- 0:00Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, nineteenth day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for
- 0:16Speaker 2: joining me. Well, they're home, the astronauts, or home Butch
- 0:24Speaker 2: and Sunny back on Earth, back in the US, and
- 0:32Speaker 2: they have made their way back with the rest of
- 0:35Speaker 2: a Crew nine as the Dragon splashdown yesterday evening. If
- 0:43Speaker 2: nothing else, we can stop this conversation about them being
- 0:48Speaker 2: stuck on the International Space Station. We can stop all
- 0:54Speaker 2: of that. They never really were ever stuck. But that's
- 1:01Speaker 2: been the play by the media, and it's been very
- 1:04Speaker 2: interesting to see the way that this is played out.
- 1:08Speaker 2: One side of media has played it for the clicks,
- 1:12Speaker 2: it's great clickbait, and another side of media, the conservative media,
- 1:19Speaker 2: has played up the Elon is a hero, Trump is
- 1:23Speaker 2: a hero side of it. So few things to digest.
- 1:27Speaker 2: And we've talked about this a lot on the Made
- 1:30Speaker 2: of Stars podcast over the past several weeks. Doctor Sean
- 1:33Speaker 2: Cruise and I that show. We do that every Thursday,
- 1:38Speaker 2: most Thursdays, we drop a new episode of Made of Stars.
- 1:41Speaker 2: We talk about everything in space and all the stuff
- 1:44Speaker 2: on Earth as it pertains to all the stuff in space,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and sometimes that involves talking about SpaceX and Elon Musk
- 1:51Speaker 2: and everyone involved in all this. And I know I've
- 1:54Speaker 2: talked about this a little bit here, but just for
- 1:56Speaker 2: the record and just so that we're all very clear
- 1:59Speaker 2: on this, because there was still still seemed to be
- 2:00Speaker 2: a lot of confusion about this as of yesterday. This
- 2:05Speaker 2: whole process of two astronauts that went to space on
- 2:10Speaker 2: a Boeing craft on their Starliner, their rocket launching the
- 2:16Speaker 2: star a craft into space, docked with the International Space Station,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and after a long series of doing tests on this thing,
- 2:28Speaker 2: they decided that they were going to send it back
- 2:31Speaker 2: home without the two astronauts, that it would be in
- 2:34Speaker 2: the best interest of everyone involved to keep them behind,
- 2:38Speaker 2: just to be cautious. So that's what they did. And
- 2:41Speaker 2: as it turns out, they could have been on that
- 2:44Speaker 2: craft and safely come back to Earth because the ship
- 2:48Speaker 2: made it back, but they stayed behind in the interest
- 2:53Speaker 2: of safety. That's one of the things that you do.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That's just what you do. You don't put their lives
- 2:59Speaker 2: at risk. You send it home, leave them behind. Because
- 3:04Speaker 2: there was a plan that was hatched to send up
- 3:09Speaker 2: the next crew dragon, which was Crew nine, and have
- 3:13Speaker 2: two of the astronauts that were set to be on
- 3:15Speaker 2: board not board the craft, and it would go up
- 3:18Speaker 2: with just two astronauts and have two empty seats, and
- 3:22Speaker 2: that effectively made Butch and Sonny the other two members
- 3:28Speaker 2: of Crew nine. It happens that way sometimes, it's just happened.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Frank Rubio as an astronaut who went up, there was
- 3:36Speaker 2: an issue with their ship that he went up with
- 3:39Speaker 2: the Russians and he ended up there without a ride
- 3:43Speaker 2: home for a while and now holds the record for
- 3:46Speaker 2: the longest time spending space in the International Space Station
- 3:51Speaker 2: as an American. So it's this isn't unprecedented. They ended
- 3:57Speaker 2: up sending up something to bring him home, and he
- 4:00Speaker 2: came home. That's just what happens. Now. There was some
- 4:04Speaker 2: conversation then that he was kind of stranded up there,
- 4:08Speaker 2: he was left on board. That was a little bit
- 4:10Speaker 2: more accurate than what was going on here. But the
- 4:14Speaker 2: clickbait of two astronauts who went up and their ship
- 4:18Speaker 2: came home, and they didn't initially have a designated ship
- 4:23Speaker 2: to come home, right, So when the Crew nine arrived,
- 4:27Speaker 2: they effectively have had a ride this entire time. It's
- 4:31Speaker 2: not like they were stuck and didn't have a means
- 4:33Speaker 2: of getting home. They were just there. Now we get
- 4:37Speaker 2: into an issue of semantics, and I know we covered this,
- 4:40Speaker 2: but as people were saying, well, they're stuck because they
- 4:42Speaker 2: didn't get to come home after eight days, they had
- 4:44Speaker 2: to be there this extended nine month period. All of that.
