Rob Carson
Hold it. 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. Welcome to the final hour of the show. Today I'm gonna be taking next week and the week after off to drive across the country and see my kids and my dogs. And so we're not gonna be streaming next week. And, you know, there's, There's a lot of. Listen, there's a lot of me online, okay? You can watch older shows, whatever, and I'll be checking in a lot on social media. Not a lot lot lot. You know, it won't be political. It'll be more personal stuff. Maybe even sharing some recipes. When I make the. The food that my daughter is begging me to make when I get back to the Kansas City area, she's already asked me for cinnamon rolls because I make a cinnamon roll that'll kick your butt. I make. I make a. I make a. Oh, are you ready? I'm gonna. I'm gonna destroy you. You're. This is gonna be in your mind all day. Maple bacon cinnamon rolls. Maple bacon cinnamon rolls. Maple bacon cinnamon rolls. Yeah. I even do the pork belly. I let it soak in real maple syrup for a couple days, give it a light rinse, stick it in the smoker with hickory. My God, it is so good. And homemade Mac cheese. I'm gonna make some sick and wrong Mac cheese. And I'm gonna make some sick and wrong. I'm gonna smoke a salmon. I'm gonna make some smoke salmon fettuccine. So I'll be sharing that on. Did I just destroy you for the day? I did, didn't I? You're. Now you're focusing on food. The DNC is scrapping its report on what went wrong in 2024. Ken Martin, the Democrat National Committee chairman, ordered the autoppy autopsy months ago, but says that it would. It would be counterproductive to the party to actually look at itself and how it failed. I love this. I just. I love it, love it, love it. They don't get it. They are not. They have not learned from loss in the. The, The. The thing you learn from the most is loss. You learn more, obviously from loss than victory any day of the week. And, and they're doing it anyway. They're doing anyway. This is glorious. It's just absolutely glorious. I, I want to do, you know, this last year. I'm going to throw a bunch of stuff at You, I think, are kind of fun. One of them is Sebastian. Go. Sebastian Gorkha. Seb Gorka is an amazing guy. I've had the opportunity to meet him a couple times. I'm not sure he's that crazy about me. I think you may not think I'm in a serious individual, so. But anyway, I mean, he's polite to me and everything. He just. We've not had any extended conversations, but, you know, maybe that'll change. He's friends with Chris Plant. Chris Plant is a good buddy of mine. But I. But I love Sebastian Gorka. I love it because he's an American badass if you ever met him. He's six foot, like six four. You don't look that tall on television. But he is a big man. He makes me look small. And so I'm at the Newsmax Christmas party and he was being interviewed yesterday talking about what the. What Donald Trump has done for terrorism to take down terrorists. And I just thought I'd play it apropos or nothing because he just kicks ass. Mr. Solomon, I would never accuse you of fake news. So let my talking to John Solomon, one of my heroes who's been on this show, and I've had the opportunity to meet him a couple times. Mr. Solomon, I would never accuse you of fake news. So let my. Let me couch it as a breaking update exclusive for you and your team as of this morning. Yes, we are. We. We are. As of this morning at 449 jihadis who have been terminated since the president was sworn back in again, that is excluding the Houthi campaign, excluding cartel drug boats. Breaking news on your show. 449 jihadis vaporized. Wow. I love it. It's incredible. I mean, you were just on a month ago, it was like seven. You're just making huge progress. We are getting these guys every day. I think people are waking up to the notion that ISIS has been behind a lot of mischief in the last few months. You've got them on the radar. You're knocking them out every day. Yes, but they kind of reconstituted themselves during the Biden years. And ISIS got a little bit more Jews under Joe Biden, sadly. So when we came in, as you well recall, in the first Trump administration, the president inherited this philosophy. Obama actually