Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / Liberal Networks Won't Even Air Live Trump Speeches
Transcript
- 0:01The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day
- 0:06and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Wednesday morning, seventeenth day
- 0:11of January high I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me as we're hit midweek now,
- 0:19a cold start to the day, a cold night overnight. I'll just
- 0:24say this, and I don't want to. You know, I know everybody's
- 0:27dealing with their own situation, and I'm not saying mine's any worse than anyone
- 0:34else's. I told you a little bit yesterday, opened up a little bit
- 0:37about friends that I know that have just experienced a horrific house fire, and
- 0:43I know that others are dealing with all sorts of things, and I don't
- 0:46want to in any way. I'm keeping things in perspective, is what I'm
- 0:50trying to say. I've opened up a little bit about the fact that we're
- 0:54in the middle of a renovation with our kitchen and it involved basically the whole
- 1:04kitchen, the walls and ceiling being taken out, and that is something that
- 1:11makes your house especially cold. Just giving you that as perspective after a night
- 1:17of basically just cold air coming up from places and warm air escaping to places.
- 1:25It is brutally cold in that part of our house. We've basically just
- 1:29had to try to seal that off as much as we can and not use
- 1:32it for a couple of days because it is brutal. With the cold weather
- 1:34and what we're dealing with here this morning. The good news is it warms
- 1:41up and it won't be quite as bad. I know we saw some heard
- 1:45flurries were spotted in parts of the Chattahoochee Valley yesterday. I know parts of
- 1:49Georgia saw flurries, and I guess some snow up in the northern part.
- 1:53I've got friends, acquaintances and friends that live in Tennessee that have experienced a
- 2:02lot of snow up in the Nashville area, and so all that has been
- 2:08going on. But the good news here, if you don't like the cold
- 2:10weathers, it's gonna quickly warm up here over the next couple of days quite
- 2:15a bit and we'll but you know, we got some icy rain, we
- 2:19got some sleep, We had that sort of stuff we were dealing with yesterday.
- 2:23But just bitterly cold this morning is largely what we're dealing with. And
- 2:30the wind yesterday is what really put it on you. It was just a
- 2:34brutal walking from just the car to indoors and back was just rough yesterday.
- 2:40So anyway, it'll be a rough start this morning, and you need to
- 2:45do what you need to do, layer up because it'll it'll warm up as
- 2:47the day goes on. Eventually. You just got to hang in there,
- 2:51right, all right. I talked a little bit yesterday about the Caucasus Iowa,
- 2:59and we know now that we're down to three and realistically we're a one,
- 3:07and you know that was part of my coverage yesterday. We haven't learned
- 3:12anything different. I mean, we learned that Vivek was out, and that's
- 3:15it. That's all we really know. It's really any different, But we
- 3:19knew he was probably going out. I don't think that was a big shock.
- 3:22I don't think there was any big surprise that he would be exiting after
- 3:27not having a good performance in Iowa. Folks on some of the TV networks
- 3:34MSNBC and especially I'll start with them, That's what I will to talking about
- 3:39today is kind of the coverage of that. But folks on MSNBC would certainly
- 3:44blame racism on why Ramaswami wasn't able to do better. They've also blamed racism
- 3:50on why ultimately Nikki Haley won't be the nominee. So just a couple of
- 3:57things as far as how coverage has gone on of the caucuses in Iowa,
- 4:01and it's something that has been going on now for quite some time. And
- 4:05I know I talked yesterday just about the fact that the way we know that
- 4:12Trump, they're doing everything they can to absolutely obstruct and prevent his campaign from
- 4:19happening. Like they don't want it to happen at all. They're doing everything
- 4:23they can to make sure that Donald Trump isn't able to just run as a
- 4:28candidate, isn't able to run and let the American people decide who they want
- 4:31to be president. There's a concern that only Joe Biden can beat him.
- 4:36That's what the concern is on the left, and they feel like they're stuck
- 4:42with Joe Biden if Trump is in. I have told you and I still
- 4:46believe deep down that if it was possible for them to just officially get Trump
- 4:51out of the race, they would probably be ready to dump Joe Biden.
