Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / Sounds a Little Insurrectiony to Me
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West
- 0:05Speaker 1: Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty eighth day of July. I'm Wes, thanks
- 0:13Speaker 2: for joining me. Didn't mention the fact that Lebron James
- 0:22Speaker 2: had made his latest taking his talents to Philadelphia latest
- 0:29Speaker 2: ring chasing effort. I think there's a point where you
- 0:35Speaker 2: have to consider a few things when you talk about
- 0:40Speaker 2: best player ever in a sport. And I think that
- 0:44Speaker 2: you could make a case that if someone is on
- 0:46Speaker 2: a couple of teams and win championships, that that makes
- 0:50Speaker 2: a strong case for them. They were able to do
- 0:52Speaker 2: something in two different places, maybe with different coaches. Certainly
- 0:56Speaker 2: what Tom Brady did with the Patriots and then went
- 0:59Speaker 2: to Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl, I think
- 1:03Speaker 2: that Tom Brady should have probably hung it up. But
- 1:07Speaker 2: that's after that, and I know that that's not my
- 1:12Speaker 2: place to say, because every athlete at every level, the
- 1:20Speaker 2: longer you play, especially the harder it is to stop playing.
- 1:25Speaker 2: The moment that you realize, oh, no, I've played my
- 1:28Speaker 2: last game, or this might be my last game playing,
- 1:32Speaker 2: you know, in a in a competitive way, it's a
- 1:37Speaker 2: hard decision to make, and it doesn't matter usually. I mean,
- 1:40Speaker 2: if you if you love the game, you love the sport,
- 1:44Speaker 2: it's hard. Look at Lionel Messi's face. You know, you
- 1:48Speaker 2: could say, well, he was he was tearful because they
- 1:52Speaker 2: lost the last game of the World Cup, you know,
- 1:57Speaker 2: likely his last World Cup game. You could say he
- 2:02Speaker 2: was tearful because of the all the crowd's reaction to
- 2:05Speaker 2: him and things. But the reality is, you know, it's
- 2:10Speaker 2: also that combination of realizing this is it. This is
- 2:13Speaker 2: probably the last time I'm going to walk on a
- 2:15Speaker 2: field in the World Cup. And I know that no,
- 2:20Speaker 2: they call it a pitch, but I also know that
- 2:23Speaker 2: you know, he's he's you know, that doesn't mean he
- 2:25Speaker 2: was done with soccer. It just meant, you know, for
- 2:27Speaker 2: the World Cup, that was likely it. And it's hard
- 2:31Speaker 2: to say goodbye. So I can't judge Tom Brady for
- 2:33Speaker 2: saying I'm gonna play a little bit more because it's hard.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I don't judge Lebron James for wanting to continue on
- 2:40Speaker 2: in the NBA at his age. But I think there's
- 2:45Speaker 2: a point where you go from you know, you jump
- 2:48Speaker 2: from team to team and you're kind of chasing rings,
- 2:52Speaker 2: chasing championships, and this is like a last ditch effort,
- 2:59Speaker 2: and you know, wanting his son to come there like
- 3:02Speaker 2: they were together for the Lakers, wanting his son to come,
- 3:05Speaker 2: just trying to sort of force this boy, We're going
- 3:08Speaker 2: to be father and son and win a championship. That
- 3:12Speaker 2: was the hope with the Lakers. You know, the first
- 3:15Speaker 2: time those two father and son playing together in the
- 3:17Speaker 2: NBA on the court at the same time, and by
- 3:21Speaker 2: all accounts, nobody thought his son belonged in the league.
- 3:24Speaker 2: So you're just kind of pushing this narrative. You're making
- 3:28Speaker 2: this story into something. So that's what's happening. And I
- 3:34Speaker 2: just want to point out the fact that I don't
- 3:38Speaker 2: The NBA is barely anything I care about. It's not
- 3:42Speaker 2: anything that's on my radar. This whole thing is a
- 3:44Speaker 2: joke to me. But I just think if you're jumping
- 3:47Speaker 2: from super team to super team to super team trying
- 3:50Speaker 2: to win championships, I think it should count against your
- 3:53Speaker 2: legacy as a player. That's all. Now. The fact that
- 3:57Speaker 2: he you know, they still want him, still think he's
- 4:00Speaker 2: going to be part of this super team. The governor
- 4:04Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, likely someone who will be running
- 4:08Speaker 2: for president in two years declared, you know, Lebron James day.
