1. The Rise of Radical Candidates and Astroturf Activism

(01:36-05:34)

• Rob dissects Azra Nomani’s article on the rise of Zoran Mandami, attributing his political ascent to orchestration by Linda Sarsour and funding from George Soros.
• He ties together Soros-backed candidates in Virginia (notably Ghazala Hajmi for Lieutenant Governor) and in Dearborn, Michigan (Mayor Abdullah Hammoud), dismissing their support as “astroturf” and unrepresentative of grassroots sentiment.

3. Democratic Attempts at Relatability (Gavin Newsom/Wonder Bread Story)

(06:36-07:30)

• Rob lampoons Gavin Newsom’s attempt to appear relatable to black voters, mocking his “Wonder Bread” and “hustle” anecdotes as inauthentic and performative.

“He just drops Wonder Bread out of nowhere. Just, just sitting there on the TV with the Wonder Bread, watching Alex Haley’s Roots… Why do Democrats do this?” — Rob Carson [06:38]

---

4. Kamala Harris and Performative Identity Shifts

(07:30-07:44)

(23:05-26:32, 31:27-34:52)

• Interview with Cliff Maloney: Updates from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the national ground game.

---

8. The ‘Karen’ Phenomenon, Therapy Culture, and Protest Politics

(15:17-21:25)

• Rob introduces Jonathan Alpert, a psychologist, to analyze the "Karen" archetype behind protest culture and therapy speak.
• Alpert argues that highly educated “40-something women” form the core of many left-wing protests, seeking affirmation and venting rather than real change.

“It’s like a big venting session; almost like group therapy. They feel better in the moment, but it doesn’t necessarily bring about any sort of positive change.” — Jonathan Alpert [19:13]

• The conversation also critiques the overuse of therapy terms (e.g., “narcissist”, “PTSD”) as a means of projecting personal dissatisfaction onto political adversaries, especially Trump.

“A lot of the participants at these rallies will claim that they’re traumatized... They’re not traumatized. They don’t have PTSD. Those are actual clinical mental health terms.” — Jonathan Alpert [20:02]

---

9. Election Integrity, DOJ Monitors, and Democrat Resistance

(25:37-26:32, 39:16-39:48)

---

10. The Democrat Bench for 2028: Mockery and Pessimism

(38:05-39:16)

• Rob ridicules the Democratic field for 2028 (Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, J.B. Pritzker), predicting none are electable in the post-Trump media landscape.

“Look at the loser patrol here. People who know nothing and have done nothing... dumb as a box of rocks without the rocks.” — Rob Carson [38:05]

---

Conclusion

The episode delivers Carson’s signature blend of humor and political commentary, with sharp jabs at the left for what he frames as manufactured outrage, performative politics, and unpopular radicalism. Both host and guest project Republican confidence for the coming election cycles thanks to enhanced ground games and a perceived mass awakening to blue state decline. The discussion is peppered with memorable one-liners, skepticism about therapy culture, and repeated jabs at Democratic leadership—entertaining and irreverent for a conservative audience.

