Taking Bloodbath Out of Context · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day
0:06
and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Monday morning, eighteenth day
0:11
of March. I'm West thanks for joining me. Day after Saint Patrick's Day.
0:20
I hope you were able to celebrate moderately, behave yourself. I assume
0:30
most people when they think St. Patrick's Day, they don't think of the
0:32
true spirit of celebrating Saint Patrick. No, no, no, they think
0:37
about all the revelry and all those sorts of things. That's why I say,
0:41
I hope you were able to do it. If you're celebrating Saint Patrick,
0:45
if you spent extra time at church yesterday or learning about Saint Patrick,
0:51
well, then I hope you went above and beyond. I hope there was
0:53
no moderation to your day at all, to your celebrations. But if you
0:58
were lamming down green beverages or whiskeys or whatever you were doing, I hope
1:06
you did it in moderation, that's all. I hope you were being responsible
1:10
and all of those things. And I hope that. I mean, if
1:12
you're eating, you know, some of the Saint Patrick's food, I hope
1:19
you did that in moderation. Anything in moderation's good. I did the shepherd's
1:23
pie for the family. That's what they always ask for for Saint Patrick's Day.
1:27
And in our ongoing saga of getting our kitchen rebuilt, it we've got
1:37
walls, we've got a ceiling, we have our temporary sinks reinstalled, and
1:45
we have our something we haven't had since January. Second, we have our
1:49
stove installed connected to our gas. Yes, we have a functioning stove.
1:56
We're not using the hot plate anymore, at least not right now. I
2:00
suppose there could be a point when they're doing the floors. I don't know
2:02
how are the cabinets. I don't know which part of all of this that's
2:06
coming we'll cause the stove to be disconnected again. I guess not until they
2:10
do the floors. I guess that will be it when they do the final
2:15
put the final new floor down. So anyway, that was pretty exciting,
2:20
and we thought, well, this will be our chance now to actually cook
2:22
some food, actually cook some food in our house, in our kitchen,
2:28
not on a hot plate, and enjoy it. So we took advantage of
2:30
that because we couldn't really do a shepherd's pie not if you're going to get
2:35
the top, you know, you got to get the potato, real crispy
2:37
on top, put it in the broiler, and we could have tried to
2:40
make that work. I just don't think it would have done a very good
2:44
job in the toaster oven. You know, I don't know. We did
2:50
that. We enjoyed that, and I did have a couple of fingers of
2:53
whiskey last night, but that was at home, you know, while enjoying
2:59
really just sitting there are in the at home, you know, watch some
3:02
Father Ted yesterday. That's one of my other activities I like to do.
3:07
I didn't didn't do maybe like three episodes, my three favorite episodes of Father
3:13
Ted. If you're a Father Ted fan and you want to discuss favorite episodes,
3:16
we can talk about that. You can message me and we can talk
3:20
about that off of the show, because I don't want to spend too much
3:23
time talking about Speed three. That's all. That's my favorite episode, but
3:28
anyway, I think it's the best one. All right, So let's talk
3:31
about the president. Because Joe Biden his office and more importantly, the extension
3:42
of his office. The media has been running with a comment that was made
3:49
at the end of the week by the former president. As former President Trump
3:57
was speaking near Dayton, Ohio, and was talking about you visiting the rust
4:02
belt, you know, jumping in there, talking about car manufacturing, talking
4:09
about China, talking about Chinese cars manufactured Mexico, and he made a statement.
4:18
He used a word, and it's an interesting choice of words. And
4:23
we talk about sometimes about how Trump has a knack for using certain words.
4:30
And I really could not tell you if it's intentional or its accidental, but
4:38
sometimes there is a weird thing that happens. They sort of take a life
4:42
of their own after the fact. I don't think this is necessarily the word
4:47
I would have used. It's an odd word that he used. I'm sure
4:51
you know what the word is, because we've been hearing about this word,
4:56
this word choice basically in any media outlet that you might follow to get the
5:03
news. The word was bloodbath. Here's what he said, and I want
5:10
you to hear in full context exactly what he said in this speech, and
5:15
then we'll talk about the spiral that has come after the fact. Mexico has
5:20
taken over a period of thirty years, thirty four percent of the automobile manufacturing
5:28
business in our country, think of it went to Mexico. China now is
5:31
building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico.
