This is the Rob Carson show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to the show. Please come inside and have a seat and, or whatever you're doing, you can stand. I don't care. But glad to have you here on the, the show that I think the only, I don't think, I can't think of another show, conservative radio program or any political show that does comedy like this. Was thinking about this. It's kind of like if Gutfeld and Rush Limbaugh had a, had a love child. So kind of like that. Anyway, a lot of stuff coming up. My TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World. It's on Sunday night on Newsmax at 8:30. It's following the Michael Savage Show. So for Michael Savage listeners, you get a little whiplash when you go from Michael Savage to Rob Carson, Michael Savage, Dr. Michael Savage thinks my show is hilarious, by the way. He actually came back on the radio a couple years ago. He has no other radio shows. He did a return to radio just for this show because the good doctor loves my television show. So watch it this weekend, 8:30 on Sunday. And if you get a Newsmax plus membership, you can see the archive of the shows, which is always fun. And we're going to be gearing up. We do, we're going to do a Thanksgiving show, we're going to Christmas show and all that. And, and then we're making some cool changes in the show. Yeah, there's some things happening. So anyway, check it out. Go to newsmaxtv.com or you can go to Newsmax plus and get a membership there. Newsmax. Just doing a great job. They're doing a great job. You know, to, to start the next hour here, I want to start with Abigail Spamberger. She's running for governor in the state of Virginia against Winsome Sears, who's a good and decent person. Abigail Spamberger is a Karen. She's a liberal Karen, just as left as left can be. She's down with the lgbtq, rstuv, wxyz, radical nonsense in schools, you know, crt, yay, dei, all of that. She is as left as left can be. She is a typical faculty lounge Marxist. So is her little lieutenant governor candidate, Gazella Hazmi. She's radical left. And yesterday, Abigail Spamberger, she, she released a word salad that would actually make Kamala Harris's Word salads pale by comparison. So what I'm doing here, and this, I'm not kidding here, this, I'm gonna not play the entire answer, but I'm gonna come back to it. I'm gonna let it play continually in the background. Okay, but you're not going to hear it. Okay, I'm just going to come back to it. All right. Does that make sense to you? I'm going to try and make this, make this, this happen. But here is Abigail Spam Burger. It's Spam Barger or no, what is it? Spam Burger. But I call her Spam Burger. I just want you to know that. But anyway, here's the question from Katie Couric and the answer that goes on forever.
C
The recent presidential race and now in the gubernatorial race in Virginia has been transgender rights. And your opponent, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears, has been advocating banning trans girls from sports. And I'm just curious why you think this has become such an animating issue in this race and in other races. And what are your thoughts on. On youth sports allowing trans athletes to participate?
D
Well, I think that we see, and I mean, it's about $30 million worth of attack ads against me related to trans youth.
A
Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pop that down here, and then it's going to let the tape roll here. And I'm just going to come back to it because I'm literally, when I come back, she's still answering the question, but she never answers the question. Here is something I want to mention, though. The number of students identifying as non binary drops nearly half years. Fewer young people are identifying as non binary. You know why? Because it was all a psyop to take advantage of children who were. Who were tortured by Covid. Nonsense. Yeah. And teenage girls who were troubled anyway. And they said, oh, yeah, well, the reason why you're so sad isn't because, you know, we separated you with COVID and everything, and, and you boys calling you are your masculinity toxic and everything. It's because you might be the opposite sex or you might be non binary, which never existed before, meaning you don't have a sexuality. So just incredibly stup. Eric, let's see if the answer is still going. Hold on one second. Hold on.
D
Honan is trying to, you know, even copy some of the language. You know, the. Notably the quote unquote, you know, is for they. Them elements of that.
A
Yeah, there you go. Okay. Still going, still going. She's still talking. Eric Kaufman professor of Politics, University of Buckingham combined multiple student surveys the decline of trans and queer identity among young Americans because it was a giant psyop. He also included information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2023 survey of US school students. The FIRE survey pulled 50,000 undergraduates, mostly a major. Research universities found that 3.6% of students identified as a gender other than male or female, meaning they're mentally ill, down from 5.2% in 2024, 6.8% in 2023, right there towards the end of COVID when their lives had been Destroyed. Phillips Academy. 3% of students identified as non binary this year compared to 7.4 two years ago. Brown University drop reported 2.6% of its students identified as neither male or FE, down from 5% both in 2022 and 2023. You remember when acid wash jeans were around, like in the late 80s, early 90s. Those were around for a while. This is the. The acid wash jeans of 2025. Hold on, let's see if she's still answering the question. Hold on. Here it is.
