The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carol Morning Show. Thursday morning, twenty,
0:10
first day of September. Hi, I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me.
0:15
Can we call it fall yet? I don't know. I know some people
0:19
say you have to get to the equinox, the autumnal equinox officially. Some
0:25
say September one, it's fall, you know, because you kind of go
0:30
by calendar months. I don't know either way. It's felt quite a bit
0:35
better in the mornings for past few days, and I haven't wandered outside yet
0:39
today, but I would imagine it continues to feel fabulous out there, so
0:42
we'll call it fall. I guess I want to follow up on something I
0:46
talked about yesterday because I guess right on que And it's always funny whenever I
0:52
have a topic that's kind of been on my heart or on my mind and
0:56
I want to talk about it, and then it seems like within a day
0:59
or two, I find something that follows along with it, sometimes confirming my
1:07
suspicions and sometimes going against it. And I just want to clarify because yesterday
1:15
I was talking about this notion that the idea that Democrats and folks on the
1:23
left support abortion up until the moment of birth is kind of an extreme viewpoint.
1:29
Now, I think it's an extreme viewpoint, and I don't know that
1:32
I clarified this yesterday, but I think it's an extreme viewpoint to say that
1:36
all Democrats feel that way, because I do think it is an extreme viewpoint.
1:41
Okay, However, this coming from the Federalist, and I saw this
1:51
article from the Federal Federalist. The editor in chief there, Molly Hemingway,
1:55
who's a regular pundent on some of the different show and things I know.
2:00
She shows up on Fox News and Fox Business, and she basically said in
2:07
this particular article and in some interviews that she did here recently, that nearly
2:14
every elected Democrat has voted in favor of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy,
2:23
nearly all of them. I saw another article that said all of them.
2:27
But I found that hard to believe that every single elected Democrat feels that
2:31
way, but to know that most of them feel that way. It's worth
2:36
noting that following up the thoughts from yesterday, because my comments yesterday largely fell
2:43
and really for a couple of days now have fallen into this idea. When
2:46
the Vice president was interviewed over the weekend and she would not clarify that she
2:55
could give a specific number of weeks that it was okay to say, okay,
3:02
abortion should stop. After this point. She was asked repeatedly in an
3:07
interview on CBS over the weekend, and she would not give a week amount.
3:12
She wouldn't she wouldn't say sixteen, she wouldn't say twelve, she wouldn't
3:15
say twenty. She just said that roe v Wade needed to Roe v Wade
3:20
needed to be the law of the land again, and that Democrats weren't going
3:23
to stop until that was the case. When pressed again and again and again,
3:30
that was the only answer she gave. It was a stock generic answer.
3:34
When the president talks about having folks that if he says the wrong thing,
3:38
he's going to get in trouble, this is a good example of that.
3:43
That's one of those things that at one time would have been called a
3:46
great conspiracy theory. Right. You would have been told, if you believe
3:50
that there's people behind the scenes pulling the strings, you're just a conspiracy theorist.
3:55
That the president is in charge the Vice President is right there in tow
4:00
and that they run the show right, They're in charge, they know what's
4:05
going on. And then we have a president who tells us from time to
4:12
time whenever he gets flustered that he shouldn't step out of line, he shouldn't
4:15
say the wrong thing, or he's gonna get himself in trouble. And I
4:19
think if he says it enough, we should start to believe him. I
4:23
mean, that's fair, right. The number of times that he's made statements
4:27
like that are the number of times he's tried to answer questions and had the
4:30
Easter Bunny show up to walk him away from the questions. I mean,
4:34
that's a bizarre thought to begin with. You have to, of course,
4:38
put in context that it was at the White House on the lawn during an
4:44
Easter egg rolling event, so there was a reason and Easter Bunny was there.
4:49
If this happened on a random day in August, and the Easter Bunny
4:54
showed up and whisked him away, I would say, well, first of
4:58
all, I wouldn't be shocked. It's just the way we are now.
5:00
The world is so weird, and every day seems to be something weirder.
5:04
And weirder. So if it was just, you know, a random November
5:10
day and I don't know, a leprechron ran across the White House lawn and
5:15
stopped the President from talking. Oh, would just go in. That seems
5:18
par for the course. It just seems to be kind of where we are.
