No, Romney Wasn't Saying Trump Is Above the Law · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day
0:06
and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, fourth day
0:13
of June. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. I forgot my sleep
0:18
of I don't know. I was busy talking about other things, but I
0:21
forgot. It's Pride Month kicked off. Pride Month has begun. The month
0:28
of June is Pride month and it is the month for the businesses to do
0:35
the serious pandering. You can take whatever you want to take for Pride Month,
0:40
as far as what it's for, what the celebration is, any of
0:44
that. That's that. I'm a strong advocate of letting everyone do their thing.
0:50
You be you, that's you know, you live your life. I'm
0:54
a strong advocate for letting everyone live their life and being whatever person that they
1:00
want to be until it hurts someone else, until it becomes something where I'm
1:06
being asked to participate or someone who doesn't want to participate. So that's where
1:11
I draw the line on all things. I want to be able to be
1:15
me. I want you to be able to be you. I support your
1:19
ability to be you, but can we just acknowledge the fact that the businesses
1:26
in the pandering. It's ridiculous. Like the number of emails that I have
1:30
gotten in my inbox from just businesses that I have either done business with in
1:37
the past that I've had some sort of an inquiry with that I have,
1:42
you know, signed up for some sort of membership thing with them. They
1:46
send me back these things, Oh we got specials this month for whatever,
1:51
and then they got the rainbow flag on the end of it. I mean,
1:56
it's pandering month, that's what it is. This isn't the only example
2:00
of pandering. It happens in a number of circumstances, but this is one
2:04
of those months where it's all I've got friends who are a part of the
2:08
LGBTQ plus community and even they make fun of it. So it's not just
2:13
me. This isn't me being tough on anybody. It's just me pointing out
2:16
that there's this pandering moment that happens every June, and it's it's just there
2:23
for all of us to see, to witness, to experience and know that
2:28
it's there. It's going on. So happy pandering month to everyone celebrating business
2:35
owners and all that. All right, Well, it's begun the just sort
2:42
of generic laying out the talking points from the left. It's already started in
2:51
my daily life. I've already started with conversations with friends, with people that
2:58
I know, with people that I've encountered. It's already begun. The thing
3:02
that we knew would happen when, not if, but when the Trump guilty
3:08
verdict came in for his trial in New York. They call it the hush
3:16
money trial. It really wasn't what it was the bookkeeping error trial that turned
3:23
somehow into a thirty four count felony conviction. It's insanity, it's just nuts.
3:32
But I've started to encounter people, how was anybody going to vote for
3:38
this felon? Why would anybody vote for this felon? Someone said to me
3:44
yesterday, I didn't even know you could run for president if you were a
3:46
convicted felon. I mean, that's a sentiment that I understand people have,
3:54
but I do think that they need to understand that is it really a convicted
4:00
felon? If everything is stacked against someone and a severe injustice that will be
4:08
righted later in the appeals court, there's no way this conviction holds up.
4:15
It should have never happened, and we've got now Mitt Romney, who is
4:21
not a Trump supporter. He can't stand the man. They have had a
4:26
number of differences over time, and Mitt Romney has stepped in and made his
4:32
comments about the case. Basically, and I'm going to summarize it, but
4:35
he basically said, this all should not have gone to trial. This should
4:41
have been something that was handled on the side. This is something that should
4:46
have been a fine paid or whatever. And then you move on that this
4:50
was weaponizing it by doing it the way that they did it. A lot
4:54
of Americans feel that way. A lot of Americans that were independent in this
5:00
election and undecided, or we're hearing reports pol saying that people are getting pro
5:08
Trump just because they feel like this was all a sham and then stacking him
5:14
up this thirty four felony counts. This is It's ridiculous. I happen to
5:21
be at the gym this morning, and that's typically when I have a TV
5:27
in front of me that has CNN on, and I just happened to be
5:31
paying attention to conversations about the Mitt Romney comments. I don't know who the
5:36
morning host is. They've got two, they've got a woman who just looks
5:41
like she is mad at everything and everyone all the time. Last week,
5:47
I guess Friday morning, when I was at the gym, they were talking
5:51
about the verdict. It's the only time I've ever seen this woman smile.
