Key guest: Iowa Congresswoman and physician Marianette Miller-Meeks.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Unique Tone and Mission of the Show

Rob describes his program as a combination of comedy, satire, and serious political commentary, promising both entertainment and ahead-of-the-curve opinions (00:06).
“You got a lot of pundits who have radio shows… but there's only one show that kind of leans into, when we can, comedy, satire... Sometimes things are very serious, obviously, and we take the serious stuff too.” (A, 00:06)

2. Federal Agency Layoffs and Biden’s Legacy of Government Expansion

Rob reacts to news of mass layoffs in federal agencies, especially among probationary employees, and accuses the Biden administration of rampant, politically-motivated government hiring. He claims jobs were used to inflate employment numbers and benefit Democrat-aligned unions (00:50).
“[Democrats] reciprocate by sending them lots and lots of money and hiring lots and lots of people, like 87,000 IRS agents. 87,000 IRS agents. How many companies do you know that would hire 87,000 people at one time?” (A, 00:50)
Rob claims the government has wasted billions, sending “blank checks” that are hard to audit or trace, and “if your company did this, you would have already lost your job and your boss would be in jail.” (A/B, 04:47–05:30)

3. Fraud, Waste, and Accountability in Federal Spending

Rob and his guest lambaste the inefficient, unaccountable use of federal funds, describing absurd payment practices and a dysfunctional “Do Not Pay” list that lags in identifying suspected fraudsters (05:05–05:30).
The new Trump administration is characterized as slashing waste and “clawing back” unnecessary spending, shutting down or reducing numerous federal programs, including environmental grants targeted for climate and "environmental justice" causes (A, 08:45).

4. Media and Political Hypocrisy on Audits & Government Oversight

Rob and a soundbite from Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) call out what Rob sees as media and Democratic hypocrisy in demanding audits of Trump/Musk government efforts after supporting mass hiring of armed IRS agents under Biden (09:32–09:49).
“The same people who are screaming for auditing federal spending were the same people under President Biden who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRA IRS agents with guns to audit the American people. I find that breathtakingly hypocritical.” (B, Kennedy, 09:32)

5. Elon Musk’s Expanded Role and Associated Controversies

Musk is helping lead the government’s “audit” and waste-cutting push. Rob defends Musk’s clearance and capability, mocking critics: "He has a top secret security clearance for... he makes the rockets for NASA. Oh, yeah. He is smart as a rocket science because he's a rocket science." (A, 11:00)
Rob refutes accusations of corrupt payoffs to Musk via contract awards: "Donald Trump didn't give that contract to Elon Musk. Joe Biden gave it to him.” (A, 15:42)

6. Performance and Press Coverage of Presidents: Trump vs Biden

Rob presents a montage of past media panic over “constitutional crises” and argues the press is again using “crisis” language against Trump, despite supporting Biden's lack of transparency or engagement (13:19, 43:24).
“Donald Trump's answered more questions in three weeks than Joe Biden answered in four years.” (A, 43:41)
Rob plays audio clips to highlight Biden's alleged cognitive decline and avoidance of press scrutiny (44:25–46:19).

7. Hostages, Middle East Policy, and “Uncle Sam vs Uncle Sucker”

The Trump administration is portrayed as taking a tougher line on Hamas, with Rob and guests supporting the threat of severe retaliation if hostages aren’t released by Saturday at noon (17:41–18:33).
Pete Hegseth, now DoD Secretary, is quoted: “President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker.” (B, 17:24)

8. In-Depth Interview: Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks (R-IA)

Miller-Meeks describes Congress under Trump as “Fast and Furious,” rapidly implementing executive orders to undo Biden policies, including reinstatement offers for military members discharged over COVID vaccine mandates (23:49–24:35).
She notes “a lot of excitement and enthusiasm” in her district post-election, but also “anxiety” due to rapid changes (25:57).
Discusses government waste and fraud, echoing Rob’s reaction to audits uncovering funding of controversial causes overseas (27:37–29:59).
On healthcare policy: Supports RFK Jr.’s focus on chronic disease and preventative care as new HHS Secretary, expresses hope for a more transparent, American-focused era at HHS (29:59–32:01).
Veterans' issues: Calls for improved access to VA care, noting disparities, the need for mental health services, and better use of technology (32:07–34:54).

