Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, fifth day of February. M West thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. Well we are well, we've seen we've got
- 0:20Speaker 2: a new Attorney General, Pam Bondi was officially confirmed, and
- 0:27Speaker 2: congratulations to her. I'll call her my friend where I
- 0:31Speaker 2: like pals. I've had a pleasure of chatting with her
- 0:35Speaker 2: before and interviewing her, and I think she's going to
- 0:38Speaker 2: be a great Attorney general. And I think the folks
- 0:42Speaker 2: that decided to politicize our Justice Department should be a
- 0:48Speaker 2: little nervous, be aware, just be a little bit concerned,
- 0:53Speaker 2: just be you know, I don't want to say looking
- 0:56Speaker 2: over their shoulder, but they should be aware of the
- 0:58Speaker 2: fact of you know, they know what they were part
- 1:00Speaker 2: of over the last couple of years. And you know,
- 1:05Speaker 2: there's just this, you know, we talk about Trump being
- 1:07Speaker 2: the new sheriff in town. This is the new sheriff
- 1:09Speaker 2: in town. This is Pam Bondy. So there's that. And
- 1:14Speaker 2: we were moving a little closer with some of these
- 1:16Speaker 2: other getting other some of these other seats filled as
- 1:21Speaker 2: we're getting just a little bit closer BONDI shouldn't have
- 1:24Speaker 2: really been close. It's closer than it should have. I
- 1:26Speaker 2: think she got fifty six, fifty four forty six, something
- 1:30Speaker 2: like that. Fifty six. I think that's what it was fit,
- 1:32Speaker 2: but shouldn't have been shouldn't have been close, Really shouldn't
- 1:36Speaker 2: have that's a yeah, fifty four forty six. It shouldn't
- 1:41Speaker 2: have been that close, really shouldn't have. But you know,
- 1:44Speaker 2: we're in this age of you have to basically oppose
- 1:49Speaker 2: anything Trump does because Trump bad. And that's that's where
- 1:53Speaker 2: we are. That's the that's the condition of where things are.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Just one of a couple of things one would dress
- 2:00Speaker 2: this morning, is this need. The Left says that they
- 2:05Speaker 2: are trying to repurpose and refocus. I didn't talk about
- 2:09Speaker 2: their convention or their gathering whatever they were selecting their
- 2:12Speaker 2: new leadership. That was a clown show. You don't need
- 2:16Speaker 2: me to tell you it was a clown show. There's
- 2:18Speaker 2: been a lot of coverage of the clown show. It's
- 2:22Speaker 2: just been played out. I don't have to tell you
- 2:27Speaker 2: what a joke it was. The singing and the dancing
- 2:29Speaker 2: and all that. What's interesting about where we are right
- 2:34Speaker 2: now as a country is this incredible flip that has happened,
- 2:41Speaker 2: and you can only really attribute it to Trump and
- 2:47Speaker 2: some really bad decisions that have been made on the left.
- 2:52Speaker 2: And I think there's been a certain amount of overconfidence
- 2:55Speaker 2: that the same old thing was going to work time
- 2:57Speaker 2: and time again. And I'm not just talking about this.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You know, we're going to run a candidate and we're
- 3:04Speaker 2: not We're going to kind of hide them from the public,
- 3:06Speaker 2: not really have them answer tough questions, and we're just
- 3:09Speaker 2: going to trust that this is going to work, because
- 3:12Speaker 2: I mean that did get tried again and it didn't work.
- 3:15Speaker 2: But that's not really so much what I'm talking about.
- 3:19Speaker 2: It's just some of the same old like theatrics, some
- 3:22Speaker 2: of the you know, it's the same old people. It's
- 3:25Speaker 2: the same kind of routine that's taking place. And you know,
- 3:30Speaker 2: I did a couple of shows where we talked about
- 3:32Speaker 2: the way younger people find a way to rebel. Younger
- 3:36Speaker 2: people I think embrace Trump more than everybody thought that
- 3:39Speaker 2: they would, or at least more of them did. I
- 3:42Speaker 2: don't know about collectively. I don't know what the exact
- 3:44Speaker 2: numbers were, but I do know that there's a growing
- 3:47Speaker 2: number of people that see the left as establishment and
- 3:51Speaker 2: the right as the anti establishment. How many that is,
- 3:56Speaker 2: I don't know, but polling shows that there's a feeling
- 4:02Speaker 2: of that, and there's people that are just kind of
- 4:04Speaker 2: hanging on to this we're right and we're going to
- 4:07Speaker 2: go down with the ship by being right. It used
- 4:11Speaker 2: to kind of be something that was associated with the right.
