Not Liking Someone Doesn't Make a Sham Trial Okay · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:06
day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, twenty
0:10
third day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me another day for
0:18
the Trump trial. It's a joke. It's a complete joke. It would
0:27
be a joke. You ever know those people that if you say, well,
0:30
the talking about some real serious issue and you say, well, you
0:33
know the funny thing about that, and they go, this is funny to
0:35
you? Or you say something's a joke and they say this is funny to
0:40
you. I don't know why. It turns into a like a cartoon character,
0:45
but you know what they mean when they say it's a joke, and
0:51
this is a joke. This is an absolute joke. No, it's not
0:54
funny to anybody. I suppose it's funny to folks on the left. This
0:59
is their fantasy playing out as the former president, presumptive eventual nominee on the
1:07
Republican side for president is being forced to take part in and be tried for
1:15
some of the most ridiculous of things in various states around the country. But
1:22
this hush money thing in New York is absolutely absurd when you're talking about what
1:29
should have been at most a misdemeanor charge in twenty sixteen. Here we are
1:36
eight years later with what most people have said is something that's unethical, nothing
1:47
that should be warranting felony charges, but solely for the purposes of trying to
1:53
hang a convicted felon around the former president's neck. That's what the It's the
2:00
scarlet letter that they're looking for. It's a scarlet f that they're trying to
2:04
put on there so that they can say that Republicans, these ridiculous Republicans and
2:13
uneducated, uninformed Americans that are maybe you know, more moderate, maybe they're
2:21
middle of the road, and they would be so dumb and so absurd and
2:27
so themselves, I guess, unethical that they would vote for a convicted felon
2:35
to be president of the United States. And it won't matter whenever the appeal
2:38
happens when and obviously this is a trial's just getting started, but it's sort
2:42
of assumed that this is going to be one of those areas where the justice
2:46
system fails, and it does sometimes. It's interesting, is it not that
2:53
we have so many cases in our country where people say, well, This
2:59
is proof the justice system just doesn't work. It's the best one that there
3:04
is in the world. Let's be honest, in principle, in theory,
3:09
in the way that it should be executed, it is. It's the best
3:14
anyone's come up with. You don't take someone who steals an apple and chop
3:19
their hand off. We're not doing that. We're actually giving people an opportunity
3:24
to be innocent until proven guilty. And we know that there are cases where
3:31
it doesn't go the way that it probably should have gone. We've seen it
3:37
happen. We just obviously with the death of oj Simpson. We know that
3:42
there are times when the justice system. I mean, you would say it
3:47
works, you had effective lawyers in place that made it work. But just
3:53
being honest and being blunt in the criminal trial, the justice system didn't work,
3:59
and we know that they're in the civil trial, it certainly did.
4:01
We know some people who we hear stories all the time about people that are
4:06
wrongly accused, wrongly convicted of things, and then later they say, oh
4:13
gosh, they found the DNA evidence and they're able to say later they never
4:17
should have been convicted in the first place, and they've wasted all this time,
4:23
and what a great loss and great tragedy that we've gone through. This
4:27
is what is most likely about to play out in the Trump trial, as
4:32
he is going to get hammered as just proof that this is rigged. I
4:40
wouldn't support this for anybody. By the way, if this was if we're
4:44
talking about this situation being reversed and this was Joe Biden, who was the
4:49
former president running for reelection against Donald Trump, I would not be in favor
4:55
of that. This is a sham. It's a sham for anyone. We
5:00
need to get to a point where Americans can get passed and they're not,
5:05
but they can get past their politics in the name of what's right and what's
5:09
wrong. This is wrong. What they're doing is wrong. So we know
5:15
that it's going to play out. We know how it's going to go in
5:16
New York with a da bought and paid for by the voters. Right,
5:23
they've this was a campaign promise that he's fulfilling. We have a judge who's
5:29
taking it forward because Democrats supported judge in a place where he's not really going
5:36
to be able to get a fair trial. And here we go. So
5:41
if it happens if he is convicted, and of course they we got to
5:46
have gag orders. Can't let the president talk. He might talk about running
5:49
for president. He might the former president might have an opportunity to speak to
5:57
the voters about what's going on in the courtroom. We have to can't let
6:00
him get the word out. Don't want people to understand that this is wrong.