9. Media Narratives: Culture War & "Latino Freeze"

Rob dismisses a national campaign to boycott businesses abandoning DEI programs, mocking the "Latino freeze" coverage as manufactured and irrelevant: “Most Latinos and Latinas don’t follow the doctrine of the Democrat Party...they don’t care.” (A, 57:44–58:36)
On leftist activism: “This isn’t going to do anything...Latinos and Latinas have their heads down doing hard work...” (A, 58:36)

10. Audience Call-Ins and Real-World Frustration with Bureaucracy

A retired Navy caller voices frustration with inefficiency and lack of accountability in government jobs, confirming Rob’s charges about unproductive federal work and lack of urgency in serving veterans (66:09–70:24).

11. Satire and Parody

The segment includes musical parodies by Jim Gossett, riffing on Mitch McConnell’s health, for comedic relief (37:51).

12. Personal Reflections from Rob Carson

Rob closes with a heartfelt, emotional discussion of his own family struggles, sharing news of being served divorce papers and requesting listener prayers (end segment).
“Another hurdle has been placed in front of me. But I’m going to hurdle over it and I’m going to do it with your support and with God’s grace. With God’s grace, 100%.” (A, ~87:00)

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. And by the grace of God, it is finally Friday. Welcome to it. We are on radio stations around the country. We of course also are streaming live on Newsmax, their Rumble channel, also on X and on Facebook. Share with others, will you? Because I think, in fact I know this is the only show like this around the country. You got a lot of pundits who have radio shows and have live streams and all of that. And you know Benny Johnson, who's. I know Benny Johnson and all that and he's very good, by the way. But there's only one show that kind of leans into, when we can. Comedy, satire, when we can. Sometimes things are very serious, obviously, and we take the serious stuff too. And I might also mention, I think generally we're, we're ahead of the curve on, on opinion, right? Because I was the guy who said that 2024 had to be the year we returned from nonsense to common sense. I said that January the sixth was a scam. I said that all the school closings were a scam. I said that if you believe that you, that you protecting yourself from a virus that can kill you, if you stand six feet from somebody, you'll stop it. Or if you wear a paper mask, then it'll save your life. And I said if you do that, then you've caught the stupid. That's why I. With the, the expression don't catch the stupid. You see. So anyway, if you would share with others, if you, if you enjoy the live stream, we're leaning heavy into the digital and, and we hope that you'll subscribe and you'll share with other people because it's pretty, it's pretty fun stuff. I think you're going to enjoy it no matter what you do, whether it's on the radio or or not. Mass layoffs have begun in multiple federal agencies and we've discovered and a little more surprising than I ever, ever would imagine. I figured that the federal government was rotten. I figured amount of hiring in the federal government was used to recruit more Democrat voters during Joe Biden's tenure. And it certainly did because all of the federal unions slavishly devote all of their political donations to Democrats and Democrats reciprocate by sending them lots and lots of money and hiring lots and lots of people like 87,000 IRS agents. 87,000 IRS agents. How many companies do you know that would hire 87,000 people at one time? It never happens, but the United States government did. They just came up with a figure. We need 87,000. Not exactly sure what they're going to do, but we need 87 of them. Spend the money. Spend the money. No regard for what sort of taxes we're bringing in, no regard of whether we're driving the country bankrupt or not. Just hire them. Hire them because we're going to send them out and we're going to find people. Maybe, maybe they did some purchases at, you know, Cabela's or, or, or, you know, maybe, maybe they bought some Trump stuff and let's go after them and look at, let's comb through their, their tax returns. Let's, let's go ahead and, and do audits of these people. I was listening to Clay, not Buck Sexton, Clay, the Clay the other night. And Clay, you know, they, they took over wrestling by slot at Premier Comedy or a Premier Premier Networks. Right. And he said that the, the next year and every year since he's been audited by the irs. So the IRS has been used to target people politically, there's no doubt about that. And, and the federal government has been hiring people wholesale without regard for the cost, without regard for productivity, without regard to investments, all of that, like you and I do. Were you able to hire anybody at your business the last four years? Did you have to cut stab at your business for four years? Federal government didn't have to. Didn't have to. They just. 87,000. Hire them, hire them. General Motors won't hire 87,000 people at one fell swoop. The biggest companies in the world will not hire 87,000 people at one fell swoop. Your federal government did. Even though we're $36 trillion in debt, hopelessly in debt, teetering on bankruptcy, $1 trillion for interest payments every year, which is bigger than the Defense Department. And now we got a genius coming in here and he is, he is basically saying, you know what? It's time that we, we did something about this. It's time that we looked at this, this nonsense, this, this fanatical spending. And he, and he found out things like this, like the federal government just sends blank checks. Have you ever given somebody you don't know just a blank check? Write it forever you want. And don't keep, do not keep track of it. Don't tell us what you spend it on.

