Key Discussion Points

1. Celebrating Trump’s Recognition & Global Peace Initiatives

• FIFA World Peace Prize to Trump – Rob and Christian kick off with the “shocking” news that Donald Trump has been awarded the first FIFA World Peace Prize during the 2025 World Cup draw, much to the “chagrin of the left.”

• International Praise for Trump

  • [04:36] “But of course, the biggest vote of thanks goes to President Donald Trump.

  • Rob lampoons media double standards and ongoing accusations of racism.

2. Blunt Critique of the Democratic Party & Leftist Narratives

• Rob makes repeated, fiery attacks on the Democratic Party, accusing them of being “evil, evil supreme” and claiming they ignored or enabled crises like the fentanyl epidemic and border chaos to secure political power.

  • [10:13] “It’s a great replacement theory. Yeah, it is. It's replacing Americans with… illegals, giving them large… getting them to vote for… for Democrats. And they didn’t care how many Americans died.”
  • Rob blends outrage with sarcasm and open mockery: “You guys are so just intellectually and morally bankrupt.”

• He promotes the narrative of a worldwide surge in freedom and faith, contrasting it with what he calls the “death spiral into hell” of the Democratic Party.

  • [07:52] “There is a spiritual element to this… freedom movement that is starting here and going around the world, and there’s nothing the left can do about it.”

3. Parody and Satire: Humor with a Political Edge

• Rob shares a parody Christmas song from satirist Jim Gossett, “Have a Holly Somali Christmas,” poking fun at alleged Somali fraud cases in Minnesota and connecting them to politicians like Ilhan Omar.

  • [08:15] Sample lyric: “Have a holly Somali Christmas, millions you can steal. Send that to your starter kids…”

• Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Fraud Allegations – Rob connects Omar to fraud rings, citing sources that claim whistleblowers and state officials knew about the malfeasance.

  • [13:55] “Breaking: Ilhan Omar now panicked after exposed that the owner of a restaurant who held her 2018 election victory party is a part of the Somali convicted fraud ring.”

4. Border Security & Law Enforcement: Progress and Praise

• Rob highlights recent improvements under Trump, including record lows in crime and border crossings, increased drug seizures, and more respect for law enforcement and the military.

  • [19:11] “According to AAA, the national average [gas price] just under $3 a gallon… lowest since May 2020… And then of course Trump’s border streak continues with the best November numbers ever.”
  • Praises law enforcement and the military, and slams Democrats for allegedly vilifying these groups.

• Emotional tribute to National Guard members, including one who died and another injured in a recent attack.

  • [17:58] “I want to pay my highest respects to those two great guardsmen… Sarah, unfortunately, is watching from heaven. Parents are so incredible. And Andrew is hopefully getting better...”

5. Christmas Spirit: Songs, Movies, and Pop Culture Debate

• Rob and guest Christian Toto discuss favorite and least favorite Christmas songs, laugh about the repetitiveness of “Feliz Navidad” and “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.”

  • [22:31] Christian Toto: “There are certain songs… for me, it’s ‘Feliz Navidad,’ which is not a bad song, but it’s about 30 seconds of a great song that they play for like two and a half.”

• Christmas Carol Movie Rankings – Deep dive into the greatest adaptations of Dickens’s classic, from George C. Scott’s 1984 version to Mr. Magoo's and The Muppet Christmas Carol. Rob and Christian share childhood memories and comedic asides.

  • [24:12] Christian Toto: “I think it’s the Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol… As a child, it’s the one that I watched the most, I connected with the most.”
  • [25:19] Rob Carson: “Number one, George C. Scott, 1984. No bones about it, he’s number one. The best Scrooge ever…”

• They reminisce about Christmas music on radio, “Yacht Rock” holiday playlists, and working in the media during the holidays.

• Review of “Facum Hall”

  • Parody film described as “Naked Gun meets Downton Abbey”—Christian recommends it for its first 20 minutes of comedic brilliance.
    • [30:34] Christian Toto: “That’s exactly what it is…that sort of David Zucker combination of whimsy and silliness…the first 20 minutes…was just perfection.”

• Quick discussion of “Christmas movies that aren’t Christmas-y," like "Bad Santa," and a positive plug for family classics like "Elf" and "SpongeBob Christmas.”

