How Much Longer Can Haley Last? · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:06
day. You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, twenty
0:11
third day of January. I'm west Thanks for joining me as we get all
0:17
set for New Hampshire. Right here we go, and it is, as
0:22
Nikki Haley said, a two person race. She called it. She said
0:27
what it was going to be back in the when Iowa was going on,
0:31
and what do you know, she was right. Ronda Santis is, of
0:35
course out of the race. We found that out over the weekend. I've
0:39
been saying there haven't been any major shocks or surprises I think in this entire
0:47
Republican nomination process. I don't think there has been any. Still don't think
0:53
it's a big shock. Maybe you could say it's a shock that DeSantis is
0:57
out before Haley, But I think the numbers are still telling us everything that
1:03
we thought they were going to tell us the whole time, and that's still
1:07
that Trump is just too big to overcome, and that's been the case.
1:12
We'll see what happens here in these next few primaries and how soon maybe she'll
1:21
get out. I don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. I
1:25
tell you all the time, I don't predict things. But if she would
1:26
get out, then he can start focusing on what's important, and that's beating
1:30
Joe Biden, and he can focus on I guess at that point. I
1:36
don't know that he's had to really focus on them very much. I know
1:38
the attack ads on Ronda Santis were very early in the game, before DeSantis
1:45
was even officially in. Those started, and he has spent a lot of
1:51
money attacking Ronda Santis. So now that DeSantis is out, I guess that
1:56
helps. I don't know how much he'll focus his efforts on Haley. Santas
2:00
has now endorsed Trump. He has not had kind things to say about Nikki
2:06
Haley that it was a very interesting when it was the three person raise.
2:10
We'll really for a while now. Interesting that the Dysantis and Haley camps focused
2:20
so much on each other and the goal seemed to be how do we finish
2:25
in second place, which shouldn't be the goal. They weren't spending a lot
2:29
of time focusing on Trump. I think they were very concerned about upsetting the
2:34
always Trump supporters. Okay, so mission accomplished and where does that get you?
2:39
It gets you at best second place, and for DeSantis, you know,
2:44
third place, his torch goes out. And now Haley is you know,
2:51
trying to see what she can do if she doesn't win a South Carolina,
2:54
her state. You know, she's got to be out right, doesn't
3:00
she have to leave? Doesn't that have to be the end of it?
3:02
So the questions that still remain or what's going to happen with Trump's court appearances,
3:10
what's going to happen with his indictments, what's going to happen with his
3:15
ability to defend himself, whether he's going to get a fair trial, whether
3:21
things are going to be all above board. They haven't so far. We
3:27
know the situation with the Fannie willis Fanny and her she's defended herself saying that
3:37
she's a black woman who made some mistakes, but she hasn't really I guess
3:43
has she spoken out yet about the accusations about dating the special prosecutor and that
3:51
whole sit I don't know. I don't know where all that pans out.
3:53
But like I said, we'll talk more about that in the coming weeks.
3:55
It's you know, about three weeks away the fifteenth of February is when we'll
4:00
I guess that whole process begins, or we'll learn more about that in about
4:06
three or so weeks. So DeSantis is out, Haley is still in,
4:13
and really it's no change in that momentum for Trump. Maybe you've got a
4:20
couple of states where it's a little closer than others. We know that there
4:27
may be a few states where Trump won't be on the ballots. And you
4:32
know, Haley says I want him on the ballots because I want to beat
4:35
him head up. I don't know if we're going to make it that far
4:38
with two candidates. But again, we'll see Biden not on the ballot in
4:45
New Hampshire. He's doing a right in ballot for a right end campaign to
4:50
try to win a New Hampshire. I mean, there's a whole lot of
4:56
things to be said about that situation about not I mean, and it's not
5:01
going to determine ultimately how the state is going to the electorate is going to
5:08
be The delegates will not be determined based on the votes anyway. So I
5:13
don't even know what the purpose in the right end is. All that can
5:15
happen from that is he can lose and get embarrassed. That's it. That's
5:20
all that can happen. If the right end doesn't go his way, I
5:27
don't know. I assume that it will. I mean, that's how certain
5:30
they are about some of these things. Gavin Newsom, I guess, is
5:36
still kind of lingering around waiting, licking his lips. He's like the meme
5:40
the guy in the yellow suit licking his lips and rubbing his hands together.
