0:01
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:05
day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Monday morning,
0:11
twenty second day of July. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me. How
0:20
was your National ice Cream Day yesterday? Let me tell you how mine went.
0:27
I was sitting at the Atlanta Braves game. Truest part Braves fell to
0:37
the Cardinals. I can't say much more than that because I don't have express
0:40
rent, express written consent of Major League Baseball. You got to have that
0:45
before you can give too much conversation about it. But I was there in
0:51
the park and one of the things that we did as a family a long
0:55
time ago. You know how, there's certain things you kind of accidentally start
1:00
traditions. It happens sometimes sometimes you can start a tradition and you go,
1:04
wow, look at this tradition that we did, and then sometimes you kind
1:10
of accidentally do it one of the traditions that we accidentally started, and we're
1:15
fine with it. It's okay. But anytime we go on vacation, especially
1:22
like to a new place, well even even places we've been before, our
1:26
boys expect that they're going to play mini golf. It just because that happened.
1:32
On some vacations. Jill often looks for places for the kids to play
1:38
mini golf and us we usually all play, and that's fine, that's what
1:42
we do. But sometimes we go places and we get towards the end of
1:47
the trip and maybe we haven't thought about mini golf and the boys say,
1:49
well, we haven't played mini golf yet, expect it. At some point,
1:57
going to a Braves game years ago, I broke down and did something
2:02
I normally don't do. I've talked to you many times about how I am,
2:08
how I am thrifty. At some point I got the boys ice cream
2:16
at a Braves game. And that's it. You go to a Braves game.
2:21
Now they expect ice cream. They expect me to get their Jill to
2:27
get them ice cream. That's the expectation. Okay, you have to do
2:31
it, have to have ice cream. We made a weekend out of sports.
2:38
We went Saturday, we left for Atlanta. We went to we checked
2:46
it. We had a hotel up near the near Truest Park, and then
2:51
we drove down back down into the city and then we went to the Atlanta
2:55
United game watch them get a win. It's exciting, a lot of fun
3:00
scored on two cornerkicks to win the game. I don't have express written concent
3:05
of Major League Baseball to talk about that much either, but Luke called both
3:09
of his shots. He was like, here we go. They're gonna score
3:13
on this corner kick. They're gonna score again on this corner kick. So
3:16
we had a good time there and then Sunday we stayed the night and then
3:21
Sunday we went to the Braves game. So at one point during the game,
3:28
Luke, I think, said when's ice cream? So I thought,
3:32
okay, I need to go find them their ice cream, and I did.
3:36
I went looking for ice cream, and I had to go a little
3:42
much farther than I wanted to go to find ice cream, but I got
3:45
on their ice cream. Paid a lot more for the ice cream than my
3:47
soul really wanted to, but I did it. So while I was getting
3:53
ice cream and coming back, and then I got to their seats and I
3:54
handed them their ice cream. Jake says, did you Joe Biden jumped out
4:01
of the race. So on National ice Cream Day, while I was purchasing
4:06
ice cream for my boys, our president, who is a big ice cream
4:15
fan decided to drop out of the race. I don't know that it could
4:19
get any better than the whole scenario. Just all all just fell into place.
4:25
It just seems like it was all meant to be. So we got
4:30
a lot of questions now that this has happened, Joe Biden will drop out.
4:33
He's not, you know, giving up the presidency. He says he's
4:36
he says he's confident enough to finish the term, but he's taking the hint
4:43
that the party says that they want him to go. A couple of thoughts
4:46
on this. I got many thoughts on this, but a couple of things.
4:50
I think the biggest concern here for the left is the down ballot stuff.
4:55
I don't know that they believe that Kamala Harris, who it seems is
5:00
going to be the canon. I don't know that they believe that she can
5:02
win. I think that they believe that maybe they can get enough support for
5:06
her that maybe some of those seats down the ballot they can hang on to
5:13
those. As you may have noticed, many of the people that have been
5:15
really worried about pushing Joe Biden away are people who are, you know,
5:20
in tight races they're in purple districts, They're in areas where they may or
5:26
may not be able to hang on. We've talked about the complications of them
5:30
trying to push somebody other than Kamala Harris into the pick. Now, Joe
5:35
Biden has endorsed her, that was his VP pick, So I mean you
5:40
would think he would be that he would endorse her to have the spot.
