[Show Announcer]

in America on air and on the World Wide Web.

[Rob Carson]

This is the Rob Carson show, and by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please get some. Come inside the last hour of the show, right? And Christian Toto is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. For those of you who watch me streaming occasionally, I will look, I guess to the right. If you're looking at the monitor, I have my audio board over here. I need to move it because I run all my own audio. Yeah, I know, I know. It's kind of like a Ray Charles playing the piano and singing or Stevie Wonder or something. Anyway, by the way, my TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World. And I've been doing it for a number of years on Newsmax. Six years on Newsmax and Donald Trump says it makes me the funniest guy on television. Dr. Michael Savage came back to radio on this show only one time a couple years ago because he loves my TV show so much. Okay, so it runs on the weekends on Newsmax. It's Sunday night, 8:30, which is exactly where you'd expect to find the comedy show. And then I believe there's a good chance it's running again on Saturday at three in the afternoon. So just go to newsmaxtv.com if you want details. Download the Newsmax app. Get a Newsmax plus membership. But Newsmax is pretty darn amazing. Pretty darned amazing. Senate agrees to fund the tsa Most of DHS but not ice. As an earlier headline today, it sounds like they're going to be passing a deal to pay the tsa. And like the last time they had a bunch of people on furlough because the Democrats shut down the government, tried to destroy Donald Trump's economy in the fourth quarter, succeeded by the way, in C, blocking the GDP of the country because that's the way the Democrats are. I would recommend that the TSA workers get a minimum $5,000 bonus. I'm not kidding. Maybe $10,000 bonus to cover all the late fees and all the nonsense and all the suffering they went through. They should get a bonus, not just back pay. Not just back pay. 5 or $10,000 per employee for the nonsense that the Democrat Party put us through. Trump slam Schumer takes unilateral action to pay TS officers. Had this go. And by the way, he announced he had instructed the Department of Homeland Security to pay the TSA agents. Trump said he will sign an executive order. Need be Mark Wade Mullen is now the the DHS and in charge of dhs and he would be in charge of executing the order. So there you go. It is just honestly, the Democrat Party is not a force for good at all. Not a force for good at all. Steve Scalise was talking yesterday on Capitol Hill about Hakeem Jeffries. All of a sudden Hakeem Jeffries thinks the, the DHS is bad and, and TSA is bad. I think this is an important quote that everybody should listen to right now. This is Akeem Jeffries and I quote, we are here today to do a single job and that should be to fund fully the Department of Homeland Security. Yeah. And he said that, actually said that in 2015 B.C. the Democrats, if it weren't for double standards, would have no standards at all. Chris Plant came up with that.

[Guest or Caller]

By the way, I thank the distinguished gentlelady from New York. We are here today to do a single job and that should be to fund fully the Department of Homeland Security. Anything else is an abdication of our responsibility.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, honestly, they do the same thing. And listen, it's like they don't know that the dang Internet exists, that they can be shown to be such unbelievable hypocrites. And they were trying to go after Donald Trump, by the way. Donald Trump because he did a mail in ballot. Donald Trump did a mail in ballot. Donald Trump is not saying that we need to get rid of mail in ballots. There should be exceptions for people who can't, who are infirmed, military members who are not in the country, et cetera. But yesterday they thought they had a gotcha question. Donald Trump actually voted by mail.

[Donald Trump (Impersonation or Quoted)]

Tell me about mail in ballots. You mean I used a mail in ballot? You probably said yeah I did. Why did you know why?

