Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / Coordinated Attack
Transcript
- 0:01The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
- 0:06day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Monday morning, fourteenth
- 0:12day of August. I'm West Thanks for joining me. Two weeks in to
- 0:18the months. Weren't we just talking about the start of August. We're just
- 0:21talking about the start of July, weren't we, And we're too deep two
- 0:26whole weeks deep now into August. I told you it was going to happen
- 0:31quick downhill. We'll be rolling right on into it. And the school supplies,
- 0:36I guess, are moving off of the shelves and making way for officially
- 0:41all of the Halloween stuff, if you haven't already seen that that's taking place
- 0:45now. I do the shopping in the Carroll household, and I was in
- 0:50a couple of stores over the weekend, and yes, it's happening, and
- 0:55it's happening quickly. I erroneously said that all of our schools, I think
- 1:02I said that. I said at least most of our schools in the Chattahoochee
- 1:06Valley area, we're back. I guess by the end of last week,
- 1:08not so true. I found out that there may well, there's at least
- 1:12one more. There may be a few more getting started this week. But
- 1:17I do know that Calvary Christian School is starting back today, So if you're
- 1:22part of that group going back, or have someone who is starting back there,
- 1:26I guess the staff and things were probably working on last week but by
- 1:32Friday when I erroneously credited everybody being back. But I do know a few
- 1:36kids going to Calvary and excited for them to be getting back into the school
- 1:41year today. So now I guess maybe after today they'll all be back.
- 1:47This may be the final stretch of it, at least for our area,
- 1:49and I know schools around the country I'll be getting back in. And I
- 1:53got a buddy up in the Carolinas and his dad was say, a buddy
- 2:01and his dad. I'm friends with the dad, but you know, the
- 2:05kid is my buddy, and he's getting started back in the next couple of
- 2:08weeks. So they're a little closer. Well, I wouldn't say that.
- 2:12They do end later than we end here and then start back later, So
- 2:17they're about on the same ten month cycle, I guess as us with all
- 2:22those extra days and breaks and things, but they get started closer to when
- 2:27we got started when I was a kid, there wasn't all of this extra
- 2:30holidays and things during the school year. I know that's probably the better way
- 2:35to go, because I feel like that three month summer that we used to
- 2:38get was was pretty long. It was nice for us. But I do
- 2:43think that there's that tendency for kids to really get into that almost coma toast
- 2:51state where they just don't want to you know, just almost coma toast over
- 2:54the weekend, over the summer, because it says enough on the weekends.
- 2:59My kids had their first week, most of a first week last week,
- 3:01and just trying to get them to snap out of things late in the day
- 3:06yesterday, it's always a challenge, you know, just with two days off,
- 3:09it's a challenge. So anyway, all right, so let's let's talk
- 3:14about a couple of things. I want to talk about this looming I guess
- 3:19next indictment for Trump, And you know, I feel like anybody who is
- 3:24shocked or surprised that another indictment's coming in Georgia and are going to happen in
- 3:30Georgia, I mean, I think it's inevitable. I think we knew every
- 3:34single possible thing that they could throw at him, was going to come at
- 3:38him. And I do think it's important that we observe the fact that these
- 3:44are all happening strategically placed out. They didn't hit him all at once.