D
With or against kids who are trying to figure out who they are, who are in, you know, a challenging point in their life. Middle school and high school isn't easy for. For most people.
A
Okay, okay, there you go. That's. They still. That's still the same. I'm letting the tape roll. That's still her answering that question. It. This is for real. Let's move on the FIRE survey. Let me see. Kaufman notes that the number of those who identify as non binary, gender queer or questioning or unsure, not transgender. Identifying people who identify as male or female. About 2.8 people in the US identify as transgender and they're insane. Including 724,000 minors, according to the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. In. In summary, Kauffman says their findings pointed out that only 3.6% of young adults identify as gender other than male or female. Again, they're insane. A steady decline compared to 5.2% last year, 6.8% in 2023. Let's see if she's still talking.
D
Certainly not by the federal government or, you know, the state government. And I say that actually, you know, in. And talking to my daughters, trying to gauge their opinions of things and you know, they, they somewhat. One of them somewhat comically said, like, nobody likes to use the bathroom at school anyway. It's so messy and you know, everybody's loud, etc. And so, you know, in some circumstances, you know, there's there's single use.
A
All right, I'm gonna come back to that again. I'm letting it roll right now. We're about three and a half minutes into it. Jason Miars demands that Jay Jones ouster after court do indicates reckless driving case under further criminal probe. The attorney general candidate Jason Biarris blasted Democrat challenger Jay Jones after a court battle indicating the probe into Jones I 64 reckless driving arrest where, by the way, he was given a whole bunch of. A bunch of community service. He had a thousand hours of community Service for driving 116 miles an hour. And what he did is he did 500 hours through his own political action committee, and then the remaining 500 hours were logged for the NAACP of Virginia, which is a leftist organization. And he probably didn't have to do anything there, maybe seal some envelopes, lick some envelopes or something, you know. Legal documents obtained by Fox News in October did not indicate whether time logs were also filed with the sworn certificates of completion of five hours of work. So he didn't do anything. He didn't do 1000 hours of community service. He said he did. He didn't log the time. He's a. He's a criminal. You know, he's a creep. And he also then threatened House Speaker Todd Gilbert of. Of Shenandoah, Virginia with murder. Said he fantasized about murdering him and his children. Let's see if Abigail Spamberger still talks.
D
Of, you know, there it is. Horrible crimes.
A
Oh, my God.
D
Because they sort of want to bucket. You know, threats are all about. And I. For me, I think that, you know, what I have found is I've had a lot of conversations with people along the campaign trail, and there's a lot of people who aren't really sure how they feel about the issue.
A
But.
D
But ultimately what matters most to them is that they want all of our kids.
A
Transgender swimmer banned for five years after general test refusal Blames insurance costs. It's another story. I want to.
D
I'll just let her finish up, but, you know, I don't have to. I just want. I want kids to be safe. I want them to learn, and then I want them to go get a. Go get a job. And I think it's in. In those types of really human conversations, another 30 seconds, you'll find that community members are far more inclined to do each other.
A
No, it's not fair for boys to compete with girls.
D
Apprehensions are really. It's bizarre kind of harder personal topics, but then also grace to kids who are the ones, frankly, who are you know, trying to figure out who they are or in some cases trying to tell the adults in their life who they are. So it's, it's a, it's an interesting time. And the television ads certainly are creative.
A
Dear God. That's the, that's the answer to the damn question that happened seven minutes ago. You know who drove this movement? You know who drove this transgender nonsense movie? Crazy cat. Cat cul de sac dwelling cat ladies.
E
We're going to use fascist talking points. Be ready to be called a fascist.
A
You are the Fourth Reich and we are the resistance. And one more time, when my trans family is under attack, I'm going to.
D
Stand up, fight back, get ready.
F
This blatantly ignores science.
D
I'm queer. I'm the mom of a trans kid and I'm an elementary school teacher.
A
I would like to point out that by eliminating a minor preferred pronouns is racist and Christian centric. Using pronouns is. This is all just a bunch of crap and I predicted it years ago. Thank you very much. I hate this.
G
Well, they have a lot of cats and they're mostly Democrats like Beepee Harris, Jim Gossett. They cry when they lose from their left wing views. I wish they'd spare us.
A
Come on, say it with me.
G
They're cat ladies. Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're cat ladies. Talking about some miserable ladies.
A
Who have.
G
Clearly lost their mind.
A
People that are pro life. I'm nailed.
G
Got called out by J.D. vance when he had the chance. He really nailed them.
