Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:05
Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Monday morning, thirty, first day of March, Final day of March.
0:16
Speaker 2: I'm Wes, thanks for joining me April Fools Eve. You've
0:20
Speaker 2: been warned. I won't be playing any games or shenanigans,
0:24
Speaker 2: but you're gonna get those occasional people out there that
0:27
Speaker 2: are gonna, oh, I'm gonna try to trick you on
0:32
Speaker 2: what's going on. I always hated that. You know, I've
0:35
Speaker 2: been in radio and broadcasting for a long time, and
0:38
Speaker 2: in the very early days, we would get told, oh,
0:41
Speaker 2: we're gonna do some kind of April Fool's Day prank,
0:45
Speaker 2: and inevitably I was like, this is stupid. I mean,
0:49
Speaker 2: isn't this dumb? I mean, I get it. I understand
0:51
Speaker 2: the notion of April Fool's Day and it can be
0:55
Speaker 2: a fun day for pranking, but I don't know. I
0:57
Speaker 2: just always thought it was a silly thing to do
0:58
Speaker 2: on the radio. And then we would tell our listeners, Hey,
1:02
Speaker 2: we're not going to do that to you, and they
1:05
Speaker 2: just assumed that that meant we were going to do it.
1:07
Speaker 2: But we were trying to keep some credibility, and then
1:09
Speaker 2: we had other stations in the building that we're using
1:11
Speaker 2: our station to help with their prank that they were pulling,
1:14
Speaker 2: and just drove me crazy. No, flashing your lights at
1:19
Speaker 2: a red light doesn't make it change. When you're sitting
1:22
Speaker 2: at a red light, flashing your lights doesn't do anything
1:24
Speaker 2: for it. I think people have stopped, but there was
1:27
Speaker 2: a while where people believe that because we were spreading
1:29
Speaker 2: that on our stations as an April Fool's prank. But anyway,
1:33
Speaker 2: here we are. You've been warned heads up for people
1:36
Speaker 2: for tomorrow. And this isn't me telling you I'm not
1:38
Speaker 2: going to prank you just so that I can prank you.
1:40
Speaker 2: That's not it at all.
1:44
Speaker 1: Ah.
1:45
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into a couple of things. I
1:46
Speaker 2: want to talk a little bit about religion. We're into
1:50
Speaker 2: this beginning of the week, and I know some of
1:52
Speaker 2: you were on maybe on vacation already, some of you
1:56
Speaker 2: have just gotten back from vacation and you're getting back
1:58
Speaker 2: to work, depending on when you're break. Was many in
2:01
Speaker 2: our area starting spring break this week, so maybe you're
2:07
Speaker 2: listening elsewhere, and if you are, I appreciate that very much.
2:10
Speaker 2: I always like to look and see where we start
2:13
Speaker 2: to get listens from different places. We don't we do.
2:18
Speaker 2: We do get a lot of listeners in throughout the Southeast,
2:22
Speaker 2: and we get some spread out around. We get listeners
2:24
Speaker 2: in just about every state, which I appreciate that wherever
2:27
Speaker 2: you're listening, there's certain areas where we can know we
2:30
Speaker 2: have noticeable bumps if people are traveling a couple here
2:34
Speaker 2: and there is not a big deal. But this will
2:36
Speaker 2: be a week where we'll get a lot of bumps
2:38
Speaker 2: in Florida. We got some last week, and we'll get
2:40
Speaker 2: some more down in Florida, I'm sure this week, or
2:44
Speaker 2: maybe up into over to Savannah, people doing that kind
2:51
Speaker 2: of trip, so anyway up into the Carolinas and things
2:55
Speaker 2: like that. So I saw a little bumps last week.
2:57
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see some more this week. I don't know,
2:59
Speaker 2: but we'll definitely only see some more in Florida. So
3:03
Speaker 2: we're getting into the first day of the work week
3:06
Speaker 2: for this week and the day after Sunday. And it's
3:11
Speaker 2: something that's been thinking about, just concerning religion and faiths.
