Now.
You are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide web. This is the Rob Carson show and.
By the grace of God, it is finally Friday and we got a massive storm. It's gonna affect 180 million people. And you know, it's, it snows, it snows, it's okay. Don't, don't freak out. You know, here's the thing. Let me see, just explain something to you here real quick. You know who's gonna end up in the ditch? People who drive four wheel drives who are arrogant and think that they can, you know, drive fast in snow because they're driving a four wheel drive. You can go in the ditch as quickly as somebody driving a, you know, front wheel drive Prius. If you don't know how to drive in this stuff. So here's what you do. You maintain a distance, a good distance from the vehicle in front of you. You keep it slow and you, you know, and that's about it. That's about it. And if you got a two wheel drive, forget about it. Don't go out in it. Don't go out. If you got a four wheel drive, go on it round the pony is a commenter on the Rumble Live chat says my nose hairs froze this morning walking into work. This is what happens when it gets really cold. You ever done that? You ever lived in a, in an area where you go like that and you can feel the nose hairs freeze? That's, you know, below zero kind of stuff. I hear that's coming to the D.C. area where we are next week. So, but a big, a big snowstorm coming in across the country and panic, death and destruction and all that. You know, just chill, chill, chill and prepare. The only thing I'm worried about a little bit of freezing ice is what they're saying, you know, so ice could result in power line issues and all of that. You know, take care. You know, if you got an elderly neighbor, obviously. I met this fascinating woman last night. I'm in the mail room at my, at my apartment complex and she, I met her before and she has a shih tzu and this cute little dog, the shih tzu. And I said hi to the shih tzu and she goes, that dog saved my life. I said, what do you mean? She goes, I had a stroke and, and my little dog started barking and yet it all this and saved my life. And then she decided to make the dog into a service dog, a shih Tzu is a service dog. Can you imagine that? A shih tzu is a service dog. So I'm talking to her. Turns out she just moved back here from Great Britain. She knows Nigel Farage. She, she's, she's been on GB News. She knows Hilary Fordwich, who's a big fan of the show. I'm a big fan of hers too, by the way. And, and she's a conservative. She's a conservative. And she even showed me a couple news stories that she was mentioned on, on GB News. And, and apparently they know her at the White House, this little lady who, you know, is in the mail room. Then I met another guy, military veteran for four tours in Afghanistan. He's got ptsd. And by the way, this woman who came from Great Britain, she's a therapist. And he goes, I could use some therapy, man. I don't want to hit the bottle again because, you know, I had four tours in Afghanistan. And then I told him, I said, I know a charity that can get you a service dog. And he goes, oh, my God, really? I said, yeah. So my friend Paul Chapa, he's got a charity in the middle of Kansas City. It's marvelous. It's called Fish Friends and Service of Heroes. And I texted him yesterday. I said, paul, I got a guy, he said he doesn't want to hit the bottle again. He's got ptsd and he's real tempted to start drinking again because he's going through all this stress. And he says, rob, we got two dogs ready to go. That's what you taught. That's what, that's, that's getting the most out of interactions in your life. How many times you go into the mail room, if you live in an apartment, how many times you get in an Uber and you don't talk to the people there? I'll tell you what, you, you, you meet some interesting people, man. And I'm, I'm, I'm probably annoying. I'm like that, you know, that commercial says you're becoming your parents. I'm kind of that guy. I guess I start a conversation with anybody, you know, about whatever, but look what you can get out of it. I met a woman from Great Britain who's a conservatives, been on the news, had a rescue dog that saved her from a strip of the sushi. Tzu, became a rescue, became a, you know, a service dog. And then a guy made. A guy with PTSD is ready to start drinking again. And I find out that he needs to service dog and call my friend who has service dogs all in the mail room. It's kind of cool. I hope you don't mind me sharing it with that. Sharing that to you. With you. I just, I think it's kind of interesting. I think people are interesting. I love meeting people. I love meeting. You know what I got? You know what I got yesterday? Are you ready for this? I got two pair. A pair. It's two pair. No, it's two sets of glasses. One pair for somebody's face, one pair for somebody's face. There you go. Smart glasses that translate language. So if there's a guy here in the office from Saudi Arabia and I said, I'm going to bring him in on Tuesday or