[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. This is the Rob Carson Show. Last hour of the show today, man. A lot of big news happening and I would encourage you to listen to the podcast today. I dissected this wonderful article by Azra Namani about the inorganic rise of Zoran Mandami started in 2017. Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, once the darling of the Women's March. Remember that? When Donald Trump was inaugurated. And the Women's March with their pink meow meow hats and all that and all that nonsense. And we've been going through a bunch of nonsense temper tantrum since then from the left. And honestly, I'm done with. I'm just tired of it. It's time for the children to get a spanking. But yeah, she and Soros engineered Zoran Bond nami's Path to power. And it's based on radical Islam. And it even, it even comes to Virginia. Yeah, even comes to Virginia. Because some of that Soros money is helping to finance John Reed's opponent for Lieutenant governor. She's. She's a radical. She's a radical. And Virginia has three candidates that are very left of center running for governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the ag. These groups, sponsored by Lynn du Sarsau, are empowering M Rage along with the Democrat Socialists of America and the Democrat Party propel candidates. And they're pushing Mondami and Democrat candidate, Lieutenant governor candidate Ghazala Hajmi as its star candidates. And she is as left as it gets. And you know who else those groups are pushing? The very radical mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, a hotbed of radical Islam, Mayor Abdullah Hamoud. Good piece. It's called Inside the Mandami Machine. Soros cash socialists and radical imams engineered Zoran Mandami's path to power. It's all, it's all, you know, Astroturf. It's all nonsense is what the left is. You don't. Communists don't win elections. They steal elections and then they overthrow and take power. That's what they do. They never win elections by popular demand. Unless of course, they're absolutely a snow job, which is what Mondami is doing. He's trying to convince socialists. Oh, yeah, I'm going to give you a free stop. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, don't even worry about my radical Islamic guy, because you're not Islam, you're not a Jew. Don't worry about it. It's no big deal. It is. It is frightening what the left will fall for. Really, really is frightening that what the left will fall for. The other big story of the day, and this on Newsmax. Newsmax, by the way. Go to Newsmax. Newsmax has a hell of a news department. I'll just say that. House Oversight Committee, Biden's executive actions with the auto pin. Illegitimate. Illegitimate. 91 page report released today. Committee said its investigation found no record that Biden authorized several executive actions, including presidential pardons and commutations. I've been a chance to digest this entire article because, you see, I'm doing a radio show on a live stream right now, so it's kind of hard to do a lot of show prep while you're doing the show. It's a developing story, though. It's a developing story. Let's see what I got here. Oh, no, no, don't do that. No, no, no. I don't Want to do that. We talked about Gavin Newsom trying to be black. Of all the people trying to be black. My God in heaven, so funny. He's on this, he's on this show. What the hell's it called on this show? And I, I can't believe people fall for people like Gavin Newsom. I, I, you know, here he is. He, he's, he's comes from a privileged family. His daddy is a judge. He worked with the oil rich Getty family, among others. And he's on, on a show pretending to be black. Yesterday, it was also about paying the bills, man.

[Cliff Maloney]

And it was just like hustling.

[Rob Carson]

And, and so I was, listen, listen how he just drops Wonder Bread into the conversation. I had no idea. I guess Wonder Bread is a black thing. We just had it. And a lot of time we couldn't afford it. My mother would go to the Day old bread store. It's a place called the Day Old bread Store. And it was where you'd go after the Wonder Bread had passed its expiration. My mother bought a bunch of that. And then we put it in the freezer. And then in the Wonder Bread, you could get a sticker or a temporary tattoo. That was what we really wanted. We didn't care about the bread. And then it got too expensive. My mom just started making bread out there, kind of raising myself, turning on the tv. Started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with, you know, the wonder Bread. Sitting there with the Wonder Bread. He just dropped Wonder Bread out of nowhere. Just, just sitting there on the TV with the Wonder Bread, watching Alex Hazley's roots and collard greens boiling on the stove. Macaroni and cheese. Yg every day, every day in the.

[Cliff Maloney]

Backyard, just bouncing the basketball.

[Rob Carson]

Every year. Then I, then I would go out in the, back into the hood where I lived and I would bounce the basketball and shoot it into the hoop for points and slam dunk the basketball. Why do Democrats do this?

[Cliff Maloney]

Was it on my behalf?

[Rob Carson]

I don't understand it.

[Cliff Maloney]

Grace or recklessness to not raise the.

[Rob Carson]

Point with him about whether I was looking for, I was actually looking for Kamala Harris. Shifting accents, which is what Democrats do too. I love you back. I love you back. Hello to all my divine nine brothers and sisters and my Soros. You better thank a union member for.

[Cliff Maloney]

The five day work week.

[Rob Carson]

You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave.

[Cliff Maloney]

You better thank a union member for vacation time. Let's just get through the next 64 days.

[Rob Carson]