5:44
That's kind of what he's been for quite some time. He had a lot
5:47
of things to say about the dropout of Ron de Santis. They're not apparently
5:58
big fans of each other. All they did their debate, whatever that debate
6:02
was, I don't know now at this point, neither one of them is
6:05
a candidate, and they debated with each other. I told you that it
6:10
felt like if and again they do the suspend the campaign. I don't know
6:15
how many people ever come back. I don't know what happens if Trump can't
6:18
be the candidate, if there's some hiccup along the way, how this all
6:26
gets decided. Do they both ultimately get decided later and it doesn't have anything
6:30
to do with primaries. That was my concern you know, I've been saying
6:35
that for quite some time. I felt like, if Trump can't be the
6:40
candidate, then if DEM's were able to actually successfully use the Justice Department to
6:46
keep Trump out of it, does that mean that Dysantis would have gotten it,
6:50
and that basically Democrats would just say we're just gonna say Gavin Newsom,
6:56
We're gonna let Newsom and DeSantis go at it, and then Democrats would have
7:00
decided both candidates. There's a lot of talk again about Michelle Obama. That
7:06
name just doesn't go away, does it. And we know that they're going
7:10
to have their convention in Chicago. I know people personally that are concerned that
7:15
she's going to jump in and that's going to be the big day for it.
7:20
I don't know. I know that she has not spoken highly of their
7:26
time in the White House. There's a lot, I mean, by all
7:29
indications she's not going to do it, but all indications Gavin Newsom still says
7:32
he doesn't want it, or not that he doesn't want it, that he's
7:34
not going to be the candidate. He definitely seems like he's just waiting to
7:41
be named Miss Congeniality or something. I don't know, like he's just there
7:46
hanging around. Wasn't he on Bill Maher over the weekend? Friday night?
7:51
He was on Real Time with Bill Maher? So why why is he just
7:58
around? Why is he he just kind of lingering and waiting and seeing and
8:03
he's making fun of Dysantis for being out. At least DeSantis had the stones
8:07
to get in, like really get in. I mean, I think that
8:11
Dysantis could have done what Newsom is doing and just sat back and waited to
8:16
see what happened with Trump and how these trials go, what ends up happening
8:22
with his eligibility, if that's something that's really going to be pressed here,
8:26
because it seems pretty clear that I think Newsom thinks that if Biden can't run,
8:33
if physically he's not able to do it, if his mental acuity gets
8:39
worse, or somebody really pushes it with his cognition, now, I think
8:45
he thinks that they're just gonna call him up and say, hey, why
8:48
won't you jump in here. There's others that are in, there's others that
8:50
have their names on the ballots in New Hampshire. But I think he thinks
8:56
that he's just going to get to jump to the head of the line,
8:58
and it would be it would be wild if they just decided, especially if
9:05
it was at the last minute at the convention, to bypass Biden for Michelle
9:09
Obama or for Gavin Newsom. That whole scene would be absolutely nuts. And
9:18
we know Democrats aren't really big right now on letting voters make the decision.
9:24
Go back to twenty sixteen when it seemed like Bernie Sanders was going to be
9:31
the candidate to beat, and somehow they just kind of Democrats bypassed things to
9:35
get it to Hillary. She sort of stepped aside for Obama eight years before,
9:41
right, so I guess they were rewarding her for doing her diligence there
9:46
and doing what they asked her to do, and they just kind of pushed
9:52
Bernie aside, thankfully. I don't know if things would have been different,
9:56
maybe Bernie could have could have won. I don't know. I know people.
10:01
I know of people that are Democrat voters that voted Democrat their whole life,
10:05
but voted for Trump over Hillary because she was a woman. They just
10:11
didn't think that that was okay. They didn't think the biblical standard for leadership
10:16
was in place, and Republicans. You got folks like Joy Reid saying that
10:26
Republicans just won't vote for a brown woman and Nicki Haley. They're not going
10:28
to vote for Nicki Haley because they didn't vote for DeSantis, and they didn't
10:33
vote for Tim Scott, and they didn't vote for Chris Christie, and they
10:35
didn't vote for a number of people because it's Trump. The reasons at last
10:41
time that ultimately Ted Cruz wasn't the nominee or Marco Rubio. There were a
10:46
lot of people last time that could have been the candidate. But that's the
10:50
reason that people aren't voting for Nicki Haley. It's not about being a brown
10:54
woman. It's about the fact that she's not Donald Trump. That's why they
10:58
didn't vote for de Santis. That's the reason. But you know, there's
11:05
folks that vote Democrat that didn't vote for Hillary because it was a woman.
11:09
Those people still exist, they're still there. There's a contingency of folks on
11:13
both sides that will not vote for a woman to be president of the United
11:18
States. They're there. You can say, I can't believe they do.