[Show Announcer]

Because I'm President of the United States.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, you can do the mic drop right there because I'm the freaking President. How's that? But he went further and because of

[Donald Trump (Impersonation or Quoted)]

the fact that I'm President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking. And I decided that I was going to vote by mail in ballot because I couldn't be there.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, he's kind of got this thing going where he's kicking Iran's rear end up between his shoulders and you know, freeing a lot of people and hitting the possibility of a threat of nuclear war and terrorism and stuff like that

[Donald Trump (Impersonation or Quoted)]

because they had a lot of different things. But you know we have exceptions for mail in ballots. You do know that. So if you're away we have an exception. If you're in the military, we have an exception. If you're on a business trip and

[Rob Carson]

if you're the freakin president, you got an exception. An exception if, I mean, listen, Joe Biden went to the beach and the auto pin did all of his work for him. Okay, that's like nothing compared to this.

[Donald Trump (Impersonation or Quoted)]

Disabled, we have an exception. And if you're ill, this is nothing compared to that if you're not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington D.C. so I used a mail in bell. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know. It was so well meaning.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, it was so well meaning. So well meaning. Yeah, it was really well meaning. Dear Lord, you know, I like to have this thing, you know, I said that Joe Biden had the reverse Midas touch. Do you remember when I said that? Those of you who are new radio listeners or viewers or viewers on the stream, you may not know this because we have new viewers and listeners every day. I know, it's crazy, right? It's crazy but, but I said that Joe Biden had the reverse Midas touch rather than everything you touch turns to gold. Everything that he touched turned to crap. And we came up with crap touch. Crap touch? Yeah, Crap touch. Here's one of the things that the Biden administration turned to crap. That is certifying truck drivers at truck driving schools. Pete Booty gig when he was the transportation secretary and he's transphobic because he was afraid of transportation. He decided that anybody could get a truck driving license and anybody could open a truck driving school, maybe a truck leering center.

[Guest or Expert]

We have thousands of people who can't speak the language. Long standing rule and it's a safety issue. But if you can't understand road signs, if you can't communicate with law enforcement

[Rob Carson]

when you're pulled over, what have they allowed blind people to be truck drivers

[Guest or Expert]

and communicate what's on your rig?

[Rob Carson]

Huge. Only if they're illegal aliens.

[Guest or Expert]

Problem with the last administration, Mr. President. They let truck driving schools self certify that they were qualified to train truck.

[Rob Carson]

You know what? I'm going to. I'm going to open a daycare center. You know what? That's already been done by the Somali. I'm going to open a truck driving school. School and I'm going to self certify it.

[Guest or Caller]

Drivers.

[Guest or Expert]

And so this is like the learning center.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Guest or Expert]

You pay $800 and you get a certificate that you passed a CDL driving school. And again, they have no skills. They never.

[Rob Carson]

They don't.

[Guest or Expert]

They don't have the knowledge and they don't have the skills when you have the testing and then they get licenses and they're killing Americans on our ropes. So it's remarkable the rot that the last administration allowed to take place. We are ending that.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they made everything suck. I mean, they really did. Terrible, terrible administration. My God in heaven. And Nancy Pelosi said that Joe Biden's face belonged on Mount Rushmore. I said they should create another mountain, call it Mount Rushmore On. And then you could put Kamala Harris up there and Joe Biden up there because honestly. And Joe Biden was such a bad president. Like he was at a Philadelphia Eagles game last year and nobody even acknowledged. They didn't even put him on the Jumbotron. He's so irrelevant because he was such a terrible president. You see, that's why this news. This is kind of good. It looks like the DOJ is set to denaturalize criminal. Criminal illegal aliens. Hey, let's start with Ilhan Omar. Criminal immigrants of their citizenship.

[Advertiser/Voiceover]

David Spun has this story from Washington. Is it possible?

