Donald Trump
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 Parson Show. In less than one year, we've accomplished more than most other administrations have accomplished in eight years. And this is a very special Thanksgiving. We thank God for His many blessings and the great success that this country has seen in the short period of time. We draw strength from the love of family and friends and we express our undying gratitude for the men and the women of the United States Armed Forces. We love them. We pray that peace and prosperity will continue to bless our land. And together we'll really just keep this great drive going to make America great again. Maga. I think it's the greatest expression in the history of politics. Make America great again.
Rob Carson
Yeah, you know, it's Thanksgiving. I was thinking about this this morning as I was getting ready to come in here and do this here radio program and then be on the right squad on Newsmax later. Thanksgiving. It's the only holiday like it in the world where a nation stops to give thanks for the bounty they have in their lives for living here. Many suffer. I understand it. I've suffered over the years. But it's a day that we pause and we thank God, who we acknowledge in our Constitution, in our Declaration of Independence, whom our rights come from. Not from man. And we thank God for being here. And if you have come here illegally and you don't want to assimilate and don't love the country, screw you. There you go. Ta da. Anyway, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I really am looking forward to it. Last Year was the Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday was a crap show for me. So this year, not so much. Here's Donald Trump yesterday talking about more people doing a couple of things that caused Democrats to curl up into the fetal position and fall into the pits of hell.
Donald Trump
But we have more people working. We have more people praying.
Rob Carson
More people working and more people praying. The two things that the Democrat Party does not want.
Donald Trump
The churches are coming back. I don't know if you've been reading that story, but religion is coming back to America. Some people say, oh, why would you mention that to me? That's a big deal. And this Thanksgiving, we're also making incredible strides.
Rob Carson
Yeah, pretty darn cool. You know, yesterday, Joy Reid was on doing a podcast with that Jennifer Welch, that psychotic cat lady from hell. And this is the essence of evil. This is the essence of evil. This is three coven members of a coven. You know what that is? Gathering around a cauldron because this is just freaking evil. I want you to listen to these three harpies from hell and listen to Joy Reid. She's talking all girlfriend. She just comes all girlfriend when she wants to be all girlfriend. She's just like Jasmine Crockett. One minute she's a deb from St. Louis, a private school deb from St. Louis, and the next minute she's a Jerry Springer candidate panelist. And that's what she did. Yes. I want you to listen to this. Talking about Charlie Kirk's wife and J.D. vance and his marriage.
Jennifer Gilardi
So they can't have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They're also Christian nationalists. That ain't gonna work. That's why he's throwing.
Rob Carson
You are such an a hole. It's not even funny. The American people don't give a rats behind. MAGA people don't give a rat's behind about the color of your skin. And only you guys are focused on race. How dare you? How dare you say this, that we wouldn't elect a president if he had a brown wife. You awful, awful, wretched woman.
Jennifer Gilardi
Wife under the bus or Usha or. She's in on it, right? And she's playing slap and tick with Erica Kirk. The weirdest I've ever seen.
Rob Carson
That's Jennifer Welch. She sold her soul to somebody.
Jennifer Gilardi
She's like in her Tammy Faye era, okay? Holding on the back of his head and rubbing on his head some weird.
Stephen Miller
Don't do that to Jason.
Jennifer Gilardi
I'mma start thinking something going on. Why you holding the back of his head?
Rob Carson
Harpies from hell. I'm like you.
Jennifer Gilardi
You're not doing that right.
Rob Carson
Throw some eye of newt in that cauldron there.
Jennifer Gilardi
You supposed to be a widow. You in leather pants.
Rob Carson
Yeah, you in leather pants.
Jennifer Gilardi
That's not going to wear. Could you imagine if. Wouldn't it be the most perfect fairy tale maga. Fairy tale, yeah. If he finally sees the light, that he needs a white queen instead of this brown Hindu.