- 3:49This wasn't a full, you know, Oppenheimer moment. This was stretching things
- 3:57out over a few months so that the maximum effect could take place with all
- 4:02of this. I do not, in any way think that the timing of
- 4:06all of these different charges is anything other than intentional. All Right, I'm
- 4:14not a conspiracy guy. I do think that this is an easy one to
- 4:17execute, Okay. I think that when you know, you've seen these videos
- 4:24online where they show different news outlets, like you, local news outlets from
- 4:30around the country magically all just saying the same thing. They're getting the same
- 4:36text coming down from their affiliate, their affiliates of their affiliation headquarters as far
- 4:45as their news networks. So they're getting that information in the form of some
- 4:49sort of a script because they're all saying the same thing. They're just reading
- 4:51it off the prompter. Someone feeds it in a prompter, someone sits there
- 4:57and reads it. And there have been several of these that have gone around
- 5:01on the Internet, you can look them up. There's even some Yes,
- 5:04have some of our local news anchors involved in these things for our local network
- 5:12affiliates. So if that can be coordinated, if the late night talk show
- 5:23hosts will often have conversations with politicians, that all really bubbled up to the
- 5:30surface during the Jimmy Kimmel pushing for uh, you know, free healthcare and
- 5:38in changing gun laws, that came up. Then that came up when when
- 5:44it was revealed that yes, he was having conversations with you know, different
- 5:47people in in uh, you know, up the chain. And then and
- 5:51then they started having these people on his guests. Remember that, Remember they
- 5:55started having them on his guests. They do that now. Even Drew barrymore
- 6:00Or with her daytime talk show, she has politicians on and bows at the
- 6:03feet of transgender activists and things. She's done that. So I don't think
- 6:11any of this should be taken for granted that this is very easily, very
- 6:15coordinated. Now, I'm not often into the conspiracy game, but we've seen
- 6:18a lot lately with conspiracies turning out to be true, and it seems like
- 6:26one after the next after the next, things that we were shouted at for
- 6:30just questioning I'm not even talking about the people. I had people in my
- 6:32life during COVID who refused, no matter what, they were not getting vaccinated.
- 6:39They refused, no matter what, they were not wearing a mask in
- 6:42public unless they were in a situation where they absolutely had to, and they
- 6:46would get out of that situation if that meant that they were going to have
- 6:50to wear a mask, if it was an option, and only in cases
- 6:55where they didn't have a choice, and even then they probably weren't really going
- 6:58to wear it. I took fly criticism for first of all, my job
- 7:04in trying to spread the word, and keep in mind, I was during
- 7:12the twenty twenty year working solo doing a radio show where I was interviewing people
- 7:20in the White House. I was interviewing people in various levels of government about
- 7:27COVID, including the Surgeon General. I had him on. So yes,
- 7:32my job then was to spread the information. It wasn't to give commentary or
- 7:36opinion on it. It was to spread the information. That's what my job
- 7:41was during the pandemic, and that's what I did. I passed along the
- 7:45information we had at the time, and obviously that information has changed over time,
- 7:48I've taken flak for going to events or being at events and wearing masks
- 7:56in the past. I'm not one of those people who thinks that masks should
- 8:01come back, or that they will come back. I don't see that playing
- 8:05out, especially not rolling into this next election. I do think that masks
- 8:11were part of the widespread panic of COVID because I don't know that we knew
- 8:20that was going to be effective in any way when they encouraged it, but
- 8:22it certainly was a constant reminder of what was going on around us going into
- 8:26the twenty twenty election. So I don't see that as being a real option
- 8:33moving forward. I just don't. I don't think that we're going to get
- 8:35to that point. There are a few people saying that we should, and
- 8:39I think that the big picture effort here is not going to let that happen.
- 8:43But we'll see. I've been wrong before, and I guess it could
- 8:46ultimately be decided based on who ends up with nominations on each side, because
- 8:54that's that's ultimately the question, isn't it Okay? So I think it's pretty
- 9:01easy to assume that some of these conspiracies that have been proven true or at
- 9:09least the conspiracy question mark part of it has been shot down, and then
- 9:15some of the other stuff is starting to pan out and become more and more
- 9:18likely and true. Now, in spite of what you may have heard,
- 9:20I was about to mention, there's one that's been lingering around for a long
- 9:24time, and there's been people that I've seen saying they've proven it now that
- 9:28there are definitely aliens and we have them. There hasn't made proof of that.
- 9:33There's been some accusations of that. There've been accusations of that for a
- 9:35long time. What's changed from a I guess you could call it to be
- 9:45very diplomatic, what's changed about all of this is that the people talking about
- 9:50this in Congress are a bit more reputable than some of the people who've talked
- 9:54about it in the past. When you have Navy fighter pilots talking about seeing
- 9:58these used to be UFOs now UAPs, that gives a little bit more credibility
- 10:03to the story. When you have people that you know held positions in intelligence
- 10:09areas talking about it, it holds more credibility. But let's not kid ourselves.