[Rob Carson]

You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on web. This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God it is finally Friday. It is snowing in the Washington D.C. area, which I absolutely love because it's gonna be cold. Why the hell not snow, right? Why not snow? So we got an hour of the show to go here. By the way, Donald Trump was in is in Washington D.C. of course, the FIFA World Cup. They draw the names I guess for the FIFA World cup and all of that. And. And by the way, it's coming to where I used to live. Kansas City is going to be there this year. And to the chagrin of the left, in front of 1 billion people worldwide, the FIFA World cup dedicated their first FIFA World Peace prize and they gave it to Donald Trump. I could hear the heads exploding of the left. FIFA, the Federation International, the Football association awards the 2020. That was French, by the way, for the FIFA Federation of Soccer and all that.

[Christian Toto]

FIFA Peace Prize.

[Rob Carson]

Football unites the world. To Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, in recognition of his exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote.

[Christian Toto]

Peace and unity around the world.

[Rob Carson]

Friday, December 5, 2025. Wow.

[Christian Toto]

This is a certificate.

[Rob Carson]

It's yours.

That's kind of cool. That's kind of cool. And then also there's this other thing. I guess he, he, he drew the first. The team that he drew. And this is, this is for real. United States, baby. Shocking. United States of America. Come on, baby.

Little Boston.

By the way, that was posted on TikTok. So, yeah, good news. I mean, it's, it's pretty crazy. It's pretty cool. And Donald Trump secured another peace deal. I don't know if you know about this. He did another peace deal. Let me find my audio here. I got some great audio. Between Rwanda and Congo. Remember Hotel Rwanda? Yeah, yeah. Between Rwanda and Congo, Donald Trump. There's no taking away from this. Democrats.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

So kma, the compact we're signing today, which will be known as the Washington Accords, Everybody sort of liked that name.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

Formalizes the terms agreed to in June, including a permanent cease fire, the disarmament of non state forces, provisions for refugees to return to their homes.

[Rob Carson]

Imagine that.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

Justice and accountability.

[Rob Carson]

I'll do something like that.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

In Somalia, those who have committed illegal atrocities. Very importantly, this agreement also creates a new framework for economic prosperity. There's tremendous wealth in those.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. What did Joe Biden do? Well, he pooped his pants and went to bed at 9 o' clock in the morning. Here is the President of Rwanda thanking Donald Trump.

[Christian Toto]

But of course, the biggest vote of thanks goes.

[Rob Carson]

I believe he is a person of color. Jake Tapper would say he's a white guy.

[Christian Toto]

To President Donald Trump.

[Rob Carson]

Wow.

[Christian Toto]

No one was asking President Trump to take up this task.

Our region.

Is far from the headlines.

But when the President saw the opportunity to contribute to peace.

He immediately took it.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's crazy because Mark Kelly says that Donald Trump is a complete racist and so does every other Democrat in America.

[Christian Toto]

When I heard the secretary say that.

[Rob Carson]

They'Re going to pause immigration from third.

[Christian Toto]

World countries, I mean, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people.

[Rob Carson]

Honestly, you know, you just, you guys are so. Just intellectually and morally bankrupt. And you are. Nobody believes you're crap anymore. Nobody believes your bull crap anymore. And what an amazing time. One of the reasons I moved here was because I wanted to witness history and the next four years are going to be remarkable. What about affordability? You know, shut up. We have a president who is doing more than anyone we've ever seen this. After every SOB in the deep state went after him, they weaponized the doj, the FBI, the tsa, the nsa, the dhs, everybody. They weaponized. They wanted to put him in jail, they wanted to take his fortune. They came up with 91 charges, political charges. After he decided run for president again. I knew he was going to run again and I knew he was going to win again. You know, I knew that the day after the election was stolen in 2020. Oh, I could say that now. I moved here for this history and by God, it is going to be a glorious history of the Democrat party will continue its death spiral into hell because that's where they're going. And you could say all you want, oh, I don't know, we got to get midterm messenger gown and affordability. And all that affordability is happening. By the way, Joe Biden caused inflation to go to the through the ceiling. We all suffered through it. And no amount of lies from the left are going to be able to overcome the truth of the greatness that is happening in this country. As we go into its 250th year, as Freedom spreads around the world, coming to Venezuela, coming to Venezuela, my friends, and then hopefully to Cuba and it's coming back to France and there is a wave of freedom and faith and that is sweeping the world. You know, the number one Google term last year this year was Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk, number one Charlie Kirk. What does that tell you? It's not, it's not evil Democrats saying, yeah, we, we glad he got his throat blown out and he died. No, it's look what they did. Look what they did. There is a spiritual now element to this, this freedom movement that is starting here and going around the world and there's nothing the left can do about it.

