Transcript
- 0:00The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
- 0:06You're listening to the West Carol Morning Show. Monday morning, twelfth day
- 0:12of June. Hi, Am Wes, thanks for joining me. Anything exciting
- 0:20happened in Columbus over the weekend, anything at all, anything I don't know,
- 0:27made the city a little more red, white and blue. People lining
- 0:32the streets, just standing outside just to get a glimpse of an airplane.
- 0:37Any of that kind of stuff happen over the weekend. Kind of a strange
- 0:43occurrence for Columbus, Georgia, where this show originates from. You hear me
- 0:50often talk about the Chattahoochee Valley. I know what, we have listeners outside
- 0:54of this area, outside of Georgia and Alabama. Many of you that once
- 0:59live tire listened to me on the radio listen to the podcast in other states.
- 1:06I appreciate that very much. I know you like to keep in touch
- 1:08with what's going on here in Columbus from time to time or continue to hear
- 1:15my thoughts on things. So I appreciate that. And I can tell you
- 1:19a little bit about what happened in Columbus here over the weekend. Now Columbus,
- 1:26Georgia hosting the Georgia Republican Party's convention, and this was, I guess
- 1:34the first time ever that a former president spoke at the convention. That added
- 1:41a certain extra element to it, But I think it was more important who
- 1:46that former president was. And the fact that that former president is currently running
- 1:52for president again just added to it. And we'll talk about that in a
- 1:57second. But I didn't talk on Friday about the indictment. Of course,
- 2:01the end of last week the announcement came from former President Trump that he was
- 2:07being indicted again and that this week, early this week, he would be
- 2:13returning to Florida. He was expected to return to Florida for this these federal
- 2:16charges coming against him concerning those classified documents that he had at Marlago. When
- 2:23they raided his house, they put on a spectacle and rated his home looking
- 2:30for classified documents. And then the thing that was the most interesting about all
- 2:34of that, well, I can't say most. The most interesting part of
- 2:37all of that, of course, was that this was a former president of
- 2:42the United States who was having his home rated, and very publicly that he
- 2:50was having his home rated, And in spite of the fact that they said,
- 2:53no one knew what was happening. There were media outlets who were there.
- 2:57It seems like immediately ready to go. Oh like one of those old
- 3:00tabloid tricks where like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lache I'm dating myself right, Will
- 3:07would call and say, Hey, we're gonna be at so and so restaurant,
- 3:10and then all the photographers would be there at the restaurant taking pictures,
- 3:15and you're kind of one of those deals. Oh, if these are tabloid
- 3:19people would just leave us alone. These paparazzi would just leave us alone.
- 3:23So they were there, they were CNN had people there. I think they
- 3:27were just ready to go, just to grab some or at least somebody who
- 3:30was willing to report back to CNN. So that was the first most interesting
- 3:37part of all of it. But what I think became more interesting in all
- 3:42of it other than you know, we're running this ridiculous game now of weaponizing
- 3:52our justice system against a political rival, and there's no other like if this
- 3:57were reversed, if this were if a twenty twenty had been a reelection or
- 4:06i'm sorry, a Trump's reelection campaign, where it would have been going against
- 4:10Hillary Clinton again, and Trump was actually, as the president of the United
- 4:15States, was actually sending people to the Clintons to gather those scrubbed computers and
- 4:21phones and any of those things, and they were actually prosecuting Hillary Clinton.
- 4:27There would be nothing short of cries of comparing this to all of the worst
- 4:32and most evil regimes in the history of our planet. That's what it would
- 4:36be. And Trump already got called all of those things anyway, just by
- 4:43existing, just by daring to have beaten her when they helped him get nominated
- 4:47so that he would be the easy person for her to defeat, and then
- 4:51he beat her, and then they said, oh my gosh, we gotta
- 4:56get him. We hate him so much. He actually thinks that he's the
- 5:00president and that he's in charge, and he doesn't understand there's all these other
- 5:03people that are really in charge, and he doesn't let them run things.