5:55
She just looks pissed off, just constantly angry about everything. Doing interviews,
6:02
she just looks mad. I had not seen her smile until Friday when they
6:06
talked about the verdict and she get really happy. And yesterday morning when I
6:12
was at the gym, they were talking about Mitt Romney. They were talking
6:17
about the verdict and Romney's comments, and this was not this was the male
6:23
host. I don't know who he is in the mornings. I don't know
6:26
who he is, and I don't know who the guest was. Sorry,
6:29
I didn't do a whole lot of research. I didn't have a pen and
6:30
a paper with me while I was at the gym. But the comment they
6:34
were talking to some Democrat supporter, some shill, and the comment was,
6:44
hey, this is what Mitt Romney said. And the guests said, well,
6:47
apparently Mitt Romney thinks that Donald Trump is above the law. Democrats have
6:55
been singing the praises of Mitt Romney for years because he's not a Donald Trump
7:00
supporter. And I applaud Mitt Romney for in spite of the fact that he
7:05
doesn't agree with Donald Trump and that he doesn't support Donald Trump, and that
7:11
he thinks Donald Trump is a horrible human being. I support or appreciate and
7:15
support Mitt Romney's thoughts on this because I think Romney's exactly right and this isn't
7:24
someone saying that Trump is above the law. Mett Romney didn't say that at
7:28
all. He said, you know, there are ways to handle this trial
7:31
without making it a public fiasco. And the reality is, and I talked
7:38
about this yesterday, we're talking about a situation where it's done nothing but boost
7:46
support for Trump, boost donations for Trump. It's put him very much in
7:53
the driver's seat moving forward over the next months as we get closer to November,
8:00
Oh does it all play out? It still remains to be seen or
8:03
the polls accurate. That's also what we don't know. The polls have been
8:09
very wrong many many times. It's hard to know. It's hard to know
8:13
where we are. It's hard to know where things are heading over these next
8:20
few months. But what we do know is that the verdict has been helpful
8:26
for Trump at this point. It has given him more money. It has
8:31
given him, you know, more into the war chest where he is going
8:35
to be in a position where he can spend a lot. And but but
8:41
we'll see, we'll see where every bit of this plays out as we move
8:46
forward. Now, it's disappointing to me that, you know, you start
8:54
hearing it from people, well, he's a felon, can't vote for a
8:58
fellow who would vote for a felon? We all know that that's where this
9:00
was going. I told you that that's where this was all headed. This
9:03
was the strategy. This was the plan to get to that point where you
9:07
could just say he's a convicted felon, and who could possibly vote for a
9:11
convicted fela. Now, the reality is that this is not someone who clearly
9:20
is undecided. This is someone who is a pro Biden supporter, had been,
9:26
will be. In each case of people that I've talked to, one
9:31
in particular, I didn't really we haven't discussed politics, but I can tell
9:39
they don't like Trump from things that they've said, which is fine. I
9:43
don't have conversations with friends or you know, acquaintances people that I meet on
9:50
the street. I'm not an evangelical political commentator. You're not going to see
9:56
me out in public trying to tell someone face to face who they should vote
10:03
for. Have I said on this show where I think things should go?
10:07
Absolutely, I think if you support freedom, if you support what this country
10:13
stands for, if you support what the country has stood for since the beginning,
10:18
if you want to support what every soldier that's ever given their life for
10:24
what America stands for, I think you should probably not be voting for Joe
10:30
Biden. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm just telling you
10:33
that the slap in the face that is this circus, that is this political
10:37
persecution that has been going on towards the leading candidate for president in the race,
10:46
the presumptive Republican nominee, And I guess you still have to say it
10:50
that way, and the person who, by the current polling is in the
10:54
lead to win the presidency for the second time. If you support that,
11:01
it's kind of a slap in the face to people who died to go against
11:07
those things. Think about it in those terms. I love when someone says
11:11
to me, well, these are my political views. I know that people
11:16
are suffering right now and that people can't pay the bills, but ultimately,
11:20
in the long run, they'll be better off with the decisions that I make.