said publicly, ISIS is just a generational threat you have to live with. Well, we said, no, we're not putting up with US nationals being beheaded, Jordanian fighter pilots being burnt alive, Yazidi women being raped by the school. And so the president declared war on the ISIS caliphate. And within a matter of weeks, the physical caliphate that had been established by the jihadi threat group in Syria, in Iraq, was gone. However, there are always survivors. There are new recruits. Where did they go? Under the Biden administration, Australia. Counterterrorism was in fact used to target Americans, as you well know. Yeah, absolutely true. That's what the Biden administration did. And we. That's the next thing we've got to wipe the world of radical jihad. Radical Islam has to be eliminated. Has to be eliminated on our shores. If you espouse radical Islam, you lose your place in the country. You lose everything. You lose your visa, you lose your citizenship, you leave the country for Christmas. Here's something from Jim Gossett about the narco terror boats that Democrats love. So much excess winning. He is thinning out the drug dealer feeling trade in the air. Bombs are dropping on drug boats and Democrats are siding with the drug guys. Unbelievable. Wow. To get fentanyl through. Wow. And in most every ocean you'll hear. What will we hear, Jim? Exploding boats. Boom, boom, boom. Exploding boats. Bang, bang, bang. Taking out all their drug shipments. This makes me smile. But Duro's sad, been hurt bad. Soon he will be overthrown. Bye, bye. Bombing boats. Bombing boats. They're drug boats, their truck boats. More will be blown up today. Yeah, they got another two yesterday. And the Democrats were all butthurt about it because, you know, they love, love, love their terrorists. Anything to be against Donald Trump, anything at all to be against Donald Trump. And you know, it's gonna, it's gonna backfire on him because this next year is gonna be amazing. It's gonna be amazing. Joe Biden, he was involved in the raid on Mar A Lago, by the way. We are discovering that there was no reason to raid Mar A Lago. There were FBI agents who said there's no reason to. There's no just cause to. They did it because they wanted to find something. They wanted to pin something on Donald Trump. They planted folders on the floor and pretended like they were classified in top secret documents underneath them. It was really what the Gestapo would do. Here's a report from Fox Biden White.
- [07:54]
Christian Toto
House coordinated on raid of Trump's Mar A Lago then took convo offline. Right. Ex DOJ official says that.
- [08:02]
Rob Carson
Fox News follows up with this.
- [08:04]
Christian Toto
FOX News Digital reviewed emails between FBI and Justice Department officials in the months leading up to the August 2022 raid of Mar A Lago with FBI officials expressing concerns about a lack of probable cause to execute the Search warrant on then former president's resident.
- [08:21]
Rob Carson
It didn't matter. And also those other 91 counts were all fake too. And the four trials were fake too. They use the, the DH, the D. DOJ to, to find the man and then, then, then find the crime and make up anything, parlay some sort of thing that was beyond the statue of limitations, limitations or, or, or parlay a misdemeanor into a felony. Anything that they could do. And that didn't work. They tried to take him off the ballot and when that didn't work, they tried to kill him in Palm Beach.
- [08:50]
Christian Toto
I mean, this is a big deal.
- [08:51]
Rob Carson
This is why we're not going anywhere. This is why we would fight to the end for this man and our country as founded. Because he's the only thing standing between us and our destruction.
- [09:06]
Christian Toto
Not getting a lot of, getting a lot of coverage.
- [09:08]
Rob Carson
It should.
- [09:09]
Christian Toto
Because this shows about. This is some bad political behavior. Not only bad political behavior. Trace. In the history of our country, we have never, ever. And I'm not using hyperbole here, this is the true sanity check. We have never seen a miscarriage of justice, a weaponization of a justice system. System against a former president like we have President Trump.