Rob Carson (5:30)

List is not used. Yeah, it's absurd. It's an absurd and obscene spectacle. Just like the last four years of Joe Biden's presidency. Termination emails have been sent in the last 40 hours, 48 hours to scores of government workers, most recently hired employees still on probation. And here's the deal. If you're still on probation, you're gonna be let go and you'll be allowed to reapply when we start hiring. Well, we, we, we. I'm hiring. Right, okay, whatever. When the Trump administration decides to hire people Again, the DOE is going away because 70% of kids in this country don't read at grade level. And then RFK is going to be charged with the HHS. You know why? Because 70% of us are overweight or obese. It's kind of weird, right? It's like the 8020 rule. The 8020 rule I came up with that 80% of us believe the country's headed in the wrong direction. 80% of us can come together to save her. Homeboys, hillbillies, Hebrews. Coming together to save America. That's going to be the title of my book, by the way. I'm working on it. And now you got the 70 30. You've got government agencies who are screaming because they're being cut when the HHS and the CDC and the FDA have provided, presided over the descent of every metric of health in our. In our country so badly that, you know, we've got kids who are 9 years old with type 2 diabetes and you've got 10 year olds with colon cancer, and you got 70% of the population overweight or obese. Yeah, it is, it is remarkable. Let's see, the Small Business Administration, the sba. What did this Small Business Administration do to you? The government shut down your business for a Year and a half, two years. You couldn't go see a movie because of COVID Destroyed American Business. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That's a nonsense. Bureau. The Office of Personnel Management, the Government of Services Administration, all of them. And they, by the way, have managed federal buildings. They're gonna be blowing out federal buildings all over the place. They've sat empty for so long. Department of Energy set to lay off with 2,000 probationary employees. The agency finds that you're not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the current needs and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment with the agency. That's the termination letter that a lot of people getting. According to government data, about 280,000 civilian workers were hired less than two years ago. 280,000 people hired because Joe Biden needed to inflate his employment numbers. So it didn't seem like we were really in a recession. And we really were. That's it. That's all. And I've said this forever. When I lived in DC, the, the left would caterwall when there was a possibility of a government shutdown. And then I realized when I lived in Washington D.C. they shut down the government during Barack Obama's administration because they couldn't reach a deal on the budget. And you know what they did? They hired more people to patrol and shut down the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, even though it's just a sidewalk with a wall than they would have leaving it open. And that's when I realized it was a bunch of crap. A bunch of crap. The new head of the EPA has said he's going to rescind $20 billion in grants. Lee Zeldin. I said this yesterday. They were, there were these. They're gonna revoke contracts for the still emergencing Green bank that is set to fund tens of thousands of projects to fight climate change and promote environmental justice. Approved under the 2022 Inflation Reduction act, formally known as the Greenhouse gas reduction fund. Two initiatives worth 14 billion and 6 billion are intended to offer competitive grants to nonprofit NGOs. NGOs. NGOs. Why do we keep spending more money on climate change when it hasn't done anything? We spent trillions of dollars on climate change and it's deep. It keeps getting worse. Doesn't that mean it's failing? Or maybe you're just being played. Oh, yeah, you're being played. You're being played. Here's John Kennedy talking about all of the audits that are going on, particularly at the. The irs.