A
Nail em good.
G
They're too dumb to know. Kamala and Joe have really failed them.
F
Come on.
A
Cat ladies.
G
They're cat ladies. Don't have a child. Their cat lady.
A
No kings protest.
G
Talking about some miserable ladies.
A
Elon Musk protest.
G
Who are out of their mind.
A
There you go. That is Jim Gossett. That's what. That's it. That's. That's who's running for governor against Citarelli in New Jersey. That's what's running in Virginia for governor and, and lieutenant governor. Crazy cat ladies. Liberal cul de sac dwelling Karens. That's what it is. And I think this year is going to be the end of the Karen, to be quite honest. Back to the HOA with you. Go back and you know, ride people's butts about, mold on their siding. But you have no business. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.
E
Relentlessly.
A
Slowing the spread of the stupid every day. It's the Rob Carson Show Focus on sexual explicit material. I don't really care about that. I care about the gratuitous violence that children are. That is Ghazala Hajmi. She's running for lieutenant governor as a Democrat in the state of Virginia. And John Reed is running as a Republican. That is a statement she made in 2023 during a public education subcommittee discussion on a bill that would give parents greater access to their child's materials and activities and allow them to challenge content in court and necessary, in other words, the radical LGBTQIA plus sexualization of your children nonsense that Virginia rejected that she wants to bring back. John Reed joins us on the Newsmax hotline. John, how you doing, my friend?
F
I'm great. I'm glad that we've got videotaped now. You know, what you say if you are a radical is going to come back to haunt you. And this lady is saying you don't care whether little kids see porn in the elementary schools. Are you kidding me?
A
That's.
F
I think every normal parent, even if you're left of center, is going to say, now, wait a minute, I, I'm not, you know, a conservative, but come on, we're not going to go with that. And I'm gonna make sure people know about it.
A
It's unbelievable. And this, you know, she's living in the past, by the way. And so is, so is her gubernatorial candidate, Spamberger. Did you hear, by the way, do you hear her seven minute answer where she never answered about transgendered, well, boys who become girls in girls locker room when he entered. When she interviewed Katie Couric.
F
That's right. Because she knows that most Virginians are not in alignment with her on these issues.
E
She.
A
Seven minutes. Seven minutes. She didn't say. I just played it last break. I went through the entire break and I would just come back to her answer that just rambled and meandered. She never did, dude, I'm telling you. And John, they just did this new study. A number of students identifying as non binary has dropped nearly half in two years because it was a fad phase. Psyop. And the two women who are running for governor and lieutenant governor in the Democrat Party are still living in this.
F
That's right. And imagine that normal young people would see the scars and realize that having your penis, testicles or breasts cut off might not be that fun. Right? That's not, that's not cool. That's not fun. No matter what the Democrats try to tell you, probably not a good plan for your future. Thank God people are sobering up. And I'm glad there's some Adults. And I'm one of them who for years has been saying, this is insanity and it has to stop.
A
Yeah, but you're a. You're a transphobe and a homophobe. Oh, wait, you can't call me a homophobe.
F
I love it when they try that. I love it. I love it when they try to call me a homophobe. They call me a racist, and I point out who my partner is for the last time.
A
Because you look in the mirror and you go, oh, I'm scared.
F
That's right. Knock it all down. Everything they try to use to shut up conservatives, I push right back in their face.
A
You know what's.
F
I'm tired of it.
A
I know. Me, too. And you know what's really funny? Like, Scott Bessford is the first gay treasury secretary. And you know why he doesn't make a big deal out of it? Because nobody cares. It doesn't matter. You just a great treasury secretary. The same goes. You're the first openly gay man running for public office, like, statewide in Virginia, right?
F
That's correct.
A
Yeah. Do you make a big deal out of it? Do you make it a big. You're checking some boxes. Who cares?
F
I don't lead with it. The only reason I even bring it up is shut down the Democrats. And because if I don't bring it up, people think I'm being sneaky. And I'm not going to have anybody thinking I'm being sneaky. So I just lay it on the table. And I hope that people will judge me for my character and my. My business and professional and personal successes. And I think that should carry the day. I hope.
A
I saw a brief poll, you and Gazella, and it's like neck and neck. In fact, I think you may be ahead by 2/10 of a point, which is pretty crazy. And if you look at normal polling, it usually underpulls Republicans, always. By the way, same goes with. With the gubernatorial race and Jason Mears pull out from Jay Jones. What have you. What have you heard and what are you. What are you seeing when you're out and meeting people?