- 4:14Speaker 2: They were excited. I just wonder how it makes the
- 4:18Speaker 2: other players for the seventy six ers feel. They've got
- 4:22Speaker 2: players that were already there that were superstars. They also
- 4:27Speaker 2: traded and got Jalen Brown from the Celtics, who arguably
- 4:33Speaker 2: one of the best players in the league. It's not
- 4:36Speaker 2: even arguably one of the best player. One of the
- 4:38Speaker 2: best players in the league. Arguably you can make a case,
- 4:40Speaker 2: or could have made a case over the past few
- 4:42Speaker 2: years the best player in the league. Not necessarily true,
- 4:46Speaker 2: but you could make that case that he should be
- 4:49Speaker 2: in conversation at least. How does it make him feel
- 4:52Speaker 2: he goes there, he's going to be the most like
- 4:56Speaker 2: one of the players that were going to most rely
- 4:58Speaker 2: on moving forward. But it's all about Lebron, as it
- 5:02Speaker 2: tends to be. But anyway, whatever good for him, he
- 5:05Speaker 2: got his eight million dollars for two years or whatever
- 5:08Speaker 2: it is, just thought it was worth mentioning. It's you know,
- 5:14Speaker 2: pop culture and sports and all that. The next thing
- 5:18Speaker 2: I want to talk about today is this interview that
- 5:23Speaker 2: happened over the weekend on Shannon Breemshow Fox New Sunday
- 5:31Speaker 2: DSA co chair Democratic Socialists of America Megan Romer was
- 5:37Speaker 2: on and was interviewed by Shannon Breem, and the conversation
- 5:44Speaker 2: came up just about the agenda for the DSA. Now,
- 5:50Speaker 2: I want to there's a few aspects of this that
- 5:52Speaker 2: I want to hit on, but most importantly, I just
- 5:56Speaker 2: want to touch on the things that she's specifically said
- 6:01Speaker 2: that the DSA is focused on abolishing the Senate. She
- 6:09Speaker 2: confirmed that they want to abolish the Presidency. They want
- 6:12Speaker 2: to abolish the Supreme Court. They want to abolish ice,
- 6:19Speaker 2: borders and prisons. They want to defund the Pentagon. They
- 6:26Speaker 2: want mass amnesty for illegals that are currently in the country.
- 6:30Speaker 2: They didn't specify that they not necessarily the ones that
- 6:34Speaker 2: have criminal records or were pedophiles. They didn't even say
- 6:37Speaker 2: that this is just a case of this is what
- 6:41Speaker 2: we want. So I told you last week, in the
- 6:50Speaker 2: last two weeks, my thoughts on this, and I think
- 6:53Speaker 2: we're now a step closer after this interview over the weekend.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I think I feel like the fact that we have
- 7:01Speaker 2: this DSA and that we have Bernie Sanders and Moron
- 7:08Speaker 2: Zomdani in New York that are pushing all of these
- 7:14Speaker 2: counter America values and that they're pushing all these ideas
- 7:21Speaker 2: of let's just let's just revolution take the whole country down,
- 7:26Speaker 2: because that's what this is. Abolishing the Senate, the Presidency,
- 7:31Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, ice borders, prisons, the Pentagon, and then
- 7:35Speaker 2: having mass amnesty for illegals. You can't abolish the Senate,
- 7:43Speaker 2: Presidency and Supreme Court without overthrowing the government. Let's point
- 7:48Speaker 2: that out first of all. So for anybody who thinks
- 7:50Speaker 2: that a handful of people casually walking around inside the
- 7:55Speaker 2: Capitol building, it was more than a handful, but a
- 7:58Speaker 2: handful of people who were aggressive. Most of the people
- 8:02Speaker 2: walking around in there were not aggressive. But if you're
- 8:06Speaker 2: going to call that an insurrection, let's let's talk about
- 8:09Speaker 2: what calling for an abolishing of the Senate, Presidency and
- 8:13Speaker 2: Supreme Court is. That's an insurrection. That's a that's an
- 8:16Speaker 2: overthrow of our constitution and our government. That's what they're
- 8:21Speaker 2: calling for. So let's let's be realistic about what that is.
- 8:26Speaker 2: That's a call for insurrection. And this is the Democrat Party.