- 5:09He thinks he's in charge. We got to get rid of him. And
- 5:13then they they successfully ran an election against him and then got rid of him,
- 5:18and they said, we got to make sure this guy can't ever run
- 5:20again. We're gonna prosecute him and we're gonna get him. And they did
- 5:25everything they could to bury him and bury his chances of running again. And
- 5:31then then they we get these documents. Here's these documents that are classified that
- 5:38he has Marlago, and he says, well, I was the president.
- 5:41I could declassify them at any moment. I wanted to declassify them, and
- 5:45they said no, no, no, having the documents is a threat to
- 5:48national security. And then we oh, yeah, Joe Biden had some at
- 5:53his house and they weren't even very well protected. They were just in the
- 5:57garage with the door open, and people have walked in and gotten them or
- 6:00whatever. That was. To me, maybe the most interesting part of it
- 6:04is that this quickly turned into it and then Mike Pence had some and he
- 6:09turned them well I found these, here are these and everybody kind of went
- 6:14in. Nobody cares. Nobody really cares that you can. I mean,
- 6:17thanks for turning them in. You're not even on our radar. You're okay,
- 6:23I promise you, you're all right. Just say you're sorry, and
- 6:26then we're done. I mean, that was kind of the way that was
- 6:29treated. It's not fair, but that's the way it was treated. So
- 6:33that's to me, the most interesting part is that we had multiple people that
- 6:36had them for long periods of time, but they're focusing their energy to get
- 6:42these federal charges hanging on Trump, and I wanted to I was going to
- 6:46talk about it Friday, but I wanted to spend I wanted to give him
- 6:50a chance to speak here in Columbus because I knew that was going to be
- 6:54really his first public appearance after and he didn't disappoint. As he came in
- 7:00for the convention, landing at the Columbus Airport, folks just wanted to get
- 7:06a photo of the plane. They wanted to get close to where he was.
- 7:11Some did, Some got a chance to shake his hand and say hi.
- 7:15Some did get photos of the plane. With the plane at the airport,
- 7:20you could see it. It was a kind of a wild scene if
- 7:24you were driving anywhere near the airport. A few different views where you just
- 7:28had a really good view of the plane sitting there. And we just sort
- 7:33of passed it. We were we were out and about and we drove kind
- 7:39of near where the plane was and we saw it, and boys got excited.
- 7:42They were like, oh my gosh, there's there's Trump's plane right there.
- 7:46And it was it was a bit of a spectacle to see folks out
- 7:51and lined up along busy roads with flags, signs, dressed for the occasion,
- 8:01very patriotic, very excited. It looked like people were setting up for
- 8:05a fireworks show. That's what it looked like all along airport. Threw away
- 8:09at all the different variations of names. I know it changes names about three
- 8:13different times as you as you go down that road. But they were just
- 8:20lined up, and in certain parts of the airport there were people there,
- 8:24people near the fence lines, just trying to get a glimpse of the man,
- 8:31and many did. Many did. And then he proceeded to head to
- 8:37the Columbus Conventional Trade Center and spoke and had a great ovation. He came
- 8:50up right out of the gate, classic trump. This is a record crowd.
- 8:54This is a record crowd for an old building. He pointed, this
- 8:56building doesn't look new. It's a record crowd and it's an old building.
- 9:01So he was quite excited, excited to know there had never been so many
- 9:07people in that old building that had a long, rich history, and the
- 9:11fact that he set the new record, and that's always one of the things
- 9:15that's entertaining about him is that he really he really does take pride in some
- 9:20of those records that he sets. A lot of USA USA chants. They
- 9:24played Lee Greenwood, but you can't guess which song. They played Lee Greenwood
- 9:31to bring him out. Basically, he let the song play and then,
- 9:35uh, you know, a lot of USA USA chants. There were some
- 9:39booze when various people were mentioned or referencing the some of the charges against him
- 9:50and things like that. Nice boot crowd cheers from the crowd. I started
- 9:56talking specifically about his home being rated. That had some booze and all those
- 10:01sorts of things. But it was a big day for the Georgia Republican Party.
- 10:09The convention went well, of course, the local chapter the Muscogee County
- 10:16Republican Party hosting it, and just a good occasion for the folks that did
- 10:24set that record crowd, and it's a unique experience for a number of reasons.