- 4:15Speaker 2: There was a time when it felt like the ultra
- 4:20Speaker 2: conservative religious right was kind of in that place. There
- 4:26Speaker 2: was like when I was in high school. That's where
- 4:28Speaker 2: things kind of were, and people would mock them and say,
- 4:32Speaker 2: you know, you're just doing all this because you think
- 4:34Speaker 2: that you're right. And there's a difference I think in
- 4:41Speaker 2: being right and looking out for what's right for the country.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And that's kind of one of those things that we've
- 4:48Speaker 2: addressed a few times here over the years, is you know,
- 4:52Speaker 2: I talk about I've got my religious beliefs. I've got
- 4:54Speaker 2: the things that I believe to be true, the things
- 4:57Speaker 2: that I hold in my heart that I believe to
- 5:00Speaker 2: be true, and that certainly influences how I vote and
- 5:05Speaker 2: influences my thinking, and influences my logic and influences the
- 5:10Speaker 2: way that I look at the world. But I don't
- 5:13Speaker 2: necessarily think that because I believe it to be the
- 5:17Speaker 2: case religiously, that that should be the law of the land.
- 5:24Speaker 2: There's things that I would never do in my life
- 5:29Speaker 2: that I don't necessarily think should be illegal. There's things
- 5:37Speaker 2: that I think are morally wrong that I don't necessarily
- 5:41Speaker 2: think should be illegal. There's a difference between what I
- 5:45Speaker 2: believe to be true and what other people might believe
- 5:50Speaker 2: to be true. And I understand that in a country
- 5:52Speaker 2: that is set up the way this idea of this
- 5:55Speaker 2: nation is is that everyone shouldn't be subjected to things
- 5:58Speaker 2: because I believe it to be right and believe it
- 6:01Speaker 2: to be true. And I think we went through a
- 6:04Speaker 2: phase of that in the nineties, and I know it
- 6:09Speaker 2: dated back before that, but I can speak to my
- 6:11Speaker 2: experience where I witnessed it and I watched that change
- 6:14Speaker 2: that sort of took place as people were starting to say, look,
- 6:16Speaker 2: just because you think you're right doesn't mean that's what's
- 6:20Speaker 2: best for the country. And I think that's what's happening.
- 6:22Speaker 2: One of the things that's happening to the left right now,
- 6:26Speaker 2: we're starting to see that little bit of you're on
- 6:28Speaker 2: your moral high ground, and you're thinking, this is everything
- 6:31Speaker 2: that should be taking place, and we're going to die
- 6:34Speaker 2: on this hill for the sake of less than one
- 6:37Speaker 2: percent of the population so that they can, you know,
- 6:40Speaker 2: play women's sports as a former man, and ignoring the
- 6:46Speaker 2: other ninety nine point five percent of people that maybe
- 6:50Speaker 2: are impacted by that decision. Even if you know, forty
- 6:56Speaker 2: percent or whatever, the thirty seven percent of the country
- 6:59Speaker 2: thinks that's okay, or you know, whatever it is. The
- 7:03Speaker 2: point is, just because you think it's right doesn't mean
- 7:05Speaker 2: it's what's in the best interest for governing a country.
- 7:09Speaker 2: And it's weird to me that we've had that sort
- 7:11Speaker 2: of flip. We also have these characters. We've got these
- 7:15Speaker 2: very senior people that are still being put out in
- 7:18Speaker 2: the front. Republicans are putting sort of and I understand,
- 7:22Speaker 2: Trump is himself not a young guy, and as the
- 7:28Speaker 2: head of the party and somebody who's been the head
- 7:30Speaker 2: of the party for a while now, he's not a
- 7:32Speaker 2: young guy. But I'm talking about he surrounded himself with
- 7:36Speaker 2: younger people. We're starting to see some of these younger
- 7:40Speaker 2: rock stars emerging, if you will, I mean, they're not
- 7:43Speaker 2: all going to be rock stars, but we're seeing people
- 7:46Speaker 2: that are really making a splash and having an opportunity
- 7:48Speaker 2: to be heard. Whether it is a Pambondi, whether it
- 7:53Speaker 2: is a JD. Vance, I don't know that I've celebrated
- 7:56Speaker 2: appropriately on this show. The fact that we have a
- 7:59Speaker 2: vice president with a beard just exciting to me. It's
- 8:02Speaker 2: been a long time since we've had president or a
- 8:05Speaker 2: VP with a beard. I'm pretty excited about that anyway.
