Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Political Climate & Media Gaslighting

• Opening Rant [01:05–03:43]:
  Rob opens with a cathartic vent on the weariness Americans feel over recent political drama and perceived media deception, highlighting the mainstream media’s loss of influence:

  "You don’t mean D word for Richard. You have no sway at all. MSNBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC. You’re all dead. You’re all done, you’re all cooked. Nobody's listening." — Rob Carson [02:30]

• Netanyahu Speech Highlights [03:43–06:11]:
  Rob plays and reacts to Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN address, focusing on Israel’s response post-October 7th and his rejection of a Palestinian state near Jerusalem:

  "Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7th is like giving Al Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11th." — Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted) [03:43]

  Rob replays past gaffes from Crockett, delivering running commentary and punchlines:

  "If you are a Democrat, you might want to turn radio off... Because you don’t have any [IQ points] to spare." — Rob Carson [11:18]

  • Parody imitations include deliberate misstatements of arithmetic and mock confusion over national secrets.

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 and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. I hope you had a nice week. Last couple weeks has been kind of. I don't know, man. It's been brutal, right? I gotta tell you, I think we're all just done with it, right? I think we are. Finally, we've reached our breaking point. We are beyond it. We are not going to take this crap anymore from the left in their, their, their temper tantrum, their childish temper tantrum rolling across the country, the damage it has cost caused, particularly in the last, the last month, the last month. And we're also sick and tired of the damn gaslighting of the media because they know the truth. They know the truth. They know where the attacks on ice are coming from. They know all. They know everything. They know that Jim Comey deserves to be prosecuted. They know it. They're using words like retribution. They started him two years ago because they knew if Donald Trump got him at him back in office, the SOBs who did this to him and us, we're going to pay for it. And they're still covering their asses. They're still doing it. They're still covering them. And guess what? Compared to when Donald Trump first took office. You don't mean D word for Richard. You have no sway at all. Msnbc, cnn, pbs, npr, abc, cbs, NBC. You're all dead. You're all done, you're all cooked. Nobody's listening. And the ones who do are dwindling in numbers. But most people are just saying, yeah, you know what? Bull crap. Bullcrap. 8 years ago is when I started a little podcast in my, you know, in my spare bedroom. Eight years ago. And look what we've been through. We've been censored, shut down. This week was YouTube finally said, oh yeah, we'll let you guys back on. We took off during COVID because they're trying to save their butts. Google is trying to not be broken up for its abuses of us. It's all coming. Feces meet fan, fan meet feces. And I am glad it's happening because I have had enough of this bullcrap, to be quite honest. Benjamin Netanyahu speaking in front of the United Nations. A bunch of these morons in the, the, you know, the, the, the New World order that's collapsing, by the way, decided to get up and walk, throw a little temper tantrum. But Ben gave him a little what? Fur.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

Giving The Palestinians estate one mile from Jerusalem after October 7th is like giving Al Qaeda state one mile from New York City after September 11th.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, not getting your estate. You had your shot at a two state solution. What I think and hope and pray they do is banish all members of Al Qaeda and anyone who does not want to live peacefully in Gaza will be, will be exported. Just put it that way, exported. As I've said, evacuate the innocent. Raze Gaza. Raze. You had your shot at a two state solution and you blew it. So no more for you.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

You know what message the leaders who recognize a Palestinian state this week sent to the Palestinians?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I do.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

It's a very clear message. Murdering Jews pays off. Well, I have a message for these leaders. When the most savage terrorists on earth are effusively praising your decision, you didn't do something right. You did something wrong. Horribly wrong. Your disgraceful decision will encourage terrorism against Jews and against innocent people everywhere.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you know, they brainwashed. I will say, maybe not an entire generation, but certainly a whole lot of the population. They made people forget October 7th. I haven't forgotten it. I haven't forgotten it and I never will. It was the. One of the most savage, most awful, evil things you could even imagine. It was Nazi Germany putting babies alive in ovens and baking them to death. Raping a woman standing in line. Last man in line shoots her in the back of the head. You can't continue living on this earth, Hamas. You are done. You are done. A little bit more from Benjamin Netanyahu.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

You remember those beepers, the pagers?

