Senator Dick Blumenthal (3:58)

That direction from your behavior is an intense interest in Christianity, in nationalism, and in not recognizing the talents of women and the transgendered.

Rob Carson (4:16)

He thinks we need more transgendered people, men wearing dresses, who are insane. Okay, first of all, of course, as the Department of War Secretary, you're going to be a nationalist, you freaking moron. Second of all, we are based on the judicial Christian ethic, okay? Our country was founded by Christians. I hate to tell you this, Junior. It's one of the reasons why we're such a great country. By the way, nothing against my Hebrew brothers and sisters out there, certainly a lot against my Islamist brothers and sisters out there. Look to how he said that. I want you to listen to that again. Listen to him. He's just conniving, Just conniving. Your interest in Christianity.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (4:57)

That direction from your behavior is an intense interest in Christianity.

Rob Carson (5:03)

Awesome.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:04)

In nationalism and in not recognizing the talent of women. And.

Rob Carson (5:13)

No, no. Actually, some of the greatest fighter pilots in this campaign were women, by the way.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:19)

Non white gentlemen. And that's.

Rob Carson (5:21)

Oh, non white. There he goes. Now he's calling him racist. You. Do you know how many minorities are in the military, you fool? He's their Department of War secretary as well.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:34)

The wrong direction.

Pete Hegseth (5:35)

I don't know what you're insinuating, Senator, but I am not Ashamed of my faith in Jesus Christ.

Christian Toto (5:40)

Well, I.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:40)

You shouldn't be.

Pete Hegseth (5:41)

And if you want to shame me for it, go ahead.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:43)

I'm not shaming you.

Rob Carson (5:44)

Yeah, you are.

Senator Dick Blumenthal (5:45)

But are you critical of other faiths?

Pete Hegseth (5:48)

I am a believer. I'm quite open in that. And our department allows for a multitude of faith, so I don't know what you're suggesting. I've heard the likes of things that people like you suggest to try to smear my character and I won't give into it.

Rob Carson (6:00)

Yeah, that's exactly what you're trying to do. You. You grotesque individual. This is Dick Blumenthal. Dick Blumenthal attempting to besmirch the Secretary of War. America never succeeds in war unless the American people are behind it. And if what you're seeing as success now is winning, I would. Yeah, we are actually. We're absolutely kicking Iran's ass. Hate to see what losing looks like.

Pete Hegseth (6:23)

The negative nature in which you characterize the incredible and historic effort in Iran is part of the reason, Senator, why the American people view it the way they do. It's why I looked out at our press corps at the Pentagon and called them the Pharisees in the press. And it's defeatist Democrats.

Rob Carson (6:37)

That's why Christian nationalists, you.

Pete Hegseth (6:39)

They cloud the mind of the American

Rob Carson (6:40)

people and they are. They would rather have the Ayatollah in charge. They would rather. They would like our planes to be shot down. They would like our soldiers killed. They want a body count. Their casualties are their ammunition. Casualties are the Democrats ammunition. And it's not going to work because it's evil. They're evil. Here's Donald Trump talking about the criticism and what it borders on.

Donald Trump (7:05)

It's actually seditious, in my opinion.

Rob Carson (7:08)

It is.

Donald Trump (7:09)

You read the New York Times, you actually think they're winning the war. They're sitting in a cave and all their leaders are dead. Everyone's dead around them. Missiles are all over the place. They have no navy, they have no air force, they have no nothing. We can fly right over the middle of Tehran without being shot at because they have no anti aircraft, they have nothing. And they're reading that they're winning the war.

Rob Carson (7:29)

They're trying to figure it out.

Donald Trump (7:30)

They get the New York Times, I guess in some form and they think we're crazy.

Rob Carson (7:36)

Yeah, the military members. I'm talking to you right now. Remember this Democrat Party and what they have done to you. They gutted you, they woke ified you and then now they are. They're insulting your brilliant and brave actions. To take down a regime that has been waging war on the rest of the world and humanity for 47 years. Remember this? Remember this? Moms and dads of service members. Remember this awful chapter from the Democrat Party. They are indeed a force of darkness in the world. Here's Liz Warren. Dear God, she's filthy rotten rich. She's worth like $30 million because, you know, members of Congress go to Washington D.C. make $174,000 a year, end up getting fabulously wealthy. And a lot of it has to do with insider training. I'm sure there's all sorts of other stuff involved here because they aren't very smart people. But here she is going after Pete Hegsest for supposedly profiteering.