- 8:09Speaker 2: And no, it's not because they have to be a
- 8:11Speaker 2: man and have a beard. That's not don't play that
- 8:14Speaker 2: game with me. But my point is the right is
- 8:18Speaker 2: the one that seems to be, you know, really pulling
- 8:21Speaker 2: from youth with potential, and the left seems to still be,
- 8:27Speaker 2: you know, parading up the the uh Schumer standing up
- 8:34Speaker 2: there with his avocado and his corona. And I saw
- 8:39Speaker 2: where even John Stewart was making fun of that on
- 8:43Speaker 2: the Daily Show. By the way, is how sad is it?
- 8:46Speaker 2: You have John Stewart on the Daily Show and then
- 8:48Speaker 2: they bring in the other guy, and then the other
- 8:50Speaker 2: guy just bombs out and they have to bring back
- 8:52Speaker 2: John Stewart. I don't even know what the full reasoning
- 8:55Speaker 2: behind it was what was said, but That's that's the reason, right.
- 8:59Speaker 2: The guy just couldn't couldn't cut it, and nobody was watching.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody's still watching the Daily Show anyway.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I mean there's got to be somebody watching it. But
- 9:07Speaker 2: but holding up a lime and a corona and an
- 9:10Speaker 2: avocado and talking about the tariffs and all that, and
- 9:15Speaker 2: Jon Stewart said, Democrats, can you please stop expletive trotting
- 9:22Speaker 2: Schumer out there? Every time Trump traverses into the unreal
- 9:28Speaker 2: He's not good at this And this again is also
- 9:34Speaker 2: it has this feel of sort of this old like
- 9:38Speaker 2: you're parading out someone who's not good at getting out
- 9:41Speaker 2: the message and they've continued to do this, and it's
- 9:45Speaker 2: it feels Democrats feel very just feel very dated. I
- 9:51Speaker 2: don't want to say old, because I don't want to
- 9:53Speaker 2: be a you know, agist. That's not you can be.
- 9:57Speaker 2: You can be old and still relevant. And I'm not
- 10:00Speaker 2: in any way saying that they're not. But the people
- 10:02Speaker 2: that Democrats continue to parade out are not relevant anymore.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Stuart went on to say, what is the decision making
- 10:09Speaker 2: process here? Hey, who should we get to go out
- 10:12Speaker 2: there to effectively battle one of the most savvy presidential
- 10:15Speaker 2: media manipulators in history. Oh, I don't know how about Schumer.
- 10:19Speaker 2: He's uninteresting, but at least he's monotone. Oh wait and Chuck,
- 10:23Speaker 2: before you go out there, you look too young. Put
- 10:26Speaker 2: on these readers and lower them on your nose. Perfect
- 10:32Speaker 2: Uh well said, I mean, that's the That's the thing,
- 10:38Speaker 2: isn't it. That's the overall kind of let's just show
- 10:43Speaker 2: how outdated we are. And here's the other part of this,
- 10:47Speaker 2: and this is the most important part of this, is
- 10:51Speaker 2: that Republicans and I know that this has been said
- 10:54Speaker 2: a lot and it's been reinforced recently, is why I'm
- 10:57Speaker 2: bringing it up. But Republicans have taken that mantle of
- 11:03Speaker 2: you know, the working man, the middle class working man,
- 11:07Speaker 2: or the you know, the working class woman, or you know,
- 11:12Speaker 2: the middle class family. They've taken that away, you know,
- 11:18Speaker 2: from a marketing standpoint. They have taken that away from
- 11:22Speaker 2: the left. And the left now is trying to figure
- 11:26Speaker 2: out how what do we do to win that back.
- 11:29Speaker 2: That's what that convention was about. And I guess they
- 11:33Speaker 2: figured that they were going to be able to get
- 11:34Speaker 2: you know, people doing the cha chaw slide or whatever
- 11:37Speaker 2: it was that was going to be like, you know,
- 11:40Speaker 2: Trump's y M C A dance, and it's not.
- 11:44Speaker 1: It's just not.
