You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show.
- [01:35]
This is the Rob Carson Show. Welcome to it. We've got much to get to before the end of the radio program today. I mean, a lot of stuff. So let's dive right into it. This is kind of Jim Hoff, Gateway Pundit esteemed doctors win Missouri v. Biden case brought before the U.S. supreme Court this is all of the censorship we went through and, and this is a gigantic thing. For a while I wasn't able to say Gateway Pundit on the air.
- [02:04]
Lowe's Home Care Plus Announcer
I know, I know.
- [02:05]
Rob Carson
You couldn't say all sorts of things on the air. The government admitted that unrelented pressure from certain government officials likely had intended result of suppressing millions of protected free speech postings by American citizens. Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoff was the lead plaintiff. Missouri v. Biden, the case experts said was the most important free speech case in recent history. The government cannot, cannot take actions, formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to threaten social media companies with some form of punishment unless they remove, delete, suppress or reduce content containing protected free speech. Now, in court filings, it is not only confirmed, it is a critical victory for free speech. And it's been one. They even did the Department of Disinformation. Yeah, you know, they did that just like, just like Joseph Stalin did. Disinformate. Yeah, I talked about this for years. Remember when I talked about this on the air? Disinformatia, Stalinism. That's what happened in our country for many years. The Biden regime. A series of censorship offices were set up in many government agencies. Even the Commerce Department in the Census Bureau had disinformation offices which could flag specific post comments through users. And the goons of the FBI would then pressure and coerce social media companies to delete the posts. I had my Facebook page removed the day after election day 2020. No good reason. Gone. Brandon Straka's walkaway movement. Half a million people on that with stories why they left the Democrat Party. Facebook made it disappear. He's got it back. Elon Musk saved free speech. The size and scope of the Biden censorship complex was enormous, affecting tens of millions of accounts online. The federal government had constructed a complex array of entities in order to coerce and then threaten social media companies to cooperate in silencing dissonant political speech. In one of the requests for takedowns, the FBI Demanded Twitter Delete 929,000 tweets they claimed were foreign speech they disliked. In another instance, the FBI demanded deletion of pro Second Amendment posts liked by nearly 100,000 users on Facebook. They actually created real time monitoring and flagging of content and disliked. They killed my following. They disabled my ability to make a any, any sort of money boost any of my. My posts on Facebook shadow ban me on Twitter. It was a joke. This is why Truth Social is around. This is why Getter is around. This is why Parlor is around. This is why Rumble is around. This is why Rumble is around. The FBI was hosting weekly calls with big tech companies prior to the contested and notorious 2020 election where they were demanding specific stories and comments be censored. Some of the other things that were censored Hunter Hunter Biden's laptop 2020 election integrity issues. COVID19 including its lab based origin in China vaccine skepticism, MO v. Biden was so overwhelming that it emerged during discovery that the government considers the thoughts of its citizens as critical infrastructure so that the government can then justify doing almost anything to combat misinformation and disinformation. Mark Zuckerberg admitted that the Biden administrative Biden censorship complex existed except for he went with it. He went with it. And you know what? It was kind of funny because I've told you this story before. But I couldn't talk about all these things. I couldn't say that I doubted the vaccine. I couldn't say, you know, all of the things that I wanted to say about the election. I couldn't say what I wanted about Honeybit's laptop. All this. How did I get around it? What was the underground? What was the underground for? Free speech in America. It was on this show. And you know what it was? It was comedy. It was comedy. But they couldn't censor comedy. You know why? Because they didn't get it. They didn't understand what I was saying with satire. This is why truth is everything to satire. Truth is everything. If you're just making up nonsense about ice, beating up people in airports. Like this idiotic video the other day, talking about ice in airports, and they did this parody about ice in airports. There's no truth to it. It's not funny. So how did I talk about all of the absurdity? I did it with comedy.
- [06:14]
Arizona and Corona, all the lies about them, they've been telling you.
- [06:22]
You couldn't say that.
- [06:24]
How did they win it? The freaking Senate, when the votes that they received were very few.
- [06:31]
Couldn't say it.
