Is Disease X a Warning or a Plan? · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:09
Wednesday morning, fifteenth day of May, halfway through May. Don't know how
0:16
it's happened so quickly, but as I've been saying, it'll go really fast.
0:21
As we get closer and closer to election day, things are gonna start
0:24
getting nasty, gonna get heated. I guess. I mean, I don't
0:30
know. I've never seen a time when the people in my circle are absolutely
0:37
silent when it comes to Joe Biden. I'm not seeing posts, I'm not
0:43
seeing shares, I'm not seeing anything. Usually by this point there's some sort
0:48
of excitement, there's some sort of oh my gosh, this is my candidate,
0:53
this is who I want to be president. And it's just not there.
0:58
I've seen some from the people on the right, and I'll be honest,
1:00
I don't really pay attention to the specifics of the posts. I just
1:06
notice that the posts get made. I see them, and then I go
1:10
it's kind of a mental little checklist of here's what people are excited about or
1:14
worked up about, or whatever it is. And I'm gonna be honest,
1:19
I just don't see any sort of excitement when it comes to Joe Biden.
1:23
Now, this is just in my circle. This is just people that I
1:26
know. I do have many friends who are either left of center or even
1:32
some that are far left. Some of the far left ones are the ones
1:36
that they get told I guess that they're not supposed to be friends with me,
1:40
and they delete me, or they run from me when they see me
1:42
at the grocery store or whatever. I got a couple of those two see
1:46
them at the River Center asn't walking in, and they just duck away and
1:49
hide, and I just go, you don't have to do that. We
1:53
don't have to agree on things to be friends. It's perfectly normal for us.
1:57
Like you can't expect every but I think there is an expectation now that
2:01
everybody's supposed to all have the same exact belief structure and system and they have
2:07
to all agree on everything. Right. That's the new version of like colonizing.
2:13
It's you're supposed to force your beliefs on other people and then talk about
2:16
how bad it was that other people used to force their beliefs on other people.
2:21
Like it's weird, it's a weird, it's place to be, it's
2:23
a weird time to be alive. Speaking of the election, I just want
2:29
to quickly before I get into what I want to talk about today. I
2:32
just wanted to make an observation something that happened to me yesterday. I picked
2:38
Jacoup from school. I came home. As I was coming home, and
2:43
I happen to be driving the car that Jill typically drives. Yesterday, it
2:47
was getting low on gas. One of the things that I try to do
2:51
for her when especially if those situations, but anytime that I can take care
2:57
of it, I try to. She doesn't like putting gas in the car.
3:00
Nobody I don't know anybody likes it. That's a weird thing to be,
3:04
you know, really find enjoyable. I guess she doesn't like to do
3:08
it. It's a little different here than it is where she's from. She's
3:13
done it many times. She's been living here a long time. She's lived
3:16
here now longer than she's lived there. I don't like to point that out
3:19
to her, but she's been in the States longer than she lived in her
3:23
homeland. So that just probably part of you know, the fact that she
3:30
should should more be used to the machines here, I would think, But
3:35
she doesn't like doing it. She just she feels very vulnerable while she's doing
3:38
it. I think a lot of people do. I think Columbus has a
3:42
bit of a reputation of a town where you know, you just go,
3:46
especially at gas stations, you just got to be keeping an eye out,
3:50
got to have an eye behind you and an eye in front of you.
3:53
It's not easy to do, but you just have to be very aware of
3:55
things in most social circumstances. That's me anyway. I'm very aware of my
4:00
surroundings all the time, to the point of it being like I don't have
4:06
to sit with my back to the wall in a restaurant, but I'm much
4:11
more comfortable if I'm facing the door, and that's usually the case when I'm
4:14
at a party, at a gathering at someone's home. I'm more comfortable if
4:17
I know who's there, who's coming, who's going. It's just one of
4:21
those things. I do it at the gym, I do it in all
4:24
sorts of places. I'm constantly looking around. I just like to know who's
4:28
there. I don't like to be surprised, and I know that it's one
4:31
of those things where I'm convincing myself that I have some sort of control,
4:36
but I don't. We don't have any control over anything. We kind of
4:40
think that we do. We convince ourselves sometimes and then we get the harsh
4:43
reality sometimes that we're not. We don't have any control over anything, and
4:46
we just we're just have that false sense of security of some kind of control.
