0:01
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.
0:09
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, twenty ninth day of April. I'm West Thanks
0:14
Speaker 2: for joining me. Knocking on the door May that happened,
0:21
Speaker 2: It was just Christmas, right, I'm not the only one
0:23
Speaker 2: that feels that way, can't be. I guess it feels
0:28
Speaker 2: like the school well, the school year kind of feels
0:29
Speaker 2: like it's gone on a while, but school year getting
0:32
Speaker 2: to that point, we get into May and then things
0:34
Speaker 2: start winding down for all that. So that feels like
0:38
Speaker 2: it's been a school year. It really does. But otherwise
0:42
Speaker 2: time seems to have gone by very rapidly. I want
0:46
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about law and order. I
0:50
Speaker 2: want to talk a little bit about no one being
0:52
Speaker 2: above the law. You know, we heard a lot of
0:55
Speaker 2: that while the left was trying to prosecute Trump. They
1:00
Speaker 2: prosecuted him, some of them did, some of them never
1:03
Speaker 2: got to that point. But they were prosecuting a former president.
1:06
Speaker 2: Something hadn't been done to that level ever. Right, We've
1:11
Speaker 2: never seen a president just finish their term and then
1:14
Speaker 2: have basically political opponents in the election. They lost and
1:20
Speaker 2: then eventually the same people that he was running again
1:25
Speaker 2: stu up to a point. Still, technically it's the same
1:28
Speaker 2: White House if you go to the vice president instead
1:30
Speaker 2: of the president for your pick. But they prosecuted him.
1:35
Speaker 2: Political enemies, they go after him. We haven't seen that
1:40
Speaker 2: to that degree ever, right, that's never It's always been
1:45
Speaker 2: something that was never, never considered okay, and it shouldn't
1:52
Speaker 2: be okay. You should be able to have your differences.
1:56
Speaker 2: I do think that we have gotten to a point
1:58
Speaker 2: where we're seeing these huge pendulum swings in one direction
2:03
Speaker 2: and then they go back the other way, and that
2:05
Speaker 2: should scare people. We're seeing one right now to the right,
2:10
Speaker 2: and the only thing. It feels great if you're on
2:14
Speaker 2: the side that's winning. But when you realize if something
2:17
Speaker 2: doesn't stop the momentum going back the other direction, it's
2:20
Speaker 2: something that you got to be a little concerned about
2:23
Speaker 2: if you don't like the other direction. But when it's
2:26
Speaker 2: happening and it's swinging in your direction, boyd it feels good.
2:30
Speaker 2: It just feels like, wow, we're in a different time,
2:32
Speaker 2: we're in a different place. Things just feel a little better.
2:37
Speaker 2: And then the people who side it's not swinging their way,
2:40
Speaker 2: feel like, oh, the world's going to end. It's horrible.
2:43
Speaker 2: It's the worst thing ever. And that's just kind of
2:46
Speaker 2: how it goes. And we don't do a whole lot
2:48
Speaker 2: to try to slow the momentum down because we enjoy
2:51
Speaker 2: that feeling of winning. We enjoy that feeling of Wow,
2:54
Speaker 2: our side has things together and they're doing things. And
2:59
Speaker 2: we're at a point where right now in this Trump
3:01
Speaker 2: administration two point zero where some progress has been made,
3:07
Speaker 2: but there's a few things that have kind of stalled
3:09
Speaker 2: out a little bit, and calling a not fully stalled out,
3:12
Speaker 2: but not quite going at the same speed it was
3:14
Speaker 2: all going. Some of the approvals and polling is starting
3:18
Speaker 2: to show things that are a little like starting to
3:21
Speaker 2: be a little bit concerning not so bad. People are
3:24
Speaker 2: freaking out the stock market. Stock markets recovered quite a bit.
