The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday Morning, twenty fourth
0:10
day of October. Hi, I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me. Kicking
0:15
off of Tuesday Morning together and a little bit closer to Halloween now officially a
0:22
week away. Have you decided what the kids are gonna do for Halloween?
0:28
If you've sorted all that out, what you're gonna do. Are you gonna
0:32
have a costume or are you gonna be hosting trigger treaters at your home?
0:36
People have asked questions what's going on with trigger treating in the area in the
0:40
Chattooche Valley For the most part, Yeah, their plan is to do it
0:43
on Halloween. There's no reason to do it on a different day. I
0:46
know some people kind of don't think there's a reason to do it on a
0:50
different day, even on Sunday night. But sometimes they do move it just
0:54
Saturday. If it's gonna be on Sunday. I think they've moved it Saturday
0:57
from a Monday before. I don't really know. I don't know there's a
1:03
precedent for doing it on a Tuesday. But the plan is to go with
1:07
normal trigg or treating hours on a normal trick or treating a day. I
1:14
mean, that's the plan. That's what they're going to do, and that's
1:15
that's you know, for the most part, that's the game plan. And
1:19
you don't have to make any kind of special considerations. You don't have to
1:23
plan anything else, anything any differently. You just that's what you do.
1:27
You know, you just do the normal thing. It's easy. And if
1:32
your kids are going to be remember all the precautionary things, you know,
1:36
make sure they got something some kind of light, something reflective, make sure
1:41
that they're not wearing a mask that prevents them from seeing. If they've got
1:44
a cross streets, you know, have someone with them to supervise. Check
1:47
candy all that good stuff, and a lot of the check candy stuff turned
1:52
out to just be kind of urban myth, right. I know, there
1:55
were some instances of it. There was just an instance not long ago somewhere
1:59
where someone found on razor blades on a slide. Again, at least that
2:04
was the report, and again I saw it on a news site. I
2:07
assume it's accurate. At this point, they were able to take care of
2:10
it, and I think it happened once before, and it sounds like some
2:15
I don't know, kids with nothing better to do trying to hurt somebody or
2:19
trying to you know, think that they're being funny or whatever it is.
2:22
I don't know. I don't know why would what would possess someone. There's
2:24
a lot of things I don't know what would possess people to do. So
2:29
just you know, plan a safe Halloween a week from now, and we'll
2:32
talk more Halloween stuff as we get closer and closer to the actual day,
2:38
as we get to work our way towards Halloween. A couple of things that
2:43
I want to talk about, because I've got just a few topics I want
2:50
to First of all, I'll just quickly do this one because the other one
2:53
I think is probably more important. But keep in mind that we've had a
3:01
number of celebrities in some capacity, whether they're talk show hosts or comedians or
3:08
whatever, that have set musicians that have said things that make people jump to
3:15
them and they say, oh my gosh, this person is conservative. Now.
3:21
Bill Maher said something that sounds kind of conservative. He must now be
3:27
a conservative now, so I support him now or whatever, And people just
3:31
and they forget that, No, that's not what's going on. And by
3:36
just blindly swinging loyalty behind people, you're not necessarily going to be supporting who
3:44
you think you're supporting. Okay, that's the first aspect of all of this.
3:51
The other part of it is sometimes what you hear may not even be
3:54
what they actually said or what the intention of what they said was. You
3:58
hear like bits of it, your piece of it, and you don't really
4:00
know if you're even getting the full So I can speak a little bit to
4:04
one person in particular, and there's been some instances where Dave Chappelle has said
4:11
things that have upset some folks on the left, and it's called some people
4:15
on the right to go right on. He's saying the right thing. There,
4:18
just a friendly reminder, and that's all that I'm trying to stress.