11:26
And I just think or they say, because people don't put it in
11:30
those specific words, but that's the message that comes through. I don't want
11:33
to pretend that I know anybody who said it that way exactly, because that
11:35
would be a ridiculous thing to say. I think it would be hard not
11:39
to punch someone who said that and was sincere about it. But think about
11:43
it in these terms. When someone says, I know the country, a
11:46
lot of people seem to be doing better four years ago. Most of the
11:50
country they could afford to eat, they could afford to go to restaurants,
11:56
they could afford their groceries. But things are looking good for me right now,
12:01
so I have to continue to vote the way that I want to vote.
12:03
I just think, what a slap in the face. This is a
12:07
time when we're able to do something to help out other citizens. This is
12:11
a time when we're able to do something to help other people. Other people
12:16
are struggling, people that weren't struggling five years ago, people who weren't struggling.
12:24
Before COVID, people that were actually thriving, and they had more income
12:28
in their family budgets, They had more money in the bank. They weren't
12:35
just spending like crazy with credit cards just to get by. They were able
12:39
to afford things that they weren't able to afford last weekend when they went to
12:43
the grocery store. But to hell with them. Things looking great for me,
12:50
And I want to vote this way because environment. Yeah, people are
12:54
struggling to eat. Yeah, families are struggling. You see more people on
12:58
the street corner now than ever, just standing out there asking for money.
13:05
I mean, I'm not the only one noticing this, am I They're everywhere.
13:07
There's people everywhere just standing there asking for money. Is it a reflection
13:13
on where we are economically since COVID? I think so. Is it a
13:16
reflection on kind of where we are as a society right now and the fact
13:22
that people just they want help. Are they trying to beat a system?
13:28
You don't know individually what we got going on there with each individual person.
13:31
I have noticed by the way that more and more of the people on the
13:35
street corners have dogs. That's the latest you want to see, like you
13:41
know, you got the reels on social media, whether it's Instagram or on
13:48
YouTube or whatever, you got the or Facebook, they got the reels and
13:52
they'll go, here's the latest side hustle. Here's how you can make five
13:56
hundred dollars a day for doing nothing. Those kind of things, And now
14:01
I feel like there should be a reel now that says, here's how you
14:05
can make five hundred dollars a day if we're doing nothing. You stand on
14:07
a street corner and get a dog and you hold a sign Like that seems
14:13
to be what's out there? Is that real? Does that real exist?
14:16
Is that floating around out there telling people how to earn money? You got
14:20
to get you a dog. You got to get a dog, and you
14:24
got to get like a tiny little container for them to have food, or
14:28
you just throw the food on the ground next to the dog that's not even
14:31
eating it, and then you got your sign help us out. And I'm
14:35
not mocking anyone. I'm just pointing out the fact that it does seem that
14:41
more and more, it's gotten to where almost all of the people that I
14:45
see that are panhandling, they have a dog. Now that's got to be
14:50
the hack. That's got to be the thing where you go, oh,
14:50
this is gonna boost the money, and this is going to help us out.
14:54
This is gonna get us a little bit more. Again, not mocking
14:56
people who are less fortunate. It's not what I'm doing. I'm talking about
15:01
the business people that are doing this. The business people that this is that
15:05
like when they finish up and they go get in their Mercedes and they drive
15:09
home. Those are the people I'm talking about with their dog. They drive
15:13
home, go have a shower, clean up, you know, go out
15:18
to eat whatever it is. Anyway, my point is, if you're not
15:22
willing to help out fellow citizens, you're not willing to help out people that
15:26
are struggling right now, maybe it's time to put your If politics is your
15:33
religion, maybe it's time to put that aside and just think what can I
15:37
do to help out citizens that are struggling right now? You know what you
15:39
can do. You cannot vote for the same person who made it this way.
15:45
You can avoid that might have two options. I'm not telling you who
15:50
to vote for. I'm just telling you there's ways that you can make it
15:54
a little bit better. You can make it a little bit better for everybody.
