Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Thursday morning, ninth day of October. I'm West Thanks for
- 0:14Speaker 2: joining me. I did yesterday's show and did not catch
- 0:20Speaker 2: the fact that yesterday was actually National Stomp Bullying Day.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Thanks to the person who sent me that pointed that out.
- 0:31Speaker 2: That is the topic for yesterday's show was AOC telling
- 0:38Speaker 2: her constituents and Democrats in general to bully Republicans, maga
- 0:43Speaker 2: Republicans and shame them and call them names and you know,
- 0:48Speaker 2: bully them effectively. That's not the word she used, but
- 0:51Speaker 2: that's basically what it was. To bully people and let
- 0:57Speaker 2: them know that they're in the wrong, that they're of
- 1:00Speaker 2: Donald Trump was wrong, and that they should you know,
- 1:07Speaker 2: bully away. Again, not the word that she used, but
- 1:13Speaker 2: definitely what she was going for as the pressure of them.
- 1:19Speaker 2: And we have this thing that we do now as
- 1:22Speaker 2: a country where it's become terrorism. And when I say
- 1:25Speaker 2: we primarily on the left, it's this idea of using
- 1:29Speaker 2: terror and fear tactics to get their way, even if
- 1:33Speaker 2: that means getting in their faces in the gasoline stations
- 1:36Speaker 2: and all those things Maxine Waters and others said. And
- 1:40Speaker 2: we've had actors talk about assassinating presidents and all that,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Johnny Depp and all. So that's the idea. And we
- 1:47Speaker 2: saw this play out on the most horrific of stages
- 1:51Speaker 2: as Charlie Kirk was assassinated not long ago, just weeks ago.
- 1:57Speaker 2: And we are still trying to figure out why the
- 2:01Speaker 2: rhetoric hasn't been dialed back. And if you'd like to
- 2:04Speaker 2: know how long some of this has been going on,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and when we reference it, we say, it's been, you know,
- 2:09Speaker 2: really cranking up over the past ten years. We just
- 2:13Speaker 2: had a court sentencing where we we learned that one
- 2:22Speaker 2: of the prime examples of this terrorism in a political sense,
- 2:31Speaker 2: we've seen an injustice take place with one particular like
- 2:37Speaker 2: high profile case and I want to dive into that
- 2:42Speaker 2: this morning. So go back to twenty twenty two when
- 2:49Speaker 2: this is the I guess it was May, and that
- 2:52Speaker 2: is when someone decided to leak a draft opinion on
- 3:00Speaker 2: the Dobbs versus Jackson's Women's Health Organization, which was basically
- 3:05Speaker 2: effectively the court case that was going to end up
- 3:09Speaker 2: overturning Roe v. Wade and this leaked whoever, and they
- 3:14Speaker 2: never found who did it, someone who clearly had a
- 3:20Speaker 2: motivation behind it, someone who clearly thought that by leaking
- 3:23Speaker 2: it they were going to have an impact on things.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know. I still don't understand how
- 3:29Speaker 2: they don't haven't figured out who. Why don't we have
- 3:32Speaker 2: things in place for some of these leaks and some
- 3:34Speaker 2: of these unnamed sources. I think there should be inside
- 3:39Speaker 2: the government, there should be ways to track some of
- 3:41Speaker 2: this stuff. But anyway, that's not really the topic. The
- 3:44Speaker 2: person who did this, I think it's awful what they
- 3:46Speaker 2: did because they were trying to have an impact on
- 3:50Speaker 2: the case. And what happened then this, of course did
- 3:55Speaker 2: end up becoming the case. This draft of opinion led
- 4:00Speaker 2: to what was eventually the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So what happened is this is where we got to
- 4:10Speaker 2: a stage where people started protesting. They started again, we
- 4:14Speaker 2: got to heated protests in places, and we started to
- 4:19Speaker 2: get to this stage where there were calls to really
- 4:22Speaker 2: pressure the Supreme Court justices. And that's when this kid
- 4:29Speaker 2: in California, Nicholas Rosky, I guess is his name? I
- 4:32Speaker 2: don't like saying these people's names anyway, So I make
- 4:35Speaker 2: it a habit to not really say their name. I'm
- 4:37Speaker 2: going to say this name again in a minute for
- 4:40Speaker 2: a very specific reason. But this is a kid, effectively
- 4:45Speaker 2: at this time was working at not a child. I
- 4:49Speaker 2: don't know how old he was at the time. It
- 4:52Speaker 2: was in California, wasn't happy about the league, and apparently
- 4:58Speaker 2: was just such a supporter of abortion and Roe v.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Wade that he thought, well, there would be something that
- 5:05Speaker 2: I could do to stop this, and maybe, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 2: maybe I could have an impact on it. And there
- 5:13Speaker 2: was a series at the time of dosing things like
- 5:17Speaker 2: locations and homes places that the Supreme Court justices and
- 5:23Speaker 2: different politicians were going to be at times so that
- 5:25Speaker 2: people could harass them. That was what we were being told.