4:23
Here is a friendly reminder that it's possible for Bill Maher or Dave Chappelle things
4:30
falling off my desk here to say things that makes sense every now and then,
4:35
but not necessarily be make them having changed teams, they're not necessarily going
4:42
to be someone who is a full scale conservative. They're not changing how they
4:46
vote they're just making a point about whatever the particular topic is. And we've
4:51
talked about the things that Dave Chappelle has said a few times. He's gotten
4:56
in trouble multiple times for comments that he's made specifically about the trans community or
5:02
their LGBT plus community, and they've gotten upset. They don't like what he
5:06
said, they don't like the context of what he said, all those sorts
5:10
of things, and you know, ultimately, you listen to what he says,
5:15
you listen the context of what he says, and yes, he's saying
5:18
it to be funny, but he's trying to make a point, as comedians
5:24
sometimes do. But it doesn't necessarily mean the guy is voting the same way
5:30
that you vote. That's not what it means. Bill Maher has made the
5:32
same kind of point Elon Musk made, is that nothing about his politics really
5:36
changed. Elon Musk, they may have changed by this point, being pushed
5:42
kind of to the right, but he's made the point that it's not so
5:45
much that he is changed his politics in any way. It's just the nature
5:51
of what being a liberal is now has changed. It's moved much more drastically
5:59
to the left, which leaves him closer to the right. The right is
6:02
sliding in that direction. So he just basically had said, this is Bill
6:06
Maher, I'm talking about. Elon Musk referenced this something on the platform formerly
6:13
known as Twitter when it was still known as Twitter. He's it's got a
6:15
different name now but x but back then it was still Twitter, and he
6:20
referenced that at some point then. But it doesn't necessarily mean these people are
6:26
or you know, in tow in line with whatever it is that you believe.
6:30
And Dave Chappelle upset an audience full of people when he was referencing things
6:33
about the attack on Israel and then what he called a disproportionate attack back on
6:43
the Gaza Strip, and he basically said that you know that they should be
6:47
there should be war crimes for what they've done, and that the US was,
6:53
you know, funding it and supporting it and helping it happen. Well,
6:57
it caused some audience members to shout out at him. He shouted back,
7:00
apparently at one of them, and then some people got up and walked
7:01
out of the audience. So just a reminder, and I don't know the
7:08
full call. I haven't seen any of the clip. I don't know if
7:11
there is a clip. I know he likes to take phones away from audience
7:14
members when they attend his shows. He had one famously where I guess they
7:16
locked up all the phones, And I think he's one of those comics that
7:21
likes to He doesn't like people getting what the message is out of context from
7:26
the show and sharing it with everyone. Doesn't mean someone can't I guess sneak
7:30
a phone in. I don't know, but I haven't seen specifically what was
7:33
said. I'm just pointing out the fact that he has opinions. He has
7:38
different opinions on different things, and it doesn't mean because he says something basically
7:44
putting into perspective that he sees about a certain thing that maybe conservatives agree with,
7:49
it doesn't make him a conservative. Doesn't make Bill Maher a conservative.
7:54
It doesn't make Bill Maher anything other than Bill Maher saying things to get attention.
7:59
That's what they do. They say things to get attention. So just
8:01
a quick reminder on that particular topic, because that's a reality check that we
8:07
need to remember from time to time. And you know, the polling certainly
8:13
indicates that most Americans are fully on board. Overwhelming support eighty four percent from
8:20
a Harvard A CAP's Harris poll found eighty four percent of respondence sided with Israel,
8:24
sixteen percent sided with the Hamas militants. Now, keep in mind,
8:30
this is that complicated issue where you have Hamas militants, you have terrorists,
8:35
and then you have Palestinians who truly don't want harm and they don't want fighting
8:43
and they don't want war. So understand they're specifically referencing the difference between Hamas
8:50
and you know, Israel. Older Americans aged sixty five and up, ninety
8:56
five percent support Israel, five percent support Hamas. When you get into the
9:01
category of Americans eighteen to twenty four, a slight majority fifty one percent of
9:05
Americans said that the terror attack by Hamas on Israel could be justified by the
9:11
grievances of Palestinians fifty one percent. Forty nine percent disagreed that it could be
9:18
justified. That's a terrifying stat It gives us a little perspective on what the
9:22
future is, doesn't It gives us some light on why there's protests that are
9:28
happening at the universities. I know University of Georgia is one that had had
9:35
a had protests. Also from the poll, fifty six percent of Americans disapprove
9:43
of the president's handling of the war between Israel and Hamas, Forty four percent
9:48
approved of the handling of it, and seventy six percent said that the US
9:54
should send humanitarian aid to Israel. Forty eight percent said that they should send
9:58
weapons. Biden's address to the nation about the Israeli conflict, American leadership is
10:05
what holds the world together. America's alliances or what keep us safe. American
10:09
values are what make us a partner that the other nations want to work with,
10:13
and put all that at risk we walk away from Ukraine and turn her
10:18
backs on Israel. It's just not worth it if we walked away from them
10:20
anyway, all right. So there you go. Dave Schapelle run in his
10:26
mouth about something and upsetting people. It's something that he does. It's something
10:30
that gets him attention. It's nothing new, and it's there, all right.