- [06:32]
Don't catch the stupid. Don't buy their BS that climate change is real, inflation's not. Don't catch the stup. Don't believe them. Because distraction and diversion's all they got. We all know that Hurricane Ian was the result of global warming. Russian collusion led to confusion. January 6th is a smokescreen. The new green deal is a disguise deal like their mandate forcing you to take vaccine. Don't catch the stupid. You just can't do it. That in women's sports, men should compete. They're teaching sex ed in kindergarten. Their destructive policies we must defeat. Like wear a mask, don't wear a mask. Statues have fallen. It's so appalling to ignore Hunter's laptop and his theft. Don't catch the stupid rejecting nonsense. Everything is stupid on the land.
- [07:32]
Why did I write that song? Because of all the censorship. And we got them. We stick them. They couldn't fight it. They didn't even know he did it. They didn't even know we did it, Jim. Gossip. They didn't even know we did it to him. I had somebody tell me I should censor that. I. You know, some of those things in there, you can't play that because, I mean, you're gonna get in all sorts of trouble if you play that. And I said, you know what? You can just stick it because I'm gonna go ahead and play it. I'm gonna play the whole damn thing. And that's what we did. That's what we did, man. That's what we did. And. And the reason why. And if you don't know why I came up with the expression don't catch the stupid was because I figured out real early that Covid was bull crap. I mean, I got very sick from COVID but we didn't need to close down schools, we didn't need to close down businesses. And the fact that they didn't even wouldn't let us, you know, discover where it came from or hold China accountable for it. But I came up with it when I said that if you can stand six feet from somebody and not get a deadly virus, but five feet, you'll kill them. I said, if you believe that wearing a paper mask will prevent you from catching the deadliest virus ever, then you've caught the stupid. You've got the stupid. That's where that came from. That's why I will never give up that expression. Do not catch the stupid. Because if you. If you catch the stupid, you'll believe that boys can become girls, compete in girl sports. It's just ridiculous. Vince Vaughn was on, talking to Theo Vaughn. Theo Vaughn. Both the same name. Theo Van. Theo Vaughn is really a likable guy. He's pretty smart. Smart guys, comedian. And this is Vince Vaughn, who's a lot like me, by the way. We're the same way in the 90s with swingers, and in the same way a lot of ways. Vince Vaughn and me. And here's Vince Vaughn talking about comedy and how comedy failed all of us. Late night comedy failed all of us. Why?
- [09:23]
Theo Vaughn
A lot of the late shows have struggled because all they did during, like, all they did, the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just like, white redneck kind of people. And then everything tanked after that.
- [09:35]
Rob Carson
And Trump.
- [09:35]
Theo Vaughn
But see, they never get it right. The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers left. Staff. Two people working here, and both of them are hungover and one guy is shingles. But the place is clean. I like that you keep it clean. Thank you. Yeah, we did vacuum, but. But, yeah, because people want authenticity. Yeah,
- [09:59]
Rob Carson
that's exactly what it is. Podcasts. It's about connection. It's about connection. It's about truth. It's about trust. It is. That's what it is. Who were the most affected by Covid? Gen Z? They had their lives destroyed. They were told they Couldn't socialize with one another. They said they couldn't go to school with one another. They couldn't sit next to each other at the lunchroom. All of this nonsense. You know what happened to them? They got closer and they recognized that human interaction was more important than you could ever imagine. I know because my kids went through it. My son had his college destroyed. All the social activities, all the fun of two years of college. My daughter, Mr. Freshman, half of her first year, complete second year, third year, hybrid learning. And the second semester of that, finally she was able to go back. But they had to wear a stupid freaking mask. Ridiculous. Ben Ferguson was on CNN the other night. Ben Ferguson is a conservative commentator and he was talking about late night T an aficionado at late night tv. I know late night TV like the back of my hand. I use the name Carson because of Johnny Carson. He was my idol as a child. I know it all. And here is Ben Ferguson talking about why late night as it is right now, with the exception of Gutfeld is dead. And listen to these idiots on this panel on cnn. They have no clue because they're dour, humorless, awful people.
- [11:28]
Late Night TV Critic
One massive part of the conversation that's been completely omitted from this, and that is when you do a show that attacks half of America every night and you don't have conservatives on, and by the way, you're not funny, but attacking half of America and your ratings suck, you might lose your show.
- [11:43]
Late Night TV Commentator
There's like, this is a cautionary reason, but there's a. I mean, but there's a lot of reason why the cold bear ratings are not working out that have nothing to do 100% political with the political divide.