- 11:45Speaker 2: There was no one at the at the Democrat event
- 11:51Speaker 2: that is has any charisma at all to step up
- 11:56Speaker 2: and say we're gonna be We're gonna lead this party
- 11:58Speaker 2: and we're going to do something, and people are going
- 11:59Speaker 2: to to be you know, NFL players are going to
- 12:02Speaker 2: be doing this at the super Bowl, and that's not
- 12:06Speaker 2: what's going to happen. And the fact that you have
- 12:10Speaker 2: Democrats circling the wagons and saying, we have to figure
- 12:13Speaker 2: out how are we going to get middle class America
- 12:20Speaker 2: to more identify with us, how they're going to perceive
- 12:25Speaker 2: us as being the party that's going to actually do
- 12:29Speaker 2: something for them. They lost it, and they lost it
- 12:33Speaker 2: in a really, really big way. And there's a little
- 12:37Speaker 2: bit to me and I give kudos to Republicans for
- 12:41Speaker 2: realizing that if they just stayed on mission and they
- 12:46Speaker 2: stayed on target, they could win that vote, and they
- 12:50Speaker 2: could win over that crowd enough to not only win
- 12:54Speaker 2: the electoral College but also the popular vote for Trump
- 12:58Speaker 2: and have control roll of both houses. I feel like
- 13:03Speaker 2: to some degree there was a little bit of restoring
- 13:09Speaker 2: some faith in humanity, I think, and I almost feel
- 13:13Speaker 2: badly that I had given up on that, and I
- 13:15Speaker 2: felt like, well, of course, the Left is going to
- 13:18Speaker 2: keep winning on ridiculous issues. They're going to keep winning
- 13:21Speaker 2: off of you know, trans athletes dominating women swimming. They're
- 13:26Speaker 2: going to win on you know, trans women playing volleyball
- 13:31Speaker 2: and dominating the sport. They're going to win on these
- 13:35Speaker 2: DEI issues and initiatives. They're going to win on you know,
- 13:39Speaker 2: the riots in the streets being okay. They're going to
- 13:41Speaker 2: win on corruption and you know, sicking the Justice Department
- 13:47Speaker 2: on a political opponent. I feel badly that I had
- 13:53Speaker 2: basically gotten to the point where it just feels like
- 13:56Speaker 2: that's what's going to happen, and that's what it felt
- 13:59Speaker 2: like it was heading towards until you know, Trump had
- 14:02Speaker 2: a mug shot. I remember watching Trump going in to
- 14:07Speaker 2: turn himself in in Atlanta and watching him drive, partly
- 14:10Speaker 2: because I thought, wow, it's kind of fun seeing the
- 14:14Speaker 2: helicopter footage of Atlanta and knowing the streets and know
- 14:16Speaker 2: in the areas that he's in, and also because it
- 14:20Speaker 2: was a moment of history and it felt like this
- 14:22Speaker 2: is about to be maybe where this election starts to turn.
- 14:26Speaker 2: And it was, and that was part of what allowed
- 14:30Speaker 2: people to I think relate a little bit more to
- 14:36Speaker 2: the right. It allowed people to relate to Trump more.
- 14:40Speaker 2: It's hard to be the establishment, and it's hard to
- 14:46Speaker 2: manipulate the Justice Department to go after political opponents and
- 14:53Speaker 2: people not start to feel like, wait a minute, you're
- 14:59Speaker 2: how can we against the machine with you when you're
- 15:01Speaker 2: the machine? And I think that's what came through. And
- 15:06Speaker 2: now you have a party in Democrats that are sitting
- 15:12Speaker 2: back and going, how did we lose the middle class?
- 15:17Speaker 2: And I can tell you how you lost the middle
- 15:19Speaker 2: class because you weren't doing anything for the middle class.
- 15:23Speaker 2: You claim that that's who you're trying to support, but
- 15:27Speaker 2: in reality you were kind of stomping them, trying to
- 15:32Speaker 2: push them down. You didn't want them in the middle class.
- 15:35Speaker 2: This is a case that I've made for years. If
- 15:38Speaker 2: if you, if you hinge your successes and your support
- 15:44Speaker 2: on trying to provide for people and trying to basically
- 15:50Speaker 2: say we got you, we'll take care of you. Come
- 15:53Speaker 2: across the border and we'll pay your bills. Come across
- 15:57Speaker 2: the border, we'll take care We'll put you in hotels,
- 16:00Speaker 2: we'll pay for college. We'll keep you here long enough
- 16:04Speaker 2: that you know, have a baby, and then you're in
- 16:07Speaker 2: you're good. We'll keep you here long enough until eventually
- 16:11Speaker 2: somebody's just gonna say, just let them stay. We'll just
- 16:15Speaker 2: let them stay this time, we'll close the border. We'll
- 16:17Speaker 2: let them stay. It'd be awful to send them home.