With that said, I'm going to play a little piece of satire from Jim Gossett about Somalians in Minnesota stealing lots of money. And they did. You can say it, it's not racist or anything. It's just a whole bunch of them have done it. Jim Gossett, have a holly Somali Christmas. Millions you can steal. Send that to your starter kids.

Hey, Tim Walls, what's the deal? It's a crap hole. Have a holly so Molly Christmas. And in case you didn't hear.

Oh, by golly, have a holly so Molly Christmas this year. Elon Omar, she's in on the theft. It's another reason.

You can't trust.

Holly. Somali Christmas Tim Walls let it take place. Oh, by golly, Tampa. Tim will never, ever save face. There you go. That is Bradley from Jim Gossett. You can help him out by going to patreon.com Jim Gossett comedy patreon.com Jim Goss Buffett comedy let's go to Sean and Live Oak wants to comment about that. Sean, welcome to the Rob Carson show and Merry Christmas.

[Christian Toto]

Greetings from West Libtardia.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[Christian Toto]

And I just came across this article on YouTube and I'm going to forward it to you right now.

[Rob Carson]

Okay.

[Christian Toto]

Not only.

Is there this great fraud committed in Minnesota, there's a loss of life. There's talking about this huge fentanyl. Somali run fentanyl ring in Minneapolis. They took.

[Rob Carson]

Really, really.

[Christian Toto]

And it's huge. I mean, they were able for the chemical signature to see that some of the fentanyl shipments were making it to Maine. So this is looks like a fairly large source of fentanyl coming into the United States that the DEA and the FBI and ICE and US Marshals took down.

[Rob Carson]

Well, you know, this is all part of the. The attempt to overthrow the government to put in a repl. And, you know, it's a great replacement theory. Yeah, it is. It is. It's replacing Americans with. With illegals, giving them large. Yes. Getting them to vote for. For Democrats. And they didn't care how many Americans died. They didn't care. That's why they didn't say a damn fricking thing about the hundreds of people who died of fentanyl poisoning. This Democrat party is evil. Evil, evil supreme. There's nothing good about this Democrat party. There's nothing good about them. They have caused untold damage. Sex trafficking of children, for God's sake. Hundreds of thousands of deaths from fentanyl. And then they stole. And they stole trillions of dollars from us to make sure that our votes became worthless. And when our votes became worthless, if they couldn't do that, they would kill us with fentanyl or kill our young people with fentanyl. I swear to God, Sean, this is unbelievable stuff. I'm gl glad that it's coming out, though.

[Christian Toto]

Yes. And just one other thing on this, the kingpin of this Somali ring.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. Hard to say who it is.

[Christian Toto]

It's a. It's a minor.

He was a minor warlord in Somalia. And really he got up, got out for some reason, and he set up the same kind of operation, kind of.

[Rob Carson]

Like the child Rapist up in, in, in Minneapolis who got out after raping a child and raped another child. I got that story coming up. Sean, I appreciate you, man. I'll look into the story as it develop. But I do appreciate the heads up on that. Yeah, the Democrat Party, they don't give a crap about you and me. And I always wondered, why, why, why, why wouldn't they say anything about all the fentanyl deaths? Why wouldn't they say about all the people coming across the southern border? I mean, we were screaming, my God, look what you're doing. Look what you're doing. Look at all these people coming across the southern border unvetted for disease or crime. Why are you doing this? And now I know. Oh, my God. I never even imagined there was such evil in our government. I never even imagined. And there is no doubt about it. If you disagree with me, please bring it. Please bring it. I would love to hear. Because I will take you down so freaking fast, it's not even funny. Because the Democrat Party, as I've said, is spiraling into hell. And I ain't going to do anything to help stop the spiral. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

I am full of the Christmas spirit and other things. I'll have a blue.

[Christian Toto]

Christmas.

[Rob Carson]

Without you. Come on. I'm in the spirit, baby.

More than a very long time just thinking.

About you. So I think this weekend I'm gonna watch a couple of things. I'm gonna watch George C. Scott 1984 version of Christmas Carol and Scrooge Domino at SOS2 this weekend. That's what I'm gonna do. That's what I'm gonna do. Breaking Ilhan Omar now panicked after exposed that the owner of a restaurant who held her 2018 election victory party is a part of the Somali convicted fraud ring. She also got political donations from him. And she's the one who introduced the legislation to get $250 million for this kid feeding charity in Minnesota. Oh, she gonna be arrested and deported. The whistleblowers that I've spoken to are saying that the governor knew. This is Marianne Rarick. She is a Minnesota state representative.

