Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, tenth day of April. I'm Wes, thanks for
0:15
Speaker 2: joining me. Time to finally get some answers, I guess
0:22
Speaker 2: to some questions that got asked back at the inauguration,
0:27
Speaker 2: at Jimmy Carter's funeral, some of the questions that people
0:32
Speaker 2: wanted to know, they had a curiosity about them, and
0:38
Speaker 2: we've now gotten some answers sort of. I mean, I
0:41
Speaker 2: don't know, we're going to talk about it. You probably
0:43
Speaker 2: didn't listen to this particular podcast, the Sophie Bush Podcast.
0:53
Speaker 2: I think that's an actress, right, isn't that who that is?
0:57
Speaker 2: Sophie Bush. Her ex husband was in Collembus for a
1:00
Speaker 2: while working on a movie. I think he was in
1:03
Speaker 2: that movie. That was it the last movie? I think
1:08
Speaker 2: she I think that I think that's the movie. I
1:14
Speaker 2: don't know if it was his final movie or not.
1:18
Speaker 2: But her ex husband was in town in Columbus and
1:23
Speaker 2: was working on that Bruce Willis movie. And I can't
1:25
Speaker 2: think that's something to night, something about the night anyway,
1:31
Speaker 2: And that's really the only reason I even know her name.
1:33
Speaker 2: I know that she's an actress, I know that she
1:35
Speaker 2: is far more popular with social media followers than I am.
1:40
Speaker 2: I'm not dismissing her. I just this isn't someone that
1:44
Speaker 2: I or probably most of the people who would listen
1:46
Speaker 2: to me ramble on and on about things, know who
1:50
Speaker 2: she is, nor listen to her work in progress podcast.
1:53
Speaker 2: But anyway, she had Michelle Obama on her show and
2:00
Speaker 2: got to the bottom of some issues, and I guess
2:04
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't listen. I just saw some of
2:06
Speaker 2: the excerpts from the conversation, and I think, what's really
2:12
Speaker 2: interesting to me, Well, there's a lot of interesting stuff here,
2:18
Speaker 2: but what she was complaining about on the show was
2:21
Speaker 2: the fact that she should, as a woman, be able
2:25
Speaker 2: to do whatever she wants to do without people questioning
2:30
Speaker 2: the reasons for it. And I just think that part,
2:34
Speaker 2: and I'm going to get into all the specifics, but
2:36
Speaker 2: the part that's interesting about that to me is that
2:39
Speaker 2: apparently it would seem at least maybe Sophie Bush asked
2:44
Speaker 2: her about this, which I think is there's a little
2:47
Speaker 2: bit of like people shouldn't shouldn't be asking me these questions,
2:51
Speaker 2: but let me answer it for you, and then you
2:54
Speaker 2: know she's got She goes on this podcast for someone
2:57
Speaker 2: to ask her the question so she can answer it.
2:59
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. I don't know about all that.
3:02
Speaker 2: I just know that the former first Lady, who by
3:08
Speaker 2: most accounts is still beloved, is what we're told she's
3:14
Speaker 2: She's so beloved by the left that they would vote
3:20
Speaker 2: for her in a heartbeat. At any point they could
3:23
Speaker 2: just push a candidate out of the race for the Democrat,
3:28
Speaker 2: either during a primary or no primary, whatever they could,
3:33
Speaker 2: they would just take her and just drop her into
3:36
Speaker 2: a campaign and she could save the day. There were
3:39
Speaker 2: speculations that that was going to happen, even for me.