- [11:54]
Rob Carson
But it's absolutely full of crap.
- [11:55]
Late Night TV Critic
Constant. He's having on Democrats to trash Trump. He is constantly trashing conservatives. He referred to Donald Trump as a Nazi lover.
- [12:04]
Rob Carson
And who the hell finds Adam Schiff interesting? Who the hell finds James Talarico interesting? That's an insult to late night. That's an insult to Steve Allen. That's an insult to Jack Paar. That's an insult to Jay Leno. That's an insult to Johnny Carson. That is an insult to anybody who's come before it. Even, even Conan, who wasn't political before he left the TV show. Even Arsenio hall, for God's sake. Late night is about entertaining, not about having your political discourse and dancing syringes for COVID vaccine. That's why you failed. You failed. You failed. You committed the ultimate sin when it comes to particularly satire you have to have a point. And you cannot just make stuff up unless you want to do absurd commercials or make fake products, things like that. But if you're going to make fun of something when it involves truth, it has to contain truth 2007.
- [12:56]
Late Night TV Commentator
That does make half of the country happy. Right?
- [12:59]
Rob Carson
You don't.
- [13:01]
Late Night TV Commentator
But you don't need to have the whole country watching your show. You only need half the country. That's a great show.
- [13:06]
Rob Carson
This is why, see, they've losing the argument. They don't even acknowledge what he has just said is 100% true. Even though Ben Ferguson don't know anything about comedy. That's why Late night is dead. There's no doubt about it. No doubt. I sound like Canadian. No doubt about it at all. They committed suicide on their own. Doesn't mean that political comedy is dead. Doesn't mean that late Night is dead. There's a genre for it. There's a place for comedy out there. You're watching one of them and you're listening to one of them. And speaking of which, coming up next, the state of Maryland wants to put tampon machines in Orioles ballpark and in Ravens ballpark and, and it's ridiculous. We're going to touch on this on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson Show.
- [13:55]
Donald Trump's election. No, no. It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the Rob Carson Show.
- [14:08]
It is a Rob Carson Show. Mark Meckler, convention of States, joins us at the bottom of the hour. Convention of states could be the way we, we save the republic should things go further south with regard to bastions of Islamism and idiocy around the country. Anyway, Mark Meckler, haven't talked to him a while. We'll talk to him at the bottom of the hour. Maryland should be ashamed of itself. I mean, honestly, Democrats in Maryland, you guys are such. I mean. Oh, boy. Wow. So embarrassing. So embarrassing. Maryland is seriously debating putting tampons in the bathrooms, men's bathrooms at Baltimore Ravens and Orioles stadiums. I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not a fan of vandalism and I wouldn't encourage it. But if I were in a men's bathroom and there were a tampon machine, I would be very tempted to. Oops, it fell off the wall. Son of a gun. Son of a gun. That's what a lot of boys are doing in, in middle schools and high schools because it's an assault to their masculinity. This is Kathy Zalega. She is A Republican in Maryland. The. The General Asylum. By the way, the moron who put this forward, Democrat delegate Ken Kerr. Who. Peace sitting down, insists the tampons must be appropriately sized. Ken Kerr. Remember that name. Because Ken probably rides sidesaddle on a bike and drinks soy lattes. Here is Kathy Zalega calling him out.
- [15:43]
Kathy Zalega
Menstrual hygiene products means appropriately sized tampons. What are appropriately sized tampons? I've never heard of such a thing. What do you consider appropriate?
- [15:58]
Mark Meckler
It.
- [15:58]
Ken Kerr
It just means that tampons are offered. There's no specific size.
- [16:03]
Rob Carson
Well, you. You need to be publicly shamed, you buffoon. Delegate Ken Kerr. They should put up signs around, you know, around Annapolis with your face on it mocking you.
- [16:15]
Kathy Zalega
Apparently there's four different sizes, so which one would you like them?
- [16:18]
Rob Carson
And do they have wings? Oh, no, that's the pads. I. Trust me, I've been to Target a few times. I've had to ask. It's embarrassing.
- [16:25]
Ken Kerr
Just a regular sized tampon in the bathroom.
- [16:28]
Kathy Zalega
Okay, maybe it should say that and not appropriately sized.
- [16:32]
Rob Carson
Yeah, Ken. Kurt, you use tampons. You probably use tampons.
