Main Theme & Purpose

This episode delivers Rob Carson’s trademark satirical yet pointed analysis of current political events, centered squarely on two dramatic stories: alleged election wrongdoing in Fulton County, Georgia, and the evolving roles of Donald Trump and Tulsi Gabbard in addressing claims of electoral manipulation. Carson explores accusations about the 2020 election, recent FBI action in Georgia, cultural shifts among conservative and Black voters, and commentary on the politicization of media and pop culture. The latter half features a lighter discussion with Christian Toto on the passing of Catherine O’Hara, the entertainment industry’s biases, and upcoming music and film events.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

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.

[Rob Carson]

By the grace of God, it is finally Friday, the final hour of the show. Today. I want to mention that my TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World and it is on Sunday nights on Newsmax at 8:30 exactly where you'd expect a comedy show to be. It's actually after Michael Savage's show, Dr. Michael Savage. You know Dr. Michael Savage, he loves my show. He, he was on my radio program a couple years ago. He's not been on radio at all. He left radio and he chose my show to return to radio a couple years ago and he is a big fan of my show. So it's called Rob Carson's what in the World. It's on Newsmax and it's on Sunday night at 8:30. Set your DVR if you get a chance. I'll tell you we're making some changes to it again. I'm building this new set to get my desk put up here and then we'll be doing some cosmetic changes, hopefully adding some guests, man on the street kind of stuff, getting some younger influencers on the show and really doing some cool stuff. But it is, I'm hitting my strides as a, as a comedian and as a comedy writer. I am, I am, after many years, I got discovered by Chris Roddy six years ago. So my career really started six years ago after 30 years in broadcasting. So, anyway, just watch. It's called Rob Carson's what in the World On Newsmax. On Newsmax. This has been kind of making the, the, the rounds on social media. You know what, we went through the last four years together, let alone the last decade with the left attacking Donald Trump, Russia collusion. Now, Tulsi Gabbard has made criminal referrals with regard to Russia collusion. It goes all the way to the top of Barack Obama involved in creating the Russia collusion hoax to effectively do a coup of Donald Trump. Distract from Hillary Clinton's abject corruption as she presided over the Uranium One deal as the Secretary of State and then got $150 million from the investors in Uranium One. You didn't know that? Yeah, you do now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she did. There were these investors who, who were shareholders, shareholders in the company who suddenly enriched her and old Willie with hundreds of millions of dollars into their bogus charity, their Clinton Global Initiative. And then they created Russia collusion. Distract from all of that. But anyway, this has been kind of making the rounds. I wanted to hear a little bit of this before we dive into what's happening in Fulton County.

[Dilly Meme Team Member]

Do you remember what it was like when the 2020 election and stolen. Do you remember all the bull stories people told you about how the fraudulent election would be overturned? Do you remember the symbols of tyranny when fences went up around D.C. for Joe Biden's inauguration?

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Dilly Meme Team Member]

Do you remember watching fuel and food prices skyrocket in a matter of months? Do you remember watching our borders being invaded by a virtual army of unidentified criminals? Do you remember watching our nation get systematically destroyed for four years by the Joe Biden auto pen administration? Do you remember longing for the days of winning when we had Donald Trump in the White House? Do you remember thinking he was going to die when the bullet aimed at his brain only grazed his ear? Do you remember rejoicing after witnessing the miracle that saved his life? Do you remember celebrating the epic landslide victory in November of 2024? This is what you hoped for. This is what you prayed for. This is what you voted for. So why are you questioning every decision he makes now that he's back in office? God didn't save his life so he could make mistakes. He knows what he's doing. Maybe it's time to shut the up and let him cook. This has been a public service announcement paid for by the Dilly Meme team.

[Rob Carson]

Dilly mean. There you go. I, I love that. I love that. And I will never forget you. And I never forgot. After 2020 happened, they thought it would just disappear into the ether. And now the left is completely freaking about out about the. The warehouse full of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia that has been raided by the FBI. They're going nuts. I mentioned this.

[Fulton County Official]

I know what's going on. I'm going to give you the truth about what's happening. So they served a warrant, the FBI, this is Trump serving a warrant to go pick up the 2020 ballots which are in a secure location inside of here, 700 boxes. The first warrant that they gave was incorrect legally. Like they didn't follow.