4:54
But anyway, so at the gas pump, I tend to look around
4:58
and make sure and I try to take care of making sure that the vehicle
5:02
that I know that she's going to be driving has a full tank. I
5:05
want to be able to do that for her. It's something that I do.
5:10
Okay, It's one of those things. All there's something in most relationships.
5:13
There's something that one person in the relationship does for the other that they
5:18
say, you know, i'd like to take care of this particular I know
5:21
you don't like doing it, so I like to do it for you.
5:24
And that's something that I like to do for her, and I don't mind
5:28
doing it as much as she does. I also do most of our shopping.
5:30
If you've seen me out grocery shopping, that's normal, that's what we
5:35
do. I prefer to go do it. She does not. I like
5:40
that little bit of there's a certain component of me getting something productive done,
5:47
right. I feel like if I'm doing this, I'm being productive. Jill
5:51
feels more productive at home doing other things. All of that to say,
5:57
yesterday I was in the vehicle that she normally drives from the carrol Fleet,
6:01
and I was ahead Jake, and I said, I'm gonna stop and I'm
6:04
gonna put some gas in the car. I stop, and as I'm at
6:11
the pump and I'm getting things started, I'm going it's a whole ordeal to
6:15
put gas in the car. Anyway, And this happens to be a place
6:20
where I've got one of those cards and I'm punching in a number and I'm
6:24
putting in my taking care of my you know, scanning my card so that
6:29
i can get the gas, and doing all my things. And then someone
6:31
comes up to are you registered to vote? And I turned quickly and I
6:36
say, oh, yes, I am. Everything up to date, your
6:42
current mailing address. Yes, all that's taken care of. Things. Don't
6:47
just short story here, don't or a short lesson here. Don't walk up
6:51
on somebody at the gas pump. Nobody wants that. No, I don't
6:57
know of anything good that's ever come from just a random person walking up to
7:00
me at the gas pump, and it was two people. They had on
7:03
T shirts. It had some slogan on it. I don't know what it
7:08
was. I was trying to see if it was one of the Stacey Abrams
7:11
slogans, because I know she's got all these voter groups that so I don't
7:15
know what was going on. But anyway, they were trying to, you
7:18
know, see if I was vote registered to vote, and if I was
7:21
had the correct mailing address so that I could vote. I don't know what
7:25
this organization was. I didn't I don't remember it. I was just trying
7:29
to scan around and see are they talking to me while somebody else is going
7:32
to jump me, you know, trying to be aware of all that stuff,
7:35
because that's what you gotta do. You got to be very aware.
7:39
You can't just talk to the person that comes up to you. You got
7:41
to know who. I see someone else in the same shirt, and then
7:45
I didn't see him again. They both disappeared, and I could tell she
7:47
probably picked up on the fact that I was not impressed that she walked up
7:50
on me while I was pumping gas. But anyway, so that's we're in
7:55
full swing for that. We're at that phase and I've started to get random
7:59
tess from you know, trying to poll me. I guess, hey,
8:03
are you registered to vote? Or who are you voting for? Starting to
8:07
get those Not a fan of that either, really not at all speaking of
8:11
polling. As we'll transition now over to you know, what's going on in
8:18
New York. Now we've seen the poll numbers, and these are going to
8:22
change, but it's starting to look like it might get completely out of hand
8:28
for the current president. As five of the six battleground states Trump has significant
8:35
leads in the polls, including a really big lead in Georgia. We'll see
8:41
how it all goes as we get closer, but it certainly appears that people
8:46
are fed up with the current economic situation. I know Biden at his press
8:52
conference yesterday, and I know the President said, hey, we're going to
8:56
do some things. We're going to make sure China's not taken over our electric
9:00
vehicles and all the things that apparently he thinks people need to hear or want
9:05
to hear right now. But it is definitely looking like there's now if the
9:09
numbers level back out again. That's one thing. If they continue to grow
9:16
for Trump, I don't know what the left can do. I don't know
9:20
what their emergency Breake Glass plan is if they're going with the polling numbers.
9:26
But he's the president, he's the sitting president, he's in charge of the
9:30
party, all of those things. Kamala Harris has worse numbers than he does,
9:35
so a bad situation that could be getting worse, it may improve for
9:41
them. I don't know. It's hard to trust polling numbers, all right.