- 4:56I just feel that that's and I also feel that ultimate in November, when
- 5:01Trump wins, and that seems to be what we're headed for based on the
- 5:05polling and based on what polling says in a number of states, and again,
- 5:11a lot can happen. I know that, But if Trump ends up
- 5:14winning, I have a feeling and I think I've said this before here.
- 5:16I know I've said it to a couple of people, but I just feel
- 5:20like, if Trump ends up winning before somewhere between election day and Trump being
- 5:30sworn back in again, I just feel like we're going to have a situation,
- 5:34some sort of a crisis that's going to involve Biden needing to step down
- 5:40and Kamala Harris needing to be sworn in. I just feel like Democrats their
- 5:46concern, especially if Trump picks a woman as his running mate, especially if
- 5:49Trump ends up with Nikki Haley or whatever, however all this is going to
- 5:55play out. If that's what happens, I feel like, with you know,
- 6:00the vice president, the person who would then be vice president elect if
- 6:05it is Nicky Haley or if it's a woman, the likelihood of them being
- 6:10the candidate in four years, with Trump's support behind them as he's you know,
- 6:15leaving office, I just I feel like Democrats don't want the first woman
- 6:18president to be a Republican. I think that's part of why we've seen these
- 6:23attacks that have been going at Nicky Haley for a number of reasons. So
- 6:28let's get to those attacks. And that's just that's a small little prediction.
- 6:30I don't know. I don't know what all the ramifications would be of that,
- 6:34other than they would be able to say, hey, we did it
- 6:35first, and it wouldn't be an elected president if they just had Biden step
- 6:42aside for Harris. But anyway, just don't put anything past them, is
- 6:46what I'm saying. Isn't going to happen to I predicted happening. I don't
- 6:48really do predictions. I'm just pointing out the fact that it's a possibility it
- 6:53could be something that happens just so they could say they did it first.
- 6:57Keep in mind, this is the party and Joe Biden is one of the
- 6:59people that was behind it that then as a senator who did everything he could
- 7:05to prevent a black woman from getting appointed to a position where she could be
- 7:12elevated to the Supreme Court by George W. Bush. Keep in mind that
- 7:17Biden also was part he and I think it was Ted Kennedy who did their
- 7:24part in making sure that a Hispanic man wasn't appointed to a court where they
- 7:28would have an opportunity to be appointed potentially to the Supreme Court as conservatives,
- 7:35so they didn't want that to happen. They didn't want Republicans to have that,
- 7:40and that's why it became important for who the picks were from the Obama
- 7:46administration and the Biden administration anyway. So just don't put anything past them,
- 7:53right all R. Let's talk a little bit about MSNBC and CNN, and
- 7:57it involves back to this idea that we know that Trump has been it treated
- 8:03unfairly along the lines of trying to do everything that they can to make sure
- 8:07that he can't have his candidacy. The other part of all of this is
- 8:13obviously the way that it's covered. And I know people who have told me
- 8:20that they just there's no way they could see Trump as president because of all
- 8:24these charges against him. And that's part of the strategy. That's and this
- 8:28is someone who wouldn't have voted for Trump anyway. This isn't someone who wouldn't
- 8:33vote for any Republican who has you know, probably not voted in many elections,
- 8:39but definitely wouldn't vote for Trump in any capacity whatsoever. Someone who was
- 8:46definitely a Hillary supporter and just couldn't believe that Trump won. And I think
- 8:50that's a big part of what a lot of the animosity is not necessarily for
- 8:54this person, but I think that's a big part of the animosity in general
- 8:58towards Trump. And it continues on he did something he wasn't supposed to do,
- 9:01and that was when he just wasn't supposed to win. But hearing this
- 9:05person say that they can't possibly see Trump as president, acknowledge him as president,
- 9:11or see him imagine anyone wanting to vote for him if he ends up
- 9:16being a convicted felon, or even just with these charges against him. And
- 9:20that's part of the strategy. That's part of the game. The multiple impeachments
- 9:24were part of the strategy. The indictments are part of the strategy to label
- 9:31him with that. And then this notion of using very specific terminology for January
- 9:35sixth, using very specific words that help them just help label him as an
- 9:46insurrectionist. That word came out very quickly when things happen, just you know,
- 9:54he's an insurrectionist. These are the charges that have to come against him.
