  You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday, November thirty. I'm
• 0:13
  Wes, thanks for joining me. Closing out a month and really really truly
• 0:18
  on the downhill slide into Christmas, right, I mean, once it hits
• 0:23
  that twelve in the month column, we're just going to quickly zip on by,
• 0:29
  and it's going to happen very quickly. Just a reminder a couple of
• 0:33
  things I've been talking about. I'm not getting any sort of kickback or pay
• 0:38
  for it. I'm just trying to support a friend and a project that they're
• 0:44
  working on. But the Kingdom Fest is happening next weekend the eighth, ninth,
• 0:50
  and tenth in the Atlanta area, just northeast of Atlanta, really is
• 0:56
  where it's taking place. And the Kingdom Fast event is in part, at
• 1:02
  least I assume overall, it's about supporting the artists behind the scenes. I
• 1:07
  guess in total, I mean, I'm sure it's about also having a good
• 1:11
  time and celebrating movies and TV shows, and it's also a holiday event that's
• 1:17
  going on as well. And that's why I say in part but ultimately they're
• 1:21
  trying to give you a behind the scenes is straight from the description behind the
• 1:26
  scenes experience for film buffs and celebrates the crew members from makeup artists to stunt
• 1:33
  performers, ensuring everyone shares in the spotlight, and they're working on giving some
• 1:38
  money back to help out folks that are affected by the strikes that took place.
• 1:44
  The Chateau Elon is where this is taking place. Like I said,
• 1:49
  it's in the Atlanta area. It's just northeast of Atlanta, So just check
• 1:56
  it out on the Atlanta A Kingdom Fest. They've got an X account atl
• 2:04
  Kingdom Fest. You can get information on it there. But this thing's being
• 2:07
  done by a couple of people involved with a Walking Dead. There's several cast
• 2:13
  members from The Walking Dead who will be there in attendance, but Cooper Andrews,
• 2:16
  who I've known for a number of years. He and Dan Fogler are
• 2:20
  the two that are putting this event on. So good stuff. Good for
• 2:24
  them, and that's coming up next weekend and you can get your tickets and
• 2:28
  information there. Just like I said on X go to atl Kingdom Fest is
• 2:34
  the handle. You want to check out there or you follow Cooper. Smug
• 2:38
  Orange is his I guess x handle and it's also his Instagram handle, So
• 2:46
  that's one way you can find about that, plus own to remind you get
• 2:49
  your tickets for the Columbus Ballets Nutcracker performance that is coming up the following weekend.
• 2:57
  That will be the sixteenth and seventeenth a very special Mother Ginger tea party.
• 3:01
  I'll be there as Mother Ginger hosting the tea party event and limited space
• 3:07
  for that. And then that's on Saturday at lunchtime, and then the evening
• 3:13
  we have another show and then or the show I say another show, because
• 3:17
  there is a school show that we're doing for school area kids on the morning
• 3:23
  of Friday, so there'll be a special Mother Ginger tea party. Saturday at
• 3:29
  lunchtime, there's an evening Nutcracker performance with the full ballet crew and staff,
• 3:36
  and this is the full show. Then on Sunday is the matinee show.
• 3:40
  So there's the evening show on Saturday, and then there's the matinee show on
• 3:46
  Sunday. So get your tickets. Just go to Thecolumbus Ballet dot org follow
• 3:51
  the links. Don't go to a third party site. Get your tickets through
• 3:55
  the River Center and if you come to the tea party, you get a
• 3:58
  ten percent discount on your ticket for the ballet. So all that is happening,
• 4:02
  and it's happening quickly as we get closer and closer into the Christmas season.
• 4:08
  But this is sort of a boom boom boom, right. It's just
• 4:11
  there's a lot going on, and it'll be Christmas before we know it.