Monday, whenever you can get here, and you're going to put them on, I'm going to put on. You speak to me in Arabic and I'll speak to you in English and we'll see how it works. But I did. I wanted to be able to speak to people because language is a construct. Language is about to go to the way of the dodo. If you, if you, if you think that being a translator is going to be around forever. No, it's about to go away because you can translate in real time and it's going to get to the point where you can look at somebody with glasses and you will be able to hear their voice speaking to you in your native language. Going to happen in the next few years. It's going to happen. And language will exist as nothing more than a cultural construct to maintain your culture. That's it. That's it. And it's wonderful, by the way. You want to be able to speak, you know, whatever, you know, it's nice. But. But translation is going away. It's going away. It is. Elon Musk was talking to Davos. He's fascinating, man. If I ever get the chance to interview him, do a long form podcast here. I'm going to. It's fascinating. Listen to this, listen to this. About in. These are the most extraordinary times of our lives. Okay? We have some things happening that are unheard of. Elon Musk is going to build 1000 rockets per year to go into space. Space travel is going to happen in the next few years. You and I'll be able to do it. No problem. No problem. Quantum computing is coming. And when quantum computing happens, you better be ready for it because learns exponentially. Exponentially. Exponentially. And then there's this thing called infinite knowledge, which is real close to God. You, you don't even know. Read about it. Google it, do whatever. But quantum computing gets things done like this. There's no computation. There's no little circle. There's not a beep, beep, beep. Wait, wait, wait. It's. You type it in and it's. It's done. Done. One second. Boom, done, immediately. All the computations, done. Done, Done. I need a cure for cancer. Done. I need, you know, whatever. Done. It's. It's coming. It's coming. And this is moving so exponentially. Oh, my God, it's so glorious. Listen to this about AI and this, this will probably happen sooner than he thinks.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
And then probably by 2030 or 2031, call it five years from now, AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively.
Rob Carson
We only have minutes left, but I want to humanize you for a second. All of humanity collectively. Just don't sell the technology to Cyberdyne. Okay, I'm just gonna give you. Don't sell the technology to Cyberdyne Industries, because it's not gonna be good. I mentioned earlier in the show, I'm literally. I want to invest in Tesla because of the robots. I know you're laughing. Oh, Rob Garza is going to invest in robots. Guys, if you're a Gen Xer and you're going to be, you know, requiring care in 25 years, there's a real good chance that a robot's going to be taking care of you. I'm not screwing around.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
Well, humanoid robotics will advance very quickly. I think we do have some of the Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
Probably later this year. By the end of this year, I think they'll be doing more complex tasks.
Rob Carson
I got a robot vacuum cleaner and.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
But still deployed in an industrial environment. And probably sometimes next year, I'd say by the end of next year, I think would be selling humanoid robots to the public. But that's when we are confident that.
Rob Carson
Did you, did you, did you hear what he just said? By next year, they're going to be selling humanoid robots for people. I think it's actually a brilliant thing. You know, like, for instance, you know, you know, my mom, when, when she was declining, her health was declining. You could have that humanoid robot there to help out, just do all sorts of stuff. It's going to get more advanced. It's going to get. It's going to get crazy. As long as Hal doesn't. Doesn't decide to lock you out. That. That would be very. It would be. How. Open the door. How. How. What are you doing here? How crazy? Finally, Elon Musk addressed the possibility of aliens. Now, I'm gonna. I'm not gonna do a deep dive on this because I could talk about this for ever. I've got a lot of knowledge on this because I was abducted and there was some probing. No, actually, here is Elon Musk talking about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
Coming here, I'm often asked other aliens among us, and I'll say that I am one or you're from the future. They don't believe me, okay? So. But I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me. And we have 9,000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship. So I'm like, I don't know. Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare and it might only be us. And if that's the case, then we need to do everything possible to. To ensure that the. The light of.