[Reporter or Correspondent]

Well, Dana, it is possible. And it's becoming a much more frequent event to see DOJ officials securing through courts the denaturalization of people who obtained U.S. citizenship through fraud or obtained citizenship by committing other crimes. Now we have a photo of Vladimir Volgaev, a native of Ukraine who became a U.S. citizen in 2016. Federal prosecutors this week say he concealed and misrepresented his involvement in a conspiracy to smuggle more than a thousand.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they're gonna start decriminalize or denaturalizing people. Democrats think that denaturalizing means something to do with a tremor. And you're in other regions. Not the case. No, denaturalizing is something completely different. It has nothing to do with the tremor that you buy at the store. It is. It is stripping you of your citizenship. Where that came from. I don't know where that came from, but that's. That's my fertile mind at work there. Denaturalizing means you get. You get booted from the country, even if you become natural citizen because you do not want to adhere to the population. For instance, like these people at this Philadelphia anti. Whatever protest. They have these protests going on. Oh, by the way, no Kings is making a comeback this weekend in the Baltimore area. Might be going nationwide. If you see some of these no Kings morons and you have like Spotify play ymca, open your windows and play YMCA as loud as you can as you drive them. You don't even need to yell at them or anything. Just play YMCA really loud and drive really slow. Buy them and then just wave and smile at them. That's what I'm gonna do. And I got a bullhorn by. I ordered two bullhorns for these idiots who are doing these stupid. These stupid protests. But they have this hands off Iran protest. These. These idiots. They would rather have women live in. In bondage. They would rather have the Ayatollah in charge. They would rather have terror spread around the world. And here they are yesterday in Philly. Every one of the people who participated in this protest should. The. The people who are actually from the. Should be investigated for terroristic threats. And the people who participated, who are either naturalized citizens or illegals, should be

[Protester or Interviewee]

deported until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees. Let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every US Military base that crumbles and for every US Soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer.

[Rob Carson]

For every US Soldier that return homes in a casket, we cheer. Are you listening, homeboys, hillbillies and Hebrews, they're clapping. Hamas, Hezbollah, all of this. You need to. He needs to be arrested. That is not a free speech this is terroristic, terroristic threats. And anyone at this rally who are not here legally or on a visa should be removed from the country and banned permanently.

[Protester or Interviewee]

In direct confrontation with Zionism. And they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity.

[Rob Carson]

Do you hate America? Yeah. May Hamas blow up your family. Every one of you.

[Donald Trump (Impersonation or Quoted)]

Guy.

[Rob Carson]

GTFO Honestly, out of the country. And this is why we need to win the midterms. Because when we regain both houses, or I should say increase our lead in both houses, then we spend two years gutting this country of the filth of the corruption of the terrorism that was allowed to come across the southern border. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[Show Announcer]

Fasten your seat belt deep state. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. It's the Rob Carson Show.

[Rob Carson]

Friday edition of the Rob Carson Show. You know, there's apparently no Kings rallies are coming back. These idiots. I've got actually friends on social media who are doing no Kings rallies. I'm like, you frigging morons, honestly. If anybody is not behaving like a king, it's Donald Trump. Every time there's some sort of a court order or a Supreme Court ruling against his tariffs, he abides by it. And it's a joke. It's a joke. But Jim Gossett did a little parody for us about the no Kings protest. As the President of the United States,

[Show Announcer]

Kings Rally day saw it and said, what a bunch of losers. Most of them are unemployed.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, they are.

[Show Announcer]

And also boozers.

[Rob Carson]

I'm thinking they do weed. I think it's more weed, actually.

[Show Announcer]

These protesters are so crazy. Not to mention they are very lazy. No Kings rally Day dead beats with a criminal history. The fact that they don't have a job is really not much of a mystery.

[Rob Carson]

They're all the same people and they just Change their signs.

[Show Announcer]

7 million. There's no way. Crowd size exaggerated.

[Rob Carson]

Big time. And other size exaggerated.

[Show Announcer]

Most of them were elderly and heavily medicated.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. So that is Jim Gossett, if you want to help him out. Patreon.com Jim Gosset Comedy. Will Kane did a. A little. A little piece on this. He's got a pretty good show about who's funding these protests. And I want to see Neville Singham extradited. I'm sure he won't be from China, but Neville Singham should be extradited to the United States for criminal trial. George Soros should be extradited from where the hell he is for out of the volcano that he lives under with his, with his bald cat should be extradited to the United States for trial.