3:43
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how serious I thought it
3:46
Speaker 2: might happen. But I did say, as you may recall,
3:51
Speaker 2: when they announced that they were going to do the DNC,
3:56
Speaker 2: they were going to have the convention in Chicago, I said,
4:00
Speaker 2: oh wonder what that could be leading up to it
4:03
Speaker 2: was a weird place to do their convention because that's
4:07
Speaker 2: a solid blue state. There's no way they're going to
4:10
Speaker 2: lose Illinois, and of course that Chicago is one of
4:13
Speaker 2: their big cities. Anything can happen in Chicago, and nobody
4:18
Speaker 2: seems to care. For some reason. It doesn't matter like
4:22
Speaker 2: how many people get killed on the weekends. It's a
4:25
Speaker 2: lot of it specifically, and it's weird that it's, you know,
4:29
Speaker 2: young black people killed every day every weekend and there's
4:34
Speaker 2: very little talk about it. And if that kind of
4:37
Speaker 2: thing was happening in a red state, or that was
4:40
Speaker 2: having in a very red city, I think we'd be
4:42
Speaker 2: hearing a lot about it, right And the fact that
4:44
Speaker 2: it's just kind of that's just what happens in Chicago.
4:47
Speaker 2: There's no conversation about it. But that's strongly a blue
4:51
Speaker 2: I know, I'm all over the place today, Sorry, but
4:55
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama's you know, the Obamas are all about Chicago.
4:58
Speaker 2: I thought, oh my gosh, Michelle Obama's going to jump in.
5:01
Speaker 2: I mentioned it as a possibility. I've got some friends
5:04
Speaker 2: that said it's worth thinking about. And I heard some
5:06
Speaker 2: people make those predictions. They were going to push Biden
5:09
Speaker 2: out of the race and they were going to let
5:10
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama jump in and save the day. That's how
5:14
Speaker 2: much people love her, That's what we were told. Everybody
5:18
Speaker 2: just loves her. She's so incredible. And what an amazing
5:23
Speaker 2: president of the United States she would be. And it's
5:28
Speaker 2: and it's it is strange. It is strange. And I've
5:32
Speaker 2: pointed this out before that we have we have two
5:34
Speaker 2: major parties, and only one of the parties just decides
5:39
Speaker 2: that this was a first lady, she should be president.
5:44
Speaker 2: Right doesn't do that. The right doesn't go you know,
5:47
Speaker 2: Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, you know, Nancy Reagan, she should
5:52
Speaker 2: be president. Like we It's not something that we do
5:56
Speaker 2: in this country. On the right, we just sort of
5:58
Speaker 2: let first ladies be first lady. And there's nothing wrong
6:01
Speaker 2: with that. It is an important position, it's an important
6:06
Speaker 2: role in the way that the country works. They have
6:10
Speaker 2: a role, and I understand that some first ladies have
6:14
Speaker 2: gotten involved with the day to day runnings of things.
6:17
Speaker 2: God knows, we just had that for four years. By
6:20
Speaker 2: the end of all of it, we had a first
6:22
Speaker 2: lady who was actually effectively most likely running the country,
6:26
Speaker 2: at least running cabinet meetings according to reports. So there's
6:30
Speaker 2: certainly nothing wrong. We know Hillary Clinton was involved. She
6:33
Speaker 2: told everybody that we are the president. That was how
6:37
Speaker 2: ingrained she was into everything that was happening. But we
6:40
Speaker 2: didn't hear that Michelle Obama was helping run the country.
6:43
Speaker 2: She gave speeches, she showed up at events because she
6:46
Speaker 2: was the first lady. And that's what the first lady does.
6:48
Speaker 2: The first lady shows up at events. Sometimes there are
6:52
Speaker 2: things that keep you from being there. It might be
6:54
Speaker 2: an illness, it might be a priority, is something else
6:59
Speaker 2: that you have to ten. But rarely are there events
7:04
Speaker 2: or first ladies where you just don't go because I'm
7:06
Speaker 2: a woman and I don't have to go. But that's
7:10
Speaker 2: the excuse that she gave for not attending Jimmy Carter's funeral.
7:14
Speaker 2: See I understand if well, sort of, I understand the
7:20
Speaker 2: applause from the left when they say that Michelle Obama
7:24
Speaker 2: didn't go to the President Trump's inauguration, and they said, yes,
7:30
Speaker 2: she should not have done that. Good for her. I
7:34
Speaker 2: get that, I do. I mean, I think it's petty
7:38
Speaker 2: and I think it's not in the spirit of you know,
7:41
Speaker 2: we have elections and these are the results, and this
7:44
Speaker 2: is what the American people chose. But I get it.