5:23
It's just normal. But in this particular case, we will put it
5:28
in context. It was an Easter celebration, and he started to answer questions,
5:33
and someone in a bunny suit dressed as the Easter Bunny walked up and
5:39
escorted him away and kept him from answering whatever the question was. I wish
5:44
I could remember what the question was in relate it was whatever hot topic of
5:46
the day was that clearly whoever the people are that he says, get upset
5:51
with him for saying the wrong thing. I guess it was one of those
5:56
people dressed as the Easter Bunny. I don't know. It wasn't the real
5:59
Easter Bunny. I think the real Easter Bunny would support free speech. I
6:02
think the real Easter Bunny would support the President of the United States answering questions
6:08
of the people who elected him into office. But I digress. So when
6:13
he tells us that there's people that tell him what he's allowed to talk about
6:16
and not talk about, and what his talking points are. I think it's
6:20
safe to assume that the vice president also has talking points and things that she's
6:26
allowed to talk about, Especially when she gets asked the same question repeatedly and
6:30
gives the same generic answer that seems to be she seems to be better.
6:35
I guess it memorizing the talking points, I don't know, but repeating them
6:41
back word for word. I guess that's a positive that comes from a younger
6:45
brain, that comes from better cognition. It comes from a number of things.
6:48
But she was at least able to do that. Didn't have to ruffle
6:51
papers around and you know, I don't know, have you know someone dressed
6:58
his mother nature run through and step in the way and go whoa, whoa,
7:00
whoa, whoa? Not here? What was it on Saturday? I
7:03
love hanaka Harry, hanaka Harry. Didn't have to run in and go hey,
7:06
no, no, no, no answers. So she made it clear
7:11
someone's told her what she's supposed to say, so she said it over and
7:14
over again. She did, finally, I think, slip from what she's
7:17
supposed to stay on point, and she basically mentioned that this is going to
7:21
be a push to get people to vote. This is going to be driving
7:28
voter roles for Democrats next year. Not a bad strategy when you consider that
7:38
Roe v. Wade An Abortion was certainly heavy in the mid term elections last
7:44
year. We know that statistically it showed it was a hot button issue.
7:47
It was a lot of fundraising and things. So that's the plan they're going
7:51
to carry it out to that. But my question for all of that was
7:55
just simply, if Democrats and Republicans can eat somewhere in the middle, find
8:01
a compromise, finally put the issue of abortion to rest in the country,
8:07
you have people who don't want it at all, under any circumstance whatsoever.
8:13
They cherish human life, no matter how the human life got there, what
8:16
the circumstances of it. There are those people. They're also the people who
8:22
say Chris Rock made a joke, but he sounded like he was kind of
8:26
serious. Let the kid get his first report card and we can decide if
8:31
we're going to keep the kid. I know that that's not a common and
8:35
I'm sure it was just a joke. I hope you hope it was a
8:37
joke. But you have had people talk about allowing newborn babies to die on
8:45
a table, right, wasn't there a guy convicted of that, prosecuted for
8:50
that? So there are some people who believe that after the baby's born,
8:56
Okay, that's extreme. I would hope that, you know, in eight
9:01
and a half month, you know, thirty eight week child, I would
9:05
hope that's also an extreme viewpoint. But apparently, least according to the Federalists,
9:11
there have been almost all elected Democrats have voted in favor of that being
9:18
able to find and Democrats are saying this is an urgent time. Women have
9:22
to get their rights back, Women have to get their ability to get control
9:28
of their reproductive rights back. And I just feel like if they believe that,
9:31
then why would they not come to the table and start really making plans
9:37
to put something official into law. Let's put something into stone. The people
9:43
with the extreme views on both sides aren't going to be happy. It is
9:46
possible to meet somewhere in the middle and find something. If it's twelve weeks,
9:50
if it's sixteen weeks, twenty weeks, whatever it is, I get
9:54
the feeling you're gonna have some Republicans, they're going to say twelve is they're
9:58
absolute, and you're gonna have some Democrats something to say twenty is the absolute.
10:01
Seems like sixteen might be a compromise. I don't know. I'm not
10:05
an expert on negotiations. That's not who I am. I am not the
10:09
negotiator. But I'm just trying to say, if we could come together on
10:13
something both parties, maybe we would all be better off for it, right,
10:18
wouldn't we be all better off for it? I also want to talk
10:22
about this because something that went viral earlier in the month, I don't a
10:28
week or so ago, a week and a half ago, continues to circulate
10:33
online. It's Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana reading out of the book Gender Queer
10:41
inside a hearing where they're discussing book bands. And now I want to point
10:45
out the fact that book bands is kind of like the whole don't say gay
10:48
thing. I think. When one party, in this case, Republicans,
10:56
says that there's some books that are in school libraries that aren't appropriate for kids
11:00
to read, people say they want to ban these books, they want to
11:03
have book bands, they want to use the language of Nazi Germany, right,
11:09
because not wanting your kid to hear well to see I guess in reading
11:16
it. But if you don't want your kid to hear it, don't don't
11:18
play the audio of this particular excerpt that's read by John Kennedy that's floating around
11:24
online. I'm looking at the words. I'm not going to read them.
