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, Friday, Friday, Friday. What a week it has been. It's hot. It's hot. Where I live in the 90s and whatnot. Yesterday went to Gettysburg with listeners. It was the first time that I'd been to the Gettysburg Visitors center and it's called a cyclorama and it's this massive painting that was done. It took 11 months and dozens of people to do it and it's absolutely stunning. And they made it into a 40 foot high circle around you and it's a theater. And then at the base of it they've done landscaping to make it look like the battlefield, like with wagon wheels and, and, and I don't know, fencing and, and all the things that you saw. So it looks like the, the, the, the, the landscape of Gettysburg and then becomes the painting and then the painting and, and I posted on, on Facebook yesterday at Rob Carson show if you want to see it. I, I've been so bloody busy. I have been able to post all the photos on Twitter and whatnot. But it was, it was something else. And if you haven't been in a while, it was, it was better than I could have ever imagined. The last time I was there is like 2006. So I had a kid and a toddler. I had a baby and a six year old. So I don't think I was able to take it all in like I was. But yesterday I was. And yesterday we had a guy named Jim Miller who was a storyteller on the bus with us. And this guy was just brilliant. I'm trying to reach out to him today and I'm not gonna, I would refer to the opening monologue today on Today's show. If you want to hear about the defense of Little Round Top and how unbelievable the story is, go to your usual podcast platforms. Look up Rob Carson's show, Listen to the opening monologue about this and I'll just. In a quick recap, Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain told his men fix bayonets. They had no ammunition, they had no bullets. And he said, we have to charge the Confederates. The Confederates had been waylaying them on Little Round Top and it's this rocky hill with kind of volcanic rock sticking out, you know, and whatnot. And, and so they fixed their bayonets knowing that they were going to die. They were going to die. There was no chance that they could make it down that hill to take out the Confederates with no ammunition. And so they prayed aloud. They shouted their prayers at God in heaven as they ran down that hill towards the Confederates. And they were so loud in their prayers, asking for God to accept them into his arms or to save them, one or the other, that they couldn't hear the commanding officers. All you could hear here was them coming down that hill praying out loud. And the Confederates retreated. The well armed Confederates retreated. How does that happen unless it is a godly act? I'm going to get Jim Miller, if I can, to tell this story like he did to our group yesterday. Because it was this man, you should have seen him, older gentleman, white beard, hat on. And he just talked non stop for an hour and a half, just stopped non stop like this constantly. And he closed his eyes and he had memorized the words of these soldiers as they shared them in their journals. And when they were interviewed and he channeled them, it was, it was an extraordinary, extraordinary visit. Everybody on this bus were enraptured by this man. Jim. Well, Jim Miller's words. And he would just close his eyes and disappear into the story. He talked about the war horse. There was this war horse that was shot 14 times in. This old horse survived, lived longer than General Lee. This horse, it was. Oh my gosh, I wish I could relay it to you. Listen to the full monologue. First hour of the show. First hour of the show. It was something else. And, and by the way, I do believe we still have a few seats left for the big trip coming up in October, October 25th through the night with tours and travel. And I'm telling you, if you've been watching all the stories about the reflecting pool and all of this, you will know that this is the time to come to DC. So go to travelwithrob.net, travelwithrob.net I know you're being tempted by coming out here. I'm going to be going to the Reflecting pool tomorrow morning. I think I'm going to do a quick Instagram broadcast from the reflecting pool. It's unofficial. It's not a sanctioned event. It's just me going down there. I want to see the dang thing. So come down. In the meantime, you know, we got to do something. We got to do. Who caught the stupid update? Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
C
People, people, people, just plain stupid.