[Rob Carson]

If the election had been and everything and it was legit and all that, that you shouldn't be concerned about it. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? They can't, they can't change the election results to overturn the election at this point. Why are you so scared? Right.

[Fulton County Official]

Procedure. They went back and they fixed it and they came back and now they are actually collecting the boxes. They are in the command, the chain of command in Fulton County.

[Rob Carson]

They're trying to make it like it's going to be intimidating for people who want to vote. Like the changes they made it to ensure election integrity in. In the state of Georgia. And the Democrats called it Jim Crow 2.0 and it winded up actually increasing the number of black voters.

[Fulton County Official]

Once they are archived, they become the possession of the clerk of Superior Court, which is Shea Alexander. She is here and she is with them inventorying everything that they're taking. We, the commissioners, the chairman, the county attorney, are trying to figure out a legal plan as to maybe an injunction.

[Rob Carson]

A motion to why. Why you can't overturn the election. They're just going to show the results. And if you said they've been already come through, then why do care.

[Fulton County Official]

We don't know yet. We're trying to figure it out. We're getting all kinds.

[Rob Carson]

Why do you get. You're talking even faster the more you go.

[Fulton County Official]

Legal advice to stop this. Because once they have the ballots, how do we then turn around and do something different when they've already got their hands on it? So this is an attempt to take your vote away. This is all about November 2026.

[Rob Carson]

About. Oh, oh, so it's about November 2026, the election in 2020 that was already forgotten and settled in. All of that is suddenly relevant. It's going to affect 2026, primary on.

[Fulton County Official]

May 19, and then the November election. He does not want them.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Wow. I had mentioned earlier with Tony Kennett that she kind of reminds me of Wayne Knight in Jurassic park when he was about ready to steal the dinosaur embryos and he was really nervous. I'm going up the machine. I thought maybe, you know, I get somebody something sweets, and I think I'm going to get something salty. I thought maybe some. Yeah, yeah. You know what? All you got. Here's the deal. If it was free and fair in the whole deal, you got nothing to worry about.

[Mike Davis]

What did they have to hide? Yeah, it's amazing that 2020 was an anomaly. And Democrats squeaked by Joe Biden, who couldn't get out of his. His home and couldn't fill his Covid circles. And 20.

[Rob Carson]

And then after he became the president, immediately afterwards, he did these live broadcasts on. On YouTube and he couldn't get a thousand people to watch, so they stopped doing them.

[Mike Davis]

20.

[Rob Carson]

He just got 88 million votes.

[Mike Davis]

Somehow squeaked by belongs on Mount Rushmore in Georgia.

[Rob Carson]

Rushmore on.

[Mike Davis]

And you know, they now they don't want to turn over the evidence. And they say, you know, it's voter intimidation. How the hell is it voter intimidation to turn over ballots from 2020 that aren't tied to the voters they. They are decoupled from the voter registration.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, there you go. That's Mike Davis, Director of National Intelligence. Tulsi Gabbard was present at the FBI search. You know why? Because she's there in case there was foreign interference. And you know, the voting machines that were used in that election, they were from a company in Venezuela. Isn't it kind of weird that Donald Trump got Maduro? Do you suppose that he knows anything about that? Gabbard, the nation's top spy chief, has spent months investigating the results of the 2020 presidential election led her to an FBI search of the Election center in Fulton, Georgia. FBI agents on records related to the 2020 presidential election, the warrant authorizing officials to search their physical ballots, voter rolls from that year, ballot images created by scanning ballots, fabulous fabulator, fabulous tabulator tapes from every voting machine in the county. Investigation of possible violations of federal law against destroying election records, and another statute dealing with the submission of fraudulent votes, among other things. Federal law assigns DNI Gabbard and her office the responsibility to lead counterintelligence matters regarding election Security, which includes assessing the potential risks of election voting systems, voter registration, and foreign interference. Foreign interference? Specifically, 50 USC 337 authorized DNI to designate an overseas national Counterintelligence officer within the National Counterintelligence and Security center to lead, manage, and coordinate counterintelligence matters related to election security. In other words, she. She has every right to do it. And if you're so worried about it, I mean, honestly, if you. If you. If you're convinced everything was absolutely cool, why are you afraid of it? Why are you afraid of it? Generally means you're trying to cover something up. Here's Jim Gossett as the president on the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

They're gonna find election fraud down in Fulton county. Looking at 2020 when the steal took place, nothing happened. Just letting the hide after it is proven. Bonnie Willis will look stupid.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, she'll look good in orange, though.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

Brian Kemp and Ratzenberg will not show their face.