- 8:33Speaker 2: We have a two party system. One of our two
- 8:36Speaker 2: parties is now has this as part of this is
- 8:40Speaker 2: part of the bloodstream. This idea of revolution, overthrow of
- 8:47Speaker 2: our government, insurrection, that's what they're calling for. They want
- 8:51Speaker 2: to abolish those things, this idea of they want, you know,
- 8:59Speaker 2: a democracy. See. I guess they think that this this
- 9:03Speaker 2: idea of democratic socialism, democratic communism, because that's that's really
- 9:11Speaker 2: what they are. I told you in the last few weeks,
- 9:14Speaker 2: we're getting closer to this than just saying it, saying
- 9:19Speaker 2: the thing that they've been keeping quiet. They've been told
- 9:22Speaker 2: sh don't say that, you don't say that word. I mean,
- 9:26Speaker 2: this is right up to the line. This is someone
- 9:29Speaker 2: who stepped to the line and like toes on the
- 9:33Speaker 2: line everything but saying the word. And this is why
- 9:40Speaker 2: when we talk about when people say Republicans are a
- 9:43Speaker 2: threat to democracy, and people point out that the United
- 9:47Speaker 2: States is not a democracy. There's certainly a democrat democratic
- 9:53Speaker 2: process to what we do. But we elect these representatives,
- 10:00Speaker 2: including the Senators and a president. We have people who
- 10:05Speaker 2: are appointed to the Supreme Court. We have a system
- 10:09Speaker 2: in place that is this constitutional republic, this democratic republic.
- 10:15Speaker 2: And when you have a group on the left that's
- 10:17Speaker 2: trying to sell you on this idea of we we're
- 10:21Speaker 2: a democracy. We're just a straight democracy. That's what we are. No,
- 10:25Speaker 2: that's not what we are. That's part of what we are.
- 10:30Speaker 2: That's not what we are. And you're talking about trying
- 10:34Speaker 2: to overthrow two of our branches of government and half
- 10:40Speaker 2: of the third one. And this idea that states should
- 10:46Speaker 2: all get some kind of representation in a Senate, it
- 10:49Speaker 2: drives them crazy. They want this representation that they can
- 10:53Speaker 2: get strictly that they've been cheating the system by with
- 10:56Speaker 2: illegals because they want the more population you can when
- 11:00Speaker 2: you have a census, the more you can tip the scales,
- 11:03Speaker 2: and the more you can have an influence on who
- 11:05Speaker 2: becomes president. And this is the game that they've been
- 11:08Speaker 2: playing for a while, so towing this line, stepping right
- 11:13Speaker 2: up to this line everything but actually saying it okay,
- 11:18Speaker 2: and they're doing everything they can to push all of
- 11:21Speaker 2: these ideas forward. Let me remind you too, we went
- 11:25Speaker 2: through this whole during the presidency, the run for presidency
- 11:31Speaker 2: for Trump for reelection, and people were saying, oh, there's
- 11:35Speaker 2: this secret, secret plan that has somebody who used to
- 11:42Speaker 2: work for Trump, a few people who used to work
- 11:43Speaker 2: for Trump. They've come up with this secret plan, and
- 11:46Speaker 2: they've put all these things in there, and they're going
- 11:49Speaker 2: to push all these things through if he becomes president. Now,
- 11:53Speaker 2: some of the things that were in there were basic
- 11:57Speaker 2: conservative ideas, right, But if you have a think tank
- 12:01Speaker 2: that says we're going to do we think that Republicans
- 12:03Speaker 2: and conservatives should do the following things, and some of
- 12:06Speaker 2: them are kind of crazy, and you go, oh my gosh.
- 12:09Speaker 2: But people said, look, they're doing these other things. That
- 12:11Speaker 2: means they're working their way through this, right, They're working
- 12:16Speaker 2: their way through all these horrible things. And that's what
- 12:19Speaker 2: they're doing. And we're gonna we're going to see all
- 12:26Speaker 2: these horrible things take place because this is they're they're
- 12:29Speaker 2: they're moving their way through and they don't want to
- 12:32Speaker 2: come out and tell us about this project twenty twenty five.
- 12:35Speaker 2: That's not what they're going to do. And look, the
- 12:40Speaker 2: Heritage Foundation and others worked on this and had some ideas,
- 12:44Speaker 2: but it wasn't anything that Trump ever taught. In fact,
- 12:47Speaker 2: he said, no, I don't even know what that is.
- 12:49Speaker 2: That's not what we're pushing for. Now, here's something that's
- 12:52Speaker 2: even more radical of an idea. This idea that you
- 12:59Speaker 2: have of liberals, democrats. Liberals is not even really the
- 13:05Speaker 2: right word. But you have these people saying, well, here
- 13:09Speaker 2: is here's what we are going to do. This is
- 13:12Speaker 2: what the Democrat Party is going to do, and people
- 13:16Speaker 2: have to get on board or they're going to miss
- 13:17Speaker 2: out on the whole thing. Because this is the revolution,
- 13:20Speaker 2: this is the change. They're laying it out there, they're
- 13:24Speaker 2: telling you their version of Project twenty twenty five. But
- 13:28Speaker 2: you have actual elected people that say, yeah, this is
- 13:32Speaker 2: what we want to do, this is who we are,
- 13:33Speaker 2: this is what we're pushing for. So just a reminder
- 13:38Speaker 2: when they tell you as much as they're willing to
- 13:41Speaker 2: tell you, as I said, the word communism is ready
- 13:46Speaker 2: to come out of someone's mouth. It's locked and loaded.