[Rob Carson]

I remember the exploding beepers. That was fun.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

We paged Hezbollah, and believe me, they got the message.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah, they did.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

And thousands of terrorists.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, they got applause.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

Thousands of terrorists dropped to the ground. Yeah, remember those beepers?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, remember that?

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

Pagers.

[Rob Carson]

Hold on. I stopped this.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

We page.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they did. They paged Hezbollah and. And made them go boom. That was, that was what they did. It was actually a brilliant, brilliant tactical move by, by the. By Israel. In fact, I think, if I'm not mistaken. Let me find it here. Jim Gossett did a parody about it. Here it is. It's kind of fun. This is one of my favorites, actually. They had all their new pagers and they had explosives in them. Yeah, kaboom is what it went. For sale or rent off my franks and beans they went, ouch. When I felt it vibrate. Don't put it in your front pocket. By then it was way too late. Those pagers sealed our fate. Listen to them, Gandal Nate. I'm a man with a deadly badger. Watch me explode. Hey, guys, Jim Guzzard, you know, you can make fun of anything. It's kind of fun. That's what we do best here on the, on the show. It's kind of cool. But that's Benjamin Netanyahu today in front of the United Nations. This after absolutely butt kicking speech by Donald Trump this week. Of course, the left went bananas because it was so effective and any, any, any kicked butt. That's basically it. I have some good audio I want to share with you. Donald Trump this week, he did funny stuff. If I can find it here real quick. Trump, Rufo match. Oh, no, no, I'm gonna save that. I'm gonna save that. I've got a lot of things I need to. I want to get to before the end of the show. Here's Donald Trump yesterday talking about Jasmine Crockett, who is a dim witch. She's not an intelligent woman, it's obvious. If you don't believe me, listen to her talk. She's an idiot. She is. She is an idiot. There's no doubt about it. I would debate her on any, any topic, anywhere, anytime. She is the mind of a toddler. But toddlers have intelligence. She doesn't have intelligence, you know, because a toddler can actually have intelligence, just don't have any knowledge yet because of life experience. She's a mental toddler. And she's also stunted intellectually. Here's Donald Trump talking about Jasmine Crockett and Ilhan Omar.

[Adam Carolla]

Jasmine Crockett, Remember what I said. Is she a relation to the late, great Davy Crockett?

[Rob Carson]

No, she's not Jasmin Crockett.

[Adam Carolla]

Let me tell you before you even ask, she's a very low IQ person. I mean, if we ever had to pass an aptitude test, that's the one should take one. Because she shouldn't even be.

[Rob Carson]

Anybody who will change their dialect for the audience and not recognize that you can see it's fake. That shows you are an idiot.

[Adam Carolla]

So I have no idea what you're gonna. But I don't think we should waste that time. This is a low plus.

[Rob Carson]

There are ideas. Her ideas are stupid, too.

[Adam Carolla]

Thank you, person who I can't even believe is a congressperson between her and Ilman Omar.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, yeah, listen to this.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, I met the head of Somalia. Did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back. He said, I don't want her. Okay, what else?

[Rob Carson]

Go ahead.

[Adam Carolla]

You want? Let's hear what. Let's hear what Crockett said.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I love that. You know, and that's kind of what we do here. We use mockery and ridicule and we use comedy to make a point because the left can't fight back against it. They are like an armadillo on the highway on its back. They don't know what to do with it. They've always had command of the, you know, all of the airwaves and everything. And they could just say lively. And we've always been too polite to fight back. We've always been Mitt Romney or George W. Bush. Ain't that anymore. And honestly, I love the fact that he makes fun of these people. That he put a picture of auto pin instead of Joe Biden along the portico outside by the Rose Garden is absolutely brilliant. Because Joe Biden was the most corrupt president in American history beyond a shadow of a doubt. Getting $25 million plus from the Chinese Communist Party into bank accounts with his relatives, there is no doubt about it. With fake LLCs, there is no doubt about it whatsoever. They found cocaine in the damned White House when America's most prolific and famous cocain user was living there. They lied about the laptop, they lied about everything. And then they use the DOJ to go after Trump. That's the Least of their problems is a picture of the auto pin instead of Joe Biden. It doesn't even deserve that. Oh, these are glorious days. Oh, these are glorious days. Hey. For those of you who don't remember how stupid Jasmine Crockett is. Here's a little flashback.

Someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad built, butch body. That would not be engaging in personalities, correct?

What now, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. Chairman.

Because we in these hot ass Texas streets, honey.

God.

Y' all know we got governor hot wheels down there. Come on now.

Just real quick. I want to warn you. We've done this before. You may lose an IQ point or two. If you are a Democrat. You might want to turn radio off or, you know, just pause things, whatever. Because you don't have any despair. You've got to have at least enough to make your autonomic breathing go. And if you're low on IQ points, you could stop breathing and die if you listen to Jasmine Crockett. So just be careful.

And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess. Honey, you not.

One plus one equals two. I'm gonna try it again. Here we go.

We done picking cotton?

Oh.

We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.

Four plus four equals nine.

But when we start talking about things that look like evidence. They want to act like they.

It's eminence is what it is.

Fine. They don't know what this is. These are our national secrets. Looks like in the shitter to me.

This three plus three equals giraffe.

Looks like more evidence of our national secrets. Say on the stage at Mar a Lago. Check you you that. First of all, you shouldn't be doing this.

Plane. You know I can't take it. What happened? What happened just there. Brian, did. Did some. Did I black out? Are we still on the air? Is this thing on? See what I told you? These things happen when Jasmine Crockett Smart starts. And they deserve nothing more than mockery and ridicul. There you go. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Adam Carolla]

The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, baby. That was one of the lines of the year. It's a Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show. We're gonna talk to Tony. We already talked to him. I'm thinking of Christian Toto, Hollywood and Toto the new Spinal Tap movie is out. We've waited 40 years. I was in high school when the first one came out. I watched it the other night with my son. Well, it's been a couple months now. And it's a good movie. It's a very good movie, obviously, and it was groundbreaking for the time when it. When it came out. 1984. Ish. You know, it was. It was revolutionary movie. It was this mockumentary. The. The Monty was a Monty Python. They did the Russells about the Beatles. And then along came this movie. And this movie was mostly improvised. It wasn't as funny as I remembered it. I hoped my son would like it because, you know, the. You know how the culture has changed. You know, things are more flashy, things are more da, da, da, you know, and all this. But he liked the movie. He liked the movie. I'll just. I've seen some reviews. I'm not going to say anything else. We'll talk to him about that. Here you go, Gen X. You ready to feel a little old here? Has anybody seen Tony Hawk do the commercials for joint supplements? Yeah, Joint supplements. Tony Hawk's doing joint supplements. He's. He's 57, by the way, and, you know, still doing the. He's still doing a little skateboarding, you know, and his first skateboard just sold for $1.15 million. There you go. I hope it's someone that appreciates it or that even that the event or that object meant something to them. And look what he did. He revolutionized skateboarding. I remember when I was a little kid, skateboarding was just kind of coming around and we had a skateboard. You know, I didn't do much because, you know, you don't. Didn't have any half pipes in Iowa anyway. But he did. He changed the sport and made it massively popular. If I were 18 or 20 years old, I would get along board for sure. For sure. But some other items. There were like 900 things for sale. $115,000 for a helmet that he wore. 64,000 for sneakers, 57,000 for his knee pads, by the way. So there you go. That's almost as much as Monica Lewinsky's. Went for a little joke there.

[Adam Carolla]

They did that.