B
Stupid is stupid. Does Ms. Blue, who got stupid? So you know what elites say? You know what Democrats say? You know what he says? They say, make the rich pay their fair share. Make those who are well off pay more. Because it's fair. It's only fair. It's only fair. But not when it comes to their Washington Post subscription. Listen, who. Who the hell reads the Washington Post? Who. Who still reads the Washington Post? Did you know they built this bridge? The Wilson. The. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge. He was a piece of crap president. He was a socialist, and they built the BR for him. And it's a drawbridge. Did you know that they spent hundreds of million dollars on a drawbridge since I left D.C. and came back. And it's named after Woodrow Wilson. You know why they named it? They made it into a drawbridge. Are you ready for this? Because the Washington Post is right upriver and they bring these barges with these big rolls of paper on them and they won't fit under the bridge. So they made the dang thing a drawbridge for the Washington Post. At least that's the story that I. That I heard. And it wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me. If you want to argue with me or whatever, send me a note. But that's what I heard. The Washington Post faces a class action lawsuit filed in the D.C. superior Court on Thursday after legacy papers recent use of reader data to set subscription prices, a practice referred to as surveillance pricing, the proposed class of readers argue in the suit. The Washington Post turns its audience reading habits into a pricing profile based on demographics, their activities and whatnot. And this would include socioeconomic status because you're looking at all sorts of things like what you buy and whatnot. Surveillance pricing. Since at least December 2024, in which not a single subscriber was aware of the Post, surveillance pricing, or secret harvesting of subscriber data, the law does not allow this contact. State attorneys general across the country, along with the Federal Trade Commission, have begun investigating companies that engage in surveillance pricing using consumers personal information instead of market forces to set individual prices. So basically what they were doing is they were finding upper class people who made a little bit more money and charging them more. Which if I'm not mistaken, Zo Rob is Cool Whip. And so I didn't say Cool Whip. I said Cool Whip. They're completely different things. Cool Whip is a dessert topping that I used to eat right out of the freezer. I know it was. And it isn't even food. And Hakeem Jeffries is also kind of a creation of toxic chemicals that you don't want to ingest. That said, he is cool with it. All the Democrats would be cool with this. If you, if you have more money, you should give more. Bernie. Bernie Santos, he should be completely cool with this. So the Post had to disclose a surveillance policy in which New York required companies to set prices using algorithms, not algorithms based on consumer personal data to do so. The class action includes several reactions from subscribers who were outraged by the revolution. They call it. Listen to this. They call it price gouging. Price gouging. Essentially paying a penny for the Washington Post is price gouging. Paying for the Washington Post is price gouging. Who would want to buy that piece of crap? That said, outraged by the reaction, One customer comparing the scheme to a grocery store charging two customers different prices for a loaf of bread, with the only difference being their browsing habits. That sense of unfairness became even more powerful when customers compared notes on their pricing publicly. One frustrated user described seeing a renewal jump from $170 to $260 dollars. My God, you're spending $260 to read the Washington Post. You won't miss it if you've got that kind of money to spend that kind of money on something that stupid. Honestly, what are you complaining about? Canceled in response. Then later clicked to an article and was shown a new subscription offer again referencing the older lower annual price. Another person immediately got asked, why was yours 170? Originally? I managed to get it for 60 bu. For 60 bucks. So they have this, this policy which allowed the company to gather subscriber information, analyze their cookies. Analyze their cookies. I know, I know. And browsing history and compile comprehensive profile of the users. But apparently Democrats who read this paper who think that rich people should pay their fair share have a real problem with rich people paying a little bit more for their newspaper. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
C
People, people, people just plain stupid.
B
Stupid ain't stupid. Does miss. And again, if you pay Anything to have a good time. You pay anything to get the Washington Post. You're bordering on on stupid. Let's take a break and come back.

John Lee Hooker song from from way back. I'm kind of a music guy. Kind of a music guy. In case you didn't notice it. We have a phone call on the line. Alice from Catonsville who happened to be on the Gettysburg trip yesterday. Alex. Alex, I said you. Alex. Alice, welcome to the Rob Carson show. What's up today?
C
Oh, my gosh. Well, we've been really busy around here because I'm trying to move furniture and stuff. But yesterday was wonderful. I had to call and I had to thank you so much for arranging that trip. It was, it was more than touching, it was amazing and it was heartfelt.
B
Yeah.
C
And I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to go yesterday. It was just, it was amazing. And now.
B
Alice, Alice, did you, did you get a chance to see Jim Miller, the guy who was the tour guide or were you on that bus?
C
I was actually on bus. The other bus.