Rob Carson
I mean, I gotta tell you, that is an. That's evil. That is to sit around and laugh like that. Mentally ill. I mean, beyond mentally ill. Did you ever think that in your lifetime, if you've been maybe around over 30 years, you would have people talk like that and take pride in that sort of conversation? Celebrating the murder of. Of a man named Charlie Kirk. Shot in the neck, splayed wide open, bled to death live on television. You sick, wretched, awful woman. My God, I told you. The Democrat Party is spiraling into hell and trying to drag us in with them, and we're not going. It really is just remarkable, just absolutely remarkable. And you know, I'm talking about yesterday, about the Trump derangement syndrome, which has ended a lot of marriages and thrown wrenches in friendships and all of this. The psychotherapist that claimed that Trump derangement syndrome is real is now getting death threats from people with Trump derangement syndrome. This is how sick they are. A guy just comes out and says, yeah, there are people who are legitimately bleeped in the head because they can't deal with the fact that Donald Trump is the president. And now those same people want to kill a psychotherapist because he brought up the real fact that people are driving themselves nuts over Donald Trump being the president. People are obsessed with Trump. They're fixated, they're hyper fixated on Trump. And they talk about some of the features of this disorder. They can't sleep. They feel traumatized by Mr. Trump. They feel restless. I had one patient who said she couldn't enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered. So this is a profound pathology. And I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time. I remember reading about the Civil War when I was in school, and brothers fighting against brothers. And I couldn't believe that such a political disagreement could result in brothers fighting one another to the death. And then this happened. And I've had my family wrecked, I've had my friendships wrecked, all of my friends here in Maryland who I had for a dozen years Spending a dozen New Year's Eve's together, five nights a week, having dinner together, helping to raise their kids, watch their kids birthday parties, getting them through cancer. None of them welcomed me back to Washington, D.C. none of them. Because I became a conservative talk show host. It is, it is sad, but worth it. There you go. Yeah, I said it worth it because I'm not going to, I am not going to be a sheep. I'm not going to follow their nonsense, not one little bit. This is Rosie o'. Donnell. She is a mentally ill, awful human being who left the country to live in Ireland because Donald Trump became the president. Even though the economy and everything is getting better in America, as Donald Trump is the president, he has not violated the Constitution in any way, shape or form. He has closed the southern border and is expelling criminals en masse from the country, making America's cities safer. Washington, D.C. violent crime altogether down 70%. Carjacking's down 80%. And they're getting similar, similar results in Memphis. But she's so mentally freaking ill that she moved out of the country despite being a multi, multi, multi millionaire who really hasn't had to work a day in her life in 30 plus years. Here she is yesterday talking about her therapist. Who the hell needs a therapist? When you are filthy rich, you don't have to worry about working two jobs just to pay the bills, to stay in your house. Because I've been there. I've been there. You know how I got rid of my depression? I got a job. I got a job and I stopped drinking. Oh, my God. I didn't need therapy or nothing. Here is ROSIE o'. Donnell.
Jennifer Gilardi
I have this new, like, therapist I'm going to that talks about trauma healing. As I was leaving, they were like, can I ask you to do homework? You should try to not post about him for two days. And it's so hard. It's so hard not to just want.
Rob Carson
To, like, bam, you know, you're a psycho. You are a disgusting human troll. You've had everything in the world. You've had every blessing since you were discovered on Star search by Ed McMahon in the 80s. You have lived the dream. You were such a selfish and awful person. You had a magazine, you had your own TV show and a magazine. You fired your entire magazine staff just to be a B word. That's how psychotic you are. I reminded this clip that I say from Jordan Peterson about and this, I don't think this necessarily just appeals to men, but this is kind of what I'm experiencing In my life, a man.