3:28
Speaker 2: I mean it was down now it's back so looming
3:32
Speaker 2: tariff things, there's a lot still going on. But we
3:38
Speaker 2: go back to last year when we were in the
3:42
Speaker 2: middle of discussing Trump getting arrested, Trump his house being raided,
3:47
Speaker 2: and Trump being forced to go to Atlanta to have
3:50
Speaker 2: his mug shot. The mug shot of course that probably
3:54
Speaker 2: was a big part of him eventually winning the presidency,
3:58
Speaker 2: one of the things that started to make the time
4:00
Speaker 2: change quite a bit. Him getting shot in the ear
4:03
Speaker 2: certainly didn't hurt that. The debate and realizing that the
4:06
Speaker 2: Democrats were completely clueless as to what was going on
4:12
Speaker 2: was certainly part of that. And then they had to
4:14
Speaker 2: bring in Kamala Harris, who said the same four or
4:17
Speaker 2: five things over and over again. But if you don't
4:21
Speaker 2: like the other side, you allow that to happen, You
4:24
Speaker 2: forgive those things. You certainly look past a lot of things.
4:29
Speaker 2: But the left, as they were stressing the importance of
4:33
Speaker 2: prosecuting Trump on every single one of the issues that
4:36
Speaker 2: they wanted to prosecute him on, I wouldn't say really
4:41
Speaker 2: what it was about. Most of them would not, not
4:44
Speaker 2: at the high levels. I think average people that I
4:46
Speaker 2: talked to would tell me it was about making sure
4:49
Speaker 2: Trump couldn't run again. They were comfortable with that. That
4:52
Speaker 2: scared me a little bit. I've shared that my friends
4:57
Speaker 2: who I appreciated their candor, when they tell you, look,
5:00
Speaker 2: I don't want him to run again. I hope they
5:02
Speaker 2: prosecute him. I just want to keep him from being
5:04
Speaker 2: able to run. Again, he scares me, and ultimately not
5:10
Speaker 2: realizing how scary it should be for all of us
5:15
Speaker 2: that an administration that's capable of taking the choice away
5:25
Speaker 2: from the American people should scare you a lot more,
5:28
Speaker 2: just should should terrify you, because that's not America. That's
5:34
Speaker 2: taking the choice away from you. And that's what they seem,
5:38
Speaker 2: that's what the left wanted to do, and that's what
5:41
Speaker 2: there were a lot of people, some I knew, who
5:44
Speaker 2: were quite comfortable with it. All that they wanted was
5:48
Speaker 2: to make sure that he could not be president again,
5:52
Speaker 2: because no one is above the law. Absolutely, no one
5:58
Speaker 2: is above the law. And once they started the indictments,
6:03
Speaker 2: once they started trials, once they started going after him,
6:06
Speaker 2: we know the whole mess in New York City and
6:09
Speaker 2: Tisha James and Q's now of doing all the things
6:12
Speaker 2: she was prosecuting, some of the things she was actually
6:14
Speaker 2: worse things since she was prosecuting Trump for while she
6:18
Speaker 2: was prosecuting It's a mess. I mean, that's the accusations.
6:22
Speaker 2: We'll see where all that plays out. But no one's
6:26
Speaker 2: above the law. Absolutely, no one is above the law.
6:33
Speaker 2: And there were folks on the right that asked the questions,
6:36
Speaker 2: well we're talking about it will specifically hit on the
6:40
Speaker 2: one that he became a felon over. Is this idea
6:46
Speaker 2: of some campaign money that was paid to an attorney
6:53
Speaker 2: to buy a story back in twenty sixteen that was
6:57
Speaker 2: going to go public might hurt the outcome of the election,
7:03
Speaker 2: something that's happened many times in many scenarios, politics, everyday life, celebrities.
7:11
Speaker 2: A number of times a celebrity buys up a story,
7:15
Speaker 2: as someone from their team buy up a story so
7:18
Speaker 2: it doesn't get published. And you know, this was an
7:23
Speaker 2: adult film actress who claimed that she'd had an affair
7:27
Speaker 2: with Trump and didn't really remember the details of it.
