Gavin Newsome Had a Bad Day · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:08
Tuesday morning, fifth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for joining us.
0:13
Is it's Super Tuesday morning, fifth day of March. Sixteen states participating
0:22
in Super Tuesday, including Alabama. It's a big day. Is this the
0:29
day Nikki Haley bowls out? I don't know. Could this be the worst
0:34
day ever for Nicki Haley? Well, it'll be the worst day ever,
0:37
I think the inevitable day. Maybe there's a few ways we can look at
0:40
this. But first, before we talk about Nicki Haley and her potential bad
0:45
day today, we should talk about who had the worst day ever yesterday.
0:51
There's a few people that I think you could make a case for as having
0:57
the worst day ever yesterday. And of course, worst day ever is really
1:03
a bit of an exaggeration. I don't know that you could really say it's
1:06
the worst day ever. But it was a bad day for a few people
1:11
yesterday. And I think maybe two of the people, maybe three, I
1:18
don't know that one of them is really a candidate for having a worst day
1:23
ever yesterday. But let's talk about the fact that I would assume that California
1:30
Governor Gavin Newsom had a bad day yesterday. I think that it's safe to
1:38
say it wasn't good for him yesterday. Maybe it's a bad day yesterday for
1:47
Michelle Obama. I don't know really what the stat I don't believe when I
1:53
hear people say, ah, she's the one that's gonna swoop in and try
1:57
to steal away the nominee from Democrats at their convention. I don't know.
2:05
I mean, it's out there, it's possibility if she wants it, though
2:09
she had a bad day yesterday. Maybe the vice president had a bad day
2:15
yesterday. I don't know. Kamala Harris, is she really someone that might
2:22
end up being the Democrat nominee had things gone differently yesterday? I don't know.
2:30
I don't think so. I really just don't think that that was ever
2:36
really going to happen, because she didn't have a good showing when she was
2:38
actually running for president and she was the first one out. She had a
2:46
bad day back then. I don't know that it was a bad day for
2:49
her yesterday. But maybe maybe I think Gavin Newsom maybe saw his hopes and
2:55
dream shattered yesterday at the very least right and just kind of the way things
3:01
went. Yesterday, the Supreme Court unanimously made a decision that states could not
3:12
disqualify a candidate in the primaries take them off the ballot because of a very
3:20
flimsy argument trying to say that the Fourteenth Amendment was the case. This,
3:23
of course, was the Supreme Court hearing this case overruling something from the Colorado
3:30
Supreme Court. Nine zero. The Supreme Court, Yes, the conservative justices,
3:39
yes, the liberal justices all found in favor of Donald Trump. Ultimately,
3:49
they found in favor of our democracy, component of our democratic republic.
3:57
They found in favor of the American people being the one who gets to decide
4:02
whether or not Donald Trump should be president again. They found in favor of
4:09
Republicans getting to be the people who decide who they will nominate to represent them
4:19
in the November election. Those are all of the people who won yesterday.
4:25
The people who lost were the ones just waiting for Trump to be kicked off
4:29
some ballots and states and not have an opportunity to be the candidate in November.
4:35
And had that happened, we'd probably be looking at you know, Republicans
4:41
have been forced to pick someone else, and that probably would have opened the
4:44
door for Gavin Newsom, or maybe Michelle Obama, maybe Kamala Harris. I
4:49
don't know what an interesting race it could have been, Kamala Harris versus Nicky
4:56
Haley. That could have been interesting. I don't think that's how it would
4:59
have played o out. I think Nikki Haley would have absolutely cleaned Kamala Harris's
5:02
clock. It would have been ugly. It looks like if Nicki Haley was
5:08
the candidate, she would also absolutely destroy Joe Biden in the race. I
5:13
don't know where things would go with Gavin Newsom. I don't think most of
5:17
America feels like the governor of California with all of the problems. There talks
5:24
of another recall in California, and I just don't think they want him.
5:31
Could the Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis race of materialize that we thought, man,
5:38
there was a chance of that a while back when they set up their
5:42
debate. Maybe they're wishful thinking debate. I don't know. I don't know
5:47
how this all plays out for those people. I know how it played out
5:51
for them yesterday. It's not going to happen now, is it? Possible
5:57
that Joe Biden will eventually not be the nominee. I guess. I mean,
6:01
I think right now Trump has a The latest polling shows Trump with a
6:05
pretty significant lead. It's still kind of within the margin of error, but
6:10
it's a good lead. It's similar to the lead that was projected before the
6:16
election last time. And now that a few states have cleaned things up and
6:23
we don't have a pandemic in progress, I think it's going to be harder
6:26
to bridge that gap. I'll reference again. We learned that there were,
6:32
you know, twenty one twenty two percent of people admitted to some sort of
6:38
voter fraud, according to polling Heartland Institute. Rasmussen Reports did a study and
6:46
found that about twenty two percent of people it participated admitted that they committed some
6:51
sort of voter fraud. So has that been cleaned up? I know it's
6:58
been cleaned up in some states. I know it's cleaned up here in Georgia
7:02
certainly been made much more difficult to file something on someone else's behalf. It's
7:09
been more difficult for someone to cast a ballot for someone who doesn't live in
7:14
Georgia. I know people who don't live in Georgia who had ballots cast on
7:17
their behalf. Yeah, haven't lived in Georgia for years, and they had
7:23
ballots cast on their behalf. I know people that experience that. So that's
7:29
been cleaned up some. And it's always interesting when some of those ballots that
7:34
the names of people who haven't voted in years, they get taken off because
7:38
they're not voting, they're not participating. They clean it up to make the
7:41
system easier so that you can verify who's actually voting and who's not. It's
7:46
always possible to register again to vote. It's not like or just participate.
