Women Fought for the Right to Vote So Women Could Be Told Who to Vote For · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:06
day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Wednesday morning,
0:11
twenty ninth day of May. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me, ah
0:18
zipping on through this shortened week thanks to the holiday on Monday. I hope
0:24
you are hanging on because it's about to be June. I mean that's about
0:30
to happen where it's Wednesday, and then by the time we get back to
0:34
work next week, it'll be will be into June. Like that's what's gonna
0:38
happen. So June happens this weekend, So brace yourself because that's what we're
0:43
dealing with. Yesterday I talked about Hillary Clinton and her role in overturning Roe
0:55
v. Wade, Right, I think I think I made it pretty clear
0:59
the case for why Hillary Clinton deserves credit for helping to overturn Roe v.
1:03
Wade. She did a lot to help overturn Ruby Wade, and she deserves
1:11
the credit for it, just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg deserves credit for her role
1:17
in it. I've said she deserves the most credit for it. However,
1:23
I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg's flaw for her comes from the fact that she just
1:33
expected Hillary Clinton to do her job, and you know, had her opportunity
1:38
to leave and go out as a Supreme Court justice and have Barack Obama,
1:46
then President Obama, be the person to say, hey, I'm gonna pick
1:48
your replacement. She said, no, no, no, no, no,
1:51
You're not going to be the one to replace me. The first woman
1:53
president will be the one to replace me. So we'll wait for Hillary.
1:57
And they just kind of all assumed Hillary was going to be president. No
2:01
way Donald Trump could win, no way at all. So and then Hillary
2:07
Clinton. I told you yesterday what Hillary Clinton did not do was she did
2:10
not campaign in important states, battleground states that she didn't think were possibly battleground
2:15
states, the rust belt. She thought, no way, So I'm just
2:20
going to put the effort in where I feel like putting the effort in.
2:23
And she lost. She lost in a I don't know. I mean,
2:29
it feels a lot like a Joe Namath style calling his shot Trump as Namath
2:35
right, And it was an upset by some standards, but for folks that
2:39
were kind of paying at and I've got people that I know that were really
2:44
paying attention and thought this Trump thing's going to happen now. A few of
2:47
them thought it was going to be a massive blowout win for Trump. That
2:52
didn't end up happening. Although, as we're starting to look at polling now,
2:55
and who knows with polling, because polling was way off with Hillary.
3:00
Polling has been off a number of times, and it's hard to know who's
3:04
going to turn up. It's hard to know who's going to be there.
3:07
It's hard to know on election day, I should say, it's just hard
3:10
to know. Hard to know who's going to turn out. It's hard to
3:14
know if we're going to still have states that are going to be you know,
3:17
hey, drop off your mail in ballots to these drop boxes. Just
3:23
drop them in here and we'll count them up whenever we get around to it.
3:28
We don't want those situations. We want everything to at least feel above
3:30
board, more so than last time. We just wanted to all feel like
3:36
everybody is having their vote counted. And I'd like to know that people that
3:40
I know that don't live in Georgia anymore, they're not going to have a
3:45
ballots cast on their behalf in Georgia and they don't live here anymore. I'd
3:50
like to see that play out properly. You know, there shouldn't be any
3:53
of those situations. And I know people who had ballots cast on their behalf
3:58
in a state they don't live in it anymore for a candidate that they would
4:01
never vote for. So that's what we're hoping for. And by polling standards,
4:09
it looks like right now Trump is probably thanks to some of these indictments
4:15
in these cases, in this New York trial, it looks like he's getting
4:19
support from all sorts of people that probably wouldn't have even given him a second
4:26
look, but now they feel like, wait a minute, something's wrong here.
4:29
Why don't they want my grocery prices to go down? What is their
4:32
problem? Why are they trying to keep grocery prices up? Why do they
4:35
keep the price of fuel up? Why are they doing these things? So
4:41
that's two people that I think you can easily blame for Roe v. Wade
4:46
being overturned. I think it's very squarely placed at the feet of those two
4:53
women. I think they deserve credit for. So if you're a staunch supporter
4:57
of Roe v. Wade, you should hate those two. If you are
5:01
someone who support it's life, and you were opposed to Roe v. Wade.
5:06
You should you should hail Hillary Clinton and Ruth Berrygensburg as heroes, right,
5:13
you should. You should say thank you for everything that you did to
5:16
help get Roe v. Wade overturned. But all of this came up because
5:23
Hillary Clinton has been doing interviews. She did an interview with The Times,
5:30
and now the women of the View are stepping up to support Hillary Clinton.