Liz Warren (8:32)

The Financial Times reported that your broker,

Rob Carson (8:35)

and by the way, this story was an absolute lie and fabrication to buy

Liz Warren (8:39)

hundreds of shares in a BlackRock fund invested in defense companies just before the war began. The law prohibits the secretary.

Pete Hegseth (8:47)

That entire story is false, has been from the beginning and was made up out of whole cloth. And anybody she's going to try and

Rob Carson (8:53)

filibuster him so she can get a little clip that can be used on Ms. Now looks at it, sees how

Pete Hegseth (8:59)

it was worded from the beginning to make it look like I was involved in something I had nothing to do and never have. I'm not looking for money. I don't do it for money. I don't do it for profit. I don't do it for stocks. And that's part of the reason why I'm able to be effective in this job because no one owns me.

Liz Warren (9:12)

Did you, through your broker at Morgan Stanley or otherwise seek to invest in any defense related funds right before Trump started the Iran war?

Pete Hegseth (9:22)

I'll give it to you as a big fat negative.

Liz Warren (9:25)

Then let me ask you a second question. Is your broker getting your personal sign off on any investment in individual stocks?

Pete Hegseth (9:34)

Bigger, fatter, negative.

Liz Warren (9:36)

He's not getting your sign off before he makes investments in defense stocks.

Rob Carson (9:41)

Somebody throw some holy water on her. By God, she will just shrivel up.

Johnny Carson (9:45)

Just.

Rob Carson (9:50)

Here he is shredding the hysterical. I could say that. Hysterical Kristen Gillibrand.

Kirsten Gillibrand (9:54)

There's no evidence that we are safer because of this war. We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to imminently attack this country.

Rob Carson (10:02)

Yeah, we did. And you were in the briefings where it was explained. Then you came out of the briefings and you lied like you hadn't heard

Kirsten Gillibrand (10:07)

anything any way, shape or form. So I disagree with your assessment that we are under threat.

Pete Hegseth (10:13)

Do you not Believe them when they say death to America.

Kirsten Gillibrand (10:16)

Listen, our adversaries use rhetoric all the time. What I am concerned about is. We are.

Rob Carson (10:21)

Yeah, but they haven't killed thousands of our troops.

Kirsten Gillibrand (10:23)

Not safer. And I would just like to know why you have not sought the support of the American people and three out of five Americans are against this war.

Rob Carson (10:32)

Yeah, that's absolute bullcrap day.

Pete Hegseth (10:36)

I believe we do have the support of the American people and we have briefed regularly what this mission looks like and why it's critically important that we undertake it. And I would remind you and this group that we're two months in to an effort and many congressional Democrats, as I pointed out, want to declare defeat. Two months in, they do. Iraq took how many years? Afghanistan took how many years? And they were nebulous missions that people went along with. This is different. This is a defined mission set that we have had great success in pursuing against a determined enemy who seeks nuclear weapons. And I'm proud of the opportunity to

Kirsten Gillibrand (11:11)

remind the American people because they believe in it as well, not supporting this war. You don't care when the American people,

Pete Hegseth (11:18)

and the American people are quite smart, they understand and see through spin. They know that a regime that says death to America.

Rob Carson (11:25)

Yes.

Pete Hegseth (11:25)

That seeks nuclear weapons and the ability to see. Did they lie about the range of their missiles?

Liz Warren (11:30)

How much?

Kirsten Gillibrand (11:30)

I saw 4,000km to pay for this war right now. Do you wanted $1 billion a day?

Rob Carson (11:38)

How about the $500 billion in fraud in California? Honestly, this is as low as it gets. When you on day one declare a military mission is a. Is a disaster. That's what Chris Murphy did on day one. On day one, they had their opposition locked and loaded. They knew that this was another nail in their bloody stinking coffin. That if Donald Trump took out the world's largest sponsor of terror and the threat and brought peace to the Middle east for the first time in millennia that it would be another nail in their coffin. Well, I have one thing to say. Pound that nail. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson. You know my signature phrase, don't catch the stupid when it comes to Medicare, that's easier said than done. Medicare is overly complex with thousands of plans, hidden gotchas in the fine print and rules nobody really explains to you. Many people just pick something and hope for the best. That's why you need to know about chapter. They're the only advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions, and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. When your call with chapter is done, you know your doctors are covered, your prescriptions are matched, and you go from I hope I did this right to I know I did. That, my friends, is peace of mind. A call with chapter is free for my audience, and there's no pressure to sign up. Call Chapter today. Here's a number. 27 Medicare. That's 27 Medicare. 27 Medicare. 4 Chapter. No pressure. What's your excuse? Call 27 Medicare. And don't catch the stupid yourself. Call 27 Medicare. Today. It's the Rob Carson show on a Friday. This is Clay Higgins yesterday talking to Pete Hegseth and offering some praise for our military that they, they deserve it.

