Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
show in America on air and on the World Wide Web.
Rob Carson
This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. We are on radio stations across the country and of course, streaming on all of Newsmax social media. If you'd like to follow me personally on social media, go to Rob Carson or Rob Carson. Joe. I'm everywhere. Getter and truth and LinkedIn, oddly enough. Let's see. Facebook, Twitter, X. Now Instagram, TikTok. All of them. My God, it's crazy. I've got like a regular network there. It's just. It's kind of nuts. And then on. On Sunday night, oddly enough, at 8:30, I have a TV show on Newsmax. Okay, so I have a. I have a comedy show on Newsmax called Rob Carson's what in the World. It's been on. On the air for about six years now. Not sure why it's on Sunday night, but you know what? That's when it is. And that's when you got to watch it. So, 8:30 on Sunday night, Rob Carson's what in the World. Set your dvr. That way you won't forget because, you know, you get kind of busy and then all sudden, 8:30 rolls around and you're doing something in the kitchen, you're making some popcorn and they're like, oh, my God, I forgot. Rob Carson's what in the World. So, so you can set your dvr. It's, it's a delightful show. I, what I do is I write the script around clips, you know, of newsmakers and then I stop and start the video. And between the video clips, when I stop it, I improvise. It's pretty fun. It's a, it's very fun. So check it out. William Steven Spielberg fleeing California ahead of the proposed wealth tax.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
What?
Rob Carson
Why would you do that? STEVEN Spielberg, you're a, you're a commie library. You should love, love, love having high taxes because, you know, the billionaires, millionaires and the, you know, this and that and the burp. No, he's out of there, man. Steven Spielberg is leaving California because Gavin Newsom has made it into a crap hole supreme. That is just fantastic, man. That is just, that is just fantastic. President was out and about yesterday. Got some good jobless numbers, by the way, had, you know, the, the GDP was down just like the Democrats wanted it to be in the fourth quarter. That's why they did the government sh. And that's why they're doing it now, too. And then also it was about Obamacare, rescuing Obamacare, subsidies back then. And now it's defunding ICE and the Department of Homeland Security and all this. So it's always going to be something that's their goal is to, you know, C block the economy. I'm just going to tell you that. But it's not going to stop the good news from happening. Let's start out with jobless claims, shall we? Initial claims expected to be around 225,000, 206,000. They were down last week to 206,000. That would be the smallest amount going back to the first week, second week in January when it was 199,000. That's pretty cool. People, people to come back to work, you see, you know, because manufacturing is coming back to America. Donald Trump was out in, in Georgia yesterday. Did you see that? When he went into the burger joint and all of the people were joyous to see him and everything. And he played the crowd. Nobody plays a crowd like the president. But he talked about at a speech yesterday about Joe Biden's economy, which was a crab sandwich without the bread, versus his.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Under the last administration, every economic policy punished American workers and businesses like this one, while rewarding those who outsourced to foreign nations.
Rob Carson
Remember, Barack Obama said that, I don't have no magic wand. I can't bring manufacturing back to America. And Donald Trump came in and said, let me show you how to do it. And he brought $18 trillion of investment manufacturing back to our country under the Trump administration.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Our policy is the exact opposite. Making it harder to outsource while rewarding those who invest higher. Grow and build right here in the usa.