7:47
Speaker 2: You're not always going to like the person that wins.
7:50
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we do now. Someone wins and
7:53
Speaker 2: we just you know, spit their name when we speak
7:55
Speaker 2: and venom, and if it's a Republican, you know, you
7:59
Speaker 2: try to kill assassinate them. We've got a bloodthirsty group
8:02
Speaker 2: on the left that wants to, you know, kill people
8:05
Speaker 2: that don't agree with them, starting with the president. So
8:09
Speaker 2: I get maybe not going to the inauguration. I get that,
8:14
Speaker 2: not going to Jimmy Carter's funeral, that's a strange one.
8:17
Speaker 2: That's a strange thing to not attend for the purposes
8:21
Speaker 2: of I'm a woman. I don't have to go to that.
8:25
Speaker 2: I can do whatever I want. Now. She's not wrong technically,
8:31
Speaker 2: but you did serve as first lady. And there are
8:35
Speaker 2: some people who still think that you're going to one
8:37
Speaker 2: day run for president and that you should, and even
8:40
Speaker 2: though you've said repeatedly you don't want to do that,
8:44
Speaker 2: I think this is an indicator that you really don't
8:46
Speaker 2: want to do that. The people who think that someday
8:48
Speaker 2: she's going to be like, you know what, I don't
8:51
Speaker 2: think the Obamas can be anything of the next generation
8:54
Speaker 2: unless one of their kids, who you know, maybe I
8:58
Speaker 2: don't know, because we like to do that, we like
9:00
Speaker 2: to dip back into the into the pool. I know,
9:03
Speaker 2: There's been talk about Trump's son, Don Junior. I know
9:06
Speaker 2: that's come up, but I don't know how seriously anybody's
9:09
Speaker 2: talked about that, like in the future. But the point is,
9:14
Speaker 2: you've you're with the first lady, and this was a
9:19
Speaker 2: very senior former president of the United States that represented
9:25
Speaker 2: your party and who was far more beloved for his
9:29
Speaker 2: statesmanship post presidency. And it's that's a strange one to
9:34
Speaker 2: miss as a first lady. That was strange because typically
9:39
Speaker 2: you you do attend. I mean not you, just anybody
9:44
Speaker 2: that has the opportunity to attend that goes And no,
9:48
Speaker 2: you don't have to, and you're right, you're a woman.
9:51
Speaker 2: You can do whatever you want to do. It's it
9:54
Speaker 2: is strange to not see you at that. It's not
9:57
Speaker 2: so strange to not see you at the Trump and iuration.
10:00
Speaker 2: But anyway, she says of people questioning why she didn't
10:06
Speaker 2: go and whether or not that was an indicator that
10:09
Speaker 2: she and baraqu were in trouble, the marriage was in trouble.
10:11
Speaker 2: There were those rumors that started floating around, and she said,
10:15
Speaker 2: but the interesting thing is that when I say no,
10:17
Speaker 2: for the most part, people are like, I get it,
10:20
Speaker 2: and I'm okay, right. Uh. And that's the thing that
10:25
Speaker 2: we as women, I think we struggle with, like disappointing people.
10:30
Speaker 2: I mean so much so that this year people were
10:33
Speaker 2: they couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice
10:36
Speaker 2: for myself. That they had to assume that my husband
10:39
Speaker 2: and I are divorcing. You know, this couldn't be a
10:42
Speaker 2: grown woman just making a set of decisions herself, right,
10:46
Speaker 2: But that's what society does to us. And she said
10:52
Speaker 2: if it doesn't fit into the sort of stereotype of
10:54
Speaker 2: what people think we should do, then it gets labeled
10:57
Speaker 2: as something negative and horrible. And she talked about why
11:01
Speaker 2: she does things about what's best for her and not
11:08
Speaker 2: operating from guilt as a woman. She says, now is
11:11
Speaker 2: the time for me to start asking myself these hard
11:13
Speaker 2: questions of who do I truly want to be? Every day?