[Rob Carson]

Didn't actually have any, by the way. She's a classy person, by the way. She is. She is. She had her life taken away from her by a scumbag guy in the White House. Let's see what else. This is interesting. It wouldn't be amazing if the cure for Cancer were right under our nose. You may recall that when Covid happened, doctors were told that you cannot prescribe anything to make it better. You can't do ivermectin. You can't do hydroxychloroquine. They called ivermectin horse paste. It was bullcrap because it worked. And they are drugs that are very effective in a lot of different ways. First lady Casey DeSantis of Florida announced Florida is going to fund a study on generic drugs, including Ivermect, for potential cancer treatments. See, the big, big pharma didn't make a lot of money with these drugs. They're cheap. They're cheap, but it appears they're very effective. They're going to allocate $60 million in cancer research grants. Mel Gibson appeared with Joe Rogan about a couple of friends who took ivermectin, among other things, and cured their stage four cancer. And I'll tell you a good story, okay? I have three friends. All three of them had stage four cancer. All three of them don't have cancer right now at all. And they had some serious stuff going on. What'd they take? What'd they take? What did they take? Jesus. They took some. What you've heard they've taken ivermectin?

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, that's.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot. They drink hydrochloride, something or other. There's studies on those now where people have proven that. Drinking methyl blue and stuff. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I don't know about the methylene blue, but the other two. My brother David has bladder cancer. I told him you could try it. Just try it. So, you know, it is remarkable. Now they've got another drug. Luca Tryon, was it the other day, they were talking about how it could reverse the symptoms of autism. A couple dollars a pill. It's not, you know, the. The massive amounts of money that the bankrupt people when they're fighting cancer. You know, obviously, cancer is big money for a lot of people. Cancer is a big money. Cancer hospitals, they have cancer. They have cancer degrees, you know, and all of this in school and whatnot. Wouldn't it be wonderful to put them out of business? Sorry, I know you're gonna have to, you know, do. Do you know, code? But wouldn't it be great to get rid of cancer? I've lost so many friends to cancer. Dear God. And it could be. Who the hell knows who they. Who the hell knows? Oh, the United States spent $110 billion on AIDS prevention. Less than half of the money went to medical supplies and health workers. Yeah, no kidding. Just 40% of the 110 billion the United States has invested into global HIV AIDS prevention since 2003 actually went toward the on the ground deliveries of life saving medical supplies. At least two recipients using more than $30 billion in taxpayer money to pay exorbitant executive salaries and push left wing ideology. Yeah. America first global health strategy. Foreign assistance programs are deeply broken and often plagued by fraud, mismanagement, waste. An internal State Department review of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Pepper found 60% of America's investments is lost to overhead cost, executive salaries and in some case radical programming that has included transgender data of remembrance and decolonizing development. Series data shows 40% of Pepper's budget goes directly to finance on the ground delivery. It's all nonsense. RTI International and Chemonix that have used US taxpayer funding to award their executives million dollar salaries and promote far left politics. RTI International took in more than 13 billion from the U.S. taxpayer 2022-23, accounting for 80% of the company's 84% of the company's revenue. More than 30% of the funds came from the U.S. agency for International Development. This is why USAID is gone and all US USAID employees are out of work. Just remember, say welcome to Chick Fil A Bay. I take your order. It's a great day at Chick Fil A because you are working for a corrupt agency that isn't around anymore. The now defunct foreign assisted body that faced long accusations of fighting radical ideologies around the globe. Among other things, some of the things that your money was used for to to celebrate transgender Day of Remembrance from ally to advocate for transgender and non binary employees. In another instance, RTI Press published a report warning of CIS nor motivity and trans antagonism. What a bunch of crap. What a bunch of giant crap. You say that the government's budget doesn't be cut. You're high. Welcome to it. Welcome to what it's like in flyover country the last, I don't know, 40 years. Let's talk to Christian Toto next. How's that sound? It's the Rob Carson Show. Don't go anywhere. So as we get set for the afternoon sessions, there's a new spectator in the house. The President of the United States, Donald Trump and his granddaughter Kai on also with him just arriving to the stands here. That is Donald Trump of the Ryder cup. And it's going to be, I think it's it's going to get bigger. It's bigger and better than ever. I, I actually have, it's really popping. And he got obviously a better reception than Kathy Hochul did yesterday. You know, of course what The Happy Gilmore 2 came out this, it's a good, well, that's not the good year for golf, but obviously golf is in the spotlight. Christian Toto, Hollywood. And Toto joins us on the Newsmax hotline. Christian, are you a, are you a golf fan?