Rob Carson (9:49)

Yeah, that would as I service the irs. Gotten any better. Has the IRS tax code gotten more complicated? I mean, it's impossible, right? They make it impossible. And then they hired 87,000 people to go and look at your returns and sometimes targeting you politically and see if you made one little slip. One little slip and then they can bring the hammer down on you. And then you don't want it. You can't afford to hire a lawyer to defend yourself. You just settle whatever they want. Whatever they want. Just don't, don't destroy me, please. Whatever you do. There's that. There's that. This is Congressman defending Elon Musk. And everybody say Elon Musk is not qualified. Elon Musk does not have security clearance. Elon Musk can not look at your personal records. Guess what? He can. Elon Musk does have a security clearance. He has a top secret security clearance for. My God, he makes the rockets for NASA. Oh, yeah. He is smart as a rocket science because he's a. He's a rocket science. But the suggestion that he somehow can't be trusted to dig into how we're spending our money is nothing but a smoke screen. Yeah. To hide the corruption and the wasteful spending that has occurred there. Yeah. And I am personally offended at the left's continued references to 19 year olds and 21 year olds in there doing work. There are 19 year olds who have won the medal of Honor defending this country. That's true. Just because you're 19 doesn't mean you're some child who can't be trusted. Yeah. It is offensive. And if you're 19 years old out there, 20 years old, and you're serving this country, by God, your service matters. Keep serving. We thank you for that. Yeah. And you want smart, brilliant young people part of your organization. Trust me on this. I know this. I got a guy in his 20s working on my social media and he's blowing it up.

Rob Carson (18:33)

Make them a parking lot. There you go. That's tomorrow. And you know, I got, I got Shadow banned again. I got marked again for saying this on Twitter. I said evacuate the innocent in Gaza, then raze Gaza, raze Gaza. And that's what Donald Trump's gonna do. It's already pretty much been laid to waste. So evacuate the innocent, raise Gaza, fill in the tunnels with concrete and start over again and create paradise on, on the ocean. That's what he's gonna do. I still think he needs to build a Luxor, build a pyramid casino and hire Palestinians to build it. Kind of like what the Jews had to do with, with Egypt, but they were slaves. Just actually hire them, get some new good paying jobs. They're building a new casino in the shape of a pyramid. All right there. Representative Marionette Miller Meeks from Iowa is going to give us an update about what happened on Capitol Hill now that Donald Trump is in town. And that is coming up next.

Representative Marionette Miller Meeks, a Republican from the great state of Iowa joins us on the Newsmax hotline. How are you today?

Rob Carson (40:41)