9:43
What I really want to talk about today, aside from that is,
9:48
and we just talked not long ago. I think it was Bill McGuire,
9:54
University College London, direct co director of New Weather Institute, a professor Emeritis
10:05
Earth Sciences, University College London, Bill McGuire. I think this is the
10:11
same guy who's been screaming a bunch of crazy stuff about the environment for a
10:15
while, climate alarmist, if I remember correctly, And I think it was
10:20
him who just recently, But anyway, he's been one of the guys that
10:24
tells us we're all going to die, We're in big trouble. I think
10:28
this is the same guy, but one of the alarmists, and he posted
10:35
on X and this has now been deleted this I guess are they still called
10:43
tweets? On X He said this was on Saturday. If I am brutally
10:48
honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need
10:54
to to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown is the culling of human population by a pandemic
11:03
with a very high fatality rate. So this is his realistic the only realistic
11:15
way to save the planet. He's a climate alarmist. He says that we're
11:22
in bad shape and the only way to save everything, I guess the only
11:26
way to save the giant ice the whole planet turning to ice, like in
11:31
that movie or in that movie. And then al Gore stole some of the
11:35
CGI from that movie and put it in his documentary and won an Oscar for
11:39
it. And then they found out that he stole the some of the ice
11:43
footage, and then they didn't take the oscar away from him, So that
11:46
shows you that they got a real high standard there. But anyway, this
11:52
is he says, basically the only way to save it is to have a
12:00
culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate.
12:07
Now remember World Economic Forum, there was conversation about disease X that was brought
12:16
up at one point, and they said that disease X, according to the
12:22
World Economic Forum back in January, could be twenty times worse than COVID.
12:31
Now, according to them, this particular disease X, it doesn't exist yet,
12:41
but it could be twenty times worse than the COVID the coronavirus pandemic fatalities,
12:50
that's what they said. They said it could result in twenty times more
12:56
So. I don't know where McGuire is going with this. Is this something
13:01
that he thinks as far as culling. Is this something he's hoping for?
13:05
Is this something that seems to be I mean, I don't know. Does
13:09
he think this is the only real option that they can, you know,
13:16
save the planet. Now let me just say this, if let's just say
13:26
this, If you truly believe that the planet is going to die, you
13:35
think that everybody is going to die and that we're all all the planet will
13:41
be destroyed. I do think that some sort of extreme thing, you know,
13:52
we would be necessary to save the planet. The problem is, every
13:56
time they say these extreme things are going to happen, they never happen,
14:01
and quite frankly, the thought of releasing some kind of He didn't say specifically
14:05
that they needed to release it. He just said that the only thing that
14:09
could save us would be some kind of I mean, in his defense,
14:13
he's had a number of people online say, I guess because they captured his
14:18
message that here's one post from someone saying he said the human population needs culling.
14:28
Here's his response. Seems like a lot of people can't read. I
14:31
said the only way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to.
14:35
I did not say we need a pandemic. Says don't read things into a
14:39
statement that aren't there. I could have said society busting asteroid impact instead of
14:46
pandemic. But there's a difference between the society busting asteroid impact versus a pandemic
14:56
that we got to still have a lot of questions about how this thing started,
15:01
right, don't we all still have some questions about all of this.
15:05
I think there's a lot of questions that we need to ask because it would
15:13
be one thing if he said the asteroid, Hey, an asteroid crashing into
15:18
it would solve the problem. Versus, Hey, another pandemic, A pandemic
15:26
that could be it could cull the human population at a very high fatality rate.
15:35
See the danger here is if you believe it, and that's what I
15:37
was getting to a minute ago. If you believe that there's a problem,
15:41
then you could make the case that this needs to happen, and then you
15:46
could make the case that you need to do something about it. See this
15:48
is part of the problem when it comes to Hey, I think that we
15:56
have a major problem problem XYZ. So I think that if I were to
16:04
go and do something crazy that would cause the death of a lot of people
16:11
to get the attention, and then they try to justify doing that very thing.