F
My friend, three polls that show that we're tied, and I'm hoping you're right, that it's under sampling conservative. But, you know, there is a growing enthusiasm that we're going to pull off a big upset on Tuesday because, you know, if you talk to people, two months ago, there were a lot of folks who were very negative. And you know what I do when people get negative? I start working even harder. And I have not taken a day off since January 27th. I have gone to places that nobody else wants to go because they think they're no Republican votes. You know, last week I was at this dinner with the Crusade for Voters, which has been around since before Martin Luther King in Virginia. And everyone said, oh my God, John, why are you doing that? You've been a sponsor for the dinner and you're going to the dinner. And I said, yeah, I'm going to go. Because you know what? Black Virginians and I have a lot in common and I'm going to stand up for them. I'm going to do a good job for them. And I think if they get a chance to meet me and hear me talk and I can listen to them and their concerns, we're going to find a lot of common ground and I think I can earn some votes. Maybe not all of them, maybe not the majority, but they're open minded people who are willing to listen to Republicans if we'll just put in the effort. And that's what I'm willing to do.
A
Well, I, I'm, I'm optimistic about the future of the country. Yesterday, it's amazing. Meeting with Donald Trump and some of his, you know, law enforcement talking about how they cleaned up Washington D.C. memphis crime is down 50%. You know, I did this report in Maryland. I saw, you know, Maryland has lost 2 million residents. Other people have moved in but, but younger people are moving out. They don't want to be a part of it. We cannot let Virginia become Maryland. My God in heaven, are you kidding? Maryland, the, the sky is the limit for Virginia and I think you're the person who's going to take us there, brother.
F
I'm going to do my best and I'm glad that we've got, we've had a stable, good, solid governor for the last four years. You know, Glenn Youngkin saw what the Democrats were doing complaining about the government shutdown and how damaging Virginia's economy, which is true. But then they go in. Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, our two Democrat senators go in and what do they do? Vote to keep the government closed down.
A
Listen, we've got it, we've got it. We've got to run. I know Young IT is working on the SNAP benefits for Virginians real quick. Where can people go to help you out, man? Come on.
F
John Reed for virginia.com J O H N R E I D for virginia.com I appreciate it, Rod.
A
God bless. Godspeed over the weekend, my friend. I appreciate you and I think we're gonna have a victory. I really hope so. Alright, let's take a break and come back from Hollywood in Toto Christian. Toto joins us on the other side of the break. And this is the Rob Carson show. Hey guys, it's Carson. Forget fresh olive oil. I eat olive oil every day. I got rid of seed oils years ago. Life is too short to not have wonderful fresh olive oil. And I fresh olive oil packs the most flavor and healthy ingredients when it's fresh from the farm. And that's the problem with supermarket olive oils. They're not fresh. They could sit on the shelf for months growing stale. That's why I get my olive oil from small, award winning farms thanks to a fellow named T.J. robinson, also known as the olive oil hunter. When I tasted TJ Farms fresh olive oils, I fell in love with their vibrant, grassy flavors. They were incredibly delicious on salad, veggies, pasta, meat, fish, you name it. And as an introduction to his fresh pressed Olive Oil Club, TJ is willing to send you a full size $39 bottle up one of the world's finest artisanal olive oils fresh from the new harvest for just $1 to help him cover shipping.

E
Halftime performer.
H
He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world. That's what we try to achieve. It's an important stage for us.
A
This is Roger Goodell talking about Bad Bunny.
H
It's an important element to the entertainment value. It's carefully thought through. I would say that I'm not sure we've ever selected an artist where we didn't have some blowback or criticism. It's pretty hard to do it when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching. But we're confident it's going to be a great show.
A
Yeah, I'm confident that I'm not going to be watching it. Bad Bunny at the super bowl for a number of reasons. A, nobody knows his music. You're old. No. Really? No, Nobody really knows his music. He might be popular internationally. Most of his songs are in SP and he also dabbles in transgenderism and he hates America. So honestly, screw you, Roger Goodell. You woke nonsense in the NFL. You're still doing that virtue signaling in the, in the end zones like I never thought about. Hey, maybe ending racism would be a good thing. Oh, thank you. NFL derp, derp, derp. Honestly, just pull your heads out of your rear ends and play, play football. Christian Toto joins us on the Newsmax hotline. He of course, has this glorious site, Hollywood in. Toto does a podcast as well. Hello, my friend. How are you today?
E
I'm good. You know, it's not 2020. We don't have to make these choices anymore. We can be a more mainstream entertainer.
