Transcript

[Marissa Stright]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

[Rob Carson]

Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun.

[Marissa Stright]

If we made $15 bills, but it.

[Rob Carson]

Turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[Marissa Stright]

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com.

[Rob Carson]

Hold it.

[Marissa Stright]

Now.

[Rob Carson]

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. This is the Rob Carson show and the numbers 800-9226-ATR. We're streaming live on Newsmax Rumble Channel and also Twitter and also Facebook. You can see the show, you can see me in the studio and everything. And the hair is voluminous. The hair is voluminous today it's like Conan o' Brien on the radio. And I'm grateful because medicine has treated my hair very well and, and continues to. Anyway, welcome to the show. Please come inside. Much coming up, including the the CEO of PragerU is going to join us. Melissa Straight is going to join us at the bottom of the Marissa Stride, I should say, is going to join us at the bottom of the arm. Looking forward to talking to her. Dennis Prager is, has experienced a health crisis and it sounds like things are great. He is an amazing guy. And so we're going to talk to her about all sorts of stuff. All sorts of stuff. What we are under. We are finding that our federal government is the largest criminal enterprise in the history of the world with hundreds and thousands of people in the crime family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Staggering number of federal workers are accepting buyouts amid Doge's mass purge of bloated bureaucracies. The buyout was one of just many approaches that Trump and Elon Musk Department of Government efficiency have taken to dismantle the bloated bureaucracy slash the civilian workplace workforce of 2.3 million. Officials have been told some agencies could see a 70% cut in their staff. And we heard it yesterday. You know, you're talking about the Iron Mountain and how they, they, they literally, if you want to retire from the government, they make a phone call to Iron Mountain. The Iron Mountain gnomes go over there and they get in the Elevator and they go down the, the shaft there and give us the shaft. Hey, hey, hey. And they get a manila folder with your name on it, the retiree. And then they bring it out to the elevator and they go back to the elevator, and that's how they're doing it. And the reason being is because when you have a bloated bureaucracy, you have too many people and not enough work. And that's why they keep things antiquated. Right, Right. I've worked union jobs, and I'm not saying all union jobs, but there are a lot of union jobs. You're a union member, you do the least amount of work to get by. You put off the work to do as long as you can. I've never been that person. I've always done as much work at work as I can. That's just the way I am. When I worked at this union stop, Carl, we'd go out on the line and drive in the truck and he'd say, oh, no, no, slow down, Rob, slow down. We're going to take a nap. So he'd take a nap in the truck while I'm over here. You know, they have these pipeline markers and we actually have to scrape them off and paint them. And you'd have to go through marshes and stuff knee deep and muck. That's what I did in college. Oh, my God, it was so fun. And in Carl would take a nap because he was a union guy and he was just trying to work towards his pension. And they try to, you know, make it last as long as possible. That's the way it was. The government, it is a way of life. The government, it is a way of life. On Wednesday, District Judge or o', Toole, not Peter, denied a request for an injunction and lifted a temporary pause in the Trump administration's fork in the road initiative that offered buyouts to 2 million federal workers. So if you guys want to take this buyout, I'm just going to tell you right now, you better take it. You better take it because you're going to get fired. A lot of you are going to get fired. Because if you, and you know who you are, you, you, you stayed home and you didn't come back to work and you, you know, lays around and you're not doing everything you can at home. You're not 99, 94% of the federal workforce in D.C. didn't go to work the last, the last four years. And, you know, the gravy trains over. The gravy train is over now. Now One of the judges who's kind of tried to throw a wrench in all of this is, is Judge John McConnell. Did you know about this guy? Well, Representative Andrew Clyde has announced that he's drafting articles of impeachment against Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointed activist masquerading at a judge as undermining President Trump's agenda. And Here is John McConnell in his own words just a couple years ago. Do you think this man can be fair minded?

[Marissa Stright]

You have to take a moment and realize that this middle class, white male, privileged.

[Rob Carson]

He's talking about Donald Trump person needs.

[Marissa Stright]

To understand the human being that comes before us that may be a woman and may be black, maybe transgender.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, it sounds like he's down with.

[Marissa Stright]

The DEI in many ways. Racism is a white people problem and white people need to figure out how to solve it.

[Rob Carson]

I've never been a racist in my life. You Jack Weed.

[Marissa Stright]

I mean when we saw, you know, the Jim Crow laws and whatnot, those are Democrat where courts stand and enforce the rule of law. That is against arbitrary and capricious action by what could be a tyrant or could be whatnot. We saw plenty of examples of that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, he's talking about Donald Trump. He's a typical federal judge appointee by Democrats. They don't give a crap about the Constitution because they hate it. They wipe their butts with it. Rob Schmidt was talking last night to Tom Fitton by the way. He's a brilliant judicial watch as his organization about these, these radical judges and how they're going to get a little. What firm.

[Marissa Stright]

Yeah. When you have a series of judges.

[Rob Carson]

Making extraordinary rulings that I think most.

[Marissa Stright]

Would agree wouldn't have been made in similar circumstances for the president of another political party or anyone not named Trump for that matter.

[Rob Carson]

You have to raise the question about whether politics is, is where politics are behind these Judicial Judge Bershan, anybody rulings or the rule of law.

[Marissa Stright]

You know, typically, you know, judges don't.

[Rob Carson]

Intervene in a light. Jack Smith, anybody?

[Marissa Stright]

The way these judges have intervened to prevent the president from doing what presidents since beginning of time have been able to do, which is to exercise the.

[Rob Carson]

Executive function, for instance, of firing someone. Yeah, yeah.

[Marissa Stright]

Or pausing funding for a minute and.

[Rob Carson]

A half to make sure there's nothing fraudulent going on.

[Marissa Stright]

And you know, when you think about this as a non lawyer, you know, one of the things that you kind.

[Rob Carson]

Of figure out when you're asking for quick action from a court is oh.

[Marissa Stright]

You got to act quickly because there's irreparable harm. What's the emergency here.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, exactly. They're making political decisions and they're doing everything to C block Donald Trump's agenda. That's just the way they do it. Here's Caroline Levitt now. She's talking about this. I don't know if you do this. This. By the way, I have a little montage. This is a little montage. I can find it here of, of Democrats. Democrats talking about. Where is that? The constitutional crisis. Here we go. This is a montage of Democrats saying that what Donald Trump is doing is a constitutional crisis. We might be on the path to a constitutional crisis.

[Marissa Stright]

You'll ask two experts about whether or not this is.

[Rob Carson]

I'll explain why I'm playing this in a second.

[Marissa Stright]

A constitutional crisis.

[Rob Carson]

We've never faced quite the constitutional crisis that we do right now. They are fomenting a constitutional crisis. Are we staring down the barrel of a constitutional crisis? This is an existential constitutional crisis. A constitutional cris. The. The thing about that little montage that has played there, that was 2017, when Donald Trump was in office the last time. That was how they treated Donald Trump the last time he was president. So this talking point about constitutional crisis is bull. Crap is bull. El crabola. Here is Caroline Levin talking about the constitutional crisis, and there is none, by the way. He's just doing what the American people want.

[Marissa Stright]

Now, before I take questions, I would like to address an extremely dishonest narrative that we've over the past few days.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. Many outlets in this room have been.

[Marissa Stright]

Fear mongering the American people into believing there is a constitutional crisis taking place here at the White House. I've been hearing those words a lot.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, the Democrats are going to have a constipational crisis. Yeah, they're going to be crapping their pants lately.