Glad she didn't become president. Thank God. Thank God. Listen to this. Democrats spiral in Virginia as Obama is slammed for campaigning against a black woman. I don't like talking about race, by the way. I don't. I don't at all. I grew up Gen Xer. We. We saw. You know, we were raised on Sesame street and Zoom and Electric Company. I thought Easy Reader was the coolest damn thing in the world. I thought Morgan Freeman is Easy Reader was the coolest thing in the world. I thought verb was verb was my first superhero verb. That's what's happening. I can order, like, go get it. And I watched the Globetrotters. Globetrotters. Oh, yeah. On Saturday mornings. I didn't think that they were black shows. I just thought them as shows. And then the Democrat party ushered in this division, even though my generation was like, what? What the. What, what? And. And now, you know, we. Now we. It's just ridiculous. It's just so, so damned ridiculous. But the Democrats spiral in Virginia as Obama is slammed for campaigning against a black woman. Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abby Abigail Spamberger was considered a runaway favorite from the state, but recent scandals and a lack of clear identity for her party are keeping alive the chances of her Republican rival. In the latest sign of peril, Barack Obama seen, parachuted in and will speak alongside. I think he actually rode in side saddle on a bike. You ever see him ride a bike? He rides a bike. Like, just, wow. Anyway, parachuted in and will speak alongside Spam Barger this Saturday as polls show Republican candidate Winsome Sears gaining ground. The former president decision to enter the fray has been criticized as hypocritical after he bluntly rebuked black men for not supporting Kamala Harris during the most recent general election campaign. He said, I watched. I watched Obama sit there. No, that's not him. I'm not doing it. I watched Obama sit there and chastise black men saying, y' all don't want to support this woman. But at the same time, turn around, go to Virginia and campaign against a real natural black woman. One local told TikTok Spamberger's campaign hit the skids earlier this month and left a mark, skid, mark this month after the party's nominees for attorney general, Jay Jones, was plunged into a scandal over text that he wished the death on a Republican speaker of the House of Representatives and his kids. Meanwhile, Earl Spears is gaining ground by campaigning for women's safety because, you know, Abigail Spamberger, she likes men to shower with little girls. Trans, the transgender Issue has been a lightning rod in the state after a convicted sex offender identifying a woman exposed himself in a Northern Virginia locker room. Here is, let me see. Oh, Winsome's ears. Here is Winsome's ears talking with Rob Finnerty on Newsmax about the desperation of the Spam Burger campaign.

[Cliff Maloney]

Barack Obama is going to be on the campaign trail with your opponent next weekend, three days before the election. Does the Obama magic still matter in a place like Virginia? You know what the Democrats are doing? They have called us back into session because they have the ability to do that. And when are they calling us back into session, Rob? On the very day that President Obama is supposed to show up. And all the days that he's here, it's me thereafter. And you have to ask yourself again, why?

[Rob Carson]

Because they see what the polls are showing.

[Cliff Maloney]

This is desperation tactics to support Abigail Spamberger.

[Rob Carson]