- 16:21Speaker 2: It'll be all well. If they try to send them home,
- 16:23Speaker 2: we'll cry about the babies and the families getting separated,
- 16:26Speaker 2: and that's what we'll do. So just kind of hang out.
- 16:31Speaker 2: We'll take care of everything, and you know, eventually you
- 16:36Speaker 2: have our back. You know, at some point when you're
- 16:39Speaker 2: going into cast a ballot, you just remember us sometime
- 16:42Speaker 2: in the future when we can work that out. If
- 16:45Speaker 2: you're hinging your strategy on that, you are neglecting the
- 16:49Speaker 2: middle class and the working man, you're neglecting Hispanic America,
- 16:55Speaker 2: Black America, You're you're at least making them feel that way.
- 17:01Speaker 2: That was what some of the studies showed. Black Americans
- 17:04Speaker 2: started to feel like, wait a minute, we voted for you,
- 17:07Speaker 2: and you're supposed to be looking out for us, and
- 17:09Speaker 2: you're not. You're looking out for them. That's how you
- 17:13Speaker 2: lose the middle class, and you lose the middle class
- 17:16Speaker 2: by I don't know, not caring about ridiculous inflation and
- 17:21Speaker 2: stomping people while they were already down post COVID. So
- 17:25Speaker 2: now you've got a party that's trying to figure it
- 17:27Speaker 2: out and trying to put it together. And Republicans right now,
- 17:31Speaker 2: they got the heat. They're getting things done. Trump is
- 17:36Speaker 2: getting things done, and he's getting closer to having the
- 17:43Speaker 2: cabinet that he wants and the people in place, and
- 17:46Speaker 2: Democrats are dancing at a party after losing and still
- 17:51Speaker 2: trying to figure out how they can connect to middle
- 17:54Speaker 2: class Americans. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State

- 20:39Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 20:41Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 20:44Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 20:46Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 20:51Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 20:53Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
- 20:55Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 20:57Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 21:00Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 21:03Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 21:05Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 21:09Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 21:12Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty

- 21:22Speaker 2: Right after the break well, there's more and more talk
- 21:34Speaker 2: about the possibility of Travis Kelcey proposing to Taylor Swift
- 21:38Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl. I'm just gonna tell you right now,
- 21:42Speaker 2: i can't handle it. I just can't. I can't handle it.
- 21:46Speaker 2: I can't, I can't. I can't handle it. I'm like
- 21:50Speaker 2: I have vowed I wasn't gonna watch any of the
- 21:52Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I've been invited to a Super Bowl party
- 21:55Speaker 2: that i'd actually like to attend. I may have to
- 21:57Speaker 2: watch some of it, but I'm telling you right now,
- 22:00Speaker 2: this is not something I can't. You know, the Chiefs
- 22:05Speaker 2: have been fighting this whole idea, the NFL has been
- 22:08Speaker 2: fighting this whole idea that it's all been rigged. Look
- 22:12Speaker 2: if this kind of quote unquote storybook thing happens at
- 22:16Speaker 2: the game, I'm just you know, if I'm Josh Allen
- 22:20Speaker 2: and the Bills, I'm ready to file a class action lawsuit.
- 22:24Speaker 2: All the Bills fans should get involved because this is
- 22:27Speaker 2: just ridiculous. I'm not going to be able to handle
- 22:29Speaker 2: if that's what happens. Onto another subject, would you tell
- 22:33Speaker 2: a close friend that they have bad breath? A new
- 22:37Speaker 2: survey says about fifty five percent of people say that
- 22:40Speaker 2: they would definitely or probably tell a friend that they
- 22:45Speaker 2: had bad breath. Would you tell a close friend that
- 22:49Speaker 2: you were in a toxic relationship or that they were
- 22:52Speaker 2: in a toxic relationship. That number closer to seventy five percent.
- 22:57Speaker 2: On the other end of the spectrum, just thirty percent
- 22:59Speaker 2: of those said that they would tell a close friend
- 23:02Speaker 2: that they're overweight. Nearly across the board, Millennials more likely
- 23:06Speaker 2: than other generations to share a harsh truth, even more
- 23:10Speaker 2: likely than gen z and Among twenty four touchy subjects,
- 23:14Speaker 2: guys more likely than women to bring up twenty of them,
- 23:18Speaker 2: particularly if a friend drinks too much, interrupts people too much,
- 23:23Speaker 2: or has bad body odor. That's interesting. It's not easy
- 23:27Speaker 2: to tell somebody some of these things. I know people
- 23:31Speaker 2: in toxic relationships, and I just treat it's not my business, right,
- 23:37Speaker 2: I know people that I think have body odor. It's
- 23:41Speaker 2: not my business. I mean, what are you going to say?