[Marissa Stright]

But in fact, the real constitutional crisis is taking place within our judicial branch, where district court judges in liberal districts across the country are abusing their power to unilaterally block President Trump's basic executive authority. We believe these judges are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters of the law.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Marissa Stright]

And they have issued at least 12 injunctions against this administration in the past 14 days, often without citing any evidence or grounds for their lawsuit.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you.

[Marissa Stright]

This is part of a larger concerted effort by Democrat activists and nothing more than the continuation of the weaponization of.

[Rob Carson]

Justice against its movie vampires. They're dying. They're getting the stake driven into their hearts and they're trying to drag you into hell.

[Marissa Stright]

Didn't Trump. Quick news flash to these Liberal judges who are supporting their obstructionist efforts. 77 million Americans voted to elect this president.

[Rob Carson]

That is true.

[Marissa Stright]

And each injunction is an abuse of the rule of law and an attempt to thwart the will of the people.

[Rob Carson]

As it is.

[Marissa Stright]

As the president clearly stated in the Oval Office yesterday, we will comply with the law in the courts, but we will also continue to seek every legal remedy to ultimately overturn these radical injunctions and ensure President Trump's policies can be enacted.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, because that's the will of the people.

[Marissa Stright]

3500 arrests ICE has made so far. How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally? All of them. Because they illegally broke our nation's laws and therefore they are criminals.

[Rob Carson]

She's no KJP Jim Gossett, more like Kaylee and Sarah. Her first press briefing was strong. Kaboom. Woo. She deals in facts. Da, da, da. Not liberal propaganda. Get ready to sing, people. We have been lied to for so long. Here we go. Come on, Boston hand, raise your hand. Be polite or she won't. Here we go. Call on you. Meet Caroline. Kicking butt and taking names. Some names, some names, some names. She's not inclined to let report play their games. Sweet Caroline. There you go. Oh, it's so glorious. It's so, so very glorious. Isn't it? Yeah. Doge is uncovering all sorts of malfeasance and nonsense. Republican Party is kicking butt. You know why? Because they're on the side of good.

[Marissa Stright]

Over the last 20 years, the United States government has wasted 2.7 trillion in improper payments. Just last year, $170 billion. Were overpayments made the dead people criminals?

[Rob Carson]

Are those no longer eligible for government programs? Over $44 billion.

[Marissa Stright]

$44 billion.

[Rob Carson]

$44 billion. Over $44 billion. Wow. Were made in payments that could be here or not. They just don't know. Medicare and Medicaid are the biggest contributors to proper payment. Under the Biden administration, $764 billion went up in flames due to many factors like inaccurate record keeping or outright fraud. By taking a deep dive into these.

[Marissa Stright]

Organizations, the Doge Subcommittee can effectively eliminate the money.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And you know, I don't know if you knew this, that the last president, that pudding for brains buffoon, he also took tens of millions of dollars from our country's enemies. And he is a metaphor for the Democrat Party and the deep state in this country. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is not an ev. And it never will be. What we're getting to is essentially the coffin where the vampire sleeps. And that's what USAID is. They found the coffin. You know, and maybe that coffin does hand out sandwiches in Guatemala or something occasionally. But for the most part, what they're doing is they're controlling the entire federal government and they're controlling the mindset, the zeitgeist of the population. Yeah, I told you, the left dies like movie vampires.

[Marissa Stright]

We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here we are.

[Rob Carson]

I want to apologize. I want to say I'm sorry that you have to put up with this offensive coming out. I told you, movie vampires have been using that forever. They die like movie vampires. Oh, Steve Mannon is mentioning here. Cash Patel passes the Senate rfk, of course, is the new HH secretary, which means that we're going to get healthier because I didn't realize for years I was poisoning my children. I thought, oh, you know, oops, all berries crunch. It's cute. No, it's poison Lunchables. Oh, my God. They're so great. They're so easy. They're so terrible for you. I've been looking at the, the in the grocery store. I, I just want to get some damned breadsticks, right? Some, some cheesy breadsticks to throw along with the, the meal that I made last night. I looked at the breadsticks like the ingredient label was 3 inches thick. I said, I'm not putting this crap in my, in my oven. And I'm looking at it all. I'm looking at all these seed oils, you know, corn oil, all these canola oil. They're crap. They will kill you. All of these dyes, all this bull crap. I was talking to Jack Heath, the voice of New Hampshire, and he said, you know, if you can leave a bread in your, you know, on your counter and leave for two weeks and come back and the bread is still fine, you probably will throw that bread away because if it doesn't have mold on it, you want to throw it away. I want to go to Chris. Chris in Fort Worth. Hello, my friend. Welcome to the Rob Carson Show. What's on your mind today?

[Marissa Stright]

My man Rob reporting in from Fortress Fort Worth. And I couldn't be happier.

[Rob Carson]

Me, too, bro. You know, I love Elon and Mr. Big Balls. Yes, they got right.

[Marissa Stright]

And I love to hear.

[Rob Carson]

It's like music to my ears, the squealing of pigs.

[Marissa Stright]

And it just brings me such happiness. And I just keep doing what you guys are doing. We Got front. Me and the public have a front row seat, I know, to this wonderful show.

[Rob Carson]

And I just want Elon to clean it up. Yeah, bro. Well, Chris, we're witnessing history, brother. We are witnessing history. Every day wake up with a smile on your face and know that the left is being stomped into the ground and there are decades of abuse. This what I've called conservative apartheid we've had to live through is on the way out. And the Big Meat is dying because they've been exposed as liars and, and propagandists and, and. It's a glorious day, Chris. I appreciate you, brother. Have a good day. Have a good one. Somebody says don't think we're getting that Pop Tart sponsorship now. Well, you know, honestly, here's the thing. I have always said all things in moderation and occasionally to excess. Do I say you need to stop eating at all? No, just don't eat as much about it. Much of it. And you know, like, like I love me some Oreos. Will five Oreos kill you? No. But if you eat Oreos every friggin day, you're gonna get heart disease. You will, you will. That stuff in the middle is plaque. You might as well be. You know, you just gotta make some choices. And listen, honestly, a lot of the things that are not allowed in other countries that are allowed here. And then let's look at our FDA. 75% of its funding comes from the damn food companies. Same go, same goes with, with Big Pharma. Big Pharma funds the hhs, the cdc, they fund them so they give rubber stamps to crap that isn't good for us. Because it's all about the money, baby. That's it. Here's Donald Trump talking about the tremendous fraud which I am so glad we know about. Hold on one second. My computer's being weird. How long they're gonna control shift and that escape and whether the end of the broadcast because you know this friggin thing just really ticks me off in task and in TA occasionally I've got to shut things down because this program that I use is called XSPLIT broadcaster and it's very big and it's very heavy. All right. And if you know what I'm talking about, sometimes the, the, the RAM and the computer is not big enough. Don't take that. You know, Hunter, I'm not talking about that ram. Apologize. I want to say I don't know. So I got to do that. Okay. Somebody wrote me high fructose corn syrup. You know, honestly, corn syrup is really not desperately bad for you. All right? Corn syrup is a sweetener. You know what's probably actually worse for you is the fake crap. The fake corn syrup. Not the fake, but the saccharine and the. The Splenda. And by the way, there's no way you can say the word sp. Splenda without sounding fabulous. It's got to be like, you know, I'd like a black iced coffee with Splenda. You know, that's. That. But. But there are things, you know, that are bad for you. But again, in moderation, high fructose corn syrup is. Is. Is a sugar. That's just the way it is. You know what's actually really bad for you? The sugar in booze. The sugar in booze is bad for you because you eat. You drink a lot of booze. Booze is. Is, you know, is loaded with sugar. Is loaded with sugar. So what I do is I, you know, I try to make my meals and use fresh ingredients. And I'll throw this out because I've been doing these green chef meals lately. And a green Chef, you know, you get a package, right? And it's got. Inside is a bag, and it's got all the ingredients to make whatever. And it's weird because if you open the bag up and you look at the. Here's a carrot. Well, what are the ingredients in that? A carrot. Okay, well, here's the beef. What's the beef got in it? Well, it's, you know, it's got beef in it, and there aren't any seed oils or all that crap. So I've been. I've been doing that. And actually, it's cheaper than groceries because I'll go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of stuff.

