This is the Rob Carson Show. It's Monday, kids. Did you have a nice weekend? I had a hell of a weekend. Oh my God, did I have a weekend. I went to Delaware. Delaware. Oh my God. You know, I never thought when I was a kid that I would like Delaware so much. Not so crazy about the people in charge of Delaware, the state government. They lean way left. But I spent a lot of time in Sussex county, which is kind of like the Staten island of Delaware where, where they till a lot of soil. It's like Iowa meets the ocean. It is. It's Iowa meets the ocean for God's sake. They rain the same one just like Iowa. They raise corn and then they rotate the crops with beans. And I saw sorghum and then I saw hog farrowing units. And in they have chickens, large chicken farms there where they raise chickens and everything, just like Iowa. And then all of a sudden there's the beach. There's the beach right over there. So literally five miles away from the beach, there's corn fields and gorgeous little towns and everything. I remember when I was in third grade, we were all asked as a third grade assignment to write a different state and ask for information about the state. And you know, one kid got a. You got Wyoming. And they send the kid a damn leather bound, you know, friggin thing. It was gorgeous. It was hand hammered and all this. And you know what I got from. I got Delaware, all right? So I write Delaware. I'm like, what the hell? Delaware is the smallest state. It's like Israel in the Middle East. It looks like a toenail clipping compared to the rest of the country, right? And they sent me a dang three fold flyer. That was what I had. And then I had to do my, my, you know, my big class presentation with my threefold flyer that had a stamp on it from Delaware. And it didn't say anything much about Delaware. But I got to tell you, since I got to know Delaware, and I've been going to Delaware for about 20 years now. So about in 2004 we started going to Rehoboth. Rehoboth is very left of center and super gay by the way. But you know, it's pretty cool. And then I got to know Sussex county, went out to this thing called Wings and Wheels. Saw these antique planes and frigging really cool, cool cars and Just had a blast. And I met hundreds of people and I signed hundreds of shirts. I sold my shirts. There I am, merchandise that people want to buy with my logo on it says, don't catch the stupid. And I got to meet so many people and hug so many people and shake so many hands. It was unbelievable. It was the best thing ever. And you know what? I'm looking at maybe putting a tiny home there and going there every other weekend or something, just hanging out and I got to have my grotto pizza. You know, my grotto pizza was as good as I ever imagined. It was absolutely, absolutely glorious. My God, So good. Grotto pizza. By the way, you know, for those of you live near a Grotto pizza, it's kind of like, oh, it's Grotto pizza. But if you don't live near a Grotto pizza, it's like, oh, my God, Grotto pizza is so fantastic. And it was everything that I wanted it to be. It was perfect. It's this tomato and then just a nice marinara sauce, then a swirl of cheese. That's all I wanted. And it was perfectly done and it was amazing. It was amazing. So I had a great weekend and I got to meet so many people and I just. I'm not worthy. I remember when I was a kid and I, you know, would used to, you know, Elvis Presley was my idol. I was a late comer to Elvis Presley. He was already on a precipitous slide into drug addiction when I discovered Elvis Presley when I was in elementary school. And when he died, I was in fourth grade, I guess, and I cried for about a year. But I remember being Elvis Presley. Must have been cool to be Elvis Presley. People come up to you and ask for your autograph and, you know, all these fawning fans and everything. And now I've got fans. It's just crazy. I had to pinch myself. I'm like, I can't believe I'm doing this for a living. My God, just five years ago, I was off food stamps and selling cars, for God's sake. It's remarkable. It's remarkable. I'm enormously blessed. And I. And I had somebody bring out a wonderful gift for my birthday coming up. And, you know, I'm not trying to make a big deal on my birthday. I just shared last night the video that I took of this wonderful little gift that people literally took the time to put together a gift for me. Who does this? Why do I deserve this? It's amazing to me that people would come up and bring me a T shirt. Bring me a T shirt that says make America grateful again. And then has Donald Trump looking like, you know, a led zed or not a Grateful Dead shirt. And then these wonderful people, Kevin and Laura, they brought me a gift bag and inside of it they were. I'm gonna be 60 damn years old. Okay, I'll just say it. You know, it's weird. I've never gotten old before. I don't feel old. I look pretty kick ass, you know, And I'm working, working on it, you know, I'm going to get even better shape now. But they, they, they put this bag and they, they had individual bags of things with 60 and like 60 pennies and 60 Q tips and 60 whatever. And, and it was just, it was thoughtful and wonderful. It was. I, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't deserve it, but damn, I'm so lucky. I'm so lucky. And, and every day that I realized that, that, you know, I waited a long time to get here, man, I was a, I was a, you know, an overnight success after 30 years in broadcasting, you know, and, and you know, as much as I, it was real. It was a hell of a journey. Was an arduous journey. And I'm not saying I'm there completely yet, but there's a reason why it, it lasted this long. It's a reason why you and I, you, we and I, and we came together. Now at this point in history, I really believe it. I believe it more than ever. And, and it was, it just meant so much to be out and see you guys. And somebody just wrote any 66 GTOs out there. You know, there were some GTOs I never saw a judge. I saw, I think, I thought it was a 66, but Astro? No, Tom K, who's one of my rumble guys, we got Tom a T shirt. We got round a pony a T shirt. All you guys who are chatting on the rumble, you guys have been there the longest. And now we've got all sorts of people on YouTube, on Newsmax, chatting, and we've got all sorts of people on Instagram watching the show live and all of that. Saw a lot of cool cars there. And you know what else I saw there? It's an interesting thing because in, in Sussex county, conservative county, it is about an even split. I don't even know what the demographics are, but a lot of black farmers and a lot of white farmers working side by side. And it was one of the most chill events. You walk up and there'd be a Brother with his car and there'd be a white guy with his car and he all just chilling out and hanging and fist bumping. It was just cool. It was really cool. So, you know, despite that third grade flyer that I got, you know, I'm pretty happy, I'm pretty happy that, you know, that I had had the opportunity to go to lovely, lovely Delaware this weekend. You know, it's really weird. My computer shows six, 6:57pm what the hell's wrong with my computer? That is really weird. This lap time of mine is showing the wrong time. I'm gonna have to adjust that. Anyway, we got a lot of stuff to get to and I'll get a little bit more in the, the Delaware thing, but obviously there's some things going on with the, with the shutdown of. The government has been shut down a few days and everybody's freaking out about it. You know the amazing thing, the Democrat Party is spent the entire weekend doing what they do best, bitching and whining about everything. Even though it's their friggin fault that the government is shut down. The Republican Party gave them a clean CR so they could iron things out. The Democrat Party has decided they wanted to extort more money out of us. A $1.5 trillion extort some more money from us because they never get enough money. And then they said Donald Trump is nowhere to be seen. Donald Trump is hiding out. No, Donald Trump won the 250th birthday of the Navy this weekend. And it kicked ass. I mean, he went out and it just kicked butt. He went out and here he is, here he is saying, God bless the United States of America. And then these planes flew over on cue and the crowd went nuts. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, the gargoyle, sitting in Washington D.C. together. And he said, yeah, it's Donald Trump shutdown. Do you see? I mean, the Democrat Party, you're in a death spiral. You're in absolute death spiral. And you stay in that death spiral because I'm going with this guy.