5:46
I don't think his wife is someone who would want Kamala Harris to have But
5:51
that's another The stories are they really really don't like each other, or at
5:58
least Joe Biden doesn't like Kamala. I don't know what the story is for
6:00
Commlin. So the party and this is official now, and I've talked discussed
6:06
this. The party that's been telling you for months that the Trump presidency two
6:20
point zero would be the end of democracy. That would be it. There
6:25
would be no democracy in our land ever again, that's it. It would
6:30
be over. We'd have nothing. America would cease to exist because our democracy
6:39
would end because that's what Donald Trump would do. And we've done shows about
6:45
how we're technically a democratic republic, a constitutional democratic republic, all those things,
6:54
but democracy would go away. Now, the democracy part of our country
6:59
is the part where we get to elect the people who will represent us.
7:05
That includes when you go and you cast your primary votes for a candidate to
7:12
be your candidate for whatever the you know, whether it's a Senate in the
7:17
House, local elections sometimes involved that, or or you know, president.
7:28
And millions of Americans have selected Joe Biden to be their candidate in November's election.
7:39
Next month, when the Democrat Convention takes place, they voted for him
7:46
to be the nominee. Now their votes have been canceled out. They don't
7:51
mean anything. They're gone. Those votes mean nothing. They have been wiped
7:59
away by the people who pressured Joe Biden to leave. Now Donald Trump is
8:07
the one that's the danger to democracy. But they have literally taken democracy out
8:11
of the hands of Democrat voters, and they will decide what's best. I
8:18
told you months ago, they wanted Joe Biden gone, They wanted to pick
8:24
someone else, they wanted to pick a younger candidate. But they knew they
8:28
were in a position where they had a president who won. He's the head
8:33
of the party. It's completely within his rights to decide that he wanted to
8:39
run again. And they didn't really want him there, but they also knew
8:46
he's probably the one that can beat Trump again. He'll be the one that
8:50
can probably do this. So we're going to push this. But if we
8:56
can get Trump out of the way, if we can figure out a way
9:01
to I don't know, bring up charges against him, Let's get him convicted.
9:05
Let's get him convicted of some felonies, and let's figure out a way
9:09
to get some of the states to keep him off of their ballots. Then
9:15
we got a shot. Nobody would vote for a felon. If we can
9:20
get him to step down and thus cancel out all the votes of Republicans,
9:28
then we can discount the votes within our own party and pick somebody younger ourselves.
9:33
And I told you back then, I felt like for a long time
9:37
they wanted Gavin Newsom. They thought that Republicans, if Trump got pushed aside,
9:43
would pick Ron de Santis. That maybe is how it would have played
9:48
out. I think if they'd gotten their wishes, and you know, that
9:50
would have been a youth, it would have been the future maybe of those
9:56
parties. I don't hide my opinions. I don't have high onions of the
10:01
way that Gavin knew some leads. I don't think he would be necessarily a
10:05
great president at all. You know, we have a lot of core differences
10:09
in our beliefs. But I told you this is what they wanted, This
10:13
was the plan, This was what they were trying to push forward. And
10:18
then that didn't happen. They can't get rid of Trump. They talked about
10:22
Trump like he needed to be put down, and then someone shot him,
10:28
and then they sort of went, that's not what we meant. I mean
10:31
all of the verbiage and terminology and things that we said about, you know,
10:35
taking him out behind the woodshed and beating him up, and you know
10:39
Madonna and Johnny Depp talking about assassinating him, and Kathy Griffin holding him up
10:45
a bloody head, and people doing plays where they acted out like he's Julius
10:50
Caesar and everybody stabs him. And you had a number of people talk about
10:54
killing him or assassinating him, or he was going to pay, and the
10:58
justices of the Supreme Court, we're going to pay tread lightly, you were
11:03
going to pay. All of this verbiage that eventually led to Trump getting shot
11:07
in the ear, and then that happened and he stood up and he showed
11:11
courage, he showed leadership, He showed the world that he was ready to
11:18
step back into the job. And then the convention happened. And on Friday
11:24
Show, I didn't talk about the convention, but Trump it was long winded,
11:31
but I think he wanted to show I can do this. Biden can't.