6:06
Can you imagine to finish the thought, then later we'll go, oh,
6:14
well, this never should have been. He'll appeal it, he'll win,
6:17
and it'll be based on the grounds that this was all absurd to begin
6:20
with. It'll be after the election. It'll be after people voted, It'll
6:25
be after people shamed people for voting for him. Imagine, just for a
6:31
minute, just imagine that this was just say twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton wins.
6:41
Let's do that hypothetical, and then four years later, Donald Trump beats
6:48
Hillary Clinton, and then Hillary Clinton in the process of trying to run against
6:55
Donald Trump again. It comes out and you go back to the steel dos
7:00
and the misdemeanor. Then that ultimately she just paid a fine for and moved
7:04
on. Somehow gets this convoluted thing where they turn it into felony and they
7:14
decide to try her at this point, Okay, and this is all just
7:18
reverse. Think of the protests, Think of the people blocking the streets,
7:24
Think of people using this as an excuse to go out and riot and blot
7:30
or whatever. I don't even know if we need that excuse anymore, because
7:32
we know what's happening in a number of places. But think about how this
7:36
could have been flipped. Think about if this was Barack Obama right, Think
7:42
about how different all of this plays out. If this isn't a Republican It's
7:47
just it's absurd, and we're just seeing it play out right before our eyes.
7:55
It's all just going to play out, and then we're gonna basically start
8:01
putting Americans on notice or you're gonna dare cast a vote. And Americans that
8:05
don't want to stand for it, Americans who think it's wrong, Americans who
8:11
really don't know one way or the other. They go, you know,
8:13
I don't know which is the right one. I think we were better under
8:16
Trump. You know, I don't like his tweets from back in the day.
8:22
I don't know if he's still doing a whole lot of that, but
8:24
you know, I feel like I'm supposed to vote for Biden. I don't
8:28
know. I'm kind of on the fact I could flip a coin. Maybe
8:31
I'll vote for RFK Junior if he's on a ballot in the state that I'm
8:35
in. If that's where you are in all of this, maybe just just
8:41
consider. I'm not telling you what to do, but maybe just consider on
8:45
principle, voting for someone who has a justice system that is being used,
8:52
it's weaponized against them, and on the principle that it should never happen again
8:56
to anyone else. This should never ever happen again. I talked the other
9:01
day about impeaching. I talked about the fact that we, you know,
9:05
we've done this as this game back and forth. You impeach them, and
9:07
I'm going to impeach you, and I should impeach that. And it's just
9:11
it's one of those words I don't even want to hear anymore. I don't
9:16
unless we have a clear grounds for why someone should be impeached. But if
9:20
you're impeaching someone just so that you can say that they were impeached, it's
9:26
absurd and there's no chances in some of the impeachments of it actually going through.
9:35
We just went through it with my Orcus went through it twice with Donald
9:39
Trump, and it's just a weaponized thing. It needs to stop. Needs
9:45
to stop. This, needs to This should never happen again, because that's
9:48
what we're in danger of. Is this becoming a new norm. Look for
9:50
a reason. If you are the president in charge, if you have the
9:56
Justice Department under you, and you're able to weaponize things, it wouldn't work
10:01
it really. I know. I said as the hypothetical and the other in
10:05
the other direction, but the Justice Department, someone there would go to the
10:09
press. The press carries water for the Democrats. That's the only reason this
10:15
is able to play out the way that it's played out because people in the
10:18
media know, they know what's going on. They know it's a sham.
10:22
They want to see it happen because they don't want them to be president again.
10:26
And it's just ridiculous. Another quick story I want to talk about this
10:31
comes from the New York Post high school soccer game that was supposed to take
10:37
place in a public field East Harlem, New York. Seventeen year old travel
10:48
team Boys Travel Team. They show up where they're supposed to play, and
10:54
they're supposed to be playing. Let's see, this is the Manhattan Kickers supposed
10:58
to play FA Euro New York and they showed up. This was on the
11:05
fourteenth, Sunday, the fourteenth. It's been a little over a week Thomas
11:11
Jefferson Park five o'clock match, and they weren't able to play their match that
11:20
they you know, the field was reserved for them. There were about thirty
11:26
men spoke little to no English, depending on which man you were talking to,
11:33
refused to leave. They were just there playing soccer on the field.
11:39
Some have said that they were migrants from Africa, different countries in Africa.