Christian Toto (13:42)

One of the foundational endeavors that you embrace is to, in your words, forge a lethal arsenal of freedom. I don't think it could be more, more accurately described the spirit that you gentlemen are delivering within the Department of War.

Rob Carson (14:06)

Boy, that just sounds kind of annoying. I don't know what the hell the problem was with the processing on that. But anyway, he praised the military. I apologize for that. He was very, very positive, by the way, which was awesome. It is a Friday, but the callers are calling today. Rich in Joppa, Maryland, on the line. Rich, thanks for holding, my friend. What's on your mind today?

Caller Rich (14:26)

Hey, Rob, I love you, man. You are responsible, you're partly responsible for my sobriety for the last six months.

Rob Carson (14:32)

Good.

Caller Rich (14:32)

I've been listening to you from years. I'm a Dundalk boy. I'm a Baltimore boy.

Rob Carson (14:37)

Dundalk, baby.

Caller Rich (14:37)

I love when you go on your rant about Donald Trump and his accomplishments. It reminds me of Bill Murray in the movie Scrooge when he finally figures it all out and he goes, can you feel it? Can you feel it right now? I could feel it coming over me. That whole speech when you do that reminds me just of that. It's amazing, brother.

Rob Carson (14:59)

This is.

Caller Rich (15:01)

I might go. I might want to go on the trip. I'm still trying to figure out if I can. Are there still openings?

Rob Carson (15:06)

There are openings. We have. We've. We want to sell this thing out and just travel with rob.net travelwithrob.net this fall. I would love to have you, bro. And let me tell you, congratulations on your sobriety.

Caller Rich (15:21)

I'm so glad you found the church, man. Between my relationship with my church and my sobriety, I feel so much better. You and I have a kind of a kinship. I'm six. I'm 59. I'll be 60 Christmas Day. You know, I've been through so much. I had the CFPB wipe my business out. Went down to nothing. I'm actually at an Amazon factory right now working because I'm trying to go small before I go big. Just like when you started selling cars. Yeah, that's just kind of how I feel. That's what you have to do. You got to go small.

Rob Carson (15:50)

Before I moved here eight months ago, my wife divorced me. I thought I had the hurdles passed. I had been sober for four years. We I was on the, on the happy track of my wife. And then my wife divorced me and I moved my stuff in a U haul to Washington D.C. like a kid right out of college, got an apartment and now we're number 10 in the nation for political commentary podcasts in the whole Friggin Nation. Number 42 for news and 250 for all podcasts. You can do anything. You start at Amazon and you move up. Go ahead.

Caller Rich (16:23)

I'm so happy for you. Like I said, I started, I started here. I've been flipping houses for years. I used to do a debt program and the CFPB totally shut me down. I went from driving a McLaren to driving a 24 year old Toyota 4Runner, you know what I mean? And I'm fighting my way back. I got two beautiful girls who graduated from college with no college debt because I was making the money at the time and I'm just moving on, brother. And I appreciate you. You are an inspiration to me and inspiration to many of us.

Rob Carson (16:56)

Thank you brother. Try to get booked on that trip if you can. I'd love to. I'd love to see you. I'd love to see you, man. Rich, Congratulations Gary in Kingsville, Maryland. Gary, welcome to the Rob Carson up.

Christian Toto (17:06)

How you doing brother? Well, I'm gloriously is AA Friday because I do recovered alcoholic. I've been sober now for 38 years.

Rob Carson (17:15)

Dang dang. Well, you know I don't like to say I'm not, listen I'm not a walking wounded, okay? I don't go, I'm in recovery bull crap. I just don't drink anymore, all right? I had something happening. I'm not gonna wear, I'm not gonna wear this around my neck the rest of my life. I'm not gonna go to. That's why I didn't go to aa. I mean some of it works for you but I don't need to admit every day, every time I go I'm go to the bathroom. Hi, I'm Rob. I'm an alcoholic, got to go to the bathroom and. I know. No, no, because, Gloria, let's not. Congratulations.