3:16
Speaker 2: Occasionally I open up about these things here on the show.
3:20
Speaker 2: I like to share some of my experiences. I think
3:22
Speaker 2: it's important that you understand my foundations for some of
3:28
Speaker 2: the things that I say, and the foundations for the
3:32
Speaker 2: things that the way that I tell you that I vote,
3:34
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you that you can't, you know, be
3:38
Speaker 2: a really I'm not saying that a religious person has
3:40
Speaker 2: to vote a certain way. That's not it at all.
3:44
Speaker 2: I do feel like the way that we were intended
3:50
Speaker 2: to be on earth and to function as human beings,
3:55
Speaker 2: as children of God, was that we were to govern
3:57
Speaker 2: ourselves and not have someone governing for us. That was
4:01
Speaker 2: the intention, and that's a big part of why I
4:04
Speaker 2: am a conservative. God could have taken away free will
4:08
Speaker 2: from us and did not right. He never had to
4:13
Speaker 2: allow us to have free will. He didn't have to
4:17
Speaker 2: do that, but he did because it makes it more
4:20
Speaker 2: important when you do the right thing. It makes it
4:23
Speaker 2: more important when you do make the right choices, especially
4:26
Speaker 2: the big choice that we're supposed to make. And I
4:30
Speaker 2: think that that's a big part of why I think
4:33
Speaker 2: it's important that we the way that our founders intended
4:36
Speaker 2: us as a country was to be people who were
4:40
Speaker 2: focused on governing ourselves with that Christian morality behind it.
4:45
Speaker 2: But anyway, I like, I don't necessarily want to talk
4:50
Speaker 2: specifically about that. What I want to reflect on a
4:52
Speaker 2: little bit is the fact that we have, you know,
4:56
Speaker 2: a lot of people that say, well, I can be
4:58
Speaker 2: a moral person without being a religious person, And I
5:05
Speaker 2: kind of want to touch a little bit on that today.
5:07
Speaker 2: And there's a few things that come into play with that.
5:10
Speaker 2: The first question that I always ask when someone tells
5:13
Speaker 2: me I can be a moral person without being a
5:16
Speaker 2: religious person, I don't have to believe in God to
5:19
Speaker 2: be a moral person. And okay, but why right? Why
5:26
Speaker 2: would you? Why would you make those choices when in reality, ultimately,
5:32
Speaker 2: if you don't have something to worry about in life,
5:38
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about. And I'm not specifically
5:40
Speaker 2: speaking about even even the afterlife. The people who believe
5:44
Speaker 2: in karma and things like that. I mean, those are
5:48
Speaker 2: things that would ultimately make someone say maybe I shouldn't
5:53
Speaker 2: do this. But I'm talking about the people who don't
5:56
Speaker 2: believe in anything. I'm talking about the people who have nothing.
6:00
Speaker 2: They think, you know, it's a dirt nap in the end,
6:03
Speaker 2: and that's it. And I just I don't understand what
6:07
Speaker 2: would possess you to try to not ultimately, at your core,
6:14
Speaker 2: be selfish, because I don't I mean, if this is
6:19
Speaker 2: really and truly a you know, survival of the fittest
6:22
Speaker 2: kind of world that we're living in, if this is ultimately,
6:28
Speaker 2: you know, about hey, continuing your bloodline right as a species,
6:35
Speaker 2: then I would think that the goal should be just
6:38
Speaker 2: do whatever you want. I'm not advocating for it. I
6:40
Speaker 2: don't think people should live that way. I don't think
6:43
Speaker 2: people should live devoid of a moral compass, a true
6:46
Speaker 2: moral compass and not just one that they've just now
6:50
Speaker 2: you can you certainly are capable of living a life
6:55
Speaker 2: without any sort of belief and a higher power of
6:57
Speaker 2: any kind. And you're capable of doing that while also
7:03
Speaker 2: you know, living and trying to be a good person.
7:06
Speaker 2: I just don't know why someone would. That's ultimately my question.
