  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: Thursday morning, seventh day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks for
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: joining me. No, no, you didn't wake up yesterday and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it'd be a dream or a nightmare or whatever. It
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: really happened, and it all continues on a you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: first time I've really done a Hey, let's record the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: show with breaking news taking place that I did for
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the election results. I had a feeling that maybe we
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: were about to get a call, and I thought, you
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: know what, maybe this call is going to happen in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: this half hour or so that I'm recording. So that's
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the way it played out, and I thought, you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I was probably really tired. I don't know that I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: made any sense. I was a little excited. I was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: just happy to know a few things. And we'll get
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to those few things coming up in just a minute.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But yes, as it starts to sink in across the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: country and people are processing all of this, we have
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to basically look to this strategy that was used during
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the election and even now post election. And I guess
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I said I'd tease that i'd be getting to those things.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: This is sort of one of those things. But there's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a few things that I really want to touch on.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So this idea that you can run an entire election
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: campaign based on name calling and insulting, I realized that,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to some extent, that's what worked four years ago. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: realize that with a candidate like Joe Biden, who, let's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: be on it, four years ago, ten years ago, go
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: back to the time that he was vice president, for
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: some reason, he was likable. I get it. I get it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: For folks on the left, they looked at him as hey,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he's kind of a moderate guy. He's kind of a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: blue collar guy. You know, he's a Pennsylvania guy. This
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: is our guy. I look at him and I see me.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: There was a time when people looked at Donald Trump
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and they definitely didn't see themselves. I think people more
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: now see him as themselves than ever before. And I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: think that's part of because of some of the things
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that were done by Democrats over the last few years,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: even going back to his first presidency. So you have
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a candidate like Joe Biden who's likable. You know, he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like grandpa, he's an older guy, they're just going to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: keep him below the radar, and then they're just going
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to law a out insults at Trump. They're gonna law
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: ab out things like you know, he's been impeached ya,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: they decided to impeach him again. They just want to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: pile on all these things. Is he guilty of these crimes?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It just kind of rolled on into the Biden campaign.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Then the exposure that he doesn't have his brain doesn't
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: seem to be working. I mean, the cognition's clearly not there.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Is it dementia? Is it something more severe? Nobody knows.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: We never really got a chance to find out, did we.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: They just pulled him away and got rid of him
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and said we're going to give it to her. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: she didn't really run a campaign other than when she
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: ran against him, and it was horrible and no one
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: really liked her. But that's our purse. She's our gal, right,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that's who we want. And I only use that term
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: because they look at Biden back in the day and
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they said that's our guy. So this is our gal.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And they banked on American voters just saying, you know
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: what a mixed race, a woman is going to be
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: our pick. We want a woman to finally win. We
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: want it because people can get passionate about something where
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: they it's that hole you look at somebody you kind
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: of see yourself in it. We see this in sports
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: all the time. There was a point where I thought,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: maybe this is getting better, and then I don't know
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that it really is, but we saw it a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in sports. Maybe it's gotten a little better in sports.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but there was that point where it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was just, you know, even you take somebody like a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Michael Vick who did all the you know, convicted of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: these horrible things involving dogfighting, but there were you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: black Americans who were like but but you know, he
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: looks like me. I like him, we got the same
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: skin tone. I'm gonna pull for that guy no matter what.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: That's who I like. That's my guy. And it certainly
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: has been true. Go back to the eighties and look
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: at lair Bird and that phenom look through And that's
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: continued on a bit, hasn't it. It's continued on. Dirk
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Novitsky was one of those I mean, it's kind of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: something that's just there. People do, in certain circumstances get
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: very tribal if you will, a white basketball player stands out,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you know, Luka Doncic is kind of the guy now
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that people look at and go, my gosh, that guy,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: he's so good and then he and you know, I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like him because he kind of looks like me. We've
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: seen this in Hollywood when they've said we're going to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: make this movie a Little Mermaid, this Danish fairy tale,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and then we're going to make the mermaid is going
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to be black because we want little girls to look
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, the little Mermaid looks like me now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And that's a whole separate conversation both of those. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: when it comes to that being a perception that rolls
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: into our politics, I think we've seen now it's dead wrong.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think people thought Hillary Clinton was as qualified
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to be president as she certainly thought she was. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I say that because there was that period in time
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: when she was the first Lady and her husband was
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the president, and she was, you know, spotted in public
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: saying things like we're the president. Like it's like they're
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: running a household. Maybe in the White House, you know,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they're the president. But I don't know that being the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: first lady qualifies you as you know, making decisions now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: According to reports, the current first Lady is kind of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: running the country in Jill Biden, So you know, maybe
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: there's some element to that. I don't know. People seem
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to think that Michelle Obama should always run for president,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and I guess there's that perception there. I don't know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: but I do know this. I think Americans are at
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: least an enough look at the candidate and say, Kamala
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Harris isn't the pick. We didn't pick her. You gave
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: her to us, and we identify more with him than