[Christian Toto]

And the governor and Lute and lieutenant.

[Rob Carson]

Governor and even Chris Schmitter, who was.

[Christian Toto]

His chief of staff, came to them.

[Rob Carson]

As staff and scolded them for pointing out they all knew it.

[Christian Toto]

Told you pride. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar told CNN this.

[Rob Carson]

Week she believes the fraud spiraled out of control because Covid programs were rolled out without sufficient. You knew it was Happening guardrails. It's also worth noting the owner of the restaurant where omar held her 2018 victory party is among those from the Somali community who have been convicted of profit. Jig is up, baby. Jig is up, baby. Democrat Party, it's coming. It is coming. It is coming big. And. And you all are going to get in trouble and it's all being exposed. And you know, I told you the. The left exposes its flank so we can kick their ass. And that's just the case. That is just the case. What I want to do here, What I want to do here. I got some stuff. Yeah, I want to do this. I want to do this. Last night the national Christmas tree was unveiled. I did not go, you know, whatever. I will, I will maybe next year, you know, kind of in a bunch of stuff. But here is the President last night announcing the unveiling and the lighting of.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

The Tonight, this beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the Tonight, this beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the words of Gospel of John. In him was life and that life was the light of all mankind. Beautiful words. With the birth of Jesus, human history turned from night to day. Yes, his word and his example call us to love one another, to serve one another, and to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I wonder if the Democrats are going to bitch and whine about that. What are they going to say?

I told you.

A wave of freedom and faith are going to encircle the world and the Democrat Party is going to do its death spiral into hell. Here is the President thanking those in uniform who the Democrat Party hates. The Democrat Party wanted to defund the police pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. The Democrat Party is calling our ICE agents Gestapo. Thousand percent increase in assaults on them, literally telling our military that they need to disobey the orders of the President of the United States.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

So this Christmas season, let me say thank you to everyone who serves the needy and lifts up the communities inspired by faith. Thank you to the police, law enforcement officers, first responders, ICE and border patrol agents who risk their lives every day to defend the innocent, protect the good and keep the evil in danger at bay. And thank you to the men and women of the United States military, including the brave heroes of our National Guard here in Washington D.C. where we've set a record for lack of crime in 28 years.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, 28 year low of Crime. And it's working. And the Democrat party can't lie big enough to cover it up. I drove by Union Station the other day. They got these giant wreaths, are about 15ft across. And it was just beautiful, just beautiful. I just.

Filled with joy. I tell you what, I just can't even begin to say it. Here he is talking about two National Guard troops who were demonized by the. By the Democrats. They were saying that they might shoot people. You know, they, they don't need to bring the police. They're Nazis, for God's sake. And then a whack job who Joe Biden let in as part of a mass migration of people unvetted from Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban for 20 years, drove across the country to kill one of them. Him. She was only 20 years old and injured another. He was only 24.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

I want to pay my highest respects to those two great guardsmen. You know who I'm talking about. They paid in one case the ultimate and the other. Andrew is getting better. Sarah, unfortunately is watching from a high 20 years old, watching from heaven. Parents are so incredible. And Andrew is hopefully getting better. He got hit hard defending us. And I just want to pay my respects to them. Two incredible people. Unbelievable people. I spoke with the parents and met the parents today, the parents of Andrew. And they have spirit and they love our country so much you wouldn't believe.

[Rob Carson]

So imagine your loss this time of year. Unbelievable. I think we need some good news. Don't you think we need some good news? Let me find the good news. Hold on one second. Where's the good news? Here is the good news. You ready for it? Here we go. Hold on one second. And now we love to. Winning, winning.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

So much winning.

[Rob Carson]

It's lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. Lots of winning. It's so, so good. Yeah, we got a lot of good news. Including the price of gas. The price of gas. Unbelievable. Here is the. Here are the numbers.