11:31
I've heard him read them. It's comical hearing him read them in a in
11:37
an oversight committee, a sitting US Senator seventy one years old reading these words
11:43
from the book Gender Queer. And it's even now led to the author of
11:48
the book to say, yeah, this book's not appropriate for middle school and
11:52
elementary school kids shouldn't be in those libraries. It's not who it's intended.
11:56
Well, I don't know that, they even said. I don't even oh,
12:00
and I'm saying they because I don't know. I don't these pronouns that
12:07
this particular author has, I don't I don't know how to pronounce them.
12:11
And this is another one of the issues that comes up when it comes to
12:13
the pronouns. And I think it is let's say these are the pronouns,
12:18
and you can if you can tell me how to pronounce them. I don't
12:20
know E. Just the letter e em, I'm guessing that's M. I
12:28
don't know, and then air ei R. So it's like there, I
12:33
guess without the thh. I don't I don't know. I don't know that
12:37
I've seen an excerpt. I don't know that there's been. But again,
12:41
this goes back to we have a language to help us to communicate with each
12:46
other. When we come up with new ways to say things or to pronounce
12:50
things, that we need some sort of a guide to explain it. So
12:54
I'm not intentionally mispronouncing anything to be difficult. I'm is pointing out the fact
13:01
that, again I don't know how to pronounce that. But this author said
13:05
that it's not appropriate for middle school. In elementary, it's not recommended for
13:09
them. I don't know that we've even gotten an explanation of should this be
13:13
in high schools? But apparently the book and Maya m ai A Kobabi is
13:26
the author's name. I mean, this is not This is not something I
13:33
would want my kids to read, even my high school age kid. None
13:35
of this, none of this at all. And we've had some Democrats now
13:41
have come along and said, yeah, this isn't okay to be in schools.
13:43
But keep in mind, when someone says this shouldn't be in a school
13:46
library, people scream, oh, it's a book ban Nazis. They don't
13:50
like books. They don't want people to have the free ability to read books,
13:58
and that should not be content easily and readily available to children in school
14:05
libraries. I don't think so do you think it's okay? Have you heard
14:09
what's in the books? I mean again, I'm not going to read it.
14:11
I don't want to. I try to keep this family safe. So
14:16
in this particular book, the author Kobabi Kobabe I don't know, explained that
14:26
the book was written to convey this is her now, this is her her
14:33
perspective on gender. So a way to say, and this is a quote,
14:39
this is what I'm talking about when I talk about gender, the pronouns
14:41
or the tip of the iceberg. I originally wrote it for my parents and
14:46
then for older teens who are already asking these questions about themselves. I don't
14:50
recommend this book for kids. So based on that the recommendation of the author,
14:58
okay, and basically claiming at some point even back to twenty twenty one
15:03
that gender queer generally appropriate for those in high school and above. Fourteen to
15:09
eighteen years old would be the high school age. So how can we scream
15:15
this is book banning and it's Nazi Germany. If even the author of the
15:18
book says not recommended for middle school, I don't know that it's recommended.
15:24
I mean it should it be recommended for high school. I mean the author
15:30
of the book doesn't get to decide whether or not that's appropriate. There should
15:33
be some element of common sense about Again, it's really tough to cover this
15:39
fully if you haven't heard Senator Kennedy reading this, but it's it's pretty graphic.
15:48
It's very graphic. It's very graphic. It's graphic. I mean it's
15:58
thinks that you might here on uh, you know, an X rated movie,
16:07
right, It's the kind of stuff you might hear in that. That's
16:10
what it is. I don't know why anybody would think this is Remember when
16:12
there was a movie, by the Way, that was nominated for a Best
16:15
Picture about an adult man and a teenage boy fooling around with each other,
16:22
and people said, oh, it's just a beautiful love story coming of age.
16:26
For this kid under eighteen, a teenage boy and an adult man,
16:32
and it was nominated for Best Picture. By the way, Call Me by
16:36
Your Name? Right? Is that what it was called? Call Me by
16:38
Your Name? Yeah? So I don't I don't know when, Like,
16:44
could they show that at school? I mean, I don't. I don't
16:47
think so. Could that be in the library readily available for viewing for kids
16:53
that want to just watch it and enjoy it. I don't know. It
16:59
doesn't seem okay, it doesn't seem appropriate. There's gotta be some element of
17:02
common sense for this. Do you want your kids to read it or not?
17:04
Do you think it's okay? And you can't scream book band just because
17:10
someone says this isn't appropriate, because there are times where it's not appropriate.
