The Dave Carter Show

In this powerful episode of the Dave Carter Show, Dave sits down with Bay County Commissioner candidate Brian Rust to hear his common-sense vision for the county’s future. He details practical strategies for job creation and workforce development that put Bay County families first, while exposing the bureaucratic red tape that has slowed infrastructure projects to a glacial pace. Brian makes a compelling case for aggressive government reform designed to cut delays, reduce costs, and deliver results for taxpayers instead of special interests. As a candidate who refuses to be bought, Brian is facing an all-too-familiar reality in local politics: monied elites, entrenched special interests, and county kingmakers are working behind the scenes to starve his campaign of resources. Unable to defeat his ideas in open debate, they’ve chosen financial suppression instead. Brian explains why this fight matters far beyond Bay County — because voters everywhere deserve to hear what genuine independence sounds like in today’s highly charged political environment.Whether you live in Bay County or simply want to see what principled, voter-first leadership looks like, this episode delivers a refreshing dose of straight talk and actionable solutions. Tune in to hear why Brian Rust believes common sense still has a place in government — and why the establishment is so determined to silence it.

In this heartfelt episode of The Dave Carter Show, host Dave Carter sits down with Lawrence Perelman—a gifted musicia and author of a the new book, "American Impresario, William F. Buckley and the Elements of American Character.  Mr. Perelman is the Founder and CEO of Semantix Creative Group, and a passionate advocate for classical music and Western cultural heritage.As a young man, Perelman formed a remarkable friendship with the legendary William F. Buckley Jr., who became both mentor and close friend after a simple thank-you letter sparked an enduring bond. Perelman shares intimate stories of Buckley’s deep love for classical music and his commitment to the enduring values of Western civilization. Listeners will be moved by Perelman’s account of their final remarkable conversation—the very evening before Buckley’s passing—and how that friendship continues to shape his life’s work today. Through his leadership at Semantix Creative Group and other initiatives, Perelman carries forward Buckley’s vision by ensuring classical music reaches and inspires new generations.Join us for a rich, reflective conversation that celebrates mentorship, cultural preservation, and the timeless power of music and friendship.

In this hard-hitting episode of The Dave Carter Show, I sit down with Panama City native and successful businessman Keith Gross, who is running for Congress in Florida’s 2nd Congressional District. Keith grew up in a single-parent home in the Panhandle, put himself through school through sheer grit, and built a multiple highly successful businesses as an entrepreneur who creates real jobs right here at home.What sets Keith apart from the typical Washington crowd is simple and refreshing: he’s self-funding his campaign and has pledged to donate his entire congressional salary to charity. With the financial puppet strings cut, he cannot be bought by special interests or the donor class. As I told him on the show—it’s about bloody time someone in office actually puts the interests of the voters over the whims of monied elites.Keith’s platform is straightforward and desperately needed: Cut wasteful spending, fight inflation head-on, restore affordability for working families, and ensure government sticks to its essential role—protecting the lives, liberty, and freedoms of American citizens instead of subjecting them to the arbitrary rule of micromanaging bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. This is a conversation with a true outsider who understands the American Dream because he has lived it, and who refuses to sell out the people of the Florida Panhandle or this country.Catch the full no-holds-barred interview now on davecartershow.com, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. If you’re tired of politicians who talk a big game but answer to donors instead of voters, this episode is for you.

This episode of The Dave Carter Show features an in-depth, no-holds-barred conversation with my good friend and fellow talk radio veteran Brian Rust, the longtime host of The Brian Rust Show who's now stepping boldly into the political arena as a candidate for Bay County Commissioner, District 4. Brian isn't your typical politician—he's a reluctant candidate who decided to run not for personal gain or power, but because he believes he can actually make a real difference for the people of Bay County. As he puts it so bluntly (in true Brian fashion), it's time to say "Knock it off!" to the endless cycle of business as usual, donor-driven decisions, and government that moves at a snail's pace while life races ahead. This episode dives straight into why a successful conservative broadcaster with over three decades on the air is putting his money where his mouth is and running for office—to serve the folks who've had enough of excuses and delays.We cover Brian's practical, common-sense platform head-on: building a top-tier workforce through targeted training programs that attract quality companies to Bay County and create good-paying jobs right here at home; overhauling infrastructure so projects finally get done on time and on budget—no more triple-the-deadline disasters wasting taxpayer dollars; championing small businesses so they can thrive and grow without drowning in red tape; and revitalizing tourism with a firm commitment to making Spring Break safe again for families, visitors, and locals alike.Brian's vision is clear: government must keep pace with real life in Bay County, from the beaches to the northern borders, making it the best place in America to call home. If you're tired of polished promises and ready for flat-footed truth from someone who's spent years calling out nonsense on the radio, this episode is a must-listen.Catch the full interview now on davecartershow.com, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows.