7:32
Speaker 2: As they got into the trial part of it, she
7:34
Speaker 2: was even more confused about what happened. But she was
7:38
Speaker 2: fully prepared to sell her story to the highest bidder
7:41
Speaker 2: so that she could get that story out there. Whether
7:43
Speaker 2: it happened or not, who knows. He denies that, she
7:46
Speaker 2: says it did. She doesn't seem to remember a whole
7:49
Speaker 2: lot about it. But the idea on the left was
7:54
Speaker 2: we're going to get this story out there one way
7:56
Speaker 2: or the other, because the Trump adminised or his campaign
8:01
Speaker 2: at the time wasn't the administration. Yet he basically worked
8:07
Speaker 2: a deal where they could buy the story. The story
8:09
Speaker 2: got hushed. It's the way it worked. And there were
8:14
Speaker 2: questions about did campaign money go towards doing that? Is
8:17
Speaker 2: that okay? Is that allowed to happen. Every other circumstance
8:21
Speaker 2: that's ever happened, it's a misdemeanor, right, But in this
8:27
Speaker 2: case they decided it had been past the statute of
8:30
Speaker 2: limitations to prosecute it as a misdemeanor. So we're going
8:33
Speaker 2: to come up with this novel law thing. We're going
8:35
Speaker 2: to come up with the ways that we can. Really
8:38
Speaker 2: it's a reach, but we're going to see if it'll
8:40
Speaker 2: stick in a court filled with jurors that are probably
8:45
Speaker 2: Democrat voters that would be terrified of im. Then okay
8:48
Speaker 2: with running a prosecution for the purposes of keeping him
8:52
Speaker 2: out of the White House again. And of course it worked.
8:55
Speaker 2: They turned it into a felony, they made him a felon.
8:58
Speaker 2: None of that worked. Still won the election, and when
9:01
Speaker 2: people said, you know, how can he think that he
9:05
Speaker 2: was above the law. No one's above the law, even
9:08
Speaker 2: the president. So we heard that a lot. Trump wins
9:13
Speaker 2: the election, he gets into office, and one of the
9:16
Speaker 2: things that he campaigned on that he pledged he would
9:20
Speaker 2: do when he won is get people that are in
9:23
Speaker 2: the country that aren't supposed to be in the country,
9:25
Speaker 2: that are breaking the law by being here, out of
9:27
Speaker 2: the country, and that they were going to start with
9:32
Speaker 2: the dangerous criminals, the people that were killing people and
9:36
Speaker 2: raping people, and gang members members of not just gangs,
9:41
Speaker 2: but large gangs that had gotten to the point of being,
9:44
Speaker 2: you know, deemed terrorist organizations. We're going to get them
9:48
Speaker 2: out of here. We're going to grab him up. We're
9:50
Speaker 2: going to get them out of the country. We're going
9:52
Speaker 2: to send them back where they came from. We're going
9:55
Speaker 2: to send them to El Salvador. We're going to get
9:57
Speaker 2: them out of the country. And people their minds, how
10:02
Speaker 2: can you do that? How can you do that? Well,
10:05
Speaker 2: they're not citizens, they snuck in, they're committing crimes, and
10:11
Speaker 2: the State Department can deport people. Well, they need their
10:13
Speaker 2: due process. They want to stretch it out for some reason.
10:17
Speaker 2: No one seems to really have an explanation for why
10:19
Speaker 2: they want to stretch it out. Now, yesterday, Tom Homan
10:24
Speaker 2: spoke at the White House and he gave a scenario
10:27
Speaker 2: not specifically about the criminals, but some other illegals that
10:33
Speaker 2: are in the country, and he laid out a scenario.
10:35
Speaker 2: Tom Holman has been working since eighty four, right, He's
10:40
Speaker 2: been working for administrations going back to the Reagan administration,
10:46
Speaker 2: and he said every White House he's worked for or
10:48
Speaker 2: done some work with was serious about the border except
10:51
Speaker 2: for one. And he says, the Biden administration is the
10:55
Speaker 2: first one that said we're going to let people in.
10:58
Speaker 2: We're gonna let them just just over run our border,
11:02
Speaker 2: and we're not going to put them into a basically
11:07
Speaker 2: an ice facility, in a bed where they can be
11:13
Speaker 2: accounted for, and then in like thirty five days they
11:17
Speaker 2: get some sort of a hearing, some sort of a
11:20
Speaker 2: decision on what happens with them. Instead, the Biden administration
11:25
Speaker 2: was moving them all around different places and putting them
11:28
Speaker 2: and he was calling it the ice facility, a one
11:31
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty dollars a night bed versus the five
11:34
Speaker 2: hundred dollars a night beds in hotels around the country
11:38
Speaker 2: and scattering them around and putting them in places where
11:41
Speaker 2: ultimately it was going to be years, five plus to
11:45
Speaker 2: ten years before there was a hearing for those people,
11:50
Speaker 2: and he laid it out. You want to know why,
11:54
Speaker 2: And that's what he laid out, exactly why. Because by
11:58
Speaker 2: the time that five to ten year rolls around, some
12:02
Speaker 2: things might have happened. It might be a new administration,
12:04
Speaker 2: you might have a Democrat back in charge, start working
12:06
Speaker 2: towards amnesty. We've talked here about this ridiculous stat. Eighty
12:13
Speaker 2: percent of the time someone comes into the country illegally,
12:17
Speaker 2: they end up becoming a Democrat voter. That's the plan.