- [09:28]
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah. Nothing like it. And I witnessed it in real time. You witnessed it in real time. Here's, here's Scott Pelly, Scott Pelley, who talks like Sam the Eagle from the Muppet show, talking with Joe Biden. His brain was a little working a little bit better. It was like at 40% capacity, talking about how Joe Biden had no idea what was going at Mar A Lago, even though he freaking lied. Have you been briefed, sir, on the top secret documents that were found at Mar A Lago? No. No one has come to you to warn you that important national security secrets were revealed by the storage of those documents at the former president. I have not personally spoken to anyone on that in that regard. I'm sure my administration is aware of all of that. And so is the nest because they've been working together to go after Donald Trump. Notified of the FBI's execution of a search warrant at Mar A Lago. No, no, you actually were part of it. The FBI spread the documents out on a floor to make a record of what was found. No, no, they didn't. They, they put some folder covers on things that they brought with them. When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out. There weren't any. The floor at Mar A Lago, what did you think to yourself looking at that image how that could possibly happen, how one, anyone could be that irresponsible. I'm going to tell you, I have no pity for Joe Biden. I have no thought about him, a no positive thought about him whatsoever. I will not wish anything bad upon him. Although he is an evil, filthy, rotten scumbag. He's the most corrupt president in the history of our country. He has done nothing while in, in office to serve us, to serve the country. He has only served himself. He is a scumbag. His son is a scumbag. His wife is a scumbag. His entire family are scumbags. I know I'm not supposed to say that during the Christmas season, but what he did to our country, what he tried to do to us, what he did to Donald Trump, I'm not going to forgive him. I'll let, I'll leave that up to, you know, somebody in the next life. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. This is John Solomon, one of the great journalists in America today. Just the news, talking about how the, our government, our government became the Soviet Union intelligence agent, now retired, very senior. He looked me in the eye and said, the truth of the matter is we took the playbook for psychological operations and information warfare that we would use against our enemies and we turned it against the American people to undo the 2016 election and to make sure they didn't elect Donald Trump in 2020. Now, that is a senior intelligence officer with more than 30 years of experience, a patriot who served in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. And he understood that the tactics of making something fake look real were ripped right out of our intelligence communities. Our intelligence. Yeah. And, you know, it has been very difficult to defend the obvious truths of the election of 2020, the COVID protocols, the southern border, all of the, all of the nonsense. The Russia collusion has been very difficult when you have a media slavishly covers it as fact and leaves journalistic curiosity behind. And consequently, there are masses of people that, without proof, tell you you're a conspiracy theorist. It has been dreadful and it has weighed heavy on the hearts of conservatives for years. And I said during the last election that hell is coming and it needs to come for those who did this to us because it is, it is dreadful, dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. We know that the city of Washington, D.C. the police chief, the outgoing police chief who should be brought up on charges, forced her officers, investigators to lie about crime statistics to make it seem like Washington, D.C. was safer than it was. I Believe the they said that crime was down 27%. It was actually up 2%. The city was riddled with homelessness, carjackings happening by the dozens every single day. Donald Trump brought in the National Guard. The mayor had to go along with it and now she is outgoing and under investigation. And the police chief is outgoing as well. Gilbert, Arizona police have been accused of falsifying crime statistics through underreporting, revealing possible nationwide trend after 2024. FBI crime stats find the massive plunge in violent crime in D.C. police caught rigging data. So this looks like it could have been happening for the election year. It looks like the Democrat party was working with municipalities around the country to lie about crime data. So it would appear and it was a lie because it was ridiculous to think otherwise. Because they drove officers by the thousands from their ranks because they defunded the police, demonized the police. Let these pro crime judges, pro criminal judges let people out with a slap on the wrist. Gangs run roughshod through municipalities in New York and Colorado and whatnot. Here's a report from Gilbert, Arizona.
- [15:11]
Christian Toto
Gilbert, Arizona, a town known nationwide. The beauty found in its quiet family streets. Endorsed by an impressive federal designation. Yeah, listen, one of the safest places to live. It's a lie, but some say it's all a lie. The question is, are we as safe as we told the public we were? Police officers and the residents have suffered as a result. Last month, former councilman Bill Spence pulling back the curtain during public comment Spence detailing a conversation he had with current town councilman Kenny Buckland, who used to be high up within Gilbert police. During these conversations he made several concerning statements about Gilbert Police Department policies implemented by former police chief Tim Dorn. Spence says Buckland told him a decade ago Gilbert police changed crime reporting protocol.
- [15:58]
Rob Carson
They said we were getting safer, but we weren't. They are just evil.
- [16:01]
Christian Toto
Protocol designating a new priority for calls for in reference to Chief Dorn, he said he fudged numbers. The change was called priority zero and he specifically talked about bank robberies. Injury collisions were the ones that he had cited that were specifically moved out of the highest priority into another priority. Spence says priority zero is abnormal. Data is typically tracked priority one through four and when calls got moved you could see the difference. We had 15,000 emergency calls for service simply by manipulating the numbers and establishing a priority zone zero. We took 14,500 calls and moved them into a different priority, leaving only 500 calls for our most severe service. The new numbers sent to the FBI creating a resounding designation as the 2022 second safest city in America. Well, in that, in that specific instance, it took our response times, our reported response times from 6 minutes and 31 seconds down to under 4 minutes doing by doing nothing but changing the database. Spence says the town's newfound reputation came at a cost. With less crime, fewer officers, but it's all based on bad numbers.