Rob Carson
Can.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
The light. The light of consciousness is not extinguished.
Rob Carson
God. So amazing. Maybe it's just me, but I will tell you this, Elon, about all the things you just said there. Then explain James Carville. If you can explain James Carville not being a space alien, then you got a deal. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show.
Donald Trump's election.
No. No one.
It's the gift that keeps on giving. It's the Rob Carson Show.
So let me tell you something very simple. That under this administration, again from the President of the United States, the vice President, you have an ally in the.
White House at the march for life.
Now, some of our work over the last year has been very straightforward and very easy. We started by undoing the evils we saw under the previous administration, like, for example, throwing priests and grandmothers in prison for praying outside a clinic. That's over. We stopped it.
Yay.
Where the previous administration mandated taxpayer funding for abortions, including travel costs across the entire government, this administration ended it.
There you go. You know, in talk radio, it used to be, you don't want to talk about abortion or gun control. And no, nonsense, nonsense. Abortion is. Planned Parenthood was created by Margaret Sanger. She was a eugenist and a racist, and so she wanted to use it to get rid of unwanted people. Like, Like. Like Hitler did. And. And look what it did. It ended up killing, you know, 60 million babies since Roe v. Wade, and a lot of them black. Right now, the population. The black population is, you know, hasn't changed much. It would have been Much, much, much, much larger if it weren't for 30 million black babies being killed before they were born. And Planned Parenthoods are generally on the the streets named after some of the greatest civil rights leaders of all time. On a Martin Luther King Boulevard or on a Malcolm X Boulevard is generally depending on the municipality. Planned Parenthood it is. It's that way. It was that way in Kansas City when I was there. I'm trying to remember the civil rights leader, but the Planned Parenthood is right there. Right there. It's the ultimate. It's dreadful. It's dreadful. And I. If you're just tuning in for the first time and I haven't shared the story in a while, and I hope you won't mind. I was adopted and I for a very long time before DNA testing came around, you know, I did try to do the international soundex Reunion Registry and try to get with the Kansas or the. I was born in Nebraska, get with the adoption board there and then try to get to this and that. And then the door slammed, sealed adoption, the whole deal. And 2018, my now ex wife got me a DNA test to find out. Ancestry.com and did the test. And October, and then lo and behold, on Christmas Day, Christmas Day, I opened up the results and my results were in. First and foremost, I always thought that I was Irish, English and German. Turns out I'm English, Irish and German. And then I started finding relatives. I found out that one of my cousins, first cousin was with school with me from like 6th grade through graduating high school. First cousin Kelly. Yeah, it was kind of cool. And then I found out I had a half sister. What? Yeah, half sister. Half sister is about 15 years older than me. Quite a bit older. My. Our biological mother had her very young. And something interesting about this. My sister was raised by her grandparents thinking that her mom, our mom, was her sister. And then at about 33 years old, my biological mother said, I'm actually your mom. Weird. Here's where it gets pretty crazy. I met my sister and met my new biological family. They held Christmas weeks late for me to be there. It was amazing. 70 people just to meet me, to meet me. And I've since gotten to know a lot of the family members and they're wonderful people. And we went out to lunch with my sister and my niece who lived in Kansas City, not too far from me. And she said, rob, I'm going to tell you something that I just, I don't want it to destroy your life. And I went, whoa, whoa. This was when I Was drinking. Okay, this is what I was drinking. And I was suffering a lot. My mother, my brother died and, you know, whatever. A lot of stuff happened. And she said, the reason why you were given up from adoption is because mom was raped. Mom was raped. And I didn't think that it would hit me as hard as it did. I really didn't. I thought, I can handle it. I can handle it. I can handle it. But I went into the guest bedroom in the, in the, in the, the house we lived in Kansas City. The rental, the piece of crap rental. And I took a box of wine with me and I would drink until I passed out. And then when I wake up, I drink and pass out again. It was that bad. It was that bad. Three