12:20
Speaker 2: It's still this like we're going to just stack the deck.
12:25
Speaker 2: It's still there and we're pretending that it's not. And
12:28
Speaker 2: people that have come into the country illegally and are
12:31
Speaker 2: being shuffled around the country, moved into battleground states and
12:36
Speaker 2: all these type things. There's another thing he didn't I
12:38
Speaker 2: don't think he addressed it if I didn't hear him
12:40
Speaker 2: say these words. But there's another thing that can happen
12:42
Speaker 2: in five to nine years. You can get married, you
12:47
Speaker 2: can have a kid. I used to call them anchor babies.
12:50
Speaker 2: That's not PC anymore. You're not supposed to say anchor babies.
12:53
Speaker 2: But that's what ends up happening. Someone comes here, even
12:58
Speaker 2: if it's a couple and they're here illegally and they
13:01
Speaker 2: have a baby, and suddenly it's all the baby has citizenship.
13:05
Speaker 2: It's one of the things Trump was talking about getting
13:07
Speaker 2: rid of, is this idea of birthright citizenship from a
13:11
Speaker 2: different time. It's from a different era, and it's a
13:13
Speaker 2: whole different situation. But you come in the country illegally
13:18
Speaker 2: and now you're deemed above the law. Apparently you're above
13:24
Speaker 2: the law. Why would you ask these people to leave?
13:26
Speaker 2: Why would you want them to leave? They're just here
13:28
Speaker 2: looking for a better life. They're just here hoping for
13:33
Speaker 2: a better life. That's all they're doing. Why would you
13:36
Speaker 2: want them out? Why would you want them to go? Sure,
13:39
Speaker 2: it's a five hundred dollars a night bed, apparently that's
13:43
Speaker 2: according to Tom Homan. I don't really know what the
13:45
Speaker 2: breakdown is. I'm sure he's just talking about these elaborate
13:47
Speaker 2: hotels they're staying in and the ridiculous food that they
13:51
Speaker 2: get to eat and then complain that it's not good enough.
13:55
Speaker 2: They claim they're coming from these horrible situations, and then
13:58
Speaker 2: they get to New York City and they're living in
14:01
Speaker 2: a four star restaurant and they think that the food
14:04
Speaker 2: that's being provided to them is just it's not getting
14:07
Speaker 2: the job done kind of thing that if I was
14:11
Speaker 2: on my vacation to New York and staying there, I
14:14
Speaker 2: wouldn't even pay for the hotel food because I could
14:17
Speaker 2: afford it. I'm sitting there, going I go get a
14:22
Speaker 2: slice of pizza somewhere. That's what I'd do when I'm
14:24
Speaker 2: in New York and it's full of grease, and you know,
14:29
Speaker 2: it's certainly not fine dining. It's not coming out of
14:31
Speaker 2: a restaurant with a French chef that works at the hotel.
14:37
Speaker 2: It's disgusting. We can't eat this food. I don't know
14:39
Speaker 2: if it was too good, too fancy, I don't know,
14:41
Speaker 2: but they were just, you know, not wanting to eat it,
14:43
Speaker 2: and they were complaining. So which is it. Are you
14:49
Speaker 2: capable of being above the law or are you not
14:52
Speaker 2: capable of being above the law? Or is this just
14:55
Speaker 2: one of those cherry pick things where we decide when
14:57
Speaker 2: it's important and when it's not important. Is it only
15:01
Speaker 2: important when there's a political advantage to it, and when
15:06
Speaker 2: that political advantage swings your way? Is that the advantage
15:10
Speaker 2: is that what we're ultimately looking for is how do we, uh,
15:15
Speaker 2: how do we see this play out to our advantage?
