson]

And yeah, how about shut the hell up, you child. You know nothing. Jim Gossett, John Dimmer.

Colorado, they just voted for and anti Semite. Gyros is her name.

Yeah. We gotta beat her in November.

October 7th. She will not condemn. Melod Kiros clearly has no shame.

Homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews says that Hamas

has her full support. A fire bombing. She won't criticize.

I know. She's psychotic.

Melod Kiros told us that she believes with Israel we should.

We're going to destroy them.

These Colorado voters must be high.

That's got to be it.

That must be their alibi, the reason they support her. They can't tell you why. No. Voters must be high in Colorado. Voters must be high.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they're just spoiled, entitled children. And just because you're the young generation doesn't mean D word for Richard. We're in control.

[Shannon Maldonado]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

And we're better armed intellectually and physically. So there you go. Yeah. Oh, and then the September 11th anniversary 25th anniversary is going to happen this fall, 250th year of our birth. It's not lining up well for karma and the Democrat party. Michael Chobo joins us next. Don't go anywhere.

Take off to the great.

[Rob Carson]

It's a beauty way to go.

You know, it's kind of, kind of weird. Earlier this week I had one of these moments where you kind of go, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on here? I was in the, it was in my bathroom in my apartment. I looked down, there's a dime on the floor. And I'm like, first of all, I never have, I never have change. And, and lo and behold, it's, it's a Canadian dime. It looks just like an American dime. Canadian quarter looks the same. I know many of Gen Z, we have these things called coins that we use and it's for currency. It's not in the shape of a card, but I thought of Michael Charbon and Michael Charbonne, of course. The host of the Charbonne Report joins us on the Newsmax Highline. How are you on this glorious Thursday, Sir?

[Michael Charbonne]

Rob, it's an honor to be with you in your nationally syndicated radio listeners as well as streaming live on News Max, that dime's only worth 7 cents, so don't buy it over in the washroom.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely, dude.

[Michael Charbonne]

Rob, I need your help.

[Rob Carson]

What?

[Michael Charbonne]

I need to get a gift. I'm, I'm, I, I can't go to the rehearsal dinner tonight at 6 o', clock, Maddox Square Gardens. But the weddings happen.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, dear Lord.

[Michael Charbonne]

5:30. I need to get a gift. Where, where the hell, buddy? In Minnesota. And I bought a ticket online and I've got a ticket to the wedding.

[Rob Carson]

Well, where are they registered? At the G5 plant. I mean, honestly, where do the, these two, the billionaire and the multi hundred millionaire football player, where are they registered?

[Michael Charbonne]

They're probably registered in a bank, right?

[Rob Carson]

At Boeing.

[Michael Charbonne]

I kind of missed the engagement on top of the Empire State Building. Oh, dude, when the two of them were French kissing on top of the antenna. It would have been in an election. Strict experience. But I understand they're being charged.

[Rob Carson]

They are being charged with. With felonies. You know, I don't know. I appreciate a big. A big proposal, I really do. But it does put a hell of a lot of pressure on the man. And this. This guy doesn't exactly make things easier for the rest of us, you know.

[Michael Charbonne]

Yeah, well, you know, I did it with a limousine and. And a good dinner, and you. You feel you put everything forward, but can you imagine there. There's been a couple of things at stadiums where they did that, and it was a ruse where the lady said no to the guys.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Yeah, it happened to me six times before one finally bit. No, I'm just kidding, actually. But you know. You know what. You know what we did? Here's what I did. And this is. I'm kind of proud of it. Of course, it ended up in failure 28 years later. But here's the deal. We. We were going on a trip to go skiing, and I got us bumped up to first place, and I got the captain to do it, the pilot of the plane to do it. And. And he got on the air, and. And he. And he said, ladies and gentlemen, I got a special couple on the plan. Anyway, I got down on my knee and he asked the question, and the whole plane, you know, exploded in applause and everything, you know. But now we got people doing it on top of the Empire State Building, so I feel like a piker. Yeah. And by the way, if I do it again. And I'm not. No, I'm not going to. But if I did, it would not be that big a deal, you know,

[Michael Charbonne]

Rob, if you find the right girl, you will.

[Unidentified Commentator]

Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

No, I don't think so. All right, so this one guy said

[Michael Charbonne]

to me, another guy says, I've been married three times. Is it three times? Yeah. How'd your first wife die? He said, she died of food poisoning. He says, that's terrible. She ate mushrooms. And they said, what about your second wife? He said, well, traumatic head injury. He said, well, how did she die? She didn't want to eat the mushrooms.