5:34
Not for her role in getting Roe v. Wade overturn. No, they
5:41
say that white women just didn't do their part in making sure that Hillary Clinton
5:48
won Sunny Houston. Is it Hoston or Houstin? I never know. I
5:53
think it's hoston right on the View talking about white women and the twenty six
6:00
election pointed to the sexism that was so obvious because she was the most qualified
6:05
candidate that I think we've ever had. We're talking senator, we're talking secretary
6:10
of state, We're talking lawyer, valedictorian of her class. I mean,
6:14
just a brilliant woman. And what was disappointing to me, though, is
6:16
she said, you know, women didn't turn out for me. Well,
6:20
you know, ninety percent of black women turned out for her, sixty something
6:24
percent of Hispanic women turned out for her. There were fifty three percent of
6:28
white women that turn to Trump. I will never understand that statistic, actually,
6:32
and I hope that that does not happen again. I think it's very,
6:38
very important that people understand what an existential threat this man is to women
6:43
in particularly compy. All Right, so this is from hot topics on the
6:47
view, and I don't usually, you know, talk a lot about the
6:50
view. If I can help it, it certainly don't listen to very much.
6:56
There's a few things I want to focus on. First of all,
6:58
this notion that Hillary Clinton was the most qualified candidate that we've ever had for
7:02
president. Wow. So let's I mean, she started rattling off some things
7:11
in there now Secretary of State that certainly would would help qualify our senate.
7:15
Sure, you have to kind of have a little asterisk there for the Senate
7:21
position that she had because she carpet bagged into that that wasn't a situation where
7:27
she was going to go. You know what, I want to go back
7:30
to my home state of Arkansas, and I want to run in a campaign
7:34
there to try to become a senator. That's not in any way, you
7:41
know, settling into a place that's not staunchly liberal where it was really easy
7:46
to win right now, like AOC that's not somebody who could, you know,
7:51
win in many states. You know, there's some states that she could
7:55
comfortably win in her district. That whole idea of kind of creating this candidate,
8:01
you know, like a like a boy band kind of thing, where
8:05
they said, we're going to find this girl and we're gonna make her into
8:09
a candidate. That's what we want to do. So Hillary goes into a
8:15
district, or into a state in New York and says, it's be easy.
8:20
It'll be easy to win in New York. I got an easy there's
8:24
no issues there. It'll be But I mean, that's strategy, that's what
8:26
you do. But I don't know that I would say, wow, she
8:30
won a Senate race in a battleground state, or that she won a Senate
8:35
race in a conservative state. That's not what she did. She won a
8:39
Senate race in a very comfortably liberal, easy to win race. But she
8:45
did it, and she served. That's great. She deserves credit for the
8:48
fact that she did serve in the Senate. She deserves credit for the fact
8:52
that she was picked to be a Secretary of State. Now, if we're
8:58
going to start talking, we're going to start talking about Sure, as a
9:03
lawyer, there's some, but there's a lot of lawyers that have no business
9:07
serving as president. I don't know if it just a lawyer. You know,
9:13
that's kind of just trying to tack a few things on. You're really
9:16
tagging things on when you say she is valedictorian, that's a great accomplishment.
9:22
I'm not knocking it. God bless you if you had those kinds of scholastic
9:28
accomplishments. I don't. I mean, where how did you? Was she
9:31
the captain of her lacrosse team as a varsity athlete? I don't. Was
9:37
she you know, part of I don't know, a spelling bee championship when
9:43
she was in third grade? I mean, how far back are we going
9:46
for what we're calling the qualifications? What makes her the most qualified candidate we've
9:54
ever had? That's comical to me. No, Clinton was not the most
10:01
qualified candidate we've ever had. I think to some women on the left,
10:07
they would say, Hillary Clinton, here's this white woman that's running. Surely
10:11
she's going to win. Surely she's got it in the bag she's running against
10:16
Donald Trump. Just know that for some women, particularly if you want to
10:24
talk about and you say fifty four percent of women didn't vote for Hillary Clinton.
10:31
Just a couple of hard truths that we have to accept about this.
10:35
First of all, not all white women or Democrats. That's the first thing
10:43
I realize that in what we're learning in this current election cycle and in the
10:48
previous one, is that the more the left just assumes that certain groups are
10:58
going to vote their way every time, the more I think those groups start
11:03
to feel like they're neglected, they start to feel underappreciated, they start to
11:07
feel like no one really cares. They're just to vote to them, and
11:11
they are. They are just to vote to them. So and that's true
11:16
in so many By the way, just a quick tangent. I was trying
11:22
to help someone who was trying to get some health insurance, and they were
11:24
asking questions about the way Affordable Care Act works, and I said, you
11:28
know what, I've never actually been on the website to look at what's available.