- [17:12]
Rob Carson
Yeah, so the crime was actually worse, but they were lying about it. So they required fewer police. So fewer police, more crime. According to August 5, 2025 press release from the FBI, more than 16,000 state, county, city, university and college and tribal agencies covering a combined population of 95.6% of the U.S. population submitted data to the UCR program through the national Incident based reporting system and their summary reporting system in 2024. And national crime decreased an estimate 4.5% in 2024. How many of the municipalities were lying? Because it was an election year? It was all a friggin lie. It was all a lie. The COVID relief was all a lie. It was all looted. The treasury was looted. The border was open, the treasurer was looted. The overall rates of violent property crime in the United states declined in 2024, recording the lowest property crime rates and lowest violent crime since 1969. It was all a fricking lie. In addition to the overall crime rate reduction, homicides down 32%, 79% down. Carjacking down. All a lie. All a lie. Pamela Smith, the chief of police in D.C. used fear, intimidation, threats, retaliation to force officers and police commanders to manipulate crime data. With a Democrat in charge, do you suppose that crime went down? No, of course it didn't go down. They defunded the police in the summer of 2020. They never recovered. They allowed people to go into cities like, like Los Angeles, steal $1,000 from any store, walk out without being charged with being charged with a misdemeanor. People getting slapped on and municipalities line New York. It was all a massive lie. Everything was a massive lie. The Democrat party destroyed every metric of quality of life in America. This is why they're out of power. This is why they need to be held accountable and people need to go to jail. We will never forget what you put us through, Democrats. We will never forget what you did, particularly to our President and to the country as founded and as we go into 2026. It is going to be a glorious year and we are going to overwhelm you with JO and patriotism and justice. Thank you very much.

But first I'll have a blue little Michael Buble. I'm gonna have to go with now. Carpenter's first Buble. Second, Vince Guaraldi. Christ, no, no, that's girl to Christmas too. Boublay. Third. I don't know. Mariah Carey on the bottom of the list. I can't listen to that song anymore. I just can't do it. Hello, Christian. Toto. How are you today? I'm good. You know, all I want for Christmas is you is like catnip to women. Like, like dancing Queen at a wedding reception. It's crazy. They just start dancing. It's involuntary.
- [21:37]
Christian Toto
Yeah, certain songs we have this connection to for sure, especially this time of the year. Although my favorite songs are often from the animated specials. Whether it's a put one in front of the other or Snow Miser, Heat Miser. Those are the songs that just. I can't stop playing them this time of year.
- [21:53]
Rob Carson
There's a guy on on Social Media doing those songs and scenes from those movies kind of stop action motion with himself. And they're absolutely hilarious. I've been reposting them on social media. I don't, I don't have in front of me. Just absolutely hilarious. He's. I think he's probably like a millennial, pretty young guy, but those things are evergreen, man. Even though they're just. The animation is terrible but, but they're, they're wonderful. They're just wonderful. The island of Misfit toys. You know, it's amazing. A couple of things I want to mention off the top of the bat. Scott Adams of a Dilbert fame. I saw a brief video of him last night. He does not appear to be doing well. He says he's paralyzed below the waist. So he appears to have begun declining despite the last ditch effort. Effort in the experimental treatment for cancer. And I just would hope that you pray for him. It's just so dreadful, cancer. I hope and I hope that this. They keep talking about AI and what it can do and the possibility it'll cure cancer. And I'm just so damn tired of watching people die so early of it, to be quite honest.
- [22:57]
Christian Toto
I am too. It's just like the older you get, the more and more horrible stories, the more and more people who are younger facing this fight and you know, it's a fight that sometimes can be won. My wife had breast cancer and she's doing well, but the specter of it coming back, even for Survivor, always there. It's Harper.
- [23:14]
Rob Carson
I know it is. It's dreadful. It's dreadful. All right, so there's another Avatar movie. Wow. Yeah. Yippee skippy. I thought the first one was pretty good. I thought the giant blue alien girls were pretty hot. And then the second one, I guess was pretty good. And now you say that even, even maybe Cameron's getting tired of the Avatar franchise. Yeah.