In this "must-listen" episode of The Dave Carter Show, Dave talks with writer, firearms expert, and author Kevin Creighton about his newly published novel, "Salvation." Mr. Creighton goes into vivid detail with us, describing how the book weaves the story of retired Army Ranger and bodyguard John Rogers, a man who prefers the quiet life but is drawn back in a darker reality when he's asked to employ his skills to safeguard more gentle souls on a mission of mercy. Author Kevin Creighton employs is extensive knowledge not only of firearms, but of special operations skillsets and tactics. As Dave described it, "This book is like Tom Clancy meets the New Testament." Written in a first person narrarative that sees every detail through keen eyes of John Rogers, the book grabs the reader's attention from the first page all the way through to the edge-of-your-seat conclusion.  Spend a half hour with Dave and Mr. Creighton, and you'll come away with insights on the human condition, elite military operators, and the quest for redemption.  Oh yes, and as is the case with every episode of The Dave Carter Show, there are laughs aplenty as well.

Brian shares his thoughts on the situation and how President Trump might be able to weather the storm. The conversation also touches on continuing war being waged against the President by district court judges, the ongoing performative theatrics of a downsized State Department, and how to apply Mark Steyn's definition of civilization to America. A wide array of topics are discussed in this very engaging conversation!And don't forget to check out The Dave Carter Show on Rumble!

Dave welcomes comedian David Deeble for a much needed dose of laughs and a reminder of the old adage that comedy reminds you things you already knew, but forgot to laugh at the first time. Mr. Deeble has performed all over the world, and appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "The Late Late Show", "Last Comic Standing", "CBS This Morning" and A & E network’s "Ante Up!" and many other venues. Relax and enjoy a laugh as Dave and David compare notes and share plenty of giggles.

This episode marks Dave's debut on Rumble with a full audio/video presentation.  To mark the occasional, Dave had the honor of hosting and interviewing Dr. Stanley Ridgley about his brand new book, "DEI Exposed; How The Biggest Con Of The Century Almost Toppled Higher Education." Professor Ridgley's book is meticulously sourced to the tune of 599 footnotes, copious original source documentation, and more information than could possibly be contained in a single interview.  As Dave said, "It's like trying to extract a singe teaspoon of water from Niagra Falls." As the conversation unfolds, we are learn of everything about the academic ecosystem that allows fraudsters to gain a veneer of academic credibility with which to wreck higher education from within. The book also contains the practical implications of DEI, including the story of Oceangate, whose CEO advertised that 50 year-old submarine veterans need not apply in the construction and operation of the Titan submarine, which was to explore the Titanic on the ocean floor - the result being that sub imploded some 12,500 feet down into the Atlantic, killing the four occupants instantly.  It's a fascinating conversation in a fascinating new chapter of The Dave Carter Show!

