This is the Rob Carson Show. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. I did not say that. Last hour. How could I possibly do such a thing? Welcome to the show. Show. Please come inside. We had a marvelous time with Tony Kennett from Daily Signal in the studio. I gotta tell you guys, my life has changed so much in the last four months, you wouldn't believe it. I, I know I've shared a good deal on the air because I feel like you're here with me in our nation's capital. That's what I'm here for. I'm here to bring this to you. You're here with me. I feel that that's why I share these things with you on social media. Today I had the honor of going to Heritage foundation, which was pretty cool. It's just, this is my life. Look at it. What's. I was selling cars five years ago, for God's sake. I was on food stamps before that. You know, lost my home in Maryland and had to move to Kansas City and worked at a radio station where they, you know, fired me after two years into a three year deal because I made too much money is what they said. They just didn't want to pay my raise. And then I had to wander in the wilderness and built a podcast on my own. When podcasting was in its infancy, when live broadcasting was in its infancy, I was doing it from a desktop. Before Facebook allowed you to broadcast on Facebook. You only had it on your phone. You only had it on your phone. And I figured it out. That was now almost, what, eight and a half years ago. Holy hell. And built a studio in Kansas City, you know, had the miracle happen in my life with sobriety and, and, and then ultimately got got. I got discovered by Chris Ruddy, got a nationally syndicated radio and television show and, you know, got sober and everything. And then, you know, election year came and my family fell apart. Oh, man, it's been a ride. It's been a hell of a ride. I had a point, and if you don't mind me sharing, I had a low point a couple weeks ago, an absolute low. As low as it was when I was drinking. It was real close. It wasn't, it wasn't like, please God, let me die at night, which is what I was doing then. But it was, it was low. And I. And I felt lonely, you know, because I. I was the cul de sac dwelling dad. I was the dad who did everything in the world for his kids. Relished every second of raising them, you know, loved my dogs, loved to cook for people, Made every meal, made every lunch, made every breakfast. When people came and stayed at our house, it was like staying at a bed and breakf and, you know, and all of that. And I don't have that. And I go home to an apartment. It's a nice apartment. Oh, I gotta reconnect the stream. Hold on a second. I gotta reconnect the stream. But I was feeling low and then I said, dammit, snap the hell out of it. Snap out of it. And usually you can't do that, but I did. And I realized that, yeah, my family's still there. They're just not in the same house as me. And you know what? I don't have time for anything but joy. I'm not saying I won't experience sadness, but I want to make joy a really big part of my life. And the only person who's going to be able to do that is me. And so I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that on the radio every day. I'm going to do that on the live stream every day. I'm going to do that on television every day. Because I'm worthless to you if I come in here and I'm not that person. And I can't entertain you and inform you and motivate and witness to you and witness to you with my story, because I think my story is important, particularly if you're struggling. So I am. I'm back on top of the world, man. Going over to Heritage foundation today and meeting Rob Bluey and some other people over there. I met Rob at cpac. It's just so strange for me to be able to say, me, Rob Carson went to Heritage foundation in D.C. and was warmly received. People shaking my hand, going, oh my God, Rob Carson. What the hell? When did that happen? It's just crazy. It's just crazy. So I'm going to do my level best to make this the most joyous place you can go on a daily basis. We're going to cover serious stuff, but I'm going to do my level best to inspire and motivate you because we are in a spiritual and patriotic rebirth in this country. And I'm not going to let the sons of bees on the left bring it down. There you go. That's all. That's that. I think it sounds good, doesn't it? You know what? I'm going to play that song again that Jim Gossett produced earlier today about sedition because, you know the six members of Congress tell members of the military and the CIA to disobey orders with just saying that they're calling them illegal orders, but basically disobey any order that you decide is illegal. Okay. Donald Trump is tweeting, I should say truthing this morning. It's called seditious behavior at the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put on trial. He's not backing off. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore. An example must be set. President Donald Trump, and I'm with him 100%, ladies and gentlemen, this is Jim.