B
You were on the other bus. You were on the other. But I'm gonna tell you, I recall talking to you and your husband yesterday and I looked over and I saw after the cyclorama and after the film that you and there were several people who were in tears over this. I mean, literally just broken up over something that happened 170 years ago.
C
I was sobbing. Yeah, it was hard.
B
And I'll tell you, in our 250th year of our birth, in the time that we have so much we riches, it's embarrassing compared to what those men and what I think was real yesterday. A. We're patriotic people celebrating the 250th year. But recognizing how ungodly hot it was yesterday and thinking of the young men wearing wool and, you know, starving and
C
going without water the entire time, I kept thinking about that, especially because I have five boys and I have two girls and I, I cannot imagine how horrific it would be to have your sons out there on that battlefield doing that. And I, I just, it was overwhelming. And as a mother, it just. You. You want to run out onto that battlefield and tell them to cut it out.
B
I know, I know, I know. It was. If you could have heard the. The Jim Miller conversation. There were some things he made. He made so real. He talked about how there was this. They made like 160 field hospitals and they were amputating limbs for months. They were amputating limbs for months. And there was this hospital where there was a nine foot pile of limbs that had been severed. And they had children, you know, A young girl, 13, who became a nurse, effectively disposing of the limbs. We can't even imagine the horse. And we have to be reminded. We have to be reminded of this, Alice, because you've got so many kids now who can order Uber Eats and they be. And whine about everything and they've been through nothing. They've been through nothing.
C
Agreed. And. And I had to also give a shout out to Robin and Patricia, who came all the way from North Carolina. They were lovely. I was so happy to meet them. And there was Bob and Ray. I think they were in your bus. Bus too. And they were just so much. And. And Bob gave the most beautiful prayer Grace on. On the lunch.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
It was such a great experience. Robin, again, I have to thank you for doing it, hon.
B
I appreciate you. Have a glorious day. Appreciate you. We're gonna do more stuff like this. And again, we got that trip coming up in the fall, which is gonna be amazing. It's gonna be amazing. Yeah, I'm. There was a thing about the crowd yesterday. Everybody there is proud of America and enough with this nonsense, this ridiculous nonsen, you know, hating on America during her 250th year. Hating on America. It is. I'm just done with it. I'm done with it to be quite honest. Done with it. If you don't want to come to the party, screw you. Seven Democrat states are not coming to the the what they're doing all the states fair here. Seven Democrat run states are not going to participate because Donald Trump is president. Screw them. We didn't want you there anyway. All you do is make things foul. All you do is stink things up. Don't come. Don't come to the party. If you, if you do love your country enough to attend regardless of who the President is, screw you. Honestly, don't come. You would have made it suck. Sex, Lies and Secrets Federal Judge Trisco Public heard about this Judge Eleanor Ross career and caseload under scrutiny for years, Judge Eleanor Ross secretly was passed down from law clerk to law clerk. They whispered about the sultry jazz music that imitated from imitated from her chambers. When an uninformed uniformed police officer, a man they called her, disappeared into her private office. The clerks would sometimes hear the unmistakable sounds of sex from behind the door. They chalked it up as one of the burdens of working for Judge Ross who routinely rubber stamped their rubber stamped their draft orders and added little else before issuing them as rulings. She was going through the motions. Bow chicka bow. One day last year a clerk finally had enough and reported her. The complaint led to a month long judicial investigation that involved courthouse interviews and the seizure of a beige office couch cushion that was tested for bodily fluids. Oh that's just nice. That is nice. Did you hear the audio last week? This is one of the clerks recording her outside the chambers last year. This is actually real. Yeah yeah yeah. The she was nominated to the bench in 2014 by Barack Obama. The report from the Judicial Committee documented Judge Ross year long affair with a high ranking police officer. Also concluded that she had improperly attended a campaign event for an unnamed district attorney. This was pretty much hell for the the people who clerked in her office. Her Office was the 17th floor of the federal courthouse with two couches, a meeting table and windows that overlooked the Atlanta Falcon stadium. Among the decor in her chambers was a picture of just justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a quote from Beyonce and Drake song and the quote is all them fives need to listen. When a 10 is talking. Apparently the the officer must have thought the the clerks told the Times that their stomachs churned when they realized what was taking place. But coupled with their actions, it also represented something fundamentally painful to them that a person with a role they revered, a person whose was to decide American laws seemed not to care the, the, the way they cared. So basically she's, you know, a filthy, rotten novel person. They actually did an interview with the police officer, with the police officers. He was questioned about what happened. You had sex with her every time you met, didn't you? Didn't you? Liar.