- 10:13There hasn't been anything confirmed proof. No one has dragged a body out
- 10:18and said welcome to Earth or anything like that. That hasn't happened yet,
- 10:20so let's remind that. But we're getting what seems to be more and more
- 10:26cases of either you know, at least maybe just knocking the question mark off
- 10:31the conspiracy theory idea, you know. I mean, there's still has always
- 10:35been this conspiracy that they're hiding that they have the aliens. So now someone's
- 10:39come out and said that, and somebody that has at least you would think
- 10:46a lot of respectability as far as witnesses go. So I'm not going to
- 10:52sit here and tell you that this is all guaranteed orchestrated. I'm just telling
- 10:56you it's believable that we have these very strategic attacks on Trump happening just one
- 11:03after the next, after the next, and then the next the latest thing
- 11:05that's happened in all of this. Of course, that again seems mighty suspect.
- 11:13It seems mighty interesting. And that's the fact that the charges that have
- 11:22or I shouldn't say charges because there's not charges yet. There's a special counsel
- 11:26that's been appointed that is going to be investigating the Hunter Biden everything. It's
- 11:35an investigation in Hunter Biden. I was gonna say the Hunter Biden laptop,
- 11:39but this is about all of Hunter Biden business dealings and all of that.
- 11:41So as our Congress, our Republican Congress was working towards, the House was
- 11:46working towards getting more information on Hunter Biden, maybe bringing in more witnesses and
- 11:52bringing in more people to get some answers about it so that a decision could
- 11:58maybe be made about an impeachment if that's where they wanted to go with Joe
- 12:01Biden and digging into this well, now many experts are saying, well,
- 12:05hold it. If this uh, now that this special Council has been appointed,
- 12:11now that David Weiss is stepping in, that now basically effectively puts a
- 12:18block on Republicans doing what they want to do. So again, this seems
- 12:24to be the latest in this line of very convenient things that are happening.
- 12:28Because if they can stretch this investigation out, well passed twenty twenty four.
- 12:35If they can stretch this out, I don't know, maybe to twenty twenty
- 12:39early twenty twenty seven, right, could could they get it to that point?
- 12:45Could they get it into at least into the twenty twenty six, they
- 12:50want to see I guess. I mean, would this be a crazy notion
- 12:54that we get to early twenty twenty seven, Okay, some time I don't
- 13:00know, around February. If in fact, Joe Biden ends up getting reelected
- 13:05and he's president for those two years of that term, he would finish out
- 13:11his second year at the end of January, so that would be the end
- 13:15of his sixty year And assuming that Kamala Harris is still the VP, if
- 13:20he stepped down at that point because he had to because of pressures of all
- 13:24of this investigation, and then she would be in a position where she could
- 13:28potentially run for president two more times because it's you know, she would be
- 13:33finishing out a two year term and then it's a maximum of ten years.
- 13:35So but I don't know that anybody wants her to be president anyway, So
- 13:39that's another factor altogether. But don't kid yourself that certainly could be how all
- 13:48this plays out. Just make a little note somewhere that this is a possibility.
- 13:52That's it. That's all I'm asking you to do, as we have
- 13:54another big old set of coincidence or whatever it is. But it certainly seems
- 14:01very calculated and orchestrated, doesn't it all? Right? Another quick note,
- 14:05I wanted to just mention this because another thing that seems to be playing out
- 14:09is, you know, they're throwing everything they can at the former president,
- 14:16at Trump, and they're trying to make it all stick, and they're trying
- 14:18to hit him one punch after the next, and they're trying to get the
- 14:22American people to go, oh my gosh, how many criminal things has he
- 14:26done? How many criminal things are they accusing him of. The diehard Trump
- 14:31people aren't going to hear it. They don't they you're not going to break
- 14:33them. And the diehard anti Trump people they're not going to change. It
- 14:37doesn't matter what's coming in. It just means they shout a little bit more
- 14:41about, Hey, maybe Trump's gonna go to jail. The folks in the
- 14:46middle are always the people that are being fought over, and that's a big
- 14:48part of what this fight is all about, is about getting those people to
- 14:52say, I don't know if I could vote for a guy that's been indicted
- 14:56this many times, because this is all unprecedented, and that's part of also
- 15:00the strategy that's in play here. But over the weekend, Iowa State Fair.