[Rob Carson]

Come on, Jim.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

That water made break. Yes, it was a total fake. Suitcases with ballots everywhere. Kemp was so weak, he went and turned the other cheek about the fraud. He didn't seem to care.

[Rob Carson]

No, didn't care at all.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

Democrats aren't known for playing fair.

[Rob Carson]

What you talking about?

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

Will they find election fraud down in Fulton County?

[Rob Carson]

We will see. We will see. But you just look at everything that happened and including the lead up to the election. They were would tell you that there wasn't going to be any fraud. If you question any fraud. There was never any election fraud and all that. And then of course, after the night where they stopped all the vote counting simultaneously the same time said that in Georgia that there was a water main break. There was no water main break. Honestly, if you were on the other side, if you're on the receiving end of that, don't you suppose you'd be mad about it? And we've had to swallow this for six fricking years. We've had to sit here and have people tell us that everything was fair and everything was done up and up. On top of that, we couldn't even have an opinion about it. We couldn't have an opinion about it. And then it segued into, you can't have an opinion on Covid. You can't have an opinion on Hunter Biden's laptop. You can't have an opinion on Joe Biden's mental state. You cannot have an opinion on the border. You can have. They took it on. They called it all disinformation and misinformation and tell me if you were on the receiving end of that and it was your opinions that were being shut down, don't you suppose you'd still be mad about it? Well, welcome to the party, people. This is the retribution. This is the accountability that we have waited for, that has been in the back of our minds every single day, focused, determined that someday we would be delivered and we would be shown the truth and this would be exposed. From this to Russia, collusion, all the going up to Barack Obama, all of the horrible things that the Deep State did to our president and us. Payback is finally here. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson (Intro/Outro)]

Fasten your seatbelt. Deep State. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. It's the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. This was censored. Let me say it.

[Christian Toto]

The 2020 election was the most secure.

[Rob Carson]

Election in American history. Let me begin by asking a very simple question.

[Christian Toto]

Do we know the truth about what really happened in the 2020 election?

[Rob Carson]

I think millions of Americans know something went wrong.

[Christian Toto]

They have little pieces and no one's.

[Rob Carson]

Really put it together. I'm agnostic on this question and I am awaiting more information. If I believed the president were a Nazi, I might steal an election.

[Christian Toto]

Bold accusations require bold evidence. And they haven't seen it. We have been working on something big.

[Rob Carson]

Show me the money.

[Christian Toto]

Can we meet? I've been working with Greg Phillips. He has a deep background in election intelligence.

[Rob Carson]

True. The Vote has the largest store of election intelligence for the 2020 elections. One of the most censored movies of all time. 2000 mules, Dinesh D'. Souza. Everything was censored about the 2020 election. You couldn't have an opinion on it. You couldn't say that maybe the elections aren't fair in this country. Remember that. If you were on the receiving end of that, don't you think you would wonder? Don't you think you would question? Don't you think you would go, huh? Why did they stop the voting? Counting the night of the election when Donald Trump was way out in front, and then all of a sudden millions of votes show up or night? I mean, honestly, it's not out of the question to question, right? But we couldn't. And that was what was so bloody, stinking, frustrating, humiliating. And we had to eat it. We had to eat it for years. We had to eat it on Joe Biden's dementia. We had to eat it on the Southern border screaming, the damn border is wide open and people are dying. All of this. That's why Donald Trump is the President of the United States. And he is also the only man who could have survived and made it there. And now we want accountability. Kevin in Clinton, Maryland wants to comment about this. Kevin, welcome to the Rob Carson Show.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Hey, Rob. First of all, shout out to my rumble family.

[Rob Carson]

Oh.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Second, and secondly, Rob, yes, we, we are now seeing a level of accountability with these, with these election votes. The 2020 election. Don Lemon being reputed today. Could you imagine if this was any other? And Donald Trump is not a Republican, he is a conservative.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. First of all, yeah. Yes, yes, yes.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Second of all, none of these bushy league Republicans would have ever went this far. This is why this man is president again. Because conservatives got tired of getting punched in the face and told, could we have another. Republicans love doing that. Conservatives do not.