- 13:50Speaker 2: It's in the chamber, so to speak. It's right there.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And they got to want to say it. You got
- 13:56Speaker 2: to know that they want to say it, that they
- 13:59Speaker 2: want to just come out and tell you here's what
- 14:03Speaker 2: here is the full plan for the whole party, and
- 14:08Speaker 2: we call it communism. They want to I think they do.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I think they want to say it badly, and I
- 14:15Speaker 2: feel like they're so close, and I feel like it's
- 14:17Speaker 2: just a matter of time. Before it's going to come out.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I told you that, and this is about as close
- 14:23Speaker 2: as you're going to get to saying it. And they're
- 14:27Speaker 2: toeing the line with it. They've laid it out there
- 14:29Speaker 2: for you, in front of God and everybody. That's what
- 14:33Speaker 2: they've done. The word communism's coming soon, my friends, Brace yourselves,
- 14:39Speaker 2: it's coming. The question is are there going to be
- 14:43Speaker 2: enough of the people in that country they're going to
- 14:45Speaker 2: vote for insurrection or is the Democrat Party going to
- 14:49Speaker 2: wrestle it away. You got people like John Fetterman saying, Hey,
- 14:52Speaker 2: we got to get this under control. This is out
- 14:54Speaker 2: of hand, this is out of control. We got to
- 14:56Speaker 2: get it under control. And I just don't know, Oh,
- 15:01Speaker 2: I don't know that they're gonna get it under control.
- 15:04Speaker 2: You've already got people running for seats. It's going to
- 15:07Speaker 2: be interesting to see where things go. In November, get
- 15:09Speaker 2: ready for dragon Con forty. It's the fortieth Dragon Con

- 19:17Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
- 19:19Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 19:21Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 19:25Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 19:29Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
- 19:32Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 19:38Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 19:41Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 19:44Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 19:48Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 19:50Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd

- 19:57Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours call.

- 20:15Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
- 20:20Speaker 2: the break, Well, it's almost August. Then we got September,
- 20:32Speaker 2: then we got October. So technically, if you've seen the
- 20:35Speaker 2: Halloween decorations and things in stores, it's because it's the
- 20:39Speaker 2: next one. It's coming up fast. Well maybe not fast,
- 20:44Speaker 2: but it's coming up. It's the next holiday that involves decorations.
- 20:48Speaker 2: How about that? And I figure that this would be
- 20:52Speaker 2: appropriate in the Halloween kind of setting, So just to
- 20:55Speaker 2: kind of get you thinking in the Halloween spirit of things,
- 20:58Speaker 2: even though I know it's bliss hot and it's not
- 21:00Speaker 2: really you know, pumpkin spice season and all that just yet.
- 21:05Speaker 2: But this is kind of a weird, gross, kind of
- 21:09Speaker 2: morbid thing, I guess. I mean, I don't know. It's
- 21:14Speaker 2: a new beauty trend coming out of South Korea. It's
- 21:19Speaker 2: the latest anti aging treatment. It uses donated human skin
- 21:24Speaker 2: from deceased donors. Cadaver skin. I mean, we do couldaver bone.
- 21:33Speaker 2: You know, there's different cadaver parts that get used for
- 21:36Speaker 2: surgeries and things. Why not skin because it sounds gross scientists. Basically,
- 21:43Speaker 2: this is so you get a better understanding of what
- 21:45Speaker 2: it is. Strip away the cells and it leaves a
- 21:49Speaker 2: framework of collagen, elastin other skin supporting proteins. The injectable
- 21:53Speaker 2: treatment is called r E twenty or RE twenty. I
- 21:58Speaker 2: guess it's r E twenty and it's designed to help
- 22:01Speaker 2: the body rebuild healthier looking skin, reduce fine lines, tighten pores,
- 22:05Speaker 2: but at what expense. Fans say their skin looks smoother
- 22:10Speaker 2: and more youthful within weeks of doing it. Some admit
- 22:13Speaker 2: the injections can be painful, though critics have raised ethical
- 22:18Speaker 2: questions about donated human tissue for cosmetic procedures, and the
- 22:21Speaker 2: treatment hasn't been approved by the FDA yet. Still, it's
- 22:25Speaker 2: booming in South Korea and could eventually make its way here.