7:11
Speaker 2: And it comes up from time to time, and we've talked,
7:13
Speaker 2: I've done other shows about this topic, but there's one
7:16
Speaker 2: that I kind of want to kind of steer into
7:20
Speaker 2: a little bit. And this is something that's been on
7:21
Speaker 2: my mind. It's been on my line since yesterday, and
7:24
Speaker 2: it's been on my mind really for a few days,
7:28
Speaker 2: and it kind of ties into this. And I've also
7:31
Speaker 2: talked about how I think that in many ways the
7:36
Speaker 2: religion void for some people has been filled by things
7:41
Speaker 2: like climate change, or has been filled by well, I'm
7:45
Speaker 2: a science person, not a religious person, I am, you
7:51
Speaker 2: know any No, I'm a organic food person. I mean
7:56
Speaker 2: that's a religion for some people. They're so die hard
8:00
Speaker 2: to certain things. I'm a vegan, and that becomes the
8:03
Speaker 2: focus of where all of their energy goes. We've talked
8:08
Speaker 2: about that as well. And believe me, the climate people
8:12
Speaker 2: screaming about the end of the world and screaming about
8:16
Speaker 2: how you know, we're all going to die and it's
8:18
Speaker 2: going to happen in twelve years and then it doesn't happen,
8:20
Speaker 2: and then we're going to die in twelve year and
8:21
Speaker 2: then it doesn't happen. And you know, those are those
8:25
Speaker 2: prophets on the street screaming about religion and screaming about
8:28
Speaker 2: you better repent now. And it makes me think of
8:33
Speaker 2: what's the girl's name? How dare you right? That girl?
8:39
Speaker 2: It's this kind of the street preacher, isn't it. I mean,
8:42
Speaker 2: isn't that what that is? Anyway? So there's that, okay,
8:47
Speaker 2: And I'm not even necessarily talking about that right, I'm
8:51
Speaker 2: talking about the people who say I don't have a
8:58
Speaker 2: faith per se, but I believe I can be a
9:01
Speaker 2: good person, and I believe that I can live my
9:04
Speaker 2: life in a way that allows me to be a
9:06
Speaker 2: good person and to do the right thing. And I
9:09
Speaker 2: think that that is definitely being reflected now in our society.
9:13
Speaker 2: That is being reflected and very evident in what's going
9:19
Speaker 2: on around the country, because what we have now is
9:25
Speaker 2: a large chunk of American citizens who have put their
9:32
Speaker 2: politics and political leaders into the place of religious leaders,
9:38
Speaker 2: and they're being told by political leaders, by people in
9:44
Speaker 2: the media what their calls to action are. They're not
9:48
Speaker 2: turning to the pope. They're not turning to their minister,
9:53
Speaker 2: they're not turning to their priest. They're not turning even
9:57
Speaker 2: to Buddha, turning to a politician that's supposed to be
10:06
Speaker 2: their guide along this journey to tell them what they're
10:09
Speaker 2: supposed to do and not supposed to do. And we're
10:12
Speaker 2: seeing the lawlessness that's taking place again. We went through
10:17
Speaker 2: this in twenty twenty. We saw the cities being burned
10:20
Speaker 2: to the ground, government buildings being taken over by people
10:24
Speaker 2: and politicians who were supposed to be kind of the
10:27
Speaker 2: people they were doing this for, refused to tell them
10:30
Speaker 2: to stop. Some did, but many Democrat politicians during twenty
10:36
Speaker 2: twenty saw this as an opportunity to let the terror
10:40
Speaker 2: ultimately have some sort of impact and shaping of the
10:44
Speaker 2: way that the already afraid we were already afraid COVID
10:48
Speaker 2: was going on. There were a lot of people scared.
