The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Wednesday morning, sixth day
0:13
of September. I'm West Thanks for joining me. Talked a little bit yesterday
0:19
about the fact that there do seem to be some people starting to raise that
0:22
eyebrow and look in the direction of Joe Biden, going is that really gonna
0:27
be the guy that Democrats are gonna put up? And I mean they seem
0:32
to be stuck with him, right, I mean, is that the case?
0:37
Is that the thing? I mean, it seems like they're stuck with
0:43
him? Or are they? I mean, I don't know. I don't
0:49
know. We will find out. We're gonna find out if they're stuck with
0:54
him or not. I don't know. I don't know if that's gonna be
0:59
the long the long term. I don't know if that's going to be the
1:02
long game. But we're going to find out as we get closer and closer.
1:06
What makes me suspicious about this is whether or not the news stories that
1:14
are negative in the direction of Joe Biden will continue to be the case,
1:19
because that seems to be a growing thing now and It's not just coming from
1:23
folks on the right. It's coming from a variety of places. As you
1:30
got various folks on CNBC, you got folks on CNN. They're starting to
1:37
raise questions about Bidenomics, saying things like this isn't working, This just isn't
1:44
working. And the fact that I think there is this continuing, growing,
1:53
mounting desire to push him out the door, perhaps can the only explanation for
2:00
it. Right. I've told you before on this show that when SNL makes
2:06
jokes about your political candidate, that probably means that there is someone somewhere working
2:14
to push them out the door. And I don't know. I don't know
2:17
what's going on with an SNL at the moment. I guess they're getting ready
2:20
to kick off another season or I don't know. I guess they can't do
2:23
that. They don't have writers, so I don't know what they're doing at
2:24
SNL. But bottom line here is, well, yeah, I can't do
2:30
the show at all. Can They hadn't really thought about that. That's one
2:31
of the really big ones that's affected O. The talk shows are having to
2:36
do a podcasts and things to be creative with it, and it's really given
2:40
Bill Mahers some opportunities to upset some people. But that's that's another story altogether.
2:46
But so it's not that SNL is currently doing it, but they have
2:50
been. You know, they were doing it last season. They were poking
2:53
fun at Biden at times and taking shots at Harris. So we have this
2:59
thought, and I think more and more people are realizing that there is a
3:01
possibility that he could be pushed out of the way. And as people are
3:06
starting to question the age factor, more and more of people are saying,
3:09
he's just not a coherent eighty year old. He's not someone who is capable
3:16
of doing all the things that he would need to be able to do to
3:20
be president again, because a lot of people question whether or not he's coherent
3:23
enough to do it now. I mean, that's something that really has to
3:29
be looked at all. Right, So well they push him out the door,
3:30
I don't know, But what makes me think that we just need the
3:35
way to keep your finger on the pulse, if you will. The way
3:38
to just stay aware of what's going on is to be aware of the media
3:43
outlets, be aware of where if you're hearing it in other places. That's
3:46
what you need to be aware of if you continue to see things like Gavin
3:50
Newsom showing up at the White House for photo ops when the President isn't there,
3:54
you know, because that happened a while back. Just an opportunity to
3:58
go in, sit at the desk, really just kind of, you know,
4:01
hang out, take some photos, walking around, sitting in the West
4:04
wing, anything he can do outside around the greenery or walking the halls.
4:11
You know, it seems like potential for a website. I don't know.
4:15
I don't know if the websites have already been registered for him to be a
4:17
candidate or you know, because sometimes that happens behind the scenes, But just
4:21
be aware that they do seem to have someone waiting in the wings. So
4:27
whether or not this is a it certainly seems like we may be headed in
4:31
that direction. And I know a lot of it has to do with whether
4:34
or not they think he can be Trump, or whether or not Trump will
4:38
be the candidate. I mean, that's really what it's all about. So
4:41
we'll see, we'll see whether or not he's the guy. I do want
4:43
to talk about this story though this is a separate to this, but this
4:47
relates to this teachers union in Colorado giving advice to educators teachers in the school
5:00
tool district that when they give out anything, any sort of survey, any
5:06
sort of the curriculum that falls under the category of something to do with gender
5:13
identity with children, they're asking them to make sure that they're not doing it
5:17
in a digital format, as there would be a paper trail, there would
5:21
be digital records, or more permanent as how they put it. Make sure
5:26
it's a paper and pencil activity. Of course, it's got some parents concerned
5:32
because they're saying, well, why are we not the first of all,
5:36
and I'm assuming that this particular school district maybe has been instructed that they're not
5:43
supposed to do this, or it's been discouraged for them to be trying to
5:46
sneak you around and do it, or they just understand that it's probably would
5:53
be frowned upon by maybe the parents in that community. So here Here's so
6:01
if they're going out of their way to try to help hide it's you know,
6:06
it's one of those deals where you think you're probably doing something wrong.