5:36
And think they think that they're going to sell those cars into the United
5:41
States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China.
5:45
If you're listening, Presidency, and you and I are friends, but
5:47
he understands the way ideal those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're building in
5:54
Mexico right now, and you think you're going to get that, you're going
5:58
to not hire America and you're going to sell the cars. Now, we're
6:01
going to put a one tariff on every single car that comes across the line,
6:06
and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get
6:10
elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a
6:13
blood bath for the whole that's going to be the least of it. It's
6:16
going to be a blood bath for the country. That'll be the least of
6:18
it. But they're not going to sell those cars. They're building massive factories.
6:23
A friend of mine, all right, So there you go. He's
6:27
talking very clearly about it being a blood bath as it pertains to the auto
6:32
industry. He's not talking about a blood bath of violence across the country.
6:41
Hasn't stopped the Biden White House, hasn't stopped the Biden campaign, hasn't stopped
6:46
CNNMSNBC, hasn't stopped newspaper outlets all telling everyone Trump threatens a blood bath if
6:57
he loses the twenty twenty four election. Now, on one hand, you
7:03
would say, dear Trump campaign, dear President Trump. You use the word
7:11
in a way that it could have been used against you. But it's very
7:15
disingenuous for all these media outlets and for the Biden camp to pretend that he
7:23
was threatening violence on the American people if he did not win the election.
7:30
It's not only disingenuous, it's a lie. It's a pretty bold lie at
7:35
that, and it's pretty easy to fact check it. However, we know
7:42
that most people don't fact check these things. They hear it, they say,
7:46
uh, there's Trump being Trump. That sounds like something he would say,
7:49
and then they just sort of go with it and they and some people
7:54
will this will be something that will make them not want to vote for him.
7:57
I don't know how many people this would have effect on, but I
8:01
do think it only shores up more support for people who know that it's a
8:05
lie. We're planning to vote for him anyway, and they feel like it's
8:09
another nail in the coffin. As it pertains to they're setting him up and
8:13
they're trying to take him down. Now, my question is if you are
8:18
one of the people who says that, you know, maybe they're setting him
8:26
up, maybe they're going after him with all these indictments. But clearly,
8:31
if they're raising these concerns and filing these indictments, then he must have committed
8:39
some sort of crime. It's four of them, and he was impeached twice,
8:46
so he must have done something wrong. But let me just ask you
8:50
this, Okay, the two impeachments, we were told by then Nancy Pelosi,
8:56
who is the Speaker, that the impeachments were part of fulfilling campaign promises.
9:03
We told you we would impeach him if you gave us control of the
9:05
House. We have control of the House. We're going to impeach him.
9:11
We're not going to have the votes to do anything with it, but we're
9:13
going to impeach him because we want to put that stain on him, because
9:16
it's what our voters want us to do. Okay, that itself shows a
9:22
lack of integrity, that itself shows a lack of honesty and any sort of
9:28
ethics. And then to do it again as he was leaving office again for
9:35
the purposes of just saying, ah, he was impeached twice. We're trying
9:39
to make sure that he doesn't run again. We want to make sure that
9:41
American people will know he's the only person, only president to be impeached twice
9:46
in history. They wanted to hang that on him, that scarlet letter on
9:52
him that they wanted him to have to try to run a campaign with,
9:56
and it really set the tone for the the narrative of they're just trying to
10:01
get me, Because anybody who's paying attention to those two things realizes being impeached
10:09
sure could be considered embarrassing if I don't know, you were fooling around with
10:13
an intern in the White House in the Oval office. But is it if
10:20
it's just for the purposes of we promised folks in our campaign that we would
10:24
impeach you, so we're going to do it, and we know that you're
10:28
going to be acquitted, and we're going to do it anyway. I don't
10:31
think that's embarrassing. It's not like they're really exposing something about him. Now.