- 23:43Speaker 2: It's going to be awkward. It's going to make me
- 23:46Speaker 2: feel awkward, it's going to make them feel awkward. So yeah,
- 23:49Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that. Some of these things,
- 23:51Speaker 2: I guess I would. I mean, I might find a way.
- 23:56Speaker 2: If I was with somebody who was really just slamming
- 23:58Speaker 2: them down all the time, I might say, really packing
- 24:02Speaker 2: those away? Are you? But I don't even then, I
- 24:04Speaker 2: don't know. I'm a big I'm a big advocate of
- 24:08Speaker 2: you know, I think it's about to be a problem,
- 24:11Speaker 2: then you can bring it up. But I don't know
- 24:13Speaker 2: where somebody's body odor. I don't know where somebody's I mean,
- 24:17Speaker 2: if they were about to go on a date, I
- 24:18Speaker 2: would say, hey, you might want to tic tac, you know,
- 24:22Speaker 2: you might want to just get a piece of gum
- 24:25Speaker 2: or something. When someone offers you a glass of water
- 24:28Speaker 2: at their house, do you say yes or politely decline?
- 24:32Speaker 2: If you're like most women, you probably say I'm fine,
- 24:35Speaker 2: thank you. But apparently you should take the water, according
- 24:40Speaker 2: to social media. I guess women often refuse because they
- 24:44Speaker 2: don't want to put anyone out, and accepting the drink
- 24:49Speaker 2: is a small way to start embracing the idea that
- 24:51Speaker 2: you deserve better things. It's not just about hydration, it's
- 24:55Speaker 2: about shifting your mindset to be more open to receiving
- 24:59Speaker 2: kindness and opportun tunities. That's an interesting concept, and this
- 25:02Speaker 2: says it's targeted at women, but I would think it
- 25:05Speaker 2: would be true of anyone. If you're you know, you
- 25:08Speaker 2: don't want to put somebody out, but you know, just
- 25:11Speaker 2: a glass of water, Are you really putting them out
- 25:13Speaker 2: that much? How about this? More and more teens are
- 25:17Speaker 2: drinking caffeinated beverages on a daily basis. Health experts are concerned.
- 25:22Speaker 2: New guidelines released by a panel of pediatric health experts
- 25:25Speaker 2: suggest that kids between the ages of five and eighteen
- 25:28Speaker 2: should not drink any caffeinated beverages at all because their
- 25:32Speaker 2: brains are in a period of rapid development. Caffeine can
- 25:36Speaker 2: stunt that development. It can contribute to poor sleep habits, anxiety, dependency, headaches. Instead,
- 25:43Speaker 2: parents are advised to have their kids drink only water
- 25:47Speaker 2: and milk, fruit juice okay, in moderation, and everything else
- 25:51Speaker 2: should be off limits.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:56Speaker 2: I know some people that they got kids that do
- 25:58Speaker 2: a lot of coffee, and I don't know if they're
- 26:01Speaker 2: doing decaf. Again, not my business, but I can just
- 26:07Speaker 2: speak from experience. When I started morning coffee every day,
- 26:13Speaker 2: really early in the morning, I think that was a
- 26:15Speaker 2: mistake because now I've got the addiction and it's just
- 26:19Speaker 2: a hard, cold reality that kind of wish if I
- 26:23Speaker 2: could go back in time and stop it, I would
- 26:25Speaker 2: have definitely. I mean, I enjoy it doing it every day,
- 26:28Speaker 2: I think is the problem. Almost half of Americans own
- 26:31Speaker 2: at least one dog, and more than a third have
- 26:34Speaker 2: at least one cat. Most of us consider pets part
- 26:37Speaker 2: of the family. You go have recently asked Americans why
- 26:40Speaker 2: they have a dog or cat. Most common answers they
- 26:43Speaker 2: provide unconditional love, They entertain me, they provide emotional support.
- 26:50Speaker 2: The downsides, sixty five percent of dog owners, fifty seven
- 26:53Speaker 2: percent of cat owners admitting that having their pets makes
- 26:56Speaker 2: travel more difficult, and about half say that their pet
- 27:00Speaker 2: is messy. So all right, that'll do it for this