- [16:36]
Kathy Zalega
Tampons.
- [16:36]
Rob Carson
Now you use man pods.
- [16:38]
Kathy Zalega
Is this going in all bathrooms? Men's and women's?
- [16:41]
Ken Kerr
Yes.
- [16:42]
Kathy Zalega
How about the Ravens stadium?
- [16:47]
Ken Kerr
If it is a state owned building, then yes.
- [16:53]
Rob Carson
Listen to what a manly man he is. Listen to that little diminutive. Little. Little weak.
- [16:59]
Ken Kerr
It would go in. It's a public building.
- [17:02]
Kathy Zalega
Oreo Park.
- [17:05]
Ken Kerr
Well, if it applies to the Raven Stadium, it would also apply to Orioles Park, I guess.
- [17:10]
Kathy Zalega
Pimlico.
- [17:11]
Rob Carson
Wow. Unbelievable. Ken Kerr.
- [17:13]
Kerr.
- [17:14]
He's a curra for sure. My God. What in the hell is wrong with you? What in the hell is wrong with you? What is wrong with your stupid leftist liberal mind? It's bad enough that you allow men to assault women in women's bathrooms by saying they're. They're women or putting men in women's prisons so they can rape their way through it. Now you want to put tampons in our bathroom? Honestly, I would, I would. They better make them pretty indestructible because I don't think that baseball fans, men, real men and football fans are going to be big fans of tampon machines in the bathroom. I mean, it's bad enough you have to occasionally make the trip to Target or Walmart and you got to get told to get those because I've had to do it a few times and inevitably I'm going to get the wrong kind. I don't know what the hell it is. What's Tampax Pearl. What the hell is a Tampax Pearl? You know, I thought, I was actually thinking about it. Pirates of the Caribbean could have done a marketing campaign for Tampax Pearl, call them Tampax Black Pearl and put Johnny Depp on there. You know, Campon Black Pearl. You know, I think they could sell the hell out of those. Other than that, I don't know what size, but they don't belong in the women's room or the men's room. They don't belong in the men's room. My God, you people are just so bloody stupid. All right, what we talk about here? No, here I go. I got this. This is something I've been wanting to share. You know, I've been talking about how when Donald Trump was elected, he was going to change the course of the world. And freedom and patriotism we're going to spread around the world. And it's happening and it's happening and it's happening. I'm not sure if we're going to have peace time for this. Peace. Right. Leaning candidates around are on the rise around the world, leading elections around the globe. But it is happening, what I predicted is happening. And we have to stay positive and don't give up. All right, but this is, this is Victor Davis Hansen. Well, again, one of my favorites talking about the direction of the world that Donald Trump is leading.
- [19:15]
Victor Davis Hanson
2026 looks like it's going to be the most tumultuous, geostrategically significant and dangerous years since all the Berlin Wall. But let's just review what's taking place right now. For the second time, we're bombing Iran. And this time the negotiations clearly were not going to lead to this 47 year problem.
- [19:36]
Mark Meckler
Res.
- [19:37]
Victor Davis Hanson
This follows the Maduro, what do we call it, kidnapping coup. At the same time, he's pressuring the Cubans. Trump is basically saying, you saw what happened to Venezuela, you saw what happened to Iran. You're not halfway across the world. You're right here, 90 miles away from us. And this will be a cakewalk if you don't try to reform and give your people a choice. And then we have the Ukraine war. He has convinced the Europeans that you have to do two things that they don't understand. You can't buy energy from Russia. Maybe he's lifted that because the straits are if Hormuz are closed temporarily, but you can't subsidize the Russian war machine and then tell the United States that because of your suicidal energy policies. You have to do that. But you also have to have the United States step in and save you. And so we're trying to find a solution. I don't know how they're all going to turn out, but there's a good chance they could turn out with the United States in a preeminent position that we haven't seen at least since World War II.
- [20:34]
Rob Carson
Isn't it nice when Superman comes back? Superman was gone. He gave up on the world. They tried to kill him. We reelected him and he's back and it's gonna change the world whether the Democrats like it or not. Let's take a break and come back. Mark Meckler, Convention of States on the Other side of the rink. Don't go anywhere.