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: with her. And the end result for during you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: during the campaign, her campaign was you know, Trump voters
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: or racists, Trump voters or sexist. Trump voters are homophobic,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Trump voters are you know, fascists, they're Nazis, Trump is Hitler,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: all of those things garbage. And then the election happens
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and you look at most of the left leaning media
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: outlets and what was there end result for them? They
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: look at it and they say, oh, clearly the voters
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are all racist, sexist, and they just don't want to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: see a woman, especially a dark skinned woman. They don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: want to see that. You got all these white people
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that won't vote for her, and all these black people
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that won't vote for and all these women that won't
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: vote it's Hispanic people that won't vote for Maybe, just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: maybe you're not giving people enough credit that they're voting
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: on issues. They're voting on what's important to them, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: right now, the thing that's important to people is ultimately
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the economy. It's the border. I'm not going to dismiss
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that abortion isn't a real issue for Americans, but I
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: would also make the case, and I don't know that
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I think conservatives maybe could see this. I've
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: certainly talked about it at great link. But when you've
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: got a candidate for president who you know, went on
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: TV as the VP, and this is back when Trump
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: was actually going through primaries and you had candidates that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: were running for the Republican nomination saying things like, now
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that Roe v. Wade is no longer there, this is
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: an opportunity for us to visit this and decide if
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: this is something we're going to do. What would be
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the limits. How many weeks she got some states, It's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: really like early in the process. She got some states
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: where you know, they're saying they can do it. Much later.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: But you hear people say six weeks isn't enough, six
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: weeks just if five weeks just isn't enough, Well, what
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: is what's enough? At what point do you think it
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: should be a cutoff? And when the vice president was
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: asked this, as she was at the time still running
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to be the vice president again, she made it very
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: clear women's lives are in danger. The country has and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: she basically painted this picture, Oh, women are dying all
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: over the place. I don't even know that any of
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the women who have died from the any of complications
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: related to abortion issues had even happened at that point,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: but she certainly made it sound like, you know, there
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: were ten twenty a day happening in every state. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: she called out and said, look, this is something that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you know, this is happening, and we have to help
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: these women. So then the question of course still asked, well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: what do you think is the you know, where should
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it stop. Well, we're not going to talk about that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: We're not going to stop until Roe v. Wade is
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: law the land. Yes, but you're talking about this urgency.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: This we've got to save these women's lives. They're dying,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: they're just dying sounds like dozens a day. She didn't
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: say dozens, but the way it sounded. And rather than say,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you know, to save the lives of these women, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: would say even if she said twenty weeks, there's not
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: any Republican there. There's probably a few, but not many
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Republicans would have gone for that. But if they wanted
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to come back and have a conversation about twelve weeks,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: fourteen weeks, something like that, this is something that could
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: have been put to bed, still could be put to bed.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: It still could be put to bed if both sides
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: would just come up with a number, shake hands on it,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: call it a day. But it's not about saving the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: lives of women. This is about trying to use the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: issue of abortion as something that they thought was going
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to help them in this election. It was going to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: give them the White House, it was going to give
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: them the Senate, and it was or help them hold
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the Senate, and it was going to give them the House.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That's what they were thinking. This was going to be.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: This was the issue that they were going to use.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: And they would scream, you have to vote this way
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: because if you don't, you don't love the women in
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: your life, don't have a problem with something bad happening
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: to them. Former President Obama got out and said basically
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to the black men, look, if you don't do this
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: for your wives and children and for your daughters, you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the bad things that come to them are going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: be on you for letting your anger be in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: way your rage what I think Michelle Obama even chimed
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in on that too. So now on the other side
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: of the election, you got liberal media saying racist people,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: sexist people. We I don't know that I've heard anybody
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: say fascist, all of these black people are fascist, all
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: these Hispanic people are fascist. I don't know that we've
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: heard that. But what I think is being missed and
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: still being missed, is identity politics may have just seen
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: a blow large enough that people should take notice of it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I think they should. I think some of the people
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: that maybe some of the biggest losers in this election
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: are the people who thought, you know, if Harris just
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: kind of all most wins, she just barely loses, boy,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that could set the table for me. End quote Stacy Abrams.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I mean some of the people who have these aspirations
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that might have thought, man, if we could just make
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: it a little bit more identity politics. We can do this,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know. Like obviously, we're
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: going to be looking at a situation where, you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: we're going to have a president sworn in in January
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: who will be serving his second and final term. That's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: only happened once before, not anywhere in our lifetime. So
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the right is going to be looking at people like JD. Vance,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: It's going to be looking at some of the others
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: whose names have come up. People that a lot, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: mean a lot of people thought it was going to
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: be DeSantis if Trump was not the guy, and the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: left is going to have to figure out from scratch,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: what do we do, how do we try to mend
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: all of the all of the fences, What do we do?