[Marissa Stright]

And.

[Rob Carson]

And by the time I use it, by the time I use it, you know, it's moldy. So, you know, I don't eat the whole head of cauliflower. Anyway, I want to throw that greenchef.com. if you do Newsmax free as the code, you're going to get, what is it? Two weeks of salads and 50% off your. Your. Your first order. So I'll just throw that out there because they are a sponsor of the broadcast greenchef.com Newsmax free. But. But honestly, I'm overhauling what I did. I got rid of all the crap in my cabinet about four months ago, and in four months, I went down 80 points in my cholesterol. And guess what? I didn't have to take statins. I didn't have to take statins. Isn't that amazing? Because I didn't want to take statins. You know why? Because big pharma wants me to go on statins. And everybody I know who's on statins is all sorts of messed up. And I didn't want to do it because cholesterol isn't all bad. Sometimes it's actually good. And if you get rid of it, you're going to mess your body up. There you go. Let's take a break. The head of Prager University joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Prosper Wellness. Do your knees hurt? I know mine do. They feel like rusty old hinges. And I looked for a solution for years until I found this.

And joining us is a special guest. I am a huge fan of Prager University. Marissa Stright is the CEO of Prager University. I. I want to welcome her to the show. Marissa, welcome and thank you for joining us today.

[Marissa Stright]

Rob, it's a great honor to join you and thanks for loving Prager U. I appreciate the shout out.

[Rob Carson]

I gotta tell you, I cannot get enough Dennis Prager. I have watched so many of his videos. I appreciate what you do. I know that he has had some health concerns. I want to start by saying our thoughts and prayers are indeed with him. I saw something on your Twitter feed. It sounds like he's doing well, and I just want you to know we were thinking about you, and I'll just. If you wouldn't mind, would you share with us how he's doing, give us kind of an update?

[Marissa Stright]

Absolutely. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the prayers, and I share with Dennis that people all over the country are praying for him, and it means so much to him. And thank God. We've seen miracles since his injury. You know, he hit his head and hit his spinal cord. That's a very serious injury. But a few months into it now, he's doing so much better. He's really building a routine for himself. He makes sure that he gets his hair cut and his face shaved, and he's starting to speak more. Last time I saw him a couple of weeks ago, he said, you know what, Marissa? I think I'm going to start giving lectures again by late April. So God willing, that will happen. But there is no bigger, greater fighter. I think that Dennis Prager, because he loves life so much and so. Well, thanks for the prayers.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah. This. You know, I can't imagine something like that happen when something gets thrown your way, you know, all you can do is hope and. And pray. And I got to tell you, I've known a lot of people, and I believe that prayer can be as powerful as a lot of medical procedures. I really believe that from the bottom of my heart. So our thoughts are with him, certainly. I saw a bit of your interview with Tulsi Gabbard. Pretty cool. You know, I'm. I don't. I'm trying to figure out why the left, whenever the left is against a candidate like this cabinet, it immediately tells me that. Now, you know, I think she's the right person for the job. What do you think?

[Marissa Stright]

Well, the left loves women they can control, and Tulsi is not a woman they could control, which is, I think, why you and I love her so much, because she's just absolutely real. You know, when Tulsi came in to Prageru for the interview on my show Real Talk, I asked her, tulsi, is there anything you want me to stay away from? You know, are there any issues that are sensitive? This was an hour and a half almost interview, and she said, there's nothing you can't ask me. I'm a complete open book. I'll be real with you. And so I asked her about her childhood and what happened and her experience in the military. And I think this is what America wants. We just want real People that are not manipulated by the strings of whoever wants to puppeteer them. And certainly Tulsi might be a disagreeable personality for some, but to us, she's just real. And she's a patriot and she's a human being. She's a real human being that we can actually get to know.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And she's, pardon the expression, kind of a badass, too. I might mention that she's pretty. An amazing woman, a pretty powerful woman, a very strong person. And here's the thing. The Democrats only have themselves to blame that Tulsi Gabbard is now on our side and people like Elon Musk are now on our side. They blew it. They blew it, didn't they? And I think they're having a hard time grasping the fact that the movement, the leftist movement, the class of 1968 movement, is not on life support. It's dead. What do you think about that?

[Marissa Stright]

Well, I agree. I think they killed themselves. And so in so many ways, we can thank them. I think that the lockdowns also killed them because people started opening their eyes and they started realizing that they're being lied to. And I think women are actually waking up because women went to college and we were told that, you know, the society wants us to be strong and that society wants to believe us and that we should have an equal voice. And then they take somebody like Tolphie and they shut her up. And so women look at that and say, wait a second, I thought you wanted to hear our voice. And when all you want is to be a puppet, then we run away from that. And, you know, that replicates itself with mothers as well. Right. You know, you keep lying to us, eventually, eventually something's going to hit home. And so, yes, I think they. They overplayed their hands.

[Rob Carson]

The Democrat Party only wants women for two things, their vote and to be abortion supporters or recipients. That's it. If they weren't anything but that, then they would say that men shouldn't compete with girls in sports. If they. If they did, they would care about other issues that affect women. And they don't. They don't. It's very clear right now that the Democrat Party cares about as much about women as it does about people of color, because they always expect their votes on. On election day and then abandon. Abandon them completely the day after the election. That's what I think.

[Marissa Stright]

Yeah. And I would also add that they want women to be corporate slaves. Right. They want to sell us on this supposed idea that we don't really want to have a family. We don't want to have children. Let's just freeze our eggs. They'll even pay for it. And we'll be so happy if we just, you know, keep working for big corporations. And you know, they, they do try. They think that they can play on our emotions. They think of us as emotional people. But you know, women are not just emotions. We have brains too. And Tulsi is a perfect example of that, where while we try to play into our fears and our emotions, that's not gonna work. It hasn't worked. And I think even in the last election, we've seen that so many people are waking up. There is the blessing of the Internet and social media. Obviously it comes with many challenges too. But I think the great blessing is that we are, we are awake now. We're awake and we have access to full interviews and content that can really help us discern and realize what the truth is. And I think women like Tulsi are just getting started. We're going to see more people like her who are turning away and are saying, you can't use me anymore.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you know, I mentioned that with regard to abortion, the one thing, and this is a big deal to me, I'll tell you. I am adopted. And I found out about five, six years ago that I was, I was adopted because I was, my mother was raped. And so I had always been pro life, but now I have that, that arrow in my quiver. And, and, and the Democrat Party since Roe v. Wade has convinced women that the most valuable thing, the most, I don't know, the greatest thing that could happen in their lives is not to gestate and give birth to a child, but to actually end the child's life before the child is born. And that is a brainwashing that has taken place over the years. And then of course, all of the lies about Roe v. Wade, there will be back alley abortions and coat hanger abortions and all this. If Roe v. Wade is gone and look what happened. It didn't happen. It was all a lie. It was all a facade. And I just have never understood that because, you know, you've got a group of women who are fine with telling, oh, those people in color in inner cities, they can have an abortion. But when, you know, whatever Ms. Cul de sac dwelling, yoga pants wearing, drinking, Target shopping, you know, white liberal wants to have a baby, then it's the most precious thing in the world. They want to share it on social media. You know what I mean? It's always this Kind of let them eat cake. Liberalism, that is always, we live separate from you, but we'll make the decisions for you that are better for you. And if you're a lesser class, then, you know, honestly, having a baby be born is, Is, you know, it's something you don't want to have happen. It is really, really remarkable. Honestly, I don't want to make this exclusively about that, but this is what the Democrat Party is. Let me ask you this about the last few days and all of the absolute corruption of the Democrat Party in the deep state in this country. Did you ever in your life expect that the, the. That our federal government, every department of governments, could be so rife with absolute corruption?