In this politics-free episode of the show, Dave invites podcaster and Certified Childbirth Educator & Coach, Katherine Stephens onto the program to discuss all things maternal. As fate would have it, Katherine is Dave's neice, but most importantly she is a devoted mom to her five children, which has helped her become something of an authority on childbirth, both of the natural and Cesarian variety.  Her website, made4birth.com, offers a wealth of information for expectant moms on what to anticipate  before, during, and after the birth of a child, as does her rapidly growing podcast, "Made for Birth, the VBAC Podcast for Birth After Cesarian" (heard on Apple Podcast, Amazon Podcast, Podcast Republic, and Audible, among other platforms.  Katherine's own experience has ignited a heartfelt passion to support moms navigate the birth experience, prompting her to become a Cerfied Doula in order to provide moms with continual emotional, physical, and informational support.  She is also a Certified Birth and Newborn Photographer. As Katherine's website explains, "Your experience matters. You were made for birth. Walk through it with confidence." And guys, there is some much-needed information for you in this episode as well, as Katherine goes into detail about Post Partum Depression, her own experience, and what you can do to help your spouse through the process.  Finally, Dave addresses the show's addition of nonpolitical topics to the already brimming list of political and cultural topics he addresses.  It doesn't have to be either/or, so look a touch of variety to the program in addition a video and live-stream dimension coming soon. "It's a fun time to be behind the mic," Dave said, adding, "we're going to engage the audience on mulitple levels with multiple topics."  Stay tuned.... 

Every topic from Gaza to Russia/Ukraine, and from Immigration to DOGE and progressive hysteria are on the table as Dave welcomes NewsTalk101's extraordinary host Brian Rust back to the program to catch up on the whirlwind that is Trump 2.0. Trying to keep up with the sheer pace of events is like aging in dog years these days, but Mr. Rust is up to the task, as he fields questions on just about every conceivable topic.  Even a glitch a techinical glitch couldn't stop Dave and Brian from exploring the issues and having a good many laughs in the process.  Dave also has an announcement to make about his writings and, as ever, more can be found at his website. Tune in for the conversation and stay for the giggles, as there is a bit of everything in this episode.  

In this episode, Dave sits down with Ricochet's own Dr. Bastiat for free-wheeling discussion on everything from why progressives insist on loudly advocating for policies that don't work (e.g., a lack of border enforcement, lack of adequate policing, a revolving door justice system, anemic defense foreign policy that invites aggression, etc). Is the Democrat party really anti-American? Dr. Bastiat also explains why Joe Biden may actually have been the most successful in history.  Along the way, Dave discusses the left's currently meltdown over President Trump's rapid deportation of violent illegals from American soil. Getting a bit spun up, Dave doesn't stop until he's calling for at least some of these predators to be shipped to Pope Francis himself!  It's a fast-paced episode, and a rivetting conversation between Dave and Dr. Bastiat.  This is one you won't want to miss. (To learn more about Dave's show and his writings, visit his website right here.)

In light of the Senate Comfirmation Hearing for Pete Hegseth to be the next Secretary of Defense, it's a perfect time for Dave to talk with fellow vetern and American Thinker writer Mike McDaniel about his recent column, "Does DEI Require Starving Our Troops?" Mr. McDaniel discusses the severe shortage of food for the enlisted force at places such as Fort Hood (currently known as Fort Cavasos), a 335 square mile installation consisting of over 200,000 personnel, where only two of the base's 10 chow halls were open daily during the summer months. This required over an hour's trip by troops just to get lunch during the duty day.  Meanwhile, at Fort Carson, one soldier posted a photo of his dinner at the chow hall, which consisted of a single serving of lima beans and a half-piece of toast.  As Mr. McDaniel and Dave both observed, this is what happens when limited resources and manhours are spent on "boutique causes" like DEI training and the infusion of Critical Race Theory throughout the Armed Forces rather than maintaining the military's focus on the core mission of being the most effective and lethal fighting force on the planet. This is a conversation you don't want to miss. This episode all features some thoughts on the dumpster fires that the outgoing Biden administration is lighting for the American people on their way out the door. Oh yes, and Dave is a tad giddy over some new devlopments (artwork, music, a new microphone and upcoming improvements) for the podcast, ...and he won't stop talking about them. Don't say you weren't warned...

On this special "politics-free" edition of the show, Dave welcomes longtime friend and amazing writer Jenna Stocker to talk all things Christmas. As the conversation unfolds, Jenna shares stories from her own childhood Christmases and talks about the traditions and values she is imparting to her own children in the hope that they will hold on to the memories and the lessons that will enrich their young lives beyond measure. It's a heartwarming podcast that also includes a touch of mischief before concluding with a rather poignant essay Dave wrote on Christmas Eve 2011, from the cab of his 18 wheeler at a truck stop on a distant highway. Laughs, poetic memories and an homage to the meaning of Christmas make episode well worth listening to. Merry Christmas! 