16:15
That's exactly this. You start thinking about terrorists, you start thinking about
16:19
nine to eleven in the World Trade Center. Yet people that felt justified in
16:23
doing what they did, they convinced them that doing that was the right thing
16:29
to do. So if you start lobbing out thoughts like this, man,
16:33
the only way that we can get to the emissions changes that we need is
16:40
through another worldwide pandemic, and it needs to be one with a higher fatality
16:44
rate. When he deleted the tweet, he says, right, I am
16:48
deleting the initial tweet now, not because I regret it, but because so
16:52
many people out there have mistakenly or intentionally taken it the wrong way. So
16:57
there you go. I mean, I think we can kind of read what
17:03
he's saying. But here's the other part of this. Think about the fact
17:10
that the former president of the United States has been held into account for things
17:15
that he said that they interpreted to mean that he wanted people to go to
17:22
the Capitol building and go inside without ever actually saying it. So if this
17:27
is a person basically saying we kind of need a pandemic to cull the population
17:36
so that we can get emissions down, then I mean, if someone decided,
17:41
hey, maybe I need to release some sort of a you know,
17:47
a virus on the planet. Ultimately he finally did a reworded version. Emissions
17:52
have only fallen at times of major economic shock due to pandemic or otherwise a
18:00
much bigger one. Is the only way emissions will fall by at least fifty
18:03
percent in sixty six months needed to have any chance of dodging dangerous all pervasive
18:10
climate breakdown. So now we're at sixty six months. Is the amount of
18:18
time that is needed. And I've done a couple of shows on this very
18:22
topic. Sixty six months, let's divide sixty right by twelve. So now
18:34
he's saying five and a half years the only way we're going to fix this
18:37
problem in the next five and a half years, sixty six months by twenty
18:44
thirty. And I think, if I remember correctly, that was one of
18:48
the points that started it was in a twelve year stretch. They said by
18:52
twenty thirty, that was one of the twelve years. Oh, we're all
18:55
going to be dead and we're going to have this climate breakdown. So and
19:00
then he says, turning things around, would love to hear owmissions can be
19:03
cut by at least fifty percent in the next sixty six months without a major
19:07
socioeconomic shock that slashes economic activity. This must happen to have any chance of
19:14
sidestepping dangerous, all pervasive climate breakdown. So now it almost sounds like he's
19:18
asking what kind of thing can happen? What can be done? Again,
19:22
if you believe it, you're kind of if you think the whole planet is
19:26
doomed. If you don't do something, you're almost obligated to do something.
19:30
Right, So is he asking for people to you know, what they would
19:34
do, how they would handle it, because he's just lobbing out the question.
19:37
Now, if we're going to jump to those conclusions with Trump and the
19:44
Capitol Building, I mean, is it crazy to just kind of start wondering
19:48
what he's asking exactly and why he's asking it the way that he is.
19:53
Keep in mind, he's an extremist. He's one of those people that,
19:57
as I've said before, this whole climate alarm alarmism comes from a place of
20:03
it being a religion. These are the people. These are the street preachers
20:07
that stand on the corner and scream the world's going to end and we're all
20:11
going to die, and that you have to do the following things or we're
20:12
going to all die. That's what this is. These are those people on
20:17
the street corner, screaming and yelling. That's what this is. And if
20:21
you look at them and you dismiss them and you go, oh, they're
20:23
crazy, they're nuts. I don't know how you don't do the same thing
20:26
with people like this. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca
20:30
Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
20:38
STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they do it for
20:45
school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
20:48
but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering,
20:53
astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are boom right
21:00
now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
21:06
CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming
21:12
programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
21:18
Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
21:22
experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
21:26
you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in
21:30
Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
21:37
right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center.
21:42
And the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for
21:48
the shows and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up, where
21:52
you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Co Cola Space Science
21:56
Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want
22:00
any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
22:03
events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
22:08
says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands
22:15
for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
22:22
by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
22:25
commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
22:33
always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
22:37
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
22:41
away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
22:45
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
22:49
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you
22:53
need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
22:57
new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens
23:03
and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With
23:07
colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe
23:11
you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your
23:15
garage door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space
23:21
as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
23:23
work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
23:27
man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite
23:30
all the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and
23:33
again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
23:37
your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need
23:41
somebody to come help, And they do those as well. Seven oh six

O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break.
24:04
All right, I told you the other day I'd watched that documentary The Antisocial
24:08
Network, and about that whole movement becoming a thing. Now, there's elements
24:15
of all of this. Like I said, I'm not all down with this
24:18
idea that these people that started anonymous or somehow heroes or whatever because that's the
24:23
way that they were painted in it. But just following along that thought,
24:27
here's another example of where things are heading when it comes to handing too much
24:33
authority to people online and allowing them that space to do whatever it is that
24:38
they want to do. Here's the latest, the digital guillotine that we started
24:45
hearing about the guillotine at some of the college protests. Well, now the
24:48
Kardashians and das Selena Gomez and Taylor's oh not precious Taylor Swift are on the
24:55
digital guillotine because of this digitine campig. Someone from TikTok Hey, China,
25:04
who started this blockout movement, says, it's time for the people to conduct
25:08
what I want to call the digital guillotine, the digitine if you will,
25:12
It's time to block all celebrities, influencers and wealthy socializes who are not using
25:18
their resources to help those in dire need. We gave them their platforms.
