His love for the state of Alabama aside, Carlson said, a primary reason that he came to speak was that he sincerely supports Rainbow Omega’s work, which he said is “helping people not in an abstract way, but in an actual way.”

Carlson recounted his experience earlier in the day when he toured a facility run by an organization in the region and met one of the participants of the nonprofit’s program.

“The thing that really—I won’t forget—that really lightened my heart was seeing so people who live there walking down the road … and there were a pair of twins. And this girl turned to me. Her face was so radiant. It made me emotional looking at her,” Carlson said. “I thought, you know, I don’t really understand a lot about God, but God’s on that person’s side—God thinks a lot more of her than he thinks of me.

“And I thought: ‘Wow, what a beautiful moment that was for me.’”