- 9:56He won't be on certain ballots because he's tried to commit treason as an
- 10:03insurrectionist, and all these sorts of things. So also part of this strategy,
- 10:09and it was evident, and I had to I was told about it,
- 10:15and I had to look up and watch some of the coverage because I
- 10:18was not watching MSNBC. I didn't want to see their I don't need to
- 10:24see their coverage of things unless it becomes newsworthy, and in this case,
- 10:28I think it is newsworthy to comment on some of the things that they said.
- 10:35I wish that I had tuned into them a little bit more in twenty
- 10:39sixteen when Hillary lost and watched them cry. But thankfully that's been captured for
- 10:43posterity so that we can all watch that for years and years and years to
- 10:48come. But on Monday Night, MSNBC and CNN, I guess both chose
- 10:58not to show Trump speech because I guess they have had a long running ban
- 11:07on live speeches from Donald Trump. They say that there's potential for danger and
- 11:11harm and the things that he could say, the lies, and they can't
- 11:16fact check him while he's doing When is this become a thing? When has
- 11:20this become a thing with a politician? And if that's true, why aren't
- 11:24they doing this? Why haven't they done this with other politicians? All the
- 11:28times that President Obama told us that the health care situation for each individual that
- 11:37had health care wasn't going to change. Your health care is going to stay
- 11:39the same. It's another You're going to be able to keep your health care.
- 11:43The plans aren't going anywhere. None of the things that you're afraid of
- 11:48are going to happen. The only thing that's going to happen is that people
- 11:50who don't have health care are going to be able to have cheap or free
- 11:54health care. So why are you worried about it? Why are you?
- 11:58Why are you? You know you're gonna be able to keep your plan.
- 12:01Everyone knew that was false. And as soon as things went into place,
- 12:05insurance companies started dropping those plans that people had, the lower plans, and
- 12:09they started bumping the prices up, They banned some of the plans, they
- 12:13got rid of them. Everyone knew it wasn't true. Just like you know,
- 12:18they made the case. They pretended, they played a semantics game with
- 12:22is it a tax. Is it a fine? Is it a fine?
- 12:24Is it attacks? They told us one thing, they told the courts a
- 12:26different thing that was a lie. Every time they said it, it was
- 12:30a lie. We all knew it was a lie while it was being said,
- 12:35and it played out exactly the way we all knew. They didn't stop
- 12:39President Obama from speaking. They didn't ban him. Imagine that. Imagine the
- 12:45first black president being banned, his speeches banned. But anyway, they wouldn't
- 12:50do that, of course. I mean, I wouldn't recommend doing I don't
- 12:52recommend banning any current or former president from speaking publicly, even if it's Built
- 13:00Clinton. Even if Bill Clinton wants to give a very detailed description of what
- 13:05all happened with Jeffrey Epstein hanging out with him or taking flights to his island,
- 13:11or what if he wants to do that, I understand maybe you want
- 13:16to put a disclaimer up on the screen, But let him speak. Haven't
- 13:20our presidents and current and past presidents earn the right to speak publicly and be
- 13:26heard, right, I mean, it's not like you're going to be show.
- 13:31I mean, they're sort of trying to paint this picture that Trump is
- 13:35going to get on TV and start screaming for insurrection. Ah, we have
- 13:39to do these horrible things. They've let politicians in the past, especially in
- 13:43twenty twenty, they let him go on TV and call for violence and people
- 13:48should be rioting and protesting in the streets. That happened a lot. That
- 13:54happened a lot in twenty twenty. We saw that over and over and over
- 13:58again. We saw Nancy Pulow's was one who I don't know why people aren't
- 14:03not protesting this. I don't know why people aren't out challenging this. Keep
- 14:09in mind that we've had people inside the Capitol chasing sitting members of Congress,
- 14:13chasing them around, trying to harass them and bother them. You might argue
- 14:20that would be in the vein of insurrection for some, but they're not going
- 14:24to say that because they want people to be able to protest. They want
- 14:28people to have the ability to protest. Unless they're protesting is something that Donald
- 14:35Trump wants them to protest, then it becomes insurrection. So the networks,
- 14:41those two networks in particular, did not want to show Donald Trump's acceptance speech,
- 14:46which by the way, was a very different Donald Trump wasn't the same
- 14:52guy. He was not speaking of DeSantis or Haley in a overly negative way,
- 14:58or rams Swami. He wasn't trashing them. It's kind of a different
- 15:03Donald Trump, which I thought was a bit of a breath of fresh air,
- 15:07right. Wasn't it nice to see him being a little less a little
- 15:15more gracious to them, a little less abrasive. I thought it was nice.