15:20
Speaker 2: If we can keep someone for running for president by
15:25
Speaker 2: hanging that felon on them. Didn't work. It's weird that
15:30
Speaker 2: it didn't work. It really is kind of weird. It's
15:32
Speaker 2: kind of nice that it didn't work. I mean, it's
15:34
Speaker 2: very nice that that didn't that's as a strategy. Maybe
15:37
Speaker 2: could be thrown out. I don't know, Maybe we'll continue
15:39
Speaker 2: to see it, but it is wild that it didn't track.
15:45
Speaker 2: People talked about it briefly. They realize this isn't doing
15:49
Speaker 2: well in polling. Maybe we should stop saying this. So
15:55
Speaker 2: then it's okay to say they have to abide by
15:58
Speaker 2: the law. They have to fall of the law, even
16:02
Speaker 2: though it's a law that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
16:06
Speaker 2: both broke and both were treated as misdemeanors and both
16:09
Speaker 2: paid fines for it, and it was both much more well.
16:13
Speaker 2: Hillary's was more sinister, Barack's was just way more money.
16:17
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they ever found like to
16:19
Speaker 2: account for it. At least Trump knew where his money went,
16:23
Speaker 2: and the defense was all I did was write a
16:25
Speaker 2: check to the lawyer, and he took care of it.
16:28
Speaker 2: Which is a plausible excuse. But he can't be above
16:33
Speaker 2: the law. He can't be. He's got to feel it.
16:36
Speaker 2: We have to prosecute him in New York for all
16:39
Speaker 2: these real estate crimes that happen all the time, apparently
16:44
Speaker 2: even by the Attorney general there, or at least allegedly.
16:50
Speaker 2: You have to say that allegedly. And then people that
16:54
Speaker 2: come in the country and break the law by being
16:57
Speaker 2: in the country, and people want them deported because let's
17:03
Speaker 2: be honest, you come in and if you're just kind
17:08
Speaker 2: of riding out a five to ten year free ride,
17:14
Speaker 2: waiting on something to change, waiting on amnesty, waiting on
17:18
Speaker 2: I don't know, a different administration to come in and
17:22
Speaker 2: keep handing you things so that you'll keep voting for
17:24
Speaker 2: them once you get the right. Well, it's okay to
17:26
Speaker 2: be above the law, you don't have to follow it.
17:30
Speaker 2: What is that inconvenient law about people just coming in?
17:34
Speaker 2: So I mean, maybe they were saying, like, no one's
17:38
Speaker 2: above the law, but they are not necessarily agreeing that
17:41
Speaker 2: no large group of people is above the law. Today's
17:44
Speaker 2: show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola
17:47
Speaker 2: Space Science Center. Inspiring and educating the youth and future
17:53
Speaker 2: STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
17:59
Speaker 2: I mean they do it for school age kids as
18:02
Speaker 2: school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
18:04
Speaker 2: but they also do it through their university programs where
18:07
Speaker 2: you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
18:13
Speaker 2: space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you
18:17
Speaker 2: can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their
18:21
Speaker 2: website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out
18:27

19:38
Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
19:41
Speaker 2: commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's
19:47
Speaker 2: time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
19:51
Speaker 2: that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks
19:54
Speaker 2: at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of
19:57
Speaker 2: squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you
20:00
Speaker 2: can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
20:03
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
20:06
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
20:09
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
20:11
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:14
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:18
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
20:21
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
20:25
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:28
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:31
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:34
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:37
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
20:40
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:42
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:44
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:46
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:49
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:52
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:54
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:58
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
21:01

21:11