10:50
Speaker 2: People were hiding under their beds, people were hiding in
10:52
Speaker 2: their masks, people were hiding everywhere. They didn't know what
10:56
Speaker 2: to do. We had a presidential candidate who ultimately won
10:59
Speaker 2: the election, who hid, I mean, hid under the bed,
11:06
Speaker 2: hid in the basement, hid wherever you want to say it,
11:08
Speaker 2: but didn't, you know, didn't go out and do public
11:12
Speaker 2: appearances as much as possible, did press conferences that were
11:16
Speaker 2: all set up in stage where the questions were teed
11:20
Speaker 2: up for him ahead of time, so that we couldn't
11:23
Speaker 2: know how how much his cognition was inadequate for doing
11:30
Speaker 2: the job. So now we have the same sort of
11:34
Speaker 2: thing going on. We've got people that are destroying people's cars.
11:39
Speaker 2: They're destroying the charging stations for electric cars. Something that
11:43
Speaker 2: this same group of people five, ten, twenty years ago
11:47
Speaker 2: were screaming, if only we could have electric vehicles, if
11:50
Speaker 2: only we had something that would stop us from using
11:52
Speaker 2: fossil fuels, if only we had some way to make
11:56
Speaker 2: a sustainable, functional electric vehicle. And then someone came along
12:01
Speaker 2: and figured out a way to do it, and no
12:03
Speaker 2: Elon Musk didn't when he bought Tesla. There were no employees,
12:09
Speaker 2: there were no vehicles, there wasn't a prototype, there was nothing.
12:13
Speaker 2: This was all something that happened when he was there.
12:15
Speaker 2: People like to spread that around as if that's important somehow.
12:18
Speaker 2: But as far as sustainability goes, he was a hero
12:21
Speaker 2: from the very beginning. As far as his sustainability, when
12:24
Speaker 2: it comes to launching rockets and reusing the boosters, he
12:27
Speaker 2: should still be a hero. For some reason, he's not. Well,
12:31
Speaker 2: we know what the reason is. He supported Donald Trump
12:34
Speaker 2: for president. He didn't want to go into World War
12:37
Speaker 2: three as all of the tensions around the world were
12:40
Speaker 2: building and mounting. He didn't want to see the end
12:43
Speaker 2: of the United States. He didn't want to see basically
12:46
Speaker 2: the bottom drop out when it came to our national
12:49
Speaker 2: debt and inflation and all the issues that we were
12:53
Speaker 2: dealing with so he stepped in and decided to get involved.
12:57
Speaker 2: He said, finally it was after Trump was shot in
12:59
Speaker 2: the year and that's when he decided, I'm going to
13:02
Speaker 2: get involved in the selection. I need to do that.
13:06
Speaker 2: And he publicly said in a message on then Twitter
13:10
Speaker 2: that he didn't get more conservative liberals moved the line,
13:15
Speaker 2: and it then put him on the right side of
13:17
Speaker 2: the line because the line, the middle line moved to
13:20
Speaker 2: the left. So now as people are destroying personal property
13:26
Speaker 2: that belongs to people who have in the past at
13:29
Speaker 2: some point bought a vehicle that's associated with a company
13:33
Speaker 2: owned by Elon Musk, they're destroying them. And politicians are
13:37
Speaker 2: having microphones put in their face, Folks on the left
13:39
Speaker 2: being asked questions like you know, what do you say
13:42
Speaker 2: to those people? I don't have anything to say to
13:44
Speaker 2: those people. They're refusing to tell them to stop, because again,
13:49
Speaker 2: terrorism has become a method of politics in our country.
13:52
Speaker 2: If people can be afraid to stand up and say
13:56
Speaker 2: that they support this president or they support the Republican Park,
14:01
Speaker 2: it might keep them from recruiting more people to do so,
14:04
Speaker 2: it might keep them from ultimately winning more elections. Right,
14:10
Speaker 2: this has become another aspect of this religion that we're in.
14:15
Speaker 2: And if you don't have a solid moral compass, if
14:18
Speaker 2: you don't have something to root you in what's right
14:22
Speaker 2: and wrong, it can lead you down a path that
14:25
Speaker 2: says it's okay to do these things in the name
14:30
Speaker 2: of what I believe is right, which is my politics.