11:37
I can talk off of prompter for a very long time. I have
11:41
the energy and the stamina. I can do this. Overall, the convention
11:46
was great for Republicans. It was terrible for Democrats. It was so good
11:50
that Trump has already now defeated Joe Biden. He got his own party to
11:58
defeat him from within. They knocked him out because Trump forced them to knock
12:05
him out. So now we're looking at is it going to be Harris?
12:13
Is it going to be a number of other people that are going to start
12:16
jockeying and looking for a place to get there. It's turned into game of
12:20
thrones. It has turned into game of thrones. People are looking at the
12:24
Obamas, where are they going to endorse, who are they going to support?
12:30
Who are other members of Democrat leadership going to support. They're going to
12:35
run into some problems if they don't pick Harris. And we've talked about this,
12:37
the money is tied to Biden and Harris, Biden's out. If you
12:43
push Harris aside, then the money that's been raised for that campaign, it's
12:50
not there. It becomes a whole different thing with that money. It changes
12:54
the dynamic. So Harris, we've heard, not specifically from her mouth,
13:03
but we've actually heard that she's the pick of Gavin Newsom. By the way,
13:11
just going back to that name, I just I didn't mention that,
13:13
but he says he's endorsed Kamala Harris. That's who he wants. Whether he
13:18
would be the VP pick, that would be interesting. And that's the next
13:22
question, right is who's the VP pick. But anyway, back to Harris,
13:26
if they push her aside for a white man, she's not going to
13:30
be happy about that. It's not like she's going to say I'm going to
13:35
be the VP of someone else, another white man. That's not what she
13:39
wants. It'll be interesting to see who she picks. Now, let's talk
13:43
about Kamala Harris. I'm not going to spend much time this morning talking about
13:50
Kamala Harris and how she made her way through the ranks in California. In
14:00
politics, look it up. Look it up, look up relationships, look
14:07
up how she got ahead. That's it. Just look it up. You
14:13
do the you do the Rea. I'm not going to sit here and talk
14:16
too much about it. Probably it'll it'll come up. It'll come up more
14:20
in the future. There's a lot of people who say, I can't tell
14:24
people to look up to Kamala Harris as the vice president because of those things.
14:30
There's just some things that at best make things complicated for you as far
14:41
as someone being able to say, well, what an example, what we
14:45
can say about Kamala Harris is that she was part of the cover up.
14:50
Biden was not capable of being the candidate. Biden probably not capable of being
14:58
president now. I don't think he should step down now. Wouldn't be surprised
15:01
though, if they didn't try to push him down now to make way for
15:05
her, if she is going to be the pick. But because they like
15:11
to be the first, I mean, if they get Biden to step down
15:16
and let her be the first woman president, they'll say, look what we
15:18
did, We did that, and again they will have done it without the
15:22
votes. They will have done. It kind of backed into it, and
15:26
they're trying to back into this now. Democrats knew that when they were asking
15:33
their party to go and show up and vote in primaries, they knew he
15:39
wasn't the guy. They knew he wasn't capable of doing this. The people
15:43
in the White House that have been covering for him have been lying to you.
15:48
These are the same people that are lying to you now about Trump and
15:50
Project twenty twenty five. Those are lies. It's not true. That's not
15:56
Donald Trump, that's not his platform. That has nothing to do with what
16:02
Donald Trump is looking at. So I do remember, and I do who
16:08
recall. I do remember when the talk started about whether or not Biden might
16:22
have a problem, and everyone jumped in and said, no, no,
16:25
no, no, he's fine, everything's fine. We all saw it.