- 10:31Because I'm gonna be honest with you, I got into this particular election
- 10:37cycle, you know, kind of thinking this is going to be entertaining to
- 10:43see how this all plays out. Because we know who Trump is, we
- 10:48know what he's about, we know of a way he plays. Okay,
- 10:52there's just certain there's certain people that you kind of get an understanding of the
- 11:01I think Mike Tyson. You know, people would say, oh, I
- 11:05know, I know how to beat Mike Tyson. I know, this is
- 11:09what you have to do. You have to withstand this, you have to
- 11:11avoid this, you have to you know, hit him certain ways, and
- 11:16then you got a chance against him. And you know, Tyson, you
- 11:20someone to probably mess up the quote, but he used to say, you
- 11:22know, every everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face.
- 11:26And that's um, that's kind of that's kind of what you have with Trump.
- 11:31You know who he is, you know the fight you and people kind
- 11:37of think, well, this is what it takes to beat him. It
- 11:41took really like the perfect alignment of stars. It took so many things to
- 11:48happen to set up a scenario where Biden could could beat Trump. It took
- 11:58all of those things to line up perfectly for that to happen. I don't
- 12:05know that without COVID that that happens. There's so many elements of that election
- 12:11that were impacted by COVID. By the way, and it may be tomorrow
- 12:16show, but we're going to talk about the fact that this report over the
- 12:22weekend that yes, in China in the Wuhan lab, they were they were
- 12:28intentionally making all of these biowomen COVID viruses. So we got that to talk
- 12:35about later in the week. Um. But so it took that perfect storm
- 12:43to create a scenario where Biden barely beat Trump. I mean it took key
- 12:48states, barely winning some key states, and it just barely happened. They're
- 12:54convinced that maybe that the only person Biden can beat as Trump, because they
- 13:01really want it to be Trump again. But they want to have their finger
- 13:05on the scale. They want to have all these indictments, they want to
- 13:07have the two impeachments to hold over him. They've got, They've got there.
- 13:13They're basically their whole ad campaign ready to go because they know if they
- 13:18can just get it back to him, get the two of them one on
- 13:22one in the ring. They think, we know what it takes to beat
- 13:26him, we know how to do it. I don't know if that means
- 13:30we should expect another pandemic, Like I don't know, like what they would
- 13:33have to do to create that exact perfect storm. Again, it's a lightning
- 13:39in the bottle thing, and I don't know that they can recreate all of
- 13:43it now maybe they think they can. I don't know. But that's who
- 13:48they wanted. That's who they wanted against Hillary. That's who they they obviously
- 13:54they who they were going to get as a president who is running for reelection.
- 13:58But that's who they want now, It's who they think they want.
- 14:01And I thought this is gonna be interesting because there are a few people that
- 14:05it certainly seems like, are gonna run and they make interesting potential candidates.
- 14:13Nicky Haley jumped in right away, and that's one right there, really curious
- 14:16to see what she's gonna do. Tim Scott, you go, oh,
- 14:20this is gonna this is interesting. These are you know, this is gonna
- 14:24give us something to even vivic Ramswami. You have someone who has interesting things
- 14:31to say, even as this very dark horse outside candidate, like somebody who
- 14:39you know, you understand why he's in the race, You just don't,
- 14:45you know. But then you think, well, we know that there's this
- 14:48chance we're gonna get this run to Santis candidacy. Everything seemed to be going
- 14:54in that direction, and it's like, well, we this is gonna be
- 14:56interesting. These two eyes they're very similar. He and Trump. We're going
- 15:01to see what they do when they get in their head to head. And
- 15:07we barely barely even get the two of them in there at the same time
- 15:13before the left starts doing what they can do to try to make sure that
- 15:16it's going to be Trump. And one of the things that they've done is
- 15:20these indictments, two indictments, well more than two, but to particular instances
- 15:28of indictments where you have a political opponent who is being charged by the justice
- 15:37system, overseen by the sitting president who's running for reelection, it's bonkers.