[Reporter or Analyst]

Let's talk about the worldwide paid protest pipeline. Who's funding it and why? Because no matter the cause, anti ice, pro Palestine pro or Iran. You'll see different signs, but it's the same script and it's the same networks, the same organizers, the same graphics, the same font. Fox News Digital has been digging into this following the money and a lot of it leads back to one man.

[Rob Carson]

Who is it?

[Reporter or Analyst]

We've told you about him in the past. Tech tycoon, American born Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai now. He allegedly poured millions, he's also married

[Rob Carson]

to the creator, the head of Code

[Reporter or Analyst]

Pink into these networks to push and overtly pro Chinese Communist Party interest.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, and by the way, the Philadelphia protest audio just played where they were cheering for the death of American soldiers. That's paid for by that sob. And I met some of these punks the other day down here in Northern Virginia and it was a lovely Friday night. And you know, everybody's enjoying the outdoors and these morons just set up shop with bullhorns and these the same damn signs as New York City. And I wasn't going to take it anymore. So I confronted them. I got right in their face with my phone and I said, you are a bunch of children. And I yelled to the crowd, these guys are bought and paid by Neville Sangham and George Soros. They are being paid to be here. They're being paid. And then there were two adults like in their 40s. I said, you should be ashamed of yourself bringing these children out here. And one of the girls was actually sucking on a ring pop. You know those little ring pops you used to buy for your toddler? And I'm like, you guys are just stupid, ignorant children. They didn't come back. So what I did was I went home and I got on the Amazon and I got two bullhorns, I did. And I'm keeping them in my Bronco Buck. And if I see any no kingers out this weekend, I'm going to take my 5000 watt sound system, my tailgate is a subwoofer and I'm going to crank ymca. You should do it too because I'm sick of this crap, particularly since it's being bought and paid for by communists. So there you go. There you go. You know, I was reminded of an update we haven't done in a while. It's called the Gender Confusion update by my producer Ken. Also known as Redneck MacGuy. What is my gender today?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Hey, hey,

[Show Announcer]

Hey.

[Rob Carson]

So there's this lawyer in Oklahoma. Did you see this? Got. Got arrested for contempt of court because this. This person is a woman child with a beard. It's a. It's a woman with a beard and says he's a guy. Rob Hopkins is what this guy calls himself or herself or whatever the hell. I have no idea. Got a. She's got a. Got a nine and a beard. There you go. You figure it out.

[Co-host/Commentator]

[Rob Carson]

Roll the dice. You figure it out. Anyway, she decided to get. He decided whatever. Decided to get mouthy with a judge and his. This is what happened.

[Judge or Court Official]

I. I pointed you to the exact paragraph.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Stop.

[Judge or Court Official]

It's her education.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Stop, Stop.

[Judge or Court Official]

Because you don't want to hear.

[Rob Carson]

That's the judge going. Stop, stop, stop.

[Judge or Court Official]

You interrupt me one more time. You are being held in. In. In indirect contempt of court. I wasn't done with my arguments, and I was.

[Rob Carson]

Now this person sounds like a petulant child and then throws the. You're discriminating against me because. With a vagina and a beard.

[Judge or Court Official]

Not done with my statement. You interrupted again.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. Dropped his.

[Show Announcer]

Its phone and it. It fell on the floor.

[Judge or Court Official]

Do not throw.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You.

[Judge or Court Official]

I did not throw. It fell off the bench. Please stop stating things that are not true, ma'.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Am.

[Judge or Court Official]

Maybe because I'm a transgender attorney practicing all over the state. I don't know what you.

[Rob Carson]

You do.

[Judge or Court Official]

It's not.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You do see.

[Rob Carson]

Decided to rub the transgender thing in the judge's face, and the judge went non ankle place here.