I've been giving an update by listener the tampons for Timmy Bill is what they were calling it. I know, I know. Just like Tim Waltz in Minnesota. But the tampons in the bathrooms at Ravens and and Oriole Stadium in the state of of Maryland were shot down. So no tampons in the midst. My God, who the hell comes up with this stuff? It is. It is. I gotta tell you, I honestly, I don't know what sort of men think this is a good idea but fortunately the, the tampon machines would have been torn down and if, you know, if nobody else did it, I would do it myself because honestly, what an insult to masculinity. Honestly. Honestly. Joining me is somebody we have not had on the air in a while and it is a damn shame because he is a champion for liberty in America and other things. And he is also trying to put together a convention of states which could save the republic as. As we fight with leftism as Islamim. His name is Mark Meckler of Convention of States and he joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How you doing, bro?
- [23:05]
Mark Meckler
I'm doing great. Good to be with you, Rob.
- [23:07]
Rob Carson
It is good to be with you. No, there's a lot of stuff going on, brother. And I know since the last time we talked, you've added a state or two to the Convention of States. For those who are not familiar with convention of states, tell everybody what your plan is and how many states we are going to need for a convention of states since our Congress seems to be so ineffective. Been getting anything done despite the American people being in favor of things like voter ID.
- [23:34]
Mark Meckler
Yeah, look, I think if anybody's looking at Washington, D.C. and they're frustrated, and by the way, if you're not, you shouldn't be listening because we're frustrated. And so if you're watching D.C. and you think, well, they don't do anything right. They're not going to do anything right. They never do anything right. Well, then the question has to be, so what do we do about that? And there is something to do about it. The framers of the Constitution put a little magic remedy inside of Article 5 of the Constitution. Article 5 is where we get the power to amend. And they knew, they actually said to us that at some point the federal government will become a tyranny and we need to be able to do something to route around the federal government to fix the federal government. And that is to call what's called a convention of the states. It takes 34 states to call a convention of the states. The 34 states, 2/3 have to green in advance. What they want to talk about, in our case, what we want them to talk about is term limits, by the way, not just on, but also on the deep state. I think that's really important. Number two is fiscal restraints. People think about budget amendment, but it's also, Rob, tax caps, spending caps, imposing generally accepted accounting principles, anything to tie these guys down fiscally, which they'll never do to themselves.
- [24:44]
Rob Carson
No.
- [24:45]
Mark Meckler
And then finally, and I think most importantly is anything that takes, takes power away from the federal government. By that, I mean to say things to the federal government like, nope, can't be involved in education or energy or health care or the environment. These are all things and many more, including, say, agriculture, that the federal government was never meant to be involved in states all do this stuff on their own. We don't need the federal government and we can say no more in a convention of states. So it takes 34 states to green events just to meet. So far, we just passed the 20th state. That was Kansas, Kansas, 21 and 22. Ohio in the dock and North Carolina in the dock. I think those will be our next two. And so we're getting really close to actually calling this convention. Your listeners should note that President Trump is in support. He posted about this back in September. Pete Hegstaff, Caroline Levitt, Brooke Rollins at hag, all of these people, Mike Huckabee, they've all expressed their support for a long time, including the man of apparently all jobs, Marco Rubio.
- [25:45]
Rob Carson
Has he filled out an application now? You know, Mark, it's been a long time since we've talked and we've got to make this more regular. But think about this. You've got a Democrat party and I like to say what 85% of the American people want voter ID. 95% of Republicans, 95% of Republicans in the Senate support voter ID. But on the Democrat side, 70% of Democrats support voter ID. Nobody on Capitol Hill supports voter ID. The Democrat Party does not represent the Democrat voter anymore. And they take the Democrat Party knows that people with a D before their name will vote Democrat. That's why they haven't shipped toward the center. That's why they are not listening to the voters. That's why they're still looting the treasury, enriching their friends, still voting for boys and girls, sports and all of this. And what they expect to win. They can tie things by just having Democrats vote slavishly the Democrat Party. But they can't win without illegals. And the illegals are the voters that will allow them to continue their road to nonsense and corruption and the destruction of America. And, and this is why it's so bloody important to have a convention of states. Because right now at least half of the Congress and a good deal of Republicans are not representative and we are a representative republic.