It's been an amazing and radiant weekend as Ricochet people from as far away as Califorian and Michigan arrived in Panama City Beach, Florida for a meetup and a show. Though all good things must come to an end, the warmth of genuine friendships and exhilarating conversation that infused the gathering remains in the minds and hearts of the attendees.  To make matters even more interesting, our own Dave Carter teamed up with NewsTalk@101FM's powerhouse host, Brian Rust, to record a special edition of the Dave Carter Show for Ricochet and Talk Radio listeners alike at the resplendent Harrison's Kitchen & Bar in downtown Panama City. Highlights of the show included compelling interviews with local historian Bob Hurst, Ricochet Member and military historian Brady Kiel, and Ricochet Contributor Susan Quinn. As Dave and Brian talked with their guests, the conversation explored the vital links between an unflenching knowledge of history, the willingness to apply that knowledge to all aspects of civil society from education to national defense, and the critical necessity of carrying an historical perspective, as opposed to the latest ideological fads, into the voting booth.  As you might expect, Dave and Brian punctuated the show with generous servings of laughs and good spirits, making the event quite compelling and mischievously entertaining as you will hear for yourself in this high-energy, captivating, rollicking and live edition of the Dave Carter Show 

Election 2024 resulted in a seismic shift in American politics. It turns out that Bureaucracy was on the ballot every bit as much as Democracy as voters decided Donald Trump was the guy to slay the former and restore the latter. Talk Radio host Brian Rust joins Dave to assess the mood of the voting public along with the fate of legacy media stars whose credibiltly is plunging almost as fast as their rating, before looking ahead to the President Elect's staffing decisions and the direction we can expect from a second Trump Administration.  If you enjoy listening to Brian and Dave on the show, you will love seeing them in person in just a few short weeks as they record an episode of the show in front of a live audience at Panama Ctiy Beach, Florida. Have a look on the Member's side of the website as details will be forthcoming very soon.  While you're at it, have a look at Dave's Website, Dave Carter Online for more articles, podcasts, research references and more! 

We've all heard variations on the question: What motivated a majority of Americans to cast their vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 Election?  Ricochet's Dave Carter was on the receiving end of just such and inquiry from a high school class mate he knew years ago in his hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana. This episode, without any guests or interviews, provides Dave's answer. It is, as he says, "respectfully tendered," in the hope that whether or not there is agreement on policy issues, the listener will be disabused of the idea that Trump voters are motivated by racism, sexism, selfishness or any other nefarious motives. But here, take the next 20 minutes and listen for yourself.  

Dave sits down with author and scholar Dr. Anders W. Edwardsson to discuss his recent book, Radical Betrayal; How Liberals and Neoconservatives are Wrecking American Exceptionalism.  Exploring a book of extraordinary depth, Dave and Dr. Edwardsson take us on a journey that begins as far back as Mesopotamia, exploring recurring historical themes and the roots of political movements whose threads weave through the totality of the human experience and onto the pages of today's headlines.  From the rugged individualim that helped spur the American Revolution to the dominance of progresssive ideas on the national stage, contending visions of man's relationship to the state and to his fellow man unfold as the conversation stops at crucial points in American history before Dr. Edwardsson takes an unflinching assessment of where America is today and the choices we face. It's a compelling conversattion that you won't want to miss.   Don't forget to take a look at Dave's Website at Dave Carter Online, and keep tuning into future episodes as our host prepares for special eiditon of the Dave Carter Show to be recorded in front of a live audience in the Florida panhandle! 

As Election Day draws near, who better than Dave and Dave to analyize events, deconstruct narratives, and have a laugh or two along the way.  Whiskey Dave joins Ricochet's Dave Carter to sift through the Vice Presidential Debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz to highlight not only the salient points that were raised in the debate, but to ask whether debates in the current format and venues are even useful. Then, the performance of the Biden / Harris Administration is examined when it comes to the cataclysmic carnage and wreckage of Western North Carolina,, Eastern Tennessee and portions of Georgia in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Speaking of cataclysmic, the Obama / Biden / Harris / Blinken policy of American weakness in the face of Iranian aggression takes center stage as Whiskey Dave relates his own experiences in the region and his encyclopedic knowledgle of the cultural ethos of Israel as well as those who seek its elimination.  If you like hard-nosed analysis, tempered at times with a comedic touch, this episode is for you.  

