Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the Wes Carroll Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, fifth day of November. I'm Wes. Thanks for
0:17
Speaker 2: joining me. A lot of time yesterday spent looking back
0:24
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out what happened. Look, we addressed
0:28
Speaker 2: a lot of this stuff yesterday morning and, you know,
0:32
Speaker 2: groggy and tired and, you know, the Iran war is
0:38
Speaker 2: going to be ultimately to blame for all of this.
0:42
Speaker 2: I don't think that there was, it was all bad
0:47
Speaker 2: as far as the Iran war goes. I do think
0:52
Speaker 2: The timing of the attacks was probably more important than
0:56
Speaker 2: most of us realize. However, when it started, it seemed like, okay, well,
1:04
Speaker 2: this is probably a necessary thing that needs to happen.
1:07
Speaker 2: And then as it went on and it went on
1:10
Speaker 2: and it went on, then it became more and more
1:12
Speaker 2: clear that this was something that needed to wait until
1:16
Speaker 2: after election day for the midterms. And ultimately, when you could...
1:23
Speaker 2: hear stories of Iran, the people of Iran, and leadership,
1:31
Speaker 2: not the citizens, not the citizens, but the leadership in Iran,
1:36
Speaker 2: spiking the football and celebrating this win for Democrats. At
1:41
Speaker 2: the very least, it should make you think for a
1:45
Speaker 2: second whose side you're on when you hear that, if
1:49
Speaker 2: you voted for in this election and your side won
1:54
Speaker 2: because you were on the same side as Iran that
1:56
Speaker 2: doesn't make you bad that doesn't make you wrong it
2:00
Speaker 2: does I think at least cause reason to just pause
2:03
Speaker 2: for a minute and think about some of the things
2:05
Speaker 2: that you've celebrated and said against Iran's enemies and if
2:09
Speaker 2: you're one of those people if you did nothing but
2:12
Speaker 2: just go well I voted with my my heart and
2:14
Speaker 2: this is what I thought it should be I think
2:17
Speaker 2: you're you know there's no blood on your hands you're
2:20
Speaker 2: clean But if you just voted because you hate a
2:23
Speaker 2: guy and you realize that our enemy hates the guy
2:27
Speaker 2: and they wanted you to vote against his party, then,
2:31
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you should take a minute. And if
2:34
Speaker 2: you've been spewing any sort of anti-Semitic rhetoric, then yeah,
2:39
Speaker 2: you probably really should take a long pause. But I
2:43
Speaker 2: don't think I got anybody listening here that fits that.
2:46
Speaker 2: If you voted Democrat, you're probably... reasonable human being and
2:51
Speaker 2: you just wanted your party to win. I think you
2:53
Speaker 2: probably didn't do your party a service. I don't think
2:57
Speaker 2: you did that at all. I think you've handed the
2:59
Speaker 2: party over to people that probably don't have the same
3:02
Speaker 2: views as you if you're a moderate Democrat. If you're
3:05
Speaker 2: an extremist, then you probably don't care. And again, you
3:10
Speaker 2: might actually be good with Iran celebrating the win and
3:15
Speaker 2: You might be good with the anti-Semitism. I don't know.
3:17
Speaker 2: I don't know where you're at. I just know that
3:21
Speaker 2: if you're just a moderate Democrat who, you know, probably
3:26
Speaker 2: just need to take a breath and go, what have
3:27
Speaker 2: we done? That's what I think. That's my thoughts on it.
3:31
Speaker 2: But a lot of Republicans are looking back at the
3:34
Speaker 2: last two years and going, what have we done? In 2024,
3:38
Speaker 2: it was an election that, you know, There was a
3:44
Speaker 2: very strong exclamation point that was delivered to the entire country.
3:50
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of people who crossed the
3:51
Speaker 2: lines and came over and voted for Trump that immediately
3:55
Speaker 2: went back across those lines and said, this is not
3:59
Speaker 2: what we were promised. See, after COVID, we were promised
4:04
Speaker 2: some sort of, you know, getting the economy started again.