14:34
Speaker 2: See when we talk about the importance of faith, the
14:39
Speaker 2: importance of believing in a higher power, when it comes
14:42
Speaker 2: to having your moral center and your moral compass, it
14:47
Speaker 2: starts with things like, you know the basics, Murder is bad.
14:54
Speaker 2: Assassinating the person that runs a healthcare company is bad,
15:00
Speaker 2: and it's despicable. And if you're supporting it, and you're
15:03
Speaker 2: handing love notes secretly with the help of guards to
15:07
Speaker 2: the guy who murdered the head of a healthcare company,
15:12
Speaker 2: you don't have a moral compass, or you do, but
15:15
Speaker 2: it's very very off. You have a mental health issue,
15:21
Speaker 2: and you have one if you're supporting the person for
15:24
Speaker 2: murdering someone in the street, If you think it's okay
15:28
Speaker 2: to shoot a presidential candidate during a rally, trying to
15:34
Speaker 2: shoot him in the head, barely missing and only hitting
15:38
Speaker 2: him in the ear, which I know is part of
15:39
Speaker 2: the head. Yeah, maybe you do need a higher power
15:43
Speaker 2: to be part of your moral compass, because again, the
15:47
Speaker 2: whole not murdering thing is important, not stealing going into
15:52
Speaker 2: Amazon stores places owned by Jeff Bezos and saying, well,
15:57
Speaker 2: if I can't steal directly from Elon, I'm going to
16:00
Speaker 2: steal from another billionaire. See that's where you need that
16:04
Speaker 2: moral compass. That's where you need a real moral compass,
16:06
Speaker 2: and not one that just says I'm looking out for me. See,
16:10
Speaker 2: that's behavior that makes sense to me. For someone who
16:13
Speaker 2: doesn't believe in a higher power, that behavior makes more
16:17
Speaker 2: sense to me. So don't tell me that it's not
16:22
Speaker 2: important to believe in a higher power for the purposes
16:26
Speaker 2: of having your being morally centered. You've got people right
16:31
Speaker 2: now all over the country justifying these insane behaviors in
16:35
Speaker 2: the name of But this is what's right, and the
16:41
Speaker 2: people that I look to for guidance won't tell me
16:44
Speaker 2: that it's wrong, So I'm going to continue to do it.
16:47

Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
19:20
Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some

Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
19:38
Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
19:42
Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
19:45
Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:47
Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
19:49
Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
19:52
Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
19:55
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
19:57
Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
20:00
Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
20:03

Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right
20:14
Speaker 2: after the break. All right, so I told you we're
20:25
Speaker 2: not doing April Fools jokes tomorrow. This is not an
20:28
Speaker 2: April Fool's joke. The day before basically, basically they're they're
20:35
Speaker 2: launching a new two and one manual breast pump the
20:40
Speaker 2: folks at Freda so baby brand Freda will be offering
20:45
Speaker 2: breast milk flavored ice cream to go along with this
20:49
Speaker 2: new breast pump. They're offering up he yeah, the ice
20:56
Speaker 2: cream will be This is part of the pitch. The
21:00
Speaker 2: ice cream will be a pitch perfect representation of the sweet, creamy,
21:03
Speaker 2: nutrient pat goodness we've all wanted to try but I
21:06
Speaker 2: have been afraid to, and will include some of its
21:10
Speaker 2: same nutrients including fats, omega three, brain fuel carbs, energy
21:15
Speaker 2: boosting lactose, important vitamins like iron, calcium, vitamin B D
21:20
Speaker 2: and zinc, plus lots of H two O for hydration.
21:24
Speaker 2: Coming from the company's press release, fittingly, it won't be
21:29
Speaker 2: available for about nine months seems about right, but the
21:34
Speaker 2: company's website is offering you a chance to sign up
21:39
Speaker 2: for updates so you can get it as soon as
21:40
Speaker 2: it's available. It's freeda Frida dot com. I'll just leave
21:49
Speaker 2: it for the folks that want to try it. It
21:51
Speaker 2: doesn't sound interesting to me. I'm not planning to try it.