- [27:02]
Mark Meckler
Yeah, I completely agree with that. And you know, you mentioned the SAVE act, voter id, this is critical. The vast majority of Americans support that. We could propose that in a convention. And I believe it's easily ratifiable. And so that's one of the things we can do. Here's another one that's I think a very simple one. The Democrats have promised to pack the Supreme Court if they get the House to send to the presidency. They will do that. When they do that, by the way, your listeners should know the very first thing they've said this that they're going to do is take away our gun rights. So we have to fix the Supreme Court at 9. You can do that in a convention of the states. And then the last one I'm thinking of, like on a permanent basis that I think is super important, is we actually can give the state equal authority to enforce their borders. Texas, where I live, had a big problem with this during the Biden administration. This shouldn't be an argument. State should be able to prevent an invasion. We can do that constitutionally.
- [27:53]
Rob Carson
How is it in Texas since Donald Trump took office? Because it was a living hell for a lot of people down there, particularly along the border. Property owners there, you know, finding bodies, enduring all sorts of crime, towns being overridden. What is it like in Texas since the border has been sealed?
- [28:12]
Mark Meckler
I mean, to say that it's radically different would be a gross understatement. I think one of the best examples I can give you is a place called McAllen, Texas. Oh, yes, Eagle Passes. What people know of. I mean, what's going on in Eagle Pass and McAllen, Texas right now is nothing. It's a normal town.
- [28:30]
Rob Carson
Wow.
- [28:30]
Mark Meckler
Back to being a normal place with a normal. Used to drive through McAllen. I'm not exaggerating, Rob. I've been down there a lot. You would just see gangs of illegal aliens all over the streets. Go to any 7, 11, any gas station, any convenience store. You see 20, 30 of them. In all of those places, the town was completely overrun. Education system was being overrun, their hospitals, their law enforcement. It's back to just normal life in a border town in Texas. It's a beautiful thing.
- [28:58]
Rob Carson
Does Talarico have a chance of winning down there? He is bat guano crazy. He wants vegan. Everybody in his staff is vegan. He believes God is non binary. I mean, he's nuts, man. I have. I think he's a gift to the republic or to the, to the Republican Party versus anybody.
- [29:14]
Mark Meckler
Anybody who thinks it can't happen is delusional. And you got to be really careful. We got to find out as hard as we possibly can. The last two times that Cruz has been elected, in my opinion, it was too close for my liking. You know, it was single digits, it was not double digits. And if you look at the polling right now, and we're a ways out, so I don't put a lot of stead in this. But if you look at the polling right now, Tellarico beats both Cornyn and Paxton. So I think this is a dangerous situation. We got to be really careful. Look, I think the best name I've heard Quinn from is Teller. Evil. Because he is truly evil. I don't mean that facetiously. This is a guy that uses scripture to promote the lgp, lgb, whatever, Alphabet soup agenda, transgenderism, abortion. We are taught scripturally, if we're believers, that Satan knows scripture better than anybody. This guy quotes scripture like Satan.

Rob Carson
Oh, brother. I know. What do you think about Paxton, Cornyn? It sounds like Paxton's not in front. Everybody is convinced that Paxton cannot win because of dirty laundry and all of that. I have a feeling, and I know Ken Paxton. I think that they're afraid of him. What do you think?
- [30:21]
Mark Meckler
Yeah, I think they should be afraid of him. I've known Ken for a very long time. I, full disclosure, I consider him a friend. He does have baggage, though, and so we got to be cautious about that. But the thing I like about Ken is is he literally proven himself. His nerves of steel. He will stand in any firefight. He doesn't care what's coming at him.
- [30:41]
Rob Carson
Yeah.
- [30:41]
Mark Meckler
Not going to knuckle under. They've thrown everything at criminal prosecutions, impeachment. They've thrown at him. Everything you could possibly throw. He is, in a way, the junior Donald Trump. He doesn't have the same media savvy as Donald Trump.
- [30:55]
Rob Carson
No.
- [30:55]
Mark Meckler
But as far as his ability to withstand the assault, Teflon ag. I think the only thing better than having him in the Senate would be to have him as the AG of the United States of America.
- [31:05]
Rob Carson
Yeah, brother. All right, Mark Meckler. Can you hold on through the break? I have many more questions I want to ask you. Can you do that?
- [31:11]
Mark Meckler
Absolutely.