7:53
Don't go vote for Barack Obama once in two thousand and eight and then say
7:57
I'm done. I did my part. Our guy got it there. I'm
8:00
done, and then never vote again, and then just kind of hang out
8:05
on those ballots and wait on someone to say, hey, well, grill
8:09
some hamburgers and you can come and hang out and vote. If you come,
8:13
get some free food and you can vote. Can't do that in Georgia
8:18
anymore, but it was happening. Get on the bus. We'll give you
8:20
pizza, we'll drive you around, we'll give you soft drinks and pizza to
8:26
go vote and you can come, bring your family, you get out,
8:30
you vote, we'll send you back home, We'll give you a bus ride
8:31
back home, whatever we got to do. Can't do that anymore. And
8:37
as much as Curb Your Enthusiasm wants to call it the uh what do they
8:41
say on this week's episode and I'll watch, I'm still watching. I'm so
8:45
close to the end of all of it. The Seinfeld fan in me wants
8:48
to finish it, but I'm so tired of hearing all of the It's a
8:52
very clever way that they do it. We talked about this a couple of
8:56
weeks ago that it's very clever. It's a fictional universe. Everything in their
9:01
universe is fictional. They're giving commentary about something like their version in their universe
9:09
of laws in Georgia. They don't have to actually they're not a news outlet.
9:15
They're using satire to convince people of how bad the law is in Georgia
9:20
without really representing the law in its true spirit. And then they called it
9:24
the most unconstitutional law ever on the show. They found a way to work
9:30
that in so that can kind of help get people more and more outraged,
9:35
more offended more outraged by it. But back to yesterday, the Supreme Court
9:41
did the right thing. Why are we all surprised this is the way it's
9:46
supposed to work. I guess maybe the surprise comes from the fact that we
9:52
have had so many cases of vitriol towards one another. There are so many
10:00
instances where people just can't come together and get along, and someone for once
10:07
decided, hey, let's get this Supreme Court all working together. However they
10:11
did it, They just looked at the law and decided that this is a
10:13
ridiculous case to begin with, didn't apply, didn't fit with the fourteenth Amendment.
10:20
Trump hasn't been convicted of anything to do with insurrections, so why would
10:24
this apply to him. It's pretty basic. It's not overly difficult to just
10:30
look at it, read it, and go did this happen? Did this
10:33
happen? I talking to a friend a few days ago, and the question
10:39
was, I said, you know, it's kind of they're trying to just
10:41
get Trump. Whatever they can do. This is going to be the way
10:45
they try to get rid of him. And they asked me, but did
10:48
he break the law? Oh, we got some court cases that eventually have
10:54
to decide some things. They said, they got him on this weird technicality
10:58
in New York, this weird real estate technicality on something that everybody there does,
11:05
and a number of people are ready to pull out of New York and
11:07
stop doing business there was real estate because a lot of them would be found
11:11
guilty of the same thing. The other things, I mean their reaches,
11:18
but we know that they reach. They liked to reach. They tried to
11:20
reach for the two impeachments, didn't they big reaches, big swings, See
11:24
what they can do. Just take a shot, and they took a shot
11:28
with this. If you want to suppress votes, if you want to interfere
11:33
in an election, then that's what they did. They tried to tamper with
11:37
the twenty twenty four election. They did their best, I guess, I
11:41
mean it was weak, but they tried. They tried to use judges that
11:48
were strategically put in place to do and they're still doing it. They tried
11:54
to use very eager and ambitious district attorneys. That's what they want to do.
12:01
They want to come in and say, hey, we're going to yet
12:03
secretaries of state in places, secretary of state in Colorado, by the way,
12:07
still thinks that democracy is at stake because Trump is still going to be
12:13
on the ballot. They've laid it all out for us. We talked about
12:16
this yesterday. They laid it all out for us. This was the strategy.