You got to watch how the ads have changed. And you know, because I live here in the area, I can see it. Gazella Hajmi had no ads on at all. Now we show that John Reed, the lieutenant governor, campaigning against her, his neck and neck or ahead of her. And all of a sudden they got a new ad campaign saying that, that John Reed wants to get rid of public schools altogether. Just out of nowhere. Just out of nowhere. And I mean, it is desperation. It is absolute desperation. And I got to tell you, I am not. So I'm not convinced at all that the Democrats are going to get the midterms. And I am very seriously doubting. I think you're going to see 1, 2, 3 in Virginia, hopefully. 1, 2, 3, governor, lieutenant governor at AG. I think Ciattarelli is going to win in New Jersey. He's right. He's. And people are excited about it because you know why? People are tired of living under the bullcrap of the Democrat Party. And it's not turning around because the Democratic Party hasn't learned anything from the midterms and the Democrat Party hasn't learned from what they did to us the last four years. And now they're trying to keep the government shut down so they can, you know, they wanted to get to the point where military was going to get their pay. And now we're coming up on a deadline this Friday of food stamps getting cut off. So they're looking at that as a, as a finish line to cross. That's the next miserable moment they can use against Donald Trump. And it's not working. And it's not working. And that's gonna trickle down. I know in Northern Virginia. Everybody's thinking it's because, you know, Donald Trump fired federal employees. That's gonna propel Democrats into office. Well, guess what? No, no, because there are so many other things that the Democrat Party has done wrong and to us that don't guarantee they're gonna stay in power. And then also just the insanity of the Democrat Party with boys being allowed to compete in girls, sports, etc. I think you may be surprised. In Northern Virginia. I hope so. I hope so. I hope we get a 1, 2, 3 in Virginia and in New Jersey. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is Rob Carson show, by the way, looking at some of the races that are happening not only next Tuesday, but midterms. Republican Steve Hilton leads the latest poll in California's governor race. The poll by Emerson College confirms the Golden State is a as left wing as ever. Fully support, 57% support Governor Gavin Newsom's proposal to gerrymander. Hilton, a conservative commentator, is leading the poll ahead of every major Democrat party candidate, including the super Karen, Representative Katie Porter, who is the most unlikable person you could possibly imagine. Hilton's lead is within the 3% margin of error. Maybe California is sick of the crap of the Democrats too. I mean, honestly, how often do you, how, how long do you have to live in misery and there sooner or later you can't. Like in Maryland, in Maryland right now, Maryland doesn't know that Maryland is like the frog in boiling water. You know, the people who live in Maryland that lived in Maryland a long time, like some of my ex friends who no longer my friends because I'm a Trump supporter, they are, they think that Maryland is great. They think it's wonderful. They don't notice the pot shop now in the strip mall and the pawn shop in the same strip mall and the overgrown medians with weeds and, and the, the mall that has been been closed down for a decade and is sitting there with graffiti on it. They don't notice it because they weren't dropped into the boiling water. They weren't dropped from out of Maryland into Maryland to see Maryland. But if you drive across the river in Virginia, you're like, holy crap. And this has happened all over the country. People are recognizing how bad the Democrat party is, by the way, owning gold and silver more critical than ever. Global financial markets are undergoing a profound transformation. And then the latest episode of Live from the Vault. John Lee, CEO of Silver Elephant Mining Co. Says that there is an urgent need to attain tangible assets that exist entirely outside of digital oversight. So everybody's looking for crypto and all that, but you know, good old fashioned analog gold and silver is what you need. And right now you've lucked out. Due to overwhelming demand for free silver, Birch Gold group has extended their current promotion through Veterans Day. You buy gold, you get free silver. It's surging in price, by the way. Gold is up 62% this year. Over 60% this year. Gold is for every $5,000 purchased from Birchgold by Veterans Day, Birch Gold will send you a free 1oz patriotic silver round that commemorates the Gasden and American flags. If you're watching and streaming, you can see it. It's real pretty, real pretty. Plus they'll send you that. And by the way, Birch Gold is waiving custodial fees for the first year on investments of any amount for current or former military. So get on the, get on the horn if you will and text my name Rob to 989-898. You'll get a free info kit to claim your eligibility for free silver and purchase before November 11th. Again, text my name Rob to 989898 and do it today for Birch Gold, if you would. I had mentioned this and I've been dying to cover this for a couple of days because you may recall when Kamala Harris was named the candidate for the Democrat party, I said that her constituency were crazy cul de sac dwelling Karens and their emasculated husbands. And I was absolutely right. I was absolutely right. And you see Karen, this is the year that Karen, we get rid of Karen. Karen has run roughshod over America very long time. She's a neighborhood busybody. She got involved in George Floyd's death by drug overdose and she got rid of police. Even though black people in inner cities are going, no, no, don't do that, don't do that. She's like, no, we got it, we got it. We got this covered. Let's get rid of Native American mascots. Let's get rid of the Dixie Chicks. Let's get rid of the Indian on the land and lakes butter. Let's get rid of speech. Let's get rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. That's what Karen did. Karen is a busybody. Karen thinks she knows better than you. And there is a psychologist, Jonathan Alpert, New York based mental health counselor. And he explains Karen. Here is Karen from the perspective of the no Kings protests. A list of all of the protests, by the way, who've been led since the pink P word hat in 2017.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Did say educated 40 something women. So you have to wonder just how educated they are if they think that our country is being run by a king. King. Clearly it's not. And we did over overthrow a king and celebrate Independence day every, every July 4th. So you do have to wonder how, how educated these women are. But you know, 40 something women, they're.

[Rob Carson]

Educated by MSNBC are probably the biggest.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Demographic of consumers of, of mental health services, probably 20s to 40s.

[Rob Carson]

Did you hear that? Generally those people are very susceptible. Right, let's hear that again. Let's hear that again about crazy liberal Karens.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Women are. But you know, 40 something women are probably the biggest demographic of consumers of mental health services, probably 20s to 40s. So they're quite fluent in learning how to express themselves, their emotions. So naturally that would play out on the, on the city streets during the New Kings protests. They're not shy about their hatred for Trump or concerns about the country. So that's part of what we're seeing play out. And the no Kings protests, from what I've seen in person and on tv.

[Rob Carson]

It seems it gives them affirmation and empowerment. Otherwise they would be nothing to me.

[Jonathan Alpert]

Like a big venting session and almost like a big group therapy. So people get stuff off their chest. They feel better in the moment, but it doesn't necessarily bring about any sort of positive change.

[Rob Carson]

And here is something interesting. Have you noticed that everybody's in therapy?