11:33
And I went on and I was looking, and I was trying to
11:35
give them an idea of some of the options, and I noticed there were
11:39
a number of places on the website that said if you're not registered to vote,
11:45
you can register to vote here click this. It wasn't like an ad
11:48
box either, it was just random places built into the website. Thought that
11:54
was interesting. I mean, that's ridiculous, right, It's not just me,
11:58
is it that this idea that while you're on the Affordable Care Act website,
12:03
they're soliciting your vote anyway? So not all white women identify as Democrats
12:13
or liberals. That's the first thing. Understand that not all of them do.
12:18
They're not a giant voting block. And when you start throwing around stats
12:20
about ninety four percent of this ninety two percent of that, just understand you're
12:26
talking about stats from twenty sixteen that are not going to hold true for black
12:31
and Hispanic voters this go round. That's one thing that you need to understand.
12:37
Second of all, when you just assume that all women must be Democrats,
12:45
even if they're not, and Hillary Clinton called them deplorables for wanting to
12:50
vote for Trump, that's only going to solidify it more. And that's what
12:54
Hillary Clinton did, So that's part of it. So if you're just going
12:58
to assume that all all women have to vote Democrat, that they all have
13:03
to vote for your candidate. You're going to be disappointed again. It's going
13:07
to be a tough election night for you in November, if that's the assumption.
13:11
If you're assuming that all I mean and taking a look at the event
13:18
that happened in the Bronx for Trump after AOC admitted that they were just trying
13:24
to bog him down and keep him from being able to campaign. It was
13:28
embarrassing how he had to go and campaign in the Bronx because he was basically
13:31
tethered to that area. And you see how many people turned out to see
13:37
Trump speak, to hear Trump, to support him, people that didn't look
13:41
like the voters that the folks on the left say, Oh my gosh,
13:46
those people are supposed to be on our side, and they're wearing red hats
13:50
and they're supporting Trump and they're at this event. So that's an interesting twist
13:56
on all of it, isn't it. Now here's the shaming of white women
14:03
for actually having an opinion, for not voting like a giant block and saying
14:09
I'm going to vote the way I'm supposed to vote, the way that the
14:11
women on the view tell me I'm supposed to vote. Think about what an
14:15
insult that is as a woman, as a woman, if you're sitting there
14:20
and you're being told by women on the view, this can't happen again.
14:26
You have to vote the right way. This time. You messed up.
14:28
Then you didn't vote for the most qualified candidate maybe that we've ever had.
14:35
She she was once the captain who picked the teams in kickball in kindergarten.
14:41
I mean that's a qualification. She was voted least likely to eat her boogers
14:48
when she graduated from fifth grade. Least likely to eat her boogers. I
14:54
mean, if that doesn't make you the most qualified candidate ever, I don't
14:58
know what does. I'd be insulted. I'm insulted for them for somebody to
15:05
come along and tell you this is how you were supposed to vote. You
15:09
messed up, You drop the ball, You let us down. Guess what.
15:15
Most of the time, people enjoy the ability to look at the candidates
15:18
and make a decision about who they want to vote for. Some groups are
15:24
starting to really be upset that their vote is just expected. And I think
15:31
this is starting to become clear, and I think that's why you got women
15:33
that are trying to guilt the white women. They're trying to guilt the white
15:37
women and say, how dare you? You did it once before, you
15:41
blew it. Now you can't do it again. We can't. We need
15:46
you this time. You have to turn out because we have to make sure,
15:50
we have to make sure that you vote the right way so that Donald
15:54
Trump does not become president again. Because oh my gosh, it's all the
15:58
line, everything in danger. We're in so much trouble. What in reality,
16:04
if we really want to lay out the ultimate respect to women, and
16:10
if we want to really show up at speeches and State of the Union addresses
16:15
wearing white in order to support women's suffrage, you know, maybe we should
16:22
respect the fact that women should have a right to decide who they want to
16:23
vote for and not be forced to vote for who a lady named Sonny tells
16:29
them they're supposed to vote for. On the View, Today's show brought to
16:32
you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the
16:38
youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages,
16:45
I mean, they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit
16:48
the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university
16:52
programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
17:00
space and stem fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about
17:04
maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
17:12
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
17:18
they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under
17:22
the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
17:27
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
17:30
you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this
17:34
is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at
17:42
the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
17:48
Check out upcoming dates for the shows and also check out when the next
17:52
Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it
17:56
at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city
18:02
lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as
18:03
well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org.
18:11
As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
18:15
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
18:22
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door
18:26
needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
18:34
It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
18:38
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
18:44
square and that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
18:47
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
18:51
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
18:56
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
18:59
need a or new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
19:03
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've
19:07
got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
19:14
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
19:18
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
19:21
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
19:26
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
19:30
a little man cavid. You'd like to be able to open the door up
19:32
and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as
19:36
well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
19:40
thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
19:44
and you need somebody to come help, And they do those as well.
19:48
Seven oh six thry five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
19:52
forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after
19:57
the break well some disturbing news. A study found that some kids as young
20:12
as eleven and twelve. I think we could just say eleven, right.