Jordan Peterson
With few friends or no circle at all, that's someone you don't want to cross. He's learned through tough experiences that quality always beats quantity. He doesn't need a crowd to feel strong. His power comes from within. While others chase after validation, he chooses to walk alone. He's seen the fake friendships, the drama and the betrayals, and he's cut all of it out. Now he stands untouched, at peace. He doesn't need anyone to make him whole. He's complete, on his own. The end. One genuine friend holds more value than 100 phony ones. His circle is small. His trust is earned. And anyone who brings trouble is swiftly removed. He values his time, treating it like royalty. He knows what he's after and never settles for less. So when you meet a man with a small circle or none at all, don't mistake it for weakness. That's real strength. That's confidence. He doesn't need your approval because he's already won the only fight that truly matters, the one with himself. A man with few friends or no circle.
Rob Carson
That's where I am. It's been a long road to get here, and it has not been easy. And if you're going through the same thing, and I've heard from so many of you the last few days who've gone through similar things and are still going through it, there's going to be mourning, there's going to be sadness, there's going to be rage. All will be abated and you'll see the light eventually and you'll be thankful. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Donald Trump
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure, secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.
Rob Carson
Yeah, baby, exactly right. We got a president who's doing things in the left. They can't lie enough to cover up the good. Cannot do it. Cannot do it. Cannot do it. We got to, you know, we had the housing secretary on the. On the show. Last hour was a great interview with Scott Turner. Really good interview with Scott Turner. Even talked a little football. He's the next professional football players with the Redskins, Chargers and Broncos. And we talked a little bit about that. And then what they're doing to finally make public housing right for people who need it. And I think it's pretty amazing. The podcast is available just to go to your usual podcast platforms. Look up Rob Carson's show and subscribe. Please if you would subscribe, that would be great. I'd appreciate that. I wanted a lot of stuff to talk about with the Seditious Six and what they did to sow seeds of doubt and sedition in the military rankings. It was done for a reason. It was deliberate. And the people who did it need to be in a lot of trouble. The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly. In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Other applications, other applicable regulations. A thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions which may include recall to active duty for court martial proceedings or administrative measures. I want him now to 100% to be court martialed. 100% because he is going. He went, he went on late night television last night. He is trying to rub Donald Trump's face in it. He is tempting a fate. He thinks that Donald Trump will back down and this is a point where we cannot back down. People who do this have to be held accountable. This has to stop here because what comes next? What comes next? Fort Sumter. I'm not screwing around here. That's what they want. They are out of their minds. They've driven their voting base out of their minds. They will follow any marching orders. Any marching orders. Elon Musk is a Nazi. Burn his dealerships. Ice agents are Nazis. Attack the ice agents. Charlie Kirk is a fascist. Kill Charlie Kirk. This is has to be stopped. Here's Mike Davis of the Article 3 project.
Mike Davis
What Senator Mark Kelly is doing here by wink wink Nod nod to 18 year old military enlistees to decide what orders of the President of the United States, the commander in Chief are lawful versus unlawful. And then to ignore what these 18 year old enlistees think are an unlawful orders of the President of the United States. You could not get more dangerous than, than this. That is interfering with the chain of commands. Mark Kelly is trying to portray himself as some noble hero. He's trying to portray himself as some victim when he got called out on it. He should absolutely get court martialed and held accountable for this. And he can raise his congressional speech. Speech or debate clause, arguments for his defense, whatever he needs to do. But they need to make an example out of this guy. There's no chance this guy is going to be the President of the United States. He's a clown and he's really, he's really hurt his credibility by doing this far outside of the political.
Rob Carson
And then he went on late night television to, to plead his case without any pushback because he's a coward. He's a filthy rotten coward. And I would tell it to him to his face. I would absolutely love to tell it to his face. I'm not like Ruben Gallego and. And Pete Hegseth cowering behind a television camera because Pete Hegseth would whoop his rear end bigger than life. And I would. I would not be afraid to tell Mark Kelly what the hell I think of him. So, Mark, you know where I am. Come and see me, man. I'd love to do an interview with you on this radio program. Stephen Miller was asked about what to do with the seditious six last night.