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: What do we do to try to get things back
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: on track when we don't really have that deep bench.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I touched on that just a little bit yesterday, very
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: early in the morning as the election was being called.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: So they've got to figure that out. And I don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: know that this idea of we're going to run a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: candidate who is this gender and looks like this, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: just don't think that picking a black woman to be
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the vice president was ultimately the thing that decided that
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: election in twenty twenty. I don't know, maybe we were
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: still thinking that way then. I don't know that that
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: was the call. I think that if, maybe if they
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: had picked the right black woman as the candidate, maybe
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that might have made a difference. But I just think
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: we've seen now from this election people don't like Kamala Harris.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: They were voting against Trump, they weren't voting for her.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So if we're going to keep playing this identity politics
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: game over and over and over again, and the American
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: people now maybe in this election have said enough. Certainly
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: not everybody, but I think maybe we're are we eventually
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: going to get to a point where this isn't the way.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: We're always putting ourselves in these boxes all the time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And I realize I'm being very naive if I'm being
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: this optimistic. I know that this isn't over. But shouldn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it have been some sort of a statement, a referendum,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that's a big word they've been saying for the past day.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, shouldn't it be something that we look at
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and say, maybe this isn't the way to go. Maybe
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: we should start looking at, you know, a couple of
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: moderate candidates, left of center, right of center. Let them
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: get out there and tell us why they should be
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the president or whatever candidate in whatever race. Let's stop
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: trying to I know this is naive. I know there's
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: no way it just can't. But don't you think there's
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: some element of that that's been proclaimed in these elections?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm talking about all the races I'm talking about
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: for the Senate, Think about the control you're looking at
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Trump walking in. He's got a pretty significant situation that
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: he's walking into as he goes back into the White House.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just hopeful. And I know it's naive. I know
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: that there's no way that this has all just magically
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: been fixed, but I think people should be paying attention
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to it right at the very least, it should be
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: part of the discussion moving forward. You know what, maybe
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: this wasn't the right play. Maybe we need to actually
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: vet candidates, Maybe we need to actually run campaigns. We
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: need to approach all of this from a perspective of
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the name calling is probably not going to get the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: job done. But I get on social media even this morning,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and there's still the name calling, the hateful stuff, the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: deleting of friends. You know, I've known you for thirty years,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: we've been friends, but you voted for the wrong candidate.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: We're not going to be friends anymore. I've discussed that issue.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: That issue for me is now a twenty year issue.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: The first person who did that to me did that
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago, in two thousand and four, and it
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: was over John Carey because I wouldn't commit to voting
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for John carry and is someone I had never discussed
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: anything to do with elections with. This was not even
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: really a friend, to be honest. He certainly tried to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: portray it that way. We're gonna lose this friendship over this,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and I just thought we're kind of colleagues. We're colleagues,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: that's what we are. You don't want to be my
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: friend anymore, or associate with me anymore or in a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: business capacity. That's something that maybe you should take up
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: with your boss. It doesn't have anything to do with me.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And I haven't talked to you about the election. You
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: brought it up. So the lies, that's the other component
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: of this, I mean the lies, and I think that's
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: another significant part of this. It's just you know, the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the concept the democracy is going to end when there's
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a track record, and I think that's part of it too,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: there's a track record for Trump in office. He had
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: four years, did the end democracy?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Know, he didn't do that? So how can you say,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: now he's going to do that? When you portray any
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: of these decisions or things that have been said by
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: other people and you paint them back to him, or
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you say, hey, project twenty twenty five, and Trump has
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: repeatedly said anything to do with that, they eventually stop.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: And then this idea of you know, he's a convicted felon. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: we kind of came up with these charges, and we
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: really bent the law in a lot of different directions
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: so that we could get to the point where we
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: could say he's a convicted felon. But look at him,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: he's a convicted felon. We realize when you use it
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: as law fair, it doesn't really mean anything. And you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: guys are smarter than that. But hey, convicted felon, which,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, this is all fizzles away January twentieth,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: all the charges, all the everything, I mean, he's effectively
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: now I guess gonna dodge all of it because the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: American people said, no, no, this is who we want
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to be president. We identify with him more than we