C
He's badgering the witness.
B
It's his witness. You slammed her. You ducked her donut. You gave her dog a sausage. You stopped her like a Thanksgiving turkey. All right, all right. It's true. Okay, There you go. That's the actual audio of the police officer in buckle in closed door testimony. Or it could be a Jim Carrey movie. That said, coming up on the other side of the break, we've got Christian Toto. I'm going to talk a little bit obviously about this, the show that I'm kind of digging. But also he's got some other news from Hollywood, including Jimmy Kimmel's cruel attack on Spencer Pratt explained. And Kimmel's Graham Platner joke proves Trump broke his brain. That among other things on the other side of the break as we as we continue with one of our unusual suspects on Friday.

A
I'm great. How are you?
B
I'm good. You know, my daughter and my son are back with me and staying with me my son this week and then my daughter will be staying the rest of the summer. One of the things that I've enjoyed with them is. Is binge watching television. And we got back into it with this show on Apple tv. I had mentioned it to you. You haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but it is, it is absolutely incredible. It's like you remember Northern Exposure? Remember the TV show Northern Exposure?
A
Oh, yeah.
B
It's very funny. It's kind of dry, very wry, very. Not laugh out loud, you know, like Seinfeld, but very smart, very funny. And you combine it with the Shining. It is something else. I my kids, Christian told me that, dad, you're going to enjoy the show, that you're going to notice that there's a real sense of humor to it. And then once an episode, it's going to scare the hell out of you. And it does that. Now. Do you do scary stuff? I'm not a scary stuff guy.
A
I love horror. It's my favorite genre. I love it. Jam. And it, it is like a. I don't know if it's a fight or flight. It's maybe for me it's just pure escapism. When I'm feeling stressed out, I've had a hard day. There's something about watching a horror movie that scratches an itch with. I'm often not proud of that because sometimes the stuff I'm watching is pretty grueling. I mean, I've seen the terrifier films, which are gory beyond.
B
I don't.
A
Yeah, I don't. I don't recommend that it's it or like the Saw.
B
I don't think Saw is terrifying. It's just grotesque. But this is like the. Okay, I'll just tell you there's one where there's this scary clown and it's only for a fraction of a second, but it's enough to scare the hell out of you. There it almost is kind of like you remember Twilight Zone. You remember the smartness of the Twilight Zone. They'd come up with these scenarios, whether it be wishing away a kid and, you know, kid wishing away people in the cornfield. And the picture of the guy's head bouncing up and down like he's a jack in the box. I mean, oh my God, you know, that's what it kind of reminds me of. It's. It's smart and it combines these odd scenarios. It's an island, by the way, off of the East Coast, Widow's Bay. And, and. And people are. Who are born there can never leave or they'll die and the island is cursed. It's just so good, you know?
A
Speaking of scares, brief scares, do you remember the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
B
Oh, God, yes.
A
Microscopic scene where a dog and a person were fused together by the Body Snatcher pod. And it scared me silly as a kid. I still remember it.
B
Meanwhile, for people my age, it was the Wicked Witch of the west and I'm unhaunted. You'd nightmare. Now. That's nothing, right? That's nothing. Before we get to the other things, I just saw that Barry Weiss is going to basically be CBS's news editor in chief. We saw what had happened with, with Scott Pelley. And I gotta tell you, you want to talk about arrogance and hubris that you would go to an editorial meeting in any boss's meeting and dress down your new supervisor and expect not to have your butt kicked out and then go to the New York Times and badmouth your employer. I mean, what. He's proven everything that we thought about him.