4:08
Speaker 2: And Democrats did not deliver on that. We basically were
4:13
Speaker 2: told by a Biden campaign, and I don't say Biden,
4:18
Speaker 2: it was someone in the campaign that was telling him
4:20
Speaker 2: what to say and feeding questions to reporters and him
4:24
Speaker 2: already having the answers and knowing who was going to
4:26
Speaker 2: ask them, and that's just the way that went. And
4:29
Speaker 2: that campaign, through him being the mouthpiece and some of
4:34
Speaker 2: the other people that were the mouthpieces for that campaign,
4:39
Speaker 2: they basically said, this is what we're going to do.
4:40
Speaker 2: We're going to give you some kind of economic recovery.
4:42
Speaker 2: We're coming out of COVID. We're going to make this better.
4:46
Speaker 2: We're going to hit COVID head on. We're going to
4:50
Speaker 2: deal with it. And we're going to tell you that
4:51
Speaker 2: you got to get vaccinated. And we're going to tell
4:53
Speaker 2: you all the things to get back to life. And
4:57
Speaker 2: we're going to take all the jobs that disappeared and
5:00
Speaker 2: now have reappeared because we're lifting a lot of the
5:04
Speaker 2: sanctions and things that made it hard for people to work.
5:07
Speaker 2: And we're going to lift all of that and we're
5:09
Speaker 2: going to take credit for those jobs, those new jobs
5:13
Speaker 2: that were really just the old jobs that had been,
5:16
Speaker 2: you know, merged into another job. Like when you got
5:19
Speaker 2: that old bar of soap, you know, it's down to
5:22
Speaker 2: that tiny little sliver and you don't want to just
5:24
Speaker 2: throw it out. So you take it and you put
5:26
Speaker 2: it on the new bar of soap and you push
5:27
Speaker 2: it together real tight while you're in the shower and
5:30
Speaker 2: you meld it together. That's what they did. They took
5:33
Speaker 2: a job that was a job in 2019 and then
5:38
Speaker 2: a different job that was a job in 2019. They
5:40
Speaker 2: merged them together. Look at these new jobs that we made.
5:44
Speaker 2: That's what they did. They said, yes, we've given you
5:48
Speaker 2: some jobs. We're going to screw everything up when it
5:51
Speaker 2: comes to fuel and shipping around the country. We're going
5:55
Speaker 2: to start buying our fuel from Russia. They're going to
5:58
Speaker 2: use that money to start a war with Iran. That's
6:00
Speaker 2: what we're going to do. It's going to be great.
6:03
Speaker 2: And you guys are going to like it. We're going
6:04
Speaker 2: to pass any legislation that we can, that we can
6:07
Speaker 2: just kind of sneak around the Republicans or the Republicans,
6:13
Speaker 2: you know, plus a couple of standout Democrats that said,
6:16
Speaker 2: no way, I'm Joe Manchin, I'm not going to let
6:19
Speaker 2: this happen, or I'm Kirsten Sinema, I'm not going to
6:21
Speaker 2: let this happen. And then they did that, and then
6:24
Speaker 2: they finally got enough, they got Manchin on board to
6:29
Speaker 2: go with what they were going to do, and they
6:31
Speaker 2: said these green... energy things we got to do are
6:35
Speaker 2: more important because by golly, we got donors that are
6:38
Speaker 2: investors in that and we got to make this happen
6:41
Speaker 2: for them. So that's what they did. And they left
6:45
Speaker 2: us all hanging as they said, you know, yes, we're
6:48
Speaker 2: coming out of this horrible pandemic that we, at the
6:52
Speaker 2: very least, I don't care where you are on the
6:54
Speaker 2: very least. They, they made it worse just in, in
6:58
Speaker 2: conversation than it was. It was bad. I know some
7:02
Speaker 2: people who say it was just a cold, big deal.
7:04
Speaker 2: I'm not in that camp. I know some people that died.
7:07
Speaker 2: I have people that I care about that died from COVID.
7:10
Speaker 2: I'm not in that camp, but I am in the
7:13
Speaker 2: camp that says, you know, they took advantage of it.
7:16
Speaker 2: They turned it into a political weapon and they used
7:20
Speaker 2: it to get Trump out of office because that's what
7:22
Speaker 2: they do. It's what they always do. They take a
7:25
Speaker 2: tragedy and they make it something that they can and use.