A
But I, you know, think about all that. Think about this. You could have Creed. Okay, I know Creed. Somebody. Love, love or hate, you could have. I'd say the Foo Fighters I mentioned, they probably wouldn't appear, but there were a host of hell, Kid Rock. Kid Rock. But you know, I think a lot of people are going to go and I know TP usa, they're talking about doing their own show. Christian. That's where I'm going to be, bro. I'm not going to be, I'm not going to be watching it. I'm not going to be watching Bad Bunny. I don't care about Bad Bunny.
E
Yeah, listen, it doesn't open up opportunities. And we've seen this the last, gosh, 10 years or so now where, yeah, if Hollywood is going to swing far to the left and they're going to ignore half the country, then the other half can make art. We can do things, we can share stories, we can write movies, we can create stuff that doesn't exist. And look at Gustav. I mean, and how long, how did it take for late night TV to a right leaning show? I mean, it took for Fox News to say, hey, wait a minute, we can put something on there that appeals to half the country. I mean, the biggest, duh. And you know, Hollywood wouldn't do it.
A
So now did you see Barry Weiss is talking about maybe fantasizing out loud the possibility of adding Bret Baier as the CBS Evening News anchor. And I'll bet the heads are melting in the CBS newsroom. Oh my God, Christian, can you imagine?
E
Well, we've already seen it. It's been actually really comical to check out their reaction. I mean, Barry Wise swoops in, describes journalism as journalism meltdown. And then she says, can you just, just maybe share what you've done over the last week? Another meltdown. I mean, it is farcical. I mean, they couldn't, they couldn't be more transparent in how bad they are at their jobs. And the fact that you're panicking that a center left lesbian woman is coming in and taking over the company and they're all freaking out. And I mean it's, I mean this is genuinely funny stuff.
A
I hope that they will, if they decide to lean into journalism, maybe they will add some people who are genuine journalists, like John Solomon. I think John Solomon be an amazing addition to their cast. I think even people like Matt Taibbi, Matthew Shellenberger there, Michael Shellenberger would be fantastic additions to their commentary on, on cbs. And the thing is they're journalists. They don't, they don't lean right or lean left. They, they particularly shel right up the middle just being a journalist. It would be, it would be the ultimate correction of how far left journalism has gone, don't you think? Absolutely.
E
You just named some great people. And why that matters is because imagine the stories they could bring to CBS News that aren't being covered anywhere in traditional media. I mean, that's a real value add. And I think that would wake some people up. I mean, you know, you're going to do 20 stories about how the White House reconstruction project is the end of stories that really matter, that touch people's lives, that are based in the truth. I mean, my gosh, there's so much opportunity here. And you know, I don't know if you and I talked about it, but I'm actually really skeptical that Barry Wise can change things because I think the rod is so ingrained and there are so many people, you know, I don't.
A
Be mean, but I think it's going to have to. Dude, it's going to have to. Or they go out of business. Business. That's it. That's it. I mean, honestly, listen, once the suits decide they want to change their mind, they want to save the network, doesn't matter what the underlings are saying. Listen, they tried to get rid of, of Dave Chappelle on, on Netflix and, and they went out and danced around and stormed around and held up, you know, all these. And you know what the management said, Screw you.
E
Yeah, yeah. So they saw the money.
A
The bottom line, what do you think about cnn, man? Because there's a lot of stuff they're up for sale and, and clearly CNN has got to alter its trajectory. It has to. It has to. Or it's going to fade out of existence.
E
Well, I think it's just going to fade out because remember a couple of years ago, I forget the person who took over cnn, they fired Brian Stelter, they got rid of A couple other dead weight people that just don't do their job well. And there was so much blowback behind the scenes that that guy left. They brought Stelter back and the channel is as crazy left as usual. I mean, you know Scott Jennings, God bless him.
A
Yeah.
E
So yeah, I mean there's a great example of they want to change things. They want to bring it back to its core mission and they failed. They couldn't do it. And there's too many people who didn't want that.
A
You had mentioned and I've been hearing a lot of promos for this Bruce Springsteen flick that's about. I've been hearing it on like XM Satellite when I'm listening what's going on with, with Bruce Springsteen and I, and I can't again, another gu completely forsook his, his. Because his audience, you know, used to have a lot of conservatives, you know, really loved his music. And then he's just completely, he's. He's called them all sorts of awful things. What, what's he doing now?
E
Yeah, we just to get on that directly. Two things he did.
F
One is he.