Savings vary and subject to availability. Flight inclusive packages are at all protected. This is the Rob Carson show. It is a Rob Carson show and it's Friday. Wow. I just got a really bad or email on Valentine's Day. I'll just put it that way. On Valentine's Day. What a horrible thing. What a horrible thing. Anyway, welcome to the show. We've got another hour of the show to get through, ladies and gentlemen. The number is 800-922-6680. And we have, we have much to get through as the. As the show progresses. We do. I'm living by myself. And it is a damn shame, to be quite honest, when you try so hard to make people happy. But you know what? I know that Satan is trying to weaken me. And I won't. I won't be weakened. I won't be weakened. We are streaming live, of course, on Rumble at X. We are streaming live on Twitter at X. We are also tweeting. We are also broadcasting live on Facebook, all at Twitter or all at all at Newsmax. So X, Facebook and Rumble all at Newsmax. We are doing it live. And the country is changing finally. The country is changing for a positive, a very, very positive. And, and we are witnessing history every single day. Every single day. We are witnessing, witnessing history. And we are seeing a Berlin Wall movement, a Berlin Wall moment, ladies and gentlemen, but the media is still fighting against it and the media is still toeing the line for the left. That's the way it is, toeing the line to the left. This is Scott Jennings on, on cnn. Scott Jennings is the lone conservative on cnn. And. And he has to deal with a lot of nonsense. He's the only voice of reason. He's becoming quite famous because of it, actually, because he's the only person who does the opposite of what, of what the rest of the panel does. And you may recall that our last president, Joe Biden, I know it comes as a surprise, is Joe Biden is the president and Joe Biden had dementia throughout his entire presidency and he spent 40% of his presidency on vacation. He did nothing for the American people. And when he spoke, he was mealy mouthed because he had pudding for brains. But here is Brian Stelter who was fired by CNN and then rehired by CNN saying essentially that, you know, it is amazing. Donald Trump is doing two hour long pressers every single day, answering every single question. And here is Brian Stelter saying that Joe Biden did not avoid the press. And of course it's utterly ridiculous.

Rob Carson (51:59)

Here's another One of the 80, 20 issues, right? One of the 8020 issues. The Democrats take the 20. It's not going to work. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is the Rob Carson show on a Friday. Friday afternoon. I hope that your Friday is going a lot better than mine. I'll just tell you that. Valentine's Day, by the way. Valentine's Day, everybody. And so the Trump administration is preparing to designate series of Mexican drug cartels and two from Central and South America as foreign terrorist organizations. The move comes as Mexico continues to experience unprecedented levels of violence, including the widespread use of landmines and improvised explosive devices. Despite empty government claims that crime has decreased and impunity has ended. Some of the people involved in the Sinaloa Cartel, the cartel Jalisco, New Generation, the Gulf Cartel, the Cartel de Norresti Faction and Los Zetas. All of them, by the way, have, have invaded our country and, and have injured and hurt a lot of people. So there is, so there is that. There is that. Oh, by the way, you know, a lot of money has been sent out. Billions and billions of dollars to give ille sorts of free bows that you and I can only dream of. Because you know what? We struggle. The US Department of Health and Human Services recently increased grants for migrants in 2020-2024, spending $22 billion in taxpayer money on grants that included money going toward vehicles, home loans, and startup businesses. Anybody get turned down for a home loan or a startup business, by the way? Anybody? The agency's Office of Refugee settlement handed out 22.6 billion to a host of nonprofits, effectively acting as a giant magnet for migrants crossing the U.S. border and claiming asylum. NGO swindled $1.7 billion from U.S. taxpayers and services, including dollar for dollar matching savings plans for cars, homes, and college education or startups. Did you ever get that from the government? I never got that when I was on food stamps. Not one little bit. No, no, no, no, no. Small business loans up to $15,000 to repair. Credit history of up to $1500. Cultural orientation. You needed that, I guess. Emergency housing support, legal assistance, Medicare and whatnot. 300,000 were put into the care of some of these NGOs, and they were even put in with abusive sponsors. Did you know that? Nobody cared. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. Office of Resettlement was tasked with settling immigrants, asylum secrets, and others entering the US infamously, they lost track of 32,000 children. Isn't that amazing? The watchdog organization also pointed out the Church World Services and the International Rescue Committee were two of the top groups that received funds over the last four years. And of course, Catholic Charities, which, I mean, I wouldn't give a dime to. Catholic Charities, to be quite honest. Strikingly, since 2020, Church World Services bagged $355 million in grants, while International Rescue Committee netted 528. $598 million. Can you imagine me in a business? You could just get $598 million and all you're doing is providing a cot or paying for a hotel room and paying a big salary. A big salary. This is the Comptroller of the State of New York whining because the new director of the HHS is clawing back $85 million that was going to be used for programs for illegals in New York City, including lots and lots of hotel rooms.