[Marissa Stright]

You know, I actually did expect that there is corruption because, you know, if you, if you study communism in the way that we have at Prageru, you realize that the bigger the government, the smaller the citizen, and the more the government takes, the more corruption there is going to be. And so actually evil in the hands of the government does not surprise me. What surprises me, and this is where I say, only God, only God could have brought us to this moment, is that we're actually able to do something about it. What an absolute miracle. And I would also say for those who are listening, how lucky we are to have our eyes wide open and see how God is working through our country right now. Because the miracle of being able to get in there and actually clean up the swamp. Only God could have done something this, this powerful for us, and we're lucky to be aware of it. There are many people around America right now who are still brainwashed, who are going through what I call the washers, the educational systems that are controlled by, not liberals, but the left, by Marxist leftists who are constantly brainwashing young children, and they grow up into this idea that the government's going to take care of them. And so for those of us who are actually witnessing this with eyes wide open, we are so lucky to see God's miracles and what, you know, he is doing to help us. And of course, we can't just rely on God. I think this is this moment where we all need to come together and say, we are seeing these miracles and we are going to participate. We are going to participate in whatever way we can to make sure that during this time that's been allotted to us to clean out the rot and go after the education institutions, go after all the institutions that you've mentioned, we need to do whatever it is that we can because we've been given an absolute miracle, a chance.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, I come from the Jesuit tradition. Education, raised Catholic only Catholic school for one year. But I believe that, you know, science and faith can exist in astronomy and faith can exist in chemistry, and faith can exist. And, and I have said for many years that, you know, there is a rule of the universe that is without doubt and that is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's just the way it is. The same goes with the yin and the yan. That's what the yin and the yan is. And then you've got good and evil. We've had evil run roughshod over our country and over the world for a very long time. And the good happened and is happening. November 5th was a prime example. The battle is not over. But right now, evil has the upper hand or good has the upper hand. And I really do believe that. And I know that Prageru is very faith based. But I don't think we could ask for a greater example because I believe that this will extend beyond our country, around the world. And I think we're going to have a better world than we could ever imagined because of what happened on November 5th.

[Marissa Stright]

I agree. I mean, you, you know, I'm a lifelong educator. I have three kids under the age of 12 now. Wow. And we have as parents, when it comes to evil, the gender affirming care.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God.

[Marissa Stright]

The castration of children chemically and surgically is one of the most evil things that our society could have come up with. And it is possible that enough of us prayed for this evil to end and, and enough of us have actually stepped into the fight to protect children's innocence. And it may be the case that we have just evil has. Evil also has overplayed its hand and people are waking up. There's always going to be that battle, right? I know good and evil. And really, when people ask what is prager you about? Ultimately it's not about politics. It's really about goodness. It's about bringing back the. The basic ten commandments of, of goodness to have a society that can actually flourish and not live in absolute chaos.

[Rob Carson]

Amen.

[Marissa Stright]

There's no better example than absolute chaos than America's educational institutions, boys and girls and girls are boys and that they can remove parts of their body and.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God.

[Marissa Stright]

Irrevocable damage on them. And so again, I just, I end with what I said earlier, only God, God is waking us up and we. And the parents are waking up. And you know, people like Tulsi and the Other new leaders that are emerging, I believe are part of the corruption cleanup crew.

[Rob Carson]

Yep. Well, I think some great things are happening. I really appreciate what you do. Tell us where your podcast can be seen and also information about Prageru because I just, I love your glorious organization. Go right ahead.

[Marissa Stright]

[Marissa Stright]

I'd love to. Thank you so much and God bless you for.

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break. This is the Rob Carson Show. All right, the stream is back up, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry, I guess my computer's prostate is a little. Is a little swollen. But anyway, we're back on Rumble and X and Facebook at Newsmax. So there you go. Really enjoyed that conversation with The President, the CEO of PragerU, Marissa Straight, make sure to check out the podcast if you want to hear that. You guys streaming unfortunately did not. But anyway, I'm back on so you can look at my face. Donald Trump is. Has changed how we, the press is treated when they are abusive to conservatives forever. This the press had been like George Bush. He was such a meow meow. You know, he'd sit there and just take it. I don't know if I bag little wuss. And Donald Trump says, you know, I'm not going to play that way. Here he is yesterday being asked stupid questions about government fraud. Are you talking about what. Wait, wait, wait. Which are you talking. You're talking about with regard to all of the investigations that are going on about this stupidity. What we're going to do is tomorrow I'm having a news conference. I'm going to read to you some of the names that hundreds of millions and even billions of Dollars have been given to. I love this. And if you tell me that we should be giving money to those things, those entities, I think you'll probably have to leave as a reporter because you're not very talented when you look. Boom, boom. That's what I love. That's what I love. Here's Donald Trump. They're getting rid of the Department of Education, by the way. They're going to have a department education head, but her job is to get rid of the Department of Education. Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the Department of Education is a big con job. We're ranked. So they ranked the top 40 countries in the world. We're ranked number 40th. Yeah, but we're ranked number one in one department cost per pupil. So we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we're ranked number 40. Now think about all the children, particularly in any inner cities. Generations of children have been lost because of this friggin Department of Education. These children who've graduated not being able to read or write or do math and have been subjected to a life of whatever and premature death, honestly. Buh. Bye. Asta, Luista. Here's Donald Trump on fema, an organization that's been broken forever. Anybody remember Hurricane Katrina? Because this is a massive fraud that's taken place. And then you have judges that are activists and they sit there and they say, oh, as an example, $59 million going to a little small group in New York City. You get nothing. Going to North Carolina to help. Nothing. They say we don't have any money because they've given it away on the border, but you have nothing. What they did to North Carolina is a shame. And then they sent $59 million to New York City for a hotel. Yeah, that's what they did. And here's CNN lying about it.

[Marissa Stright]

Musk hosted Trump for a nearly two hour live stream on X that drew over 1 million listeners and has spread numerous debunked claims, lies and conspiracy about the election on X. Yeah, the election was stolen falsely that Democrats are importing voters accused FEMA falsely of diverting fund assist illegal immigrants and shared a mocking manipulated video of Vice President Kamala Harris with an altered voice.