[Christian Toto]

Time for the holiday season. Gas prices going down across the country.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. According to AAA, the national average just under $3 a gallon. That's the lowest it's been since May 2020. Remember when Joe Biden was the president? The first year to fill my TR $96 one. Now here in Texas, the average a lot lower than that. 255 a gallon. Now experts say a cheaper blend is coming our way this winter. Even cheaper prices have been dropping as well. From around $81 a barrel in 2022 to nearly $60 in recent weeks. That is pretty amazing. This year have been. That is pretty amazing. And then of course Trump's border streak continues with the best November numbers ever, ever, ever, ever. Fiscal year began in October. Over the first two months, CBP has encountered 60,000 migrants. That's the best start of the fiscal year. 245 apprehensions across the 1954 mile border. By contrast, Biden administration average more than 5,100 apprehensions a day over four years. Worst month, over 8,000 apprehensions a day. He did it on purpose to destroy the country and people suffered. And then here's the good news. CBP is seizing more drugs. 59% increase in fentanyl seizures in November. Methamphetamine seizures rose 118%. Cocaine seizures up 40%. Unbelievable. Lives being saved. Joe Biden and the Democrat party could have given a rat's behind about people who were dying from fentanyl. People who were being raped and trafficked across the southern border. Never forget them. Coal in your stocking for the rest of your mother bleeping lives as you ride in prison. How does that sound? I think it sounds pretty good. Take a break and come back. Christian Toto, Hollywood Nintoto comes up next. Don't go anywhere.

Come on.

Dreaming of a White Christmas.

Yes, Christmas songs could rock. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. I love Christmas music. I, I used to have to work at radio stations. When you, when you work at a radio station that becomes Christmas station, it's the worst thing ever because they only play like 20 songs. They're always the hits. It's always Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole and all that. And it's always the hits. It's always just that, that's it. Twenty and, and one time I worked Cincinnati and we were going up against the, the soft rock, soft rock and let's talk and they always go, they always win. Like Wash FM here in Washington, they go Christmas. And so we were up, going up against the soft AC station over there, yacht rock station. And, and so they went Christmas music on November 1st.

I've never been, you know, suicidal at Christmas, but that was a pretty rough year. I'll just tell it was a, it was a rough year. Joining us on the Newsmax Online, the, the proprietor of Hollywood in Toto, Christian Toto. How you doing, my friend?

[Christian Toto]

November 1st is way too soon.

[Rob Carson]

It was sickening. And, and again you play the same song. This is why I shake it up. I like, I like a lot of different groups. I Like some rock. I like. I like Run dmc, Christmas and Hollis. One of my favorite Christmas songs. And not just because it doesn't give you the goosebumps. It doesn't get you teary eyed, but it's cool, you know?

[Christian Toto]

Yeah, that's enough, man. There are certain songs. Are there Christmas songs that you just would like to never hear again? Because for me, it's Feliz Navidad, which is not a bad song, but it's about 30 seconds of a great song that they play for like two minutes and a half.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, I've got a version of that by. By Jim Gossett that I will play very shortly about deportation of illegals. We'll get to that very shortly. Mine is that stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid song. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Are you freaking kidding me? Whoever liked that song? What? Pretty bad. Oh, and then, you know, listen, Grandma Run over by Reindeer was cute the first decade and now it's like, okay. And they're not really playing it much anymore, are they?

[Christian Toto]

No, I think I've ducked that one for a while. But yeah, there should be songs that just go away for a while, just take a nap.

[Rob Carson]

There are movies. There are movies that you get so tired of, you just don't want to watch them anymore. They're really great movies, but like, Grandma Got run over and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. There was no good reason to like that song. My God, what the hell were you thinking? So let's talk.

I wanted to start this because I know you got a lot of stuff on Hollywoodintoto.com including Facum hall, which looks freaking hilarious. I want to get to that. I want to get to that. But I posed this question to you because it's very important to me. Christmas Carol is the favorite story of my life. It's my favorite story every year. I see it, I love it, I see it, I love it. And I wanted to ask you what you think the best your, let's say, top three, top five, whatever, versions of Christmas Carol. I want to hear what you have to say. Hollywood and Toto's Christian. Toto.

[Christian Toto]

I have a very.

Childish, complete lack of really gravitas choice. And I texted you briefly. I think it's the Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol because as a child, it's the one that I watched the most, I connected with the most. The songs I found endearing. And I think as much as I enjoy the story behind this, it's been done so often, I feel a Little burnout. So I kind of go back to that Magoo.

[Rob Carson]

Mr. Magoo. And since Joe Biden was the president, it's real similar.

[Christian Toto]

Maybe that's why I enjoy it so much.

[Rob Carson]

It brings back old Joe, I think you said. What else did you say? You said another one earlier. What was the other one that you said you really liked, other than Magoo?

[Christian Toto]

There's a Muppets version with Michael Caine as well.

[Rob Carson]

The Muppets. No.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

And.

[Rob Carson]

And Kane was great in that one. Kane was great in that one. Really, really good.