Christian Toto (17:44)

Okay.

Rob Carson (17:45)

Congratulations.

Christian Toto (17:46)

Anyway.

Rob Carson (17:46)

Yes.

Christian Toto (17:48)

When I watched this most recent footage they have released about the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner, I was shocked. I've been questioning the abilities and training of our Secret Service now ever since Butler Penns.

Rob Carson (18:04)

I know.

Christian Toto (18:05)

But what I saw as that assassin ran through that lobby.

Rob Carson (18:08)

Yeah.

Christian Toto (18:09)

Astounded me, because a Secret Service agent,

Caller Christian Toto (18:13)

that was to the.

Christian Toto (18:14)

To our left as we were looking at the screen, must have taken four to six shots at this guy as the guy was running from left to right and there were other agents behind him, beyond him. You're never to shoot when other people are going to likely get hurt. And yet he was putting all of those people's lives in danger while he's trying to hit this guy.

Rob Carson (18:34)

Yeah, they. I mean, honestly, that he was just able to run right past him and they weren't even facing the right direction. How in the hell do you let somebody run right past you?

Christian Toto (18:44)

Did you notice the guy with the police officer with the dog, that the assailant went into the room? That was the magnometer went into the room. The dog apparently smelled something, and the dog and the officer followed him in. You can see the officer talking to the assailant. And then literally, he took no more than three steps away from that door before the assailant comes charging out with his long coat on, carrying a shotgun. How did that officer and that dog not know that, you know?

Rob Carson (19:16)

I don't know, but I'm gonna tell you. I'm just so bloody sick and damn tired of this nonsense. To be quite honest, Gary, I have no more stomach for this nonsense. I have no more stomach for this temper tantrum. I have no more stomach for these threats. We are not going to live in darkness the rest of our lives. We're not going to live in the chaos that they have created. We're going to drive them into the pits of hell, brother. Are you with me?

Christian Toto (19:37)

I'm with you, brother.

Rob Carson (19:38)

Come on, now. All right, bro. Thanks for calling. You made my day. You and Rich just made my day, man. You just made my day. You know what? I'm going to play something here. This is a police officer in Jacksonville, Florida, and he was on a bridge. And there was a young man. His man's name is Antonio Richardson. And there's a young man on the bridge. The police officer just happens to be a black man. The young man happens to be a white guy. Race didn't Matter. And he talked. I'll just play the. The audio and the video for you streamers. You'll see it. For you guys who are listening, listen to this.

Antonio Richardson (20:16)

You can get through it now.

Donald Trump (20:19)

Listen, man.

Antonio Richardson (20:20)

Listen, listen. You can get through this. Come on. Let's talk about it for a minute. Can I at least have a prayer with you?

Rob Carson (20:29)

This guy was going to jump off a bridge. It's called the Dames Point Bridge. And he was going to end his life. And Antonio Richardson was there.

Antonio Richardson (20:36)

You believe in prayer. I know that. Can I at least have prayer with you? Hold your hand and pray with you. Come on, man. Touch my head. Touch from this side. Look at my head. Touch my. Just touch my hand. Just touch my hand, man. I'm praying with you. You're hurting. But if you jump, you're gonna hurt other people and they're gonna be hurting just like you heard it. Now the cycle got to stop. Of hurt. The sight of hurt. Hurt got to stop.

Rob Carson (21:05)

I know you got a lot going on. You do. But whatever. If you could make that jump, it is going to be a hundred times worse for everyone you care about. I know you don't want to do

Antonio Richardson (21:16)

that to them, ruin them.

Rob Carson (21:19)

Come on, man.

Antonio Richardson (21:20)

Come on. Please.

Rob Carson (21:23)

Come on, man. Come on, bro. Come on, man. Come on. And he hugged him.

Caller Christian Toto (21:31)

Come on.

Rob Carson (21:31)

And he said, it's all right.

Antonio Richardson (21:34)

It's all right.

Rob Carson (21:35)

I love people like this do not make enough money. And they certainly are a lot better than the people on Capitol Hill who are trying to besmirch our military, the people who defunded our police and all of that. That's my story of the day. By the way, I love that store more than anything I posted on social media, on Twitter, Rob Carson Show Christian Toto Hollywood. And Toto.com joins us next. Don't go anywhere. Hey guys, it's Carson.