[Rob Carson]

Geez. All right, all right. Yeah, well, it's kind of. It's kind of insensitive, you know, it's kind of sexist.

[Michael Charbonne]

Sorry, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

Could be racist, homophobic. I don't even know. Let's talk about what's going on in. In Canada, the national holiday celebrating the 1860 constitution. You guys are celebrating your, not Independence Day, but the creation of the country. 159 years old. Is that it?

[Michael Charbonne]

Yeah. I mean, we're still junior to you, but you know, we, we did have to repatriate our Constitution from the United Kingdom with, with Katy Perry's future father in law, who's no longer with us. Pierre, he went to the Queen Elizabeth and said that he wanted to read, reconstitute our constitution. So in 1982 we brought it back. But, you know, we had lots of celebrations. But I think we're going to be absolutely dwarfed with what I'm seeing is going to happen with you guys in the States. I mean, we have a flyover. It's mosquitoes in Northern Ontario.

[Rob Carson]

Absolutely. But you know, let me ask you this. Does one half of your country, does one political party hate your country as founded and want it to become conscious communist?

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, you see, we're 40 million people and we have six political parties. You've got almost 400,000. You have two political parties.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Michael Charbonne]

Much more balance and hatred.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you. Yeah, we are definitely. We're divided. I think it's very positive though, and I do believe this, that the, the Democratic socialists are moving in and you've got half of the Democrat Party who are down with that and then half are just too terrified to speak about it. So I think it's going to bode very well for the Republican. We were going to win anyway in the midterms. I know I shouldn't say that, but. Yeah, because the Democrats have nothing to run on. Well, yes, I can. I absolutely can because I'm right about everything. That's just the way it is. At least that's what I told my wife and maybe that's why she divorced me. No, I have a good, I have a good record of success and the Democrat Party has nothing good to run on at all. And they're awful and evil people. That said, you had mentioned that you think this ID for voting in cancer is that we, that we, you know, we have a one party who doesn't want ID for the reason of getting people who aren't eligible to vote to be able to vote. But in Canada you guys require the id.

[Michael Charbonne]

Absolutely. You can't do. I mean, I'm not going to go through the litany of things that you have to do like getting into the Obama concrete block. You still have to show ID in Canada.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Michael Charbonne]

You have to be on a voters list.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my Lord.

[Michael Charbonne]

You have to show your id even Though you appear on the voters list because it maintains that your identity is who you are. And when you have the situation in the States where you have such great conflict about mail in voters and so we call it absentee voting.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Michael Charbonne]

Why would you not demand to have id?

[Rob Carson]

Well, hold on a second. I had no idea that Canada was so sexist because women cannot get an id, especially after they get divorced. Democrats don't think women can survive without men in their lives. And, and it's racist, obviously, that because black people who live in Canada, I think there might be three of them, they can't get an id. You know, that's the way it is. So you guys are just white supremacist and sexist up there.

[Michael Charbonne]

I can't believe. You know what? It's so interesting. A woman, I love the way you throw, you throw your seven Canadian cents that you found in the washroom. I don't know. In this whole. That's such a, that's such a silly example that the Democrats are saying, I know the women who were married and had their names changed or on the voters list. I mean, give me a break. They don't know what else to say because you're deporting all their, their mass ballots and now all this, what is it, 350,000 Somalians and Syrians. Yeah, come on, guys. I mean, who is voting?

[Rob Carson]

I would, you know, I'd love to see the reaction if I told my now. Exactly. Ex wife, honey, you know, I don't know how you're gonna get along since we got a divorce, how you're ever gonna vote because, I mean, actually she never took my name, so. Yeah, I wouldn't blame her either. Listen, we got more with Michael Charbone on the other side of the break. Michael Charbonne, the host of the Charbonne Report. Michael A. Charbonne on X. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. The Rob Carson show on a Thursday, which is technically Friday here in the States. Anyway, Michael Sharbone, the host of the Charbonne Report, also works on Newsmax as well from Canada. How's the weather up there this weekend? Because on the east coast out here it's going to be 100 degrees and they say the, the heat index about 110 degrees. The feels like temperature they're saying is higher, which is kind of ridiculous when you think about it because if it were a woman like with feel, with feelings, feels like it could be like 70 degrees in the, in the, in the, the place and she'd say it feels like 45, you know. You know, you ever notice that? Is it really hot up here?

[Michael Charbonne]

But I was going to say, Rob, interestingly enough, do you realize that Donald Trump has motivated patriotism in Canada?