A
It's pretty remarkable. And the fact that he does. He doesn't seem to be aware of how absurd he sounds. He compared. Listen, he's had a job for a very long time. I have sympathy for anyone who loses a job after a very long time. For sure. He compared that to a spouse being murdered. I think that is so beyond the pale. I can't believe he said it. But these people are so insulated, they don't realize who they sound like. Why it's so embarrassing, but it is. This is the kind of shit that Jimmy Kimmel should be teeing off on nightly. But he doesn't ignores it.
B
You know, if. If what you say is true about media jobs, losing media jobs and akin to having your wife murdered. I'd be one of the biggest serial killers in history. I mean, just unbelievable because, you know, and I just have never. I've never. Mmm, boy, you know, you know that scene in the Bridge over the River Kwai when they blow the bridge up at the very. And that's what Scott Pelley did with the bridges between him and CBS News.
A
Listen, you don't do that. I've left jobs and I was under less than wonderful circumstances, but I didn't. I didn't burn those bridge. I didn't take people to task. I could have. Maybe I should have. Maybe it was the right thing, the wrong thing. You just don't behave that way. It's just wildly irresponsible. And if you trash the boss like that, you will be fired in 99% of the time jobs.
B
What also I found to be interesting is that if you watch 60 Minutes, you can tell how ungodly biased they are. I mean, they, they deceptively edited a Kamala Harris interview and it cost the network $16 million. And yet Scott Pelley appears to be completely clueless as to his own personal biases. That to me is just unfathomable. I have friends like that here in Washington, D.C. who, who used to quote the Washington Post when they wanted to argue against my conservatism. And I would say, you're quoting the Washington Post and you expect me to think that's credible? He's taken that kind of unbiased or a very biased opinion and put it to the pedal to the metal because he is truly biased.
A
He's a quote. I heard him say we're biased. Show me the metric that says that we're biased. Well, I've been reading polls over the last decade where each year there's a new poll saying it's even more biased than the last year. How could he miss that? If I'm just a regular person and I'm not a vaunted CBS employee?
B
Well, this is what is causing their demise. And they don't see it. They are committing suicide themselves. And the same goes for Jimmy Kim. The same went for Stephen Colbert. They know they're biased, though. That's the difference between them and Scott Pelley. Scott Pelley hides behind this shield of vaunted First Amendment journalism when he is really kind of wiping his rear end with the Bill of Rights.
A
What's amazing is you could just fire up that old Google machine and say liberal media bias or media bias, and the thing is going to light up like a Christmas Tree with all these polls and all these stories and all these things, he doesn't even want to do that. Or is he just refusing to do that? I don't know which is worse.
B
Well, you know, I don't like to watch msnbc. I know what I'm going to get on msnbc. And so maybe it's kind of that vibe going that he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to know. He's plugging his ears, he's humming, la la la la la la. I don't hear anything. But whatever it is, it's caused his demons. He's been invited by a couple of other unemployed people. I believe it's, I'm not sure who it was. Jim Acosta. Jim Acosta. Hey, come join us online with Joy Reid. And you know, I mean really, I mean really, that's where you're gonna go from 60 Minutes? It's laughable. It's laughable.
A
Mighty fallen.
B
Well, yeah. And exactly. And when you see people like Nick Shirley, 23 year old guy. Guy, not a particularly well spoken individual, but he's just delivering the truth. He's just delivering the truth. And, and, and Scott Pelly could not save himself. He is literally self immolating and not even realizing he's on fire. We got a couple other stories I want to hit on the other side of the break about Jimmy Kimmel that, that I like to talk with you more with, with Hollywood and Toto's Christian toto. Go to hollywoodandtoto.com again. Go to YouTube for the podcast. It's fascinating. Let's take a break and come back back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
A
Donald Trump's election. It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the Rob Carson show. I watch 60 Minutes. I watch Nicole Wallace. I read the New York Times on Sunday Day. Not every day. I know what they're saying though. But I do that they don't do what I do. They don't watch Newsmax. None of them do. And as a result they don't realize that they are completely out of touch with half of the country.
B
Yeah.
A
What was the feeling about that particular opening salvo to the team?
B
Oh, she, I am told, said something to the effect of why do you think, why the country thinks you're biased. But she didn't offer any kind of a metric, you know, what's your metric? Why did, why do you think so do you have a poll? Is there market research? No, I don't know about 30 years of every night you Guys doing leftist leaning stories you should be obvious about. That's the sound bite you were talking about. Christian Toto.