[Christian Toto]

I am not. I feel ashamed that I'm not a golfer, not a golf fan. I, I don't hate this, not like my feelings for soccer, but I just never got into it.

[Rob Carson]

You know what? I, I gave up golf to focus on my marriage and my kids. I know that sounds kind of whatever, but honestly I, between the career and the kids, I just, I put it on the back burner. And I started in my 20s. I was, I was actually, my lessons were by a pro and I had fitted clubs of the whole deal and I was playing some pret good golf and I just got, you know, it because it takes so much time. You know, golf takes so much time, Donald Trump has figured out, because you do a lot of business when you, when you play golf, you know. So anyway, it's kind of a great sport.

[Christian Toto]

It just, I don't know, I mean it's something that I feel like I can maybe get into at some point. I'm in my 50s and running time is running out.

[Rob Carson]

But yeah, you might want to get on that golf game there. So a lot of things going on, a lot of things going on in Hollywood. I saw the trailer for this movie, One battle after Another. It's got a 98 on rotten tomatoes. I talked to my son about it and he's like, dad, this is, I mean, it's supposed to be really good. Have you heard much about it? What, what do you know about this movie?

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, parts of it are really good. This is director Paul Thomas Anderson who gave us There Will Be Blood and Boogie Nights. A very talented director. And listen, whatever you want to think about Leonardo DiCaprio's politics, he waits for the very best directors and the very best projects. He's very selective in what he does. So this is a quality film. It's also incredibly dumb at times and it's an absolute all out attack on ice. The term ice is not mentioned, but the whole story involves these radicals, including the DiCaprio character, who are attacking FBI government officials who are attacking illegal immigrants. I mean, it's almost shocking how imbalanced it is and how one sided it is. And how they depict every government official as either racist or murderous, or sometimes all three. And the Persona of Sean Penn, who's quite good, but one dimensional.

[Rob Carson]

Hey, I gotta, I gotta play this for you. This is Adam Carolla last night on Jesse Waters talking about what he would do to the government agency ice to really hit the Democrats in the face. Listen, it's very funny.

[Adam Carolla]

I came up with a way to save ICE though. And this is exclusive for your show. Jesse, you're gonn love this.

[Rob Carson]

All right.

[Adam Carolla]

They hate ice. Newsom hates ice. They're declaring war on ice. AOC wants to abolish ice. Immigration Customs Enforcement. Right. They hate ice. It's a national organization. Start it with the word N. The letter started with the word and yes, I love it.

[Rob Carson]

Good luck trying.

[Adam Carolla]

Can you imagine National. Imagine Gavin Newsom, these nice agents pulling up here in their nice vans.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, is that a good idea or what? What?

[Christian Toto]

Problem solved, man.

[Rob Carson]

I think national, you know, for whatever the hell they. But they call it nice. I don't know, whatever. I did see something this morning that, that troubled me and it was someone who had seen Spinal Tap Tube. Have you seen it?

[Christian Toto]

I have not seen it yet.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, good. Okay.

[Christian Toto]

Didn't screen it, but go ahead.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it wasn't a good review. It sounded like there were a couple of the cast members and maybe even Rob Reiner phoning it in. These are massive shoes to fill. Especially if you wait 40 friggin years for the sequel.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, it's a really hard assignment on many, many levels. But you know, the main characters, the actors are in their late 70s, early 80s at this point. I know is a classic and you know, it's lightning in a bottle. I mean, honestly. And this makes it a little sad, is that rock and roll, the music scene isn't what it used to be. It's very different. It's not the format that people love these days. It's not conquering the record charts. And so for all those reasons just seemed like a really terrible idea. The last time I checked it, it made about $2.6 million, which is a tiny, tiny.