[Jonathan Alpert]

Therapy culture is fortunately a big part of the problem. We have therapists who are labeling people as traumatized or he's a narcissist or she's borderline. And this is, this gets out into the ethos of our society and people start to believe it. Well, of course he's a narcissist or of course she's borderline, when in fact they're not. There's, there are certain criteria that need to be met clinically for that person to be diagnosed as that.

[Rob Carson]

But how does that translate into hating Donald Trump?

[Jonathan Alpert]

A lot of the participants that I've seen at these rallies will claim that they're traumatized. They have PTSD from Trump being in office. They're not traumatized. They don't have ptsd. Those are actual clinical mental health terms and probably not feeling real PTSD as a result of the president. A lot of times people are unhappy in their own lives. They may have their own issues that they're dealing with, whether it's anxiety or anger, and they like to cast that onto others or project it onto others. And I think that's partially what we see playing out at these no Kings rallies.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. It's about people who feel, empower and, and feel like they're victims. And you combine that with the therapy culture and, and liberalism and, and susceptibility to, to mania, you get, you get crazy Karens. Yeah, that's what the no Kings protest is. That's your Democrat party. They're being steered by that. Oh, I'm very offended. Well, good. I hope so. That's fantastic. It's America for God's sake. Take a break and come back. Fact, this is the Rob Carson show. Buy gold and get. Hey guys, it's Carson. Not proud member of the 4:00am Club. You know what that is?

I'm doing great out here in Jersey. Just trying to put us over the finish line but appreciate you having me on, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

Oh dude, glad to do it. So how's the momentum, cuz? Brother, I could feel It. Donald Trump's getting victories. The Democrat Party is caterwauling, throwing no kings protests and all of this nonsense. And I think the American people see right through it.

[Cliff Maloney]

Yeah, you're 100% spot on. I mean, listen, Mikey Sherrill versus Jack Cittarelli. You cannot have a better dichotomy, Jack. I mean, the guy looks like a governor. He connects. He's a great guy working a crowd. He's just. He's just a real dude. And you've got Mikey Sherrill. She's like the Kamala Harris of New Jersey.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Cliff Maloney]

The more time she spends with voters, the more votes she loses. And so we're out here on the ground. We've got 105 people chasing ballots as part of the New Jersey chase program. And look, we're trying to hit 500,000 doors by Tuesday.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Cliff Maloney]

Happy to report on your show, Rob. We are over 410,000. And we're loving what we're saying.

[Rob Carson]

Dude, this. This almost dwarfs the. The traditional ground game. That. And normally the Democrats own this stuff. This is pretty remarkable, man.

[Cliff Maloney]

Yeah. And look, I've said this on your show before. We didn't create this tactic.

[Rob Carson]

Right.

[Cliff Maloney]

I'm just fighting fire with fire and beating Democrats at their own game. Right. We're not them when it comes to actual raw votes. But what they're not used to, Rob, is we compete. Right? We're competing. We're fighting fire with fire.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Cliff Maloney]

And they hate when they see our teams come out on the ground because they're not used to. To having Republicans try to challenge them there. They're used to dominating the ground game.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Cliff Maloney]

As of 2024, that's over. Republicans are gonna chase ballots and harvest ballots. When it's legal in every single election, we must do it.

[Rob Carson]

Well, dude, I've been following this forever. I remember when Barack Obama was running and there were Black Panthers standing outside of polling places in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania is known for this. I know you're working in Pennsylvania. New Jersey, the same thing. And now you've got Harmeet Dillon. She's going to put the election monitor. We can actually watch. The Democrat Party's trying to keep them out. The Democrat Party is fighting tooth and nail on this. And so it looks like in places like New Jersey and Pennsylvania where elections have been, I mean, let's face it, not terribly fair when it comes to Republicans. Give me a frigging break. You combine that with a ground game. You provide. Combine that with no more media dominance by the left. This is spelling a lot of trouble for the Democrat Party, Cliff. Yeah.