days. Three days. Right? Nuts. Right? Nuts. Nuts, nuts. Then I had my, you know, my, my healing a year or two later. But I realized it, what an amazing arrow it is in my quiver for life and choosing to have a child. I'm not saying that women should have to carry a baby to term when you've been raped. No, not at all. Not at all. In that case, there's. There are, you know, things you can do early, early, early, early, early to end the pregnancy. But, but I think the thing I'm trying to say here on this March for Life Day is that when you go through abortion, you do it by yourself generally. But when you decide to have a child, you're going to be surrounded with love. You're going to have people who are going to help you because they want to save not only the baby, but you. They want to save not only the baby by you. And it is a hell of a burden for a woman to carry when the man in her life impregnates her and says, I don't want anything to do with the baby. And you are going, going, what the hell do I do? Or maybe you're really young, you're not, you know, just not ready for it. And so generally, what's going to happen is you're going to go into an abortion clinic by yourself. Nobody's going to follow up, nobody's going to come and visit you, all of that stuff. But if you decide to have the baby, you will be surrounded with love. You really, really well. And, and if, and if you win life's lottery, you're going to end up with somebody like me. I know. I don't want to set your expectations too high. I don't want to get them way up there because, I mean, kind of, kind of unique and awesomeness here is what it is. But, but that's, that's my story. I haven't shared it in a while. We are adding into the audience all the time. And so I thought I'd share it with you because it's, it is something that really, I thank God that, that I know it. I thank God that I know it. Even though initially it was incredibly difficult to, to, to find out and to endure. And you know, my life has been a whole hell of a lot of speed bumps on the way to getting here. But, but it's made me who I am and I wouldn't change any of it. But I don't think I could survive it if I went through it again. I'll just tell you that I'm glad it happened. I wouldn't change anything, but I wouldn't survive it if I had to do it again. Right. Right. Thought you should know. All right, Christian Toto is going to join us next to talk about some of the Oscar movies and whatnot. Do not go anywhere. This is the ROB CARSON show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Relief factor. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is all the real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I've been hearing about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years, finally decided to try it because nothing else has helped my back pain. With the three week quick start, I went for it. Now I feel like a new person. Those are Sandra's own words. And it's just so gratifying to hear. I've experienced that kind of relief myself. And knowing folks like Sandra out there are feeling better makes it all worth it. Try it for yourself with a three week quick start. See how Relief Factor could be a game changer too. Call 804 RELIEF, that's 804 RELIEF. Or go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com how will it feel to be out of pain? It is a ROB Carson show. Joining us on the Newsmax hotline, another one of our unusual suspects on Friday from Hollywood in Toto, Christian Toto, how are you, my friend?
Christian Toto
I am well, glad to be here as always.
Rob Carson
It'll be it'll be a good weekend to do some binge watching, won't it?
Christian Toto
Oh, God.
Rob Carson
I know.
Christian Toto
It's, I'm trying to my kids, my kids are in this weird phase where they don't watch movies with their dad and it's driving. There are so many beloved movies, so many 80s movies. I want to watch them again and again. And they're just, they're giving me, give me trouble, man. I don't know what I can do.
Rob Carson
Welcome to it, bro. You're not as cool anymore to them. Yeah, you know, you used to be the sun, the moon and the stars. Guess what? You're not even a comet now. You're not even a meteor that burned out in the atmosphere.
Christian Toto
I've actually bribed them a time or two. Hey, I'll give you, I'll let you. I'll get you some Chipotle if you want to.
Rob Carson
Let's, let's order some Papa John's. Papa John's, everybody. So, you know, obviously the Oscars and people don't watch the Oscars, but people do watch movies and I, the movie centers. I've watched it probably six times. I watched it again last weekend just to see Michael Jordan's outfits because I want to dress like Michael Jordan in that movie. My God, he freakin sharp dress, man. But 16, this is a horror movie. A horror movie. 16. I mean, unbelievable about this movie.