- 15:05The Republicans were there working hard trying to get ready for the Iowa caucuses,
- 15:11and the governor Florida, Rhnda Santis, was wrapping up his time there.
- 15:20By all accounts, he'd had a pretty good run there, meeting with
- 15:22the folks in Iowa. And then Donald Trump shows up, and he shows
- 15:28up with a gaggle, if you will, of Florida US House members,
- 15:35and some people kind of raise an eyebrow and went, well, what's going
- 15:39on here? He's got Matt Gates and others with him showing up, and
- 15:41they're you know, this group that's kind of been with Trump all along they
- 15:46show up, So it's no big shock that you know, they'd be hanging
- 15:52out with Trump. But it certainly is one of those things that could be
- 15:56strategically used against Rhonda Santis as people, because that's what the move was about.
- 16:04You show up in Iowa, who honestly, they don't care. I
- 16:07don't think I don't think a lot of people in Iowa that are undecided voters
- 16:11are looking at it going. Man, those people really don't like Rhonda Santis
- 16:15in Florida. But some of the media outlets have picked it up and they're
- 16:21running with it about what an embarrassment this is for Desantists because see this is
- 16:25another move because the person they're most afraid of is Donald Trump. The person
- 16:29they're second most afraid of is Rhonda Santis. So this is a setup so
- 16:33that if they can get Trump out of this, if they can get Trump
- 16:40found guilty and having difficulties on ballots, or get him to take some kind
- 16:44of a plea deal or whatever it is they're trying to do, if they
- 16:47can get that to happen, they have to have these things in place already
- 16:51out there to go after Desantists because they'd be afraid of him. I think
- 16:56they should be very aware of DeSantis anyway, if their goal is to get
- 17:00Trump out of the race, because suddenly you're not getting this. You know,
- 17:06the same two candidates going at each other. It's not a repeat campaign
- 17:10with the same two guys. And again, DeSantis is a lot younger.
- 17:15He's like almost half Biden's age. So it would create complications. It would
- 17:19create a lot of complications. Could it create a situation where suddenly magically the
- 17:26Special Council comes in with stuff and puts Biden in a position where he's got
- 17:30to get out of there. Could that happen at the last possible minute.
- 17:33Anything's possible, anything at all is possible. I don't want to go too
- 17:37far down the conspiracy well, I just want to say that we just have
- 17:44to pay attention. We have to pay when you notice things like media outlets
- 17:48critical of basically applauding Trump's strategic move to show up in Iowa with members of
- 17:57the US House from Florida. That's reason to at least raise an eyebrow.
- 18:03That's reason to at least be very aware that something weird's going on there.
- 18:08There's just something strange going on in the neighborhood. Just something's not right right.
- 18:15Today's show brought to you by Columba State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center,
- 18:21inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
- 18:29really of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids,
- 18:33as school aged kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
- 18:37also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
- 18:41physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now,
- 18:48and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
- 18:56org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
- 19:00They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from
- 19:06Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that
- 19:11you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
- 19:15it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
- 19:18Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
- 19:25in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new
- 19:30season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
- 19:36and also check out when the next Astronomy Nights coming up where you can get
- 19:40outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you
- 19:45get outside somewhere outside the city lights you don't on any light interference, and
- 19:48you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website.
- 19:53It's CCSSC dot org. As Shawn Kruzen says, Charlie Charlie Sam Sam
- 19:59Charlie dot org. I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
- 20:03Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company
- 20:10of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 20:15Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
- 20:21maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at
- 20:26Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
- 20:30and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the
- 20:33maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
- 20:38appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work
- 20:42done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely.