10:39
They've done a very strategic path to try to find different pressure points with
10:48
him with these indictments. I honestly think the one that might hurt him the
10:52
most was the one in New York trying to expose him for Oh, he
10:54
doesn't have the money to pay his fines. He's not as rich as he
10:58
says he was. His property not worth what he says it was worth.
11:01
I mean, I think that's the area where they felt like they could hit
11:05
him the hardest and embarrass him. And maybe so. But we know that
11:11
they've been doing this as a very strategic maneuver, but some people don't see
11:18
that. They still say, well, he must have done something wrong.
11:22
So if you listen to that audio clip and you're one of those people and
11:24
you realize, well, they've been lying to us about this bloodbath thing.
11:30
He didn't say it's going to be a bloodbath coast to coast of American people
11:35
and American lives are going to be lost. That's not what he said at
11:39
all. It's not even close. And if they're that comfortable lying to you
11:43
about it, right to your face, while screaming. We need journalism.
11:48
We need that branch that's sort of a sub branch of our government to keep
11:54
the politicians in check. We have a real problem with journalism. We have
12:00
for quite some time. It really got exposed during COVID. This is another
12:07
really bad black eye if people actually take time to pay attention to it.
12:13
If people hear Trump threatens a bloodbath if he loses, and they just swallow
12:18
it and just assume that it's true. Keep in mind that we have people
12:22
still in this country and out of the country, but that doesn't really matter,
12:28
does it. People in the country who honestly believe that Sarah Palin once
12:33
said that she could see Russia from her house because Tina Faye dressed as Sarah
12:39
Palin said it on Saturday Night Live. There are American citizens who go to
12:48
on election day, go to the polls and vote that are dumb enough to
12:52
believe that that really happened, because they just it's an ignorance. It's an
12:58
ignorance about what happened. They heard that it was said. Someone in a
13:03
media outlet ran with the story, and it was Tina Fey dressed as Sarah
13:09
Palin. Sarah Palin never said that. She said there's parts of Alaska where
13:15
you can stand there and you can look across and you can see Russia.
13:18
That's true. She didn't say you could see it from her house. Speaking
13:22
of people who dress like politicians, how interesting is it that Alec Baldwin on
13:31
Friday is trying to have the charges against him thrown out. You know this
13:39
whole case with the movie Rust, and this is the without going into the
13:46
full scope of all of it, but he is facing involuntary manslaughter charges in
13:54
that shooting. There were multiple people involved in it. One took a plea
14:01
deal, one has been convicted, and Baldwin faces I guess up to eighteen
14:05
months. Originally he was offered a plea deal and they told him, you're
14:11
going to have until October twenty seventh. It was early October when the deal
14:15
was offered, Mid to early October, maybe around the ninth. Twenty seventh
14:20
was supposed to be the deadline he would have to make the decision. And
14:24
then they pulled it away, I think on the I don't know, the
14:26
seventeenth or something, and they decided, no, we're going to prosecute well,
14:33
he says that this is just all a big old, ugly mess.
14:39
He says that they're just going after him, they just want to take him
14:43
down, and that there's a lot of corruption involved in this case against him,
14:50
and then it's the whole process is rigged. There's a rigged grand jury
14:56
process with biased witnesses and withholding of evidence. And he also says that the
15:05
witnesses. Three of the witnesses allegedly had financial ties to the prosecution, another
15:11
publicly blamed him despite not being on set. One says. He even says
15:16
that one of them was the prosecutor hired her boyfriend. Oh no, wait,
15:20
I'm thinking of a different case that came to some sort of weird kind
15:26
of conclusion on Friday as well as Fannie Willis was allowed to stay on,
15:31
but she had to let her boyfriend go. Certainly doesn't do great things for
15:35
that case here in Georgia. But anyway, they're going to continue on with
15:39
that and it may not happen now till after the election. I don't know
15:43
where all that stands, but it certainly doesn't help things. She's celebrating even
15:48
though she shouldn't be at all. It was bad, but back to Baldwin,
15:54
he says that the FBI report shows the gun could malfunction, tradicting earlier
16:00
claims that it only fired with the pulled trigger, which he says he didn't
16:03
do. He was the one holding the gun. He's the one who He
16:07
says, he didn't pull the trigger, but it went off in his hand.