A
That's it. It's amazing. It's amazing. I mean just the lack of curiosity. I mean if he's really asking that question, gee, just ask a friend, ask a neighbor, go on Twitter for five seconds, do that Google search and you'll get all the information you want. But he doesn't want it. He doesn't want to do that apparently.
B
No, and I, it is voluntary ignorance. That's what it is. It's voluntary ignorance. Or just absolutely deny. I don't even know. It's, it's, it's delusional either way. Let's talk about other stuff. There's a lot of great stuff on Hollywood in toto, including Jimmy Kimmel's cruel attack on Spender. Spencer Pratt explained. And Kimmel's grand Platner jokes prove Trump broke his brain. Let's start with Graham Platner. Yeah, Spencer Pratt.
A
Yeah, well, I mean listen, it's one thing if he doesn't want Spencer Pratt to win, okay, that's fine. You look at the ruin that is la. I don't know how you come up with that conclusion, but fine. Yeah, but he really after it looked like Spencer Pratt was going to lose that race and of course the, you know, a real comedian might say, gee, that, that polling that takes like three weeks to get done, you know, the counting the votes, you think that'd be suspicious. But he doesn't go there. He just basically mocks Spencer Pratt says, well, you said you might leave the city if you lost. Well, we rented you a U haul
B
and bye bye Spencer Pratt. Is that what he did?
A
That's exactly what he did. Punching down, remember you couldn't punch down. This guy just lost an election and he lost his house, he lost all his belongings. And what Spencer Pratt said in response to Kimmel was hey, thanks for the U haul but I don't have any belongings because my house burned down.
B
Now Spencer Pratt has just put out a new video and he says he's not going anywhere. And I'm going to share that very shortly on the the show here. But that's what he's saying. He's not going anywhere. I think he's going to fight this. I'm of course not alleging any fraud. Even though, you know, Top Rahman over there was 20 points behind election night. I'm certainly not alleging any fraud. Christian Toto, that would be foolhardy without proof. But clearly he's not going to go anywhere. Kimmel's Graham Platner joke proves Trump broke his brain. What's that all about?
A
So he finally, finally, finally brings up the fact that, hey, there's a candidate out there who's got a Nazi tattoo and has got about a bucket load of scandals behind him, and there could be more. Every day there's a new story about Platner and he said, you know, well, at this rate, he might actually run up, end up running for the presidency under the Republican tickets. That was his joke.
B
Wow.
A
Turned a Democrat with all his baggage was fellow Democrats are rallying around, said, well, he's so unhinged and so disturbed and so Nazi ask the GOP might make him president.
B
It's just unbelievable. That's, that's, that's just insane. You know, I've been talking about conservative comedy ascending because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. Right now we are on the cusp of we've lost. What was the David Letterman program. I said that, that, you know, you had Johnny Carson pass the baton to Jay Leno, you know, Jimmy Kimmel, or I should say Stephen Colbert was passed the baton and beat Late night to death with it. We're on the cusp of not only losing that show, but also next is going to be Kimmel. There's going to be two massive voids in what was late night. And trust me, I'm looking at that in Washington, D.C. we'll just leave it at that.
A
Yeah, just an amazing state of affairs. Listen, late night TV may just go away based on a culture, based on changing attitudes, may be the way we consume content today. We just go on YouTube or other platforms to find those kind of, those gags.
B
Late night's not going anywhere. It's just not going to be late night anymore.
A
Yeah, yeah. I mean, those hours of the night
B
will still continue, but we would have
A
a Colbert to haunt us, that's for sure.
B
Exactly. I did see Masters of the Universe, a review on there. You know, it's a big thing. He man was really big. I think more so for Millennial. I noticed that Denny's had for some reason a Masters of the Universe he man menu. That makes sense. Denny's, you know, I get the skeletor pancakes and what the hell, I don't even know. But apparently not that great. Not that great a movie.