Rob Carson (58:36)

Yeah, they do. And none of them care about dei. Latinos and Latinxes or whatever you want to call them. They're Latinos and Latinas. Latinos and Latinas. That's the way it is. Their entire language, by the way, is based on masculinity and femininity. I know this because it's a Latin language. I speak Francais. And for instance, did you know that a table is female? La table. Did you know that a table is female? Do you know how we know that? Just look between its legs. Hey, I'll be here always. But. But this isn't going to do anything. This doesn't mean anything because Latinos and Latinas have their heads down doing hard work that America needs done, and they don't care that John Deere has decided to say, we're not going to be down with DEI nonsense. We're going to hire people based on merit and not on skin color and what's between your legs. That's basically it. Yeah, they don't care. Honestly. MSNBC is doing everything it can, and the mainstream media is doing everything it can to try to throw a wrench into the Trump administration. Whether they say that inflation hasn't been stopped even though Donald Trump has been in office for three weeks, or. Or whether they say that there's going to be a massive backlash with Latinos and Latinas, led by people like John Leguizamo, who nobody cares about, to boycott businesses that are getting rid of dei. Nice try, but it's not gonna happen. Stay focused, stay patriotic, stay happy. We're winning and they can't stand it. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson for Prosper Wellness. Do your knees hurt? I know mine do. They feel like rusty old hinges. And I looked for a solution for years until I found this. They're called Joint Restore Gummies. And I have to tell you that not only do they taste great, they work. My knees are almost like new, and I'm moving and feeling better than I have in years.

You know, the interesting thing about the Democrat party is they haven't learned anything from the drubbing that happened on November 5th. And, and while you and I think that what happened is common sense. Right? That's what I said when, when Donald Trump was running for office. I said we have to return from nonsense to common sense. And, and it just makes common sense. All of these things make common sense. Look at how crazy things got. We, we decided that, you know, children could change genders. It's not possible. Little boys can't become little girls and little girls can't become little boys. You can dress like it, you can have surgery, you can hormone treatments, but it's not going to change anything. It's just gonna, it's just gonna make them into mutilated eunuchs for life. And, you know, these are the kind of, this is the kind of mania that has swept through societies in the past. And then they allowed the southern border to be wide open and a Trojan horse with millions of our enemies were allowed to come across the southern border and people were allowed to rape and murder their way through the country. And, and our school systems declined and our economy declined in every measure of, of quality of life descended from the economy to our health. You've got a country that is run by a doe, schools that are run by the Department of Education that has allowed 70% of our kids to not read at grade level. And they're complaining about it, about getting rid of the DOE and returning it to the States. You've got a country where 70% of our people are overweight or obese. Some of them have type 2 diabetes when they're in grade school because of the poisoning of the food supply. And, you know, 70%, that's the 70%. So we got the 80, 20, which is, you know, people who Believe that boys should compete with boys and girls should compete with girls. That's 80. 20, 20 says that you can be transgendered and compete. And then you got the 70%, the 70% who can't read and the 70% of us who are obese because of the DOE and because of the HHS, the CDC and the FDA. So there's a, there's a lot of math going on here and the Democrats don't understand it. We do. We saw why they lost. Didn't use, you know, why they lost. Go ahead, let's run through it. Open southern border, terrible economy. Price of gas went through the ceiling. CRT and DEI in schools declining the strength of our country and the view of the world. China a rising threat throughout. I mean, I can go on and on. I wrote on my substack a couple months ago, like 25 things that, that, that caught the Democrats that they don't understand why they lost. And it all boils down to common sense. And if you just look at things from, you know, 30,000ft, you see why they lost. But Jon Stewart, here's Jon Stewart and he's, he's very depressed because the, the, the Democrat Party not only doesn't recognize why they lost, they don't have a bench.