6:14
You know, when you catch your kid doing something and they don't know that
6:16
they're doing something wrong. They act a certain way when they're doing something that
6:21
they know is wrong, and you catch them doing they act a different way.
6:26
This sounds like that. I mean, this is definitely, you know,
6:30
someone being caught in the process of doing something that they know they shouldn't
6:33
be doing. Here's the quotes from this. Uh, this is from the
6:38
Jefferson County Education Association. There's a teachers union members and they reached out to
6:46
the teachers and basically said, I guess there is a law in place.
6:50
They wanted to break the law, and they said, if you do a
6:55
questionnaire relating to general identity, please make sure it's a paper and pencil.
7:00
Activity and digital records are more permanent, maybe requested under federal law. To
7:06
me, that's where you're crossing the line, right, they may be requested
7:11
under federal law. Make your notations about students and not hold on to the
7:18
documents. According to the union, there's a Jeffco Kids First parental rights group
7:29
and they say that there were teachers in the district that asked students to fill
7:35
out a survey with questions about gender identity. And so it's happened and the
7:46
parents feel like they've been lied to, deceived, lied to, taken advantage
7:54
of I don't feel that we can trust the teachers. She says. This
7:59
is not political, it's just that they're breaking the law. This is according
8:03
to a member of Denise Crawford as her name, member of a Child in
8:09
the district and part of Jeff Cooke Kids First. Okay, so here's here,
8:15
and they're saying that the school board there says that they're taking the union's
8:22
email very seriously. So here's here's what we got. We've been going through
8:31
this now for really quite a while, but especially since twenty nineteen or so,
8:39
where it's really kicked in a notch in twenty twenty, and I've been
8:43
talking until I'm blue in the face about this one particular area of society that
8:48
we're failing ourselves and we're failing each other in. I mean it. Empathy
8:54
is certainly one of those and I think that's high on the list of things
8:58
that we have to do better with. We have to be better at at
9:01
least trying to put ourselves in each other's shoes. Okay, but that's not
9:05
the issue I want to talk about now. I just want to talk about
9:07
this trust thing, because here you have parents that feel like they can't trust
9:16
the school district. They feel like they can't trust the teachers because they feel
9:24
like that this sneaking behind their back thing happened with some knowledge or some preparation,
9:33
which leads you to believe they had knowledge that they were doing something wrong,
9:35
that they knew that they were breaking the law, so they had something
9:39
in place to make sure that they didn't get caught. Right. It's the
9:43
equivalent of if you happen to be a drug dealer and you happen to have
9:48
a burner phone, you know. I mean, somebody can have a burner
9:54
phone in society. They may have reasons to have a burner phone, but
9:58
typically when you have a burner phone, you have one for some scandalous reason.
10:05
It's not usual to have a burner phone just and be like, you
10:09
know, an accountant or whatever, like it's it's not normal. It's not
10:13
normal to just have like a day to day job. That's everything's above board.
10:20
Maybe account's not a good example, but you know, everything's above board.
10:26
You know, you're like a minister to church, you know, and
10:30
you're you got a burner phone. That's not normal. That's that would be
10:33
atypical, I think for a church minister to have a burner phone, not
10:37
to say that they can't, because I'm sure there have been ministers with burner
10:43
phones, but it's not a typical profession that would require you to have a
10:46
burner phone, you know. And I'm not saying all drug dealers have burner
10:50
phones, but you know, I would sink it's more common. It tends
10:52
to be people that maybe are breaking a law that they have the burner phone
10:56
in place. That's all I'm getting at, And that's kind of what I'm
11:00
equating this whole strategy of using paper and pencil to cover their track. So
11:05
now this is a more serious I don't know, I'm having fun with that
11:09
part of it, but this is serious. Where do you go if you're
11:13
a parent with a kid in the district and you think, I don't I
11:18
don't trust and can I trust any school district if this is going to be
11:22
the norm or people? Is this happening everywhere? Are they doing this in
11:24
Florida? Are they doing this in Georgian? Are they doing it in places
11:28
where the states have a law in place? And how do we make sure
11:33
that that's not the case. When you have parents that feel like they have
11:37
to be a part of a group like this particular group, the Jeff go
11:41
kids first, and you have what happened in Virginia, and you have what's
11:46
happening really basically in some county or some school district. Probably in all fifty
11:52
states it's happened, maybe not all fifty, most of where you got parents
11:56
that are just saying, I don't like what's going on in the class room.