- [31:12]
Rob Carson
All right, Mark Meckler, President, convention of States. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. More with Mark Meckler, convention of states. In one moment, gold is at 45, 54 an ounce. I don't want to get you confused here about all this, but you know, it's going to fluctuate a little bit. It was at 5,600 in January, and you're thinking, oh, my God, oh, my God, what am I going to do? It went down and all that. Then you realize, no, no, no, not so much. They're still saying the second quarter, $5,800 for gold. That's a lot of people are predicting that. Anz is predicting that. I believe they said it looks like, yeah, Anz. Anz Said that they are a big commodities broker. Gold prices appear consolidating around $5,000. But ANZ said they expect prices to hit 5,800 an ounce in the second quarter, up sharply from their previous target of $5,400 per ounce. So there you go. Maybe it's an opportunity for you to get in while gold is low. Gold is at 4,500. It was at 4,300 two days ago. Before it makes a meteoric run, you might want to text my name, rob to 989-898. Rob to 989-898. Silver's really low, too. I'm seriously, I'm gonna buy. I think I'm gonna do like 10 ounces. I'm gonna say, hey, come on, baby, because it's down in 60 bucks an ounce, something like that. That's very affordable. And it went way up when $115 earlier this year. And the demand for silver is not going to go anywhere. So while there's a break, text my name, Rob to 989-898 for Birch Gold. Birch gold has a. A star rating from the bbb and they've got my money. Okay. I don't mess around. I don't have a lot of money. Just throw around. Okay. I don't have a waiting pool full of gold chips that I can do, you know, coins that I can roll around in. I just got a couple of them. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898 for Birch Cold. And they'll get the ball rolling. No information, just. Or no, no, no. You know, they're not going to sign you up for anything. Okay. Just information. Okay. No obligation whatsoever. Mark Meckler, Convention of states.convention of states.com. if you want to sign up, I get on it because honestly, I'm frustrated. Our congress isn't doing what we want for some damned reason. We've got a. You know, we were. We houses of congress, John Thune can't do a simple reconciliation to pass something that 85% of the American people want. Mark Meckler. This is why we need convention estate, because they're not doing what we're asking them to do. Are you there, Mark?
- [33:45]
Mark Meckler
Yeah, I'm here. I hear you.
- [33:46]
Rob Carson
Okay. Okay. Sorry about that. I mean, they're not doing what we're asking them to do. So I'm thinking convention of states has to be our back office up.
- [33:56]
Mark Meckler
Yeah. Look, not only are they not doing. Rob, this is the most important part. They're not going to do it. I don't care who you send to Congress, I don't care how many good people you send to Congress. We should do that. We should always matter because the system is broken. And unless we put in structural restraints on these people, we have to do that. We have to acknowledge human nature. They don't want term limits. They don't want to limit their own spending. They don't want to limit their own power. We are going to have to do those things. And I think the most important thing to note is that the framers knew this. This is not a surprise. I know literally in the convention almost 243 years ago, they said, are we so naive that we believe that a federal government that becomes a tyranny will propose amendments to restrain its own tyranny? Now, I wish we had video because I guarantee you, they laugh because that's so ridiculous. Yes, nobody restrains their own tyranny. We have to do it. We the people. And our method is by calling a convention of the state.
- [34:51]
Rob Carson
Well, so much has happened since we spoke the last time, Mark. We have discovered that our government is, as I predicted, as corrupt as the Soviet union, but with $7 trillion to waste. And I want to see some damn people go to jail. I want to see people like Tim Wurtz and Keith Ellison and Gavin Newsom. I want to see people. I want to see politicians arrested and spend the rest of their bloody lives in prison. Mark, Mark, I'm sick of this nonsense. I never realized that. I'm just so glad that Donald Trump won, because now that evil has exposed its flank, we can kick its butt. But, you know, they're not going down easy, are they? The evil is not going down easy. Corruption has got going out easy. They're going to fight us every. Every step of the way, aren't they?
- [35:37]
Mark Meckler
They are going to fight us every step of the way. And you started with something that I think is really important. If we're going to save the Republic, people have to go to jail. And it's that simple. Not just about your personal satisfaction or mine, just about having a deterrent. So if you're collector, if you're in the bureaucracy and you know that you can get away with this stuff, and the worst thing that will happen is that you'll just, maybe you'll get caught. And then, frankly, if you're a Democrat, you'll get caught. And what will happen is you'll get a nice college professorship or presidency or something. If that's the worst thing will happen, then why would you not do it? We have no deterrence in our political system against total corruption. And until people go to jail, there will be no deterrence.