- [23:34]
Christian Toto
You know, I watched the new one, which is Avatar Fire and Ash opening this weekend and he has said publicly that this is the end of this chapter in the story, but there may be more movies to come. And I remember watching the end of this thinking it didn't feel like a finale. I mean, there was an ending, there was a. It was sort of a story elements that wrapped up to a degree. But if you've got a massive franchise like this, you want to end on a note. That's really significant. That's profound. That's. Oh my gosh, this is the end and it didn't happen like that. So I don't Know what's going on in Cameron's brain. Listen, these films are beautiful. The 3D amazing. I don't know what he does, his magic behind this camera, but he's able to create these visuals that are like nothing you've seen before. So I can't take things away from him. But it's a story that feels like a rehash of the last film. Some of the dialogue is so bad, you want. Want to poke your ears out. You know, got problems and, you know, I don't know whether it was less preachy than the last two, where I'm used to it, or even he is tired of the sort of the lecturing and the finger wagging. I don't know. That didn't bother me as much this time. But he's alternately a genius and a hack. It's a very weird combination, but it's.
- [24:43]
Rob Carson
A lot of time.
- [24:43]
Christian Toto
I just wish he had a collaborator who can kind of reign in his impulses.
- [24:46]
Rob Carson
Yeah, I guess I get a little lost in the CGI and it becomes to be boring. It's like. It's like a lot of the superhero movies now. It's just, yawn. You've got to be really original. You know, Guardians of the Galaxy was really original. The first Iron man was really original. The first Deadpool was really original. Those were like, wow, wow, wow. The last. What was it? Wolverine versus. What the hell? Oh, my God, it was dreadful. All they did was stab and kill each other. And stab and kill and slaughter and kill. There's this one scene in the car with this stab and kill each other for about an hour. And you're like, oh, God, please, can we just do something else?
- [25:24]
Christian Toto
Well, you're right. And also, when you watch the New avatar, the first 10 minutes, you're thinking, this is stunning. I am a dog. I am enjoying this. I just can't believe my eyes. But after a while, it just becomes normal. And then you're waiting for the story and the characters and something of consequence that kick in, and it really never does.
- [25:41]
Rob Carson
I remember when I saw it in IMAX and I. And I just. All I could think of is those blue alien babes are pretty hot. They're like eight feet tall. Hell, yeah, I did. I was like, wow. Dang. I've never been attracted to something with a tail. Anyway, so.
- [25:58]
Christian Toto
You'Re very progressive there.
- [26:02]
Rob Carson
So starting in 2029, the irrelevant Oscars will have its annual awards on. On YouTube. On YouTube. Yeah. The. The 2028 will be the last time it's on ABC. It used to be seen by 30, even 50 million people. Since 2021, the ratings have remained in the teens. And so it looks like Oscar. Oscar is just never gonna be the same, is it?
- [26:25]
Christian Toto
No, no. Absolutely not. I didn't write this joke, but I'm stealing it from someone. I don't know who said it, but they said, like, and subscribe. Like, and smash that subscribe button. And now back to the Oscars. I mean, that's what we're dealing with here. It's. It's at the guard. And maybe it all makes sense. But also, you know, it was one of the major trades. Just had an article saying, now we can finally have the. The unedited, longer version of the Oscar ceremony that we've all about. I'm thinking, dude, are you crazy that that shows three and a half hours long? I want to kill myself.
- [26:54]
Rob Carson
Just so. It's so preachy, and it's gotten so elite, and the Hollywood is so out of touch, and they can't seem to find a host. Obviously, the heyday was Billy Crystal when he hosted the Oscars. Then you could just really look forward to it, you know, and then it's Kimmel, then it's o'. Brien. And o' Brien was pretty good. And then they had what's his name from Family Guy. You know, he did. I thought he did a pretty good job, by the way. I thought he did a pretty good job.
- [27:23]
Christian Toto
But, you know.
- [27:25]
Rob Carson
Yeah, yeah. Just. I don't know. I'm not. We're not as enamored by it. And I think also there's so much. There's such a volume of work out there, it's almost blurring. Because sometimes when I talk to you, Christian, I go, will you talk about something on Hollywoodintoto.com and I go, is that in the theaters or is it streaming? Because they're just so much out there. Yeah.