[Rob Carson]

This is why CNN is dead. CNN is like forced viewership in every airport in America and nobody watches it. This is why Newsmax is kicking CNN's Button Primetime with Rob Schmidt and Carl Higby and Rob Finnerty because they lied, they abused the privilege of the First Amendment and they chose to bed down with the totalitarians. They chose to be North Korea. They chose to be Cuba. They chose to be Pravda and Izvestia, even though we have the First Amendment. And that's why every damn J school in America needs to be shut down, gutted. And some people who actually know anything about real journalism and the First Amendment should populate the professorships there. Those with tenure honestly need to go by because you failed at least two generations of journalists in this country. And that's why CNN and MSNBC are dead. They're completely dead. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hello. It is the Rob Carson Show. Welcome to it. We are back streaming live. Our stream went, went, went limp just like Joe Biden in the middle of the night when he has to go to the bathroom. But we are back on. The stream is strong. It is hearty. It's like if I just drank, you know, four cups of coffee, which actually, I drink a lot more than that. But anyway, welcome to the show. We got another hour of the show to go and we are back up on the stream. Had a little computer flatulence, I guess, is what it was. And it is, it is going. So go to Newsmax on Rumble, Newsmax on X and New Max, Newsmax on, on the Facebook and you can see the, the show right there and right live. So we got to get the numbers back. And, and like I said, we got a lot of good stuff on the show. You want to be streaming, you're going to be. If you're not streaming, you're screaming. I don't know. I just made that up. Anyway, welcome to it. Okay, so let's talk about. I want to get to, I want to get to Pam Bondi. Man, would I love to get to Pam Body. Anyway, Pam Bondi as the new, as a new AG. We found out, by the way, that RFK Jr. Is the HHS secretary now. And then they're working on Tulsi Gabbard right now and they're working on Cash Patel being the FBI director. And the Democrats are freaking because look at all the stuff we're discovering. Look at all the stuff we're discovering. All of the, all of the abject corruption our federal government. Every day you wake up, I want you to greet it with a smile on your face and realize that you are witnessing history. You are witnessing the greatest political moment in our country's history. You are seeing the greatest political comeback in world history. You are seeing something that is bigger than the fall of the Berlin Wall. With the rebirth of America in back to its founding principles. You have to understand how gigantic this is. And the amazing thing is we had a new American revolution and not a single shot was fired. It's as big as the first American Revolution. And look what it brought us. Look what it brought us. Paris, London had been around for thousands of years. And when America was founded, they were still crapping in the streets and they were still riding buggies and they were still dying of diphtheria and all sorts of crap. And then along came America, the first country in the world that said people can self govern and look what happened. And allowed people to live their potential, to do what they're possible. What's possible? I mean, listen, I use the analogy. When I was in college, this. I mean, this was a very microcosm of socialism, the group project, okay? And I remember how frustrated I would get because I wanted to be excellent. I wanted to be the best. When I was in high school, I was at everything I had. I was all state speech, all state choir. I was. I was a national honor society. I was in essay tournaments that I went to, went to States writing an essay. I did public speaking tournaments. I did all of that. I wanted to. I had it within me. I needed to be the best. I needed to be the best. That's why I'm here right now. If I wasn't, I'd be selling cars. But in a college situation, you're in a class and you got some jack weed who smokes pot half the time and doesn't care and he's going to get the same grade no matter what happens. And you are trying to be excellent. And unfortunately, if you get a C, it's because of that jackass, but not because of you. But you're all going to get it. And America came along and said, no, no, no, you can do anything. And we had a group of people, the class of 1968, moving in who hate America. They hated America. They say, call it racist, they call it whatever. And what they really hated was their communists. And communists want everybody to live here, okay? And. And essentially we became an oligarchy. So you got people up here who, who take from us, the producers, and. And then we all have to stay here. And no matter how hard you try, you can't move up. And that's what communism is about, and that's what the Democrat Party is about, and that's what the deep state is about. They made themselves rich while you suffered and you couldn't move ahead. Well, now we are seeing a period of enlightenment that you've never seen in your life. I'm telling you, I'm just telling you now. And I'm right about this stuff. I've lived enough history to know, and I've got enough insight and I've got enough common sense to know that what you're seeing is extraordinary and you should love it and you should live it and join me every day on the air because I'm going to share it with you. It's magnificent. Lee Zeldin has announced that $20 billion in taxpayer money was just discovered laundered into an external financial institutions managed by agents of the NGOs. Left wing NGOs. Because, you know, I think it was. What was it? Project Veritas. They. They talked to the CPA official right after Joe Biden lost the election, said we are. We're shoveling gold bars off the Titanic. Well, League Zeldin has found about it and he's clawing back the gold bar. Extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic. Yeah. Rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before inauguration. Yeah. The gold bars were tax dollars. They wanted to enrich their friends as their ship sank. Remember when I called Joe Biden's administration the SS Botanic? You get it? And tossing them off the Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it. Following this revelation, fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars. Yeah, they did. Shockingly, roughly 20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden epa. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history. Yeah. And it was purposefully designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Wow. Even further. What? This pot of $20 billion was awarded to just eight entities. Wow. That were then to referred responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Wow. That is just amazing. Isn't it? I remember when they raided Mar A Lago and I said, wow, the FBI. I don't. I don't trust them anymore. You know, we always thought we were the guys in the white hats. No, we're not. We had people in our government who would line up just like the brown shirts of Nazi Germany and kick down doors and go after people for their faith. Oh, what, What, What? When did that happen? Oh, yeah. Hide behind the bookcase. But in this case, it was people praying outside of abortion clinics and people who were traditional Catholics or people who are protesting insane transgender ideology and the sexualization of our children. The same marching orders were given and the same people did it. Not the same people, obviously, but in the same fashion. They did it because they had to. Some of them wanted to. Some of them were completely down with it. Oh, we're going after January, the Sixers. Oh, hell yeah. Let's do this, man. Let's punish him. This is the same pathos, the same pathos that totalitarians have used around the world. We thought we were immune from it. We thought we were immune, but we weren't. We weren't immune. It really is remarkable. It really is remarkable. Yeah. And. And somebody. Somebody on the. On rumble said. Yeah. And they said Trump was Hitler. Well, of course he did. They project everything. They project everything. January 6th was the Reichstag. That's how they got power. Even though the election was rigged. The summer of 2020 was Kristallnacht. What happened on campus with these anti Israel protests and terrifying Jewish students, that was Kristallnacht all over again. Disinformatia. Was Joseph Stalin tearing down statues and erasing history? Was Mao kowtowing to keep your job? That was Mao. That's what the class of 68 did to you. That's what the class of 68 did to you. And now they're. They're toast. They are to stay. So here's some good news. Pam Bondi suing New York and its liberal leaders over sanctuary cities policies. And they're going to go after Letitia James. Here is Pam Bondi talking about this. And then you'll hear Alina Haba as well, Trump's attorney in this sound bite.

[Marissa Stright]

New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. They're giving a green light to any.

[Rob Carson]

Illegal alien in New York where law.

[Marissa Stright]

Enforcement officers cannot check their identity if they pull them over. If you are a state not complying with federal law, you're next. Get ready. Pam Bondi had a very clear message through an executive order that the president signed that we are not going to have these sanctuary cities, that immigration, safety and the federal all crisis are going to be a priority that this administration focuses on. So when Letitia James ignores it and when Governor Hochul ignores it and the dmv, we're going to come after you.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Marissa Stright]

You cannot do that.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, I love it, man. I love it. And cut off their damn fund. They cut every damn dime off. Montgomery County Maryland, Guess what, Yang don't get that, that all that money, those tens of millions of dollars to housing, legals, it's all going to go. Your dravy gravy train is over. Stephen Miller, who is just somebody, I friggin love this guy. Here he is talking about what has happened just in the last three weeks and it saved lives. President Trump has already saved thousands of lives just by the people he's kept out of the country these last three weeks. Do you have any idea how many criminals, how many potential terrorists, how many security threats have been blocked and denied and prevented and detoured, deterred from even.