10:35
Other thing I want to talk about, and it just relates to something
10:39
I've been talking about here since the well. I talked about it before when
10:41
we had the McCarthy issue with him trying to be a speaker of the House
10:50
seem pretty clear, I think when they went through all those votes and it
10:54
was a giant fiasco, and by the end of it, when McCarthy won,
10:58
and they put all these things in saying, hey, if we decide
11:01
at some point we need to get rid of McCarthy, we're going to do
11:03
it, and Gates and others, and ultimately that's what it came down to.
11:07
It was pretty clear then they were going to pull this. This was
11:09
going to happen at some point. And I have the same frustrations I think
11:16
that most Americans have about this situation. I don't think it's good for the
11:20
country for people to be for the party in power to have so much conflict
11:28
when it comes to electing a leader in that particular role. But I have
11:35
said and I still stand by this particular statement. I think it's refreshing that
11:39
Republicans do have differences of opinion on a number of things. Democrats, it
11:46
seems to be very few things. They seem to be very in line when
11:50
it comes to so many issues. Most Democrats. Right now, you're not
11:56
hearing a lot about abortion, because that is going to be the big push
12:00
next year. That is going to be everything for the election in twenty twenty
12:03
four, it's going to be as much about abortion as they can make it.
12:07
They believe that is a big part of how they're going to win,
12:11
and they believe that that is going to be this central issue that is going
12:15
to help them win back enough states to take the House. That's what they
12:18
believe, and they think it might be enough to get Joe Biden reelected.
12:24
They have said indicated that this is the case in interviews. The Vice President
12:31
Harris talking in an interview with CBS and I talked about this when it happened,
12:37
but was asked, what is the compromise that you see on the issue
12:41
of abortion, What is the compromise that you see that is realistic? How
12:45
many weeks? And she just wouldn't answer. We're not going to stop until
12:48
Roe v. Way's low Land again. That was the answer, over and
12:52
over and over again. And the interviewer kept asking, you know, Republicans
12:56
seem to be willing now to come up with across the board national law.
13:01
Let's work it out, and she just wouldn't answer, and she finally just
13:05
said, we need people to register to vote. We need people to vote
13:07
Democrats so that we can get the right people in place, and we can
13:09
get Roe v. Wade law of the land again in the country. There's
13:15
no compromise. There's no discussion of compromise. It's very much a we're going
13:18
to make this the issue that we're going to talk about. And that seems
13:24
to be the case with Democrats, and they're good at sticking together with the
13:30
issue that they they're fighting for, and they stay in line. They understand
13:33
you're not going to see a lot of them. There's a few, but
13:35
there's not a lot of them that step out of line. You got the
13:39
occasional rebels, you got the mansions or the cinemas that will step out of
13:41
line and not fall Well, Cinema's not there anymore. But although she still
13:46
votes with them, she still caucuses with them. But Republicans don't typically do
13:52
that. And I have said, I think it's a bit refreshing when you
13:58
do have some different opinions in there. But the that we run into and
14:01
I just wanted to address this because I wanted to be clear. A couple
14:03
people ask me, like, you, so you think it's a good thing.