Rob Carson
It used to be a big deal to have a Made in the USA label on something. You remember that? Yeah. It used to be kind of a big deal to be made in the usa. And now everything you get is what? Made in China. It's made in China, right? Most of it. Most of it. Taiwan, China, all of that. Not America. But America's coming back. It's pretty amazing because Americans will do anything. George W. Bush said, americans, there are jobs Americans won't do. There's never been a job Americans won't do. What? What an asinine thing to say. That said, while Joe Biden was a president, I don't know. You knew, I lived in Kansas City. I sell sold cars for a little while, and I watched his economy destroy people's lives. I saw people have to come out of retirement to work at the grocery store. I saw people working two or three jobs. I saw the price of groceries go from where you could fill the bottom of the entire cartoon of groceries. Trust me, I do all the grocery shopping at Wally World. At Walmart, you could fill the entire cart for 200, 250 bucks, and it became 200, 250 bucks. Just one. One level in the. In the shopping cart. Just nothing up. Not up to the top, just the bottom of the cart covered 200, $250. That's the way it was. You know it as well as I do. And Democrats, as Donald Trump's trying to bring down these prices, he's doing a good job of it. Prices are still high because of what Joe Biden did. And they're claiming it's Donald Trump's fault. You see what they're trying to do. But fortunately, you know, rents have come down. We'll get to that in one second. You know, mortgage, mortgages. When I bought my house in Kansas six years ago, we got in, in the low to mid-200s. I know. I know where you live. It's great. You can still get a pretty nice house in Kansas City for 250, $300,000. I mean, honestly, we really can't. It may be a little. Not the best neighborhood, but. But they're coming around. They're coming around that house now if you're going to buy it. 450. 450. And the average price of a home went from about 230 to around 410. $420,000 during Joe Biden's administration. Interest rates. I have a 2, 9. I have a 2.9 interest rate. It went to 8. All right. That's what Joe Biden did by opening the southern border and blowing up spending. And we all live through it. And we all have the scars. Many of you, the, the interest rates on your home that are very painful. Or your car, your car interest rate or your, your credit card interest rate. Unbelievable. Here's Donald Trump yesterday talking about how rents are coming down big time.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
We're also expanding the dream of homeownership.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
And we are really right now in American dream territory. One of the biggest factors driving up housing costs. The Biden border invasion.
Rob Carson
Oh, yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
There's millions and millions of people flooding into your communities getting government subsidies on homes.
Rob Carson
Yeah. Gave them loans and everything. And gave them free hotel rooms and everything. While you and me suffered.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Foreign born workers now make up over one third of all demand for Georgia housing. Driving up rent and housing cars.
Rob Carson
Now, it did that.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
We've secured our border. We stopped the invasion. Think of this.
Rob Carson
What?
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Millions of people came through our border every single year.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Millions and millions of people in the last eight months. I don't even believe this could be possible. But it's close.
Rob Carson
00. There you go. And it's working. And we love it. And you know why we love it? Because that's what we voted for. Thank you very much. Then I want you to listen to this. Prescription drug prices. Have you had to buy anything lately? Have you gone to Trump Rx these days? I'm not on a bunch of meds. I know. I know. Even though, you know, I'm 60 years old. I'm not on a bunch of meds. I'm not on anything expensive. I'm not the only thing. The only drug I take is for my fabulous hair. Thank you very much. Been taking that for a while. But, you know, I get that from hims.com. but other than that, no, I don't. I don't need a lot of stuff. But a lot of people need a lot of stuff. And drug prices are coming down pretty
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
darn dramatically under our Most Favored Nation agreements. And this is the thing that I think every Republican should win on, even if you hate them in every other way.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Agreements for drug prices that we're slashing drug prices by 400, 500, even 600%.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Nobody's ever seen anything like crazy because we were paying the highest drug prices in the world, and now we're paying whatever. The lowest prices in the world. That's the price.
Rob Carson
Yes. See, that's kind of what he did with tariffs. He leveled them out because we were getting screwed. You see, that's why he did it. He didn't do it to be punitive. He did it to even out the playing field. And he. And he used a. A specific law to do it. And now I'm just gonna have to find another one. There you go. That's all. This is a woman online talking about the. One of the most expensive things. My wife and I, we had to go through the. The IVF thing, you know, had to do the shot in the rear end and all that stuff. Not a lot of fun. Went to. You know, we had that, you know, where you go in and you. You make a baby without the physical contact. Go to your rooms. Oh, this is hot. This is hot. All right, let's get it done. Oddly enough, we. We got pregnant with my daughter. We got pregnant. My wife got pregnant with my daughter for the first time in, like, a couple years where he actually did it for fun. It was like. Because it was like, shots. Temperature. House of temperature. Okay, let's go. All this stuff, you know, I mean, talk about sucking every ounce of romance out of it, whatever. But one weekend, we're like, yeah, what the hell? And then, boom, there you go. But here's a woman. IVF is incredibly expensive, sometimes thousands of dollars in it. It's even actually prevented couples from having children.
