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. This is the Rob Carson show, the only conservative talk show in America that not only entertains, informs, but motivates people. Motivates people. You know, opinions are easy. You know, opinions are like, you know, that everybody's got one. But, you know, the last thing I think talk radio needs is another one of those on the radio, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Rush Limbaugh passed away on this day five years ago. It's hard to believe. It's hard to believe. I'm gonna tell you that guy. I have, you know, connection with Rush Limbaugh. And I got out of College in 1989. I was making no money. I was making $18,500 a year, bringing home $487 every two weeks. My rent was 400. My car payment was 400. So I decided I could write comedy. And I started writing comedy for some comedy networks. And I heard about this guy named Rush Limbaugh. I'd been in New York for about a year and so started writing for Rush. And I did Capitol Hill bank and Capitol Hill Post Office and Geriatric Park. Let me go ahead and pull up one here. Let me see if I can pull up an old bit that I did for shows that sound. Would that be fun? You think that'd be fun? Let's do one here. Hold on. Let's do. I don't want to do Capitol Hill Bank. I don't think it's going to sound so good. Let's do X. I'll do Capitol Hill Bank. This is the first bit I did for Rush Limbaugh. It may sound a little muddy. This is the first bid I did for Rush Limbaugh. And now another Capitol Hill bank moment. I'm working behind the counter at the bank when in comes another freshman congressman. He puts that's me 500 into his new checking account. Boy, you should have seen the voice has changed a little look on his face when I told him that 500 in a capital Guild checking account is on. Congressmen never keep that kind of money in the bank. So this kindly teller tells me my $500 is worth 60 to $100,000 in check writing. My friend Bruce Jones privileges. Until that moment, I never realized how much I was going to love living in Washington. Capitol Hill bank for personal service. I like to really get involved with my customers. Why? Once Congressman called me from this big drinking party he was throwing, said he needed some more checks. So I went to his party with a box of checks. Now, this is about 1989, and we found out that the people on Capitol Hill Congress had their own bank and they could withdraw money, take out loans, and never have to pay it back. Yeah, they had a post office, too. I did a thing called Capitol Hill Post Office. Same thing. Have things gotten better? No, they've gotten even more corrupt. Now they're enriching themselves to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars through insider trading and, and, and stealing and just stealing. Yeah, that was, that was 1989 right there, people. Anyway, Rush Limbaugh, you know, was a massive impact on, on us. I like to say he came along at the right place, at the right time with the right skill set, and he changed the world. He changed the world. Here is what here is. I don't want to play this here. Let's do Russia's message about Trump. Our borders are secure. Our families are flourishing. Our values are renewed. Trump loves this country in ways that many people in politics in the past don't, because their view of what America is is a nation among many in the world. President Trump believes in America first. And can you imagine folks being hated and reviled for this? And yet he is. He's hated and reviled for loving America.
