Host: Rob Carson
Guests: Winsome Sears, Christian Toto, Eric Trump

Overview

In this lively and pointed Friday edition, Rob Carson delivers an impassioned critique of political and cultural hypocrisy—taking aim at the "Deep State," recent legal actions involving high-profile political figures, and Hollywood's leftward drift. Joined by guests Winsome Sears, Christian Toto, and Eric Trump, Carson uses biting humor and parody to underscore broader issues of accountability, selective prosecution, and media dishonesty. The episode also ventures into contemporary pop culture, with a critical lens on late-night television, the entertainment industry's political bias, and Halloween movie recommendations.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Indictments and Accountability in Politics

[00:57–05:26]

• Letitia James Indictment:
  Carson discusses the grand jury indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James for fraud, linking it to past prosecutions of figures like Jim Comey. He frames these as matters of "accountability," not "retribution":

  • "It's not about any sort of retribution. It is about accountability and her breaking the law." (Rob Carson, [00:57])

• Selective Prosecution Debate:
  Winsome Sears points out the pattern of targeting Donald Trump—suggesting the charges against him were politically motivated:

  • "Her entire career is built on the selective prosecution of one man." (Winsome Sears, [04:46])

• Media Complicity:
  Carson accuses the media of knowingly perpetuating false narratives to justify legal actions against Trump:

  • "They knew in real time what they were doing to Donald Trump was a lie... They only did it for a talking point." (Rob Carson, [05:26])

2. Deep State Allegations and FBI Scrutiny

[05:26–16:03]

• FBI Director Wray under Investigation:
  Carson recounts new federal investigations into former FBI Director Christopher Wray and ex-CIA Director John Brennan, highlighting alleged mishandling and destruction of sensitive documents, and drawing connections to the Durham Special Counsel investigation.

• FBI's Political Weaponization:
  He discusses Operation Arctic Frost and the firing of FBI agents for reportedly spying on Republican senators, noting broad claims of the FBI being weaponized against political opponents.

• January 6th FBI Infiltration:
  Carson references whistleblower testimony about undercover FBI agents during the Capitol riots, accusing the FBI of lying under oath.

• Rhetoric Intensifies:
  With characteristic hyperbole, Carson insists on accountability:

  • "Hell is coming for what you did. How you abuse the system. It's coming. There's nothing you can do about it." (Rob Carson, [05:26])

3. Comparison of Legal Actions Toward Trump vs. Biden

[16:03–17:00]

• Eric Trump Interview:
  Eric Trump, echoed by Carson, argues that the Trump administration never weaponized legal or media means against the Bidens:

  • "Did we raid Biden's home? ... Did we make up a dirty dossier about Biden?" (Eric Trump, [16:03])

  • Carson summarizes the double standard:

    • "Bullcrap. To jail with all of you. And guess what? ... They've been worried about it ever since. That's why they tried to kill Donald Trump twice." (Rob Carson, [17:00])

4. Gender Policy and Cultural Flashpoints

[17:00–19:57]

• Locker Room Controversy:
  Carson and guests critique policies allowing transgender individuals into women’s locker rooms, highlighting parental concerns and referencing a viral account from a mother in Washington state:

  • "It's about time dads went in and grabbed those jackasses by the hair and dragged them out. I am not kidding. Enough is enough is enough." (Rob Carson, [19:24])

• Political Debate Highlights:
  Winsome Sears challenges Abigail Spamberger (VA gubernatorial candidate) on her stance regarding locker room access—a moment of silence from Spamberger is used as a sign of inadequate leadership.

5. Media & Hollywood Critique: Focus on Jimmy Kimmel and Antifa

[22:00–31:07]

• Jimmy Kimmel Claims & Hollywood Hypocrisy:
  Carson and Christian Toto (Hollywood in Toto) blast Jimmy Kimmel for denying the reality of Antifa and allegedly spreading misinformation:

  • "I'm just furious that this guy goes on the air and lies and lies and lies. ... Antifa is real. It exists. It hurts people." (Christian Toto, [23:01])
  • "His addiction is leftist politics that have killed his ratings." (Rob Carson, [23:28])

• Late-Night Decline:
  The duo discusses the shrinking audience and lasting impact:

  • "He lost 71% of his audience in one week. ... They just keep him on the network as some sort of middle finger to Donald Trump." (Rob Carson, [23:46])
  • "He's untouchable right now. ... I think they're genuinely okay losing lots and lots of money." (Christian Toto, [24:28])

• Spread of Misinformation:
  The concern is that soft-left viewers absorb Kimmel’s political opinions as fact, which distorts public perception on groups like Antifa and high-profile events:

  • "He's not even a comedian anymore. ... it's an op-ed, essentially. It's like MSNBC light." (Christian Toto, [27:19])

• Personal Account of Andy Ngo:
  Carson shares a heartfelt story about meeting journalist Andy Ngo, a victim of Antifa violence:

  • "He is a walking wounded man... he wasn't even a leftist when he started. ... All of his illusions have been shattered." (Rob Carson, [29:09])

6. Alternative Super Bowl Halftime Shows & Pop Culture

[31:07–33:53]

• Super Bowl Talk:
  Carson jokes about Lee Greenwood and suggests more diverse (and less overused) artists like Metallica, Creed, or Nickelback for future halftime shows. He backs Turning Point USA's idea for an alternative halftime show:

  • "Wouldn't Metallica or Creed be great? ... I would turn from Bad Bunny. I'm not gonna watch Bad friggin Bunny." (Rob Carson, [31:56])

• Hollywood Sequel Fatigue:
  Toto and Carson critique lackluster sequels like the new "Tron" movie and share their struggles with movie franchises that can't capture past magic.

7. Halloween Movie Recommendations

[33:53–36:36]

• Best Halloween Thrillers:
  Christian Toto recommends:

  • "The Descent" – Modern horror classic involving caving.
  • "Splinter" – Lo-fi creature horror with indie sensibility.
  • "Misery" – Stephen King adaptation noted for its psychological terror.
  • "Arachnophobia" – The ultimate spider thriller.
  • Carson laments his inability to watch "Misery" or "Arachnophobia" due to their intensity.

• Book Satire:
  Rob jokes about Kamala Harris’ imagined “100 Days” book as “the scariest book of the season.”