A
Yeah. You know, and the thing that's weird about it, you're spending all that money on a movie that appeals to basically Gen X. And that's fine. That's great. I'm Gen X. I appreciate that. But the kids today, I don't think they care about humans. I don't think it matters. The older generation didn't grow up with that, so they don't care either. So why would you spend all that money on a project where you've got a very limited audience? It just doesn't make sense.
B
Yeah, if they would have made it Soy man, it would have been much better. All right, Christian, Toto, where can everybody find your, your podcast and your glorious work?
A
Well, it's on YouTube. Just find you in Hollywoodintoto.com or go to Spotify or itunes.
B
If you don't start watching Widow's Bay, I'm gonna be very disappointed in your. You, you've got to do Apple tv, I'm telling you. And I'm going to, I'm going to text you this weekend. I'm. Have you watched it? I'm going to, I'm going to text you at two in the morning if I have to. You get on that show. All right, take care, bud. We appreciate you. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
D
Now that the campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close.
B
Close.
D
And I'm moving on to the next more interesting phase. Listen, I've spent a lot of time slaying everybody. I've ridiculed everyone on the roster and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I like to take the chance to apologize to absolutely nobody. You think you can get rid of me that easily? I know a lot of dim witted jerks thought I was in this for a grift, that I was gonna roll up and leave town if I didn't get into City Hall.
B
It's just not fair.
D
Hey, morons. I didn't get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine and nothing has changed. You enjoy your worthless meetings in City Hall.
B
You have all this information. You're running for mayor. Show what you're really about or get the fuck out of the room. Spencer Pratt, ladies and gentlemen, doing a comeback and he's not going anywhere. He's not going anywhere. That just came down the pike here. But yeah, Spencer Pratt is not going anywhere and we'll see where he takes it from here. But clearly he's not going to go anywhere. And I actually hope that he's not going to go anywhere because I think he ran a great campaign and I think that LA is going straight into the pits of, you know, where to be quite honest. And the only thing it's going to save it is somebody like Spencer Pratt. We still have the possibility of the election going on with California with the governor not going to be as easy to, you know, maybe the vote counting won't go the same way as it did in this one, but I guess we'll kind of see. Good luck, Spencer Pratt. And honestly, California needs and LA needs that. That's all there's by the way, this weekend my TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World. It is on Newsmax. It is on twice during the weekends. It's also on Newsmax 2, by the way, but it's on this weekend Saturday afternoon at 3pm and then again Sunday night at 8:30 following Dr. Michael Savage's show. This weekend show is absolutely outstanding. Oddly enough, I'm trying to get the actual what was on the show this week because we got a lot of good stuff on the show this week. I don't have the rundown of our of me, but I basically like today is my this afternoon and tomorrow are my days off and Sunday is and actually I'll start tomorrow. I start gathering clips for next weekend show. Sunday I gathered, you know, clips for next week's show. Monday I grab clips for next week's show and write the script. And then generally I tape Tuesday or Wednesday for next week's show. So it is a, it is a labor of love and it takes a lot of work to do this. But I think you're really going to enjoy it. As always, I've said that conservative comedy is on the ascent because the left can't be taken seriously anymore. Clearly that's the case with Gutfeld's Ascension. My show is a little show I've been doing for six years. Donald Trump watches it every week and retrouths it frequently. He has told me that I am the funniest man on television.

Host: Rob Carson
Special Guest: Christian Toto (Hollywood in Toto)

On this special Friday edition, Rob Carson brings a lively blend of history, politics, media criticism, and pop culture, all woven with his signature satire. The show opens with reflections on his listener trip to Gettysburg, sharing vivid experiences and lessons from America’s bloodiest battlefield—and how it remains relevant in understanding patriotism today. Later, pop culture critic Christian Toto joins for a no-holds-barred run through media bias, late-night TV's unraveling, and horror movie escapism. Memorable personal stories from listeners and sharp barbs at political and media hypocrisy round out this rich and energetic episode.
Rob Carson keeps the conversation moving with quick wit, sarcasm, and a populist, common-sense tone: irreverent for political hypocrisy, sentimental and patriotic when discussing American history, and warm with engaged listeners. Christian Toto provides dry media analysis and shares in the banter, matching Rob’s skepticism toward media elites.