Donald Trump (24:05)

Relentlessly slowing the spread of the stupid. Every day, it's the Rob Carson Show.

Rob Carson (24:11)

Greta von Suster with President Trump last night.

Liz Warren (24:14)

One last question. Jimmy Kimmel has apologized. Is it a good apology? Do you accept the apology?

Donald Trump (24:21)

I haven't heard him apologize, but he's a lowlife. Whether he apologized or not, he's a lowlife. He always has been. He shouldn't be on television. I don't know how a guy can be on television where the network gets free airwaves from the United States government and spend 100% of his time.

Rob Carson (24:39)

Yeah.

Donald Trump (24:40)

Knocking Republicans and conservatives and trump 100% of his time. It does. It's not supposed to work that way. You know, equal time provisions, etc. It's not supposed to work that way. But he's not a funny guy. He's got no ratings and I don't understand how he can be on air. I think ABC is putting themselves in great jeopardy, actually. You know, they've already paid me $16 million. George Sloppadopoulos said things that were untrue and they had to pay me $16 million. So this is, this is very serious. What, what's going on there?

Rob Carson (25:19)

That is, of course, the president talking to Greta Von Susserd. Last night on Newsmax, Christian Toto from Hollywood in toto. How are you on this glorious Friday?

Caller Christian Toto (25:28)

I'm glorious thank you. Thanks for asking.

Rob Carson (25:30)

Yeah, you know, he makes a good point. These are public airwaves. These are abc, cbs, NBC. These are over the air broadcasters, although they are delivered by many platforms, don't get me wrong. But it is, he does make a very good point about the abuse of the licenses and the licensees. What do you think?

Caller Christian Toto (25:49)

God, this is such a tricky subject. I'm always leaning towards free speech. I always want that to kind of win the day. I want the marketplace to decide, of course. But I mean the fact that it is a broadcast channel does bring up certain issues. And then if you bring up certain issues and if there is some sort of punitive action against him, he becomes a free speech martyr. And then the next right leaning person who says anything on a broadcast channel will be challenged and possibly thrown off the channel.

Rob Carson (26:20)

Well, there aren't any on the public airwaves. There are no conservative comedy shows on abc, cbs, NBC. There are none. There are none.

Caller Christian Toto (26:29)

Yeah, you're not wrong.

Rob Carson (26:32)

You know, ABC is. I used to work for ABC Disney and this was like 2004 to about 2007 when they were bought out by an idiot named Fareed Soulman who, who brought it. Citadel is a company that he killed. Killed. He bought ABC Disney. And I enjoyed working for ABC Disney. I thought it was glorious. You could, you'd go, you get free tickets to Disney World. Seriously, you get free tickets to Disney World and then you get like 50% off ESPN, you know, the ESPN cafes that are around the country and all that. And it was, and they were a good, and they were a supportive company. They were a generous company. And I remember, you know, I go to the Hollywood, to the red carpet and meet all sorts of people. They bring the ABC stars down, you know, and I told you about Doris Roberts showing up with a, you know like a big gulp of. But Kimmel was a smart ass, just not funny, just a smart ass. You couldn't get any kind of answer out of him that was completely meaningful. He had this show, it was moderately successful for a while, but now it's just, he's just entering that. He's just entertaining that fluffed audience.

Caller Christian Toto (27:35)

I just don't understand. Listen to our friends on the left who are decent and kind. Is that entertaining? Is that funny? I mean, I just don't, I don't even see any entertainment value. I, I'd like to think I'm open minded enough to see, okay, that was a funny joke or a funny riff or I'd get that or I don't agree with that position. But that's a kind of a clever way to look at it. I see none of that. I just see anger and hate and rage and that's, that's all there is there. And I just don't understand it. And I, you know, once upon a time he was funny, but he's so. One note now and so cruel. And by the way, the comments were all talking about sort of the glow of an expectant widow. He wasn't talking about the fact that Trump is older. No one's talking about. Trump is going to pass away tomorrow a ridiculously healthy and hearty 79 year old. Listen, things happen for sure. He said that joke about Biden. You said, well, listen, Biden looks like he's going to kill over sadly at some point. He doesn't look well. He's a very old 80, 81 guy, not Trump. So that defense doesn't even, doesn't even hold water. I think it's nonsense and I don't know. I just, it just makes me sad that not that Kimball's out there doing his shtick, that's fine, but that there's any audience for it and it's actually been creeping up. His numbers been going up in the last six months. That makes me just really, really sad.