[Judge or Court Official]

I don't know what you do, ma'.

[Rob Carson]

Am.

[Judge or Court Official]

You do that. You have just now. Ma' am doesn't have anything to do. It's happened when we talked on the phone.

[Rob Carson]

This is as clear as the nose on my face. And then there's the other guy. The other attorney in there going. You're. You're out of your mind. This woman will not appear before this court because she has a warrant for stealing.

[Judge or Court Official]

Objection. That's not true. Get out of my face, please.

[Rob Carson]

And this is when the. The sergeant at arms or the. You know, the bales bond, whatever. I don't even know the guys in the courtroom. Police officers decide to arrest this person for contempt behind your back because you're

[Judge or Court Official]

in direct contempt of court.

[Protester or Interviewee]

Do not block me.

[Judge or Court Official]

Do not.

[Rob Carson]

This reminds me of a petulant toddler throwing a tantrum. It really does.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Breathe.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. That reminds me of a petulant toddler at the grocery store throwing a tantrum on the on the floor trying to get as much as much attention as possible. And, and I would be sitting, if I were then there, I'd be laughing. I'd do everything I could just to make him feel even worse about being arrested, be like, look at you.

Excellent. Excellent. There's a lot of stuff to to get to on the on the show today. I didn't realize the no Kings protests are coming back. Right. I guess they're going to be out this weekend. I don't know if it's this week, it's tomorrow night, it's tonight. It's gonna be Saturday. I have no idea. But Bruce Springsteen is leading them. By the way, did you hear about this? He says he doesn't care if he loses half of his fans. He says, I'm ready for that. What are you? I mean, what kind of a musician? I guess, I guess he's got enough Money in the bank. He doesn't care, right?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Well, he doesn't care. He doesn't care that he also charges fans crazy, exorbitant prices just to see him in concert. He is completely oblivious to the fact that most of his fans, those blue collar people, can't afford his tickets. And he doesn't really care. He hasn't fought against Ticketmaster. He has done anything to protect his fans from his ego. It's a sad state of affairs, but it's who he is today. He ain't what he used to be.

[Rob Carson]

He's not. I used to kind of like his music and then I got really tired of it. I think about right about when Born in the USA came and they just beat the snot out of on radio for about 30 years.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, you know, I've never been a huge fan. Certain songs I like and Born to Run is just amazing. And listen, it doesn't matter. I recognize that he's been a significant artist and he's a rock and roll icon, I get that. But by God, you know, if you're going to go in this tirade, at least educate yourself. Maybe crack open a. Maybe read the Daily Wire or the Federalist or something and just know what's going on. Don't just keep taking one side of the story. And by the way, can you maybe pen a song about Lake and Riley or any of the countless people who they killed by illegal immigrants? Maybe just bone up on the issues you're talking about before you go on tour. It's the very least do. But he can't.

[Rob Carson]

And then of course also his tickets for his shows are absolutely outrageously expensive, which is, you know, kind of oligarchic of him to do such a thing. I want to play this little sound by Donald Trump went after Jimmy Kimmel after Jimmy Kimmel said this about Mark Wade Mullen.

[Guest or Caller]

Rudy Giuliani might not be with us much longer, but don't worry, Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined

[Rob Carson]

up, including this is career suicide.

[Guest or Caller]

His newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wade. Chuck, Mike Bruce, Dave Mullen. Maybe Mellon's better. He is the now former Senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Mark Wayne Mullen was a low level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right, we have a plumber protecting us from terrorism.

[Rob Carson]

Now there you go. That's where he shows himself as a true elitist to me. Think about this. AOC was a bartender, for God's sake, and he has a problem with a plumber. Working up and becoming Mr. Smith in Washington D.C. again.