[Marissa Stright]

Trying to enter the country?

[Rob Carson]

A 95% reduction in illegal crossings. There are mothers all over this country who will sleep safely tonight because of what Donald Trump has done. That is what the American people voted for. Not the chaos and bloodshed of Gavin Newsom and Kathy Hochul and all of these blue state governors and blue state mayors who have forced their people to live in violence and misery. They did. They didn't care about you New Yorkers. New Yorkers. Look what they did to your city. The beautiful city of New York City. I remember went there for the first time four years ago and, and I said to myself, wow, I can see why people used to think this was the greatest city in the world. That's what I thought because they just kind of opened up after Covid. I was seeing people watch with walk around with masks everywhere. I was seeing outdoor restaurant seating and these little bubbles. And then, and then I also smelled weed everywhere. And you, you still smell weed everywhere. Six in the morning, you smell weed on the street.

[Marissa Stright]

Street.

[Rob Carson]

It's like, how bad do you need to be a high, you friggin moron. And then as, as things have gotten better, I'm going, hey, you know, this is a pretty amazing town. It really is. And now I know it's really going to be amazing. Really, really, really, really super, super amazing. Here is Steve Bannon, who was nearly imprisoned as a political prisoner by the Biden administration, talking about what's going to happen or what he hopes happens and what he's going to push for. With Letitia James being charged, the existential threat is right here in this city. It is the queen of lawfare. It's Letitia James. Right now, Soros has a DA that's running unopposed. He can call a grand jury at any time. Yep, he can. He can set up criminal charges on the most bogus efforts. Letitia James runs this deal. She's got a pliant media Right here. Pliant left wing media. She said she was gonna go after Donald Trump. She ran on going after Donald Trump. Show me the man, I'll show you the crime. Joseph Stalin. She's got a jury pool of only left wing radicals in the Upper west side of this city. And she's got the judges. She's got all of it. And I'm calling, hang on, I'm calling, I'm calling on right now the attorney General. Pam, Bonnie, begin an immediate criminal investigation to Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, all of it. What they did to President Trump. President Trump on his true social day laid it out once again. The existential threat to his administration is this queen of lawfare, Letitia James. And how she. And how she. And how she has. And how she has absolutely total control. And Doge and Elon Musk and Scott Besson and all of them ought to be worried about this out of control city. Absolutely. And some people are going to go to jail. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. The existential threat is right here in this city is the queen of lawfare. It's Letitia James. Right now, Soros has. This is Jim Gossett. Leticia James, why are you playing games? Pam Bundy is suing you and Governor Hochul too. Cause everybody puts the blame on Letitia James trying to sue her ass off. It's going to take them heavy. James, you should start naming names of all the illegals in your state. You better cooperate or it'll all go down in flames. For Leticia James. Leticia James, Let DOJ and Pam are after you. They are. You broke the law, belong in jail. Your little stunt is gonna fail and Bondi's gonna nail Letitia James. Well, letitia James, the DOJ's about to take you down. That's right, baby. Listen up. I've got some news. When you go to court, you're gonna lose. That is brand new from Jim Gossip. Letitia James, hope she goes to jail because she's a criminal. She's a criminal. That somebody would go after someone because they are your political opponent. That's evil. That's Stasi, that's Soviet Union. That's what they did to Donald Trump. And she needs to go to jail for it. She needs to go to jail for it. Lose her license. Never be ever involved in the law again. Ever, ever, ever. And that goes for your fat Alvin Bragg. And that goes for Fanny Willis. And that goes for Jack Smith. All of them. All of them. All of them. Done, done, done. Jail, jail, jail. That's it. On a lighter note, I didn't think I was gonna have to play the. The chicken pickles from the Dollar Store Joe Biden economy theme song. But there's still some stuff going on with Joe Biden's economy, so I gotta do this. We're eating pickles on the dollar store. Buckets from Dollar General chicken wings expired yesterday. We're eating pickles from the dollar store. Hot buckets from the Dollar General chicken wings expired yesterday. All right, so not only did eggs go up 60% when Joe Biden was the president, they've also now they're being rationed because Joe Biden ordered the slaughter of 100,000. 100 million chickens. 100 million chickens. Dear God. That's 2,200,000,000 chicken wings. Oh, my God. That's terrible. Yeah. Eggs have been hard to come by for a while for consumers, and now Trader Joe's has prompted. Well, they say that chickens are going on strike. That's the joke they're making. But now you can't actually buy as many eggs as you want. I went to Sam's Club a couple weeks ago. I bought 36 eggs. 36 eggs. Anyway, so due to ongoing issues with the supply eggs, currently limiting egg purchases to 1 dozen per customer at. At Trader Joe's. But, man, they got this little cheese there. This little, soft, beautiful cheese. I don't. I. It's the only place I can get it. It is the best damn cheese. Costco customers now limited to three packages of eggs, but you get four if you're a transgender because, you know, they're down with the DEI stuff. Spokesman at Sam's Club confirmed a limit of two packages per customer. Wait a minute. Why hasn't the. The cost of rotisserie chicken gone through the ceiling? Why? How do they have all sorts of rotisserie chicken and not any eggs? That's kind of. Kind of strange. It's kind of strange. My computer. My screen just went off behind me. I don't know why. Anyway, that's what they're saying, so. And then Kroger stores. By the way, if you live on the east coast, old Kroger store is two packages of customer per trip for weeks. It's kind of like living in. In World War II. So that's because Joe Biden ordering the murder of all these chickens, among other things. Then there's this. Jason Furman, longtime Democrat, economist, former Obama advisor, has issued a stunning rebuke of Biden nomics, confirming what many of us have said for years Biden's economic policies were a disaster. That's weird because I thought he was supposed to be on. He was supposed to be on Mount Mount Rushmore, but apparently not. No, no, no. Yeah, they were disaster. Writing in Foreign Affairs, Furman lays out why the grand experiment of Biden era economic policy, massive government spending, industrial policy and running the economy hot failed. Absolutely. It's not a surprise if you were any, you know, if you were aware of history at all. Inflation wasn't a global problem. It was a self inflicted wound. They say inflation hit nearly 7% in 2022. Prices increases proved more persistent than expected. They lied to you about being transient. Anybody would know it wasn't. The so called manufacturing renaissance never happened. Despite pouring billions into semiconductor and green energy subsidies, it never happened. Bidenomics left America's worse off by the way. Inflation outpaced wage gains. Among other things. Americans were struggling to afford basic necessities. Real median income fell from 2019 to 2023, erasing gains made by the Trump administration. But they said everything was great. And then infrastructure spending never happened. The bipartisan bull crap infrastructure law was supposed to build America's roads, bridges and broadband. Instead, skyrocketing costs and red tape meant that infrastructure spending actually declined. It was all a big lie. It was all a joke. The cost of asphalt concrete labor soared so high that real infrastructure investment actually dropped by 17%. We're eating pickles from the Dollar Store. Hot buckets from the Dollar General. Chicken wings expired yesterday. Yee haw. We're eating pickles from the dollar store. Hot buckets from the Dollar General Chicken wings expired yesterday. And of course to add insult to injury, they lied to you and said everything was great when you knew it. When you knew it because you and your family were suffering. Unbelievable. Coming up, Sally Pipes, Newsmax contributor and the author of the World's Best Medicine, the World's Medicine Chest. How America Achieved Pharmaceutical Supremacy. She's going to talk about what a giant well crock of garbage that Medicare and Medicaid have become. That's on the way. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Green Chef.