11:46
I guess that's probably. I don't know if all of them were. But
11:50
police showed up. They wouldn't leave. Initially, apparently they approached the coaches,
11:58
I guess coached these men and said we have a match scheduled for five
12:03
o'clock on this field, And initially they were going to leave, and then
12:07
they said, no, we don't have to leave. They finally got to
12:11
a point, I guess when they were asked, I guess to see a
12:16
police asked to see a permit for the game, which isn't normal. By
12:22
the way I've played and coached in a number of games, and I have
12:28
never once been aware of my coach or any person coming up and asking me
12:33
as a coach, for a permit for a game that was about to be
12:37
played on a field where typically these kinds of games take place. So finally,
12:48
I guess they got it to a point where they were going to be
12:50
able to get the game started about thirty minutes to late. But by that
12:56
point, the parents, the coaches, and I guess even some of the
13:01
kids said, we don't feel safe out here if we start the game.
13:05
We don't know what's going to happen when we finish the game. We don't
13:09
know what's going to happen. We don't know if these men are going to
13:11
have a problem with the fact that we kicked them off the field. We
13:15
don't know if they're just going to linger around and become a problem. We
13:18
don't know if they're going to bother the parents. We don't know if they're
13:20
going to interrupt the game. It's time to call the game and just leave
13:28
this. Of course, New York has taken in more than one hundred and
13:31
seventy five thousand migrants and currently sixty seven thousand and five hundred That they're hosting,
13:43
and this is ridiculous coming in to the country. We don't know the
13:54
status, We don't know exactly the status of these people, but they come
13:58
in and they basically just say, we do whatever we want to do.
14:03
We're hearing these stories about hotels and restaurants and parks, being out in public,
14:09
not liking the food that's been given to them in situations. Now,
14:13
it's not these specific thirty guys. Would it surprise you if thirty guys who
14:18
say this is going to be our field, We're going to stay here,
14:22
you can't play your game that clearly you're supposed to be playing here could be
14:28
behavior that they might have just based on their behavior concerning the field. But
14:35
this is what they're dealing with in New York. This is what they're dealing
14:39
with in sanctuary cities and states. This is just one example. There's others,
14:46
but this is testy. This is where you got people that are saying,
14:48
I don't feel safe. Why don't you feel safe? What can you
14:54
do to make yourself feel more safe? What can you do in November to
15:00
help you to feel a little bit more safe? And I'm not just talking
15:03
about moving to Florida where things seem to be safer. I don't not talking
15:05
about moving to Georgia, where things seem to be a little safer depending on
15:11
where you are in Georgia. But there's a few states where law and orders
15:16
the thing, or if it's not, they're at least working on making it
15:20
a thing. Florida really seems to have it under control. Don't they remember
15:26
all the Haitians they were expecting to come to Florida. Man, that didn't
15:30
happen, did it. The governor down in Florida just said we're gonna have
15:33
some boats out there waiting on them, and they didn't show up. Where
15:37
were all the Haitians? I mean, did any come in? I don't
15:41
know that any came in through Florida. I'm not sure that that happened.
15:45
There was a lot of expectations for that. I don't know if any came
15:48
in. I didn't hear about any. If they did, I didn't hear
15:50
about it. I'm sure we would have heard about it. There'd been a
15:54
confrontation on the water, we would have heard about it. There's things you
15:58
can do if you don't feel safe, if you feel like man, could
16:00
this happen somewhere near me. It could not trying to play the scare tactic
16:06
game. That's not really what I do. I like to be more hopeful.
16:10
I like to be hopeful that we're going to course correct things. Next
16:15
best opportunity to do that is November. Today's show brought to you by Coloma
16:18
State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future
16:26
STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean,
16:32
they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola
16:37
Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you
16:41
can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM
16:47
fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your
16:52
degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
17:00
some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with
17:06
the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
17:10
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of
17:15
those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia. You think,
17:18
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major
17:23
city attraction that happens right here in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the Coca
17:30
Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check
17:33
out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy
17:40
Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
17:44
the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights.
17:48
You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well.
17:51
Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org.
17:56
As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
18:03
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
18:10
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
18:14
door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time
18:21
for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move
18:26
and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care
18:30
of square and that away for you, and while they're there, you can
18:33
always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make
18:37
to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
18:41
to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe
18:45
you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
18:49
your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that
18:55
you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's
18:59
in convenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
19:03
screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and you can
19:07
use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
19:12
if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
19:15
just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door
19:18
up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:22
as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than
19:26
that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't
19:30
open and you need somebody to come help, And they do those as well.