[Co-host/Commentator]

He's just dumb. He hasn't, he hasn't learned what he's talking about. Mullen became a plumber. He took over the family business when his dad was sick. And he took over the business not just being a plumber, but actually working in this field when he was a very young man, being responsible. And he's done other things in his life. And he works, was a senator. It's. Listen, if you're going to do satire, political satire, you've got to know what you're talking about. Because when the facts aren't there, the joke doesn't land 100%. I mean, he just, he's just this wacky uncle that shows up and is obsessed about a topic. You name your conspiracy, name your topic. He's just running on and on. It's embarrassing. I'm feeling badly for Jimmy Kimmel. Like he's reached that level of his career weight. You just think, oh my gosh, isn't there anyone who loves him could pull him?

[Rob Carson]

I don't know.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Hey, Jimmy, what's going on? Straighten up.

[Rob Carson]

He's got another. Well, now, I guess probably nine months on his contract because he got a contract because ABC was so terrified of. They were just terrified of the backlash from firing him. They kept him on, but in his ratings went up that day that he came back, and then it's been crap ever since. And Gutfeld is still just, you know, cold clock cocking everybody. And you know, the reason why Gutfeld. And it's not just because he's conservative, okay? It's that he does it with a joyful heart. You watch Gutfeld, he delivers monologues that are fantastic, brilliant, pointed, awesome, and then it's just joyful, the whole damn show. You got, you got, you know, the cast members, the regular ones, Cat and Tyrus, and they're always just funny. And then they bring in the comedian, you know, Jamie, whatever, Jamie Lizzow and all that. But they do it with, with joy. And that's what I try to do. That's what Limbaugh used to do, is you got to have truth in your comedy. And then also you actually really have joy in your heart. And Jimmy Kimmel is a very dark person. He's just not funny anymore.

[Co-host/Commentator]

He's not. And what Gutfeld does is they often disagree. Sometimes Kat will take Gutfeld to task about a certain thing. She's more libertarian, he's more right leaning. You know, it's that kind of back and forth debate. It's that holding each other accountable. It's telling a joke that fails, but having a good laugh along with it's self deprecation. It's all the things that comedy, it makes comedy what it is 100%. And it's just, it's a screed.

[Rob Carson]

It is.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Who wants to watch a screed before bedtime?

[Rob Carson]

It is. I don't know. I know there's a place for comedy. I'm not sure late night particularly, but, but certainly there are plenty of platforms. I'm doing a comedy. You know, I do a lot of comedy on my show. My show is not exclusively comedy. I'm an entertainer. Rush called himself an entertainer and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You can be an entertainer, you can be educated and you can have a point. Like for instance, Bill Maher. But let me give you a little sample, a little bit of Bill Maher.

[Guest or Expert]

Why?

[Rob Carson]

Why I'm becoming more of a fan still, you know, disagree on a lot of stuff. There's a lot of things he's profoundly ignorant on. But I like that he has the balls to say stuff like this.

[Political Commentator]

Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it's the Republican party. We've run this experiment many times and the results are always obvious. Here's capitalist South Korea at night from Spain based. Here's socialist North Korea.

[Rob Carson]

Dark. Yeah.

[Political Commentator]

In 1990, Venezuela was wealthier than Poland. But then Poland, finally free of Soviet style economics, went all in on capitalism and now their economy is as big as Japan and people there have information.

[Rob Carson]

He's being a pundit here.

[Political Commentator]

Wages, low inflation.

[Rob Carson]

What are you going to do with cars? Keep going.

[Political Commentator]

Vacations.

[Rob Carson]

There you go, homes. Great thoughts.

[Political Commentator]

Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chevelle socialism for the 21st century.

[Rob Carson]

And the jokes turned out to be

[Political Commentator]

like socialism in the last century or any century of king mess.