12:20
Wasn't about beating Trump. It was about keeping Trump from having an opportunity
12:24
to win. Now they're all saying it, I guess we're going to have
12:28
to beat them in November. We have to find a way to win in
12:33
November. And one of the ways they're going to do it is they're going
12:35
to put all of the focus on abortion. They're going to put all the
12:41
eggs in that basket. I've used that joke before, and I'll use it
12:43
all the way till November. But that's it. That's what they want.
12:46
They want this to come down to abortion. As they're looking at France.
12:50
France making it constitutional rights to abortion, but they got different restrictions on abortion
12:58
than we do. We could have we could have actually beaten France to the
13:01
punch if Democrats were willing to sit down and discuss whatever the compromise might be
13:07
right now for abortion. Democrats don't want to do that. They want this
13:13
to be the issue come November. They want abortion to be on the ballot,
13:18
and they want people to feel like, well, maybe economy stinks.
13:24
Maybe inflation is still ridiculous, but it's not going up as much as it
13:28
was going up. Maybe fuel prices are still high. Maybe it's causing the
13:35
price of everything to be high. Maybe we're all still struggling post COVID four
13:41
years later, that's over. Someone said yesterday, four years ago, this
13:46
week was the last normal week before it all went nuts, and we talked
13:52
about it some yesterday. I didn't know exactly, but I guess this was
13:54
the week that led into where it all hit the fan. So we haven't
14:00
fully recovered from that, and we haven't had a White House that's been trying
14:03
to help us recover from that. We just haven't had it. They're not
14:05
looking out for basically the middle class. They're not looking out for the upper
14:11
lower class. They're not looking out for anybody. They're just trying to do
14:18
what they want to do while they have a chance to do it, and
14:20
time seems to be running out for them. And the strategy was, we'll
14:24
keep him off the ballot, We'll keep him from being able to run and
14:28
then we'll make sure that our person gets to win. If we can get
14:31
him off the ballot, we can circumvent the whole process because Republicans won't get
14:37
their candidate and they'll have to pick someone on their own without letting other Republicans
14:43
decide who it is. And then we can do the same thing, and
14:46
then we'll have effectively had some influence on both of the candidates that are running.
14:52
Looks like that's not going to be the case now thanks to the Supreme
14:56
Court. And why is it that when the Supreme Court does something unanimously that
15:00
it should have done, it should have been clear that that's what they were
15:03
going to do. But you had, you know, a number of people
15:05
on the left, which owns a lot of the TV networks, and you
15:11
got people trying to convince you, oh, oh, Supreme Court is going
15:16
to rule the other way. They thought it was going to be so close,
15:20
and they tried to convince people it's going to be so close that they
15:24
were trying to get Clarence Thomas to recuse himself because they said, oh,
15:26
his wife is all in this corruption. She's in this January sixth stuff.
15:31
She's such a trumper. We got to get him to step out, and
15:35
that was going to be enough. Maybe that would be enough to make the
15:37
difference. Nine oh and still they attacked Clarence Thomas yesterday on X went after
15:45
him. Why everybody else did? All the liberal justices did the right thing.
15:52
They voted the way that everyone knew that this should have gone. Anybody
15:54
who pays any of it, and I mean, I'm not a legal expert
16:02
not by it, but I can read it. I can read what the
16:04
loss, I can read what the fourteenth Amendment says. I can try to
16:10
understand their case a little bit. It was nothing. Are we all nervous
16:14
that they were going to come in and squash our opportunity to cast votes for
16:17
who we want to vote for. Certainly they've done it before. They've absolutely
16:23
canceled out people's votes. They canceled out people's votes when those people voted in
16:29
I don't know, Florida and then found out that they also voted in Georgia,
16:33
when they never cast a ballot in Georgia and it wasn't for the same
16:37
candidate they voted for in Florida. I know people that have had that happen.
16:41
I know people that have had that happened four years ago, so yeah,
16:47
it wouldn't have been a shock. It is sad that we're surprised that
16:52
the Supreme Court did the right thing. We're surprised that it went the way
16:56
it was supposed to go. That's sad to me. Isn't that sad?
17:02
Isn't that disappointing that that's who we are, that's where we're at. It
17:06
was nice to see some unity in America though. It was nice for some
17:11
sense of the Supreme Court did the right thing, and ultimately it seems at
17:18
least that the American people are going to get to decide who the candidates will
17:23
be and who ultimately will be president next year. Today's show brought to you
17:27
by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth
17:34
and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
17:41
mean, they do it for school age kids, as school age kids visit
17:45
the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university
17:48
programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
17:56
space and STEM fields are booming right now and you can learn more about maybe
18:02
getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also
18:08
check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they
18:15
do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the
18:19
Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's
18:25
one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you
18:27
think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is
18:32
a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the
18:38
Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
18:44
Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next
18:48
Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
18:52
at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city
18:57
lights. You don't want any light interface parents, and you can do that
19:00
as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot
19:07
org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org I just
19:11
remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org.