[Rob Carson]

Kevin, you know, you know as well as I do, tell me, give me, you know, you're a conservative. You know how hard it has been the last 10 years, let alone the last six. It's been agonizing. But, but, hasn't it? But, but with Donald Trump and the pursuit of Donald Trump and our censorship and all that, I mean, it's been brutal. That's why we got so focused. That's why we were so focused. That's why Donald Trump won 99 counties in Iowa. That's why Donald Trump. There was no sense in having a primary because he was, he was going to be the candidate, right?

[Kevin (Caller)]

That is absolutely correct. He was going to be the candidate no matter what, Rob. Because like I said, conservatives got tired of being told by Bush league Republicans that we had to allow Democrats to punch them in the face and ask for another. This man is not weak as me and my friends say, and we are conservatives of color. This man is a bare knuckle brawler in the streets of Brooklyn.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, sir.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Kenneth Port, Maine, Kennebunkport. He's not Susan Collins and he's not the turtle.

[Rob Carson]

You know what's remarkable, Kevin, and I'm very familiar with, you know, the inner city, particularly inner city black community, but the Democrat Party has been abusive of the black people relying on their votes for decades. And they're finally wise to it and realizing that Donald Trump is a, he's an alpha male, he's a strong man, he's a righteous man. And also, I think there's also a spiritual element to this moment in history. Do you believe that?

[Kevin (Caller)]

Most definitely, Rob. This is change being affected, not Talking about change, not giving you false hope or any of those other platitudes and slogans. This is real change going on within multiple communities in America.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. You know earlier this week when Donald Trump said he's going to put away $1,000 for every kid in America, did he say no black kids? Maybe I missed that because I heard he was a racist and a Nazi.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Oh, yeah, of course. And you know, the NAACP used to give this man awards. I mean, I have pictures of him with Rose.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know, I know, I know. Well, you know what this is about. And I got to tell you, and I appreciate your phone call today, Kevin.

[Mike Davis]

No problem.

[Rob Carson]

But don't you feel like there is a spiritual awaken as far as. And also just this? I think this movement is a godly movement. I think it is the reaction to the action of evil. And look at all the evil that's being uncovered. All of the corruption, all of the graft, all of the nonsense, all of the deep state going after conservatives and Donald Trump. Don't you just feel like. I just think 2026 is going to be the best year that we've had on this planet, brother.

[Kevin (Caller)]

I believe that because guess what? God bless america. And we're 250 years old. You're talking to a former Navy veteran.

[Rob Carson]

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate that. I appreciate it. Have a good. Have a good weekend. Have a good weekend. We're going to do something. We're working on something. Now. Nothing has been settled. I got a couple things going on this year. One thing is for sure. WCBMR anchor station in Baltimore. We're going to depart with luxury Koches in, in June. Can't tell you the date yet. And go to Gettysburg. Spend the day at Gettysburg, tour the battlefields, have lunch. The whole deal is going to be amazed. Then we're working on another trip with you guys anywhere in the country. And we're trying to decide where we're going to go. We don't even know. But I have suggested coming here to Washington D.C. because it's a 250th anniversary and having you guys, if you ever wanted to come into D.C. to come and spend a few days with me in Washington D.C. tour the monuments, go to the, you know, wherever the White House go, whatever, go all of the monuments, all of that, experience it all because I've lived here many, many years. And then maybe do the show live with you in the audience. How cool would that be? I'm just working on it. I'm working on it. We'll see what happens. A trip's gonna happen. I suggested D.C. would be a great place to do it. So we need to, we need, you and I, we need to be together this year. We are together in the ether. You hear my voice. I see you. I hear you. Now maybe it's our opportunity to get together and celebrate. Cause we've been through a lot of crap. All right, let's take a break and come back. Another one of our unusual suspects. Christian Toto Hollywoodton Toto on the other side of the break. Don't go anywhere. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I'd been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years. Finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words. And it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 800 for relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? And it's the Rob Carson show, Friday edition. One of our unusual suspects, the great Christian Toto from Hollywood in toto on the Newsmax hotline. Breaking news today, obviously the passing of Catherine o', Hara, one of my like, comedic heroes. I've got several of them. You know, I write comedy. One of the things that I do, Christian. And man, she was just remarkable. I remember her doing SCTV with Eugene Levy. That's where they started. And then it's just been non stop ever since, hasn't it?