• 4:15
  So there you go. All right. So I want to talk about tonight
• 4:17
  in Alfaretta, Georgia, the debate that's taking place between and I've talked about
• 4:27
  this a little bit, but it's now here because it's happening today. This
• 4:30
  is something that will air on Fox Fox News and this is Sean Hannity is
• 4:36
  hosting this debate and it's between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis. And I've had
• 4:42
  concerns about it. Now. The way they're trying to market it and let
• 4:46
  it play out at this point is that this is just basically a red state,
• 4:49
  blue state governor debate. Is the way that this is sort of being
• 4:54
  built. I told you when they first made this announcement and they started talking
• 4:58
  about it, my concern about this, and I still have some concerns about
• 5:02
  this, but we're seeing something that's taking place politically with the indictments against former
• 5:12
  President Trump that are I know there are some people that if you're either just
• 5:19
  don't like Trump in general or you're a Democrat supporter, that would just say,
• 5:27
  there's some that are just going to say point blank that this is not
• 5:30
  anything other than someone that is justice is coming for him. That's what they
• 5:35
  want, That's what they want this to be. They want to say that
• 5:39
  this is justice coming around for someone and that no one should be above the
• 5:46
  law. I would think that maybe we could swallow that as a society,
• 5:53
  as a country, if one, any president before has ever faced anything like
• 5:59
  this. Okay, Yes there's been impeachments. Yes we have seen that happen
• 6:03
  a number of times. Okay, but we know that what happened with Trump's
• 6:15
  two impeachments were very much political grandstanding. It was something that they were doing
• 6:19
  to try to embarrass him, make him look bad. They wanted to say,
• 6:25
  look, he's been impeached. Look he's been impeached twice. When they
• 6:28
  saw an opportunity, and neither impeachment had much teeth to it. Neither impeachment
• 6:32
  was really going to go anywhere. They weren't going to convict him in any
• 6:35
  way, but they wanted to embarrass him. They wanted it to be something
• 6:41
  that they'd be able to hang on him after his presidency, or at least
• 6:46
  at the point of trying to run for reelection or again. Now that's one
• 6:50
  of the things that still gets brought up. While he was impeached twice,
• 6:53
  how embarrassing. So that's one thing, and that happened, and people,
• 6:58
  especially the second impeachment, it was really just a case of if they can
• 7:01
  get him on it, it might make it hard for him to run again
• 7:06
  later. I have friends who did not vote for Trump in either election that
• 7:12
  told me point blank, this is just about trying to keep him from being
• 7:15
  able to run again, and they were okay with it. And I have
• 7:18
  problems with that. But you know, people are entitled to their opinions,
• 7:21
  even if those opinions are wrong. And I say that, you know,
• 7:26
  with a laugh, because they would not feel that way if someone was coming
• 7:30
  after a candidate that they wanted to vote for. I just don't agree.
• 7:33
  I don't believe that. I remember having people that I knew that were very
• 7:41
  staunch Democrats that would tell me in the past that it would be really dangerous
• 7:46
  and really bad if Republicans had control of all three houses and that they are
• 7:51
  all three branches of government with both branches of Congress and a Supreme Court that
• 7:58
  was leaning to the right and a Republican president, And that came up.
• 8:03
  I guess when Bob Dole was running for president. I remember them telling me
• 8:07
  that you really think it's a good idea if all three of the branches are
• 8:13
  all Republican, and they would miss it. I would never if the other
• 8:16
  two were Democrat. I wouldn't vote for a Democrat president. And I know
• 8:20
  for a fact that that's not what they did when that scenario presented itself later.
• 8:26
  So I think there is a lot of hypocrisy that comes out of us
• 8:28
  when it comes to situations like this. We want to sit here and say
• 8:33
  that we would do things differently, or that we believe that it's dangerous for
• 8:37
  there to be a significant imbalance, But when it really comes down to it,
• 8:43
  that's not really what we do. That's not what we act on.
• 8:48
  There's such a hate in vitriol for Trump. There's so much just discussed venom
• 8:54
  in his direction that they're okay with anything. You can do anything at all.
• 9:00
  They have no boundaries for it. They didn't mind that the second impeachment,
• 9:05
  which had no chance at all, but it was they knew it was
• 9:07
  there to embarrass him. The first one was to embarrass him. There was
• 9:11
  no teeth to either, no chance of anything leading to a conviction. So
• 9:18
  then we get into this idea that they're going to just start one after the
• 9:24
  next indictment. Indictment they wanted to. They want to say, hey,
• 9:28
  we're going to convict this guy, and that it's important that justice comes for
• 9:33
  him, even though we know no justice is really going to come to any
• 9:37
  of the shenanigans by the Biden family. And the more we learn about that,
• 9:43
  the more we learn that there is so much corruption there. And Hunter
• 9:48
  Biden is someone who, let's be honest, you know, he himself is
• 9:54
  not in politics. He's not a former president, he's not the current president.