16:11
He says that they're just going after him. They want to take him
16:15
down. I mean, is he is he? Is he doing Trump again?
16:21
You know he did it on SNL. I think he won an Emmy
16:22
for it. Is Is this just another Trump impression that he's doing, arguing
16:26
that it's corrupt and that it's rigged. I like that he's using the word
16:30
rigged. That certainly makes it sound more like he's doing a Trump impression,
16:33
doesn't it. So we'll see where all of this goes. But this could
16:38
could you know, Is it possible? Is it possible that Trump could go
16:44
to jail and Alec Baldwin go to jail and then both be in jail at
16:48
the same time. Is that possible? I don't know what the timeframe would
16:52
be with this, but that would be interesting, wouldn't it. You got
16:55
Trump and then the guy who pretended to be Trump on sn and I think
17:00
some people confuse that. I think some people get very confused by these people
17:03
that dress up like other people and do impressions of them. But anyway,
17:08
but that's an interesting I mean, it's just to me, I'm fascinated with
17:15
the fact that he's making the same accusations about his trial that Trump did.
17:18
I just think that's an interesting development and all of it and not surprising.
17:23
Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,
17:29
inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really
17:37
of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids as
17:41
school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do
17:45
it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
17:51
and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and you
17:56
can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org.
18:04
While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
18:08
this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State
18:15
University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can
18:21
get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in
18:22
Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
18:26
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus
18:33
inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of
18:38
Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
18:45
check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside.
18:48
Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get
18:52
outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and
18:56
you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night event and it's also on
19:00
their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says Charlie, Charlie
19:06
SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola
19:11
Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door
19:18
Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential maybe
19:23
you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:30
on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
19:34
Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and
19:38
while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
19:41
cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal
19:47
isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done
19:51
to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely.
19:55
Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
20:00
some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
20:04
that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:08
you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can
20:12
put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but
20:18
indoor, you know, if you like to work on your own cars in
20:21
there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
20:23
be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in they
20:27
can do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:30
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage
20:36
and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and
20:40
they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven
20:44
oh six three five eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
20:49
Morning Show right after the break all right. Yesterday, of course, with
21:02
Saint Patrick's Day, one hundred and seventy four percent more beer sold yesterday than
21:07
an average day in the US. One hundred and fifty three percent more spirits
21:12
were sold yesterday. Thirteen million pikes of Guinness consumed worldwide yesterday. That's a
21:19
lot. Sixty one percent of Americans celebrated, eighty percent of those celebrating war
21:26
green in some capacity. It says. Basically, Americans were expected to spend
21:33
about six point eight five billion celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. Fifty pounds of die
21:38
they used to turn the Chicago River green. Thirty six percent of men expected
21:45
to binge drink yesterday for Saint Patrick's Day, so average number of drinks consumed
21:51
on Saint Patrick's Day for a person, that's four point two. So let's
21:56
talk about obesity. Forty two percent of adults in the US are classified as
22:02
obese. It affects more than just overweight people. Obesity related medical treatments cost
22:07
about one hundred and ninety billion dollars a year, and sick days due to
22:11
obesity related issues cost four point three billion in productivity last year or each year.