Christian Toto
It is, you know, I think it was 91 or 92 where Silence of the Lamb swept your awards. It was a horror movie, no doubt. But you know, horror movies rarely get love from the Oscar voters. Sinners is an exception, as you witnessed. It's a really good movie. So I'm glad it's getting a lot of love and attention. But listen, that number is, is kind of obscene from an Oscar point of view. It's not that good. It's not Citizen Kane. But I'm glad it's being recognized. It's worthwhile. It's an original movie, an original story, very talented people in it. And that's where Hollywood should be going. And by the way, people saw it, it was a big hit. It wasn't one of these artsy movies that no one saw.
Rob Carson
I thought it was just a. I disagree. I thought it was a brilliant movie. I thought the scene where they, they went in the, the speakeasy and they're doing that, they're dancing on the floor and they go through the history of black music and Jimi Hendrix all of a sudden pops up and you're like, oh my. And I watched that the other and I'm like, God, that's brilliant. Brilliant. Plus, they also weaved in the story the legend of Robert Johnson disappearing and coming back as a guitarist after selling his soul to Satan. They worked that in there. It reminded me of something of Baz Luhrmann. It reminded me of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Stylishly, it did.
Christian Toto
It's got everything. It's interesting, it works in layers. It's got music, it's got culture. You know, it talks about racism in a way that's real and ra. It doesn't overwhelm the. No, it's not a finger.
Rob Carson
No. It doesn't beat your head. It doesn't beat you over the head. With Frankenstein also got nomination. That's another horror movie. And I thought that was. That was a pretty cool. That's a pretty cool version of Frankenstein. Completely original Frankenstein.
Congressman or Political Commentator
It is.
Christian Toto
And there's a movie coming out in a few weeks called the Bride with Christian Bale, and that one's going to be rather interesting. Bride of Frankenstein, I think the two seem to be very different. Different in style and tone, and they're not exactly complementary on paper. But listen, Frankenstein's monster.
Rob Carson
So it's, well, the original brand of Frankenstein. All she did was scream. All she did was scream. She didn't do anything in this one. They've updated it. She rides his ass about doing stuff around the house and then finally she. She dumps him and takes half a castle. It's ridiculous. I was disappointed that Kevin o' Leary did not get a best supporting for Marty Supreme. I thought he did a really good job.
Christian Toto
Listen, he just made a high profile, well received acting performance. Get more work, for sure.
Rob Carson
I thought he was very good. Very, very good. Couple of other stories because I know our time is nice today. It's a little shorter than usual. This is kind of sad, actually. Matt Damon says Netflix wants movies to restate the plot for three or four times in the dialogue because. Are you ready for this? Viewers are watching the movie while they're on their cell phones. What the hell?
Christian Toto
That's modern life, man. I'm actually watching my kids. If I get my kids to watch a movie with me, there's gonna be a second screen involved, sadly, I bet.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God, that is ridiculous. But think about how that is for an actor, you know? Listen, I do a little TV show on Newsmax and I get all sorts of butt hurt when I'm told, rob, you gotta do this, Rob, you gotta do that. You wanna hear what happened this week? I had to do a recut and I accidentally put on the wrong shirt. And so they catch it and they say, rob, you gotta get that shirt. Change the shirt or we have to retape the entire show. And I said, well, his shirt's at the dry cleaners. So I had to go to the dry cleaners. I had to Go to the dry cleaners to get the shirt. Got this little Chinese woman, she's like, why do you want the shirt? Why do you want the shirt? I gotta have it. Just go dig it out of the basket and I'll impress it. So I would be very.
Christian Toto
Trials and Tribulations.
Rob Carson
I would be. But honestly. Yeah. We need you to restate the plot of the movie. Just remind everybody because they're really not watching you. You know what? Have you ever given a speech when people are eating? Have you ever tried to do a speech at a banquet? You know, you cannot compete when people are eating. And now you got the cell phone. It's just ridiculous.