7:29
Speaker 2: And that's what they did. It's a strategy. That's what
7:32
Speaker 2: they did. It happened. So they didn't look out for us.
7:36
Speaker 2: They didn't say, hey, you guys need every dollar. You
7:40
Speaker 2: guys need a break. They said, we're going to push
7:42
Speaker 2: inflation higher than it's ever been. That's what we're going
7:45
Speaker 2: to do instead. We're going to do some things where
7:49
Speaker 2: we are going to push it higher than it has
7:53
Speaker 2: ever been before. And that'll teach you. That'll teach you
7:57
Speaker 2: for voting for us. And then that's what happened. And
8:00
Speaker 2: then we got just a horrible four years of that administration.
8:06
Speaker 2: And then you get around to 2024 and here's Trump
8:11
Speaker 2: after being, you know, shot after being on another attempted
8:15
Speaker 2: shooting or a multiple people trying to shoot at him.
8:18
Speaker 2: You had the situation where they arrested him. They looked
8:22
Speaker 2: for everything that they could do. to keep him off
8:25
Speaker 2: the ballot because, by golly, he was trying to end democracy,
8:29
Speaker 2: but they didn't want to give you a chance to
8:30
Speaker 2: vote for him. That's what they did. And then the
8:35
Speaker 2: American people were like, well, wait a minute. They're not
8:37
Speaker 2: helping us. He says he's going to help us. Things
8:41
Speaker 2: were pretty good before COVID. People looked back and went, well,
8:45
Speaker 2: wait a minute. We actually had money. Now we don't,
8:48
Speaker 2: and it's horrible, and they're still blaming him for it.
8:52
Speaker 2: And in reality, it was COVID and how most of
8:54
Speaker 2: the governors around the country handled COVID that made things
8:57
Speaker 2: so bad. So here's what we're going to do. We're
8:58
Speaker 2: going to give him another shot. So he gets in
9:01
Speaker 2: there and he's like, all right, I'm ready to fix
9:03
Speaker 2: the economy. And what does he do? I'm not going
9:05
Speaker 2: to go to war. No new wars. I'm not going
9:07
Speaker 2: to do all this. We're going to make things better
9:09
Speaker 2: for the American people. We're going to get the gas flowing.
9:12
Speaker 2: We're going to get some energy. And we're going to
9:15
Speaker 2: be ready to do this. And then in the first
9:19
Speaker 2: two years, uh, we get into a war with Iran
9:22
Speaker 2: and that makes gas prices go up again. That makes inflation.
9:25
Speaker 2: Now inflation wasn't at the record levels. Don't kid yourself. Uh,
9:31
Speaker 2: that's not exactly what happened. Uh, however, um, we, uh,
9:39
Speaker 2: did have a situation where, uh, inflation was not, uh,
9:43
Speaker 2: helping it. It didn't go down. He promised it would
9:46
Speaker 2: go down. That's the problem. That's the real problem. He said,
9:49
Speaker 2: it's going to go down. I'm not going to start
9:51
Speaker 2: any new wars. I'm not going to get involved in it.
9:53
Speaker 2: That's not what we do. And we are going to
9:58
Speaker 2: get those gas prices under control. They were for a
10:00
Speaker 2: little bit. And then we get into this war. And
10:05
Speaker 2: the war is it. This is what happened. Trump maintains
10:08
Speaker 2: that we needed to do it when we did it.
10:10
Speaker 2: I do think there's a lot of things going on
10:13
Speaker 2: on a large-scale geopolitical way that most people don't understand,
10:18
Speaker 2: don't see it, and don't care. Most people are looking
10:23
Speaker 2: within our borders and not outside our borders. That's what
10:27
Speaker 2: they do. That's what we should do. That should be
10:30
Speaker 2: our first priority, is worry about what we're doing. There
10:33
Speaker 2: are cases where you need to say, look, we can't
10:35
Speaker 2: let a nuclear bomb get flung into Israel and cause
10:41
Speaker 2: the end of times, which is what Iran was hoping
10:44
Speaker 2: to do. So I get that. You have to be
10:47
Speaker 2: very aware of those kinds of things. However... taking care
10:53
Speaker 2: of Americans inside America should be the priority first and foremost,
10:58
Speaker 2: and that includes, again, a policy that, you know, follow
11:03
Speaker 2: the law, get people out of the country that aren't
11:05
Speaker 2: supposed to be here, and don't let them suck on
11:08
Speaker 2: the government teat, because that's not helping anybody. But that's
11:13
Speaker 2: not what the message was here. The message was Trump bad,
11:16
Speaker 2: socialism good, We're not going to say communism, but we're
11:20
Speaker 2: going to be right there on the edge of it.