• 10:00
  He's the son of a president. So if we're really talking about why
• 10:05
  it's important for justice to come around, that's a case that's someone who who
• 10:09
  is there. You can smell the guilt in the air, right, Maybe
• 10:16
  other things, but there's a lot of things you can smell there. So
• 10:18
  there's a lot of corruption and there's no calls for really not on the left.
• 10:24
  It's not about justice. Then it's about well, that's people just trying
• 10:26
  to go after him because that's the president's son. They don't like the president,
• 10:30
  and that's what this all comes down to, is about not liking Trump,
• 10:35
  and these indictments are just that. It's to make it as hard as
• 10:37
  possible or to get him off of ballots. We've already seen at least one
• 10:43
  state where the attempt was made to get him off the ballot, and they
• 10:45
  said, no, that's not what we're going to do. That's not what
• 10:46
  we're doing here. We're going to give voters an opportunity, which is what
• 10:50
  should take place as voters in America. If the candidate that you want to
• 10:58
  vote for, and that the candidate who is the likely nominee for one of
• 11:05
  the two major parties, if people are calling to remove them as an option
• 11:11
  that people won't be able to vote for them, that is textbook election interference,
• 11:20
  and it's what the left is trying to do. Okay, and anybody
• 11:24
  who was unbiased, if you take off your team D glasses, your blue
• 11:31
  colored glasses, you're going to see easily that that's what's taking place. This
• 11:35
  is election interference. And if someone was trying to eliminate a candidate by and
• 11:43
  again we've not had this happen with a president before, it's not happened with
• 11:46
  a former president. And this is a current administration, the current eventual nominee
• 11:54
  for Democrats using or at least people in power, or using the Justice Department
• 12:03
  to go after its opponent. That's what this is. Nothing would make Democrats
• 12:07
  happier than to get Trump eliminated as a candidate. So who's hovering around there?
• 12:13
  Who's been the person at least back when all this started it seemed like
• 12:16
  would probably be the nominee. And I think realistically, if Trump was out
• 12:20
  of the equation, I do think Ron De Santis would be the nominee.
• 12:24
  I know there's some other candidates in there, there's other options in there,
• 12:26
  but it seems like many of the Trump supporters would shift their support to DeSantis.
• 12:33
  I don't think that they would necessarily support DeSantis head to head with Trump,
• 12:37
  and I think that's what we're seeing. But if Trump were mathematically eliminated
• 12:41
  from this through the indictments, I think it would be DeSantis, and I
• 12:46
  think that's what Democrats really want. And who then would be the Democrat nominee.
• 12:52
  Would they eventually get Biden to step aside and come in and find their
• 12:56
  slick car salesman looking candidate, And they will, and it's Gavin Newsom.
• 13:01
  And I don't think they would necessarily push Biden away with any time for anybody
• 13:07
  to be primaried. I think this is all something that would play out at
• 13:09
  the last possible minute when they need a candidate. They need somebody, and
• 13:13
  they're not gonna let it be the vice president. Kamala Harris will not be
• 13:18
  the nominee, not realistically, no chance, no chance Ron de Santis destroys
• 13:26
  Kamala Harris in an election. But you say, well, maybe maybe if
• 13:31
  Democrats could find somebody to run against him, and that seems like it would
• 13:35
  be Gavin Newsom, who has said one he hates liars and two he will
• 13:39
  not be the nominee. He has said both of those things in the same
• 13:43
  interview. I heard him say those too, I hate liars, and I
• 13:46
  will not be the nominee, the Democrat nominee for president in twenty twenty four.
• 13:52
  He has said both of those things. So if he changes any of
• 13:54
  that, you see how that plays out. That's not a good look.
• 13:58
  I hate liars. I will not be the nominee. So I feel like
• 14:03
  all of this is, this debate that's happening tonight, has been sort of
• 14:07
  set up. It's been sort of laid out for us as the two people
• 14:11
  that Democrats would really like to be the two candidates. That's what I think.