[Christian Toto]

Here's how the actors rise to the occasion when they're starring alongside Muppets, they take it seriously. And I think they just have such affection for the Muppets, as do we all. Phone it in.

[Rob Carson]

It's a silly movie and it's a fun movie. Oh, I just added one. I just added one that I really like, actually, because I have Gen Z kids. Here's my list. Number one, George C. Scott, 1984. Made for Tele. No, no, no bones about it. He's number one. The best. The best Scrooge ever. This way. Number two. I'm gonna go with the Scrooged with Bill Murray. Oh, yeah. I mean, timeless. Timeless. Think of your fellow man, Glenda. My helping. Oh, my God, Alistair.

[Christian Toto]

When that one came out, though, it was not a huge hit. No hype was so overboard that maybe it just didn't land the right way. But it's. It's aged beautifully.

[Rob Carson]

So that's when I saw. When I saw it originally. Well, my initial response was, oh, God, Christmas Carol is beaten to death. Why do we need another version of Christmas Carol? This is the stage of my life. I was like, maybe 19, 20 years old, but it is. It's. It's a. It's a masterpiece. It's a. It's a perfect movie. It's like. It's like Die Hard. Die Hard is a perfect movie. I mean, you could debate whether it's Chris Christmas. I think it is, but. But it's a perfect movie. Perfectly cast, perfect story. You know, best. Best movie villain ever.

Perfect movie. Perfect movie.

[Christian Toto]

And I don't think that's a word you use lightly, by the way.

[Rob Carson]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[Christian Toto]

For a while.

[Rob Carson]

Alistair Sims, 1951. I'm gonna go down to number three. I think that's really good. 1971's Albert Finney. That one's. That one's really good. Good. Yeah.

[Christian Toto]

These actors. I think these actors. The secret sauce. Here we have people of consequence who can really drill into the car. I mean, I think that's one of the many reasons why they keep telling the story again is it's. The redemption arc is so magnificent.

[Rob Carson]

Yes. And they keep reinventing the story. They reinvent the story. Number five is Muppet for me, dude. Number five is number six. Are you ready for this? Patrick Stewart, 1999.

[Christian Toto]

Oh, I have not seen that one, but he's a great actor.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, number seven. This isn't really Scrooge, but it's the SpongeBob Christmas movie. Live action. It's. It's really funny. Have you seen it? You don't have Gen Z kids. Oh, it's so funny. Don't be a jerk. It's Christmas. I just threw that in there. Certainly not. I'm gonna go with number number the next one. Jim Carrey, 2009, the anime.

I thought it was very good. I thought it was very good. I can only watch it every few years, but I thought it was very good. And I'll just say rapping out the top 10. You may disagree because my son thinks this movie is dumb, but it came out like last year or the year before it. Spirited with. With Will Ferrell and Ryan. Ryan Reynolds.

[Christian Toto]

You know, I need to watch that again because I didn't love it the first time.

[Rob Carson]

I know.

[Christian Toto]

Kind of a revisiting for me.

[Rob Carson]

I'm gonna watch it again. I'm gonna. I'm gonna watch it again. I'm gonna watch it again. I do want to get to other stuff here, including Facom Hall. Be careful when you say that on the radio because it's. It's a. It's a parody of. Of Dudson Abbey. Right? Dutton Abbey. Yeah, yeah. Which by the way, and I've said this. If you watch as a man Downton Abbey with your wife, it. Or girlfriend, it's two apologies. It is worth two apologies. You're clear for two apologies. So we'll talk about on the other side of the break with Christian Toto on the Rob Carson show. Back in a few.

Ring a ring, it's called. It's cold. Cold. It's frightfully cold. Please.

Please, Mr. Scrooge, please.

One piece of coal, Mr. Scrooge. It's cold. I'm upper so cold. I gotta tell you, that's pretty good. That's pretty good theater right there. That's Jim Backus as Mr. Scrooge 1962's Christmas Carol that Christian Toto says is one of his favorite if his fame. Actually, I'd forgotten how good that is. That's really good. Yeah.

[Christian Toto]

You know, that was actually. That might be the best Christmas gift I get all season. Were you playing that song for me?

[Rob Carson]

Well, that's all you're getting from me.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

That's it.

[Christian Toto]

That's more than enough.

[Rob Carson]

No, you know, I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to watch it again. But that really was good. And Jim Backus was a hell of an actor, Mr. Howell, on. On Gilead's island, of course.

Among the other things that he did. Did.

[Christian Toto]

Yeah. My favorite line from them on the show was, people say money, you can't buy money with. You can't buy happiness with money. Don't know where to shop. I think that's what it was.

