On air and on the World Wide Web, this is the Rob Carson Show.

This is our number three of the Rob Carson Show.

Welcome to it.

We have much to get to as the show progresses.

Matt Schlapp.

Chairman of CPAC is going to talk to us at the bottom of the hour.

I'm really looking forward to talking to Matt.

I live in the area where CPAC headquarters is, and it is a thrill to be a part of this organization,

a dynamic and incredible organization, a truly conservative organization that's been around for a number of years. He and his wife, Mercy, they call her Mercy, Mercedes, have built this wonderful organization. We're going to talk to him about CPACs coming up, by the way, in March. Hopefully we will be there. We will see how it works out.

But I would love to be there. I came here last year. It was in Washington, D.C. and we had a hell of a time, by the way. And I met a lot of really cool people, and I hope we can do that as well. And bring you the sights and sounds of it. Have a little bit of fun. fun uh you know a lot of shows you just do the issues and interviews and all that we try to have a

little bit of fun. You know, a lot of shows. You just do the issues and interviews and all that. We try to have a little bit of fun. That's what we do. Donald Trump

yesterday, apparently Spain didn't want to help us out. So he said to Spain, Donald Trump,

said, we're not going to trade with you anymore. To cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain, first of all, it started when every European nation, at my request, paid 5%, which

they should be doing.

And everybody was enthusiastic about it, Germany, everybody, and Spain didn't do it.

And now Spain actually said that we can't use their bases, and that's not all, we can use their base. If we were we could just fly in and use it. Yeah, there you go. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it. But we don't have to, but they were unfriendly. And so I told him that we don't want to do. Spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people. They have great people. It's true. but they don't want to do it spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people they have great people but they don't have great leadership and as you know they were the

only country that in nato would not agree to go up to five percent so donald trump said we're

going to cut off all trade with you that's what he did he said we're going to cut off trade and

guess what train spain did? They changed their mind.

With respect to Spain, I think they heard the president's message yesterday loud and clear.