Dave is joined by Talk Radio Host Brian Rust to discuss the second assassination attempt on President Trump's life. In a time when the abnormal is becoming normalized, the question remains; What would you do if you were the one who luckily survived two attempted murders in the course of two months?  The path that brought us to this surreal chapter in American life is the subject of discussion between Dave and Brian as they seek to make some sense of the current madness.  Following the discussion with Mr. Rust, Dave let's us in on his latest online adventure,..and there's talk of an upcoming collaboration between Dave and Brian and their upcoming podcast which will be done before a live audience.  Stay tuned.... 

At a time when despair and depression are just a mouse-click away and the very air itself weighs heavy with bad news and mayhem, the occasional laugh can be refreshing and cathartic. Which is why Ricochet's Dave Carter turned to friend and comedian David Deeble to get his decidedly wry perspective and unique humor on all sorts of topics. A veteran comedian who has traveled the world and performed in a variety of venues, David Deeble has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Late Show with James Corden, CBS This Morning, America's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, among many other places and programs. In this episode, the two Daves discuss everything from life on a cruise ship, to the pleasures of European airport security, Donald Trump's righteous mug show scowl, and the state of stand-up comedy today (including something Dave Carter refers to as "The Dance of the Monotonous Vulgarians"). Calling in from Germany, David Deeble has a great many observations and perspectives that we believe you will find quite interesting. And of course there are the laughs, which are never far away in this relaxing and enjoyable episode.

How would you react if you learned that your home is haunted by an entity that was there long before you, effectively making you a guest in your own home? Most of us have seen various television shows featuring paranormal investigations, and it's fairly easy to speculate about how we would react from the comfort of a non-haunted home. But how would you react if it was happening at your own residence? That's the question facing Ricochet's Dave Carter as he grapples with rather odd happenings at his home by the bay in Panama City, Florida. In this politics free edition of The Dave Carter Show, our host invites longtime friends and paranormal investigators Paul Bonnette and his lovely and charming wife Nikki into his home to have a look at the situation, after which they join Dave and Becky in studio to discuss their findings. The result is a riveting conversation that we believe you will find quite compelling whether you believe in the paranormal or not. The show also features an interesting perspective on Jason Aldean's hit song "Try That In A Small Town" and an offbeat news report from announcer Mark Benoit and a cast of characters. So dim the lights, hide the Ouija Board, and enjoy an evening with the spirits.

As the Presidential Primary season gets underway, Dave turns to talk radio host extraordinaire Brian Rust whose diagnosis of the political scene is spot-on and as accurate as anyone else in the business. A radio broadcaster with nearly 34 years experience, Mr. Rust is the host of The Brian Rust Show, which is heard and viewed across the country and in several countries around the world. As the conversation progresses, Dave and Brian discuss the current field of Republican presidential contenders, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Rick Scott and, of course, Donald Trump and how receptive the electorate may be to Republican policies. The recent congressional testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray comes under scrutiny, as does the campaign of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It's an interesting conversation and a compelling episode that includes everything from Dave's tales from his job of transporting patients to and from doctor's appointments, to an impending paranormal investigation of Dave's residence and, of course, the fascinating conversation of two broadcasters. We think you'll enjoy the result!

In this episode (the first in a little while), Ricochet's own Dave Carter catches us up various events in his world before sitting down with Whiskey Dave for an in-depth discussion on the what they both agree is the "absolute insanity" filling the current headlines. From presidential politics, the Trump indictment and foreign affairs to the tendency of the left to overwhelm Americans' attention with a multitude of assaults on reason, culture, and civil society generally. Never one to wallow in despair, Dave then treats us to a bit of presidential satire to tickle the funny bone. It's good to have him back, great to hear his new podcast sound kit, and informative to hear the two Daves discuss current events.