11:22
Speaker 2: We're just kind of toes right at the edge of
11:25
Speaker 2: the line. Toes so close to the line it would
11:29
Speaker 2: be disputed in an NBA game if you hit it
11:33
Speaker 2: and they'd go, I don't think that was a three.
11:34
Speaker 2: That was a two. It'd be disputed like that. That's
11:36
Speaker 2: how close they were to the line. And we all know.
11:39
Speaker 2: We know what was happening. We knew that's where it was,
11:43
Speaker 2: and a lot of Americans didn't care. Because this ultimately
11:47
Speaker 2: was what it always is. It's about getting people passionate
11:51
Speaker 2: and angry and ICE is bad and Israel is bad
11:55
Speaker 2: and Trump is, of course, the worst, except for whoever
11:58
Speaker 2: runs for president in 2028. They're going to be worse
12:02
Speaker 2: if it's Vance or if it's Rubio or if it's
12:04
Speaker 2: DeSantis or whoever it is. They're worse than Trump, but
12:07
Speaker 2: he's the worst. It's their thinking. It's always the way
12:11
Speaker 2: that they think. So they promised us, again, they're going
12:14
Speaker 2: to get things under control. They're going to get this
12:16
Speaker 2: economy on track. They're going to get prices down. They're
12:19
Speaker 2: going to get gas prices. They're going to get all
12:21
Speaker 2: this stuff under control. Are they though? Are we going
12:25
Speaker 2: to spend the next two years of them not being
12:27
Speaker 2: able to get anything done? Because it's going to be tough.
12:31
Speaker 2: It's going to be tough for both sides. This is
12:32
Speaker 2: the way it works. And this is part of that thing.
12:35
Speaker 2: We're going to have that two-year grind. And people are
12:38
Speaker 2: going to say, well, Congress should be helping Trump, and
12:41
Speaker 2: Trump should be helping Congress, and that's not the way
12:43
Speaker 2: it's worked for a long time. I remember one of
12:47
Speaker 2: my friends was complaining all the time about the Obama
12:51
Speaker 2: presidency when Republicans took control of Congress, and why aren't
12:56
Speaker 2: they helping him out? Is it their job to help
13:00
Speaker 2: him out? Is that really their job? I mean, they
13:03
Speaker 2: should work together, yes, but should they just bend on
13:06
Speaker 2: every whim that he has and say, we're going to
13:09
Speaker 2: do all of these things that our constituents don't want,
13:14
Speaker 2: including this Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, but they should be
13:19
Speaker 2: helping him. I don't think this person's going to be
13:22
Speaker 2: saying the same thing right now when this new Congress
13:26
Speaker 2: all gets sworn in. And I don't think this new
13:30
Speaker 2: batch of senators are going to show up in the
13:33
Speaker 2: Members of the house are going to show up and
13:34
Speaker 2: they're going to, well, are they just helping Trump do
13:36
Speaker 2: whatever he wants to do? Um, it's a pretty strong, uh,
13:42
Speaker 2: statement that was delivered. And, you know, I do think
13:45
Speaker 2: at some point it would be nice if both sides
13:49
Speaker 2: would come together and say, you know what, let's, let's
13:51
Speaker 2: start trying to work together. It's not going to happen.
13:55
Speaker 2: That's not what we do. Uh, folks on the right
13:58
Speaker 2: are licking their wounds. Folks on the left spike in
14:01
Speaker 2: the football. It's just the way it goes until the
14:04
Speaker 2: next one. It's like any sporting event. You celebrate your win,
14:09
Speaker 2: you mourn your loss, and you get ready for the
14:13
Speaker 2: next game. Some fans know how to win with grace.