Stephen Miller
Well, they should be held accountable under the law and under the Uniform Code of Military justice for a seditious conspiracy against the United States of America. This is completely open and shut, straightforward. What is the motivation? Why would six members of Congress selecting specifically for individuals with a CIA or military background.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Stephen Miller
Record a carefully written, carefully produced, slickly edited video messaging directly to members of our clandestine services and our armed forces, telling them to. To disobey orders from their superiors, telling them that they should individually determine whether an order is legal or illegal and defy it. Individuals who are exercising life and death power. The CIA engages in covert missions all over the world involving life and death decisions. The armed forces launches life taking missions time and time again. They carry weapons. They control drones, they control missiles. They work on nuclear submarines. For what purpose would you ever deliver this message? As you said, it's to create a color revolution. It is the CIA playbook for trying to foment insurrection from within the military and within the CIA.
Rob Carson
Yes. And this is what the Democrat party has become. And they are not a party for good. They have to be gutted and reinvented or disappear into the dustbin of history.
Stephen Miller
The Democrat Party is openly engaged every day in trying to tear down democracy. Whether it be judges who are binding the President with unlawful orders, releasing violent criminals back onto the street, trying to cement and protect the illegally alien invasion of America and now fomenting rebellion inside the ranks of our armed forces and CIA.
Rob Carson
The Democrat Party is no longer afraid. Force for good if it ever was. If it ever was. Cybercrime is spiking during the holiday, especially around Black Friday. That's this coming Friday, by the way. Falling victim to cyber crime. The last thing you want to do. And I'm getting fished all the time by nonsense saying my my payment method is expired and whatnot.

It's not as bad as you think on the other side of the rink. Don't go anywhere. It is a free Thanksgiving Rob Carson show. I know for a fact that tonight is the, the biggest bar night of the year. I don't drink anymore, but, you know, get a designated driver. And a lot of people, of course, going over the river, through the woods, they're saying it depends on who you listen to. They say the, the biggest Travel Day in 15 years or of all time. So a lot of people on the road and in the air and all of that stuff. Joining us on the Newsmax hotline is Jennifer Gilardi with storing restoring American wellness. And the Heritage foundation also looks remarkably at times like Jennifer Aniston. I'm sure she gets this all the time. How are you?
Jennifer Gilardi
I'm great, Rob. How are you today?
Rob Carson
You get it all the time, don't you? I do. I know. Well, that's a bummer. I mean, that's terrible. Oh, my God. The worst thing in the world to look like Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yeah.
Rob Carson
So I'm seeing your headline, this piece you wrote, how to make your Thanksgiving more Maha friendly. And I'm thinking, okay, here goes dietitian Captain Buzzkill telling us we gotta have low fat this and that, and it's gonna suck. Not so much. I read the article. It's pret.
Jennifer Gilardi
No, absolutely not. It's not going to suck at all. It's going to taste wonderful because you're just, I'm just using real ingredients. I'M just encouraging people to cook for themselves if they don't have time, you know, normally during the year to do it once a year. And I made a sweet potato casserole. There are at least, you know, six, half a stick of butter in there, coconut milk, nuts. But it's all real whole food ingredients.
Rob Carson
You know, Isn't that interesting? You know, I've been talking about wellness and whatnot for many years. I've done wellness retreats with dieticians and chefs and all that. I'm a, I'm a gourmet cook myself. And I remember I spoke to a guy years ago about some food that we call food is not food. It's never. Nothing in it has ever lived. It has not come from anything that has ever lived. Like Cool Whip. He killed Cool Whip. For me, Cool Whip is a complete chemical compound. It's terrible. It's terrible, isn't it?
Jennifer Gilardi
Cool Whip might be one of the worst offenders out there. I mean, you're just better off going with whole cream, real whipped cream. Cream. And you can really go for it and make it yourself or, you know, even something in a bottle is better than, than the Cool Whip, unfortunately. And people will use these. Well, I'm dairy free. I'm like, you're better off not being dairy free.