11:17
Speaker 2: And that changes so who do I want to have
11:20
Speaker 2: lunch with? How long do I want to stay in
11:22
Speaker 2: a place? Do I want to travel? If a girlfriend
11:24
Speaker 2: calls and says let's go here, I can say yes
11:27
Speaker 2: I can. And I'm trying to do that more and
11:30
Speaker 2: more so for the purposes of mental health. I think
11:34
Speaker 2: that this is this is a great attitude. But we're
11:39
Speaker 2: not talking about, Hey, I'm gonna miss Barock's playing golf
11:43
Speaker 2: and asked if I could go with him, and I
11:45
Speaker 2: decided I wanted to go spend time with my girlfriends.
11:48
Speaker 2: This isn't even even the case of like a funeral
11:54
Speaker 2: for somebody that you didn't like. This is someone that
11:56
Speaker 2: your party was grieving the loss of this very senior
12:04
Speaker 2: statesman in Jimmy Carter, and you didn't go. That's weird. Sure,
12:10
Speaker 2: you're right, you can do whatever you want to do,
12:13
Speaker 2: and I'm not giving you permission. I'm just stating the obvious.
12:16
Speaker 2: You're correct, you can do whatever you want to do.
12:20
Speaker 2: Was it the right thing to do?
12:21
Speaker 1: Though?
12:22
Speaker 2: Was it the right thing to do to miss Jimmy
12:24
Speaker 2: Carter's funeral and not expect people to go? Why is
12:30
Speaker 2: she there by himself? Where is she especially after you
12:34
Speaker 2: had people that were really and unfairly I think because
12:36
Speaker 2: you've never indicated that you want to be president. But
12:40
Speaker 2: people say, ah, she's going to be the one to
12:42
Speaker 2: jump in there. People love her, they absolutely love her.
12:45
Speaker 2: She's great. They just want her to be president so bad. Everybody,
12:49
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, if she would just run nobody could
12:52
Speaker 2: beat her. It doesn't matter. Nobody could possibly beat her
12:57
Speaker 2: if she ran for president. So yeah, you're correct. I
13:03
Speaker 2: don't think anybody can argue with you on the fact
13:05
Speaker 2: that you're a woman and you're allowed to make your
13:06
Speaker 2: own decisions. That's not who we are as a people
13:09
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. But it is strange when a
13:15
Speaker 2: former first Lady and the Democrat Party doesn't show up
13:19
Speaker 2: for the funeral of a former Democrat president, a beloved
13:23
Speaker 2: former Democrat president, and then lets her husband go by himself,
13:29
Speaker 2: And it's strange. It is let's just call it what
13:33
Speaker 2: it is. It's a strange decision that was made. And
13:39
Speaker 2: there's that. Now this all of course, this interview and
13:42
Speaker 2: the timing of all of this, this more information is
13:44
Speaker 2: coming out a couple of books that have come out
13:47
Speaker 2: that have talked about the White House where things were
13:50
Speaker 2: during the election when the Biden campaign fell apart, and
13:57
Speaker 2: the behind the scenes involvement of Barack Obama trying to
14:01
Speaker 2: decide who who the candidate was going to be and
14:04
Speaker 2: trying to insert his influence into it, and a lot
14:08
Speaker 2: of people saying he's done, They're done, like there's nothing
14:12
Speaker 2: more for them. To do for that party. They can't
14:14
Speaker 2: really help it anymore. They had their time and and
14:20
Speaker 2: people have moved on from them, and people aren't seeing
14:24
Speaker 2: them with this kind of praise and royalty that maybe
14:31
Speaker 2: they once did. And I've said, you know, it's hard
14:35
Speaker 2: to predict what would happen in an election if somebody
14:37
Speaker 2: like Michelle Obama jumped in. You just really don't know.