IVF Patient
Between everything medically going on, I have a tumor in my brain that has to come out. It's very urgent. And then I come out of it, I start these IVF cycles tense. It's thousands of dollars. This is going to put us under. We're stable, but we're already kind of drowning in medical debt. This is not going to help. And she said, well, I don't know if you've heard of Trump Rx, but it is making IVF cycles far more affordable when it comes to the medication. Like, you are talking saving 2 to $3,000 per IVF cycle. For example, Gonal F is a very commonly used fertility drug, and it's usually in an injection. And it goes perfect per pen. The cost for just one pen can usually range anywhere from $1,200 to $6,800. On Trump Rx, $168 per pen. Another one called Cetrotide, usually goes for $315. And on Trump Rx, it's $22. Another one called Ovidrel will go from $251 to $84. And those are just some examples. This changed our lives. This changes the entire trajectory of our fertility treatment costs. And not by a few hundred bucks, by thousands and thousands of dollars.
Rob Carson
Yeah. The good news is coming. It is coming. And the affordability argument from the Democrats is already off the table. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Do you see they raided the Fulton County Place storage house.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
And now the Democrats have hired a massive team of lawyers. They have the ballots. That should be no problem.
Rob Carson
No problems.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
FBI came in and raided. They found plenty of stuff. And now they have the ballots. And the Democrats are fighting like hell. And I think it goes before a judge tomorrow.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
To not let anybody see the ballots. Why don't they want them to see the ballots after all these years?
Rob Carson
Because they cheated.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
You know why they don't want. Because they cheated. They sent top lawyers down from New York to fight it.
Rob Carson
Yeah. 100%. It's. It's obvious. It's kind of like, duh, you know, that's just the way it is. Otherwise he'd be like, oh, dude, no, no, here's. You can see him all you want. You know, Instead they're saying something. Well, he only wants to see him because he wants to steal 2020. Say, that makes no sense. That makes no sense at all. That's just stupid. But they're just throwing it out there. It's like, you know, the reason why they, you know, the one idea is to keep black people and women from voting again. Stupid. Stupid. We're not this stupid. This is your Democrat Party. They think you'll just fall for it, but you're not going to fall for it. I'm not going to fall for it. Don't fall for it. Kids, come on up in a second. I want to share. Carl Higbee. Nobody talks war like Carl Higbee. Carl Higby, last night, he kind of put things in perspective about what's happening right now. That could happen as soon as this weekend in Iran. We Will see. Donald Trump has given Iran maybe 10 days. I don't know if that's a distraction because, you know, you kind of go, no, it's 10 days. You get a boom tomorrow. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm going to share that in one second. Gold is pushing $5,100. It's on the way back. I told you it was going to be on the way back. Went down to 46 from 56. Now it's 51. It didn't take very long, did it? Two weeks. And don't think that it won't continue its meteoric rise because it went up $2,000. Oh, no. $3,000 in a year and a half, from 2600 to $5,600. Gold is desired. People want it more than ever. Birch Gold makes it accessible. I always see in the comments on our livestream, I want to buy some gold. I want to buy some gold. It's a little too expensive right now. And then, you know, last week happened. Maybe today's the day you, you pull the trigger and you text my name. Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. You're deluged with a million gold ads. I know it. I know you see it all the time. Gold is a hot commodity right now. It was always just kind of a like a warm blanket, right? As far as investments are concerned, it was just kind of nice to have, but it really wasn't doing much, you know, all of that. Kind of like a husband after, you know, 25 years. I'm just saying, ladies. Anyway, a plus rating for the BBB and it is in demand. Highly wanted. Let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold so you can have a peace of mind regardless of uncertainty in the world economy, ettery, etc. Etc. Text ROB to 989898 again. ROB to 989898 for Birch Gold. Here is Carl Higby talking about our forces near Iran.
Carl Higbee
Trump isn't like every other politician. He's actually willing to do something.
Rob Carson
Check this out.
Carl Higbee
These are our bases around Iran, okay?