[Rob Carson]

There you go. So that's, that's, that's where Bill Maher is. He's. He has common sense. He has a monica of common sense. Consequently, he's getting the Mark Twain humor award. And I think I would go to the Kennedy center and watch this. What do you think?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, he deserves it. You know, listen, he deserves it for standing up for free speech for decades, for not wavering while all his colleagues have basically, basically bent a knee at the woke mob. He calls out his own side. He's funny. I disagree sometimes and I think he buys into some media narratives that kind of drive me crazy. But he's intellectually honest. He's not predictable. He's smart and he's done it for decades. Those are all really good things and hard things.

[Rob Carson]

I know you had, you had a story on the hollywoodintoto.com why Bill Maher is the perfect choice for the Mark Twain Prize. And I saw him do a comedy Special in the 90s in St. Paul, Minnesota, before he got hyper political. This is right around Politically Incorrect. And he ushered in that new show and he invites people of different viewpoints on the show and he's somehow able to corral them to not let it become a free for all like it does so many times on cnn. You know, if you're watching their panels with Scott Jennings and these other idiots, it's just, it's too much. Bill Maher manages to have a civil discussion with all of them and I think he deserves the prize. I would, I would go to the Kennedy, Senator Trump Kennedy center to see that. Christian Toto, I got a couple other stories I want to get to on the other side of the break. Can you hold? Hold on.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, of course.

[Rob Carson]

All right. Let's take a break and come back. This is the ROB Carson show. It is ROB CARSON show. More with Christian Toto in a second. Gold is now above $4,500 an ounce. That's not bad. 4,525 is what it is. And you know, I was mentioned that, you know, the, a lot of the buildings here in Washington, D.C. are made without structural metal. So the, the Washington Monument is basically a pile of stones held together by Mount I mean, it looks very pretty, but it's really actually not a very strong structure and a really powerful earthquake could damage it. And it did, by the way, early in about 15 years ago, there was a pretty bad earthquake and they spent, they had to spend years fixing it. Same goes with National Cathedral. These structures, like your retirement, need some metal to strengthen them because gold has always had value, silver has always had value and most recently, very unprecedented value. And like the Washington Monument, it's going to be in here for the long haul. So if you're thinking about investing or maybe you've got a portfolio, you've got a 401k or IRA and it's not performing the way you want it to. You can diversify by adding a little metal. And there's only one company that I trust and that is Birch Gold. Birch Gold. By the way, I want to welcome Birch Gold. They have just signed with us again for an extended contract. Birch Gold. Thank you. Thank you for Being a sponsor of this program and being a such a big believer in what we do here, which is a conservative talk radio program that entertains, informs and motivates and features great satire. That's what this show is. Birchgold understands it. He understands our audience. He understands. They understand the connection I have with you guys. So we want to thank you very much, Birchgold, for your business. It means a lot. And I believe in you so much that I've invested my money with Birch Gold. I trust them. I've talked to many on the phone, many of the principals of Birch Gold, and they're a great company. A plus rating from the bbb. If you want to invest in Birchgold, text my name, Rob to 989898. Rob to 989898 for birch gold. So, Christian, have you ever been to the Oscar Oscars?

[Reporter or Analyst]

No.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I've been to the Critics Choice Awards, but not the Oscars.

[Rob Carson]

Well, look at you, C. Lister.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I prefer D, but I'll take the upgrade.

[Rob Carson]

Wow. Look, you get to go. I get to go to the trailer park of awards ceremonies. The Critics Choice Awards. Where was it? Which, which. Which Holiday Inn was it at?

[Co-host/Commentator]

I. I had the best cupcake I've ever had in my life.

[Rob Carson]