14:40
Speaker 2: It's hard to know. I wouldn't have I would have
14:43
Speaker 2: never guessed that Trump would have won the first time.
14:47
Speaker 2: Certainly wouldn't have thought he could lose and then come
14:49
Speaker 2: back and win again, not when he lost. Now, when
14:54
Speaker 2: it came to this election and the way things went down,
14:57
Speaker 2: I certainly believed not only that he could win, but
15:01
Speaker 2: that he was going to win. And I don't know
15:05
Speaker 2: that Michelle Obama could have beaten him. I don't know.
15:08
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone could have. Maybe if they
15:11
Speaker 2: had any sort of bench and just pulling Oprah Winfrey
15:16
Speaker 2: or the Rock or now they want to go Stephen A.
15:19
Speaker 2: Smith apparently he thinks he's going to run and he
15:21
Speaker 2: might be president. And I don't know that there's really
15:26
Speaker 2: any answers out there at all right now. But I
15:30
Speaker 2: do think it's weird that Michelle Obama was upset that
15:34
Speaker 2: people were asking about why she didn't go to the
15:37
Speaker 2: funeral and go to the inauguration, and then went on
15:41
Speaker 2: a podcast so that someone could ask her why she
15:45
Speaker 2: didn't and that she could explain it. I mean, I
15:46
Speaker 2: think it's good that she explained it. I do think
15:49
Speaker 2: there's a certain amount of like, as a people, we
15:52
Speaker 2: kind of go, why why didn't she go? Now, if
15:55
Speaker 2: a former president doesn't go, you certainly go. It's and
16:00
Speaker 2: if it's somebody who wants to be president, and that
16:03
Speaker 2: they did want to be president, it'd be weird that
16:05
Speaker 2: they didn't go. I mean Hillary still went. Hillary went
16:10
Speaker 2: as as not only as a former candidate, but as
16:15
Speaker 2: a former First Lady or as a former co president
16:18
Speaker 2: because I know that's what she called it for a while.
16:20
Speaker 2: So so good for Michelle that she's finding her I'm
16:24
Speaker 2: all about mental health, I am. I'm proud of her
16:27
Speaker 2: for that. I just think it's a strange choice not
16:30
Speaker 2: to go to Jimmy Carter's funeral. Today's show brought to

18:58
Speaker 2: you need some repair work done to the out side door.
19:00
Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
19:04
Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:07
Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got.
19:10
Speaker 2: With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in

Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
19:17
Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:20
Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
19:22
Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
19:27
Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
19:28
Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
19:31
Speaker 2: man cavid you'd like to be able to open the
19:33
Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
19:36
Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
19:38
Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
19:41
Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
19:44
Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help,
19:47
Speaker 2: And they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty

Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, well do you
20:08
Speaker 2: have a wandering mind? Turns out if you do, it's
20:12
Speaker 2: a good thing. Researchers discovering that if your mind wanders,
20:16
Speaker 2: you're actually better at picking up hidden patterns and subtle details.
20:21
Speaker 2: It's like your brain goes into a mini offline mode,
20:26
Speaker 2: similar to sleep, helping you learn without even trying. So
20:30
Speaker 2: next time you catch yourself drifting off during a boring
20:33
Speaker 2: meeting or class, embrace, it turns out your brain is
20:36
Speaker 2: still hard at work. So it's not that your brain
20:39
Speaker 2: is malfunctioning. It's just your brain is braining at a
20:43
Speaker 2: different level. I mean, that's what happens. Sometimes you're just
20:49
Speaker 2: you know, you're just working at a different speed. Man.
20:52
Speaker 2: That's all. That's all it is. Many traditionally male dominated
20:57
Speaker 2: industries are starting to swing in the opposite direction. Now
21:01
Speaker 2: women appear to be breaking the glass ceiling in the
21:04
Speaker 2: funeral business, more and more women pursuing careers as funeral directors.
21:10
Speaker 2: As of twenty twenty two, seventy seven percent of students
21:12
Speaker 2: graduating with a mortuary science degree where women. Many women
21:17
Speaker 2: working as funeral directors say families are comforted more by
21:20
Speaker 2: women because they're more compassionate and have traditionally been better caregivers.