[Christian Toto]

Non stop. Year after year, decade after decade, giving great performances. And obviously Schitt's Creek is already a kind of a modern classic.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, my God.

[Christian Toto]

I mean, you know, it's, she's one of those very rare performers who is, who was, you know, just had endless talent, was beloved, didn't insult audiences, delivered in different ways for different generations. I mean, you could point to Home Alone and you could point to sctv. You know, I believe she's on the studio as well.

[Rob Carson]

Best, best in show. Best in show is as good as Spinal Tap. A Different. Different kind of feeling to it, but phenomenal.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, some. Some, you know, celebrities when they are sick. I don't know exactly. I've heard rumors. I don't want to repeat what. What you may have because we don't know you for sure. But, you know, maybe they. They, you know, keep it quiet and they have a private life, and I certainly respect that completely. But just an absolute gut punch. What a wonderful. What a wonderful performer.

[Rob Carson]

Well, she was only 71 years old. It's just. I don't know. I'm really, really sad. I'm really, really sad, you know, because there are great comedic actors and, you know, a lot of times, like, one of my heroes was Steve Martin from when I was a little kid. He's listening to his records. But. But Catherine o' Hara was like Madeline Kahn. Madeleine Kahn was. She's Madeline Khan, dude. She might even be better than Madeline Khan. Madeline Khan was a. I mean, unbelievable. Gilda Radner, phenomenal. Died too soon. Catherine o' Hara is right up there. He may be eclipsing both of them.

[Christian Toto]

I would say Eclipse, but also they had, you know, she had much more time and, you know, listen, she's 71. I wish she had lived 91, but, you know, those artists died really shockingly soon. But singular talents, all of them, and she leaves a body of work which will stand the test of time. You know, it's the great performers. They're not just of the moment, and they didn't just ride the zeitgeist or, you know, I'm gonna pick a little bit on Pauly Shore, but Pauly Shore's comedy is not going to go down as a legendary.

[Kevin (Caller)]

He's the polymer fabric.

[Christian Toto]

Listen, he is what he is. He made us laugh. He's a goofy guy. I have no problem with Pauly Shore. But, you know, there are certain talents that just transcend. Catherine o'. Hara. Transcends.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, if you look at like. Like Steve Martin. Steve Martin, now he's doing a murder in the building. Okay? It's pretty good. It's pretty good show. But he has done everything. He has done everything. And he's even like a bluegrass singer. He's a banjo player. He's. He's in all of this. All of the. All the goofy movies, the good movies from LA Story to. To. You know what? So if you can do this, if you can do comedy this long and comic acting this long, it's rare air, brother. That is rare air.

[Christian Toto]

You're right. And I think comedy. Comedy lands Differently in many levels. It's often tied to what the cultural moment might be. You know, a drama is a drama and you could watch it any decade. Certain things will be dated, but, you know, the core of it remains intact. It's the human condition. But comedy can rely on what's, what's in vogue at the moment. Maybe pop culture references. There's so many variables. Sometimes comedy just doesn't age well.

[Rob Carson]

I was watching, I was watching that. I was watching Mel Brooks History of the World last night. And it's a very funny movie, but it's also very sticky. And some people will be like, okay, you know, it's a little, it's a little bit, you know, same way with the, the Star wars parody that he did. But, but, but Blazing Saddles is evergreen. Yeah. Blazing Saddles is still as funny as it ever was.

[Christian Toto]

Some of his work, it is hit or miss. Although the hits are, yeah, incredible. But yeah, no, it's a great point.

[Rob Carson]

Unbelievable. Here's something kind of interesting and I was thinking about this the other day, and this is a chick flick supreme, but it's also, it's also the, the movie of a generation. Dirty Dancing. Dirty Dancing, Chick flick. Certainly I was, I think, in high school when the movie came out. It was a cultural phenomenon. I've had the time of my life, a massive hit that I played a hundred thousand times on the radio and I never want to hear it again. But it was, it was a generational movie and it also transcends to different generations. Now Jennifer Gray is talking about Dirty Dancing too. Like Top Gun 240, 45 years later. I don't know, man. I don't know.