- 15:22I thought it was a good speech in that regard. But of course
- 15:24they didn't want us you to see that. They didn't want unnecessarily you.
- 15:28You're probably not watching those networks anyway. Joy Reid and others, Rachel Maddow,
- 15:33there were a few that tapped into the fact that it was white Christians
- 15:37in Iowa that were casting votes, and that we need to be concerned about
- 15:43these white Christians in their vote. We have to be concerned about fascism just
- 15:48rolling in totalitarianism, completely oblivious, of course, to the fact that we
- 15:54have a government using the Justice Department to attack one of the candidates, the
- 15:58leading candidate on the other side, to try to keep him from being able
- 16:02to be a candidate at all. All of that completely lost on them.
- 16:07But we also got to hear Joy Reid reference the fact that Nikki Haley is
- 16:11the brown woman and that these white people, racist white people, will never
- 16:15get past that. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but that's basically what she
- 16:18said, that these white Christian Republicans won't be able to give her a chance.
- 16:25They don't want Nicki Haley to have a chance. They don't want that
- 16:29at all. They hate Trump, and then they hate if Trump somehow wasn't
- 16:33the nominee, they would hate whoever the nominee was even more than Trump.
- 16:37We've already gone down this path with DeSantis. They started calling him to Satan
- 16:42and he's Trump is the worst ever, and the only one worse is DeSantis.
- 16:48That was said very early on when people thought, oh my gosh,
- 16:51it might be DeSantis. Don't kid yourself. They don't want Nicki Haley to
- 16:56be the nominee. They probably don't want Nicki Haley to be the nomine need
- 17:00more than they don't want Trump to be the nominee, because again, they
- 17:03don't want Republicans to elect a woman to the White House before they get a
- 17:07chance to do it, especially not a non white woman like Nikki Haley.
- 17:12They don't want that at all and they will do anything, anything at all
- 17:18that they can do to prevent that from happening, and Republicans being the first
- 17:22one to elect a woman into the White House. Today's show brought to you
- 17:26by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth
- 17:33and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
- 17:40mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca
- 17:44Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where
- 17:48you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
- 17:55STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
- 18:00your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
- 18:07out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
- 18:14with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 18:18It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
- 18:22of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus Georgia, you think,
- 18:26is this really in Columbus Georgia. I mean, this is a major city
- 18:32attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 18:38Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming
- 18:44dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming
- 18:48up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Co
- 18:52Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights.
- 18:56You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well.
- 19:00Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
- 19:06Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that
- 19:11it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought
- 19:18to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door
- 19:22needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 19:29It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
- 19:33have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 19:38squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask
- 19:41them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your
- 19:45garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 19:51and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
- 19:53a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 19:59door open and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got.
- 20:03With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 20:08Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
- 20:12to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
- 20:15garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
- 20:21like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
- 20:23a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and
- 20:26not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
- 20:30and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 20:33of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 20:38you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven
- 20:42oh six thory five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty
- 20:47five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break.
- 21:02How often do you feel your best? A new survey says that the
- 21:07average American feels their best about half of the time fifteen days a month.
- 21:15That breaks down to half the time right six months of the year. Do
- 21:22you feel your best for six months of the year. Biggest reasons that people
- 21:26say they don't feel their best they say they're not getting enough sleep. Sum
- 21:29it's because of stress. Some the sickness gets in the way when it comes
- 21:33to feeling stress. Gen X the generation most affected. Fifty seven percent of
- 21:37Gen X or surveyed said that stress brings them down more than any other generation.