[Cliff Maloney]

And here's the part that is hilarious is the Democrats try to act like this is some sort of new thing for the DOJ to send in folks to monitor these polling locations. This has been going on for decades. Obama did it, Trump's done it, Biden's done it. This is not something new. And even last year in 2024, they passed the Cocoa act, which was that this is a congressional level saying that congressional staffers have rights to be able to go in, not to try to tamper with anything, but to have secure elections. And what I don't understand from the left is why is there this huge push against making sure that Americans and the voters are confident in a result of the election? So they can keep screaming, we're going to focus on just playing by the rules, but we're going to chase as many ballots as we can through our groups at Citizens alliance and that's why New Jersey and Pennsylvania will remain targeted. And the left hates it, but I don't care. We're going to double down.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And you know, the left in this country, they're seeing their doom. They're seeing it in places like Chicago, in places like Memphis, in places like Washington D.C. washington D.C. i just moved here about four months ago. Two weeks in. Donald Trump federalizes law enforcement. Now, it is a totally safe city. We've seen violent crime drop in Memphis, 50%. The reason why J.D. pritzker and Brandon Johnson want Donald Trump not in Chicago is because they want to keep those seats of power. Because agrarian states like Pennsylvania are dominated by liberal Democrat run bastions like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. When the rest of the, if those, if those cities fall, then the states become Republican, don't they?

[Cliff Maloney]

Yeah. And listen, I was on Newsmax with Chris Salsada and I said the same thing. I said, listen, we have to fight. Where is the fight? Where is the energy? The left always goes to war tonight. I don't want to say spin the rules, but within the power that they have, they're not afraid of being called racist. They're not afraid of being called a fascist just because they want to actually utilize the rules to set up districts that put them in the best position. The left been doing this for years. It's time for us to do this. And let me just say this, Rob. When it comes to New Jersey specifically. Yeah, right. I'm looking at the data every single day. And what you just said is right. The left, when it comes to crime, when it comes to all these things that are Turning off the American people. It doesn't matter if Republicans stay home. Right now In New Jersey, 183,000 Republicans requested a mail in ballot and only 100,000 sent back. What does that mean? That means 83,000 Republicans are sitting with a ballot on their dining room table. That's what this next week is about. Either take your ballot and go early vote. Make a plan to vote on election day if you don't have a ballot, but if you've got a ballot, get that ballot in. That's what we're working on. It's Jchase.com if anybody wants to come to Jersey, if they want to help on the ground, they want to sponsor a ballot chaser. Those 83,000 could be the difference between flipping New Jersey in a historic way.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you know I was thinking because I, I lived in Maryland for a dozen years, then I moved to Kansas City, then I moved back to the D.C. area and I said there's no freaking way I would live in Maryland. Maryland again. Maryland is right now experiencing negative economic growth. Two million people have left Maryland the last 10 years. Maryland is the last in the country for economic growth of all the states. And the people in Maryland, a lot of the liberals, they don't. It's that frog in boiling water thing. And the same goes with New Jersey. New Jersey people are subjected to the highest utility prices, the highest property tax rates because the water has slowly boiled while they live there and they don't raise. Recognize how much better things are in Republican run states. Would you find that to be the truth? Yeah.

[Cliff Maloney]

And look at where New Jersey is geographically. What a beautiful state. What a state with so much opportunity. I'll tell you this, I don't know how public I should be about this but a lot of the people that I meet with that chip in a couple hundred or a couple thousand bucks to sponsor our ballot chasers. I probably had 12 business owners, small business owners that have told me if Jack Cittarelli does not win this governor's race, they are pulling their entire business and getting out of docs.

[Rob Carson]

I don't blame them.

[Cliff Maloney]

Not sustainable. The tax rates, all of these regulations, I mean they're the most anti business, anti opportunity state but they have so much opportunity. So this is such a moment to try to turn Jersey back around.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I would. Can you hold on through the break because I'd like to talk to you about a couple other races. I'd like to get your thoughts on Virginia. I'd like to know what's going on in Pennsylvania. And I'd also like your thoughts on Z and all of the things we found. Can you hold on through the break, my friend?

[Cliff Maloney]

You got me, sir.

[Rob Carson]

All right, bro. This is a Cliff Maloney CEO, Citizens alliance on the ground in New Jersey, where Jack Cittarelli will be the next governor, God willing. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Little Chris Stapleton for you. Cliff Maloney is the CEO of the Citizens Alliance. He's on the ground in New Jersey trying to get Jack Citarelli elected to governor. He had a very tight race previously when he ran, and I can't imagine that he has slipped any. In fact, with the ground game and the enthusiasm, I think, for what he's preaching and obviously the poor quality of life in New Jersey caused by Democrat policies. We'll see if it pushes him over the edge. Cliff Maloney, what have you heard about polling lately in New Jersey? I heard it was neck and neighborhood neck.