- 15:45It's nuts. It's absolutely nuts. You just you sit there and you think,
- 15:48how is it. And while Trump was in Columbus, he brought up,
- 15:56you know, it's one of those things that the left has certainly done
- 15:58all the time. They love to talk about Hitler, They love to talk
- 16:02about any example that they can throw up of someone horrible from the past,
- 16:08from history. And Trump said he equated this, these charges coming against him
- 16:19by a sitting president who's his political opponent, by saying, this is Stalinist
- 16:25Russia, communist China. I mean, he laid it out there and referred
- 16:30to the indictment as a joke. But here, this is the thing that
- 16:33I can't get over, And this is the thing that I had not specifically
- 16:38seen in person. Is what an absolute pop culture phenomenon that Trump is.
- 16:49And folks in Columbus finally got a real time. Now maybe you've seen it
- 16:53in other places, but Columbus got a real taste of it over the weekend.
- 16:59This desire to see the man's plane, this desire just to get a
- 17:03glimpse of the man, even if it's just from around the corner. Just
- 17:07oh, I think I saw his shoulder. I mean there were people that
- 17:11were doing this. I want to try to get closer to where he is.
- 17:15I was trying to think if there is anyone else a pro athlete.
- 17:22I mean, if Lebron James were in Columbus, there'd be people at the
- 17:26airport wanting to see him when he got off the plane. There wouldn't be
- 17:30people lined up along busy roads sitting in chairs with their cars pulled off on
- 17:36the side of the road with their phones out, just trying to get a
- 17:38glimpse of the plane that Lebron was on. That's not is there anyone I
- 17:45guess we're going to get a maybe when Messi comes to Major League soccer,
- 17:52maybe we'll get something of that. I don't know. I mean, Messi
- 17:56has got that kind of draw. But even he's not going to have people
- 17:59on the side of the road trying to see waiving Argentina flags as he flied.
- 18:03That's not going to happen. I just can't think of. You know,
- 18:08you have to maybe go back to Obama when he was running the first
- 18:14time. When he was new, people were excited and they thought, oh
- 18:18my gosh, we're gonna change history. This is gonna be this is gonna
- 18:21be different, this has never happened before. We're going to be a part
- 18:23of this. You know, people had that kind of excitement. But that
- 18:27was one of those yes, it was a popularity contest. It wasn't about
- 18:32most qualified candidate. It wasn't about who had done their time in Congress or
- 18:38as a governor. It wasn't about that. It was about let's strike while
- 18:42the iron's hot. Let's get in there while we have a candidate that has
- 18:48that zip, who has that sizzle, who has all those things that we
- 18:52know that we can make into a candidate. And Trump came along and it
- 19:00was the same sort of thing, except there wasn't anybody, there wasn't a
- 19:03machine behind him. He was the machine. He was the one who said,
- 19:08I'm gonna run, I'm gonna do it my way, this is what
- 19:11I'm gonna do. And people just loved that about him. And he just
- 19:15tore through all the Republicans, ripped through all of them like they were just
- 19:19nothing, and then went after Hillary and dared to win, and people loved
- 19:26him for it. And now the indictments come in and it just makes people
- 19:30like him more. They feel like he's getting shafted, and he is.
- 19:37He's absolutely getting shafted. We've never seen anything like this before with a political
- 19:42opponent. Never. Never. I mean, there were opportunities to prosecute Hillary
- 19:48Clinton. Trump talked about doing it, but they never did it. They
- 19:52never did it. It was always an unwritten rule. We got all these
- 19:55unwritten rules in sports. Baseball's got a bunch of them, Football's got some.
- 20:00All sports, I guess have them to some degree. There's just unwritten
- 20:03rules. I know soccer has them. You learn those very quickly when you're
- 20:07playing, and then you stick with them. That's what you do, even
- 20:11when it's tempting to not stick with them. You do it, you just
- 20:15do it. You play by those unwritten rules, and let's not what's happening
- 20:19right now. They're not playing by those unwritten rules. They're trying to create
- 20:26a situation where they can control who the candidate will be and all of the
- 20:32damning evidence they're going to be able to hold over his head when it's all
- 20:36said and done. That's what they want, that's the situation they're trying to
- 20:38create. Columbus got a taste of the Trump phenomenon. They got a chance
- 20:45to see it up close and personal, even when he went to visit waffle
- 20:49House, popped in on waffle House on Veterans Parkway and started treating people to
- 20:56waffles, signing things and just meeting people. Our current president doesn't do that.