Christian Toto
Yeah, I mean Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, they were talking to Joe Rogan about this. They know the industry very well and some of their, some of their thoughts and some of their predictions and some of their observations are just plain sad. But it is the way we are today. We can't deny it.
Rob Carson
By the way, I think I'm gonna be going to the Trump Kennedy center to see the debut of Melania. And it's kind of interesting. You got the headline. Melania was doomed from the start. It may not matter. Politically divisive. But at the same time you got Zoran Mandami's friggin documentary. Oh, a new documentary of chronicler openly. Zoran Mandami's rise to New York mayor. I could give a rat's behind about Zoroan Mandami, but I think Melania's gonna be great.
Christian Toto
I think so too. It'll be fascinating. By the way, watch for the critics react to the first movie Melania and then the Mamdani video, of course documentary. It might be slightly different in their takes. Slightly.
Rob Carson
Well, I'm looking forward to it. I think she's. I think she's gorgeous. And hopefully gonna be broadcasting from there. How cool would that be? That would be cool. This is kind of sad now. You know, in, in Shakespearean times. Dylan. Dylan. I called you Dylan. I've got Dylan Mulvaney is who I'm going to talk about. Christian. But. But in Shakespearean times they would. Women could not act, so they would have men dress up like women. That's where drag kind of started, right?
Christian Toto
Yeah.
Rob Carson
And. And then, then in the early 20s, you know, black actors, so white guys had put a black face on. Dylan Mulvaney is going to be making a Broadway debut in a musical six As a, as a woman. Do you find this to be a little bit insulting to. To women for a guy to play A woman, actually, you know, and it's not a guy playing a woman. It's a guy who says he's a woman playing a woman. What do you think?
Christian Toto
I think I'm numb to these headlines.
Rob Carson
I know, right? I've got a headache. I've got. It's right here in the temple. I need to apply a little pressure. A little pressure. All right, well, if you get snowed in, if you get snowed in, I'm going to remind you again, Pluribus is always good, especially since your kids don't want anything to do with you anymore.
Christian Toto
This weekend, apparently.
Rob Carson
All right. Hey, it was great to have you on. Where can everybody find your podcast and of course Hollywooduntoto.com. go ahead.
Christian Toto
Yeah, go to website or just punch it. Punch in Hollywood in toto, in YouTube and check it out. I also have a new short on Hollywood which has got a zinger aimed at Tim Waltz. I'll say no more.

So did you watch some of the testimony of Capitol Hill yesterday? Jack Smith and then of course, Troy Nels was, was calling out the J6 Capitol Police who were there in the, in the, the hall that he was speaking. And you know, obviously there were some shenanigans. There were some Trump supporters who were murdered in case you didn't know. And one of this is this creep named Michael Fannon. He's a complete creep. He's a fake. He's a private schoolboy who grew a beard and got some tattoos. Tries to be a good old boy. Tries to think he's tough and everything, and he's actually dangerously unhinged. He's. He's mental. He's mental. And yesterday in congress, Troy Nels decides to, you know, say, hey, you know what? You capitol police officers, you. Maybe you're not going to get away with what you think you got away with. And so what did. What did this Fanon do? He coughed, remember? You know, somebody says bull like that, you know, except for he said, go bleep yourself in front of a congressional hearing. This creepy. This. And he's a very frightening man. If I were, you know, around him as a friend, or I wouldn't be his friend, but he's a dangerous, dangerous individual. Listen to this.
Congressman or Political Commentator
I would like to quickly address the police officers of January 6th. Mr. Don, Mr. Fanon, Mr. Gonell, Mr. Hodges. I'm a member of the new select committee to actually examine. Actually examine what happened that day. And I can tell you gentlemen that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with Yogananda Pittman.
Rob Carson
Listen.