Rob Carson
Yeah. Are you on a speakerphone, by the way?
Jennifer Gilardi
I am not. I have my headsets on. But let me move out to a different location.
Rob Carson
That's okay. That's okay. Sounds a little, a little hollow. And I want to, I want you to sound full and awesome. You know, you also mentioned the jellied cranberry sauce versus regular cranberry sauce. You know, if you would never pick up a cranberry and just pop it in your mouth and go, yum, yum, yum. You've got to add all sorts, but there are ways that you can make them good.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yeah, they're, you know, I'm going to try just straight to foam. Is that better, Rob?
Rob Carson
Yes. Oh, bet. Much better. Thank you.
Jennifer Gilardi
Okay, I'll go the old fashioned way. Put it to my ear. You know, cranberries are actually very, very bitter. They are high in vitamin C, but you don't want to just kind of pop and uncook cooked cranberry from the bag. You cook it down with sugar and orange juice, some cinnamon sticks. That's what I plan on doing tomorrow.
Rob Carson
You know, it is good. I, I, the other night, I think you'd be impressed. I did my world famous Christmas candied jalapenos with 100% vinegar, sugar, cinnamon stick and Craisins. Yeah.
Jennifer Gilardi
Wow, I never heard of those. Although I will. I will warn on the craisins. There are little chemicals in the Craisins for preservatives, but everything else sounds great.
Rob Carson
Maybe I should make my own Craisins. I should make my own Craisins.
Jennifer Gilardi
You could do that. You could do that.
Rob Carson
All right. It might be a good idea. You know, why not just use. Hell, why not use some cranberries and just cook them now with sugar and the vinegar?
Jennifer Gilardi
Yeah, you could do that too.
Rob Carson
I'll do that.
Jennifer Gilardi
All right.
Rob Carson
That's a good idea.
Jennifer Gilardi
For healthy swat. You know, I'm always trying to find just healthy swaps. Like, instead of this, what could I use? I did that in my sweet potato casserole with, like, coconut milk.
Stephen Miller
Right.
Jennifer Gilardi
It's creamy flavor. So all sorts of tips.
Rob Carson
You can, you know, here's the thing. And Jennifer, you know, my mother used to keep a can of bacon fat on the stove and, you know, for so many years. Oh, that's white trash. Or that's whatever. No, no, no, no, no. Because real fat, real fat doesn't cause heart disease. Crisco does.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yes, that's correct. I mean, the research is coming out, and not that the older research was ever really there, but there is no conclusive evidence that dietary cholesterol actually causes cholesterol in the arteries and thereby causing heart disease. It's really more an inflammatory condition of the arteries produced from the liver. But that might be a little too deep for Thanksgiving, so we'll just dive into it.
Rob Carson
No, no, it's not. I think this is important. You know, if you're going to eat, eat like your grandma did. Do real butter. Do real butter do. You know, you had mentioned in your piece that I was just quoting from, you know, go full beef tallow on the fried turkey. That would be a little expensive to fill the fry.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yes, yes. I mean, you're seeing this move to beef tallow as a replacement for these vegetable oil fats. And there is a potato chip brand called Vandy Potato chips. And you know what I notice when I eat them? And they are wildly expensive, but you know what I do notice when I eat them is I actually feel like I am getting nutrients because of the beef tallow. And I feel full. I actually don't want the whole bag. It is very bizarre to. To sit down with a bag of potato chips and have just like five or six and be happy because you actually get full from the real ingredients. Like the beef tallow.
Rob Carson
Yeah. And I had some. I got these tortilla chips. I heard Glenn Beck talking about them and I ordered a whole case of them. And they are tortilla chips in beef tallow. And they're freaking fantastic. And you're right. You don't want to, you don't want to eat. Yeah. Yes. Oh, my God. Yeah, they are, they are the real deal. But we eat a lot of just fake stuff and you know, hell, my mom, we used to. I lived on a farm and we had lard. We cooked in lard. I can't eat lard. I don't like the taste of lard. But at least it was real. Let me ask you about peanut oil. Is peanut oil not good for frying your turkey?