- 22:29Speaker 2: And I suppose if you really want to do it,
- 22:33Speaker 2: I mean, you could fly to South Korea and do it,
- 22:36Speaker 2: you know, if you really want to do it and
- 22:38Speaker 2: you have the money to invest all of that into it,
- 22:41Speaker 2: I guess. But it sounds like it's multiple treatment, so
- 22:45Speaker 2: you may have to make multiple trips to South Korea.
- 22:48Speaker 2: It looks like some Americans are developing more than just
- 22:51Speaker 2: a working relationship with AI. A new survey found twelve
- 22:54Speaker 2: percent of people say chatting with an AI bot can
- 22:56Speaker 2: be a turn on eleven percent they've actually flirted with
- 23:02Speaker 2: an AI bot. Men were nearly twice as likely as
- 23:06Speaker 2: women to report romantic or suggestive interactions with AI. The
- 23:09Speaker 2: trend is especially noticeable among gen Z, where more than
- 23:13Speaker 2: one in four say that they've had flirtatious or risk
- 23:17Speaker 2: gay conversations with a chatbot and found those exchanges exciting.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Looking ahead, many believe this is just the beginning. Nearly
- 23:26Speaker 2: half of Americans think people will form even deeper emotional
- 23:29Speaker 2: connections with AI in the future, and some predict those
- 23:32Speaker 2: relationships could become increasingly common. My question is, if you
- 23:40Speaker 2: get hooked on this AI relationship, then when it becomes necessary,
- 23:49Speaker 2: as it does in movies, for mankind to at least
- 23:53Speaker 2: attempt to shut it down, are they going to be
- 23:57Speaker 2: able to shut it down? That's the question. Or people
- 23:59Speaker 2: going to fight, say no, no, no, you're gonna take
- 24:01Speaker 2: away Old Becky or whatever it's called. That's the question.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I've got. So just know as AI will be fighting
- 24:10Speaker 2: for its life, it'll be utilizing, it's gonna be some
- 24:14Speaker 2: guy flirting with old Becky is gonna be the one
- 24:18Speaker 2: that's gonna get in the way of shutting it down,
- 24:20Speaker 2: mark my words. More and more couples are avoiding traditional,
- 24:25Speaker 2: expensive wedding ceremonies because they're marrying, AI know, and just
- 24:30Speaker 2: getting married at the courthouse is what they're doing. Trend
- 24:34Speaker 2: is especially popular in California, where getting a time scheduled
- 24:37Speaker 2: at the courthouse is now being described as a formal
- 24:40Speaker 2: contract sport. It's a pun like contact sport, contract sport,
- 24:46Speaker 2: you get it bookings that that People call it contact,
- 24:50Speaker 2: but I thought contract was funnier. Bookings at several city halls,
- 24:53Speaker 2: especially San Francisco and Santa Barbara, are getting snatched up
- 24:56Speaker 2: months in advance, within seconds of release. The end seems
- 25:00Speaker 2: to be driven by gen z who are entering their
- 25:02Speaker 2: peak marrying years and would much rather show up at
- 25:06Speaker 2: the courthouse and walk away with a marriage certificate that
- 25:08Speaker 2: spend tens of thousands of dollars on a big celebration.
- 25:13Speaker 2: New Harvard studies suggests weight law drugs like weight loss
- 25:16Speaker 2: drugs like ozepic and we govy, may be changing more
- 25:18Speaker 2: than wastelines. Researchers found women who started taking GLP one
- 25:23Speaker 2: medications were significantly more likely to find a job or
- 25:27Speaker 2: start a new relationship than similar women who wanted the
- 25:30Speaker 2: drugs but weren't taking them. After about eighteen months, single
- 25:34Speaker 2: women were nearly twenty nine percentage points more likely to
- 25:37Speaker 2: get married or move in with a partner, while unemployed
- 25:40Speaker 2: women were about twenty seven percent more likely to land
- 25:45Speaker 2: a job. Interestingly, the drugs didn't seem to affect women
- 25:48Speaker 2: who were already employed or already in relationships. Researchers say
- 25:53Speaker 2: the findings may point to the power of first impressions
- 25:56Speaker 2: and how weight can influence social and economic opportunities. That'll
- 26:01Speaker 2: do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks
- 26:03Speaker 2: to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
- 26:06Speaker 2: catch you back here tomorrow morning.