11:22
Those people exist, They're still out there. It was more prominent years ago,
11:26
decades ago, but they still exist. They're still there, and they're
11:31
not going to vote for Nikki Haley if she's the nominee. They didn't vote
11:35
for Hillary Clinton. I don't know if they would have voted for Bernie Sanders,
11:41
but anyway, but we know Democrats aren't really big on letting the voters
11:43
decide. They don't want the voters to on the Republican side. They want
11:46
to take away Republicans right to vote for Donald Trump. They want to get
11:50
him out of the race and then they can decide who their candidate should be
11:56
to give them the best chance of beating whoever Republicans will put forward. That's
11:58
been the goal, that's been the objective, and it hasn't worked. They've
12:03
made Trump stronger and stronger and stronger every time. Every time they push the
12:09
big snowball down the hill, it just becomes a bigger snowball, and they've
12:13
created this avalanche that's Trump and that's what we're looking at. So it hasn't
12:18
been a surprise. Is it a shock that Ron DeSantis is out? Like
12:22
I said, maybe it's surprising that he's out before Haley. I don't know,
12:24
shouldn't really have been he's too much like Trump. Trump's evens Now said
12:30
that all the bickering and fighting and accusations, and he's like, yeh,
12:33
we got a lot of similar policies. Trump also got asked in an interview
12:37
over the weekend about whether or not he would pick DeSantis to be his running
12:41
mate or putting on his cabinet. He said he didn't think that was likely,
12:45
doesn't seem likely, really doesn't. Could he pick Haley? I wouldn't
12:48
think so. I think he's got somebody in mind, and I don't think
12:52
it's Haley or DeSantis. There's been talk for a while that, you know,
12:56
Haley is really trying to just boost her speaking engagements. There's been that
13:03
talk whether or not she's really trying to actually win this nomination or not.
13:09
A lot of people thought try. I was one of those people. I
13:11
didn't think Trump really wanted the presidency last time in twenty sixteen. I didn't
13:15
know. I didn't know that he was serious. When he got the nomination.
13:20
I thought, this guy doesn't even want to win, and then he
13:22
did, and then he wanted to win again. He still wants to win
13:26
again. So we'll have to see how all this plays out. But we
13:30
know Democrats don't necessarily want voters to make the decision. They want to push
13:35
a Republican candidate out of the race. And ultimately, right now they're just
13:41
handing it to Biden. They're not the delegates aren't going to be decided in
13:46
New Hampshire by the vote. That's not going to happen. So they forget
13:50
all about that. Could they possibly just swoop in in Chicago and say our
13:56
candidate will be and then just annoy someone, just give it to them here
14:01
they are, here's our candidate, Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or whoever,
14:07
I don't know, whoever they just want to come up with and just hand
14:09
it to them. Oprah. That'd be a big Chicago surprise, wouldn't it,
14:15
Oprah Winfrey in Chicago. So yes, so far, no major surprise
14:22
developments at all. I don't think. I mean, maybe it is to
14:28
you, Maybe it is to some. I haven't seen anything. But as
14:31
we are now in a two person race with Trump and Haley, and Trump
14:35
of course having this huge lead overall, could Nicky Haley beat Joe Biden?
14:41
That's another question. Could Nicki Haley beat Gavin Newsom? I think that question
14:48
needs to be asked. Could NICKI Haley beat Michelle Obama? That's another really
14:54
big question that we need to start asking because are these possibilities I think they
14:58
are. Are they likely? I don't know. They would be big surprises,
15:03
They would be big shocks, But I don't know that It's not something
15:07
they need to at least ask the question right. Today's show brought to you
15:11
by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth
15:18
and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
15:24
mean, they do it for school age kids, as school age kids visit
15:28
the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university
15:33
programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in
15:39
space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn more about
15:45
maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
15:52
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that
15:58
they do with the show swob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music

under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
16:07
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
16:11
you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
16:14
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus. Inside the
16:22
planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under
16:26

16:41
outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can
16:44
do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events Also on their website, it's
16:48
CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org,
16:55
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CSSC dot
17:02
org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For
17:06
all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
17:12
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
17:17
has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
17:22
Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
17:26
you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
17:30
like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
17:34
you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside
17:37
door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
17:42
a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
17:47
installation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets
17:52
in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
17:56
add a screen door to your garage door system you can put down and you
18:00
can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
18:06
if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
18:07
you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
18:11
door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for
18:15
you as well, and again they do after hours calls there's nothing worse than
18:18
that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't
18:23
open and you need somebody to come help. And they do those as well.

18:37
the break, all right, well, if you go into burger King,
18:49
heads up, they might tell you when they engage with you, when they
18:55
greet you, they might say you rule. Of course, that's one of
18:59
their slogans, and they got their whole have it your way and all that.