Rob Carson
There's a lot of them say nobody talks war like Carl Higby on Newspex
Carl Higbee
to say we can put a fighter jet or 200 over Tehran in less than 20 minutes. Most of those bases, they won't even know that they launch. They won't even know because they can't be detected by radar because our fighter jets are awesome. You don't believe me? I'm sure we can get the Iranian officials on the phone with Mr. Maduro. We have not one, but two carrier battle groups in the region, each carrying more planes than all of Iran's air force with destroyers that are currently picking which window in which building they want to send a missile through. Built on target packages of our CIA that's been on the ground collecting intel that we've infiltrated their country dating back to Iran Contra. We have frigates with more resources than all the grocery stores and gas stations in Tehran. We have submarines that these people have no idea where they are. Each carrying up to eight independently launchable nuclear warheads, of which one would make Tehran look a lot like Gaza. Three out of the four of our branches of our military are the three largest air forces in the world. And we just move half of it into Iran's backyard. Iran's leadership is a bunch of antique religious ideologues that don't like bacon, that think they're protected by Allah. I say we test that protection.
Rob Carson
Listen, I gotta hear that again. Uh oh, play it again, Carl World.
Carl Higbee
And we just move half of it into Iran's backyard. Iran's leadership is a bunch of antique religious ideologues that don't like bacon.
Rob Carson
Antique religious ideologues that don't like bacon. Or dogs.
Carl Higbee
Don't forget the dogs that think they're protected by Allah. I say we test that.
Rob Carson
They love their goats, man. They love. That is Carl Higbee, by the way. He just got re signed. He got a new contract at Newsmax. You're going to be seeing Carl Higby all over the place. Now something interesting. I didn't even know this. I didn't know this. Do you know what happens around the Pentagon when they're about to nail somebody like the Ayatollah?
Carl Higbee
Listen, but you know, there's interesting, and you being in the number two at the Pentagon for quite some time. There is actually an X account, a Twitter account that tracks the pizza restaurants around the Pentagon. And it's never wrong when you are ordering more pizzas from those things. There are probably bombs coming out of the sky. And according as of this afternoon, various pizzerias near the Pentagon are reporting above average traffic, including both nearby Domino's locations. Sir, looks like we might be raining down.
Rob Carson
I guess there's no account for taste, but there's, you know, there's pizza, you know, actually anything, pizza is almost, you know, pretty good. Even Domino's is pretty darn good. Here is a former Undersecretary of War, Robert Wilkie. Talking to Carl Higby about bombing the snot out of Iran, something that's got to happen.
Robert Wilkie
They've killed thousands of our soldiers and threatened to kill the President. What you said is absolutely essential. It can't be a one off, it can't be United States Navy show. It has to include the hard weeks long campaigning of the heavy, heavy bombing of the United States. The B52s, the B2s, the B1s that will break the ground, destroy the bunkers and really put an end to really. Look Carl, this is one of the most evil regimes in modern history.
Rob Carson
They have to go.
Robert Wilkie
And I always fall back. And you and I have talked about this on something gold in my ear. Always said what you say if somebody tells you over and over again he wants to kill you, believe him. Yes, that's what these people want to do. If they are let off the hook, the ramifications for global peace will be cataclysmic.
Rob Carson
Yeah, this is why I think Donald Trump defused the situation, said stop the hangings, all of this nonsense so he could get everything in place. And these idiots are still doubling down on stuff like doing an AI picture of the Gerald R. Ford at the bottom of the ocean, still being defiant, still being belligerent and, and hopefully we will erase them from the planet and the people of Persia will walk free. And after that happens they're going to go to Cuba and the people of Cuba are going to walk free. People of Venezuela have already been freed of a dictator. This is the kind of freedom that we've been hoping for. And this is why this year and the next three years are going to be the most historic in world history as far as peace and prosperity. Because we got a kick butt president in the White House. How's that sound? I think it sounds pretty cool. The one and only Mary Walter joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Let me share Brian's story from Alabama. He tells us about Relief Factor. Trying it for just three weeks. At least 90% of my pain was gone. My pain had started to limit me at work and at home and I'm amazed at the relief I've gotten. Those are Brian's own words and they speak volumes about what relief factor can do. I've seen that kind of transformation myself and hearing Brian's experience just reinforces why I'm so passionate about sharing this with you all. Don't wait. If you're dealing with daily pain, launch your three week quick start and see what relief factor can do for you. Call 8004 RELIEF. That's 800-4 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com. that's relieffactor.com. how will it feel to be out of pain? Mary, Mary, I need your hugging. There you go. I gotta love my Run DMC Mary, Mary. There is no cooler theme song, I gotta tell you, for anybody being introduced on the radio than that song and your name being the same thing. Mary. Walter, how are you on this glorious Friday?