19:44
after the break, Well, you may be scrambling to get your beach body
19:57
together by next month or June. I don't know when, do I guess
20:03
Labor Day at Labor Day marks the end of summer. Memorial Day, Memorial
20:07
Day to Labor Day is kind of the unofficial summer period as far as when
20:12
people start their vacations for heading to the beach and things. I guess.
20:17
So, if you're trying to get your beach body together by Memorial Day or
20:23
by Labor Day, you know for dragon Con if that's what you're trying to
20:26
do, well Again, some say intermittent fasting might be the way to go.
20:33
I'm not an expert, I'm not a doctor. No holiday in Express
20:37
or whatever that commercial was, but they say intermittent fasting works because you eat
20:44
less. Yet another study has come out showing that intermittent fasting is a good
20:48
way to lose weight, and once again it shows the reason is that just
20:52
fewer calories. Researchers JOHNS. Hopkins divided people into two groups. When both
21:00
took in the same calories, but one eight and a small window during the
21:03
day, whereas the other eight at normal times. Both groups lost a similar
21:07
amount of weight. So it's not necessarily when, but how much an experts
21:14
point out that intermittent fasting helps you reduce your calories, then it's a good
21:18
way to diet. So really it's about calorie intake, and you know exercise.
21:26
Exercise helps with that too. You burn some calories, then you know
21:30
you can eat some more, or you know, you get a better deficit
21:36
of calories and you're probably gonna eventually lose weight. The key is having the
21:41
self control and being able to do it for a long period of time.
21:45
That's the thing that helps. And I'll just tell you this as somebody who
21:48
years ago lost a good chunk of weight to put a tat of it back
21:52
on. But you over you know since COVID, but you it really that
21:59
self control aspect of it is the thing. And if you're out cut your
22:03
food in half, eat half of it now, eat half of it later.
22:07
You don't have to quite be the couple that shares the one entree.
22:11
I mean, if you want, you could do it that way and that
22:14
would help too. But I'm a big fan of the half now half for
22:17
lunch tomorrow. That works as well. Just get you her to go box
22:21
and you'll be fine. Speaking of a going out, people tend to think
22:27
of a whiskey as being a man's drink, but it looks like women are
22:34
actually super tasters when it comes to whiskey. They pick up more of the
22:41
subtle flavors than men do, which can be helpful for distillers or managers of
22:45
high end bars. The reason, according to doctor Francis Jack of the Scotch
22:51
Whiskey Research Institute, are they hiring Research is found generally women have more taste
22:56
buds than men. The overall perception of a whiskey is actually smell, but
23:03
women having more smelling receptors helps them as well. Jack says that women have
23:08
evolved in a way that we'll be able to do safety checks of food for
23:15
their children. That's interesting, isn't it. So that't time a guy tries
23:18
to steer you away from whiskey, ladies, let him know you can actually
23:23
appreciate it more than them, or you get into a taste off I'm picking
23:27
up on a hint of fruitcake essence. Oh I've got some vanilla in there,
23:34
you know, And then play that game with him and see what he
23:37
can pick up on, or just drink your whiskey or whatever beverage you like.
23:41
Maybe that's the way to go. Maybe you don't like whiskey, maybe
23:44
you would rather have something else and just let the guy drink his whiskey and
23:48
think he's a big shot. Nothing wrong with that, right, all right?
23:52
When it comes to wildlife, as a lot of people will be hitting
23:57
maybe national parks, maybe state parks as we get into the summer vacation period,
24:10
a group of women stay away from the wildlife. That's the advice,
24:14
and especially you know, dangerous wildlife. But you shouldn't be messing with any
24:18
of them. A group of women in North Carolina were caught on video last
24:22
week pulling bear cubs from a tree so they could take selfies with them.
24:26
This happened near an apartment complex near Asheville, North Carolina, which is near
24:33
numerous forests and has a large bear population. The video was sent to wildlife
24:37
authorities and when biologist Ashley Hobbs arrived just one of the cubs was still there
24:42
and appeared to be wet and cold. It's now being cared for in a
24:47
rehab facility. The selfie takers apparently not facing any criminal charges, but Hobbs
24:52
says, we let them know how irresponsible and potentially deadly it could be for
24:56
that cub to be separated f from its mother. It could also be dangerous
25:03
to anyone messing with a bear cub. Just as a heads up. You
25:07
may not even know that mama bear is nearby, but she very well.
25:12
Maybe none of this stuff is good, none of this. Don't mess with
25:17
wildlife, especially not bears. Come on, man, that'll do it for
25:21
this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank
25:25