14:16
Speaker 2: Some fans know how to lose with grace. Some fans
14:20
Speaker 2: are obnoxious. Some fans in victory, and some fans are
14:26
Speaker 2: obnoxious in defeat. That's just how it goes. That's what
14:31
Speaker 2: we're looking at for the next two years. And we're
14:33
Speaker 2: already speculating, well, what happens next? What do we do next?
14:38
Speaker 2: Where do things go? What's the message that was delivered
14:41
Speaker 2: with the first female black governor that was elected in Georgia?
14:47
Speaker 2: What does that say? Does it say anything about Georgia
14:51
Speaker 2: or does it say anything about the whole country? And
14:53
Speaker 2: that's a question that we'll have. What does it say
14:56
Speaker 2: about many of the historic firsts that took place in
15:02
Speaker 2: some of the other races? That's great. But again, these firsts,
15:06
Speaker 2: do they mean anything if the person can't govern? Do
15:09
Speaker 2: they mean anything if the person can't do the job?
15:12
Speaker 2: Does it mean anything if they've had other jobs that
15:16
Speaker 2: were historic in some way or important in some way
15:19
Speaker 2: and failed at those? Does it mean anything if they
15:23
Speaker 2: can't do the job and they can't cross the aisle
15:26
Speaker 2: and work together? I don't know that any of them can.
15:32
Speaker 2: I don't know how many of them actually ever will.
15:34
Speaker 2: I just know we need to settle in for a
15:38
Speaker 2: long two-year grind of where things are going to go
15:42
Speaker 2: and get ready because this new group of Democrats coming
15:48
Speaker 2: in aren't going to be able to get anything done, really.
15:50
Speaker 2: Not all the things that they promised. And if they don't, well,
15:53
Speaker 2: guess what? There's another election in two years. Today's show
15:57
Speaker 2: brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center,

16:54
Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
16:56

17:29
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming astronomy night

Speaker 2: Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
18:10

Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
18:22
Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
18:25
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
18:28
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
18:32
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
18:35
Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in
18:38
Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
18:41
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
18:44
Speaker 2: door system. that you can put down and you can
18:47
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor, but indoor,
18:51
Speaker 2: you know, if you like to work on your own
18:53
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
18:56
Speaker 2: man cave that you'd like to be able to open
18:57
Speaker 2: the door up and not invite all the insects in.
19:00
Speaker 2: They can do that for you as well. And again,
19:02
Speaker 2: they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
19:05
Speaker 2: thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
19:08
Speaker 2: your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
19:11
Speaker 2: come help. And they do those as well. 706-358-4500, 706-358-4500, odccolumbus.com.
19:22
Speaker 2: More West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Scientists
19:34
Speaker 2: in Singapore have developed the world's first touchscreen woven directly
19:41
Speaker 2: into the sleeve of a shirt. And yeah, you can
19:44
Speaker 2: put it in the washing machine. The Breakthrough Tech is
19:48
Speaker 2: a bendable screen on your arm that lets you run
19:51
Speaker 2: a calculator, check photos, and even take your body temperature
19:56
Speaker 2: with the tap of your finger. It survived 50 cycles
19:59
Speaker 2: through a normal laundry wash without breaking, while it does
20:02
Speaker 2: need some upgrades before it replaces your smartphone. Scientists have
20:06
Speaker 2: come a long way in... basically making your jacket sleeve
20:14
Speaker 2: a digital dashboard wearable digital screen clothing I don't maybe
20:22
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing big picture here I just don't see
20:25
Speaker 2: the need for this yeah it's kind of neat I
20:28
Speaker 2: guess and you know the ability to wash it is
20:33
Speaker 2: there's a novelty to that of course but I don't know,
20:36
Speaker 2: it just looks very gimmicky when I look at the
20:39
Speaker 2: video of it. But hey, if it's something that you
20:41
Speaker 2: can do... But I mean, it says you can look
20:43
Speaker 2: at your pictures. What are you looking at? They look
20:47
Speaker 2: like something out of a... I don't know, an Atari
20:49
Speaker 2: video game. That's what the images look like on there. Hey,
20:54
Speaker 2: I'm definitely pro-Atari video games. I just don't know the
20:58
Speaker 2: benefit in this. But I suppose if the technology gets better,
21:01
Speaker 2: as far as the images and things. In response to
21:06
Speaker 2: a California environmental law, Disneyland is pulling the plug on
21:10
Speaker 2: the gas engines powering the Autopia attraction, and it's now
21:14
Speaker 2: going fully electric. Disneyland already testing prototype electric vehicles for
21:19
Speaker 2: the ride that's been in the theme park since 1955.