Mary Walter
I'm fine, how are you?
Rob Carson
I'm cool. There are no good Rob songs out there. There really aren't. There are no songs about Rob Robert, nothing. It's just.
Mary Walter
Yeah, tons of Mary songs.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And you Mother Mary. There's a million Mary songs.
Mary Walter
Holy Mary songs. Is very true.
Rob Carson
Holy heck. So there's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff going on. I want to, I want to play a sound bite or two while I'm talking to you. Here is Donald Trump being. Talking about space aliens, that aliens are real.
Carl Higbee
Have you seen any evidence of non human visitors to Earth?
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Well, he gave plasma classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that.
Carl Higbee
So aliens are real?
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information.
Rob Carson
So there's Donald Trump talking about Barack Obama giving up classified information. Do you suppose that's why he backed off the space alien thing, is that he realized that he gave up classified information and they're really. I mean, listen, look at Rose Delaro. Obviously we've been visited.
Mary Walter
That's funny if you know who she is.
Rob Carson
Yes, people do. She's the purple hair, crazy looking woman in the, in Congress, the Democrat. She looks like a space alien. Totally.
Mary Walter
You know, just side off the space alien thing just for a hot second. She's not a good looking woman to start, but it's almost like she goes out of her way to look hideous.
Rob Carson
I don't know what it is. There's an age that you shouldn't do things anymore. You shouldn't do experimental facial hair. You shouldn't do experimental hair color. You know, after a certain age, you know, and she's. I don't know what she's trying to do. She's got those big glasses. I guess she thinks we got those hairy carry glasses. And then she does like purple streaks in her hair.
Mary Walter
Yeah. It's almost like she's trying and I try to listen. God gives you certain things. You can't help what God gives you. So I try to give people grace. But you gotta work with what You've given what you've been given. Right.
Rob Carson
And it's only. Yeah, it's only magnifying the ugly. It's like pointing out a zit on your forehead. It's like, look at this zit. It's just not.
Mary Walter
Yeah, exactly. Well, so here's the thing. Totally believe there's aliens, 100%.
Rob Carson
What?
Mary Walter
Do you really explain the Nazca lines to me in Peru?
Rob Carson
The what lines?
Mary Walter
The Nazca lines.
Rob Carson
You mean the lines in the chem trails? What are you talking about?
Mary Walter
No, the natural lines in Peru.
Rob Carson
Yeah, the big. The big formations. They show like human drawings that are hundreds of feet long on your surface.
Mary Walter
Right. And you can only. How did they make those if they're only visible from the air?
Rob Carson
Here's the issue, Mary. I've thought about this a good deal.
Mary Walter
You didn't answer my question.
Rob Carson
I don't know. They're just good at it. Listen, there's a lot of people that can think. You got, you know, farmers who carve out Marry me on the ground. You got skywriters who can write Marry me in the sky a mile long. So there's a million ways to do it, Mary. Doesn't have to be space aliens.
Mary Walter
Skyriders didn't exist back then. I mean, these people, you know, I just find it hard because these things are miles long. Some of them are like encompass a mile.
Rob Carson
So you think there are space aliens? Okay. Do you believe. Do you believe that there are structures that go down 4,000ft under the pyramids?
Mary Walter
I don't know about that. I don't know. Haven't given that much thought.
Rob Carson
But here's the thing that I will say. I'll posit this because I'm. I'm a big physics and astronomy guy. I know it's kind of hard to believe, right? But you know, if in fact, there were massive civilizations, it would be very odd for us to come together at this time in history. So history, you know, even. Even a little blink in 15 billion years of the universe could mean that your civilization, 2 million, 5 million, a billion years ago, came and went. And you would assume they discover radio and they'd start broadcasting like we have in the whole deal. And yet the universe is silent. We're not hearing anything. So I'm kind of wondering.