[Rob Carson]

Oh my God. It is, it is.

[Benjamin Netanyahu (quoted)]

Yeah.

[Christian Toto]

They should have went to straight to streaming. I think that would have been a better bet.

[Rob Carson]

I think, you know, I, you and I were, you know, grew up in the, in the same era, you know, and, and even Boomer's you covers, you, you waited for the album cover, you know, and, and, and an album was an album, you know, and the glorious thing is, like my son, his favorite album of all time is Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon. It's still a masterpiece to Gen Z, but. But gone are the days of the release of an album and a massive tour to back up that album, you know, yeah, it's.

[Christian Toto]

It's a very different world now. And, you know, I think you can lean into that and maybe kind of riff on how things have changed. But, I don't know, I just. I was very curious because, listen, the movie, the original is From, I think 84 is beloved and deserves to be beloved. It's a wonderful film. And you think, well, why wouldn't there be some nostalgia? People would be curious to see what's going on. I mean, even if you fear the worst, you check it out. But some. I don't know, sometimes people can. People can sense things. You know, the American public has a unique radar, and I think some of you can just sniff out a movie that just is not going to be what they want.

[Rob Carson]

But think about that. How. I guess. I guess it's Generation X. Was the. The first generation now to experience a sequel they can remember 40 years after the original came out? Look, they did it with Gun, for God's sake. They did it with Top Gun.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, it can work. It is rolling the dice for sure, the Top Gun movie. I mean, first of all, it's very, very good. So there's that. And, you know, sometimes the movie, there's an appetite for more chapters, more stories. Spinal Tap is beautiful, and it's just. It. It ends. There's a purpose behind it. There's no reason to revisit these characters. Whereas Top Gun, you know, you have an older Tom Cruise playing Maverick, and, you know, what's he doing now that times have changed? He could, you know, go back to his old impulses, teach a young generation the story made sense. It just made sense. So, listen, I haven't seen the new Spinal Cat movie. Maybe it's better than we think, but it. On paper, it just feels like, oh, gosh, let's make a new one, because we need to make a new one. I don't know exactly.

[Rob Carson]

Exactly.

[Christian Toto]

They're there.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. I want to. On the other side of this break, I want to talk about your reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's comeback to. To television. Before we go, though, I did see a headline on Hollywood in Toto. Hollywood in toto. Spaceballs 2 with Rick Moranis. Moranis left Hollywood to raise his kids and. And getting back with Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman by the way, Mel Brooks, it looks like Yoda now, so he doesn't need the makeup.

[Christian Toto]

He's actually older than Yoda. But, hey, God bless.

[Rob Carson]

But, but that. There's talk about that coming around, huh?

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, coming out in 2027. They just released a, a very far away shot of the cast. I listened to a lot of the styles here as well, but we got the same problem here. This is a movie that'll be 40 years old by the time the sequel comes out. Do we need it? And does how involved is Mel Brooks and can it capture that magic?

[Rob Carson]

All right, let's take a break and come back with Christian Toto. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is the Rob Carson Show. Christian and Toto from Hollywood in toto on the Newsmax Hollywood line. So I just got news that Christian, that Sinclair is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. So they've decided to put him back on the air. Obviously he did the, the Apollo. Well, it wasn't an apology. What would you consider his appearance to be this week when he returned to.

[Christian Toto]

The airwaves morally bankrupt?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, yeah, pretty much.

[Christian Toto]

