About this episode

Rob Carson shares stories from his first week at Newsmax, discusses socialism in America, and features insights from China expert Gordon Chang.

-Rob shares behind-the-scenes stories from his first week broadcasting inside Newsmax's Washington studios, joking about handing Dr. Oz a "Don't Catch the Stupid" T-shirt while rubbing elbows with Mark Meadows, Rick Santorum and Nick Shirley without losing his "wide-eyed kid from Iowa" perspective.  -Chuck Schumer becomes the unexpected star of the show after an alleged hot-mic "Capitol Hill toot," prompting Rob to conduct a full-blown forensic audio investigation worthy of a crime lab— and far less dignified. -China expert Gordon Chang warns that America's growing socialist movement mirrors tactics used by communist regimes, discusses China's influence on U.S. politics, explains the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Christians, and details why China's slowing economy could signal deeper trouble for Beijing. -Rob unloads on the Democratic Socialists of America, comparing their platform to a declaration of war against the Constitution while insisting America's "hillbillies, homeboys and Hebrews" aren't about to surrender the country without a fight.