Congressman or Political Commentator
And the u. S. Capitol leadership team. Yep, we know, we know. They had the intelligence and there was going to.
Rob Carson
Yeah. To a congressman, he clears his throat and says, go after yourself, Honda.
Congressman or Political Commentator
Pittman. And the u. S. Capital leadership team. We know, we know.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Congressman or Political Commentator
They had the intelligence and there was going to be a high propensity for violence that day. Claim my time.
Christian Toto
Yeah, he will be in order. The time belongs to the gentleman from Texas.
Rob Carson
Should have hauled his ass out.
Christian Toto
We've had some disruptions already.
Rob Carson
We don't need that.

We know the capitol leadership team, specifically Yogananda Pittman had the intelligence and there was going to be a high propensity for violence that day.
Rob Carson
There was a setup. Reichstag, I told you. On January 7, I said, it's set up. It's the reichstag. They. The democr. The Republicans came together, a million of them. They never show the crowd size. They never show the crowd size near the Washington monument. They never show the million people who were so concerned about democracy because they knew that that election was not fair. They knew going to bed that night, that election night, Donald Trump way out in front and then all of a sud. The battleground states stop counting the votes. Oddly enough, they told you for months ahead of time to set you up that the election was going to Be completely free and fair, and if you're going to question the results, there's something wrong with you. So they set it up a long time. I could say it now. It's not disinformation. I can say it now. And then they silenced us completely. The day after I told you, I lost my social media. I didn't even make a post, but they wanted to shut down my speech. Then they took away my Facebook page altogether. Lost all the followers and everything. All of them gone, gone, gone, gone, gone. And then Donald Trump said, head peacefully to the Capitol. And then everybody was gathered in the Capitol and the barricades were torn down, and there were people there wearing flak jackets and helmets and having grappling hooks. And those are only antifa, generally, because Trump supporters don't do that. And then the police started firing flashbang grenades and tear gas into the crowd, even though they were peaceful. And meanwhile, they opened the doors to them and told them to come in. And then once they got in, they surveilled them. They saw their faces. And the next couple of years, they went after every single person on the Capitol ground and kept people in prison for four years without a trial, some of them missing their medical treatments. One man who was released died of the cancer that he had. They didn't treat while he was in jail. There are others who spent four years there being moved to multiple prisons. That's the Bastille. That's the best deal. And this guy Fanon, I hope that he finds he talks a little too much smack with somebody who just gives him a beatdown because he is a creep supreme. He is a really grotesque person. He's actually calling on people to fight, to declare a civil war. Talking about ICE agents. Michael Fanon, it's time to shoot ICE agents. Okay, here's what he said. If you're not gonna do it, then it's time for the American people to organize and utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what has clearly become an unaccountable and lawless agency that's killing Americans. That's all a lie. This guy is a psycho. This guy is a psycho. And you know anybody who tattoos clear up to, like, under their chin. Not exactly. Right. I could say that now. I could say. And women who have a lot of tattoos all over the body generally have a lot of issues. I know, I know. Oh, you're not. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Really, really, really Fidone. He's compensating for something that isn't There. Yeah, yeah. Yesterday, Jack Smith was being questioned on why, six months before the election, he decided that he would dump 14 million documents on Trump's defense team and rush a. So it would happen before the election.
Legal Expert or Commentator
How many pages per day is that? 100,000. That sound about right? What if we break that down per hour, it's 4166. Per minute is 70 pages. You like to read, sir?
Rob Carson
You like to read? I do.
Legal Expert or Commentator
Do you read 70 pages a minute?
Rob Carson
I do not.
Legal Expert or Commentator
I mean, that would be remarkable. So how do you prepare for a trial in five months? If you're asking the defense, Jack Smith.
Rob Carson
Said he wanted to assure Donald Trump has a speedy trial. He also wanted his defense to be.
Legal Expert or Commentator
Overwhelmed and unprepared against counsel to read 70 pages a minute. How do you do that and prepare a defense? And you don't get all the witness testimony and video evidence that you supposedly had.