- 21:06I guess he's done one appearance for his campaign. All he's doing is
- 21:10he's going out and promising kids that they won't have to pay for college.
- 21:14That's what he's doing. And you don't have to pay those I'm gonna fix
- 21:18that. I'll make sure you don't have to pay those loans back. That's
- 21:21what he's doing. That's his campaign strategy. Helped Trump get the nomination,
- 21:26helped Trump get in there and then have all this stuff to hold over his
- 21:30head. It's very herschel Walker esque, isn't it. It's very herschel Walker
- 21:34ask When the Left helped herschel Walker get nominated, a lot of money was
- 21:38spent to make sure herschel was the nominee. And the day that he won,
- 21:45they had all of the ads ready to go. The very next day
- 21:47they were running the ads Hershel Walker. Here's this. See what he did
- 21:51with his wife. Here's what he's happened with his son. Here's Hershel.
- 21:53They had the ads ready, They had the ads ready for months. They
- 21:59knew who they wanted candidate to be. And what they're doing now with Trump's
- 22:03the same thing they knew, They know who they wanted to be, and
- 22:07they're creating the narrative for the ads. Here's another indictment. Here's another.
- 22:12Here's what else he did. Here's what else. Remember, here's the here's
- 22:15the secret middle of the night raid Mara Lago. Here's here's the footage from
- 22:22that. We didn't tell anybody, but here's the footage. Columbus got a
- 22:29taste for it. It was exciting, it was it was exciting and we
- 22:32drove by just not intentionally, We just happened to drive past the airport when
- 22:37the plane was there, and the boys were both like, oh, wow,
- 22:41there's uh, there's Trump's plane. There it is, and we said,
- 22:45yes, look at all the people staring at it and taking photos of
- 22:48it and just trying to get a glimpse of it. It was a pretty
- 22:51big weekend for Columbus and a nice job from the Georgia GOP. Today's show

- 27:06course the manifesto. But that news coming over the weekend of his passing by
- 27:14suicide transformers Rise of the Beasts number one at the box office for the weekend,
- 27:21sixty point five million, dollars. I think it did pretty well on
- 27:26an international international numbers enough to make it. I mean, are those are
- 27:30expensive movies with all the CGI in them? In sixty point five doesn't sound
- 27:36like a lot, really, especially when you factor in Spider Man Across the
- 27:38Spider Verse was second place fifty five point four million in its second week out.
- 27:45Little Mermaid at twenty two point eight million, Guardians The Galaxy Volume three
- 27:48On the Move seven million dollars, and The Boogeyman six point nine million rounded
- 27:55out the top five. A lot of people already calling The Little Mermaid now
- 27:57a flop. I tried to kind of say that that seemed to be where
- 28:02it was headed a few weeks ago, and I know that people were trying
- 28:07not to say that, And of course as soon as it becomes kind of
- 28:11clear, that's when it becomes well, let's just be in review bomb.
- 28:15People are racist, people, don't I think people are just remaking a movie
- 28:22that's animated just to put people in it and then have CGI animals in it.
- 28:27I don't. I don't know that. Like The Lion King to me
- 28:30was pointless, Like what was the purpose of taking a cartoon of animals and
- 28:37then make a CGI movie with CGI basically cartoon animals and then calling it live
- 28:47action. What was the live action part of it? The CGI animals,
- 28:51you know, the talking lions. It seems it seemed a bit pointless,
- 28:56didn't it. And there's kind of that element of this isn't there? I
- 29:00don't, I don't know. I know that there was controversy about the recasting
- 29:03and and or the casting I guess is a better way to say it,
- 29:07the changes in casting. But I just, uh, yeah, it doesn't
- 29:14seem to be doing well. I saw an article that was written. It's
- 29:17blaming China, basically saying that China is largely at fault for why it's not
- 29:23doing very well. But I don't know how to I don't know if that's
- 29:30really what it is. I mean, you need China to go see movies
- 29:34for them to do well. That's the hard, cold reality in all of
- 29:38this, right, is that you do, you absolutely do need China to
- 29:45make them happen. Oh, another passing. I meant to mention this as
- 29:49a well a few minutes ago, but of course Pat Robertson passed away ninety
- 29:55three years old. He ran for president back in nineteen eighty eight. He
- 30:00at times certainly was controversial some of the statements that he made over the years,
- 30:07but certainly an influential man. Minister seven hundred Club, Christian Coalition,
- 30:17a number of other groups, and he was a big part of shaping for
- 30:22a while at least elements of the Republican Party. So another passing I meant
- 30:27to mention those I didn't really well them together. But another one who passed
- 30:33away over the weekend. So how about this companies that asking people to get
- 30:41back to the office to work. One company in particular that is really getting
- 30:49a lot of attention for this is Farmers Insurance. They had twenty one thousand
- 30:57employees that are being you need to get back into work at least three days
- 31:02a week. And they have a new CEO, Raoul Vargas is his name,
- 31:08and he's issued the mandates saying they need to be in there three days
- 31:11a week. Now, what's interesting about this is that many of the employees
- 31:19that weren't that used to work in the office, and then COVID came along.