[Rob Carson]

Really? Tell me.

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, no, really, because you know, as Donald Trump has gone around and said around America first and he threw a couple of those 51st state comments, Canadians actually are becoming more patriotic. We had a real lack being able to display our flag and saying we love Canada only when it's with hockey and sports and some other things. It really turned around. You went around and saw communities, there's more Canadian flags. And what many people are attributing that to was Donald Trump motivating Canadians to stand up for Canada. So, you know, he's actually done a great thing for Kennedy. He's made us more patriotic. Look at that.

[Rob Carson]

Maybe, maybe he's like that stepdad who, you know, gives you tough love and kind of gets you, gets your act straightened.

[Michael Charbonne]

No, I think he's like that drunken uncle that you put on the couch after an oldie.

[Rob Carson]

No, that's. That's Doug Ford. What are you talking about?

[Michael Charbonne]

You know what, I'll say one thing about Doug Ford. Ford. Doug Ford has done more television, more media and more stuff in the United States to help the Canadians position than Mark Carney or any of his bag of bunzos are because what he did, he did a thing with Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania because so much of the northern grid of electricity is supplied by Canada. And even Josh Shapiro, who is potentially the next Democratic presidential nominee for the Democrats, but he made a deal with them. And that's the kind of thing you need to do. And that's what's lacking in the current liberal government for the Conservative.

[Scott Jennings]

Of course.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Now you were talking about Kuzma. Tell me about Kuzma. Canada, U.S. mexico. What's going on with this?

[Michael Charbonne]

Well, so there's still 232 tariffs that are between us that is going to really start to negatively affect both sides of our borders. And what basically has come out from the United States is saying that they're not going to renew it, they're just going to roll it over. There was a thought that if Kuzma was going to be renewed, it would be renewed for 16 years. But they're not. They're just going to kind of leave it the way it is and review it on a yearly basis. But the problem is that there are economics on both sides of the border that are going to be negatively influenced by this because we have such a tied in trade relationship. So I think it's an unfortunate circumstance, Rob, that we haven't been able to make a decision on this.

[Rob Carson]

Gotcha, Gotcha, gotcha. Well, has. I know that that soccer fever really has caught on here in the States and the, the U.S. men beat Bosnia Herzegovina in, in Canada. Do you guys kind of have an even split with regard to Canada, France, England, as far as your. Your international hockey teams or ice hockey, international soccer teams are considered?

[Michael Charbonne]

We have a. We have. We have somewhat of a melting pot. Our multicultural aspects are a little more diverse, where we celebrate a little bit more diversity. But I mean, Canada's soccer team has done well. We have another game coming up. I think it's Saturday, and we're also in the knockout round, so, you know, hoping for the best. I think we've done well. I was really impressed with your American team, and I have to say, it was so lovely to have you put that clip of, of singing the national anthem. It is such a refreshing scenario when you switch away from Ms. Now to see a soccer game where Americans are standing up supporting Americans. You know, it's kind of like that's what NASCAR and the NFL has done. So God bless America for that. And happy birthday to all you guys. You really deserve. You didn't get the 250 because you didn't know what you were doing.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, the thing I'm enjoying about this is there is. I think it's providential, Michael. I'm a believer in God. And I think right now we are in the throes, and we have been in the throes, the entire world of good versus evil. And I think good is beginning to put evil back on its heels. And a lot of things that are happening here are pretty remarkable. You've got the World cup here, 250th anniversary of America. If Kamala Harris were in charge, the border would still be open, the United States Capitol would still be a crap hole, and then people would be sitting during the national anthem. And I think it's a glorious thing to see people come over here and just go, we've been lied to about America. And the problem is we've also been lied to about America from the leftist media, Ms. now, and whatnot. And I really do believe in my mantra, you know, is overwhelm the left with joy, faith and patriotism. And that's happening worldwide. And it's nice that so many people are coming here having biscuits and gravy, going, holy hell, going to. Going to BUC EE's going through a neighborhood and having people welcome people to come up, sit on the porch and hang out. We were a remarkable culture and a remarkable country. And I believe it's serendipitous that so many people are coming here, seeing it, witnessing it, going holy hell and going back to their countries and saying, you know what? Maybe we need to be a little bit more like America.