- 4:49Speaker 2: The reality though, is they had to ride the whole time.
- 4:51Speaker 2: They became part of the next crew. That's what you do.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Sometimes Crew ten went up and they had a handoff
- 4:58Speaker 2: of you guys, you know, they tag them in like
- 5:01Speaker 2: in wrestling. Crew tends there, Crew nine comes home. I
- 5:05Speaker 2: was still seeing messages that the Crew ten ship was
- 5:08Speaker 2: going up to bring them home. Their ride home had launched,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and that's not what happened. Now's some issues about whether
- 5:15Speaker 2: or not Elon Musk says. He says the Biden administration
- 5:18Speaker 2: wouldn't let him send a ship up just to get
- 5:21Speaker 2: them before the election. That's where this started to get
- 5:25Speaker 2: complicated because if that's the case and it was about politics,
- 5:30Speaker 2: that's what his accusation was. If that's not accurate and
- 5:35Speaker 2: that's not how it went down, it does make more
- 5:38Speaker 2: sense though, to make them part of the next crew.
- 5:42Speaker 2: So there's that. But there were still people using the
- 5:46Speaker 2: stuck terminology yesterday, probably some still using it today that
- 5:52Speaker 2: I haven't looked at any of those news sites, but
- 5:54Speaker 2: they're probably still saying, Hey, the stuck astronauts, the stranded
- 5:57Speaker 2: astronauts are back. So they are, they're back home. That's good,
- 6:02Speaker 2: happy ending. I'm disgusted at the thought that I'm sure
- 6:06Speaker 2: there were some of our friends on the i'll say
- 6:08Speaker 2: extreme far left, but some of our friends on the
- 6:11Speaker 2: left that were probably hoping this mission would go bad,
- 6:14Speaker 2: it would go south. I didn't hear that anywhere, but
- 6:20Speaker 2: I kind of feel like behind closed doors because they
- 6:22Speaker 2: were happy when the Falcon Heavy had its recent explosion
- 6:30Speaker 2: in the sky. And I think am I out of
- 6:33Speaker 2: line to say that there would be people on the
- 6:35Speaker 2: left that would have been happy to have that disaster
- 6:38Speaker 2: to celebrate and say, ha ha, look at Elon Musk,
- 6:41Speaker 2: what a failure. Hey, we got another celebrity that left
- 6:44Speaker 2: the country, Courtney Love. I don't know the last time
- 6:47Speaker 2: Courtney Love was relevant in any capacity. It's not like
- 6:50Speaker 2: I don't know that she's released any new music in
- 6:53Speaker 2: a long time. I met her once. It went exactly
- 6:57Speaker 2: like you probably expect. I don't know what her current
- 7:01Speaker 2: status is as far as her drinking and or doing drugs.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I can tell you this. When I met her, she
- 7:10Speaker 2: was on something. She was on something, that's all I
- 7:14Speaker 2: can tell you. She was fascinated with a porta potty.
- 7:19Speaker 2: We were standing there talking and she saw a porta
- 7:21Speaker 2: potty and mumbled something to me about it and then
- 7:25Speaker 2: proceeded to just touch the walls of the porta potty.