Rob Carson
Oh, I hope he gets a little bit more, and I hope he ends up spending some time in jail. Here is Jonathan Turley, legal expert, Georgetown University, George Washington Washington University, about why they did this.
Jonathan Turley
There were other points in that hearing which left me dumbfounded. For example, he was asked, why did you dump millions of pages on the Trump team, then move forward this. This quick trial before the election? And with a straight face, he said.
Rob Carson
Before the election, okay, I was just.
Jonathan Turley
Trying to give Trump his. His. His right to a speedy trial. The Trump team had asked for the time to review these documents. It was abundantly clear to everyone that he was trying to get the trial before Trump faced the. The voters, because if he was reelected, his case would then die. And that was obvious. But he said under oath, no, I was just trying to carry out a speedy trial agenda. It was just crazy.
Rob Carson
Yeah, they. They tried to pinned January 6th on him. They had three other political trials before the election. They tried to. They tried to take him off the battle, and they tried to murder him. All of that. All of that. And look what they did. They did a face plant just in time for the most glorious year of our lives. The 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation. Karma is a B word. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. All right, so come up a bit, and we're gonna wrap up the show with the best song parody of the week from Jim Gossett. How's that sound? Does it sound good? All right. All right. Gold is $3 and 30 cents away from $5,000. Thought you should know that. Oh, my God.
Elon Musk (voice or quoted)
Wow.
Rob Carson
Unbelievable. It was 48, 92 then it's now it's 48 what, 7:30. Whatever. So, yeah, about. About three bucks away from $5,000. And you've let a year go by. You could have bought it at $2,600. You might want to get on the gold train. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898. Yeah, that's where it is. Just shy. Just shy of $5,000. Unbelievable. Silver's pushing a $2 or $102. $102 for silver worth 30 bucks last year. It was worth $30 last year. I looked at my 401k from when I sold cars. It's gained 20% in about 6 years. I know, I know. Anyway, you can text my name, Rob, to 989-898 for Birch Gold. If you're a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold will offer a rebate up to $10,000. A little bonus on top of the massive growth and all that. So again, take advantage of this great offer. Text my name, Rob, to 989-898 for Birch Cold before it hits $5,000. And it looks like it could happen today. Best song parody of the week about GRE and our glorious president featuring Jim Gossett.
What can make us safer?
Congressman or Political Commentator
What can make us safer?
Rob Carson
In the hemisphere?
In the hemisphere.
What can force the Russians and Chinese to watch their rear? Greenland, Greenland. Oh, yes. Greenland can.
Greenland can.
We'd like to buy it and make it so much better like we said.
We would and we certainly will.
A deal I'd like to make. I don't want to take Greenland with the military.
Nah, we'll just take it.
Hope that isn't necessary. A conflict there would be quite scary.
Yeah, it wouldn't last very long either because we kicked their butts.
What could be strategic?
What could be strategic?
To the usa. To the usa. Come to the table. Denmark. We could make a deal today for Greenland.
Greenland.
You should sell us Greenland.
You should sell us Greenland. All right, that's gonna do it for the show, guys. I'm gonna go ahead and say that my TV show, Rob Carson's what in the World? Is on Newsmax Sunday night at 8:30. Just when you'd expect a comedy show to air. In the meantime, God bless you. America has founded Donald Trump and this glorious country is our enter our 250th year. And until Monday, stay safe. It'll be snowy and don't catch. That's the stupid. Love you guys. See ya.

This episode typifies Rob Carson’s blend of humor, personal engagement, conservative political commentary, and satire. Listeners are taken from down-to-earth stories of kindness to sweeping claims about AI and existential risk, through the fog of today’s politics and culture wars, rounded off with parodic musical comedy and plugs for Rob’s TV show. The fast-paced banter with Christian Toto offers both nostalgia and contemporary critique, while Carson's unfiltered take provides both entertainment and a window into a particular strain of American talk radio.