[Cliff Maloney]

Oh, it's. It's tight. It is extremely tight. I mean, this is something that I tell people, you know, if you would ask me six months ago where this race is compared to where it is now, I mean, this is competitive and this is Jersey. So for somebody to be in this position, I mean, I'm grateful that Jack has made the gains he had. Look, I'm not saying this is going to be a win. Right. I'm not here to say, oh, it's guaranteed.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Cliff Maloney]

What I'm here to say is Jack Cittarelli is competitive. His opponent is just flailing. I love where we're at right now, but it's going to take one thing. Republicans have to vote. We've seen polling as close as tied at 43, 43. We've had 47, 46. This is a neck and neck race. And so if it comes a turnout battle in a state that no Republican should be winning.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah. The. The race in Virginia. I just moved to Virginia about four months ago. You've got three big races. You got governor, lieutenant Governor and ag. The ag Obviously, obviously, Jason Miaris is way ahead of Jay Jones because of some texts that showed up with regard to wanting to murder an opponent and the children of the opponent. You've got the Lieutenant Governor, John Reed, neck and neck with a very radical leftist woman. Now we're finding out, according to Azran Omani in a new piece for Fox News, that she is funded by the same people who are funding Mandami, and that includes George Soros money. This is not organic. This is not an organic candidacy. It is a candidacy that was started years ago. It isn't about changing people's lives. It's about putting people in power who want to fundamentally change cities and states and all of that. Then, of course, we also see the governor's race with winsome Earl Sirius and Abigail Spamberger. And Virginia is. You call it a purple state, I guess, but there seems to be momentum going here toward the Republicans on all three counts. What say you?

[Cliff Maloney]

Yeah, look, these text messages are horrific, right? And the fact that it's 2025 and there is a candidate running who threatened to not only shoot one of his political opponents, but dreamed of shooting the opponent's kids, that is insane. And these Democrats will not denounce the candidate. They will not ask for this guy to stop running. And that's because this is not about the actual merits of a political race. This is about power. Right? And Democrats take politics as business. It is a business. And look, Spamberger, the governor candidate, I got to tell you guys, I ran a candidate against her. Nick Freitas, a great patriot, ran against her for Congress a couple years ago. She is an excellent maniacal politician. He's been on every side of every issue. She refuses to denounce this Jay Jones character. These are going to be tight races. I feel very good about the aggressive race. I'm feeling pretty good about the Lieutenant Governor race. But the governor's race is going to be difficult. It take a lot of people in Northern Virginia, where you've got different pockets of Republicans that need to show up, and obviously the rest of the state, it's very red. You know, it's got to get there. And look, it's not just the governor's race. We've got to take back the House of Delegates. I mean, they're down by one vote, and a lot of these races are competitive. So it's an exciting year. There's a lot of opportunity. I think we're going to see national where things are going and where things are trending. But in none of these races do I feel like we don't have a shot.

[Rubrik AI Announcer]

Maybe.

[Cliff Maloney]

Except the New York mayoral race.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Is that now? I was going to ask you about that next. You know, I. When, when. When he won the. The primary and Mondiman became the candidate, I had doubts whether or not he could be elected. I. I'm still. I'm still not convinced he is going to win. They're very convinced. Was 20 points. Now it's 10 points, you know, but. But I. I I'm not giving up hope. I'm really not. I'm hoping that as we discover more things about his radicalism, that people will snap out of it. So I'm not giving up on that race yet. I'm not. What about you?

[Cliff Maloney]

Look, I think that we all should hope that people will stand against a self avowed socialist. The problem is political or electoral reality. A little while ago, you know, I talked to some people that asked me, hey, would we do a door program in New York City? You know, we cannot have a socialist running a America's financial capital, right? And I said to them the same thing I'm going to say to your audience here, Rob. The political reality is that you would need to get Adams, Cuomo and Sliwa together in a room and they'd have to come out and they'd have to back one person and we just never got there. Right. You know, you've got Sliwa, Adams got out. But the numbers are tough. And here's the problem. You know, people wonder how AOC gets elected. People wonder how some of these other crazy politics politicians get elected. And the reality is in these Democrat strongholds, the voters are not walking in and looking at a name on the ballot. They're walking in, they're looking at the party and they're voting that way. Political animals like you and me and your entire audience here, I'm not talking about people like that that are paying attention, that are looped in to what's going on. But unfortunately a lot of voters, there's some on the right to, we're busy, they're trying to put food on the table, take their, the basketball practice. But that's how you end up with a socialist. Because the numbers, the path for him to not win. I'm with you. I hope something happens. Enough people say listen too much, but the odds are we have a socialist as the next New York City mayor.