[Rob Carson]

Hell, yes. 100%. Couldn't agree with the more. I can't tell you how much. Having a little money in the bank account versus being broke. It. You know, I had. I was on antidepressants and that. Turns out if you quit drinking, you have a job. You don't need them.

So let's talk about Facum Hall. Fackham Hall. What, like Naked Gun meets Dunton Abbey?

[Christian Toto]

That's exactly what it is. And, you know, I have to say, I watched the first 20 minutes and I laughed and I laughed. Oh, my gosh. They finally got the formula right. Someone did that sort of David Zucker combination of whimsy and silliness. And then the rest of the movie is fine, and it's good. And I did laugh and I did enjoy it overall. But that first 20 minutes, that first blast of comedy was just perfection. So it can sustain. It doesn't hold up. But it's an enjoyable film. And if you see the trailer, it's very funny. But it's not one of those cases where all the good jokes are in the trailer. There's a lot more to be seen, so definitely recommend it. It just, you know, I think, to me, it made me revisit and reevaluate Naked Gun, Top Secret Airplane, because they're so good, they're so consistent. They never. They never let out.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Did you see the. I haven't. I haven't seen the Liam Neeson version of Naked Gun.

[Christian Toto]

It's very good. It comes close again. It doesn't really have the sustaining power where the last half hour is just as funny as the first, but it's surprisingly funny. And I think they get that sentiment, right? That sort of silly, goofy. They're gonna throw a dozen jokes at you in any given moment. And some of these silly, some will be bad. Some of me make you grown and some of them gonna make you. How that's a good combination.

[Rob Carson]

All right, well, I'm gonna see. I'm gonna see. Where, where can you see Facham hall, where is that available?

[Christian Toto]

It's in limited release right now, so not in as many theaters as a major wide release, but it's in some theaters and I suspect it'll probably pop on video on demand very soon. I think it's one of those titles. It's not gonna, not gonna stick around too long. It's a minor release, but you know what? Very funny.

[Rob Carson]

What do you think of movies? Christmas movies that are not Christmasy? Like Christmas horror movies or what was that awful movie that Billy Bob Thornton did? The Santa Claus, Whatever the hell he was. This offensive and terrible Santa Claus. I couldn't watch that piece of crap. What do you think about those movies?

[Christian Toto]

Sorry, you know, it's not directly for me, but I have to say, if you're bludgeoned by sweet, friendly, family friendly, nice Christmas movies, it's, it's a bit of a tonal change. It kind of, you know, it spikes the punch a bit. So I think, I think there's a place for it. I think they've gone overboard with it. There are a lot of horror movies where Santa's the killer or there's some sort of of, you know, Christmas related monster going around. So, you know, I think enough is enough. But again, I think once you've had your fill of Yuletide cheer. Yeah, you want a little different. So I think that it's, it's, it fits a purpose. But I, I go back to elf.

[Rob Carson]

I can't, you know that.

[Christian Toto]

That's my go.

[Rob Carson]

You know what, dude? I didn't mention Elf. Elf is in my top 10. Elf is definitely. Why did I even forget Elf Christmas.

[Christian Toto]

Movies versus Christmas Carol. I mean, they're sort of, well, Christmas.

[Rob Carson]

You're right. You're right, you're right. I was thinking Christmas Carol. You're out again. I get my streams crossed. But I will tell you as far as favorite Christmas movie of all time. It's 1984. Christmas Carol with.

Elf is way up there and you ought to. How old are your kids?

[Christian Toto]

14 and 16.

[Rob Carson]

14, 16. It may not be too late to watch Spongebob Christmas. I'm not kidding. It's really good. It's really funny.

[Christian Toto]

Consistent, man. I love that whole franchise.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's about SpongeBob. They have this. Plankton comes up with this fruitcake that makes people evil and awful and everything. And it's really funny. And then they'll eat this and they'll just become awful. And then, you know, here's spongebob all happy and everything. And it's really, really funny. I gotta tell you. It's really well done. I know. They just did a new version, a new Christmas movie with spongebob. I would feel real weird sitting in my apartment by my watching it.

But you might. You might watch it with the kids. You might watch it with the kids. Christian Toto, as always, great to have you on. Where can people see all your glorious work, hear your podcast, etc.

[Christian Toto]

My home on the web is Hollywoodintoto.com or you can check me out on Twitter. Same handle, hollywoodintoto.