14:05
I don't think it's a good thing that they can't get a leader in
14:07
place, I don't. I do think it's good that they're having discussions.
14:13
I don't know what the discussions are at this point, but I do know
14:18
that it is important that they get a leader in place, and I do
14:22
think it's understandable that people are frustrated that they're not able to do that.
14:26
And I also think they're wasting a lot of time. They're wasting a lot
14:31
of time that could be used to actually do some things. And the longer
14:35
that they stretch this out and that they don't do anything productive with their time
14:39
leading up to next year, leading up to any opportunity for Democrats to take
14:46
the house away from them, it's all wasted time. I mean, they're
14:48
ultimately just taking a knee as a strategy, to use a football analogy,
14:54
They're just taking a knee. They're just eating up the clock right now every
14:56
single time they vote, and they don't do the right thing by actually getting
15:01
a leader in place. So I do believe that. I do. I
15:05
think it's refreshing that Democrats, for the most part, are the party that
15:11
follows in line, does whatever they're supposed to do without giving anybody any variation
15:16
of opinion unless it's something like you know, lying about what happened to the
15:20
hospital in Gaza where democrat I mean where Republicans are at the actual party,
15:26
where there's some varying opinions on things. I think that part is refreshing for
15:30
Republicans. But they do need leadership. They do need to get something in
15:33
place so that they can start conducting business again because they are wasting valuable time.
15:39
Today show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center
15:43
Inspiring and educating the youth in future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really
15:52
of all ages. I mean they do it for school age kids as school
15:56
age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
16:00
through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and
16:07
the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you can
16:11
learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While
16:21
you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
16:25
incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University
16:30
called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get
16:36
anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
16:40
Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I
16:42
mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus.
16:49
Inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of
16:55
Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
17:00
check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside.
17:04
Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get
17:07
outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and
17:12
you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website,
17:17
it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot
17:22
org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
17:29
CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
17:34
For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you
17:40
have regular maintenance that it's time for it's always good to get maintenance on anything
17:45
that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
17:51
of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're
17:55
there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
17:59
you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite
18:03
what you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the
18:07
outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's
18:11
making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
18:15
of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff
18:21
gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like
18:25
to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down
18:29
and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
18:34
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
18:37
or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to
18:40
open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do
18:44
that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
18:47
nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
18:52
garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do
18:56
those as well. Seven oh six ory five eight forty five hundred six three

five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
19:07
after the break. Okay, so we've all heard about the dangers of AI.
19:18
We know that there are some benefits, right I mean, if you're
19:25
using it to utilize it in certain work capacities. I'm not talking about students.
19:30
We know there shouldn't be using it and getting around things. That's not
19:34
what I'm talking about. I'm talking about in the workplace. There have been
19:37
some instances where you can use AI to maybe write a letter. You need
19:42
to correspond with someone, write them a thank you letter. AI can take
19:47
care of that for you. Did you know that you can? And ultimately
19:52
is it any different than having someone at a card company write the contents of
19:56
the card for you? Right? Well. AI is also working on diagnosing
20:00
illnesses. A study found an AI program that was able to diagnose diabetes in
20:07
between eighty six and eighty nine percent of patients by simply listening to them speak
20:12
for ten seconds. Researchers had patients record I'm sorry. Researchers had patients record
20:22
phases. I was thinking. Patient records record phrases on their smartphones six times
20:26
a day for two weeks and found that the signal processing technologies were able to
20:32
perceive notes of vocal pitch that do not register within the human ear, and
20:37
they were able to diagnose if you had diabetes or not. How about that?
20:44
I wonder if there's any sort of qualifiers that go with this. Professional
20:48
talkers, people who talk all the time, would it be able to tell
20:52
with them? Do we talk differently than other people? I don't know.