[Rob Carson]

By the way, I, I was on a call the other day and Scott Pressler is working in Virginia. That's a good sign. Pressler is a brilliant, one of the hardest working people I've ever seen with a ground game. He's done a lot of stuff in Pennsylvania. Hopefully, maybe Doug Mastroianna will run again for governor and win. We'll see. We'll see. I got to know Doug. But you know, I'm hoping that America is beginning to wake up to the Democrat Party and the damage that they've caused and they offer no solutions. And I just want to say I wish you the very best how could people help out in New Jersey? Cliff Maloney, among other places.

[Cliff Maloney]

Yeah, listen, I appreciate the time as always. Look, Scott Presser, one of our top partners, as we say, Scott registers the voters so I can get door to door and chase down their ballots. Look, if folks want to step up, now is the time. We got to get this thing fully funded, add some bodies on the ground. NJChase.com that's NJChase.com and you can follow all of our updates on X following my account at Maloney. That's at Maloney and NJ. Chef Chase.com love being able to come on and give an update.

[Rob Carson]

We're good.

[Cliff Maloney]

500,000 doors. I appreciate you, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

Thanks for all your work, brother. I do not. I don't do nothing. You do it all. I appreciate you. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. A Democrat party does not have a deep bench in 2028. You know who's leading the Democrat pack? Pete Booty Gig. Pete Booty Gig. The transportation. Transportation secretary who was afraid of transportation. He was transphobic. He didn't get anything done. He's leading as a presidential front front runner because, you know, he's Pete Booty Gig. Anyways, topping California Governor Gavin Newsom. I mean, look at the loser loser patrol here. People who know nothing and have done nothing. Booty Gig. Gavin Newsom as fake as his veneers. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who's dumb as a box of rocks without the rocks. And Kamala Harris, who has no chance of winning at all. Bernie Sanders gets 8% support. JB Pritzker is at 6%. None of these people are electable. They aren't. They aren't. Because the butt is off the rose and they don't own the media anymore and they can't cheat on the elections anymore. And they got, they're not going to have the mail in votes that they want. Here's Harmony Harmeet Dhillon talking about what she's doing to ensure election integrity.

[Cliff Maloney]

A reminder of what we're doing in election integrity in this doj. It's really historic. We have sued eight states in the Civil Rights Division to enforce our federal.

[Rob Carson]

Voting rights laws, including the Health America.

[Cliff Maloney]

Vote Act, NBRA and others. We filed a landmark amicus brief in the Supreme Court regarding the Voting Rights Act.

[Rob Carson]

I'm really proud to have co authored that and have my name on all.

[Cliff Maloney]

These other cases as well. We are sending election monitors into states that are requesting it for the upcoming.

[Rob Carson]

Why are Democrats, you know, afraid of that? Because they know they cheat. They know they cheat. Duh. Come on, give me a frickin break. Unbelievable. Due to overwhelming demand for silver from Birch Gold Group, they have extended their current promotion through Veterans Day. Here's the deal. You buy gold, get free. Silver happens to be surging in price for every $5,000 from Birch Cold. I'm gonna show you this coin. You get free ounce, 1 ounce patriotic silver round that commemorates the Gasden and American flags. I carry mine in my pocket in this little velvet pouch. Look on the social media stream. You can see it in there. Pretty. Look at that. Yeah, gold is up 60% this year. I just called Birch again because I got a little extra from the divorce that I'm going to invest in Birch Gold. I'm doing it because Birch is rocking, gold is rocking. Precious metals are rocking. And I believe in Birch gold. That's why they have made money. Money. All right. So they'll send you a free silver honoring the veterans. And if you're a current or former military, Birch Gold is waiving custodial fees for the first year of any investment of any amount. So text my name, Rob to 989898 for Birch Gold. Rob to 989898. Buy gold, get free silver right now. But it ends November 11th. Text 989898 my name, Rob to 989-898 for Burch Gold. That's gonna do it for the show. Holy cow. Crud. What a show. I have a funny feeling some of these seeds we planted today with this auto pen stuff, they're going to bloom into massive stories tomorrow on the show. So in the meantime, check out the podcast. Today was a hot one. Please listen to it. Subscribe the usual podcast platforms at Rob Carson show. God bless you, America's founded Donald Trump and the good he's doing for this nation. And until tomorrow, which is Wednesday, don't catch the stupid. I'll see you then. Foreign.