15:58
And now we've got this scenario where you can continue to vote for a
16:04
party that has spit in the face of the freedoms that we expect, and
16:10
we get told, oh, no, no, no, no no.
16:14
The Republicans are the ones that are against democracy. If Donald Trump wins,
16:18
then democracy dies. Does democracy die when one of the two political parties decides
16:29
that they don't want to let people have an option that they want. Does
16:33
democracy die when they don't trust you to make the right decision with your vote,
16:40
They want to eliminate or they want to I don't know, Tampa.
16:42
With an election, get it to a situation where you say, oh,
16:47
it's a convicted felon, Maybe they shouldn't even be running. Maybe this felony
16:52
situation should make them ineligible, or maybe the fact that they're a convicted felon
16:57
means that nobody should vote for him. That's how democracy dies. Democracy dies
17:03
when you attack your political opponent in a trial in a case that, as
17:11
Mitt Romney said, could have been handled a lot differently, could have been
17:15
handled in a much better way, could have been something that would have avoided
17:19
a whole lot of this sham. And again it could have been handled the
17:22
way it was handled for Barack Obama, the way it was handled for Hillary
17:26
Clinton, the way it's been handled for others over the years. But that's
17:30
two. That's two that's had bookkeeping issues. That's two that have had and
17:36
that's the most that's the most toned down way to say it. Bookkeeping issues.
17:45
They've had bookkeeping issues. They paid fines, they moved on, right,
17:49
They paid fines, and they moved on. Democrats want to put Trump
17:53
at Riker's Island. They want to lock him up. They want to take
17:57
away his Secret Service detail and put him in prison. That's what they want
18:03
to do. They want to just put him in a cold, dark cell
18:07
with all the other prisoners and hope that he gets shanked. I guess I
18:10
don't know what their hope is. I don't know what their their intentions are.
18:12
Take secret Service away from him. What you can honor the people who
18:19
fought and died for freedoms. You can honor the people who fought and gave
18:26
their lives. Go back all the way to the American Revolution, Go all
18:30
the way back to the people, not even the soldiers, go back to
18:32
the people who first came here and thought We're going to make a better life
18:36
first for ourselves and then our children and grandchildren and great great grandchildren. And
18:41
now here we are anyone who did that. Think of the families of soldiers
18:47
who died fighting for freedoms. What an insult it is to think that you
18:52
could prosecute the leading candidate for president and just just slap a felony conviction.
18:59
Third before felony conviction, think back to when they were just let's throw some
19:03
impeachments at him. Let's throw an impeachment one. All right, he's been
19:07
impeached. Ha ha, that'll sting. Let's throw another one at him.
19:10
No president's ever been impeached twice. Oh, you're never going to get a
19:12
conviction. It doesn't matter. We just want to stack him up. We
19:17
want to have two impeachments. Okay, go ahead, Let's give him thirty
19:22
four felony counts for a bookkeeping error. Let's get him as in the Statute
19:26
of limitations right now. Eh, We're gonna come up with some other way
19:30
to do it. We're not really worried about the ultimate outcome, even if
19:34
he wins on appeal. We're just worried about labeling him a felon before the
19:40
election. That's all we want. You can honor those people. You can
19:45
honor the families of the people who died for freedoms, who died for this
19:51
country, for this idea that's this country, by not voting for the people
19:55
who think that that's okay. Today's show brought to you by Coloma State Universities

20:53
things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is
20:57
this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city

21:27
You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming
21:30
Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
21:36
Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that
21:41
it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought
21:48
to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door
21:52
needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
22:00
It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and
22:04
have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
22:10
square and that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
22:12
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
22:17
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
22:21
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
22:25
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
22:29
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've
22:33
got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:40
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
22:42
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
22:47
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you
22:52
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
22:55
a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and
22:57
not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
23:02
and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
23:04
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
23:10
you need somebody to come help, And they do those as well. Seven
23:14
oh six thry five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty
23:18
five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the
23:23
break, we all know about the five second rule. We've probably all suspected
23:38
that the five second rule isn't really a real thing, right, And if
23:45
you're from another planet, another country, you're from a family that just said
23:48
I'm not going to eat food off the floor, maybe you don't know the
23:52
five second rule. But this idea that if you drop food on the floor
23:56
and you can pick it up within five seconds and you can eat it,
24:00
because they say it would take five seconds for any kind of germs or bacteria
24:08
to get on the food, so it's safe for five whole seconds, all
24:15
right, Well it's uh, of course it's not real. No, as
24:18
soon as food hits the floor, it can pick up germs and bacteria.