20:17
I hate when they do the thing where they say kids as young as eleven
20:19
and twelve eleven is their baseline. Kids as young as eleven are using dating
20:26
apps, yes, the adult ones. For grown people, eleven year olds
20:33
using dating apps, it says the vast majority of preteens not using them.
20:38
However, according to research, point four percent admitted to having used a dating
20:45
app before. While that seems like a small amount, point four percent,
20:52
it works out to about one and two hundred and fifty underage kids. See,
20:56
that's when it kind of hits right. Point four percent doesn't sound like
21:00
a lot until you say it's one in two hundred and fifty. Boys almost
21:06
three times more likely than girls to have used a dating app at that age.
21:11
Kids who identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual thirteen times more likely
21:15
to use an online dating app than straight peers. Process all that a little
21:19
bit for a minute, if you even can, because I can't. I'm
21:25
trying to understand it. And I'm also trying to sit here and say,
21:27
well, as we're encouraging kids that maybe fit into certain groups to not tell
21:34
their parents, or they're going to their teachers at school who are helping to
21:40
hide information from their parents, I don't know. I don't know how that
21:45
all fits into all of this, but there you go. I mean,
21:48
I guess there's a little bit of the you know, maybe they don't want
21:52
their peers to know, so they're using the app in secret. I don't
21:56
know. I don't know, all right. So a survey that was done
22:02
by Talker Research asking things that have annoyed Americans in recent months, and here
22:11
is the most annoying thing according to them. And they've got politicians at number
22:18
two and at number one. And I would think some of these things in
22:25
this list relate to politics in general. Namely, the number one thing,
22:30
the thing that people find most annoying right now is the price of groceries,
22:36
followed by politicians, the way that other people drive crowds. The weather.
22:44
I don't know what anybody's supposed to do about the weather, right. We
22:48
hear all of this say it's a climate, not weather. But when people
22:52
complain about weather, they go, ah, here you go. People are
22:55
concerned about climate. No, it's not, that's a different word. Weather
22:57
means something else. Customer service, social media trends, tipping culture, there
23:04
you go, music you don't like, and TV volume being too loud.
23:11
That's the top ten. A few other things in the list that kind of
23:14
make to me like you got some things in here, like music you don't
23:18
like, volume too loud, ticket prices for concerts, self checkouts, computer
23:26
issues, parking movies being too dark, text language and abbreviations. It's starting
23:33
to just encroach into get off my lawn territory, isn't it? Doesn't that
23:38
feel just a little bit get off my lawn? And I'm not, you
23:41
know, I mean, I'm admittedly very gen X, and I think gen
23:48
X is really starting to really be a driving force behind that get off my
23:53
lawn generation. I know that there is one above us, there's a couple
23:57
above us still, but I think we're starting to really drive that a little
24:02
bit, as evidenced I think by some of these things. But many of
24:06
these things though, and I think this is part of that adaptable mindset that
24:11
we have as gen X. Like self checkout. At in time, just
24:17
being a guy who worked years in a grocery store, I wouldn't have done
24:21
it, just out of respect to people trying to hold onto those jobs.
24:25
Then COVID happened and I went, you know what, I don't really want
24:26
people touching my stuff. That's what it became a thing for. I don't
24:30
want anybody touching it. I just would like me to be the one that
24:33
touches it. I can put it in the bags the way that I want
24:36
to, because again, former trained professional at putting them in bags. So
24:41
there's that, and then there's the things that I'll never come around on,
24:45
like this crazy out of control tipping culture that we have now that honestly,
24:51
I mean, it's out of control, out of control, all right.
24:56
There's a woman in Supeka, Kansas who now has the Guinness World Record for
24:59
most tatt who's the same musician on her body as a female, as a
25:03
separate record for men and for women. Her name is Tara Barry. She's
25:08
got eighteen tattoos of Madonna on her She takes the title now from Nicky Patterson
25:15
of Britain, who has fifteen tattoos of eminem on her body. It's got
25:21
me wanting to take a look and I'm just kind of browsing it now because
25:23
I saw the story, but I never made a point to actually look at
25:26
Okay, well, these aren't bad. These they look like Madonna. I
25:30
know who it is. I've seen some tattoos where I've gone. I know
25:34
if that really looks like who you think it looks like, but not the
25:38
case with these. Well done by the tattoo artist. I'm not a tattoo
25:44
person myself. I don't have any unless you count my teeth. It's different
25:48
though, right if we haven't had this conversation before, if you haven't heard
25:52
me talk about my teeth, I've got teeth tattoos. But that's not the
25:57
same. They're not all of eminem or Madonna, you know, not at
26:06
all. That's not the way it works. They're they're all Peter Satra.
26:11
No, they're not not at all. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition
26:15
of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