22:19
While at Hub released their data on the most obese cities in the US,
22:25
with the rankings based on the number of factors that include percentage of obese
22:29
adults, percentage of physically inactive adults, access to healthy food, and some
22:34
other stats. According to their findings, the most overweight and obese city in
22:40
the US McAllen, Texas, and the top ten Jackson, Mississippi, Shreveport,
22:47
Louisiana, Mobile Alabama, Little Rock, Arkansas, Knoxville, Memphis,
22:52
Lafayette, Louisiana, Baton, Rouge, and Chattanooga rounding out the top ten
23:00
and just diving a little bit more in there, Birmingham was at the number
23:03
eleven spot, Columbia, South Carolina at twelve. Augusta is at number sixteen.
23:11
That's Augusta, Georgia'm trying to scan down a little bit. Charleston,
23:18
South Carolina there at twenty nine, trying to hit the southeast a little bit,
23:23
Huntsville, Alabama at thirty one, and I was trying to see if
23:30
Charlotte's at number fifty. I thought I saw Atlanta on here, but I
23:37
may have read something else. Maybe I was thinking about Augusta. Now,
23:42
as far as their top one hundred cities, Seattle, Washington was the least
23:48
obese, Honolulu, Boston, Denver, and San Jose. That's in reverse
23:55
order, beginning at number one hundred and counting down. So yeah, so
24:03
Augusta, I guess, placing at the top for Georgia, Birmingham placing at
24:08
the top for Alabama. So there you go. Oh, Atlanta sixty one.
24:15
I knew I saw it in there somewhere, and I had to find
24:18
it again. All right, This is an interesting thing, you know what's
24:22
going on with TikTok As they're looking to do a full on ban of TikTok
24:27
and they want to possibly force the Chinese Communist Party from having any involvement with
24:36
it, so they might have to sell it. But if it got shut
24:37
down, This is an interesting question that goes with it, and I guess
24:41
people have been asking this, but what would happen with the TikTok influencers.
24:47
As the TikTok economy generating millions of dollars through advertising and other means, a
24:52
ban could be more than an annoyance for some as users and before, but
25:00
this time TikTok has emailed its users and set up an in app message asking
25:03
them to contact representas and telling them to vote against the band, giving it
25:10
a little bit more of a real feeling according to some of the influencers involved.
25:15
So one influencer in particular, Abele and Salazar, I don't know who
25:21
that is because I don't have TikTok has been posting videos about makeup and fashion
25:26
for about three years and says I've been migrating some of my TikTok content Instagram
25:30
reels because I have a similar audience there. But some say that they don't
25:36
want to do business with Meta, and you know, that's one of the
25:38
things that former President Trump has been saying, is he doesn't want TikTok to
25:41
go away because he doesn't want Meta to benefit and he feels like Facebook and
25:45
Instagram are worse. I don't know how they could be worse than being basically
25:53
ingrained with the Chinese Communist Party, but he makes an interesting point that if
26:00
we're just shifting from one place to another, that's not necessarily a good thing.
26:06
So and finally, an Australian billionaire has been talking for a little while
26:11
now about it, and I guess maybe he's a little bit closer to building
26:17
a boat. Clive Palmer's his name. He's a seventy year old who's made
26:22
of twenty three billion dollars through mining, and he held a press conference this
26:27
past week to detail plans to spend money on what he's calling the Titanic two,
26:33
an exact replica of the nineteen twelve ocean liner. His plan was unveiled
26:41
ten years ago, project never really got underway and was shelve but now Palmer
26:44
says Titanic two is going to be built and it will be the ship of
26:48

a shipyard and expects to start work on the new Titanic early next year.

It all goes well, the maiden voyage will take place June twenty twenty seven,
27:03
and we'll sail from Southampton, England to New York, just as the
27:07
original Titanic tried to do. Good idea bad taste. I don't know where
27:15
you fall in it. I think it's probably from a business standpoint, a
27:18
really good idea. I think there will be people that will want to maybe
27:22
they don't want to get on the first voyage. Maybe they want to give
27:26
it, you know, a couple trips back and forth, make sure it's
27:32
all good, and then maybe they'll dive in. I don't know, that's
27:34
probably not the right words either, dive in. That'll do it for this
27:37
Monday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and our patrons. Got