He didn't apologize. He did a, a sort of kind of sounds like an apology, but didn't apologize for what he actually did. And he played the victim. And, you know, it's funny, I've been a huge fan of Adam Carolla for years. I really respect him. I think he's very funny. And I like the fact that those two have remained friends over the decades in part because they are very politically different and they don't let that get in the way. I think it's a wonderful thing. Having said that, Adam keeps saying, oh, he's a good person. He's a good person. Listen, he may be a good person in certain ways, I'm not going to deny that, but a genuinely good person would not have done all of this. Genuinely good person would not have lied like he did for political posturing points. He wouldn't have done it. And then when he got caught out and, you know, basically, he didn't just impact his show and his future, but I'm sure there are many, many people who work on that show. And if he had just apologized and done the right thing immediately, none of this would have happened. But he couldn't do that. He couldn't apologize. He had to double down in certain ways. It's really, it's depressing to watch. Also, you know, he and Colbert have really ruined late night TV to turn it into msnbc. And, you know, can he, can he Try to make us laugh. Can he try to be funny? Is that. Have they completely given up that particular mission? I mean, where are the jokes? I don't hear. I hear lectures. I hear finger, finger wagging, this crying. Maybe, maybe crack crack wise once in a while and something legitimately funny. Not the clapter.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's. And I've always said this because I worked in music radio for a good share most of my career actually, before successfully seguining into talk radio radio. I'm not sure if you were ever on with. I think you might have been on when I was doing music radio Christian at mix 107.3 in D.C. i think I might have had you on. That's where I met you originally. Okay, but, but you do have to choose your lane. You do have to choose your lane. That's just the way it is. Now. I can do a political show that's humorous. Okay. That's what I do. I, I do a political show. We make a point with humor whenever we can. I do obviously have some serious thoughts about issues and whatnot. But that's how you set it up. Up. You set it up. You say it's a political show and we use humor. You can't say we have the Tonight show and we're going to make it political and exclude half of the audience. That has always been a failure. If I would have done that in morning radio at WRQX in dc, they'd say you're gone, done. None. Talk about Hollywood dish, you know, do wacky, you know, whatever nonsense that you do in music radio. But that's what they did. And anyone who has ever been in entertainment knows and that will fail. I just am amazed that nobody had the balls to tell Kimmel and Colbert knock it off.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, well, in a way CBS did, but, you know, by letting. Not only canceling him, but canceling the show, of course that's going to happen next year. It's just stunning. It just, I just don't understand what they're doing. And you know, it's all about misinformation. I mean, it's, I mean, to watch that show, you get dumber, you actually lose IQ points and you're not really up to speed on the latest issues. It's so far left and so it's so eager to misconstrue what's going on in reality. I mean, it's doing everyone disservice. And that was one of the biggest things about the thing that got him in trouble in the first place. He blamed the Killing of Charlie Kirk on maga. And that's the complete opposite. What a terrible thing to do, to use it as a cudgel. And that's what he did. And he's genuinely not sorry, and that's why he didn't apologize, and that's why he gets ragged, too.

[Rob Carson]

This, you know, vinyl's making a comeback, right? There are some things that we, we. We decide, okay, we've moved away from it, but maybe it's cool to have it. Whatever. I. You remember appointment television. We raised on a appointment television. I remember Wednesday night, the Muppet Show. I remember Thursday night. It was. It was the Love Boat, Fantasy Island. Right. I know that's old, old. But then it, you know, became friends on Thursday nights, you know, and, and all of this. The only appointment television we really watch is, like, news programming. You know, you watch, you know, Rob Schmidt, you watch, you know, Chris Salcedo, you watch sports. Sports is particularly NFL football. You know, Ryder cup today. That's appointment television. Do you suppose that appointment television, like, late night will never be back?

[Christian Toto]

Well, I don't think never. Yeah, I wouldn't put my. That's for sure. I mean. Yeah.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Christian Toto]

Part of this is that we can get at whatever Kimmel or Leno or, you know, our Fallon or anyone says pretty soon on. On YouTube and other social media platforms, it gets, it kind of gets bounced around pretty quickly. Yeah. I mean, you would think that we all go to bed late at night, we all go to bed around that time, that there is a genuine opportunity. If you put out something that's really compelling, that, that could come back. That, that, that shouldn't have to die. But, you know, look at what's happening.