Jennifer Gilardi
You know, I've not explored it. I've normally roasted the turkey so I could say, you know, I think it's not so much where the oil comes from, it's the process that is used to get to the oil.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Jennifer Gilardi
And that's really the, the criticism of vegetable oils like the soybean oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, and some might be better than others, like grapeseed oil every now and then. I'm not mad about, I think when you're constantly using it in your foods. And the thing is, is it's, it's consistently in processed foods, ultra processed foods.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Jennifer Gilardi
And so there's even a question, is it really the seed oil or is it the other ingredients that are often accompanied the seed oils that are the problem, like the sugar and, you know, kind of the other chemical based ingredients that make up nougat? I don't know. Like you said, you don't know what Cool Whip is. I don't. I'm still confused as to what makes up a Milky Way bar. Like, I'm not sure what the nougat is. You know, it's those kinds of things. And those are, those are the kinds of things we really need better research on. And that's what Kennedy's calling for, is gold standard science. Let's really kind of break these things down. And the unfortunate part is we've had, we've talked about this. I believe we've had so many fast, rapid, technological, industrialized changes in the past 50 years.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Jennifer Gilardi
It's going to be hard to pinpoint one thing as the cause of some of these chronic diseases.
Rob Carson
And you know, the thing is that we have added every kind of artificial sweetener and every replacement for fat. And we are the fattest, most diabetic that we've ever been. Aren't we. Yes. Ridiculous.
Jennifer Gilardi
Well, and that's, that's, that's another that was flaw in the so called science is the food pyramid that placed kind of refined, any kind of carbohydrate, even refined carbohydrates at the bottom and said eat most of this. So you're looking at a bunch of people who are insulin resistant from an overabundance of a diet of carbohydrates.
Rob Carson
Now I would like to talk about a few things on the other side of the rank. Can you hold on? Sure. Because I've got a apparently AI recipes for Thanksgiving stuff is creating recipes that are recipes from hell you wouldn't want to try. And so people are turning away from actual people who cook to AI recipes and it's a joke. And then a Long island pizzeria has a Thanksgiving pie. It sounds really weird but they're sold out. We're going to touch on that on the other side of the break with Jennifer Gilardi on the Rob Carson Show. Don't go any. Well.
Jordan Peterson
Thanks.
Jennifer Gilardi
Thanksgiving dinner 1981 will not be as.
Rob Carson
Expensive as some people may think.
Jennifer Gilardi
We took a typical list of Thanksgiving dinner items to four different grocery chains in the Albuquerque area to compare prices. We purchased items to feed six adults. Here's what we found. A 12 pound turkey averaged $6.69. The average cost for 12 ounces of stuffing was $1.04. Fifteen ounces of cornbread mix averaged 69 cents. Two 15 ounce cans of green beans averaged 76 cents. Three pounds of yams averaged 159 and a 7 ounce jar of marshmallow cream was 57 cents.
Rob Carson
That is a report from 1981. Jennifer Gardi I don't believe was alive then. But yeah, things have changed. And you know, through this report they went into the jellied cranberry sauce and the cool whip and that's when all of the artificial stuff really started to kick in the 70s and the 80s through today. Right.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yeah. Well, I was alive by the way. Thank you very much.
Rob Carson
Look at you. Heck no. Dang.
Jennifer Gilardi
It's all the Maha living good for you. So you know, take me back to those days, right. When you can actually afford food. But you are right. The more processed food became, the cheaper it became because the cheaper the ingredients were and also the more filled they were with ingredients that were heavily subsidized by the government such as corn, soy, wheat, sugar. So the more you subsidize a product or the ingredients that go into something you're eating, the less the Less expensive it's going to seem at the register, but unfortunately we're paying for it on the back end with our health care system.