Rob Carson (28:53)

Yeah. Here is his remarks following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. I want you to listen to the audience when he talks about coming together. They laughed at the possibility. I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am. Just because no one got killed doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic and scary. And we should come together and be best. We really should. But if you want us to believe. Did you hear them? The crowd laughed at that. The crowd laughed at that. Unbelievable.

Caller Christian Toto (29:21)

Listen, I don't mind that they laughed at the. Listen, what we're seeing across the board is Saturday Night Live's audience and the Daily Show's audience and Kimmel's audience. When they joke about violence, it's laughters and guffaws and all sorts of cheers. You know, whether it's Luigi Mangione. Yeah, they're burning Tesla dealerships, or maybe, maybe Trump will die tomorrow. They're all laughing and cheering it on. It's not just a Jimmy Kimmel problem, it's a cultural problem.

Rob Carson (29:52)

Didn't they do the same thing in ancient Rome before it fell with the gladiatorial combat? I mean, literally cheering as people were eaten alive by lions? I'm not, I'm not kidding.

Caller Christian Toto (30:02)

No, No. I just heard a quote, an old clip of Johnny Carson, I think it might have been hosting the Oscars. And it was just. Yes, Reagan was, was shot. And he carried on with such class and such dignity and such reverence for the President. Doesn't matter what party he was. And the crowd was cheering him. And it was this humane, decent moment in pop culture that we can't get back.

Christian Toto (30:26)

And now can I play it?

Rob Carson (30:27)

Can I play it for you? Let me get. Here it is right there's John.

Johnny Carson (30:30)

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sure that all of you here and most of you watching tonight understand why we delayed this program for 24 hours because of the incredible events of yesterday. That old adage, the show must go on seemed relatively unimportant. The Academy, ABC Television and all of us connected with the show felt because of the uncertain outcome as of this time yesterday, it would have been inappropriate to stage a celebration. But the news today is very good. As you know, the president is in excellent condition. At last reports, he's been conducting business.

Rob Carson (31:04)

I know. There you go. Class act Johnny Carson on ABC back then. You're right.

Caller Rich (31:10)

Yeah.

Caller Christian Toto (31:11)

You never get that today on every level. You wouldn't have the audience cheering his good health prognosis. You wouldn't have a host treating it with the reverence that deserves. You wouldn't have any of that today, Christian.

Rob Carson (31:23)

If Jimmy Kimmel said on his show on Monday he got on and said, thank goodness the President is okay, that audience would have been. They would have gone, boo. They would have. They would have.

Caller Christian Toto (31:36)

The best case scenario would have been silence. The worst case is exactly what you said.

Rob Carson (31:40)

That's what exactly there would be. I want to take a break and come back because I got a couple of things I want to talk about Hollywood media ignoring Spencer Pratt, his commercial for mayor of Los Angeles. I'm playing a little audio from that and then get your thoughts on it. Animal Farm as well. And then I've got a movie that I watched again. A lot of times. You have on your. In your website, hollywood and tota.com. like for instance, Hokum. Hokum is. Is on your website. I, I revisited a scary movie from about a year ago and I was just, I, I was. It was even. It was even better. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is a Rob Carson show on a Friday. I'll remind you, the guys putting in charge of the stream. Kill the music when I go to break or I want to come Back on. Thank you. All right, so anyway, we're talking to Christian Toto Hollywood in Toto. You need to make HollywoodInToto.com a favorite on your browser. You need to check it out every day. I do. Because you know what? Conservatives like to watch movies and tv. Believe it or not. It's kind of crazy. You've heard about this, this ad. Maybe you've seen it. Spencer Pratt's running for mayor of LA against the awful Karen Bass. Have you seen this, Christian Toto?

Caller Christian Toto (32:56)

Yeah, It's a great ad.

Christian Toto (32:58)

It's.

Caller Christian Toto (32:58)

It's short, it's sweet, it's impactful, it's passionate, it's clever, it's on target. And I just can't imagine anyone. I just can't imagine being in la. Yeah, I want to keep voting. For what? More on what I'm getting.

Rob Carson (33:11)

I mean, yeah, I want to play the. I want to play the ad because he is. He's standing out in front of Karen Bass's mansion and other people's mansion. Then he goes to where his house used to be because he. His house was burned down and he's living in a trailer. Listen to this.