17:15
And I'm sorry, but you should listen to Ted Kennedy. I'm sorry to
17:21
John Kennedy read this. It's not Ted. You should listen. If they've
17:25
got Ted Kennedy to read it, that would be remarkable. You should listen
17:29
to John Kennedy and you should hear him read the excerpts from the book,
17:33
and then you decide for yourself is this appropriate or is it truly something that
17:40
kids should see and then by banning it. It's like Nazi Germany. Today's
17:44
show brought to you by Columba State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring
17:49
and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
17:57
all ages. I mean they do it for school age kids as school aged
18:02
kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through
18:04
their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the
18:11
careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn
18:17
more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're
18:25
there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible
18:30
collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called
18:36
Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere
18:41
else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
18:44
Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
18:48
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the
18:55
planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under
19:00
the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out
19:06
when the next Astronomy Nights coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes
19:10
you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
19:15
outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can
19:17
do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC
19:22
dot org. As Shaan Cruzen says Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot org.
19:29
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot
19:36
org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
19:38
all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
19:45
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
19:51
has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
19:56
Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
20:00
you can always ask him questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
20:03
like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
20:07
you want it to be, and you need some repair work done to the
20:11
outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's
20:15
making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
20:19
of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that
20:25
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
20:29
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
20:33
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
20:38
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
20:41
or maybe you just want a little man caved you'd like to be able
20:44
to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can
20:48
do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:52
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
20:56
your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, And they
21:00
do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven h

six three five eight forty five hundred O DC columbus dot com more West Carol
21:10
Morning Show right after the break. Well, if you want to get the
21:21
most out of your exercise, the most benefits from exercise, they say,
21:25
work out in the morning. A new study found that working out early in
21:29
the day, specifically between seven and nine AM, is best for weight loss
21:32
weight management. They say exercising in the morning is beneficial because it's done before
21:37
the day's activities distract or derail you. According to Rebecca Krukowski, doctor,
21:45
who is a clinical psychologist and expert on behavioral weight management, this is exciting
21:49
new research consistent with a common tip for meeting exercise goals, that is,
21:55
schedule exercise in the morning before emails, phone calls, or meetings that might
22:00
distract you. So I don't know if that counts is getting the most benefit
22:03
from it. That's where I get confused on some of these things when they
22:06
say, oh, if you drink a diet soft drink with aspartame, that
22:11
makes you sometimes think you can eat something that is a sweet later, so
22:15
there's a negative benefit to it. But to me, if you have the
22:19
aspartame some sort of sweetener and you treat that as your treat and you don't
22:23
have something sweet later. Then it's a benefit, isn't it. So I
22:27
don't know if this is giving you the maximum benefit of your workout or if
22:32
it's just helping to make sure that you stay consistent with your workout. I
22:34
guess is I don't know. To me, it's all about habit anyway,
22:37
and if you can really get in there and keep a habit going, that's
22:41
the best way to go. We always try to put forward an ideal version
22:45
of our cells when dating, but maybe we should embrace our cringe e side
22:49
instead. That's one of those younger people like that word cringe e. Seventy
22:53
five percent of millennials and gin Z single survey said embracing your cringe and your
22:59
real cell will help you find the perfect mate. Forty seven percent of respondents
23:03
said that they are more cringey than cool, and seventy four percent find it
23:07
attractive when their dates share things that they nerd out about. So there you
23:12
go. Anytime you travel to a city for the first time, you're probably
23:15
tempted to visit all the popular tourist sites or the tourist traps. In other
23:21
words, you're likely to spend a lot of money to see something that doesn't
23:25
quite live up to your expectations. Property management company Casago and USA Today Blueprint
23:30
recently conducted their own research to determine the biggest tourist traps in the country,
23:36
and they base their findings on reviews found on trip Advisor, Google and others,
23:40
and they looked at reviews containing words like tourist trap, overrated, expensive.
23:45
Here are some of the biggest tourist traps in the US. Fisherman's Wharf
23:49
in San Francisco, Four Corners Monument in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, New
23:55
Mexico. How can that one be a tourist trap? Really? I'm Square
24:00
in New York, Navy Pierce Chicago, Hollywood Walk of Fame, San Antonio
24:03
Riverwalk, Salem Witch Museum in Massachusetts. That's interesting, and the Dull Plantation
24:11
in Hawaii. So I don't know if you're going to any of those places
24:14
or thinking about going any of those places, keep that in mind. Maybe
24:17
just maybe it's a tourist trap and maybe not worth your time and money.
24:22
Pringles and Caviar, how about that. This is something that Pringles has decided
24:30
to team up with the Caviar company to really solimited edition crisps and caviar collection
24:37
not something you probably expected to come along from the folks at Pringles, but
24:41
it features three different kits combining a different flavored Pringle with two different types of
24:45
caviar. Kits are priced at forty nine, one hundred, ten, and
24:49
one hundred forty dollars. Each kid comes with a gold collectible key chain and
24:55
two spoons so you can share it with your most deserving friend or loved How
25:00
about just some of that gray poupon mustard? Can we just get that on
25:04