E
His ticket prices went sky, sky high. Rather than saying, listen, I'm the boss on the blue collar guy, he basically said, hey, I put on a good show. And he does, there's no doubt about it it. And he essentially defended the high prices instead of saying, you know what I'm going to do something about because I care about my fans. So there's that. Then he's hard left posturing while he was obviously stone silent during the Biden years. And that's disgusting. So his new movie coming out, it's basically looking at the making of the album on Nebraska. It's called Nebraska Deliver Me From Nowhere.
A
Yeah.
E
And you know, you think a Springsteen movie would be a big deal, at least commercially. And the reviews have been mixed of good but not great and the box office looks terrible. It might not even make 10 million this weekend, which is a very bad sum for a biopic like that. Listen, you know, you and I complain about Springsteen, but he's one of the rock icons at this point. He's a living legend and he deserves some respect. And the fact that his movie is kind of generating a big yawn, that tells you something too.
A
I remember listening to the album Nebraska. The album Nebraska is a very stark album. It's him, his guitar and harmonica and. And I've listened to it. There's some songs on there that are amazing about his brother who. He, he was a, he was a, a Sheriff's deputy and he let his brother go go across the state line. It was a freaking beautiful, haunting song. It's an, it's an amazing album and it's just a damn shame that he has decided to bed down with the left. I Let me tell you, I got a friend named Mark Reardon, I think you might know Mark Reardon. He's. Yeah, in St. Louis. He went out to LA like 30 years ago and he goes into a movie theater and by the way, he's the biggest Springsteen fan ever, Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Right? I mean just every album, everything, everything, you know, craz theater. He looks up in front of him, Bruce Springsteen, Patty Cialfa. He taps him on the shoulder and says, Mr. Springsteen, I'm your biggest fan. I'm your biggest fan. The Boss says, well come up here and sit beside us. And he sat between Bruce Springsteen, sat between my friend Mark and Patty Sialpa and even shared his friggin popcorn with him for two hours. That was before, you know what? Now Bruce Springs. He found out my friend is a conservative host in St. Louis. It probably wouldn't have anything to do with him if you. Hold on, Christian. I talk about what's coming to theaters. What's old is new again. We'll do that in a second. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is the Rob Carson Show. And by the way, Doug Collins, Secretary of Veterans affairs on Newsmax is saying that a donor has stepped Forward to give $130 million to cover military paychecks this round. That's pretty cool. Good. Democrats are just being awful, petulant little children. They don't care about the suffering of people who, who are missing a paycheck. And I know what it's like to go paycheck to paycheck. When you miss one falls apart. You're missing payments, you're missing rent, you're missing groceries. It is not easy. It is not easy to have a family in the United States, particularly after four years of Joe Biden's miserable presidency. So that's some good news there. Christian Toto hollywoodintoto.com By the way, Wedding Crashers back. What's going on with this?
E
Yeah, you know, they've been doing this a lot more. I think it's a great thing where they bring back older films. Often it's tied to an anniversary. This time it's 20 years since we've seen the Wedding Crashers break into theaters. It's a really good film. I watched about A year or so ago. And it just beautifully. You know, it's also a time where we could tell wacky jokes. We could be inappropriate, we could be offensive at times. And because, you know, the characters in Wedding Crashers, they're not role models. They're just funny and they're goofy.
A
Yes.
E
And they also get their comeuppance to a certain degree throughout the film. So there's that. I just miss these kind of movies. I miss sort of the young Vince Vaughn who is so wacky and so in control. So I just think it's great. But it's also going to maybe shame any recent comedies. And I can't even think of that many recent comedies in general.
A
Yeah.
E
You know, and just show them how it's done. You know, we can. I love wild and raucous comedies and I love the back of the theater.
A
I love the Vince Vaughn movies when he was working with Ben Stiller. I love Old School. Oh, my God. I love dodgeball. Dodgeballs. That's Gen X, baby. That's Gen X, the last analog generation. The great comedies I want to see. There's Something About Mary Come back to the big screen. Such good, right? Dude, that's. But Old School. Old School is one of my favorites. I freaking love it. I love it. Remember, what was it? What was the 90s movie where it was Vince Vaughn, Swingers. Remember Swingers?
E
Oh, yeah.
A
Swingers was the original Vince Vaughn as a Caddy young dude just living life to get a little. Have a little. I mean, it was, it was, it was like the precursor to. What was the HBO show about? The entre. Yeah, Entourage. It was, it was basically Entourage, 1995. Right. It was Entourage.
E
Another show they probably couldn't make today. It's too centric, you know?