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah.
Jennifer Gilardi
And. And you're not, you know, you're not. You actually need more junk food to feel full. Because as I mentioned, with the beef tallow, potato chips, your body isn't registering that it's getting nourishment.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Jennifer Gilardi
It's just getting calories and that's not necessarily enough. You need the vitamins and minerals. So you're going to need more junk food to feel full. It's kind of this. That's why people say food is addictive now. And it absolutely is. And we should treat it like, oh my God. That some people are using it as.
Rob Carson
You are 100,000 million percent right. I mean, it is ridiculous, I swear to God. Now, let me ask you this, because I am, I am recently single, not exactly liking it. And I've met a couple of people, you know, I'm not considering. Whatever. Anyway, I don't know if it's, if it's just now, but the people that I have met, women who I've met, are. I mean, carbs are like garlic to a vampire. I mean, the thought of eating a piece of pizza almost makes somebody's head explode. What is going on with carbs and what carbs are? Okay, Because I got to tell you, I think Jesus walked through the desert with his friends and they had bread and they had wine and fish and. And they weren't all fat. I mean, honestly, this is another thing. You can't have carbs. Well, my life is too short to not have a piece of pizza, for God's sake.
Jennifer Gilardi
I am in agreement with you. Being from the kind of Mediterranean east, from Greece and Italy, I feel like, you know, I can't have a day without cheese and carbs and wine. So I'm on board with that. But you also mentioned something that Jesus and his disciples were walking through the desert.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Jennifer Gilardi
We do not move. And so the more, you know, a colleague of mine talks about this kind of theory of discordance, meaning the more out of alignment we become with the natural rhythm of nature, of God, the harder we have to work to kind of reinforce or almost force that alignment. So I think women kind of got scared of, you know, the whole diet fads in the 80s, in the 90s, and it did become a culture of fearing food. There has to be a happy medium here.
Rob Carson
I remember. Go ahead.
Jennifer Gilardi
I think experimenting with different diets. Go ahead, experiment with keto. Experiment with this. I've been doing this long enough where now I'm not obsessive over anything. I know, like, I need to cut back. I cut back. You know, I actually bought a loaf of bread, but it was all whole ingredients because I just feel. I'm like, I want to piece of bread with butter.
Donald Trump
Hell yeah.
Rob Carson
You know, it's, it's. You know, I've seen it all. I've seen the stupid caveman diet. You remember back in the 90s, there was a thing called the cabbage suit diet. So people wanted to lose weight with the diet that they gave to heart patients the couple days before they go in to have, you know, bypass surgery. I mean, by God, are we that freaking freaked out about weight? I mean, just common sense. Real food, not as much. And exercise. Dear God.
Jennifer Gilardi
Well, you mentioned something. You said they would give that diet to patients before they went into heart surgery. And I think the problem is we have such an epidemic of obesity at this point. People are facing chronic disease every day. So now we might have to tweak the recommendations to accommodate what a majority of the pop. Where a majority of the population is. Which is overweight. So, yes, we might have to, for a while tweak the recommendations, the food recommendations to say, hey, less carbohydrates, like below a certain number if you're weight or if you're looking to lose this many pounds. So we're having these discussions in policy. We did a great public event with some very smart scientists about food and insulin resistance and glucose levels. They know so much. And it's unfortunate that we're at that point place. But for most people, because they've been feeding off of a carbohydrate intensive diet for the past 20 to 30 years, they need a little bit of an extreme to kick it back in, to get their metabolism back in here to get to a baseline of health. And then you can be a little more lenient and lack. But you also pointed out we're not moving, you know, like we used to.
Rob Carson
Well, you know, I always say all things in moderation and occasionally to excess. Hell yeah. For instance, at Pino's Deer Park Pizza in New York, they have a turkey day Thanksgiving pie with slices of turkey breast, gravy, sausage and apple cornbread stuffing topped with cranberry. Cranberry sauce. They're sold out. They sell 500 of these in a single day. Would you have a big slice? I would, I would.