12:00
I don't like what my kids are being talked with about. I don't
12:03
like topics at hand. I told you before, I know someone who used
12:07
to be a teacher here in Muskogee County and used to brag about, Yeah,
12:13
I go to school every day and teach kids about how great communism is,
12:18
and I'm pushing them in that direction as hard as I can and laughed.
12:22
I was like, you're serious. Yeah, absolutely, every day that's
12:24
what I do. I do every little ways to subtly push that on them.
12:28
I want them to grow up to be communists. Yes, that is
12:33
someone that I know, someone I used to know that did that as a
12:39
profession. That was this person's job was to go in and you know,
12:45
supposed to be teaching, but was pushing forward this agenda every day with kids,
12:50
and he particularly thought it was especially amusing because of the kids that he
12:56
was doing it with, Like, he thought it was really funny because of
13:00
who those kids were in the families they represented. How successful he was.
13:03
I don't know, I don't know how much he accomplished with that, but
13:07
I know he thought he was accomplishing something. So again, you've got parents
13:11
that don't trust the school district, just like we have people who don't trust
13:15
the medical establishment. We have people that don't trust the drug companies. We
13:18
have people that don't trust Anthony Fauci. We have people that don't trust the
13:22
media in general. We have people that don't trust the Internet. They have
13:26
people that don't trust the various news talking heads. We have people that don't
13:31
trust news talk radio. We have people that don't trust podcasters. We have
13:35
people that don't trust Joe Rogan. We have people that are angry with Bill
13:39
Maher and they don't trust him anymore. It's this wide broad spectrum, and
13:43
that's not even getting to they don't trust one political party or the other,
13:48
or they don't trust other citizens just because they happen to know for a fact
13:52
that they vote one way or the other. We have the They don't trust
13:56
science, they don't trust people that you know, don't trust climate change.
14:01
We have. This is a this is a really bad place that we've gotten
14:05
ourselves too. This is a really bad place where we are, where there's
14:09
so much lack of trust in so many aspects. If you can't trust the
14:13
school district, if you can't trust the teachers in the school district to do
14:18
their jobs, the jobs that are laid out for them, and in this
14:22
case, they were telling them that they should break the law and do something
14:26
that they were told that they weren't they shouldn't do, and they were told
14:28
to do it to help hide the fact that they were breaking the law.
14:31
Then how do you trust those teachers? How do you trust and it's part
14:35
of a union, how do you trust the teachers union that's in place?
14:39
How do you trust the people that are pushing that agenda? We have to
14:43
fix that. I talk to people that talk about like, now it's this
14:48
people going on, Oh, they got to bring back the mass I heard
14:50
that, you know, the first lady has COVID and they're saying that the
14:56
President's going to start wearing a mask again out in public and doors whenever he's
15:01
in an event, he's going to start wearing his mask and make sure he's
15:03
getting on that he doesn't have a COVID or he didn't at last check,
15:05
and then they got to make sure that he covers up and protects himself and
15:09
all those things. Is that do people think? I mean, I don't
15:16
know. I certainly know that there are some people who think that. I
15:18
was around people this past weekend at Dragon Con. There were people there that
15:22
were wearing masks, and I don't honestly care if they wear their mask.
15:26
I know some people will get angry, why are you wearing a mask?