Spencer Pratt (33:25)

This is where Mayor Vass lives. You notice something? Or here where Nikki Ron. This is where Mayor Vass lives. You notice something? Or here where Nithya Ramen's three million dollar mansion sits. They don't have to live in the mess they've created.

Rob Carson (33:39)

Where you live homeless.

Spencer Pratt (33:42)

This is where I live. They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That's why I'm running for mayor for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.

Rob Carson (34:00)

I hope so. You're reporting on Hollywood in Dodo that the Hollywood media is ignoring the. It's very impactful, Christian.

Caller Christian Toto (34:08)

It's amazing. You know, I cover not just Hollywood, but the way it's covered. And the industry publications like Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, they're so biased. It's so cartoonish and they're so one sided. And when there's a story out there that matters, but it doesn't reflect a narrative that they like, they just ignore it. They pretend it doesn't exist. I mean, there's so many people been censored in recent years. They haven't talked about sensitivity readers who are, you know, erasing classic books. It's just there's so much to share and they just don't care if it doesn't align with their worldview. It's pathetic.

Rob Carson (34:41)

Yeah, I'm hoping that. I'm hoping that he wins and I'm hoping that Steve Hilton wins the governorship. The. You got another headline. The war against Angel Studios. Animal Farm, which is kind of like Sesame Street. One of these things is not like the other Animal Farm. Kind of the antithesis of what Angel Studios is all about.

Caller Christian Toto (34:58)

Very strange. Listen, I've been cheering on Angel Studios. They make good films. They make films that aren't being made in Hollywood, you know, smaller budgets. But they're heartfelt, they're thoughtful, they're often very, very good. And I couldn't be happier that they're existing and doing what they're doing and offering us an alternative. And then they embrace this movie, animal form, which basically changes George Orwell's story from anti communist to anti capitalism. And they're cheering it on. It's like they became a Hollywood studio overnight. Now I want to give them some grace. I think it's a mistake. I think. I think they're handling it poorly, but they've still done good work. And I don't want to just kind of erase a studio because of one big misstep, but it is a pretty big misstep, I have to say.

Rob Carson (35:38)

Yeah, it's like making Fatal Attraction into a romance comedy. Hey, honey. What. What are we having for dinner? Oh, we're having boiled bunny. Oh, I love you. You know. Yeah, it doesn't work as well. You know, my kids. I never liked horror movies growing up. I. I couldn't even look at the newspaper ad for a horror movie, Rosemary's Baby. If I saw just the picture of the damned ad. I couldn't sleep for weeks. I couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Couldn. They're showing me that they are. There is so much goodness out there in some of these movies you have up here. Hokub. So scary you can't keep quiet in the theater.

Caller Christian Toto (36:16)

Yeah, that one's open this weekend. I didn't see. That's my guest critic, Barry Work.

Rob Carson (36:19)

Gotcha.

Caller Christian Toto (36:20)

Giving it a rave. That's Adam Scott.

Rob Carson (36:22)

Really?

Caller Christian Toto (36:22)

It's a witch themed movie. I understand it's not super gory, which is a good sign.

Rob Carson (36:27)

Good.

Caller Christian Toto (36:28)

Yeah, he just, he. He was exclaiming in his theater. He was so scared and shocked and, you know, we're living in an age where there's some really interesting horror movies coming out, some new younger directors who seem to have a real vision for the genre. Maybe you're not a fan, but I'm just glad that other people are kind of rising up. And some of these directors of horror movies, they go on to kind of go mainstream and they do great dramatic films.

Rob Carson (36:50)

Well, I mean, isn't. Isn't Sinners technically a horror movie? Yeah, and it's a magnificent movie. You also, you wrote a little piece here and you did a thing on your podcast, by the way, on YouTube, about silence of the Lambs. I never consider that a horror movie, but some people do. And you said that people are missing something about Silence of the Lambs.

Caller Christian Toto (37:10)

Yeah, I mean, it's been attacked in recent years for being transphobic.

Rob Carson (37:13)

Oh, it was then. It was then.

Caller Christian Toto (37:17)

Well, it wasn't. It wasn't, because the character, Buffalo Bill, well, he know what he does with women. He wants to be a woman. So he kind of uses his victims in a very way we can barely describe here.

Rob Carson (37:26)

Like Ed Geen. He's based on Ed Gein, a killer from Illinois, by the way. Go ahead.