Jennifer Gilardi
And that's it. Like that. I wish I would have that. And then there would be nothing else. For my Thanksgiving dinner. That's the point. You can have these things, but just know, because it sounds like it's good ingredients. Right? It's got turkey. It's got all the things in one little pie. So it sounds convenient, but that is all I would have. And maybe a piece of, like, sweet pie later. But I mentioned this in my piece. You know, my kind of fifth rule was, remember, it's not called gorge giving. It's Thanksgiving. And we're told this every holiday. Remember the reason for the season. But our society and culture has been so consumed with food all the time.
Rob Carson
I know, I know that.
Jennifer Gilardi
That we think it's just the day to stuff ourselves. I think if we can get out. I'm actually calling you from like, a bathroom in the place because I'm going out for a hike for two hours, you know, because.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Jennifer Gilardi
I, I, I like what I preach.
Rob Carson
Yes, yes. Well, you know, do like Jesus did. You know, enjoy. Indulge a little bit, then go for a walk with a dozen of your closest friends. Friends.
Jennifer Gilardi
Yeah, exactly. Or family and dogs. I mean, just remember, so much to do, particularly in this country. I don't think people understand what it's like in other countries, but so much to be grateful for.
Rob Carson
Exactly. Well, we gotta go. I appreciate you so much. Great to have you on. Where can people find all your work?
Jennifer Gilardi
Heritage.org I'm somewhere on that. On that website. And my own website is jennifer gilardi.com all right.
Rob Carson
Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Thanks for being on the show. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is not an ev and it never will be. You know, I was at the, there's this store, it's a restaurant supply place I like to shop at. And I went and bought my jalapenos for my pickled candied Christmas jalapenos the other day. And there's a guy standing there, and we, we were talking about cars or whatever, and he said he had a Ford F150 Lightning, which is an electric truck, which is. I mean, you're a poser if you have an F150 Lightning. And he was talking about, oh, I really love my truck. It's really fast. I said, really? What's your range on that? He goes, oh, full charge is 219 miles. I said, oh, really? He goes, oh, yeah. But it never achieves that. When you put any load on it or it gets cold, you don't even. I mean, what the hell? Why would you even have it? But he's still like, oh, I really like my truck. Really? And it's got a range of what, 150 miles before you got to plug it in? Are you out of your nut? My God. It's crazy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Oh, yeah. By the way, if you would have bought an ounce of gold on Monday. No, if you had had 10 ounces of gold since Monday to today, you would have made $2,000. What? Yeah, because Monday was right around $4,000. Today it's $4,182 an ounce. I told you it was pausing. You got to get on board. You got another, what, four days before. Birch gold doesn't give you gold to buy gold. When you buy $20,000 worth of gold from birch gold, they're going to send you free gold. You might want to get on that right now, maybe today before you go over the river and through the woods. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898 to claim your eligibility for a free info kit on gold and eligibility for free gold. Free gold. With every $20,000 purchased. And as far as your IRA or 401k, you're going to need a whole lot more than $20,000, or you're going to be a hurting unit. $4,182 an ounce. And it was $2,600 last January. It's time to get on the gold bandwagon. Text my name, Rob, to 989-8984, Birchgold, to claim your eligibility for a free info kit on gold and free gold, I might add. And it ends November 30th. So get on the gold train, baby. All right, so coming up on the other side of the top of the hour, a woman. No, a man won the strongest woman in the world contest because he tested positive for penis. We got that coming up. We've got aoc seeking donations for a turkey giveaway, but the money goes to her. Her election campaign. I know. What a nice lady. What a really nice lady. Somalia and Minneapolis Somalians who are criminal are destroying the twin cities that I used to call home and thank God I don't anymore. That's all coming up. And Louie go homer joins us next hour, too. Don't go anywhere.