15:28
Or just like there were people when there were some people that didn't want to
15:33
wear a mask back in twenty twenty, and people would say, a right,
15:35
why aren't you wearing a mask? And I do believe that we should
15:39
have some ability to make up our minds. We do. We should have
15:43
some ability to talk to our doctors. We should have some ability to decide
15:46
whether or not we want to get vaccinated or not. I've been very frustrated
15:52
during twenty twenty and twenty twenty one where people were screaming about I don't understand
15:56
how and we had so many Black Americans that won't get vaccinated, and you
15:58
go, well, there's a history. There's a history there that might make
16:02
them cautious and not trust the CDC. There's a reason that they in some
16:07
cases didn't want to get a vaccine, didn't trust it, didn't feel comfortable
16:11
with it, didn't want anything to do with it. I have friends confirmed
16:15
that with me, told me didn't want to get vaccinated for that reason.
16:19
They just go at Tuskegee, man, what else do you need to hear?
16:22
And I go, Okay, just confirming that's all I wanted to know.
16:25
I assumed that was why. I just wanted to confirm that because I
16:30
completely understand, and I think it's a very valid reason to not trust the
16:33
CDC. It's a valid reason to not trust the federal government. A lot
16:37
of people have valid reasons to not trust some entities, a lot of people
16:42
have valid reasons to not trust the press. And we haven't done anything to
16:48
course correct that. We're still just letting it all continue. It's just all
16:51
out there boiling over in so many ways. And then you hear about this
16:56
this activity that's happening in Colorado where a school is breaking the law trying to
17:02
do surveys for kids about their gender identity and telling them ways they can more
17:07
easily hide the fact that they're doing something that they're not supposed to be doing.
17:11
And we wonder why people will say, I don't trust them. I
17:15
don't trust that school district. I don't trust all of those other venues.
17:18
I don't trust when they're screaming about hurricanes or caused by climate change, and
17:25
hurricanes have been here for a very very long time. They're not new.
17:29
I don't know why we're pretending that they're brand new. We pretend that they're
17:32
brand new. I know I did a whole show on this yesterday, but
17:34
we were part of a show on this yesterday. But we pretend that they're
17:37
brand new now. And I don't know why we would pretend that they're brand
17:40
new, because it just ruins the credibility of the people that are saying it.
17:42
They're not brand new. It's been horrible hurricanes, horrible hurricanes. They
17:47
have been happening thousands and thousands of years, maybe further back than that.
17:51
I don't know. I don't know. I can't attest anything that happened,
17:55
you know, before, like the mid seventies. I can't really attest to
17:57
anything that happened before. I mean, I've read books about it, but
18:03
I didn't have an eyewitness account of things. Is all I'm getting at today's
18:06
show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring
18:11
and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
18:19
all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids as school
18:23
aged kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
18:26
through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and
18:33
the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can
18:38
learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While
18:47
you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
18:51
incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University
18:57
called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get
19:03
anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
19:06
Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia. I mean,
19:10
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the
19:17
planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under
19:22
the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out
19:27
when the next Astronomy Nights coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes
19:32
you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
19:37
outside the city lights you don't any light interference, and you can do that
19:40
as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot
19:45
org. As Shawn Kruzen says Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot org, I
19:51
just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center cc SSC dot
19:57
org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
20:00
all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
20:07
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
20:12
has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
20:18
Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
20:22
you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
20:26
like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
20:30
you want it to be, and you need some repair work done to the
20:33
outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's
20:37
making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
20:41
of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that
20:47
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
20:51
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
20:55
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of out door but
21:00
indoor. You know, if you like to work on your own cars in
21:03
there, or maybe you just want a little man caved. You'd like to
21:06
be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in.
21:10
They can do that for you as well, and again they do after hours
21:12
calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your
21:17
garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
21:21
And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

21:32
West Carol Morning Show right after the break. So it seems that older people
21:45
are just as guilty of spending a lot of time on social media as younger
21:48
people. Younger people get called out for it, especially these kids, these
21:52
little whipper snappers on their social media. But a survey of seniors found the
21:57
average American sixty five and olders spends almost three hundred hours a year on social
22:02
media, an average of about forty seven minutes a day. Not a surprise
22:06
though they spend not a surprise that they spend most of that time on Facebook,
22:11
followed by YouTube, Instagram, and senior's polls said they use social media
22:15
to kill time. Fifty eight percent they law said that they log in to
22:21
stay in touch with loved ones, sixty one percent said that they use it
22:25
to reconnect with friends, and about forty percent said that they even made a
22:30
new friend on social media. A Subway is launching a one hundred and eighty
22:37
foot blimp into the skies above select cities throughout the month to promote their new
22:44
Delhi Hero subs and the best part is that some lucky Sandwich lovers will get
22:49
an opportunity to climb aboard the media airship for a thirty minute flight and sample
22:55
all four Delhi Hero subs. The blimp will fly over Kansas City today.