19:18
Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of
19:22
your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that
19:30
it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
19:34
that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can
19:40
take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
19:42
can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
19:47
make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want
19:52
it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
19:55
Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making any when
20:00
your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that
20:03
you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's
20:08
inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:14
door to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use
20:17
your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor. You know,
20:22
if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
20:25
just want a little man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the
20:27
door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for
20:32
you as well, And again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
20:34
than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
20:40
won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as
20:44
well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five
20:48
eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
20:53
after the break, a new survey says that people find money as tough to
21:07
talk about as sex. The survey found forty one percent of guys reluctant to
21:14
talk about money because they consider it private. And it makes sense. I
21:19
mean, I know there's some people who don't mind talking about either. I've
21:25
encountered them a lot. Yeah, but sometimes people will just find out to
21:29
ask you a question that's a little too personal, that's a little bit too
21:34
invasive. I guess in both of those topics, and I think that In
21:38
many cases, people have become very self conscious about the money that they make,
21:45
and sex I think has always kind of been off limits. I mean,
21:48
you're crossing lines when you start asking personal questions. But I've known people
21:51
who ask personal questions in both, and needless to say, I'm not comfortable
21:56
talking about either with most people. There's a lot of things that I think
21:59
are personal topics. But you know, last week, the Philadelphia Phillies announced
22:04
that they're canceling Dollar Dog Night for the upcoming season. They say it's because
22:10
last season, fans and this is Philadelphia, God love them, we're throwing
22:17
discounted hot dogs around in the stands and out onto the field, and it
22:19
was a security and safety problem. So they said, we're having to cancel
22:25
it. We're not going to do it for the upcoming season. So Phillies
22:30
fans have started a petition to bring back Dollar Dog Night. The petition describing
22:37
the event as not only an affordable treat, but also a symbol of our
22:42
community spirit. Organizers are hoping to get twenty five thousand signatures on their way.
22:48
Well on their way. They've passed the fifteen thousand mark pretty quickly in
22:52
all of it, so yeah. I mean, let's just be honest and
22:56
be real here for a minute. The fans of Philadelphia sports teams, you
23:02
know, once through snowballs, it's Santa Claus. They've thrown all sorts of
23:07
things at opposing teams in various sports. So yeah, I think throwing wieners
23:11
on the field is probably a symbol of community spirit. I mean, it's
23:15
something that they that they do. Full disclosure, I'm a New York Giants
23:19
fan, so you know it's fun for me to take shots I guess at
23:26
the Eagles fans. But anyway, just given that as a disclosure in case
23:29
I haven't established that before. So how about this. Just about every woman
23:34
you know has a spot for red lipstick. That's kind of a thing for
23:38
most women or many women. Well, apparently this has been around for four
23:44
thousand years. Archaeologists have discovered in a recent dig in the Middle East and
23:49
dug up a small cylindrical vial made of stone. They contained a substance that
23:55
was very similar to what we now would call lipstick. The ancient may was
24:00
made of a plant based wax intended with a variety of natural dyes that added
24:03
up to a classic red women didn't just use the cosmetics for day to day,
24:07
where they were even buried with them, indicating that they believed that they
24:12
would be useful I guess along with their lips in the afterlife. So there
24:21
you go. America's favorite breakfast cereal has been established, at least according to
24:29
a study, and it's something that some people eat every day. Some people.
24:33
If you're like my wife, sheets raisin bran every single day. That's
24:37
what she does. That's her breakfast every day. Even when we have like
24:41
a pancake breakfast, pancake and egg, She's going to eat some raisin bran
24:47
at some point during her morning. It's just part of her routine. I'm
24:51
a grits guy because they're really you know, and I don't mind the microwave
24:55
grits because they're quick and easy, and I've eaten them at my desk many
24:59
many times over the years. But I will occasionally have a bowl of whatever
25:03
type of cereal, and I like to rotate. I don't tend to eat
25:06
the same cold cereal every day. But that's me. I don't know what
25:10
your routine is. But an e commerce platform called pattern analyzed Amazon data from
25:15
the past year to see which cereals were the most popular, and according to
25:18
their research, they say cheerios is number one. That doesn't really surprise me.
25:26
They've got cream of wheat. I liked it as a hot cereal represented
25:29
in there, but cream of wheat in there at number two, Honey,
25:32
bunches of oats, Lucky Charms, frosted Flakes, cinnamon toast crunch, corn
25:36
Flakes, raisin bran, rice, crispies in Life around out the top ten.
25:40
Now, if this is data coming from Amazon, that might be something
25:44
to just pay attention to that it indicates I don't know if it's cream of
25:49
wheat being so high on the list that seems an oatmeal is nowhere on the
25:53

Rachel says she was inside her Stubenville, Ohio home, which she heard gunshots
26:22