[Christian Toto]

It's. It's unbelievable. It's almost cartoonish how they're trying to extend these ips, which don't need to be extended. We've had at least two Dirty Dancing sequels or remakes or prequels or something or others, and no one cares. Listen, no, no, no insult to Jennifer Grey, but it's a two star, it's a two hander. It's two characters who are integral to that movie. And it's so sad we lost Patrick Swayze so soon, but what are they going to possibly do? Is she going to be the mother and then her daughter?

[Rob Carson]

She's got to be there. She's got to be in a Jewish summer camp and she's going to be there with her daughter and she's going to be with a biker and she's not going to like it.

[Christian Toto]

Not one bit. I know when I'M I did the wrong thing, but I've learned and I need to listen. Anything could happen. It could be a good movie, but it just. It just reeks of flop sweat.

[Rob Carson]

That's why I can say, no, no, no, no, no. It just. And, you know, listen, I thought Top Gun was okay, but that you couldn't even say the guys, the bad guys in the dark planes were Iranian. I thought that was kind of stupid. We're just like, oh, just some guys who might have a nuke. I mean, that was just stupid. That was just dumb. That's the only thing about that movie I really thought was stupid. Ridiculously stupid.

[Christian Toto]

You know, it's a beloved movie.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I know, but not the new one. Melania. Have you seen Melania?

[Christian Toto]

No, I actually requested a screening link. They did not give it to me. Don't they know who I am?

[Rob Carson]

Well, I wanted to go to the Trump Kennedy center and I didn't get invited on the red carpet. What the hell? Hell's wrong with you people? You don't know who I am?

[Christian Toto]

I'm. They're missing out on two big stars here, so I blame them.

[Rob Carson]

Now, did you hear what happened in the Los Angeles Metro? The buses that had the ads for Melania have been parked. They say they've been parking the buses so people will not see the bill. The bus boards now, the. The Metro, you know, the Metro, whatever transportation company in. In LA says it's because they've been being vandalized. Others are saying, nah, they just are blocking the. The ads from being seen. Have you heard anything about this?

[Christian Toto]

I haven't. I suspect it could even be both. But I will say this, and I'm actually staring at my computer screen right now. I checked the Rotten Tomatoes site for Melania to see, you know, the reviews. I mean, I'm sure going to get lots of great reviews from my fellow film critics. Two things of note. One is on the main page for Rotten Tomatoes, they don't show Melania. There's a whole carousel of movies opening this week. I've checked yesterday. I just checked. Now you don't see it. So hiding it. Two, there's a critic here, he's given it a negative review. There's the little splat symbol here. And I clicked on his website to read the full review. And what does he say? He says, full disclosure, this is the very top. I will never watch Melania. So here's a film critic who gave it a negative review, posted [e-mail] and admits he never Saw the movie. What an a hole.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, honestly. But what the hell?

[Christian Toto]

He's wildly unprofessional.

[Rob Carson]

I. I can't even believe it. You know, this is the kind of nonsense that is just. And this is why, you know, I used to be a fan of Rotten Tomatoes. I went to Rotten Tomato. It was my go to. It gave me an idea. But I'm just kind of. I'm kind of done with it. I'm kind of done with it. This, this really does it. This is just ridiculous. This is absurd.

[Christian Toto]

I don't. I belong to Rotten Tomatoes. Like they post my reviews. But I have to say, I don't blame the site. I blame the critics. I mean, if critics are, you know, judging things so harshly based on ideology. Listen, if Michelle Obama comes out with a movie and she actually did a couple years ago called Becoming, I did not see it. But if I watched it, I thought, you know what? This is interesting. And it kept my attention. It's got some interesting things to say about her life, even though I disagree with her on everything.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Christian Toto]

I wouldn't give it a bad review because I'm a professional and you've got to be honest and open and authentic. And if you're saying I will never even watch the movie, well, you're okay. But you're a film critic and you can't review it honestly.

[Rob Carson]

Just, that's just, that's. That's just why even do it? Why even be. Why even do what you do for a living? You're gonna do something like that. What an asinine thing to do. I wanted to keep you through the break because I want to find out if there's anything worth watching. Then also I want to mention Grammys real quick. I love music. I'm not going to watch the show, but I love music. Want to touch on that? On the other side of the break, Hollywoodintoto.com seriously, check out Hollywoodintoto.com he actually sees movies and does reviews before he does that he sees them. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Ray, if you haven't heard this before, get ready for it because it's freaking amazing. Oh, my goodness. That is Ray. Now. I think she was a little bit late on the 2026 Grammy nominees, but she came out of nowhere and is just mind blow. You've heard of her, Christian Toto. Have you heard of Ray?