- 20:48Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe
- 20:52it's some sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather,
- 20:56Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation
- 21:00where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you
- 21:04can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor,
- 21:10but indoor. You know, if you like to work on your own
- 21:12cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man caved, you'd
- 21:15like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects
- 21:18in. They can do that for you as well. And again they do
- 21:22after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 21:26inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come
- 21:30help. And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty
- 21:34five hundred, seven h six three five eight forty five hundred O DC Columbus
- 21:40dot com. More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, all
- 21:52right, more Barbie talk. First of all, I got a little grief
- 21:56about some of my comments about Barbie on Friday, and I'm not I'm not
- 22:00backpedaling on any of it. I'm not. I'm I'm I'm very firm in
- 22:07my opinion that my review that I gave Friday of the movie. I'm just
- 22:12I'm standing by it. Uh and the people who said that there you know,
- 22:17there's a different little message at the end of the movie. I agree
- 22:18there is. That's not I mean, the main message of the movie I
- 22:22think was the you know, ninety minute message that was pounded home bluntly without
- 22:29any sort of skilled writing to it. It was just pounded home over and
- 22:37over and over again. And there is a there is a couple of extra
- 22:41little messages at the end, and there's a message. And I thought I
- 22:45didn't really touch on this because I didn't want to spoil it for anybody,
- 22:47but there is a little bit of a message there that women can be anything
- 22:51they want to be, even if they're not technically a woman. I mean,
- 22:55that is part of the final note of the movie, isn't it,
- 23:00That you could be anything you want to be, even a woman, even
- 23:03if you're not a woman. And I know you could argue it's the little
- 23:06Pinocchio kind of thing, but anyway, and the one thing at the very
- 23:11end that gets said that would never really need to be said, is all
- 23:17I'm saying. But speaking of the final scene of the movie, there's a
- 23:19moment where Barbie is wearing birkenstocks, a rose colored birkenstocks, and I guess,
- 23:27oh man, they're just selling like crazy. It's the latest Barbie related
- 23:32merchandise flying off the shelves. Colors already sold out at several retailers, but
- 23:37you can get them at the Birkenstock site for just one hundred and sixty dollars.
- 23:41Get me two pairs at that price if they're still available. They were
- 23:48as of me checking a little while ago. The movie has caused a one
- 23:53one hundred ten percent spike in searches for birken Stocks. They're calling at the
- 23:59Barbie brick and Stock as a breakout and that's what they're the Google terminology for
- 24:04the past thirty days or so. So there you go, all right.
- 24:10The about a new survey that was done. It says about seventy percent of
- 24:15married respondents said that they couldn't even enjoy their own wedding day because of how
- 24:18stressed they were about how they looked. And they said they were trying to
- 24:22get those perfect wedding photos. And sixty eight percent said they believe it's important
- 24:29to look good in those wedding photos. Well, of course, they're permanent
- 24:33there there for you to cherish forever. Right, you have to keep those
- 24:37wedding photos forever and and have them on the walls and in an album and
- 24:42whatever else you have them with a book. Some people get those books made,
- 24:48so you want that. So, yeah, it's a lot of pressure
- 24:49so that you can, you know, look your best, because you're gonna
- 24:52be looking at these pictures forever. And they're not cheap. You know,
- 24:56if you get them cheap, it might be a a cheap photographer. That
- 25:02doesn't necessarily mean they are, but it might be. Sometimes you just get
- 25:04what you pay for, right, all right? Is working from home as
- 25:10good as a race? Some employees agree. According to Stanford Economics professor Nicholas
- 25:15Bloom, workers view a remote or hybrid work environment equal to an eight percent
- 25:21pay increase. Beyond that, keeping workers happy by allowing for a hybrid workplace
- 25:25leads to a greater employee retention and more productivity. A study from Harvard Business
- 25:30School found that employees who work from home seventy five percent of the time were
- 25:34the most productive. You got more and more companies asking people to get back
- 25:40in there. They tell them, you've got to come back to work.
- 25:41You got to get in here. You need to be here in person,
- 25:44at least for part of the time. I told you last week, a
- 25:47zoom that's their whole business model. Isn't it that you can be productive just
- 25:53with zoom. You don't have to be looking at each other in a room.
- 25:56You can look at each other with zoom. That should be their slogan.
- 26:00I didn't mean to make it rhyme, but it really should be their
- 26:03slogan, shouldn't it all right? Finally, Duncan looking to add a little