21:26
Speaker 2: But just like any other industry that's attracting more women,
21:29
Speaker 2: female funeral directors have to put up with some discrimination
21:33
Speaker 2: from people who doubt their ability to do the job.
21:38
Speaker 2: I'd like to see, you know, corners that are women.
21:41
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that. That's what I'd like the
21:44
Speaker 2: funeral director thing that shouldn't be a problem, or people
21:46
Speaker 2: really discriminating. I mean, I guess people discriminate on many
21:50
Speaker 2: levels for different things. That shouldn't be a surprise. But
21:54
Speaker 2: I'd like to see, you know, some women running for corner.
21:57
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that happening. That's what i'd like,
22:00
Speaker 2: you know, I just would like to see that personally,
22:04
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. All right, how about this.
22:07
Speaker 2: There's a restaurant in Thailand, got some people upset, as
22:12
Speaker 2: people tend to get upset sometimes, and it's because the
22:18
Speaker 2: restaurant is offering a skinny discount. Varying levels of skinny discounts.
22:25
Speaker 2: They offer discounts up to twenty percent of customers have
22:27
Speaker 2: the right body size. Instead of a scale, though, they
22:31
Speaker 2: have bars set up at different widths and almost like
22:36
Speaker 2: a jail cell is the bars are different lengths apart,
22:40
Speaker 2: like a fence maybe, and if you can get your
22:43
Speaker 2: body through the bars, you get the corresponding discount. Some
22:49
Speaker 2: people find it funny. Some people find it to be
22:52
Speaker 2: fat shaming and discriminatory. I guess if you think I
22:56
Speaker 2: can't get through there, then I'm not even gonna try.
23:02
Speaker 2: There's more to it, though, than just your weight. I
23:08
Speaker 2: would think, and I'm looking right now at a photo
23:11
Speaker 2: of the bar system, I would think that there are
23:15
Speaker 2: some people women who are you know, slim, but may
23:22
Speaker 2: still not be able to fit through there. If you
23:24
Speaker 2: catch my drip, I think it's more than just weight.
23:27
Speaker 2: I think there's more at play here than just wait
23:32
Speaker 2: if you're following me. I assume you're following me, and
23:35
Speaker 2: I think that you know, there's no way something like
23:38
Speaker 2: this could happen in the US. This is definitely something
23:41
Speaker 2: that would have to happen somewhere like Thailand. That's all.
23:45
Speaker 2: Japan has started using three D printing technology to create
23:49
Speaker 2: full sized train stations. Amazingly, The West Japan Railway Group
23:54
Speaker 2: recently put together a new station in just two and
23:56
Speaker 2: a half hours to replace an aged wooden structure. The
24:01
Speaker 2: new efficient method will allow the company to take care
24:04
Speaker 2: of stations in relatively rural stations and serve many people
24:10
Speaker 2: who live outside city centers, they're able to get them
24:12
Speaker 2: three D printed up and in place, and it's a
24:16
Speaker 2: matter of time. It's a matter of time before we
24:19
Speaker 2: were building all cities this way. It's a matter of
24:22
Speaker 2: time before these three D printers get into AI and
24:26
Speaker 2: they start self replicating and printing out themselves. And really, basically,
24:37
Speaker 2: you know, this self replicating machine, that's the problem. The
24:42
Speaker 2: self replicating machine is the one that's going to be
24:47
Speaker 2: a danger to us because they'll be the ones that
24:49
Speaker 2: want to fight, and if they can just keep cranking
24:51
Speaker 2: out more of them, then we're certainly all in huge trouble,
24:56
Speaker 2: aren't we. Cedar Rapids Public Library and Linedge Brewing Company,
25:01
Speaker 2: also based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, partnering to release a
25:04

25:26
Speaker 2: It's interesting. When I saw the story, it said they
25:28
Speaker 2: were selling a beer to celebrate the library. I just
25:32