A
No. Hey, I was looking on some of your. On your column on Hollywood in Toto, some of the contributions. You have a couple movies you might check out. This is one I haven't heard in a while.
I
Dude.
A
And I remember watching this movie and I've seen it several times and I don't like scary movies. Jacob's Ladder from 1990. And it's. It's a horror movie, but it's also the story of a guy who's a. Who's a drug addicted Vietnam veteran in the year his father was. I haven't seen it very long. It's a creepy, weird, mind. Mind blowing movie with, With Tim Robbins.
E
Yeah. And apart from other films, and I think they remade it a few years ago. I think no one really cares. Watch it and didn't have the impact, but you know, I haven't seen in a while. I think a guest critic, Barry Worst, to get some great stuff for Hollywood and photo and he kind of gave us a retrospective look on it. Yeah, it's really visually dynamic. It's different. And Tim Robbins is a very underrated actor. You know, he's, he's versatile. He's also been rather interesting in recent years. You know, he's always been very progressive and he's been a little more clear eyed of late, which I give him.
F
A lot of credit for.
E
And by the way, I interviewed him years ago in D.C. and he's the only person I ever interviewed where I was recording him so I'd get every quote properly and he was recording me in case I screwed up or.
A
But you know what? Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins and Richard Dreyfuss are both classic liberals. Richard Dreyfuss would literally go to conservative events. When Mark Reardon, my friend Mark Reardon, they became friends. Richard Dreyfuss. Richard Dreyfus is an open minded man. He never forsook his liberal leanings, but he would go to conservative conventions. He'd go to, you know, all of these. I don't know if he went to cpac, but he did. And so I give them credit. And Robbins is a man. You can have a conversation.
E
Yep, absolutely. We had a great chat that time. And he's a smart guy. I listen, I love, you know, the left has gone so far left out. When we have a classic liberal, someone who's progressive and honest and sober, it's a blessing because we can have a conversation, we can agree to disagree and we can debate because I guarantee Tim Robbins wouldn't, wouldn't shrink away from a debate. He'd just have a conversation and agree to disagree.
A
Yeah. Also Barry wrote a piece on Tremors, the perfect comedy horror hybrid. What a freaking masterpiece. What a masterpie. That movie with Kevin Bacon. Oh my God, it's fantastic.
E
To me, the horror comedy mix is very difficult to get just right. But when you do it, it's amazing. And you know, American will in London, Shaun of the Dead.
A
Yes.
E
My personal favorite from my childhood. Abena Costello made Frankenstein and of course, I mean Tremors is right up there.
A
Yeah. And I've watched Sitters again, by the way. Now I've seen, I think I've seen it four times. It's worth it. It's worth it. Chris and Toto, I appreciate you, man. Thanks for being on the show today. Any big plans for the weekend?
E
Oh, Never, never. Just taking care of my kids and watching a lot of hockey, that's all.
A
All right, brother. Who's your team, by the way?
E

A

Episode Title: The End of the Karens? Rob Carson and Guests Torch Woke Politics Coast to Coast!
Date: October 24, 2025
Host: Rob Carson
Key Guests: John Reed (Virginia GOP candidate), Christian Toto (Hollywood in Toto)
This episode of The Rob Carson Show blends sharp conservative commentary with humor and media parodies, focusing on the cultural and political trends Rob Carson calls "woke politics" and the decline of "Karens"—a term he uses for left-leaning, activist women he sees as emblematic of progressive excesses. The show covers everything from gender debates in politics, the decline of non-binary identity claims among youth, humorous takes on current events, the state of entertainment, and critical insights into media and political figures.
[00:18–12:41]
Rob sets the tone with the "Karen" theme: lampooning Democrat candidates Abigail Spanberger (whom he consistently misnames "Spamberger") and Ghazala Hashmi.
Spanberger labeled as the archetype “liberal Karen,” accused of supporting “radical LGBTQ, CRT, DEI” in schools.
He plays Spanberger’s lengthy, meandering response to a direct question about trans athletes, repeatedly dropping in to demonstrate the lack of a clear answer.
"The answer that happened seven minutes ago… she never answered about transgendered, well, boys who become girls in girls locker room when she interviewed Katie Couric."
– Rob Carson [14:04]
Uses statistics to illustrate a purported sharp drop in students identifying as non-binary, framing it as a "fad" or "psyop" linked to COVID era confusion and social pressure.
Satirizes left-wing activism with a parody song about "cat ladies" (by Jim Gossett), connecting it to women he sees fueling “woke” politics.