- [27:48]
Christian Toto
You know, the media marketplace is just too busy. It's too muddy. It's too filled. But the Oscars used to slice through that. It used to matter. We used to rally around it. We'd make pools. You know, let's pick all the nominees and see who wins and blah, blah, blah. It just doesn't happen anymore. And there's a million reasons why. The arrogance of the event itself, for sure. The whole more political. But the perfect storm of, yeah, we don't care anymore.
- [28:11]
Rob Carson
Yeah. You know, there was some controversy this week. Rob Reiner was. Was murdered. It's just a tragic story. And, you know, I don't blame Donald Trump. For what he said about Robert Ryan and Rob Reiner was awful to him for. For decades. I can't. Can't imagine I would send funeral flowers, but it's a. It's a tragedy. He did some beautiful movies, though. My son and I watched. This is Spinal Tap. The Princess Bride is a classic. It's a movie that. I mean, everybody quotes. Everybody quotes. But you have on your. On your Hollywood in Toto, the one Rob Reiner classic that get overlooked. Which one's that?
- [28:43]
Christian Toto
Yeah, I pulled a sure thing from 1985. It's John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga. It's a road trip comedy. It's a romcom, It's a little bit of body. The whole premise is that he's going to meet a sure thing. A girl who is charmed very easily, let's just put it that way. Scenes and it's got a heart to it, you know, that's the best. Romcoms are sweet at the end of the day, even if they can get a little raunchy. A little R rated. This one, I don't think it's R rated.
- [29:06]
Rob Carson
But the sure thing. The sure thing thing, you know, the older you get, the less sure those things are. By the way, I'm. I'm single now. I'll just tell you. I ain't sure of nothing. I know what. I know what I'm sure of. I'm gonna be sleeping by myself tonight. One other thing I want to mention. Gil Gerard. This is gonna, you know, mean something to Gen Xers. Famous for Captain Buck Rogers in the series 1979 with the. What was the robot that he had? It was. He was Mel Blanc. One of his last roles was as the robot. But was it Twiggy or something like that? I can't remember.
- [29:43]
Christian Toto
Okay.
- [29:45]
Rob Carson
Yeah, that was. That was. That was. That was the voice of Bugs bunny. Holy hell. 82 years old, he. He passed away with cancer. Cancer again. He had some amazing things to say. He said, don't waste your time on anything that doesn't thrill you or bring you love. See you out. See you out there somewhere in the cosmos is what he said. I thought that was pretty cool.
- [30:05]
Christian Toto
Yeah, a lot of memories of that and people are very sad on Facebook, for sure. And for good reason.
- [30:09]
Rob Carson
Absolutely. Well, Christian, I appreciate you. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. It's such a blessing to be able to have you and share you with a national audience. I've known you for many years and I just want you to know I Appreciate you.
- [30:20]
Christian Toto
I feel the same way. Thanks so much.
- [30:22]
Rob Carson

Kevin Warren, Warren did call me yesterday. We didn't get a chance to connect, you know, and wouldn't this be the icing on the cake for just an awful, awful mayor? And honestly, what a joke. Brandon Johnson, the city of Chicago is a complete disgrace. He's polling at like 4% and the bears are considering pulling out of Chicago. And you know what? Chicago gets what it gets. It's just too damn bad. And they're a damn good team this year too, by the way. But Brandon Johnson is an absolute disgrace. What a. What a buffoon. What a car cartoon. What a fool. It's just sad that the people of Chicago keep electing idiots like that. Here's a nice Christmas story for you, Jenny. Jeanine Beaman or Jeannie Beam and 72 year old Target employee. Maybe you've seen her. She was being rated for wearing a Charlie Kirk freedom T shirt in viral video. She's come forward to speak to the media about Michaela Ponce who works for in low health and she's basically forgiving her. Ponce has released a statement which is not written in the way she speaks her. She's begging for forgiveness after the the police announced they've dropped their investigation into the incident because she was just cruel. She was using all sorts of awful language. This 72 year old woman. The F you and F this and F that and Charlie Kirk and this and all that. They did a gifts in go fundraiser and now Jeannie Beeman who works at 20 target has $215,000. The incident took place in Chico, California and uploaded to TikTok by Ponce herself. She shut down all of her social media accounts shortly after they published it and people went nuts on it before being locked down. Ponce's TikTok channel featured videos of her complaining about her mother wanting to gift a bible to her teenage nephew, threatening to start a blog exposing all of the secrets of people who live in her Town laughing out about people in her believing that she was a hit list on whatever that means. She sounds like an awful human being. Like a, like a Karen in the video of her berating this, this genie, she, she repeatedly saying that she's effing stupid, accusing of her of being a racist. And. And here is what Jeannie had to say after all of that. And she was very polite, by the way. Very, very polite in the exchange never went off about this awful, awful woman. This, this pon begging for her job and begging for forgiveness. I hope that she's learned something from it, but you never know.