24:22
Doctors say there's no recommended safe time for food to be consumed after it has
24:27
been on the floor. According to doctor Kenneth Brown, bacteria can transfer to
24:36
food almost immediately upon contact and it doesn't matter what kind of food it is.
24:42
And basically you drop it on the floor, you pick it up.
24:45
Doesn't mean you're automatically going to get sick, but you should understand that if
24:52
your immune system isn't prepared for it and it does touch some kind of germer
24:56
bacteria, yeah you can get sick. Five second rule is not a real
25:02
thing. Now. If you feel badly about dropping the food and you go
25:04
but that was my last OREO and I'd like to eat it, then that's
25:07
your decision. You're able to do that. If that's what you choose,
25:12
no one is going to stop you. And I am an advocate for you.
25:17
Be you. You do exactly what it is that you want to do
25:22
right, you live your life. You be you. Just don't force other
25:27
people to participate, and don't do anything to hurt them. I've said it
25:33
once on this show. I've said it twice at least maybe even three times
25:38
in this particular episode. All Right, it's June, and I know this
25:45
is not it's just really starting to get hot here. It just it's starting
25:52
to get well. Gosh, our first referenced to pumpkin spice is in the

air. There's our first pumpkin spice conversation happening as of June, and that's
26:11
not usually it usually happens much closer to fall, but it's happening. Eminem's
26:18
is gonna be introducing a pumpkin pie flavor, Eminem's from the Mars Company,
26:26
and they say they're gonna blend pumpkin spice flavors with milk chocolate shell. No
26:30
release has been announced yet for the fall candy, but they say it will
26:33
be out in time for Halloween, so they're already starting to promote. Doesn't
26:40
mean it's available, doesn't mean you can get it, doesn't mean you expect
26:42
to see it everywhere, just know Mars is. Basically, it's one of
26:48
those questions. Radio stations go through this when they say when is too early
26:52
to start playing the Christmas music on the radio, And some people say that
26:56
you can never do it, orly like it's never to her do it before
27:00
Halloween if you got to just do what you gotta do, And then some
27:04
people say, no, no, no, I don't want to hear it
27:06
till after Thanksgiving because I want to make sure that Thanksgiving gets it to do,
27:11
you know, with all of those Thanksgiving songs. There's the Adam Sandler
27:15
one, and I mean that's really it, you know, it's a stretch
27:18
for any of There's others that have the word thank you in it or thanks,
27:23
but they're not really But anyway, So is it too early? Is
27:29
June too early to be talking about pumpkin spice? Probably? But it's happening,
27:34
It's there, it's out there, So get ready, eminem fans.
27:38
How often do you change your bed sheets? Do you do it weekly,
27:41
monthly, just as necessary? Well? According to a survey from Mattress Advisory,
27:48
the average American changes their sheets once every twenty four days. Some may
27:52
be shocked to learn that people don't watch their sheets more often, especially when
27:56
the experts say we should do it weekly. Doctor Jason Singing, a physician
28:02
in Virginia, says from a medical and hygienic standpoint, it really should be
28:06
once a week because sheets accumulate sweat, dirt, and oil, which invites
28:12
more micro organisms. Doctor Singing even suggests washing all of your bedding, including
28:17
pillow covers, and he suggests showering at night right before going to bed to
28:22
minimize the possibility of bringing dirt into your bed. Wash your sheets more frequently,
28:30
and wash yourself before you go to bed. That's my takeaway. That'll
28:34
do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and
28:37
patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