• 14:16
  That's who I think they want it to be. And I think if
• 14:18
  they if they had their way, these are the two candidates that would be
• 14:22
  in there, and they feel like they got a good shot with Newsom against
• 14:26
  DeSantis. Now I suppose part of that would depend on how the debate goes
• 14:31
  tonight. If DeSantis really cleans up against Newsom, then maybe they would say,
• 14:35
  oh, we don't want that. We know how much they hate Trump,
• 14:39
  we know how much they hate DeSantis. They do, but I think
• 14:43
  they would much rather prefer to pick this hand pick DeSantis. They know what
• 14:46
  they have in place if Trump is president again. They know what they're getting,
• 14:52
  they know who he is. I feel like they probably have a general
• 14:56
  idea of who DeSantis is, but I think they also know that if he
• 15:00
  walks in the door of the White House as president, you know those people
• 15:05
  behind the scenes, the people that are actually running things right now on the
• 15:07
  Democrat side, there's some of those people on the Republican side. Trump butted
• 15:11
  heads with them. He starts talking about the swamp. I would like to
• 15:15
  think that DeSantis wouldn't go for that, but I don't know if they know
• 15:18
  whether Dysantis would go for that. So that would be the question is whether
• 15:22
  they think they could get another puppet. Right. If they think they could
• 15:26
  have another puppet that's just gonna, you know, show up, smile,
• 15:31
  do his thing, they'd rather have Dysantis because they know they're not going to
• 15:35
  get that out of Trump. I guess I just went down a tangent.
• 15:39
  But my point is I think these are the two candidates that they'd like to
• 15:41
  see, and I think this is in some weird way, it's what It
• 15:46
  was very con and I saw a couple of commentators yesterday that were discussing this
• 15:50
  debate today and they were referring to them as the two candidates. Gavin Newsom
• 15:56
  isn't a candidate for anything yet, He's not's not a candidate, like the
• 16:00
  words came out the two candidates, they're not candidates. One is a candidate,
• 16:07
  the others a governor of California who is liked in California for some reason,
• 16:11
  even though I guess the people that ran away from California are the ones
• 16:17
  that you know, don't have a voice anymore in it, so the people
• 16:21
  that stayed behind can say that they like him. But he looks the part
• 16:25
  he sounds. The part he's very, very sneaky, is his terminology can
• 16:32
  be very sneak. He's very he's got that that it factor where he's able
• 16:37
  to say something and then sort of you know, you kind of you know,
• 16:41
  you're trying to hear it, and you're going, did he just say
• 16:42
  that? Or did he say something I'm trying to really understand, Like when
• 16:45
  he was asked point blank will you be the candidate in twenty twenty four and
• 16:49
  he said no. He didn't really kind of out right say it at first.
• 16:53
  He was very strategic with his answers before he was really pressed on it.
• 16:57
  And that's the kind of thing. I mean, it's a politician move.
• 17:00
  I know, I know it is. We'll see what happens tonight with
• 17:04
  this thing, but I do believe these are the two candidates that Democrats have
• 17:10
  tried very hard to handpick and put them in place, and I think this
• 17:14
  debate could just be maybe the beginning of their dream race next year. Today's
• 17:21
  show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring
• 17:26
  and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of
• 17:34
  all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids as school
• 17:38
  age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
• 17:41
  through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and
• 17:48
  the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you can
• 17:53
  learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSC dot org. While
• 18:02
  you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this
• 18:06
  incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of Music from Columbus State University
• 18:12
  called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get
• 18:18
  anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
• 18:21
  Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus Georgia. I mean
• 18:25
  this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium
• 18:33
  at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the
• 18:37
  Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when

• 18:47
  do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside
• 18:52
  the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do
• 18:53
  that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's cc
• 19:00
  SSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
• 19:06
  I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC
• 19:11
  dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
• 19:15
  For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
• 19:22
  regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
• 19:27
  that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
• 19:33
  of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you and While they're there,
• 19:37
  you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
• 19:41
  like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
• 19:45
  you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside
• 19:48
  door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
• 19:52
  a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
• 19:56
  insallation issue that you've got with colder, warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets
• 20:03
  in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
• 20:07
  add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and
• 20:11
  you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you
• 20:15
  know, if you like to work on your own cars in there, or
• 20:18
  maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open
• 20:22
  the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that
• 20:25
  for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing
• 20:29
  worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
• 20:33
  door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those
• 20:37
  as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three
• 20:41
  five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
• 20:48
  after the break, Well, tomorrow's the day. If you have a Google
• 21:00
  account that you haven't logged into in the past couple of years, this is
• 21:06
  your day to do it. You need to log in before tomorrow because December
• 21:10
  one is when the purge is set to take place. So if you,
• 21:15
  I guess beginning tomorrow, So if anything that you got in there, whether
• 21:21
  it's emails, or you've stored photos, or you've stored calendars, documents,
• 21:26
  whatever it is, it's all going to be deleted here soon. So you
• 21:32
  basically need to have logged in within the last two years and then you're safe.