[Michael Charbonne]

Yeah, no doubt. And I think one of the poignant things that you said in your opening, Rob, was you said it was amazing to see the American soccer athletes during the national anthem and nobody was kneeling. That is a very powerful statement that has a lot of stuff packed into it. And I think America regained its pride in being American, being all colors, all faiths, all nationalities, but realizing that America is number one and celebrating your birthday and to see 250 years of your success as a society who again, has been not only the policeman of the world, but who's really been the supporter of core values and morals. And it's depressing to see the other side always put you guys down all the time.

[Rob Carson]

Well, we don't. We don't need to live in darkness anymore. The world does not. We do not need to live in darkness. It's a matter of the forces of darkness and allowing them to take over. And we don't have to do that. And that's where we're witnessing worldwide. I believe that from the bottom of my heart, brother. I really do. But we got to run. Michael Sharbon, where can everybody find your glorious work?

[Michael Charbonne]

I just got to say, it's voices like you, Rob Carson, that makes a difference. Michael A charbone.com and on Facebook and LinkedIn. Thank you, Rob, for you and your listeners and happy birthday, America.

[Rob Carson]

Hey, if you get down here, I'm going to give you a royal tour of Washington, D.C. i promise you that.

[Michael Charbonne]

Okay, I'll bring my seven cents.

[Rob Carson]

All right. Please do. All right, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Come on. My feet's up.

No more incredible man on this earth. Oh.

So, yeah, I guess this weekend is the big Travis Kelsey Taylor Swift wedding.

[Michael Charbonne]

I hear they're.

[Rob Carson]

They're registered at Gulf Stream is what it is. That's Register at Gulf Stream. There you go. Because they're billionaires and all that stuff. And I wonder. That's great.

Have fun.

You know, I'm really happy for you. Enjoy marriage.

[Unidentified Commentator]

It's.

[Rob Carson]

I wish you the best. I really. I have no problem with marriage. I think marriage is wonderful and I. And I hope it works out for him. I hope, I hope, really hope it does. Coming up very shortly, going to be talking about Zoran Mandami being roasted for telling New Yorkers to set their ACs to 78 degrees. This is shades of Jimmy Carter all over again. And they, they got rid of air conditioning places like France. And right now more people die in France in the summer than, than gun deaths in America, even in Chicago. I know. Because they're so stupid. And they think that the, the literally France on the, on the worldwide stage is the size of a fingernail clipping. And getting rid of air conditioning does nothing to the climate. But not having it kills a whole lot of people. There you go. Speaking of which, staying cool at night. My ghost bed does it. You want to hear something weird? I get hotter when I sleep on the covers than when I sleep under the covers. That sounds weird, right? But when you're on the covers or under the covers and the ghost bed is between you and the covers, the ghost bed keeps you close cooler. And when you sleep on top of the comforter, as sometimes I do, just because I just get into bed and I don't care, I'm going to sleep. I'm so tired. It's hotter above that. It's remarkable. There are a lot of these beds, you know, they got to buy add ons and all this and the temperature control and all this. But the way that a ghost bed is made, it keeps you cool. Cool in the summer and keeps you warm in the winter. It's crazy. And you don't need to buy a separate mattress and box springs. I don't even know if people do that anymore. You don't have to spend, I mean, gigantic amounts of money for a bed. I've got my ghost bed. I got a relatively real, cheap, actually metal frame and I put my ghost bed on there. Things about 18 inches thick with a, with a, with a beautiful mattress kind of topper on it. It's not too soft, it's not too firm, but it sleeps beautifully. And I stay cooler the closer I am to the mattress. What kind of sense does it that make? It doesn't make any sense. All I know is it works. And right now, if you finance your ghostbed, if you feel like you need to do that. Dollar a day, dollar a day. Think about all the other things you spend a dollar a day on. Here's what you got to do if you want to save 10%. Got a 4th of July special going on for Ghostbed. Ghostbed.com Carson ghostbed.com Carson just go there and you'll get 10% off. I'm gonna tell you something than right now. It is utterly, utterly amazing. I've never had a better sleep in my night in my life. I should say last night. My daughter, she has our little dog here, Desi. Desi never sleeps on the bed. Desi sleeps on the floor. Or she goes to her little dog bed. She will not leave the ghost bed. It is crazy. And that's the only female that's going to be in my bed all summer long. There you go. So coming up again, we got Mondavi being roasted for telling New Yorkers to set their ACs to 78 degrees. We've also got oh, oh, oh, Alan Dershowitz. He's saying with the left word lurch of the Democrat party toward anti Semitism, Alan Dershowitz is saying Liz Warren would have voted for Hitler in Germany.

What?

Yeah. What have I been saying? That's all coming up. Don't go anywhere.