- 31:25We're told that they would be working remotely, and some of them sold
- 31:29their houses, some of them moved away, relocated. You know, a
- 31:33number of different changes in their overall lifestyle, major life changes. And then
- 31:38employees that were hired during the remote work phase maybe the opportunity to work for
- 31:47Farmers Insurance and you know, live, you know, halfway across the country
- 31:52from the main office, and that's how they were hired. Now they're being
- 31:56told they have to be in the office three days a week. Vargas says
- 32:01that there's an importance to in office work for collaboration, creativity, and innovation,
- 32:07all of those things. Those are all things I think of when I
- 32:10think of insurance. No cut against insurance. I'm just pointing out collaboration,
- 32:16creativity, and innovation that he says they need to be doing, and by
- 32:21doing three days a week in the office, they're able to do that.
- 32:24So, look, I think some jobs you absolutely need to be in the
- 32:29office to do. I definitely agree with that. I also think there's some
- 32:34jobs that you need to be in the office to do and a certain amount
- 32:37of flexibility with what you're doing when you're in the office. I knew a
- 32:44group of people who once they worked for different companies, but all in one
- 32:47big office, and they had a pool table and ping pong table as part
- 32:53of the collective area that they were able to use all while working for a
- 32:59different company but basically doing the same job. And it was pretty much understood
- 33:06that because of what they were doing with their job, they needed to occasionally
- 33:08have that moment to, you know, just get their mind off of it
- 33:13for a minute. And then ultimately if they spend too much time doing is
- 33:16what are you doing? Where are you doing it? And it kind of
- 33:21feels like that's what's happening with remote work. There's an understanding that maybe you
- 33:24can do this job from somewhere else, but yeah, we don't like you
- 33:29doing it somewhere else. We want you to get back to work. That's
- 33:31what we want. We want to see you working. We want to walk
- 33:34by and tap her coffee mug and ask you to come in on Sunday and
- 33:38all that kind of stuff. So, you know, it's it's a thing.
- 33:44It's a thing, this this desire to get people back to work.
- 33:46Martha Stewart said that you would be the end of everything, the end of
- 33:50humanity or whatever she said. I don't know. All right, the head
- 33:54of Peter is volunteering to be the main course at a summer barbecue after she
- 34:04passes away ingrid new Kirk. In an interview that she did with Fox News
- 34:09Digital, she said she's updating her will to include a request that her flesh
- 34:15be cooked and her body parts be transformed into activist messages, and she says,
- 34:21after she passes away, you can barbecue my flesh. You'll smell it
- 34:25cooking with those onions, and you'll think, oh, I want some of
- 34:29that. But it will make you think you thought of carving up human flesh
- 34:34for steaks might just be the thing to jolt diners into kindness. What what
- 34:42are we talking? What are we talking about here? This is what So
- 34:49I hope she's just trying to make a point. I mean I hope that
- 34:51her plan isn't to actually, you know, get processed and you know,
- 34:57somebody to smoke her, you know, carcass once she's gone for meat,
- 35:04just to make people go, that smells good, and then that's gonna make
- 35:07them think I should stop eating cow because I was going to eat human flesh.
- 35:13That's her plan, I mean, that's what she just said. All
- 35:15Right, that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show. Thanks to