- 7:30Speaker 2: And it was exactly what I didn't disappoint. As far
- 7:36Speaker 2: as my time with Courtney Love, I think it was
- 7:42Speaker 2: about two hours away from her stripping completely naked in
- 7:45Speaker 2: front of a bunch of people. So at least I
- 7:47Speaker 2: missed out on all that. But she says she's I
- 7:52Speaker 2: guess she's there already. She's been in England and she
- 7:57Speaker 2: was going to live there. I think she wants to
- 7:58Speaker 2: live in London now. And my question, I think for
- 8:03Speaker 2: some of these people that say they're leaving because of
- 8:05Speaker 2: Trump and all that, they still have a house here.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You're keeping property, you're keeping an apartment, because if you
- 8:13Speaker 2: just kind of just go there and hang out for
- 8:15Speaker 2: four years, I don't know that really counts as moving. Really,
- 8:20Speaker 2: who moves? Who says I'm moving and gets a different
- 8:23Speaker 2: place to stay and then waits a little while and
- 8:26Speaker 2: then comes back to the original place. I mean, you
- 8:28Speaker 2: still had the place there, right anyway, Maybe she's renting
- 8:32Speaker 2: it out to a friend. All right. I want to
- 8:34Speaker 2: talk about Chuck Schumer on the View weird and I
- 8:42Speaker 2: mean we have these moments with the View where we
- 8:46Speaker 2: can sit there and say so many times you just
- 8:51Speaker 2: if you even dare to venture into it, you can't
- 8:56Speaker 2: help but roll your eyes. And this is one of those,
- 8:58Speaker 2: like really weird things that went down there. Chuck Schumer
- 9:02Speaker 2: got dressed down by some of the women of the View.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Of course, there's this split now. We've got a divide
- 9:10Speaker 2: now in the Democrat Party, which is interesting. I've talked
- 9:13Speaker 2: to you for years about the way they seem to
- 9:17Speaker 2: be so unified on so many things, and now here's
- 9:21Speaker 2: this split between we want to be extreme, far left,
- 9:27Speaker 2: but understanding that that's not going to win elections, and
- 9:31Speaker 2: that you have to find something just a little bit
- 9:34Speaker 2: more moderate. You're going to have to find something closer
- 9:37Speaker 2: to centrist if you have any hopes of getting the
- 9:40Speaker 2: party to a point where it's going to win again.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Republicans went through this. There have been candidates that were
- 9:47Speaker 2: much more far right, much more conservative. We have still
- 9:51Speaker 2: seen some of them recently. We have seen some recently
- 9:58Speaker 2: popping in these discussions about budgets and keeping the country
- 10:04Speaker 2: and the government funded. Some of these more conservative people
- 10:07Speaker 2: are not afraid to step into this mix and say
- 10:13Speaker 2: we want more cuts, we want less spending, this is
- 10:17Speaker 2: what we're about. And I think there's been like, although
- 10:24Speaker 2: people want to label Republicans and say it's all a
- 10:27Speaker 2: bunch of crazy alt right Republicans, which I don't know
- 10:32Speaker 2: that I'm hearing that term quite as much anymore. It's
- 10:35Speaker 2: still out there, I'm sure, but you know we're not.
- 10:38Speaker 2: We're not. And I've said this many times. We don't
- 10:40Speaker 2: talk about the extreme alt left liberals, the people who
- 10:46Speaker 2: hijack the party, the people that want the airplanes full
- 10:51Speaker 2: of criminals to turn around in mid air and bring
- 10:53Speaker 2: them back to America and not deport them. You know,
- 10:58Speaker 2: people who are in the country ill legally committing crimes,
- 11:01Speaker 2: known for committing crimes, wanted for crimes, that were deported,
- 11:07Speaker 2: put on an airplane, gotten in the sky, and then
- 11:10Speaker 2: suddenly one of the you know, the alt left judges
- 11:13Speaker 2: jumps in and says no, no, no, no, no, bring the
- 11:15Speaker 2: plane back. They weren't allowed to deport those guys. They
- 11:19Speaker 2: got rights, man, they got rights. Another thing, just quickly
- 11:26Speaker 2: before I get back to Schumer, I've seen a few
- 11:28Speaker 2: people complaining about I guess some of the ICE raids.