[Rob Carson]

All right, thank you, my friend. I appreciate you have a glorious week. We'll talk again soon. All right, Talk again soon. Where is that song? I promised you a song. Oh, yes, I promised you a song. I promised you a song from Jim Gossett. Let me, let me set it up. Let me set it up. Because Pramila Jayapal saying really stupid crap about Donald Trump deporting illegals and the Democrat party hates it because their gravy train is ending. Here she is saying that being undocumented is not a crime. Even though it's a crime.

[Christian Toto]

Being undocumented is not not a crime. It's a point I've been making a lot lately.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, it is. It is a crime. It is a crime anywhere else in the world. They will kick your ass right the hell out of those countries, including in Mexico. And that's where I'm gonna play this Christmas classic from Jim Gossett on the Rob Carson show. Literally did this a couple years ago, but I think like 1984's police, pack your bags. Ms. Carol, this is worth it. Police, pack your bags.

Police pack your bags. Cause Trump won and you are headed back. Hasta la vista. Please grab your coat. It's that racist. Please get your hat. You just can't live here. You're here illegally.

[Christian Toto]

And that settles that.

[Rob Carson]

GTF Autotrende Arcqua and say goodbye to your friend Kamala. You'll have to find someone else to follow. Cost trust Trump's not on your side. Timeless. Felice us no more.

Felice us no more.

You'll police us no more. Cause it's time for you to hit the door. Thank you. I want to wish you deportation. Deportation. Mexico is your destination. Or Venezuela. We'll even provide the transportation. We're about to kick you out. There you go. That is a timeless plaza. Just like you know, Scrooge 1984 with George C. Scott. Timeless classic here on the Rob Carson show. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.

Brian, why do you do this to me?

It's my favorite song.

My favorite Christmas song.

I'll explain why at a later date. Let's not do it now. Gold is at 4225 this week. 4225. It paused a little right about 4000, but it rose from last January when it was 2600. You know, it's tempting you. It's teasing you. It's going, why are you not putting your IRA or 401k in gold with Burt's gold? What the heck are you thinking? Do I have to smack you up side of the head? Do you have to be visited by three spirits for God's sake for you to wake up Christmas morning and go, oh, my God, gold is awesome. This is kind of a stretch.

Right now. If you buy gold from merch gold, actually you invest in gold from merch gold. For every $5,000 you get an ounce of silver. Silver is up 60% this year. Gold is up from 2,600 to 4,200 like I just said. But it's only going on until the 22nd, so you better get on it right now. And you know how to do it. It's easy. Just text my name, Rob to 989-898. Rob to 989-898. Get on that. They're going to send you information and you're going to be eligible for that free silver. You know, there are a lot of things happening right now. A lot of things are happening right now. Uncertainty. And of course central banks are buying gold. It's not going down in value, kids. It's going to go up and up and up and up and up. And you want it to be $10,000 next year because if it keeps this trajectory, you're looking at six, seven grand gold. I would recommend you do it. And I'm not screwing around because my money is in it. Text Rob to 989-898 for a free info kit. Get eligible for free silver here is from Birchgold army vet Ed Bombas, 88 years old. He was working at a grocery store and this Australian influencer met him and he said, why are you working, sir?

[Christian Toto]

What was your name?

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

Ed.

[Christian Toto]

I'm Sam.

[Rob Carson]

Okay. I actually had someone nominate you for.

[Christian Toto]

Me this store and said you're very hard working.

[Rob Carson]

Well, I try to be. May I ask how old you are? I'm 88 and still working. Yes, I have to. Why do you have to keep working? Retired from General Motors in 99, 2012.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

They went bankrupt and they took my.

[Rob Carson]

Pension away from me. Oh, my gosh. Do you have a wife?

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

She passed away seven years ago.

[Christian Toto]

Seven years ago.

[Guest Speaker / Official (e.g., President or Representative)]

She was sick when I lost my pension.

[Rob Carson]

So you've been struggling a bit? Bit. A little bit.

[Christian Toto]

You said that you lost your pension.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, sir, I did. I wasn't. So this influencer got online, did a GoFundMe. It's about a million five.

Ed Bombas won't have to work again.

This is one of the good things that happens online. You guys help my brother David. My brother David with cancer. You. You gave him a $8,000 that I didn't have.

Give to the Salvation Army. Don't walk by a kettle, all right? And watch my TV show, Rob Carson's what in the World on Sunday night. Go to newsmaxtv.com for listings. God bless you. America is founded. Donald Trump as he makes America greater. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah. And until Monday, do not catch the stupid. I'll.