Mary Walter
Well, just because we can't hear it doesn't mean it's not happening. Maybe we don't have the equipment to pick it up.
Rob Carson
Well, there's only a certain level of. Okay, we're getting too deep in this. There's only a certain wavelength.
Mary Walter
Maybe they don't want us to find it. Maybe they don't want us to find us. Maybe they've been here. Like, these people are a disaster. We don't want them to find us.
Rob Carson
They saw Rose DeLauro and said, she. She makes us look ugly.
Mary Walter
Exactly. I think they've been visiting for a while and they're just looking what's happening. They're like, all right, that's a lost planet. And off they go.
Rob Carson
Pretty much. Pretty much. Here's another scandalous story.
News Reporter
Controversy this morning surrounding one of the most iconic brands in the candy business. A member of the Reese family is accusing Hershey of hurting the Reese's brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients in many products. Brad Reese says Hershey replaced milk chocolate with compound coatings and replaced peanut butter with peanut creme. Hershey acknowledges recipe changes in some products, but says the original Reese's Peanut Butter cup is made the same as.
Rob Carson
There you go. What do they call them where you live? What do they call Reese cups?
Mary Walter
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Rob Carson
That's what we call them in Iowa. Then I moved to Kentucky. I went to Kentucky. They call them Reese cups there. They call them Reese cups.
Mary Walter
They also call them sodies, too. Instead of soda, they call them sodies.
Rob Carson
So let me ask you this, Mary, who eats candy, because all the ads for candy used to be when I was a kid, they were for kids. And now all the candy bars and everything are for adults. Do you as an adult frequently buy a candy bar?
Mary Walter
No. You know what? See, so my husband has a little bit of a hoarding issue, and so he will buy a four pound bag of candy for Halloween. And long story short, we don't get trick or treaters because there's always a big party in town on this one block. And you know, the parents go, and it's a big party, blah, blah, blah.
Rob Carson
Crazy Mary lives in that house. Plus the kids know crazy Mary lives in that house. I've heard the right.
Mary Walter
And I like that. Get off my lawn. So. So. But my husband for years to buy a big four pound bag of candy and we put it in there in the freezer because, you know, to make it last. And I was like, this is ridiculous. And so then he just decided to start by, yes, he goes. Because when he goes, yes, but I bought candy that we like so it won't go to waste. You won't have to give it away. I'm like, no, buying candy that we like is not the answer. But we always have a bag in the freezer of like Reese's peanut butter cups or like the assortment that has like the Min Snickers, the mini three Musketeers, the mini Twix or the, you know, those types of things. And because they're the mini, I'll eat one every now and then.
Rob Carson
Yeah, well, when I gave up drinking, when I. When I gave up drinking, I didn't realize how bad, you know, alcohol is all sugar, all the time. Right. Generally. And so, like, I remember I had a problem when I ate five crumble cookies in one setting. And then I realized also I could not have candy in the house. And I cannot have it in the house. I really can't. I keep some, like, dark chocolate squares. I have one a day. But otherwise I have to kind of stay away from it. Kind of have to stay away from it.
Mary Walter
So anyway, I'm very good. I just put stuff in the freezer, like the Girl Scout cookies and this and that, and you forget about them. And then if you want one like a Girl Scout cookie, you kind of have to defrost it. Unless it's a thin mint, in which case it's delicious frozen.
Rob Carson
But I'm going to tell you the thing about, and I mentioned this the other day, we're always complaining about the cost of tuition going up, you know, 200%, 300% in the last 30 years. Did you, you realize in the last 10 or 15 years the price of Girl Scout cookies has gone up 300% or a little bit less? They used to be 250. Now it's $6 a box. I mean, I'm sorry, they're pricing themselves out of it.
Mary Walter
When I sold Girl Scout cookies, they were 50 cents a box. That's how old I am. And I just watched it go up, go up, go up, go up. But, you know, it's a cartel. And they have a way to make you buy them. It's once a year. And you know, what? If it brings you joy and you buy three boxes once a year, throw them. So what?