- [36:17]
Rob Carson
All right, listen, we got to wrap things up today, but Mark, I want to have you on regularly. It's been too long since we had you on convention of states.com convention of states.com how else can people get involved and know more about what you are, what you are doing and how can we make this revolution happen?
- [36:32]
Mark Meckler
Yeah, go to convention of states.com of course. And then follow me on X at
- [36:36]
Rob Carson
Mark Meckler, Brother, I appreciate you. God bless you and have a glorious day. I am optimistic not only for this country, but also peace and prosperity and freedom spreading around the world as this president marches on. Brother, we'll talk again soon. Okay?
- [36:51]
Mark Meckler
God bless you, Rob.
- [36:52]
Rob Carson
Thanks. Alright, let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. If you want to come join me for the glorious trip October 25th through the 29th here in Washington, D.C. where we're going to do guided tours of everything. And it's going to be five days and four nights including premium hotel accommodation, four nights in the heart of D.C. six meals, ground transportation guides and gratuities. Go to travelwithrob.net do that. Okay. Travelwithrob.net travelwithrob.net will kane does a great show afternoons on Fox. He's one of the only good things over there and he has exposed the hospice fraud in California. All of this is your tax dollars and people are going to have to go to jail.
- [37:34]
Will Kane
This is the hospice epicenter. Los Angeles county, ground zero. The state has recorded $3.5 billion in taxpayer losses. That's because they have over 1,923 hospice providers. That in Los Angeles county is more than 36 states total hospices combined they had 112 in one commercial building, 112 hospice centers licensed by the state.
- [38:05]
Rob Carson
Licensed by the state. The people in charge of the state did not see that or look past it. When are people going to start going to jail? When are people going to start going to jail? Meanwhile, Jon Stewart is calling out Bernie Sanders. And you know why? Nothing ever gets done when they come up with spending packages in Washington D.C. wonder why everything in Washington, D.C. is still broken that he campaigned on when he originally ran for Congress. Everything is still broken, yet he now now has four houses.
- [38:36]
Policy Analyst
Again. This gets to the democratic solutions have never been to directly provide. It's always been a subsidy.
- [38:47]
Late Night TV Commentator
Absolutely right.
- [38:48]
Policy Analyst
But what happens is when the government promises endless funds to insurance companies or private universities without any cost controls. And Trump seems to understand that this prices rise far beyond the rate of inflation. And we've seen Obamacare in tuition and we've seen it in pharmaceutical and we've seen it in health care. So my question is, will Democrats recognize the poison pill that they've often placed into well intentioned policy?
- [39:23]
Rob Carson
Yeah, well intention.
- [39:24]
Victor Davis Hanson
What they end up doing is coming up with very complicated.
- [39:28]
Rob Carson
You make $48,964 you will get. No, no. What happens is you come up with spending proposals and we start sending our money in that direction and it's always just stolen. $787 billion for infrastructure. And in, in Barack Obama's White House, he said nothing was done because the projects weren't shovel ready. Joe Biden $1.5 trillion on green energy. Bull crap. Most of it stolen. Where are all those electric buses or vehicles for the postal service? $150 million for electric buses in a company in Canada gone. No buses delivered. I mean I could go on and on. A 40% increase in the size of our federal government. Hundreds of billions of dollars going to NGOs. Medicare fraud larger than you could ever imagine. Yet Medicare is still broken. Why? Because it's always been looted and they never do anything. Bernie Sanders, as long as he's been in Washington D.C. the same things are broken that were there when he went there, that he promised to fix. The only thing that has changed is he's really rich and now he has four houses and you don't. You might be lucky if you even have one. There's a real good chance you don't because you can't afford it because the government made it twice as expensive to buy a home in the last five years. That's the problem. People are going to have to start going to jail. Pam Bondi it's time. Perp walks. Prosecutions, convictions, imprisonment. That's how it works. God bless you. America's founded. Donald Trump as he's making America great again. Of course our military, that's kicking butt and taking names. And until tomorrow, which is Thursday, do not catch the stupid. I'll see you then