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: identified with her. Today's show brought to you by Coloma
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating

  Speaker 2: this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction. That happens
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: you can always ask them questions about some of the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to be, and you need some repair work done to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred

• 22:48
  Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the break, well, we heard all the celebrities who said
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: they'd be leaving the country. I'm a huge You two fan.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I think I saw a quote attributed to Bono from
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: You two that he was going to drive his car
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: off a cliff if you know he if Trump won
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the election. So a lot of this sentiment of you know, boy,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I got to leave the country. Boy, I've got to
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: leave America. And it looks like I guess as people
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: start trying to discuss it. This year, a new Gallup
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: poll says a record number of Americans are saying they
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: want to immigrate. Twenty one percent of Americans poll said
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: they would like to move to another country. That's up
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: seventeen percent from twenty twenty three. Paul also found that
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: while more Americans desire to leave the country, fewer people
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: from other countries want to move here. Eighteen percent of
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: people coming from other countries in the US would be
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: their top choice. That's down from twenty four percent back
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine. Apparently, though, those aren't the
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: people that had just been walking across the border. What's
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: going to happen for the next seventy days or so,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: is people are is that going to cut back? Are
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: they going to try to hurry up and get here
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: as fast as they can so they can be shipped
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: back home wherever they're from. Complements of the President elect.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: An unexpected effect from ozempic and drugs like it, it's
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: the Ozimpic menu. Smoothie King has offered a new menu
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: designed for folks on ozimpic and other GLP one medications
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to help them achieve their weight loss or weight management goals.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: They've teamed up with dietitians to create five smoothies that
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: have at least twenty grams of protein or rich in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: fiber and zero grams of added sugar. So that's another
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: concept there from the or another side effect, if you will,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: from ozimpic. There's a dating tip that is trending on
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: social media, and it's basically tries to lay out whether
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: there's a long term potential for someone that you're dating
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: or if it's just kind of what they call a situationship.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: It's the three three three rule. Here's the breakdown. After
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: three dates, you should know if there's a spark. After
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: three weeks, you'll have a better idea if there's real potential.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: And after three months it's time to decide if you're
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: ready to make it or you're going to move on
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: from that person if you think that there's potential to
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: make it versus moving on. So yeah, most of us
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Well,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Goldilocks goes into the bear's home, helps herself to dinner,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: declaring one too hot, one too cold, one just right. Well,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the inspiration for a new travel trend is going to Goldilocks.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Countries countries that have a lot to offer aren't overrun
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: by tourists. They're just right. They have a reliable public transit,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: they have safe accommodations that are easily accessible. Among them Vietnam, Slovenia, Albania, Chile,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Norway and Georgia. That's the country, not the state. Although
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I think we've got to find transit system. It's called
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Marta in Atlanta, But I don't know about the overrun
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: by tourists. Maybe not so much overrun by tourists, but
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: got them Hollywood people in Atlanta. Travelers are discovering more
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: so you can do your research and figure out if
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: there is a Goldilocks country that is right for you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: A woman shared on social media's am I the a
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: hole on Reddit, and she asked that her sister not
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: bring any homemade food to their Thanksgiving dinner. According to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the poster, her sister's cooking is often borderline inedible. It
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: seems the sister likes experimenting with unusual ingredients and her
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: previous dishes have not gone over well with the family.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: For context, they say last Thanksgiving, she showed up with
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a special recipe stuffing that was over seasoned with random
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: spices like cinema and cardivom. Apparently the reviews where it
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: was dry and the flavors were confused, confusing, and totally
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: off for a stuffing. So basically she's saying that. Is
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: she wrong for saying, please don't bring any of your
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: experimental food to Thanksgiving? I realize if it's such a
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: big deal, there's going to be an awkwardness about it,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: but just don't eat it. Let them take it home too.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: You take home your leftovers. We don't need it. Apparently
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: gray sweatpants are having a moment or is this a comeback?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. According to social media, if a guy
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is wearing gray sweatpants, he's automatically hot guys in gray
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: sweatpants or when he wears gray sweatpants. Is this apparently
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: something that you could search on social media and there
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: are millions of posts. They basically say they need to
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: be fitted light gray sweatpants. I guess those rocky malbolins
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: don't count. Other shades and fits still count, but it's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: not quite the same. According to folks on social media,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: it seems that the gray sweatpants are the perfect combination
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of sexy and casual, giving off a cozy I put
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: no effort into this outfit vibe, So there you go.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show.