[Rob Carson]

It is kind of interesting. You know, we do appointment listening here. And now we do appointment viewing. Right now we are on Newsmax X rumble, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and. And we have right now, right now, thousand tens of thousands of people watching. So there are people making appointments as men making a part of their day. What we do here. So, you know, it's interesting. It is injury. A lot of the times you catch up things later because you're busy. But a lot of times also there's comfort in knowing that's going to be here from noon to 3. I'm making a new plug for my show is what I'm doing here. Kristen.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, listen, if we want, if we want the content, if we're really hungry, it. We'll wait. We'll wait till the exact time it drops and get there. So that's.

[Rob Carson]

And this is why we have you, Christian Toto this is why we have you, Christian Toto in the in the last half hour of the Rob Carson show on Fridays. It is appointment listening, my friend. Now, before we go, where can people listen to your podcast? And Obviously Hollywood in toto.com is your website. Go ahead.

[Christian Toto]

Yep, it's on YouTube, it's on Rumble, it's on itunes, it's on Spotify. Most audio platforms you'll be able to find, of course, podcast, podcast. So it's, it's pretty easy to find. And you also just go to hollywood in toto.com. you can find links there as well.

[Rob Carson]

Always a great conversation, my friend. Have a glorious weekend. We'll talk to you again next Friday. Let's take a break. You are listening to the Rob Carson show Audio Slave. Show Me how to Live. That was a great record. Audio Slave's first record, about 2000, had a whole bunch of really good songs on it. Show Me how to Live as my favorite. So your statute of limitations, like Jim Comey's ends on September 30th. Yours is to buy gold from Birch gold and get $10,000 in free models, possibly up to a rebate of $10,000 if you buy gold from Birch Gold. But Again, it's on the 30th of September.

It would be great. I would appreciate that. Here's something kind of cool this week there was a Matt Shaw plays for the Chicago Cubs and he decided he took the day off to go to Charlie Kirk's memorial service and the bait ball play by play announcer Gary Cohen had a problem with it.

[Sports Commentator]

Shaw had Cubs world in a tizzy this weekend when he was not here for the color Cubs game with the Reds game they lost one nothing and in which his lack of presence was felt. It was later revealed that he had been Given permission to attend Charlie Kirk's funeral.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. And.

[Sports Commentator]

And I don't want to talk about any of the politics of it, but the. The thought of leaving your team in the middle of a race for any reason other than a family emergency really strikes me as weird.

[Rob Carson]

It's unusual. I think it's unprecedented, at least from, you know, sometimes humanity usurps the sport. Here's what Matt did last night on Kate Horton, but those two guys coming back, this ball snuck left center field, and that one is carrying on. There you go. Matt shaw, blast off. 13th time. Yeah, keep coming. For the Cubs, it's six nothing. There you go. You know, I got a soft sport for the Cubbies. I got to tell you. I went to see. The only Cubs game I went to see was with the Cubs were taken on St. Louis. It was 1998. To go there. I pay $180 for two scalped seats where third baseline was sitting there. No action. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. And I'm like, no national anthem, no nothing. This is before, you know, like, cell phone technology really was, you know, as prolific as it is now. So I went up and I talked to the, you know, hot dog vendor, said, what's going on? Where's the game? Well, it turns out the guy named Daryl Kyle was pitcher for the Cardinals, and he died in his hotel room. And so we lost the tickets and everything. I don't know. I'm sharing that. But anyway, it's kind of interesting. Kind of interesting. That was the last one of the last times I went to Chicago. I need to get back. No, I don't. Not until they get a new mayor. Not going back to Chicago. Not going to happen. By the way, my TV show, Rob Carson's what in the World is on Sunday night on Newsmax, is the only comedy show on Newsmax. And, guys, things are about ready to blow up. The show's gonna get bigger, better, more spectacular. We're gonna be doing a new set here, new set design. And you know, it's gonna get big. That's all I'm just gonna tell you. That's gonna get really big. So Sunday night, Newsmax, Rob Carson's what the world. 8:30 Eastern. Okay. Have a glorious weekend. God bless you. From the bottom of my heart. God bless you. America's founded Donald Trump as he saves this country. Charlie Kirk and his family. And until Monday, don't catch the stupid. I'll see you then, guys.