Speaker 2: Right after the break, we're gonna ask you to pray
21:22
Speaker 2: for my friend and former colleague, Brian Waters. You may
21:26
Speaker 2: know the name after I don't know how many years
21:29
Speaker 2: he was on Rock one O three here in Columbus
21:34
Speaker 2: UH and a few other stations around as well. Brian Friend,
21:40
Speaker 2: former former colleague. He was my boss for a while
21:45
Speaker 2: in radio, in my early days of radio. And he
21:50
Speaker 2: has learned very recently, after some health issues that he's
21:55
Speaker 2: been having for the past maybe six months, that some
22:01
Speaker 2: exploratory surgery was done at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, and
22:05
Speaker 2: he found out that he has stage four cancer. Caught
22:10
Speaker 2: him by surprise, caught I guess family by surprise. They
22:15
Speaker 2: are preparing to start chemo and he's already had the
22:20
Speaker 2: port installed and he's in good spirits. He says he
22:25
Speaker 2: is prepared for fighting with everything that he's got to
22:29
Speaker 2: reclaim his life, and he's very thankful for those who
22:36
Speaker 2: have been supportive of him and for those that have
22:39
Speaker 2: been praying for him. I share it because he's now
22:42
Speaker 2: gone public with this. I've known about it a little
22:45
Speaker 2: while as things were starting to happen, but I wanted
22:48
Speaker 2: him to be able to share this in his time
22:51
Speaker 2: and when he was ready, and he and you know,
22:55
Speaker 2: some radio friends and just personal friends have been doing
23:00
Speaker 2: things for him to help him out and one of
23:03
Speaker 2: those things that you can do for him is to
23:06
Speaker 2: pray for him, keep him in your prayers. He's, you know,
23:09
Speaker 2: one of those guys that's been around broadcasting and media
23:13
Speaker 2: in Columbus for a very long time, and he just
23:17
Speaker 2: needs your prayers. And it's a battle that he's prepared
23:24
Speaker 2: for and it's a battle that he's ready to face,
23:26
Speaker 2: and that is what he's gotten ahead of him. But
23:29
Speaker 2: I just wanted to share that with you. So cam
23:35
Speaker 2: Ward number one overall pick in the NFL Draft by
23:38
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. He wore number one in college. That
23:42
Speaker 2: was his jersey number. That number is retired by Tennessee
23:46
Speaker 2: because you may remember the Tennessee franchise moved from Houston
23:51
Speaker 2: formerly the Oilers, and there was a guy that wore
23:55
Speaker 2: number one there who's a Hall of Famer and legendary quarterback,
23:59
Speaker 2: Warren Moon. Well, Warren Moon decided to give his blessing
24:03
Speaker 2: and unretire the number one so that cam Ward can
24:07
Speaker 2: wear it. Ward sounded like he was inspired by the
24:10
Speaker 2: gesture from Moon, and Ward said, I'm trying to get
24:14
Speaker 2: up to his level one day. It might take a
24:17
Speaker 2: little time, but I'll get there. Eventually he's a Hall
24:19
Speaker 2: of Famer for me to wear that same number as
24:22
Speaker 2: an honor. Conversely, Lawrence Taylor has declined Abdual Carter the
24:30
Speaker 2: number one, number three overall, but number one first one
24:34
Speaker 2: of the two first round picks, I should say for
24:37
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. Carter said he would really like
24:41
Speaker 2: to wear the number fifty six. I suppose to honor
24:44
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor. And Lawrence Taylor came back with a very
24:48
Speaker 2: different response than Warren Moon and says he's not going
24:51
Speaker 2: to unretire it, and he says for positive reasons. Got
24:55
Speaker 2: dressed this a little bit yesterday, but he basically said, look,
24:58
Speaker 2: make your own number great. I'll be there behind you.
25:01
Speaker 2: I'll be there to support you. But you should you
25:05
Speaker 2: should do the You should make the Abdual Carter number
25:08
Speaker 2: special and not have to worry about the Lawrence Taylor number.
25:12
Speaker 2: It's a very different approach to it. But I understand.
25:16
Speaker 2: I mean, I get the unretiring numbers in some cases,
25:21
Speaker 2: but I don't. I don't overall. I don't. To me,
25:27
Speaker 2: what's the point of retiring a number if you can
25:29
Speaker 2: just unretire it and have someone else wear it. Now,
25:32
Speaker 2: that's already happened in New York. Malik Neighbors is wearing
25:36
Speaker 2: a number that was unretired so that he could wear it.
25:39
Speaker 2: So I get it. But there's some numbers you just
25:42
Speaker 2: associate with certain people, you know, the Broncos. Seven's done right,
25:49
Speaker 2: thirteen's done in Miami. There's just some numbers that you say,
25:53
Speaker 2: we're not unretiring them. Fifty six is one of those numbers.
25:56
Speaker 2: It's just a reality, all right. That'll do it for
25:59
Speaker 2: this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
