Rob Carson tore into the left’s latest attempts to rewrite common sense on his Feb. 5 shows, reminding Americans that real voters smell the same political rot whether it’s coming from Foggy Bottom or Parliament Hill. He hosted Canadian correspondent Michael Charbon and others to shine a bright light on an alarming trend: Western elites believing they have the right to disarm law-abiding citizens while failing to stop the real criminals.
What Canadians are calling a so‑called “buyback” is not some sleepy policy tweak; it’s a sweeping confiscation plan launched by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government that threatens hunters, sportsmen, and lawful owners while doing nothing to seal porous borders. Citizens should be alarmed that Ottawa is prioritizing optics and bureaucratic virtue signaling over smarter investments in border security and crime control.
Conservative commentators on the show hammered the point that this is classic political theater: spend hundreds of millions, insult lawful owners, and pretend you’ve fixed crime when the real problem is illegal guns flowing across borders. Think tanks and provincial officials have publicly warned the program is costly, impractical, and won’t touch the criminal supply chain — yet the federal machine barrels ahead. That’s not leadership; it’s a cash‑burning stunt that betrays taxpayers and surrenders safety for headlines.
Liz Collin’s on‑the‑ground reporting from Minneapolis painted a city hollowed out by soft governance and politicized enforcement, where even something as mundane as a liquor license becomes a battleground for woke bureaucrats. The real outrage is that mayors and activist judges seem more interested in virtue displays than in protecting honest business owners and residents from the swirl of fraud and open‑border chaos. Minnesotans deserve leaders who back the rule of law, not performative handwringing when ICE enforces immigration laws.
Rob and his guests rightly celebrated Senator Eric Schmitt for calling out a George Soros‑funded NGO that has enjoyed outsized influence and soft funding while attacking the integrity of American institutions. When conservative senators start naming names and forcing accountability, you watch the narrative shift — because transparency and the rule of law beat back the old media’s protection racket. That moment on the show underscored a larger truth: the swamp’s favored NGOs must answer for their role in distorting civic life.
The implosion of legacy media got the roasting it deserves; Carson was unrepentant in mocking the Washington Post’s shrinking relevance and the industry’s retreat into opinionated advocacy masquerading as objective reporting. Journalism isn’t dying because people no longer want news — it’s dying because institutions chose power over truth, and conservative outlets and citizen journalists are filling the void with real reporting. America needs watchdogs, not PR shops for partisan elites.
Finally, the national security segment with Morgan Murphy reminded listeners that seriousness on the world stage still matters — and that reckless posturing around carriers, drones, and adversaries is a recipe for disaster. Robust deterrence, clear red lines, and competent leadership are what keep American sailors and taxpayers safe, not hollow gestures or woke signal‑beating. Watchdogs at home and strength abroad: that’s the conservative prescription coming through loud and clear on Rob Carson’s program.