Rob Carson (71:54)

Oh, my God. That is, that's from Breitbart. Now, I remember my first year in broadcasting. I lived in Columbia, Missouri, and there's a school there called Stevens College. And Stevens College used to be a finishing school for young women where women went to get their Mrs. Degree. And that is to marry some young successful man who left the University of Missouri with a law degree or whatever. And it was an equestrian school as well. And then they became very, very left of center and have been that way ever since. And I remember this is like 1990. And, and there were people at, at Stevens University who were saying that they, they didn't want to use the word manhole because it had man in it. And they wanted to spell women W, O, M, Y, N because they didn't want men and women. And that was, that was the nonsense of 34 years ago. And they're still doing it. Not a winning formula. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. It is Rob Carson show on a Friday. And I do have a TV show. It's called Rob Carson's what In the World. It is Saturday nights and Sundays. And I think you'll enjoy it. It'll. It'll make you laugh. I'm going to share something. I do my level best to come in here with joy in my heart every single day. I did it through the. The last presidency, particularly the last election 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. What I went through with the father who left me and I of 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 term. 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 abuse. 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 wouldn't share it with you, but you are my family to some degree. I. For the last 10 years I've devoted myself to just work and taking care of three people in my home and doing my level best to again make up for the past. And the last year has been very difficult because it's very hard to do a show with people in the home who absolutely despise your policy politics. And that's all I'm going to say. It's a dreadful time. I am not going to contest anything or anything. And I really thought I could be the. The different one. I thought I could be the guy. And I made it 27 years. Made it 27 years. And. And I failed. And it's a dreadful predicament, and I hate it. I really do. I really do. I really do. You need your prayers. I'm asking for them. I've been through a lot, and I think that. I think that the devil tests me. I remember when I was selling cars and I was, you know, thinking that I would be my family, be better off with my life insurance. You know, we kind of go through that. And I did. I did. And I went through that by myself. By myself completely. And I was blamed for not having a job. And it. Sometimes when you're the breadwinner and. And you can't. You feel like a failure. So I climbed out of the depths of depression and started doing this. And I'm living my dream right now. I really am. And I consider myself very, very blessed. And here's another obstacle, another hurdle to climb over, and this one is going to be a really hard one to come over. This one will be, but I know I'll get there. I know I will. I remember when my wife's mother had cancer back in the 90s. And I rallied my audience. I said, I believe that prayer is as powerful as chemo and radiation. And I was right. She recovered. She was stage four. She had lymph nodes removed and everything. And this was back in the 90s, and she survived. And she got cancer two years ago again. And she was like my mother. She was closer to me in many ways than my mother because I saw her much more often. And we got her, my wife, through the loss. And I read her eulogy. She asked me to write it. I was the greatest honor of my life. And on her deathbed, I was in Baltimore in a speaking engagement, and I was asked to talk to her on the phone. And I knew at that moment that she was going to die before I got to see her. And I said, I want you to know that I am here to make your daughter happy for the rest of her life. And she passed, and we got through the funeral. So this is what I'm facing this weekend. I would appreciate your prayers, and if you're suffering as well, I'll pray for you. I wouldn't share it with you unless I needed your support. And I do. I'm going to be okay. But it's a dreadful thing to happen on. On such a day. On such a day. I hate to end the show like this. So I'm going to take a break and come back. I'm going to talk to my streaming audience real quick and, and realize that another hurdle has been placed in front of me. But I'm going to hurdle over it and I'm going to do it with your support and with God's grace. With God's grace, 100%. I'm sorry to share this on the radio with you, but I felt like I needed to. Let's take a break and come back, my friends. This is the Rob Carson Show. All right, kids, that's gonna do it for the show. Make sure to watch my TV show.