23:02
It started I guess yesterday, but it's going through Thursday, and then it
23:06
will head to Atlanta. There we go September thirteenth and fourteenth, Orlando September
23:11
nineteenth, the twentieth, and then Miami the twenty fourth and twenty sixth.
23:17
If you would like to participate and fly and enjoy the travels, you can
23:22
go to Subway in the sky dot com. So this is basically like the
23:30
Wienermobile, right, I know, it's got a different name now, but
23:32
it's still the Wienermobile. So you get on the on the blimp and it
23:36
mentions these cities. But it's got to fly I guess from Kansas City.
23:40
I assume it will fly from there to Atlanta, right, I mean it's
23:45
in Kansas City now, so it's got it's got to get to Atlanta.
23:47
They're not deflating it, so they deflate it. You know, you have
23:52
to have one of those little things you have to push in on to let
23:55
the air out and push in to put air in it. If it's got
23:57
one of those, it seems like a lot of work. So I would
24:00
imagine it's got a fly, so it's gonna go between Kansas City in Atlanta.
24:04
I was trying to gauge whether or not this was happening during significant football
24:08
events or something like. They would have the subway blimp like the old Goodyear
24:15
blimp, right, they could do that. I don't know. How about
24:18
this an opportunity to own a very rare piece of American history. It's going
24:22
on an auction block and it could be yours for the lolo price of one
24:26
million dollars. It's a handwritten letter from George Washington, dated March fifteenth,
24:32
seventeen eighty nine, just one month before he was inaugurated as America's first president
24:37
of the United States. You have to say it that way because there was
24:41
some, you know, other non of the United States presidents before him.
24:47
The letter was sent from his Mount Vernon, unioned to look it up.
24:49
If you don't believe me, just look it up John Hancock. The letter
24:53
was sent from his Mount Vernon, Virginia State, to a naval officer in
24:57
Philadelphia, in which he writes that he pledges to make justice in public good
25:04
his soul objects. The letter is for sale at the Gotta Have Rock and
25:10
Roll auction House and bids will be That seems appropriate, doesn't it. They've
25:15
gotta have Rock and Roll auction House. Bids will be accepted through September twenty
25:18
second. It's expected to go for at least one million dollars at least if
25:26
you're worried about the zombie apocalypse, and I don't know if we should be
25:32
or not, the way things have gone the last three or four years probably
25:34
should be. At the very least. I got I got friends that have
25:44
fought zombies on TV for a while. I'm looking at you, Cooper Andrews,
25:49
so I feel like I'm okay. I feel like I've got I've got
25:52
a plan. I feel like I've got a plan in place right looking at
25:57
you, Norman Retis, look at you, Chad Coleman. I mean,
26:02
I got a few options that could help me out in some scenarios, probably
26:07
forgetting some too, but especially how I hung out with Cooper quite a bit
26:12
over the weekend to try and come so it seemed to bump into him every
26:17
ten minutes. But if you want to survive full blown sorry, don't step
26:21
in the names. I'm dropping. If there's a full blown zombie apocalypse,
26:25
though, they say, you probably want to be in Houston. According to
26:29
new research, the Texas city of Houston will be the best place to survive
26:33
a mob of brain eating zombies. Researchers looked at a variety of metrics including
26:38
vulnerability, supplies, protection, mobility, and hideouts. Basements and bunkers would
26:45
be included in that, and it found that Houston provides the best opportunity to
26:48
survive. New York is second, followed by San Antonio, Miami, and
26:53
Los Angeles. The city is they say to avoid at all costs in the
27:00
event of zombies is Miramar, Florida, near Miami. So there you go.
27:07
Oh rossmore Kwan. He's also on that same TV show. I know
27:11
there was another one I could think. I was thinking there's another one that
27:12
I had talked to Stephen jan too, but I don't know if he's still
27:18
in the zombie killing mode. You know, he's getting nominated for oscars and
27:21
stuff. So all right, that'll do it for this Wednesday. Addition to