16:29
We all knew exactly what was starting to shape up. We knew how this
16:33
was all forming, We knew where it was all going. We didn't know
16:40
that it was going to get there at this point. But I think it's
16:44
fair to say that yesterday on National Ice Cream Day, Donald Trump tkoed Joe
16:55
Biden. He's already gotten his revenge from the last election. That's one thing.
17:02
Second thing, Kamala Harris has shown us that she's not capable of doing
17:07
this either. And if they're going to pretend that they're excited. I remember
17:11
when she got announced as the running mate for Joe Biden, and people said,
17:15
oh my gosh, I love it, what a great pick. I
17:18
love her so much. You didn't love her when you were not voting for
17:22
her in the primaries. You didn't get an opportunity in many cases because she
17:27
didn't last very long. She has said a lot of very dumb things.
17:33
She has done a lot of very dumb things. I don't think she is
17:38
someone who can beat Donald Trump. I do think that the hope is that
17:45
she can generate enough excitement that they can keep the donations coming in and that
17:52
maybe whoever they can come up with to be her running mate might be interesting
17:57
enough to cause them to, you know, keep the donations coming in,
18:03
then get some of those picks down ballot, because now, I think at
18:07
this point, if you think you can't beat Donald Trump, and if you
18:11
think Trump is going to win again, you have to start planning ahead for
18:15
twenty twenty eight. Trump's only got four years. That's it. He's only
18:22
got four years. So if you can try to look ahead and you can
18:29
try to say, maybe we can start some sort of building towards because right
18:33
now they got nobody on the horizon. You know, Newsom, maybe Buddha,
18:38
Judge, those guys are endorsing Harris. This seems to be that they
18:45
weren't all this unified about Biden three days ago, where they now everybody's all
18:48
jumping in. Are they vying for some sort of VP opportunity? Who knows?
18:56
What we do know is that Trump tkod Joe Biden on National Ice Cream
19:03
Day, And I think that's only fitting. It's only fitting that it would
19:10
happen because I'm pretty sure Joe probably finished the day eating ice creat Today's show
19:14
brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and
19:18
educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all
19:26
ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids, as school
19:30
age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
19:33
through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and
19:41
the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now and you can learn
19:45
more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're
19:55
there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible
20:00
collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called
20:04
Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere
20:11
else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus,
20:12
Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
20:17
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the
20:23
planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under
20:29
the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out
20:34
when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes
20:38
you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere
20:44
outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can
20:47
do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's
20:51

20:57
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC
21:03
dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
21:07
For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have
21:15
regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything
21:19
that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company
21:25
of Columbus can take care of square and that away for you, and while
21:27
they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic
21:32
changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
21:37
quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done to
21:40
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
21:45
it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:48
sort of installation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that
21:53
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
21:59
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
22:03
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
22:07
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
22:11
or maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to be
22:14
able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They
22:17
can do that for you as well. And again they do after hours calls.
22:21
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage
22:25
and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and
22:29
they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five hundred

a great start, a great start, eighty point five million for that Despicable
22:59
Me four, second place Inside Out to Long Legs and a Quiet Place Day
23:04
one rounding out the top five at the box office over the weekend. And
23:12
of course we got Deadpool and Wolverine coming up fast, and surely that will
23:18
be a number one next weekend. But still it's good. I know people
23:22
start thinking about, they start looking. We've talked about the way, Hallmark
23:29
is doing their you know, Christmas in July, and you can watch Christmas
23:34
movies that's still going on now. I think it's more realistic now to start
23:37
thinking a little bit about maybe Halloween first. I mean, I think about
23:44
Labor Day first, because we got dragon Con and the dragon Con pregame show
23:48
powered by Columbus State Universities co Cola Space Science that are coming up. But
23:51
then after that is you know, the second best costume party, second to
23:56
dragon Con is your Halloween party. So let's look ahead a little bit Talloween.
