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. What a glorious Friday it is. I am in the Christmas spirit, fully 100,000%. The other day I came into work and I had Spotify on my phone playing Blue Christmas. Elvis Presley and I just walked into the building playing. I just, you know, I had a terrible Christmas last year. And, and I am back and, and I think you should be, you should be really proud to live in America because finally we're beating back the horde that told us that we should kneel during the national anthem, that America was racist. We should be ashamed of, of our, of our history and all of that and very fortunate to live in the Washington, D.C. area. You know, it's been a very difficult year and started off with divorce and all of that. And you know, even though the divorce was awful, it was, it was, it was a part of the process to me moving here. And so in some ways it was a blessing for a number of reasons, I'll just say, for a number of reasons. There's a moment you, you have, you have grieving, you have anger. Not quite over the anger. You know, still got a little bit of that going because I wanted to have an intact family for my, for my life. I really did. I said, and I used to say, because when I got sober and I changed my life completely and you know, got the nationally syndicated radio program and television program, which is to still just a miracle. Just a miracle. I mean, I mean, I know you might listen to Hannity, you might listen back. They've been famous for a long time. Rush Limbaugh is famous for a long time. They got discovered very early. Beck and Rush were 37 when they were syndicated. I was 54. And, and I went through a lot of abuse and bull crap and blacklisting and nonsense and had to be forced into jobs that I hated where I was under massive restrictions for my creativity and whatnot. And finally ago I said, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. I'm going to do talk radio and I'm going to do this show. And. And then the last decade happened. In the last decade was, you know, just the brutal. Just brutal. I like to say a lot of times you look back at your past and you go, I wouldn't change a thing because it made me who I was. I can't do anything about the last decade, but I will tell you, I wouldn't survive it. I wouldn't survive it. And I'm. By the grace of God, I did. By the grace of God, I did. And, and I'll save this for the end of the show. I've got some other things I want to say about it because I think it's one of the most important things about this move here was bringing you with me. I know. You don't, I don't know. There's a lot of people out there. There's a lot of people. You know, Scott Jennings just got a new show. It's gonna be up against my show, which I don't care. It's fine. I'm not threat it. I do a show that nobody else does. If you just want an opinion or a news show, you can listen to an opinion or news show. I'm gonna give you more than that because I've spent 30 plus years of my career becoming this, doing this, writing comedy for rush Limbaugh for 20 years. Being the first guy to really bring comedy to Rush Limbaugh's program. Before that he was running bits from Weird Al movies. And then I was in my 20s and I grew and now I'm running it on my own show and walking in righteous footsteps. No one ever filling his shoes. But what we're doing here is uniquely entertaining and connective. Leading opinion, doing satire. It's important and it's really important that I'm here. And I feel like fate has brought me here. Despite the pain, despite the speed bumps and you're here with me. I can, I can feel your presence. I know, I know that sounds strange, but I can. And I see you guys in the, in the chat, on the, on the live stream, which is the number one streaming product for Newsmax. Social media just blew up. Zero to number one. Last December is when we signed on for the first time. About a year ago we signed on social media doing the livestream number one immediately growing every Week, growing every week. Because if you just want an opinion, listen to another opinion show. But if you want this, if you want it all, you want entertainment, you, you want information, you want opinion, you want inspiration, that's what I'm here to do. And fate has brought us all here together because of all we went through the last decade. Fate has brought us together, this confluence, this serendipitous moment. I believe this from the bottom of my heart and soul. I see on Twitter that the Holy Spirit has been trending for an hour. It's pretty amazing. They are already putting up the Trump Kennedy center sign at the Kennedy Center. Cue the liberals heads exploding.