21:56
Speaker 2: If there's a large sum of money involved. I suppose
21:59
Speaker 2: I could be convinced, but it would be a large
22:02
Speaker 2: sum of money. And if you would like to offer
22:06
Speaker 2: that large sum of money and also purchase the breast
22:10
Speaker 2: milk ice cream, then we can have a conversation. I
22:14
Speaker 2: suppose hey. Bill Gates predicts that in the next ten
22:17
Speaker 2: years will be working just two to three days a
22:20
Speaker 2: week because AI will be doing most jobs. He says,
22:24
Speaker 2: if you zoom out, the purpose of life is not
22:27
Speaker 2: just to do jobs. According to Gates, more leisure time
22:31
Speaker 2: does sound good, But if AI's doing all the work,
22:38
Speaker 2: where's the money gonna come from. Oh, that's for the
22:40
Speaker 2: government to give it to us. I suppose I don't
22:44
Speaker 2: know where it comes from because the government only gets
22:47
Speaker 2: it from us. Right. Sounds like we are potentially headed
22:52
Speaker 2: in a really precarious direction. Doesn't sound good?
22:58
Speaker 1: Does?
22:58
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound great at all? Sough. So, if you
23:06
Speaker 2: can imagine a world where bosses pay their employees as
23:08
Speaker 2: much as possible, according to psychologists and author Adam Grant,
23:14
Speaker 2: it's not just a fantasy, it's a smart business strategy.
23:17
Speaker 2: Grant believes that paying employees really well can benefit employers.
23:21
Speaker 2: He says, because higher paying, higher paid salaries lead to happier,
23:24
Speaker 2: more loyal workers who stick around longer, reducing turnover costs
23:28
Speaker 2: and boosting productivity. According to Gallup, he's correct. Replacing an
23:33
Speaker 2: employee can cost a company up to two times what
23:36
Speaker 2: that worker made, and when employees are paid well, they
23:39
Speaker 2: call in sick less, they're more productive and ultimately are
23:42
Speaker 2: more profitable. Yeah. I am a strong advocate for that,
23:53
Speaker 2: especially when it comes to productivity in things. But the
23:57
Speaker 2: question that ultimately comes up, and sadly, what many companies
24:00
Speaker 2: do now is they say, this person left, we're not
24:05
Speaker 2: going to replace them, We're going to let somebody else
24:07
Speaker 2: do their job along with their current job. I used
24:10
Speaker 2: to work with someone who was I don't want to
24:15
Speaker 2: be mean, but he was the jackass who would raise
24:18
Speaker 2: his hand every time and go ooh, I'll do it, ooh,
24:21
Speaker 2: I'll do it. And then you know, they wouldn't even
24:23
Speaker 2: look to replace the person. And then that same person
24:26
Speaker 2: complained all the time about all the work they had
24:28
Speaker 2: to do, and it was ridiculous. So I'm not going
24:31
Speaker 2: to tell you who it was. A woman in Germany
24:33
Speaker 2: isn't about letter advanced age keeper from doing what she loves.
24:37
Speaker 2: She loves to have kids, Alexandria Hildebrandt gave birth to
24:41
Speaker 2: her tenth child at the age of sixty six, insisting
24:44
Speaker 2: she did it naturally without the use of any fertility drugs.
24:48
Speaker 2: Philip Her baby boy was delivered via c section at
24:51
Speaker 2: a healthy seven pounds thirteen ounces, welcomed by his nine siblings,
24:55
Speaker 2: who range from two to forty six. She said, a
25:00
Speaker 2: big family is not only something wonderful, but above all,
25:03
Speaker 2: it's important for that you're raising the children properly. That's
25:08
Speaker 2: not having a big family necessarily because the forty six
25:11
Speaker 2: year old probably doesn't still live at home. It's a
25:13
Speaker 2: little bit different than the typical large family. I think
25:17
Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
25:19
Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