- 21:47So yeah, I can. I don't know the stress. The sleep
- 21:51one for me, not getting enough sleep applies to me as representative of that
- 21:56gen X contingency we all know about. The I hate it and I hate
- 22:03even saying it. I hate referencing it because I think it's stupid and it's
- 22:06one of those things that was put in place just to stop white women from
- 22:08speaking up. And I hate that white women go along with it in any
- 22:12capacity whatsoever. But the whole Karen thing, you know, the code name
- 22:17Karen for supposedly it's a woman who is entitled and feels like she gets to
- 22:23do whatever she wants to do and has control over things, when in reality,
- 22:27it's just a way to tell white women to shut up and you shouldn't
- 22:32speak out and want to follow the rules right or get what you deserve or
- 22:37what should be coming to you. That's for other people to do. You
- 22:41shouldn't do that white ladies. Well, apparently if you are part of the
- 22:47airline industry, especially if you're a part of the flight crew, a flight
- 22:52attendant or something, there's a code word for passengers that fit this bill of
- 23:00being someone who is obnoxious. And I mean that's what some people see the
- 23:04Karen thing is is just that they're obnoxious. But I think that's deeper than
- 23:07that personally. But in this case for flights, they call passengers that they
- 23:14don't like Philip, and it relates to an airline code which is a p
- 23:18I l P, a PILP, which is passenger I'd like to punch.
- 23:25So it's the people who are always asking for some sort of assistance you know,
- 23:27hitting the buzzer, complaining about the babies and children around them, or
- 23:34filming the crew while they're trying to work for whatever reason. And they basically
- 23:41say, there's a lot of flights say you can't film the crew for safety
- 23:47reason. So that's another reason that they've become a bit of a problem.
- 23:49I guess United American Delta in Southwest or all airlines that don't allow you to
- 23:55film the crew while they are working. Believe in ghosts or supernatural figures.
- 24:03A new pole says sixty one percent of people say they believe in ghosts.
- 24:06The poll finds that fifty seven percent believe in aliens and seventy percent believe in
- 24:11the devil. Eighty five percent say that they believe in God. So this
- 24:17is, I guess, just a poll that was done in general to find
- 24:22out something about things that people believe in that they can't necessarily see, right.
- 24:29I mean, I guess you in theory you would be able to see
- 24:32aliens if they came down. But anyway, it's just on the beliefs and
- 24:37the poll comes this story comes from the hill. But interesting, the real
- 24:45clear opinion poll is the folks responsible for this particular poll. So there you
- 24:49go, social media acknowledging older sisters, saying that older sisters are the responsible
- 24:59backbone of society, dutiful, hands on, thoughtful, and caring and have
- 25:03assumed that role since they were young. A study found that girls between the
- 25:07ages of five and fourteen spend forty percent more time on domestic work than boys.
- 25:15And they say that older sisters big sisters can be overburdened as well.
- 25:19It's something called older sister syndrome, and I guess social media is finally starting
- 25:23to acknowledge it. I can see that that makes perfect sense. If you're
- 25:26an older sibling, you probably have had to help take care of younger siblings
- 25:33at some point. We only have two. Neither is a girl. But
- 25:37Jake definitely, being the older sibling, was helpful in a lot of ways.
- 25:42Not so much with domestic things, but he definitely helped out a lot
- 25:45with his brother, and he continues to do that. He's a good big
- 25:48brother. But this isn't a surprising poll at all or as far as the
- 25:53data concerning the overburden part of it. But interesting also to here that social
- 26:02media is only do we not have a big sister day? They have all
- 26:06the days we have a daughter day, and then we have two different Sun's
- 26:10Day, which is weird to me, and then of course all the different
- 26:15siblings days and all those. So we've just now gotten around to a big
- 26:18sister day. I guess maybe I don't know. That'll do it for this
- 26:22Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you
- 26:26for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning. This is the West
- 26:30Carrol Morning Show powered by Overhead Door Company of Columbus, the Holiday In Resort