20:56
I mean, that's just my question. And I'm not just talking about professional
21:00
broadcasters or any I'm talking you know, people who are on the phone all
21:03
day. There's jobs that do that require you to be on the phone a
21:07
lot. Cheetos is expanding its rain as one of the greatest snack foods on
21:12
the planet, now offering Cheetos Pretzels available in two varieties, Cheetos Pretzels cheddar
21:21
and Cheetos Pretzels Flame and Hot. Both are now available in stores. Hey,
21:26
if you like the Big Max sauce, and we know kind of what
21:30
it is now. It used to be a big secret for the Big Mac
21:32
sauce, and it's just kind of a type of Thousand Island dressing, right.
21:37
Well, apparently you don't have to try to tweak your Thousand Island dressing
21:41
to make it taste more like Big Mac sauce, because apparently, according to
21:45
the folks on social media, Great Values Secret Sauce sold at Walmart is apparently
21:52
pretty darn close to the Big Mac sauce straight from McDonald. So keep that
21:59
in mind. If you're a fan of the Big Mac sauce, maybe you
22:02
want to make your own Big Mac at the house. And you're like,
22:03
I got everything. I got to the two all beef patties, now you
22:10
got the special sauce, pickles, onions, lettuce, pickles onions on assessame
22:15
seed? But is that I don't know that Maybe I got it all there?
22:19
All right, So we know that the Writer's Guild and the Screen Actors
22:23
Guild were in the middle of that strike that was going on. The writers,
22:26
I guess worked things out. That was the report, and everybody went,
22:29
oh, thank goodness, it's over, but not so fast. The
22:33
Screen Actors Guild is still having some issues and it's going to affect Halloween for
22:40
members of the Screen Actors Guild. Members of SAG after are being told not
22:48
to wear costumes that relate to struck work. The union issued a set of
22:53
roles for Striking Actors regarding allowin costumes what they are not allowed to wear this
22:59
year so that they don't promote studio content without a fair contract. And this
23:07
could be pretty significant because the major costumes expected for this year certainly fall into
23:18
this category, like Barbie and ken Yep from the Barbie movie Wednesday Adams also
23:26
popular and from Netflix's Wednesday show eleven or Vekna from Stranger Things also on Netflix.
23:36
Any superhero characters from Warner Brothers or Disney Marvel, Harry Potter characters also
23:45
from Warner Brothers, Star Wars characters yeah, back to Disney lucasfilm. Any
23:49
Game of Thrones characters from HBO which goes back to the Warner Brothers Umbrella ten
23:56
Lasso and Roy Kent from Apple TV. So characters from the Bear they're talking
24:03
about Karmi or Sydney. I don't watch that show. I don't know anything
24:07
about those characters. I know who some of the actors are, I don't
24:10
know the characters. So that's kind of an interesting side note on it.
24:15
And I don't know that because this has come into play now around Halloween,
24:19
if they're in costume and there's no way for them to get caught, is
24:22
there a chance that they're just going to wear the costumes anyway and they can't
24:27
post it on social media. I wonder if this would also apply to when
24:32
they attend conventions, because you know, there are a lot of rules whenever
24:33
they attend conventions based on struck work, So I wonder whether or not that
24:38
could have any sort of an impact on that. I don't know. If
24:41
they're at a convention and they're dressed like Han solo walking around, that would
24:47
be bad, wouldn't it. And finally, United Airlines making some changes for
24:52
boarding and they're updating the boarding process. So here we go. They say
24:57
folks with window seats will get on ahead of those with middle and aisle seats.
25:03
Now, this doesn't change anything for first class, business class, military,
25:07
disabled, in other groups, they all still go first. Once though,
25:11
you get to the coach passengers that board window, and then middle aisle
25:15
seats will start boarding. And that way because if you get in and you've
25:22
got the aisle seat and someone comes in they got the middle seat or they've
25:29
got the window seat, you got to get up and let them in.
25:32
So this will speed that up because it'll be window, then middle, then
25:34
aisle. That's the way it's going to work. So if you've got an
25:37
aisle seat, you may not be able to get your bag in an overhead
25:41
compartment, or you may have to try to fit something under your feet,
25:45
but you're not going to be able to get it up there because you'll be
25:47
the last ones on. It's just an interesting way to do it, but
25:49
it does make sense as it relates to the actual boarding process. That'll do
25:56
it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