- 11:32Speaker 2: There's the occasional person who kind of gets caught up
- 11:35Speaker 2: in it. They're there where maybe there are a bunch
- 11:37Speaker 2: of people who are getting grabbed, and they get grabbed
- 11:40Speaker 2: and there's some confusion going on. That's awful, that's terrible
- 11:45Speaker 2: if you're an American citizen and you are in the
- 11:47Speaker 2: middle of all of this and you get caught up
- 11:49Speaker 2: in it. But that is that very those people. That
- 11:53Speaker 2: person in this example is the reason why obstructing ICE
- 12:00Speaker 2: and trying to give everyone a heads up when ICE
- 12:04Speaker 2: might be showing up is a problem, because if you're
- 12:08Speaker 2: trying to help the criminals, or you're trying to help
- 12:14Speaker 2: people who have come into the country illegally, and someone
- 12:19Speaker 2: who is supposed to be here gets caught up in it,
- 12:22Speaker 2: that becomes on you because or whoever whoever is obstructing
- 12:29Speaker 2: whoever is trying to run the smoke screen for the
- 12:34Speaker 2: people who aren't supposed to be here. Let them do
- 12:36Speaker 2: their job, help them do their job, and then those
- 12:38Speaker 2: other people w don't get caught up in it anyway.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer goes on the View and he basically starts talking,
- 12:45Speaker 2: and he really kind of lays out one of these
- 12:49Speaker 2: big differences between the right and the left, and this
- 12:56Speaker 2: attitude that democrats, many Democrats have about Republicans. And I
- 13:03Speaker 2: know some people who claim to be left of center
- 13:08Speaker 2: liberals or even centrists, and they repeat some of these
- 13:11Speaker 2: same kind of talking points people that I know. So
- 13:16Speaker 2: here's Chuck Schumer talking about basically some of these wealthy
- 13:22Speaker 2: business owners that aren't necessarily so willing to contribute as
- 13:30Speaker 2: much of their tax money as possible on the View.
- 13:32Speaker 2: He says, their attitude is, I made my money all
- 13:36Speaker 2: by myself. How dare your government take my money from me.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I don't want to pay taxes, or I built my
- 13:44Speaker 2: company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell
- 13:47Speaker 2: me how I should treat my customers, the land and
- 13:51Speaker 2: water that I own, or my employees. They hate government.
- 13:56Speaker 2: The government's a barrier to people a barrier to stop
- 14:00Speaker 2: them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We
- 14:03Speaker 2: are not letting them do it and are united. There's
- 14:08Speaker 2: so much to process there. So this is someone This
- 14:11Speaker 2: is his attitude about people who work hard, earn their money,
- 14:18Speaker 2: and want to keep their money. This shows you the
- 14:22Speaker 2: attitude by many on the left. They think that someone
- 14:25Speaker 2: who earns money shouldn't be allowed to keep their money.
- 14:29Speaker 2: I have friends who like to say, hey, you know
- 14:32Speaker 2: the these companies, these business owners, the Elon Musks of
- 14:37Speaker 2: the world. When people say he doesn't pay taxes or
- 14:41Speaker 2: he's not paying the same tax rate that everyone else is.
- 14:47Speaker 2: I don't have to sit here and tell you that
- 14:51Speaker 2: when Elon Musk's companies pay a tax rate that may
- 14:56Speaker 2: be a few percentage points less than everyone else because
- 15:00Speaker 2: some deal to keep his businesses in America or in
- 15:03Speaker 2: certain places, certain states where he can do business without
- 15:08Speaker 2: having to pay more taxes and instead use money to
- 15:12Speaker 2: go towards what his businesses due. So if he's paying
- 15:15Speaker 2: two percent less as a rate, then a person who
- 15:21Speaker 2: makes one hundred thousand dollars a year, he's still paying
- 15:28Speaker 2: a lot more money in taxes than the person who
- 15:32Speaker 2: makes one hundred thousand dollars a year, or the really
- 15:35Speaker 2: small business than only profits that much when you start
- 15:39Speaker 2: doing two percentage points less. But the amount of money
- 15:43Speaker 2: that you're applying this percentage to is billions, hundreds of
- 15:48Speaker 2: billions of dollars. He's paying a lot more in taxes, yeh,
- 15:52Speaker 2: but he should pay the same rate as everybody else.