24:03
Skelley Home Depot's twelve foot skeleton, which sells out quickly, has hit
24:08
stores now, company saying that Skelley will still have the piercing blue life eyes
24:15
and will be priced at two ninety nine, same as last year. You
24:21
may already not have them anymore because they've hit stores I guess over the weekend.
24:26
So maybe, just maybe you were able to get your hands on a
24:29
Skelly this year, but couldn't hurt to try. You should be checking on
24:33
it if you want a Skelly. Drinking green tea has many health benefits,
24:37
but if you're just dipping a tea bag in hot water, and letting it
24:41
steep for a few minutes, you're probably not getting all of it. Scientists
24:44
figured out that heating up green tea in the microwave is the best way to
24:48
extract the most amount of the anti inflammatory compounds that help prevent certain diseases as
24:56
well as anxiety and stress. I don't think I can pronounce them though,
25:02
Catachins and the nine maybe, and they say microwaving the tea extracts more caffeine
25:11
from it to provide more of a jolt. Just be warned that if you
25:14
microwave your t it's going to amplify the taste of it, so make sure
25:17
that you really like the taste of green tea. You need to think ahead
25:22
if you're going to go with green tea as your beverage that you microwave,
25:26
but get the extra health benefit, so that's good. If you have trouble
25:30
picking photos for your dating profile, app AI coming to the Rescue Tender has
25:37
added a new feature that lets an AI helper step in and choose your profile
25:41
photo. It's called the Photo Selector, and it works by going through your
25:45
camera if you give it permission, and selecting any photos that it thinks might
25:49
be good for your dating profile. No nos for guys, they say,
25:53
don't show, don't show yourself posing with a freshly caught fish. Tender says
26:00
that the new feature selects the best photos based on different criteriateria from lighting,
26:06
composition, filtering out group shots. They say, either way, you'll get
26:11
the final say as to which images will be uploaded to your profile. I
26:14
don't know the about giving them permission to just go on through and you know,
26:18
all my pictures and decide what's best. But hey, I guess AI
26:22
may if you're really looking for somebody, maybe they can help you. So,
26:26
so when you're on vacation and I just told you we just did a
26:30
quick you know, a couple of days in Atlanta, But when you go
26:34
on a long vacation, how long does it take for you to finally relax
26:37
when you're on vacation. I know there's a lot of factors that would come
26:41
into play as far as you know, when can you actually you know,
26:44
shut off from work, who's handling work for you when you're not there?
26:48
Those sorts of things. Well, they say, according to a survey,
26:53
it takes people about four days to stop thinking about work. And this is
26:59
for a typical American. So on a seven day vacation, they are only
27:03
three days where people actually feel relaxed, so four days for you to actually
27:08
wind it down and start. So you need to take longer vacations, I
27:11
guess is something to think about. Denver International Airport is the third busiest airport
27:17
in the US, with about thirty three million passengers passing through it every year.
27:21
It's also one of the busiest lost and found offices, filled with just
27:25
about everything you could imagine. The airport says that it gets about one hundred
27:30
and fifty to two hundred forgotten items brought to it's lost and found each day,
27:33
and some of them are pretty bizarre. Most items pretty typical glasses,
27:38
jewelry, and bags, but they've also discovered things like a forklift, battery,
27:44
an urn that still contains ashes, elk meat, a circular saw,
27:48
and dogs. The airport says its workers always make an effort to return the
27:53
items to their owners, but they'll only hold onto them for thirty days.
27:59
So yeah, all right, that'll do it for this Monday edition of the
28:03
show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons, Thank you for listening. And
28:10
I mentioned I've got a weird week this week, as I am going to
28:15
be heading this morning down to Kennedy Space Center, so availability to do shows
28:22
is going to depend on a few things. But if I'm not back on
28:26
here tomorrow morning, I'll be back very soon before the week is out.
28:30
But thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here real sick. This