But you know, a lot of people are saying because, because of all of these, all of these entitlements we have that we're heading for a cliff because the tax base isn't growing right now.

Brian Yes, I want to go back to DOE just for a second. Earlier, the subcommittee headed by chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments, Medicare, Medicaid. I know I had to kind of shake my head and go, you got to be kidding me. Sally Pipes, Newsmax Contributor, author of the New Book the World's Best Medicine Chefs, How American America Achieved Pharmaceutical Supremacy and How to Keep it, joins us on the phone. Hello there, Sally. Welcome to the show.

[Marissa Stright]

Well, thank you so much for having me on.

[Rob Carson]

Did that number shock you yesterday?

[Marissa Stright]

No, no, it did not. Because I've been following Medicare and Medicaid. I've been working in the healthcare space since the late 1980s. So I've been looking at this and following it and it was not a surprise. But now I think with President Trump and Mr. Elon Musk and his doge committee, I think, you know, we're going to get, he's got a lot of young nerds who are working on exposing this and I think they're going to find a lot of stuff and let's hope we can get some reality back and get rid of this fraud and abuse which is costing the taxpayers a lot of money.

[Rob Carson]

Sally, you know, I've been doing radio for a number of years and started around 1990. And I've experienced and just watched this government constantly, people going to Washington, D.C. saying they're going to fix things. Nothing ever gets fixed. Now we know why, because the money wasn't going to help us. It wasn't going to help us. It was helping others around the world. It was wasting money. It was, I'm sure some of it went in the back pocket of politicians. But is this a remarkable sea change for you? Can you actually even believe this? Because I said that we won't be able to recognize the profundity of Donald, I almost said Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump's election. But every day, do you have to pinch yourself to go, oh my God, this is actually happening?

[Marissa Stright]

Well, absolutely. I pinch myself every night watching the late night news. And I don't, I mean, some of the things that President Trump is doing, such as the tariff issue is not, I am not excited about that. On the whole, he's making some terrific appointments and some terrific headway on issues that in the past, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat in the, in the, in the presidential suite, they've been afraid to touch it. They just say, well, we can't touch that. But he is not afraid to touch these things. And I think we're going to see a reduction in the size of government. I'm glad that forcing people to go back to work, I mean, think of only 6% of federal government employees are actually going to the office. I go to the office every day. Why should I pay for these people to stay home and go to the gym 100%.

[Rob Carson]

Now, your book is called the World's Medicine Chest. And America has been on the forefront of pharmaceutical discoveries, vaccine discoveries. You know, certainly I don't want to discount Marie Curie and some of the other great scientists in the world, but the United States has been at the fore when it comes to medical advancements and treatments. And now it turns out it sounds like a lot of them are being bought and paid for and getting approval because the cdc, the hhs, the FDA have all been greased with the money of Big Pharma and Big Food. And has that impacted our standing in the world as a pharmaceutical leader?

[Marissa Stright]

No, I think actually the issue is that, you know, back, you know, back in the late 1700s, England was the country that developed the smallpox vaccine. We saw Bayer aspirin in the 1800s developed in Germany. We saw penicillin developed in the early 1900s in European countries. Why was it the United States was not an innovator in R and D? But gradually all of these countries started introducing price controls on pharmaceuticals. So the thought of if you were in the development business, research and development, why would you stay in a country where you can't make a return on your investment? So we see today that the big companies, whether it's Novartis, whether it's Blacksmith, Klein, Noro, Nordisk and all of these big companies, Roach, they all move their R and D to America and that's where it's happening. And by 2019, 2005, the US was responsible for 80% of the total research and development into pharmaceuticals. And so, you know, it is not an inexpensive business. You know, it takes about $2.8 billion from an idea to getting through the whole trial process. Only one in ten drugs makes it through and it takes about 12 years. So I'm hoping that, you know, Mr. R.F. kennedy Jr. Was super.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Marissa Stright]

Head Secretary of HHS today. I'm hoping that he's going to look into this, what we're talking about, fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid, looking at some market based health reforms, and we'll see, you know, what he says about what he does about vaccines. We do know that he had his own children vaccinated. That came up in the hearing.

[Rob Carson]

Sure.

[Marissa Stright]

And. And when he talks about, you know, autism is caused by vaccines that was refuted by prominent researchers and he wouldn't admit it. But I mean, even the guy in England.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, why do you suppose that now 1 in 30 children have autism versus 1 in 10,000 when I was a kid. Well, do you have any idea?

[Marissa Stright]

Well, When I was a child too, you know, there was a lot of, you know, when, when young boys acted up, they went to the principal's office and got trapped, you know, came back and sat down. I think there's been a lot of leeway in, you know, what parents allow their children to do. I mean, for sure there is some autism, just like there was some serious illnesses on this issue back in the day. But I think a lot of it has to do with, you know, the whole idea of the spectrum. I mean, there has to be, you know, there has to be control over children. You can't let them do exactly what they want. But that's the way parents are today. So I think, you know, there's a lot of, of misinformation out there. And as I say, parents seem to be in charge of their children, not letting the government dictate how their children are raised or raised them.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And I also absolutely believe that, that many meds have been over prescribed on young boys, particularly to keep them in their seats rather than setting them out for recess. I think that ADD and ADHD have been way, way over diagnosed and over treated medically with psychoactive drugs as the brain is developing. But we couldn't, you know, we don't need to stray into that territory. But let me ask you this. What would you do with Medicare and Medicaid right now to get it on the right track other than just clearing up the waste? What would you suggest?

[Marissa Stright]

I would say that, you know, the team that is coming into hhs, Marty Makari at the fda.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Marissa Stright]

Jay Bhattacharya at nih, people should actually get the actual information from the agencies and find out, you know, where is the spending going. It's not that companies figure out when fraud takes place. Private corporations. So why can't the government find out what, what is going on? And the Congressional Budget Office, you know, has pointed out that there is a lot of fraud. People, you know, sign up for Medicaid and they, you know, they may not even have a, they may be illegal, they may not have a Social Security number, but they're getting, they're getting, you know, funds from the government, from us. So there's a lot that can be done to identify where this fraud and abuse is. And let's hope that under the new regime this is going to come out. We'll get those people off. And these programs should be there for the very Americans. Whether you're low income or whether you're over 65. And you, yes, you're on Medicare for those people who really need this exact support and coverage.

[Rob Carson]

Exactly 100%. And I'm hoping also that RFK Jr. Will help to, you know, get food healthier, because I got to tell you, I've done and completely overhauled my diet. I've lost about 65 pounds. I got rid of the garbage in my cabinets, and my cholesterol dropped 80 points in 90 days. And I didn't realize that I was poisoning my family. And so, you know, I'm looking at these ingredient labels, and if it has more than 10 ingredients, it's not to going gonna. It's not gonna be in the cabinet. And I'm hoping that he will do that. I'm hoping we'll have a renaissance in medicine in at least the next four years. Sally Pipes, thank you for joining me today. Your book is the World's Medicine How America Achieved Pharmaceutical Superior Supremacy and How to Keep It. Thank you very much for being on the show today.

[Marissa Stright]

I appreciate you, but thank you so much for having me. Have a good day. Bye.