21:24
Speaker 2: The new electric cars have been in place, have to
21:26
Speaker 2: be in place by February 1st, or the ride will
21:29
Speaker 2: be shut down completely because that's the way government is
21:35
Speaker 2: supposed to work. NASA is giving you a chance to
21:39
Speaker 2: send another digital boarding pass. Remember they did this for
21:44
Speaker 2: the Artemis mission, Artemis II, where you could send your
21:48
Speaker 2: name around the moon. Well, this time you can send
21:51
Speaker 2: your name a little deeper into space as it will
21:55
Speaker 2: travel to Saturn's largest moon. It's part of the Journey
22:00
Speaker 2: to Titan campaign. The space agency has opened a free
22:04
Speaker 2: online registry where you can sign up and have your
22:07
Speaker 2: name stashed on a microchip aboard the Dragonfly Rotorcraft. Rotorcraft.
22:13
Speaker 2: I left off the R. Rotorcraft. It's a pretty cool-looking
22:17
Speaker 2: little flying thing that's going to go to Titan. Scheduled
22:22
Speaker 2: for launch in 2028, the eight-bladed drone will spend six
22:26
Speaker 2: years traveling through space before landing on Titan in 2034.
22:30
Speaker 2: to look for signs of life, or at the very least,
22:33
Speaker 2: signs of life's chemical building blocks. Anyone who wants to
22:36
Speaker 2: be part of the journey has until January 15th to
22:40
Speaker 2: add their name to the digital boarding pass. Yes, mine's
22:45
Speaker 2: already been done, and I've also registered the Made of
22:49
Speaker 2: Stars podcast that will be traveling much like it did
22:54
Speaker 2: for the Artemis mission. Because you've got to do what
22:57
Speaker 2: you've got to do, right? Yeah. Back in 1998, Carl Bushby,
23:05
Speaker 2: a former British paratrooper, set off from the tip of
23:09
Speaker 2: Chile with a goal of walking around the world and
23:12
Speaker 2: returning to his home in Hull, England, entirely on foot.
23:16
Speaker 2: After 28 years, 30 countries, 31,000 miles, Bushby finally finished
23:22
Speaker 2: the adventure and knocked on his mom's front door during
23:26
Speaker 2: the walk home. He dodged polar bears. navigated shifting ice
23:30
Speaker 2: across the Bering Strait, swam both the Caspian Sea and
23:34
Speaker 2: the English Channel to avoid taking boats, and was delayed
23:37
Speaker 2: for years because of visa issues and rough weather in
23:41
Speaker 2: different countries. He started the trek when he was 29
23:43
Speaker 2: years old. He's now 57 and now has the big
23:48
Speaker 2: job of figuring out what to do next. He says
23:51
Speaker 2: it's like stepping across the event horizon into a black hole.
23:56
Speaker 2: I have no idea what's about to happen next. in
23:59
Speaker 2: my life. Probably next would be the interview circuit. I
24:03
Speaker 2: think there'll be a lot of people that would want
24:05
Speaker 2: to talk to him. I would talk to him. I'd
24:08
Speaker 2: be very curious to talk about all the things that
24:11
Speaker 2: he saw and he did. He's got a very Forrest
24:13
Speaker 2: Gump-like adventure, but his was just a one-time, like a
24:17
Speaker 2: one-way trip. He wasn't going back and forth across the
24:21
Speaker 2: country over and over again, right? So That'll do it
24:25
Speaker 2: for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our
24:29
Speaker 2: sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you
24:33
Speaker 2: back here tomorrow morning.