- 15:55Speaker 2: See these are the talking points. This is the kind
- 15:58Speaker 2: of thing that that attitude comes from. I would I
- 16:02Speaker 2: if I know that Elon Musk is paying or any
- 16:06Speaker 2: wealthy but Elon Musk pays more taxes every year than
- 16:11Speaker 2: any other than most people combined. I mean, he has
- 16:16Speaker 2: the record in running more taxes. Now, he doesn't take
- 16:20Speaker 2: a salary, so he's not paying income tax. So that's different.
- 16:25Speaker 2: And that's what a lot of business owners do. When
- 16:27Speaker 2: you're making money at that level. You just borrow money
- 16:29Speaker 2: out of your business and spend it on what you
- 16:31Speaker 2: need to spend it on, typically to do more business.
- 16:35Speaker 2: That's what he does. He doesn't live in a giant mansion.
- 16:39Speaker 2: That's not what he does. That's not who he is.
- 16:43Speaker 2: He just works all the time and doing what he's
- 16:48Speaker 2: doing for dose just makes people hate him more so
- 16:51Speaker 2: here is Chuck Schumer laying it out for you. How
- 16:55Speaker 2: dare you want to keep the money that you earn.
- 16:58Speaker 2: It's not your money, it's our money. We want to
- 17:03Speaker 2: get it if these people won't let us get our
- 17:05Speaker 2: hands on their money, so we can do what we
- 17:09Speaker 2: do with them. You know what they do with them,
- 17:10Speaker 2: They basically buy votes with them. They brib people to
- 17:14Speaker 2: vote for them. It's not a secret anymore that allowing
- 17:18Speaker 2: people to come across the southern border and trying to
- 17:21Speaker 2: get them settled in somewhere and providing them with everything
- 17:25Speaker 2: they need, housing, food, schooling, medicine, whatever they need. Get
- 17:31Speaker 2: them in, get them settled, get them the right to vote.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Eighty percent chance they're going to vote Democrat. That's what
- 17:39Speaker 2: the state the stats say. So it's not a big
- 17:42Speaker 2: shock that that's what the plan is. So it's not
- 17:45Speaker 2: a big shock here to learn. They just want to
- 17:48Speaker 2: get their hands on that money. And they hate that
- 17:51Speaker 2: these people like Elon Musk that are working at doze
- 17:54Speaker 2: or cutting out some of the ways that they're getting
- 17:57Speaker 2: kickbacks on money, the way that they're work in the system,
- 18:02Speaker 2: Cause hey, the government doesn't have any money. It's our money,
- 18:08Speaker 2: it's tax money, but they're trying to figure out how
- 18:12Speaker 2: they can have more of it and they can put
- 18:14Speaker 2: it to their uses and in some cases work it
- 18:18Speaker 2: back into their pockets. Today's show brought to you by
- 18:21Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and
- 18:26Speaker 2: educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career
- 18:32Speaker 2: holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
- 18:35Speaker 2: it for school age kids as school age kids visit
- 18:39Speaker 2: the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
- 18:41Speaker 2: it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
- 18:47Speaker 2: and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming
- 18:52Speaker 2: right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
- 18:55Speaker 2: your degree on their website CCSSC. While you're there, also
- 19:03Speaker 2: check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
- 19:05Speaker 2: incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of
- 19:10Speaker 2: Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
- 19:13Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
- 19:18Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
- 19:20Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major City attraction that happens
- 19:29Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
- 19:33Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, and the new season of Music
- 19:36Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
- 19:41Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
- 19:47Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
- 19:51Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
- 19:53Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
- 19:56Speaker 2: events also on their website. It's CCSSC, as Sean Crusan
- 20:01Speaker 2: says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org. I just remind
- 20:06Speaker 2: you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
- 20:10Speaker 2: CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
- 20:14Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 20:17Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
- 20:23Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
- 20:27Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
- 20:31Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
- 20:34Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
- 20:36Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
- 20:39Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
- 20:45Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
- 20:47Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 20:50Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 20:54Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
- 20:57Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warm weather, sometimes
- 21:01Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 21:04Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 21:07Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 21:10Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 21:13Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
- 21:16Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 21:18Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
- 21:20Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
