Unbuyable Conservative- Keith Gross Putting Voters First in Florida’s 2nd District

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.

If you’re tired of politicians who talk a big game but answer to donors instead of voters, this episode is for you.

Brian Rust- "Knock It Off!" Host Steps Up – Running for Bay County Commissioner

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.

"Salvation" A Thrilling Novel from Kevin Creighton

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.

Dr. Stanley Ridgley; "DEI Exposed"

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!