19:03
But the ads they say you rule, well they're saying now, according
19:10
to a memo that came from the folks in charge, cashiers and greeterers have
19:15
to tell every customer you rule. And they're now providing adult sized versions of
19:22
those kids crowns that you know, the paper crowns that they have at Burger
19:29
King. They're doing adult versions of it. The CEO of Carol's Restaurant Group
19:34
no relation, not even spelled the same, Deborah Derby, says that it's
19:38
meant to be a fun way to engage customers. She says say. It's
19:41
a guy who's like thirty eight years old, no kids in the car,
19:45
and I got to say to him, do you want a crown? You
19:48
can't help but smile when you say that, and he can't help but laugh
19:52
back. It forces that extra few seconds of engagement. The top brass will
19:56
be sending out secret shoppers to guarantee that crowns are handed down, so you
20:03
know, get ready for some you rules you go into Burger King or go
20:08
through the drive through. I don't know. I always like to get the
20:11
crown and I flipped it upside down when I wore it as a kid.
20:17
And then you take the little piece that comes down and it actually fits right
20:19
around your nose and it kind of gives you this I don't know, it
20:23
makes you like a warrior or something. What if you could do I guess
20:27
you could do that with the adult crowns. I need to go to Burger
20:30
King today. All right, let's swisch shift over to Valentine's Day. As
20:37
a company called Grillo's Pickles wants to They're offering up a suggestion for something.
20:45
And this might be nice if that special someone in your life happens to be
20:49
a giant pickle fan, well not a giant pickle fan, but a pickle
20:53
fan somebody who really loves pickles. They don't have to be a fan of
20:59
Extra law pickles. It's the DIY Pickle Bouquet Kit and you can make your
21:06
own and they'll be available beginning February. First, here's what you get with
21:12
the DIY Pickle Bouquet Kit. You get a cupon for a free jar of
21:18
Grillos pickles. I don't think I've ever had Grillos pickles. You get wooden
21:22
skewers. You get a phone based floral filler tissue paper, the recipient card
21:26
and card holder, and a custom pickle vase that you put your pickle bouquet
21:33
in. So if there's a pickle lover in your life, you know you
21:37
should look into It's at grillopickles dot com where you can secure the very special
21:48
and it would be special if you're a pickle lover, you know to get
21:52
this. You would receive this. Who wouldn't be excited about it? Speaking
21:56
of Valentine's Day, the San Antonio Zoo following the Bronx Zoo's lead in offering
22:02
you know where this is going? The roach thing right, unique gifts for
22:06
Valentine's Day. The Bronx Zoo does the Name a Roach event and they get
22:08
to name a cockroach after an ex lover. The San Antonio Zoo is offering
22:14
something a little similar. It's a Crime a Cockroach program, letting people name
22:17
the roach, rat, or vegetable for their ex lover and then have it
22:21
fed to another animal at the zoo. But they're offering something else as well.
22:26
They're not just copying the deal, they're actually adding something else. They're
22:30
selling a candle that smells like hippopotamus dung. They say it's the cologne of
22:37
the hippo world and it's used to impress potential mates. So this is a
22:44
shift. I thought that it was going to be like they're selling a candle
22:47
that smells like that, and you give it to your ex so that they
22:49
and maybe it looks like it's a nice smelling candle, and then it smells
22:52
like hippo poop. No, no, no, this is just you know,
22:56
supposed to be a nice candle to have. I don't really understand.
23:00
I get the name and the roach, but good for them coming up with
23:03
creative fundraisers for you know, for the zoo for Valentine's Day. That's good,
23:11
all right. Instagram is coming up with something that they say will help
23:15
prevent teens from using the app at late night hours after ten pm. The
23:21
app doubling down on its effort to cut down on screen times by teens.
23:25
They nudge them to put their phones down. It's a prompt that it will
23:30
be triggered after detecting use of something like direct messages or reels for longer than
23:37
ten minutes late at night. An early version of the screen reads a time
23:41
for a break question mark it's getting late. Consider closing Instagram for the night.
23:47
Meta said that it's introducing the new feature because sleep is important, particularly
23:52
for young people. So there you go. And finally, if you sit
23:56
all day at work, there's some bad news. A new study finding people
24:00
who sit for most of the work they have a thirty five percent increased risk
24:03
of dying from cardiovascular disease and a sixteen percent higher risk of death from all
24:08
causes compared to more active workers. The good news, though, as researchers
24:14
say, you can reverse the risk by exercising for fifteen to thirty minutes every
24:19
day. That'll do it for this Tuesday edition of the show. Thanks to
24:23
our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here
24:27