[Christian Toto]

I haven't. I am really bad with modern music. I am slip sliding away.

[Rob Carson]

So that's okay. That's okay. We'll talk about Scott Joplin next, next week or something like that. No, Ray is. Ray is really amazing. Ray is like she meets Amy Winehouse meets Beyonce meets Dusty Springfield meets friggin brilliant. I'm not gonna watch the Grammys this year. I wanted to bring it up because there is. There is a lot of good music being made and there are some artists who are kind of looking like complete idiots. Bruce Springsteen wrote a stupid song about Minneapolis shooting his mouth off before the facts were in on the death of two people who confronted ICE officers. Did you see that song? It's called Streets of Minneapolis as opposed to Streets of Philadelphia. He did when the movie Philadelphia with Tom Hanks came out in the early 90s.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, listen, I mean, what can we say about Springsteen at this point? He's so disappointing on so many levels. I didn't hear the song, I read the lyrics. I mean, it's terrifying. And you know, it's like he wrote it in a rush. And you know what's sad is these artists are just living in a bubble. It's a silo. They just don't get any outside information and they don't realize that they're insulting ICE agents, many of whom are people of color, many of whom are not, are being harassed and attacked. Wasn't there an agent who got a finger bit off or part of a finger?

[Rob Carson]

Joanne got his finger bit off last week.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. National news. Or did they ignore that completely?

[Rob Carson]

You know, I was thinking about this earlier, Green Day, and I mentioned this to Ton Kenned. Earlier, Green Day did an album called American Idiot when George Bush was the president. I disagreed with their premises, although I changed my mind a lot on George Bush. Don't trust me on this one. But it was actually a great record. He was a really American idiot. It was really good. This is just reaching, grasping at straws that said I want to move on to Bad Bunny and Green Day. You know, you got Green Day opening the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny halftime. I wonder if this is the year that politics really impacts the super bowl viewership in a negative fashion.

[Christian Toto]

It's a great question. I don't know. I mean, listen, even if Green Day was MAGA all the way, I wouldn't want them to come on stage in the super bowl and wear a red hat. It's just not appropriate. It just. I mean, we're just so bludgeoned by politics in every possible point of our lives. We just need a break. So if I want, you know, if Bad Bunny wants to go sing a Song.

[Mike Davis]

Let him.

[Christian Toto]

You know, the numbers are there. He's a big performer. I don't care. You know, he was threatened to wear a dress. Now he's not. You know, just entertain us and you know what? Unite us. Because the super bowl is like the last thing that we can all watch and all agree on and all enjoy and not fight over. Can't we keep that?

[Rob Carson]

I think this is. This would be the year. This would be the year that, you know, like Whitney Houston, they just celebrated the 35th anniversary of her singing the national anthem. And everybody just wept. It was the most beautiful thing you've seen. And we are seeing those kind of performances happening all over the NFL. And this would be the year to have somebody like Chris Stapleton or somebody just come in and just do something that earth shattering and will. You will never forget. And then they put Green Day at the beginning of the show. I don't know. I don't know if I'm even gonna watch. I mean. And I'm not boycotting. I'm not demanding a boycott. I just. I don't really. I'm not really interested. I'm just not interested, really. And they're talking about a TPUSA halftime. You can watch a tpsu. I don't know about this. I'm not sure. Yeah, they haven't offered. They haven't offered a lineup. I don't even know.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, and I get why that exists, and I just don't want it to exist. No offense on TP usa, but I just want to live in a world we just all come together and be nice doing things and, you know, and stop fighting.

[Rob Carson]

Listen to Ray. She's not political. Listen to where the Hell Is My Husband? It's a great damn song. Anything good worth watching this weekend? I noticed you didn't say, hey, Rob. I watched an episode of Plurbish Us. I noticed we avoided that. I've been bugging you about watching it forever. I finished. I finished the first season. Holy hell. It's so good. It's good. It's good.

[Christian Toto]

All right, I'm gonna change the subject.

[Kevin (Caller)]

Because I'm so busy watching so many.

[Christian Toto]

Movies and really good movies in theaters this weekend.