I know people are calling for her to be fired for this. Do you think that that's right? Would you like that to happen? No, I, I don't think that's. That's right. Like one saying I have is two wrongs don't make a right. You know, she wronged me, but I don't want to wrong her or I don't want her. Her wrong because it's not going to make it right. I mean that was her opinion. She. But she's the one that put it on Facebook or put it on. On that. So, you know, but I really wouldn't want to see somebody lose their job over it.

Wow, that's pretty amazing, isn't it? I want to share something with you. I haven't played it, I haven't listened to it in, in a year last Valentine's Day and, and nothing has gotten more has been mentioned to me by listeners more than this moment on Valentine's Day last year where for the first time in my life in broadcasting, I was at a loss for words. Come in here with joy in my heart every single day. I did it through the, the last presidency, particularly the last election year year. I've done it through the death of my mother. I've done it through a lot of things. And today's Valentine's Day and today, and I hate to say this because I tried so hard. I was served divorce papers today during the show. I wanted to prove my family wrong. I wanted to prove my past wrong. Wrong. What I went through with a father who left me and parents who were unhappily married. And I did my level best to be the best father and husband that I could and devoted my life to my family and experienced some hardships, lost my job and fell into depression the last few years. In the turn, in the span of three years, I lost my mother and my brother and I found out that my mother gave me up for adoption because I was raped and I fell into a deep depression and alcohol, my mother was racist and I had a miracle happen. I recovered from it. I woke up one morning and I didn't remember the taste of alcohol and I didn't go through withdrawals and I'd been through withdrawals before and I'd been hospitalized. And I devoted myself to my family for making up everything that I did wrong during those times. And I did my level best. I, I bought a house with sales from selling cars and got a she shed in the backyard where my wife could enjoy her time by herself and got her there her dream convertible last summer and got her through her mother's death and even read her mother's eulogy. She asked me to write the eulogy and I presume that she was unhappy because of her mother's death. But there was no hope of ever rekindling a relationship after so much. And I'm sharing this with you because I would ask that you pray for me and pray for my family. I wanted to share that. That was the most difficult thing I've ever, I've ever done on the radio. On the other side of the break, I'm going to explain why it's a good thing. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Before the end of the show, I want to say hi to Sophia in Perry Hall. Hello, Sophia. Welcome to the show. Hi. How you are? How are you?

Thank you so much for your kind, sincere words. You know, we all go through different things and different situations and we, my husband and I have learned to say the serenity prayer every morning. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. And I just want you to know everyone is. And the in the listening audience, we love you and we care for you and I, I hope that you continue to root where you're planted.

Bye. Bye. I didn't want to, I didn't want to end on a sad note, but. But this year was really rough. The previous year was rough too, but, but I'm realizing as I move past the grief and you know, this year I put all of my belongings into it at U Haul in my studio and I hauled it out here and I had a studio waiting for me. I met a man named Mark Giuliani who had a studio and it just fell together. It just happened. And I know there's a reason why this came together, why my divorce actually had to happen. And while I'm still angry and it's still hurtful, and I had plans for my life that were different than they are now, now I realize that it's all for the better. And I know you're there for me. And I want you to know that I'm here for you. And I will never stop putting all of my heart and soul into this program. Because it's more than just a guy talking on the radio. We have come together and I think God brought us together. I really do. I believe God brought us together. We are seeing a patriotic and faith rebirth in this country like we've never seen. And there's no army stronger than us. No one will ever defeat us. We will win. I love you guys so much. Thank you for your prayers. They they buoy me the last year. Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart. Happy Hanukkah. Happy New Year. I will see you in early January. Until then, don't catch the stupid. I love you guys. See ya.