• 21:36
  So it's probably a good idea today go through any of your outstanding Google
• 21:40
  accounts, if you have any. I don't know if you have any,
• 21:41
  you may. I've got some. I think I've logged into all of them
• 21:45
  in the last couple of weeks and I've just got a few, and largely
• 21:51
  just to store things, because it's good storage for documents and photos and files
• 21:56
  and things. But if you forget to log into one than it may get
• 22:00
  deleted. So just a heads up. Google says the purge is being done
• 22:03
  for security reasons because old and unused accounts are more likely to be compromised.
• 22:08
  So there you go. This is the day you should go ahead and get
• 22:14
  it done right away and not way too long to take care of it.
• 22:19
  A couple of recent surveys suggests that parents can be annoying. One of them
• 22:22
  found the most annoying thing one that parents do, I guess to non parents
• 22:27
  is when they slip into baby talk that irritates sixty nine percent of non parents.
• 22:32
  In another survey, seventy percent of non parents said that they can't stand
• 22:34
  when parents continually bring the conversation back to their kids. Sixty two percent say
• 22:40
  that talking to parents makes them less likely to want kids, and thirty nine
• 22:45
  percent say conversations with parents are generally unpleasant. It's almost December, as I
• 22:52
  said at the beginning of the show, so now we can shift from talking
• 22:57
  about Halloween can candy and now really start to think about Christmas candy. So
• 23:07
  according to website called the Takeout, they've listed the ten worst they're bottom ten
• 23:15
  of Christmas candy, and they say these are the candies that people do not
• 23:21
  want to eat. All right, so here we go, chocolate orange.

  I'm with you on that peppermint bark. I don't know. That's not so
• 23:30
  bad, is it? Ribbon candy, Christmas peeps, it's just the wrong
• 23:33
  season for peeps, the old fashioned hard candy mix, non peppermint candy,
• 23:40
  canes, Lifesavers, storybook, cherry cordials, reindeer corn. I think we
• 23:47
  know my stance on candy corn, and then the Christmas nougat candy. It's
• 23:51
  probably a pretty good list. I don't know about the peppermint bark. Is
• 23:52
  that really all that bad? I don't know. As you get ready for
• 23:56
  your holiday spending, if you have an R already jumped in feet first on
• 24:00
  Black Friday or Cyber Monday or whatever today is, Cyber Thursday, they probably
• 24:07
  have all kinds of just keep them going any reason. They continue the sales
• 24:11
  and keep them going well. Some experts say that setting boundaries is the best
• 24:18
  way to make sure that you do not overspend. Tough times are tough.
• 24:22
  Money's tight, inflation is real. The gas tax is back in Georgia.
• 24:30
  I guess I think it was supposed to go back today. I don't know
• 24:32
  if the governor swooped in and saved it, but anyway, so we know
• 24:36
  times are tight. So here's what the experts say that you should do.
• 24:41
  Set a budget that includes all of your holiday expenses, you're traveling, your
• 24:47
  food, and all your gifting expenses, and have a budget in place.
• 24:51
  They say, make a list. Easier to stick with your budget if you
• 24:53
  itemize all the things that you're going to buy for the holidays. Be creative.
• 24:59
  Sometimes a heartfelt but an expensive gift brings more joy than something more expensive.
• 25:03
  Start new traditions. Family and friends will support the new traditions, so
• 25:07
  a pot luck dinner, spreading out the costs, or you know, some
• 25:11
  creative gift ideas. As far as whether you're doing one of those like one
• 25:17
  of the White Elephant or whatever they call it now, and they say avoid
• 25:21
  emotional spending. Try to identify your triggers and if you recognize one walk away,
• 25:26
  that's good. That's good. Tips as you get ready for the holidays
• 25:30
  to plan it out and try to say because it's going to be rough,
• 25:34
  they say, people are going to spend a whole bunch of money this year,
• 25:38
  but a lot of people are going, I just want food for Christmas.