Rob Carson
I was at Best Buy, the girls were inside Best Buy and selling them, you know, all these cute little girls. They got the little papa guys and all that. So I bought the cookies. Then I went over for my purchase. I ended up buying an extended warranty on the cookies. It's $20 a year. Didn't even know. I'm like, what the hell did I just do? What did I just do? All right, so on the other side of the break, Whole Foods scraps a dystopian Payment system and no more garbage cars. You will be fined in one state. I'll explain that. On the other side of the break. More with Mary Walter on the Rob Carson show. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson for Shopify.

Carl Higbee
Relentlessly slowing the spread of the stupid.
Donald Trump (Audio Clips)
Every day it's the Rob Carson show.
Rob Carson
The outlet pass for Keller as a fenceman. Nice move. Cuts to the net score. Megan Keller, the overtime hero. The United States wins gold and belong. I gotta tell you, watching the U.S. women's hockey team yesterday win the gold against Canada was really something else. It's been a long time since I felt the goosebumps, felt the tears kind of welling up in my eyes and I saw those, those girls win yesterday. It was something else. Mary, did you see that yesterday?
Mary Walter
I did not see it live that. I saw it on replay and that was amazing. I couldn't keep track of the puck. I'm like, where is it? I'm like oh my gosh, it's in the goal. Like I couldn't, had no clue where it was going. I've watched it several times, couldn't follow it.
Rob Carson
That's watching hockey in general, Mary.
Mary Walter
That's true hockey though from we used to have devil's tickets and from what I could see it involved a lot of spitting and just a lot of fighting.
Rob Carson
A little bit of fighting. A little bit of fighting. Yeah, I used to and I hope to go see some caps games. I really enjoyed caps. It's like pro wrestling meets monster truck. It's friggin phenomenal. Really Good hockey teams. There's nothing like a hockey game.
Mary Walter
Just the really good. You know, Rob, since we beat Canada yesterday, if they had listened to Donald Trump and become the 51st state, they would have won a gold medal.
Rob Carson
Would have won a gold medal. Well, you know what? That's just the way it is, isn't it? And by the way, could be a men's U.S. team versus Canada, depending on the win today. Did you see this little girl, Alyssa Liu? She won a gold medal in figure skating. Did you see her? She just.
Mary Walter
That was insane. That was crazy. She was a blur.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God. She. Her. Her routine was flawless. And then she. Afterwards, she's just a light. She's. And she's my daughter's age, so I'm like, you know, I'm that age where, you know, your kids, you know, I'm like, I called my daughter yesterday. Why haven't you done anything? She won a gold. You're in art school. Oh, okay. Whatever.
Mary Walter
Nice job. I love her story. You know, her dad was imprisoned after Tiananmen Square because he protested. They got out, and they came to this country, and they actually had the ccp, you know, because they have secret police in this country who were after them, and they actually had to get protection from the federal government. And she was so excited to win for America, her adopted country, the country that took them in, and they became citizens and did it the legal way. And did you see the American who's Chinese, and she decided to skate for China, and she lost a little bit of a blowback. Talk about a difference between the two of them.
Rob Carson
You're going to talk about a difference. Look at the difference between the patriotism of the figure skaters and the hockey players versus the skiers. I think it's because the skiers smoke so much weed. That's what I think it is. You got the woman over there saying, well, I'm pansexual, which I guess means you like to have sex in the kitchen. Don't even know what the hell that means anyway. And then she hates America.
Mary Walter
She was a skater. She's a figure. Wasn't that Amber Glenn, the figure skater? Not a skier.
Rob Carson
Okay, well, what about the guys, the skier guys who say they hate in America? I don't know. I don't know if they're pansexual.
Mary Walter
Okay, that was early on in the beginning. I got you.
Rob Carson
Yes, whatever. The skiers are kind of a little. In. Great. Little ingrates versus the hockey team. So. But I was really. It was. It was reminiscent. It really was. Reminiscent of the 1980 men's team beating the Soviet Union. Although the US Olympics team had beaten opponents 31 to 1 in the Olympics thus far.
News Reporter
Wait, who did?
Rob Carson
The American team. The women's team had outscored their opponents 31 goals to one until the game with Canada.
Mary Walter
Oh, okay. Because I'm like, wait, it was 2 to 1 in Canada and overtime. Wasn't it a lot?