Caller Christian Toto (37:31)

In the movie itself, they mention that he is not trans, that the killer is not trans. He thinks he is, but he's not. And Jody Foster's character even says trans people tend to be less violent and meek. Now, that's true.

Caller Rich (37:44)

Or not.

Caller Christian Toto (37:44)

I'm gonna leave that for other people with more knowledge. But the movie is basically saying, no, we're not talking about a trans person. And yet in recent years, because of what's going on in the culture, they're saying, you can.

Caller Rich (37:56)

That's a bad movie.

Caller Christian Toto (37:56)

It's stereotyping.

Rob Carson (37:57)

Oh, dear God.

Christian Toto (37:58)

In school.

Rob Carson (37:59)

No, it's a masterpiece. It's a masterpiece movie. And. And whenever I see some crazy, insane transgender person, I always put retweet it with the words. It puts the lotion in the basket. So I do it. I watched a movie that came out, 2024 again for the first time, and it's Late Night with the Devil, and I want Brother. That's a very good movie. We were talking about Johnny Carson earlier. They encapsulated the look and the feel of a 1970s late night TV show, including the bumpers coming back with the band and then the acting and then the storyline. It is a damned good movie.

Caller Christian Toto (38:39)

It sure is. It's very original. It was kind of a sleeper hit a couple years ago. People really did connect with it. And it's very original, very fresh, very smart. So I'm glad you're, you know.

Rob Carson (38:48)

You know, I've turned the corner on horror movies. When I sit in my apartment by myself and watch them, you're a whole new man, I swear. Christian, always great to have you on, man. Make sure to check out Christian and Hollywoodintoto.com tell everybody where they can watch your podcast.

Rob Carson (39:09)

Great to have you on, brother. Have a glorious weekend. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. I do my own bumper music. I don't play it. I choose it. There you go. I think this is Black Joe Lewis is the name of the the artist. They called himself black Joe Lewis. That's the way it is. So I was mentioning earlier, they found a massive lithium deposit in the Appalachian. It's going to take care of our power needs for years, batteries and all that. We don't have to go to sub Saharan Africa where the Chinese communist party enslaves children to dig it out. That's pretty cool. It's pretty amazing. It's going to do wonders for our economy and the future. But a lot of the times, you know, there are constraints on commodities like minerals, like that, certainly on oil. We've seen that with the straits of Hormuz and Iran threatening that and all that, you know, another commodity that is limited gold. Of course, gold, you can only dig out so much, you know, and it's been very precious for a very long time and it's gone up in value tremendously. Right now is a very good time to get in because it's at $4,600 an ounce, about 46, $4,700 an ounce, which was unheard of two years ago when it was $2,600 an ounce. Right now, Birch gold has an offer for you. If you've never purchased gold before, if you've never invested in it before now through May 29th, if they're going to give first time gold buyers a rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases, that's pretty amazing.

Text my name, Rob to 989-898. Today, Rob Finnerty had a great take on the king's visit earlier this week.

Rob Finnerty (41:06)

The part of the king's feast that got zero attention from the rest of the media.

Rob Carson (41:11)

Rob Finnery from Newsmax.

Rob Finnerty (41:13)

There were at least 11 billionaires there, not including Donald Trump, not including the King. At least nine who have voted against Donald Trump in the past, in 2016 or 2020.

Rob Carson (41:23)

Wow.

Rob Finnerty (41:23)

Were there two nights ago, but not anymore. Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Bob Kraft, all self made billionaires. There should not be a problem with that. We should not be fighting against people being successful in this country. And it was all on display for the Royal Family and the entire United Kingdom. They were watching in the UK and the message was clear. Things are changing here.

Rob Carson (41:45)

Boom.

Rob Finnerty (41:45)

But what happened on Tuesday was the largest collection of billionaires ever seated together for dinner in history.

Rob Carson (41:53)

Yeah. And what does that mean for Democrats? Because they've only got two billionaires now.

Rob Finnerty (41:57)

Think about that. And this all happened because of one man. His name's Donald Trump. The Republican Party now has more billionaire donors than any party ever in history.

Rob Carson (42:08)

We did them.

Rob Finnerty (42:08)

Which is a lot better than Democrats can say right now. They are still $16 million in debt, thanks to the failed campaign of Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, who spent over a billion dollars in just over 100 days. Think about that. In fact, the only two billionaires that Democrats still have donating to Democrats are perhaps two of the most evil people alive today. George Soros and Bill Gates.

Rob Carson (42:33)