[11:05–12:41]
Musical parody segment lampooning liberal women, framing them as emotionally fraught “cat ladies” disconnected from mainstream values.
"They're cat ladies. Talking about some miserable ladies who are out of their mind."
– Jim Gossett [11:21]
Rob: “I think this year is going to be the end of the Karen, to be quite honest... Back to the HOA with you."
[12:42–19:21]
Rob transitions to Ghazala Hashmi’s 2023 education subcommittee statement, criticizing her opposition to parental access over sexual content in schools.
Guest John Reed (GOP candidate for Lieutenant Governor) discusses the contrast between what he calls "radical" Democrats and common-sense parental concerns.
"Even if you're left of center…come on, we're not going to go with that [sexually explicit content for kids]."
– John Reed [13:51]
Conversation touches on the "decline" of gender-questioning youth and the ongoing culture wars in education.
Reed, an openly gay Republican, describes how he addresses identity politics accusations from Democrats, preferring to be judged on his character and public service.
"I just lay it on the table. And I hope that people will judge me for my character and my...business and professional and personal successes."
– John Reed [16:18]
Reed is optimistic about conservative prospects in Virginia, emphasizing outreach to Black Virginians and underrepresented voters:
"...if they get a chance to meet me and hear me talk...we’re going to find a lot of common ground." [17:01]
[21:00–28:15]
Rob and guest Christian Toto dive into the NFL's continued "virtue signaling" with Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl performer, claiming Bad Bunny is unknown, “hates America,” and is part of “woke nonsense.”
Toto reflects on Hollywood’s ideological “bubble,” opening new space for conservative and right-leaning art and media.
"If Hollywood is going to swing far to the left and they're going to ignore half the country, the other half can make art."
– Christian Toto [22:55]
They discuss CBS and the possible influence of journalist Barry Weiss, with skepticism about real change due to entrenched ideology.
[23:27–28:15]
Segment covers potential shakeups at CBS and CNN, skepticism about network ability to change, and "meltdown" over moderate or center-left figures gaining influence.
Brief foray into Bruce Springsteen’s career choices and alienation of conservative fans, noting commercial underperformance of his new biopic.
"He’s hard left posturing while he was obviously stone silent during the Biden years. And that's disgusting."
– Christian Toto [27:21]
Rob shares anecdotes about fans’ personal connections to Springsteen, mourning his political transformation.
[30:23–34:49]
[33:28–34:20]
Christian Toto and Rob reflect on how classic liberal figures like Tim Robbins and Richard Dreyfuss can engage in genuine dialogue—a rarity amid today's partisanship.
"When we have a classic liberal, someone who's progressive and honest and sober, it's a blessing because we can have a conversation..."
– Christian Toto [33:59]
[37:59–39:01]
Show closes with a satirical song themed around toughness on Antifa, the Biden administration, and leftist politicians.
"F around and find out. In the end, I'm gonna win. Win the day."
– Parody lyric [38:54]
Rob reiterates his mission to blend humor and sharp political commentary:
“...what I do for you is I represent you in Washington, D.C. and we use humor and leading edge opinion as a weapon against them..."
– Rob Carson [39:01]
On gender identity decline:
"You remember when acid wash jeans were around, like in the late 80s, early 90s? ...This is the acid wash jeans of 2025."
[05:04]
On political rhetoric:
"You are the Fourth Reich and we are the resistance."
– Rob Carson (satirically mocking left rhetoric) [10:32]
On the "woke" entertainment shift:
"Hollywood wouldn't do it...if they're gonna ignore half the country, the other half can make art."
– Christian Toto [22:55]
On political dialogue:
"When we have a classic liberal, someone who's progressive and honest and sober, it’s a blessing because we can have a conversation, we can agree to disagree and we can debate..."
– Christian Toto [33:59]

Rob Carson’s style is irreverent, punchy, and relentless—mixing sharp satire and right-of-center opinions with running gags and pop-culture references. The tone is combative but comedic, targeting liberal politicians, “woke” trends in education and entertainment, and legacy media institutions. Guests add industry and political perspective while generally agreeing with the overall outlook.
This episode underscores The Rob Carson Show’s blend of political satire and conservative commentary, diagnosing “the end of the Karens” as symbolic of a larger cultural backlash against progressive politics. Through featured guests, parody songs, and rapid-fire news breakdowns, Carson paints a picture of conservative resurgence, laments the fading of classic comedy and civil discourse, and offers his brand of humorous resistance to what he sees as the excesses of “woke” America.