[Rob Carson]

All right, take care. Bye. All right. Sally Pipes. That's quite a name. Sally Pipes. It's like Sally Rice. Yeah. I want to know why there's so much damned autism, and I want to know how. Why so many kids are on psychoactive drugs. I've never agreed with ADHD and A and ADD and all that crap. Never did. I didn't want, you know, children near me to be on them, but I had no choice. Anyway, there's that unaffordable Medicaid. Means we should forget it. That's a neat piece on. On Newsmax.com right now. You should check out. I won't get into the piece here. I won't get in the piece because it's a little bit lengthy, but it talks about how U.S. house Republicans recently released a list of proposals for slashing federal spending by 5.7 trillion. Hell, yeah. A significant portion of the savings, 2.3 trillion, comes from Medicaid. And, you know, I was talking about cutting Medicaid and cutting Medicaid. It turns out Medicaid and Medicare are so rife with fraud. You heard it earlier, $2.7 trillion going overseas. Honestly, it is. This is such a blessing. This is such a. An amazing moment in our history that we're witnessing. And let's just hope and pray that it will keep. It'll keep going. All right, I'm going to take a break a little bit earlier than I normally do, because on the other side, I want to get into this insanity in Worcester Massachusetts, by the way. The state that had the same kind of behavior on display, I don't know, about 400 years ago during the Salem witch trials. Oh, yeah, yeah. You think that I'm. I'm exaggerating? Oh, no, no, no. Same thing. Same mania driving it. That's coming up. This is the Rob Carson Show. There you go. Hello. You know, I referred to the. The left and some of these leftist children who throw temper tantrums on campus and demand things, you know, and say, you know, we gotta have this, we gotta have that, and we're gonna. You know, black lives matter. You know, we did the thing in Missouri where they shut down the quad and. And they threw a temper Tanner, and they demanded. They demanded that this and that. It was all nonsense. And. And I use the expression candy aisle kids. And. And. And the reason I did is because the. The people at that institution capitulated, and it ended up being the. The chancellor and the president resigned because the cameo kids pitched a fit, and they. Rather than just saying, you're not in a position to demand anything, get your asses to your classes. You remember that expression that I use, get your asses to your classes? And that's been going on. And this happened, by the way, in Worcester, Mass. Yesterday. I want to get to that a second, but Victor Davis Hanson talked about this, and I saved this sound bite from Victor Davis Hansen about candy aisle kids. Let me find it here real quick, because that's what. That's what VDH talked about. It was a group of children, essentially, that were demanding things that they should have. I've lost the sound bite here, but I'll get to it a second. I'll get to it a second. But in Worcester, Mass. Yesterday, they're trying to make it into a transgender sanctuary. Okay. For transgendered individuals. The problem is they don't need a sanctuary. There aren't murders of transgender people. It's all. It's all a gigantic lock. Lie. It's all a gigantic lie. But they let these people in Worcester take over a town meeting last night. Here's some of the audio.

[Marissa Stright]

I'm shaking right now. I don't want to be here. I'm sorry. Am I taking too long pleading for my life? I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should say how afraid of Trump I am. You better prepare for trans people to make. Make this a very unsafe space.

[Rob Carson]

What's that mean?

[Marissa Stright]

I do not want to be here. It's My day off. I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on my face so that you.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, so you know, it's the one word that's being used a lot there. I, I, I me. I, I, I me. I, I, I, I, I me.

[Marissa Stright]

Well, here and see me.

[Rob Carson]

Can you look at me and tell me how many of my friends need to die before you do anything? Nobody's done died. It's all a big lie. It's all mania. It's all nonsense. And it's just like the Salem witch trials. I'm not kidding. It's like the Salem witch trials in about 400 years ago in Salem, Massachusetts. A bunch of teenage girls who. Who are very prone to social contagion. Don't believe me. Who did they target when. When the schools were shut down? Who? Who? They targeted this transgender nonsense. Who. Who. Who are they targeted? Yeah, young girls. They're. They're more prone to social contagion. It's just the way it is. That's just the way it happens. And that happened 400 years ago. A bunch of teenage girls go, oh, there's witches, Witches. Witches are everywhere. That. She's a witch. She's a witch. And the adults went, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's get them, please. Look at me. Okay, we're all done here. Yeah. Pathetic. And it's based on a lie. It's all based on a lie and fear and young people who are out of their friggin minds.

[Marissa Stright]

My name in drag is Dee Delight.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. And my name out of drag is. That's a child speaking.

[Marissa Stright]

By the way, we cosgrovensa. My name is Pastor Julie Payne Britton. I use the pronoun she and her. And I am disabled cisgender lesbian.

[Rob Carson]

Of course you are. I speak as both the B and the T in the lgbt. I speak as someone who is always misgendered, like all the time. That's because you're a dude. Refer to me as sir when I prefer to be referred to as ma'. Am. Yeah. And the reason being is we don't want to play along with your insanity. If somebody says I'm a horse, I'm not going to say you're a horse because you're not a horse. That's just the way it is. This is Tim Vance, Tim Waltz's daughter. She's a child as well. And now she's becoming a mouthpiece for the left. I want you to listen to her. She's not very smart.

[Marissa Stright]

Signing an executive order that pertains to 1% of the population is not protecting women. It's setting a dangerous precedent and it is dangerous for the trans.

[Rob Carson]

Okay? Whenever you talk up, it's a sign that you're an idiot.

[Marissa Stright]

Community, women, minorities, anyone who is not a straight white man, of course we are talking about human beings and the President of the United States is targeting them just because he thinks it gains him political points or whatever. Because this thing that he's so worried about doesn't, it's not real. It doesn't affect, doesn't affect the people that he's trying to protect. It hurts them. Like, seriously. I think some of us, a lot of us need to open up a history book because what this, this, what this is, what's going on right now is textbook. It's textbook.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it's a textbook. If you read nonsense. It's not real. It never has been real. And again, it's, it's basically, it's mania. You know, I had mentioned this. Voltaire said, those who are made to believe absurdities will commit atrocities. Here's Victor Davis Hansen talking about candy aisle kids. The left is a revolutionary. It's like the French revolutionary Jacobin movement. They don't, they don't trust any customs, they don't honor any laws. Everything is fluid and it's legal only to the extent that it's useful. So the 180 year filibuster that they used to treasure as a minority party in this, it's, they want to get rid of it. The 150 person, the 150 year nine person Supreme Court get rid of it. It's no longer useful. They can't have a Republican justice flip as they did from Warren to David Seuss suit her easily anymore. So like adolescents, they're angry. 50 state union we've had for 60 years. Bring in two more states to get senators. Same thing with a national voting law to override the constitutional prerogative of each state to set, you know, balloting laws. And then we have the 232 year old electoral college. Once the blue wall fell, like little kids, they got angry and said get rid of it. So the common debate denominator, as all of this is they look at the law is what's useful for the moment for a progressive. Spoiled children, they're candy out kids. What I call it that is because when I was a kid, they didn't have a candy out of the grocery store. All of them had candy. And your mom is taking through the aisle at the grocery store to check out. And if you said I want a snicker bar. And mom said, no. And you said, no, I want a sticker bar. Or tried to pitch a fit. She would say, we're going to talk in the car. Or you got a swat right on the butt right there. They created candy aisles because parents couldn't handle their kids. That's why I use the candy aisle kid analogy. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. All right, kids, that's gonna do it for the show today. I hope you've enjoyed it. I'm sorry for the streaming issues. We won't have any issues with that tomorrow.