I'll bet you did. You know, I've been to the Oscars a number of times. I didn't go to the ceremony, but I would. When I used to work for ABC Radio here in Washington, D.C. they'd send me out to the Oscars and it was really fun because they, you know, it's on Hollywood Boulevard there, and they bring in this, this football field of the worst pink red carpet you could ever imagine. It's absolutely the crappiest carpet. They literally cut it up and give it to homeless people. I don't even know. It's the worst carpet ever. But they bring all these, you know, ABC used it to bring in, you know, TV celebrities for some reason. Like Doris Roberts showed up. She was drinking cabernet out of. Out of a drink glass when she showed up at my table. She was a blast, by the way. She was three sheets in the wind. That said Doris Roberts was so cool. Oh, my God. You have no idea. Doris Roberts from every Everybody Loves Raymond. Oh, my God. But anyway, I never got into the ceremony, but I did go to the pantry. They're moving it from Hollywood. They're moving it to downtown la, nine miles away, out of Hollywood. I don't know what kind of sense this makes. I don't know what exactly the deal is. It's going to be downtown. Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, home of the LA Opera. Did you hear about this?

[Co-host/Commentator]

I did. It's not symbolic at all. Oh, okay.

[Rob Carson]

I was wondering.

[Co-host/Commentator]

And the Oscars themselves. Yeah, listen, it's, it's. Was it rearranging the deck chairs and Titanic at this point a couple years is going to be on YouTube, which is just a riot. But the latest Oscars came in, went. It was 18 hours long last time I checked. Crashed once more. Alienated. Even more of the people who ostensibly could go to the movies would want to go to the movies. It is just an industry that is blinded by its own bigotry. And it's very frustrating for me and you because we love.

[Rob Carson]

I know, I know.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I will continue to celebrate the good. The good ones and crash on the bad ones, but I just wish this industry in toto would get his act together because they doing all the wrong things.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, when I knew, when I worked in music radio, I was writing for Rush Limbaugh and doing music radio, which is, you know, your typical Hollywood dish. Big stunts, big events, you know, all of this stuff. Giving away cars, giving away all this stuff. And I knew to stay away from politics. I absolutely. It was like when you, you don't curse on the air. As a radio professional, you. If there's a shutoff valve. When I put together IKEA furniture, I create a cloud of profanity that planes need to fly around. But when I'm on the air, when I'm on the air, I don't. But they just haven't figured it out. They're committing career suicide. Stephen Colbert, prime example of this. And by the way, he's going write the next Lord of the Rings. What's this all about? Do you know about this? Well, it's obviously you do. It's on Hollywood in toto.

[Co-host/Commentator]

That's a, that's a perfect example. Listen, Stephen Colbert has never written a mainstream, a main feature film script that I know of. He's done some TV work. Now. There's always a chance that he's a big Tolkien fan. There's always a chance, I'm not going to deny this, that he could write a killer script and make a good movie. But the bottom line is he is. He is alienated. What half the country, Maybe more than half the country. Maybe a little less than half the country. Country. And you're making an expensive movie that you need every fanny and every seed possible to make them turn a profit. And you hire him, who's going to make many, many Many people say, I am not going to the theater to see that. Why would you do that? Why would you shoot yourself in the foot? Because they don't even see it. They're just, they're just blinded by the bubble and they think, oh, Colbert, he's a funny guy. He must write a great script.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I don't know what, what business I think in this one, actually, to keep the hobbits from coming under the possession of the ring, they're going to force a vaccine on all of them and it'll be the anti ring. All right, that was maybe a stretch. One other thing you said, Barry, Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice in a time capsule. Not a good time travel movie, I guess.

[Co-host/Commentator]

No, it's not. Listen, I love Vince Vaughn. There's nothing wrong with his performance. I know it's got, it's got some time travel elements, some comedy, some action. Listen, my fellow critics like it far more than me. I found it really well, I found it very obvious. Kind of all the jokes are very forced and could see a mile away. But it's on Hulu this weekend to go and check it out. If you're streaming, if you subscribe, it's, there's no, no harm, no foul. Give it a chance. Maybe you'll like it more than me,

[Rob Carson]

but I, I think I'll just watch another. Watch Old School again or watch Dodgeball again for the 85th time. Chris Toto, thanks for joining me, man. Tell everybody where they can find your podcast. Also Hollywood and Toto.com.