[Rob Carson]

What? What? What?

[Christian Toto]

It's called Send Help. It's Sam Raimi who did the Evil Dead movies. He's a fun, interesting, wacky director. That two people who are stranded on a desert island, the boss of a company and his underling. He is always dismissing her. But you know what? She's a Survivor fan and she knows how to, you know, make a fire and survive and catch fish and he doesn't. And that dynamic shift. It is incredibly entertaining. It is fun. Glory at times, you know, Sam Raimi.

[Rob Carson]

Is a little wacky. Oh yes. Oh yes.

[Christian Toto]

You have to expect that. But good storytelling, let me tell you. Dylan O' Brien is a very underrated actor but boy, Rachel McAdams just hits it out of the park as this now see woman who blossoms when she's on this island.

[Rob Carson]

So it's and she, oh, I love this island because he's such an a hole. And. And they land on the island. I've seen the trailers for this. Good to know because I really wanted and Raimi is one of my favorites. Bruce Campbell is one of my all time favorite actors of all. I mean just phenomenal. Does he make a cameo anywhere? Is he a pilot or anything?

[Christian Toto]

You gotta keep your eyes open. He appears in a certain way early in the film. It's very funny, really.

[Rob Carson]

All right, good. That's what, that's we're ending things on a high note. Christian Toto, thanks for joining me, man. Where can people check out your podcast of your work, my friend?

[Christian Toto]

Podcast is on iTunes, YouTube and Spotify and the website is Hollywood in I n toto.

[Rob Carson]

Like the dog.com I'm going to go see Send help. Thanks man. I appreciate you have a good week. We'll talk next week. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. All right. It is the Rob Carson Show. Last break today, if you get a chance to watch my TV show, it's called Rob Carson's what in the World. Sunday night, it's a half hour. I'm hoping we can be able to make it bigger. But anyway, it's Sunday night at 8:30 on Newsmax TV. Newsmax, you should watch Newsmax. We got a lot of comments on the, on the chat online today about all the people. Then people say I watch this, I watch, I watch, you know, Higby. And then I, I tune out of the View. I don't like or not the View, but I tune out of the five, you know, whatever. And I tune back in for Rob Finnerty, I tune in for Carl Higby and all that. It really is a wonderful place to work. And they're growing by leaps and bounds around the world. Newsmax is spreading around the world like freedom is spreading around the world. And I got on board Newsmax six years ago. I'm one of their, you know, one of the guys who've been there for A number of years and I feel really blessed to be a part of it. And Chris Ruddy runs a great company and I'm really proud to be here in Washington D.C. with Newsmax. So if you get a chance to check out Newsmax on cable, get a Newsmax plus membership. That's why I listen to Newsmax when I'm in in my truck. Newsmax plus membership. It's really awesome. It's really cool. I also watch Newsmax on YouTube TV at night as well. New Epstein files really show Bill Gates caught an STD from a Russian girl. He's such a nice guy. Tidal wave of new taxes in Virginia. I did a video on on social media today with regard to this. There's a crazy Karen named Abigail Spamberger and she was elected in Virginia. She lied to become elected and she pretended to be somebod else and now she is the the governor. And I suggested online today that when you when, when a party establishes a platform to run on, they have a convention, they meet, they decide what they're going to run on. They presented the public and the public votes on it. The Democrat Party did not do that this time. They did not. They ran on something else and they bait and switched and this cannot be legal. This cannot be legal. This has to be challenged. And she is a bat guano crazy nut bag cat lady from hell. They're talking about getting rid of all this green energy bullcrap. You know, they're talking about raising tax to 13% for just the state tax. They're talking about getting rid of your leaf blowers, all the green energy nonsense, you know, all sorts of gun restrictions that are absolutely unconstitutional. Stealing elections. Also, you know, quantifying election theft, allowing NGOs to get millions and millions and billions of money for char and not ever be scrutinized for their expenses like in Minnesota. It's sick. She lied. She lied. The reason why the Communist Party is not in charge is because they present who they are and then you vote on it and they say no, the Democrat Party is the Communist Party in Virginia and they lied about who they are. It cannot be legal. It cannot stand. That's it. Watch my show Sunday night on Newsmax. God bless you. America's founded Donald Trump as he continues to kick button till Monday. Do not catch the stupid. God bless you guys. I love you. I'll see you then.
