Episode: Rob Carson and Blaine Holt Expose the Treason Files
Date: November 24, 2025
Host: Rob Carson
Guest: Brigadier General Blaine Holt
Platform: Newsmax Podcasts

Episode Overview

In this lively Thanksgiving-week episode, Rob Carson and retired Brigadier General Blaine Holt dig into their so-called "Treason Files." The duo delivers pointed, satirical, and sometimes biting commentary on major political stories, including federal judicial rulings around Trump and Comey, Democratic policies—a particular focus on New York City and California—controversy over border security, US relations with Venezuela, the Ukraine war, and internal Republican critiques. Throughout, the tone is informal, irreverent, and unapologetically polemical, with moments of humor and parody interspersed.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Judicial Rulings, Trump, and Deep State Allegations

• Dismissal of Indictments:
  • Carson discusses a federal judge dismissing indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, suggesting the legal rationale (appointment issues with Lindsey Halligan) is spurious and politically motivated ([03:15]).
  • He asserts that judges in jurisdictions antagonistic to Trump apply justice unevenly:

    "They find jurisdictions and judges who they know will go after Donald Trump... and also find juries that are completely corrupt against Donald Trump." — Rob Carson ([02:09])

• Mike Davis from Article 3 Project:
  • Davis argues Democrat leaders and intelligence agencies conspired criminally against Trump dating back to the Russian collusion investigation:

    "Anyone politicizes and weaponizes intel agencies and law enforcement to go after their political enemies for non-crimes has committed a very serious crime... and this goes all the way to the top of the Obama administration." — Mike Davis ([04:40])

Economic Populism & New York City Affordability

• NYC and Affordability:
  • Carson lampoons Zoran Mandami’s (D, NY) proposals to address New York City’s affordability crisis (higher taxes, expanded public benefits), countering with:

    "Move to a city you can afford to live in." — Rob Carson ([09:03])

  • He critiques Democrat-created cost-of-living problems and ridicules Mandami’s fundraising appeals:

    "He hopes very soon not to ask for it because he's just going to take it." ([11:04])

• Comparing Rent Across US Cities:
  • Carson contrasts the cost vs. square footage in different cities to emphasize NYC's comparative unaffordability and the impracticality of expecting government solutions ([14:10]).

Democratic “Weaponization” & Civil Unrest

• Weaponization of Government:
  • Holt and Carson argue Democrats have waged a "de facto civil war," using Antifa and other groups as "soldiers for hire":

    "They're doing it with Soldiers for Hire in Antifa. All of these agencies, these radicals funded by people like George Soros." — Rob Carson ([23:17])

  • Holt comments on how NGOs are employed to do what government agencies legally can't do, referencing Soros’s operations back to the 1970s ([23:48]).

California: Homelessness, Drugs, and the Welfare State

• Homeless Industrial Complex:
  • Citing a viral Elon Musk video, Carson and Holt discuss how California charities and NGOs allegedly profit from the homeless crisis:

    "Their incentive structure is to maximize the number of drug zombies, not minimize it... This is a diabolical scam." — Rob Carson ([18:41])

  • Massive amounts of money allegedly flow to these organizations, perpetuating rather than solving homelessness ([19:20]).

2024 GOP Accountability & Criticism of Law Enforcement

• The “Seditious Six”:
  • Holt and Carson rail against six senior officials ("seditious six") who challenged the legality of Trump-era or proposed presidential orders, interpreting their dissent as laying groundwork for post-election impeachments ([29:01]).
• Calls for DOJ Aggression:
  • Both call for aggressive legal action, with Carson saying,

    "I want somebody to kick some ass. I want people to go to jail for what they did." ([26:58])

National Security:

• Muslim Brotherhood as Terror Org:
  • Discussion of Trump’s promise (and Abbott’s recent declaration in Texas) to name the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization ([16:12]).
• Phone-in Voting Skepticism:
  • Carson lampoons Eric Swalwell’s proposal for phone-in voting, citing fraud concerns ([17:19]).
• US Show of Strength in Venezuela:
  • Holt and Carson discuss US military presence off Venezuela’s coast, predicting that the regime would quickly collapse and dismissing the necessity of “boots on the ground” ([34:58]).
  • Hint at the global drug trade’s profit for elites:

    "Those bankers and globalists have been getting rich off the drug trade." — Blaine Holt ([34:27])

Ukraine-Russia War and Prospects for Peace

• Marco Rubio’s Hopeful Statement:
  • The episode closes on a cautiously optimistic note regarding Ukraine-Russia negotiations, with hopes of peace by Christmas. Holt is positive, credits pragmatism among Ukrainian legislators, and highlights war fatigue ([32:14], [33:07]).
  • Carson reflects on the Christmas truce of WWI as an emotional parallel ([33:21]):

    "That story shreds me...It wouldn't be amazing if there were peace?" — Rob Carson ([33:22])

Episode Tone & Closing

With typical brashness, the hosts blend outrage, dark humor, and cultural commentary, self-branding as robustly pro-Trump, anti-“deep state,” and unafraid of controversy. Even as they decry political opponents, they celebrate moments of potential peace (Ukraine), express Thanksgiving gratitude ([36:05]), and frequently break for boisterous asides and satirical songs.

For fans of combative political talk, this episode serves up a Thanksgiving serving of conspiracy, critique, and comedy.