25:22
It's time to take it back, take our views away, our likes,
25:26
our comments, our money, and according to reports, many celebrities who've appeared
25:30
on blocklists have seen the loss of tens or hundreds of thousands of followers since
25:37
the movement began. And they say some people Lizo is one who scrambled to
25:44
support Palestine once the movement got started again, trying to force your hand,
25:48
trying to force you into supporting something that you really just they're just maybe even
25:53
just trying to stay out of it. We know they went after Jerry Seinfeld
25:56
as he was speaking at the Duke commencement ceremony, and they don't like him.
26:03
I guess they're mad at him for being Jewish. I don't really understand
26:07
how some of this stuff works, but anyway, how many people have used
26:11
ozempic and similar drugs a lot? Apparently. According to a new survey,
26:15
one in eight American adults have taken ozempic or similar GLP one medications, and
26:22
six percent of Americans it's about fifteen million people are currently using the drug.
26:26
Sixty two percent say they have taken it to treat a chronic condition like diabetes
26:30
or heart disease, while forty three percent said that they have used the injectibles
26:36
to lose weight. By the way, Kelly Clarkson, I guess, was
26:38
questioned about it, and she said, I'm not using ozempic, but I
26:41
am using something similar for my weight loss. Again, as long as people
26:47
are able to use it if they need need it for their diabetes treatment or
26:51
heart treatment. Kind of got to get out of the way if it's just
26:55
about losing weight. However, losing weight can help you live a better,
27:00
better, healthier life. So anyway, I'm not gonna knock it, and
27:03
that's not what I've been doing. I want to make sure that that's clear.
27:06
I've just want to let you know about conditions like ozempic face and ozempic
27:12
but whatever they call it backside, maybe it's another a word, the ozempic.
27:19
The A word kind of seems to roll off, but I try to
27:22
avoid some of that on this show. After loads and loads of bad press
27:26
and multiple wrongful death lawsuits, Panera has finally decided to pull its charge lemonade
27:32
off the menu. The extremely caffeinated beverages, which have been linked to at
27:37
least two deaths and other cases of heart related problems, were offered at the
27:41
cafe chain without sufficient warning about the caffeine content. Panera eventually displayed a warning
27:48
about the caffeine, but continued to sell it. Now, the company says
27:52
it will phase it out over the next couple of weeks. The company said
27:56
in a statement that the charge lemonades will be replaced with new beverages and that
28:00
the company will be focusing next on the broad array of beverages we know our
28:03
guests desire, ranging from exciting on trend flavors to low sugar, low caffeine
28:10
options. A large charged elimonade contained about three hundred and ninety milligrams of caffeine,
28:17
which is the equivalent of about four cups of coffee. You know,
28:22
you start selling stuff that's got excessive amounts of caffeine and it probably want to
28:27
give people a heads up. I mean, I would think so. I
28:30
don't know anything about the death cases. I don't know when they say linked
28:34
to at least two deaths, I don't know the specifics on that. I
28:37
can't speak on that, but you probably want to give at least a heads
28:41
up, right, if you live near a bar, a fast food restaurant,
28:45
you should listen up. The American Heart Association recently did some research and
28:48
came to a not very surprising conclusion at all, you're at a greater risk
28:52
of heart failure. Researchers collected health records from more than five hundred thousand people
28:57
over twelve years and discovery that people who lived among bars, in fast food
29:03
places, or at least nearby them that was eleven or more within a half
29:07
mile radius, we're sixteen percent more likely to have heart failure than those with
29:15
no bars or fast food restaurants in their neighborhood. So eleven or more years
29:21
within a half mile radius not a shock. That's not a big shock if
29:26
you're more likely to hit it, especially if it's like on your drive home,
29:30
easy to get tempted. You know, it just seems like it would
29:33
be in in bars. You know it's easy to go there. And if
29:37
it's within a half mile radius, wow, I mean you can stumble home
29:41
from the bar, right, I mean, if it's a half mile you
29:45
can walk home from the bar. That'll do it. For this Wednesday edition
29:51