Rob Carson
Canada. I think the last time they beat Canada, five to one. So Canada brought game yesterday, but fortunately we ended up winning. So do you. I listen. I've never been a Whole Food shopper. I go to Whole Food because there's one near my house, and in the mornings, they have 50% off prepared foods and fruit. So I get the yellow labels like I get at Walmart, except for I get it at Whole Foods. I'm the biggest pain in the butt because I got to enter each one and put a 50% code on it and the whole deal. And I buy stuff there. But did you realize. Do you have. Do you shop at Whole Foods?
Mary Walter
Whole paycheck. No. That's what they call it in New Jersey. I. There was one near me when I was living in Maryland in Chevy Chase, and it was the only grocery. Well, there was that in the Food Giant. And I went in there. My husband and I went in there, was looking for guacamole, and it was like, $14. So I went to the desk and this is a true story. Do you have any guacamole that is not made by indentured children in a foreign country?
Rob Carson
You're like, I don't know. I'm making $12 an hour as a second job. Leave me the hell alone.
Mary Walter
Did not appreciate my humor. And we went guacamole list. Because I was not paying the ridiculous price for guacamole.
Rob Carson
You can get guacamole half price if you go in early in the morning. And by the way, I'm going to give Whole Foods credit because what they do is they take a lot of the stuff that's expired and they give it to homeless people. And they got these big old trailers full of food, and it's pretty. They feed a lot of people. They do. They feed. Feed a lot of people. Did you know that they had. They have a thing called Palm Pei. Not like the. The city that was buried by the volcano. In Italy, it's called Palm Pe. Where you put your palm and it reads your palm. They got rid of it because people said, are you freaking kidding me? That's what I said the first Time I went there and said, are you going to use Palm Pei? And I went, what? What? Yeah, apparently it's too much to use biometric information to buy your half price guacamole.
Mary Walter
First of all, two things, half price. So my grocery store in this in New Jersey, it's all shop right and we have a mega shop right, whatever. And they put all of the, they have freeze refrigerators up in the front of the store and then, and then racks where all the 50%, it's 30 to 70% off. So everything from every department goes up there at different times. So when I, when I buy stuff at 50 to 70% off, sometimes you get 70% off on something. Eligana prepare food there. You realize the half price at Whole Foods is probably full price at my store. Do you know what I mean?
Rob Carson
Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Mary Walter
So I'll get dinner for $2.50 for each. I'll get something for like five bucks as it expires that day. And they have a sushi department, so get sushi whatever. So that's the first thing. So they try that biometric thing at our hospital here. You know, you give your. Would you like to. I'm like, no, why would I give you my palm print? You know, because then you can just hit your. They had these readers everywhere in the hospital and you can just hit your palm and it'll, you know, you register automatically when you go up to same day. You just swap your palms like get. No. And the same thing. They took them out. They just got dusty and people got tired of dusting them and they got rid of them. Why would I give them that?
Rob Carson
I don't know. But by the way, if you buy something 7% off, you better eat it that night because there'll be flies buzzing it tomorrow.
Mary Walter
That's the thing is it either gets wrapped and goes in the freezer if it's because it can be frozen or we have it for dinner. You just have to know what time to go because different things go out at different times.
Rob Carson
Girl, we could talk about this all day, but we're out of time. Fine. Where can people find you on social media, my dear?
Mary Walter
Okay. I'll be on the Rob Schmidt show tonight on Newsmax TV. I think that's 7:45, I think. And then I'm probably going to be not on this coming week because I'm going skiing tomorrow. So you can find my podcast though. Mary Walter Radio. It is live on YouTube and rumble and get her Tuesday, 7:15pm Eastern time. Don't know if I'll be there.

So we're doing this Gettysburg trip from Baltimore to, to Gettysburg on June 11th with my anchor station WCBM. And we knew it was gonna sell pretty quickly.

It's just, it's just a day, it's a day trip with me and I'll be on one bus probably going and then the other bus coming back and then we'll just spend together the day together. If you want to go. It's 130 bucks. That includes lunch, transportation, the whole deal. A bus ticket would cost that much. So there you go to wcbm.com wcbm.com that's our anchor station, Our glorious anchor station.