- 5:28Speaker 2: This is so that you could get out there and
- 5:29Speaker 2: harass them, but it also greatly put them in danger.
- 5:33Speaker 2: So this Rosky planned flew from California and got near
- 5:46Speaker 2: the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and basically like social
- 5:54Speaker 2: media posts and everything about plans to do this, the
- 5:57Speaker 2: assassinating of Brett Kavanaugh, that was the plan to kill him.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I took ammunition, lock picking tools, crowbar, duct tape, pepper spray,
- 6:10Speaker 2: zip ties, hiking boots, pistol light, and I say tactical
- 6:14Speaker 2: knife and basically, oh, and the hiking boots had specially
- 6:23Speaker 2: padded souls to make it easier to move around inside
- 6:26Speaker 2: the home without drawing any attention. Justice Kavanaugh, by the way,
- 6:32Speaker 2: isn't a single man. He's married and he has two kids,
- 6:36Speaker 2: both teenagers. So basically the idea was that when he
- 6:46Speaker 2: and he got there and his plan you know, was
- 6:49Speaker 2: too he laid it out in social media posts and
- 6:52Speaker 2: law enforcement was there and he was seen. So he
- 6:58Speaker 2: basically at that point called a nine one one himself
- 7:04Speaker 2: and told them that he had planned to kill Justice
- 7:07Speaker 2: Kavanaugh and that he was suicidal. Arrested, and basically he
- 7:14Speaker 2: has been in jail for three and a half years,
- 7:17Speaker 2: and he was finally sentenced late last week after a
- 7:21Speaker 2: guilty plea in Maryland US District Judge Deborah Boardman, a
- 7:31Speaker 2: Biden appointee. Okay, so thirty years is the normal sentence
- 7:40Speaker 2: for something like this. When we start talking about things
- 7:42Speaker 2: and we want to say that we had an insurrection
- 7:48Speaker 2: that was trying to take place in the capitol on
- 7:52Speaker 2: January sixth, when we hear that word insurrection, which was
- 7:55Speaker 2: a word that was specifically being used in a very
- 8:00Speaker 2: brainwashing type manner. It was like, this is what we're
- 8:03Speaker 2: going to say, so that if we can plant this
- 8:06Speaker 2: seed of insurrection. There's people that still use the term.
- 8:09Speaker 2: They ignore the fact that there were federal officers that
- 8:13Speaker 2: were there posing as citizens. I don't know that there's
- 8:17Speaker 2: been a lot of explanation yet on what they were doing,
- 8:20Speaker 2: why they were there, why they were dressed as like
- 8:22Speaker 2: Trump supporters or whatever, what the specific role was inside
- 8:26Speaker 2: the Capitol building. They would argue, I'm sure that they
- 8:31Speaker 2: needed to be there for safety and protection. But if
- 8:34Speaker 2: it's two hundred and fifty or whatever the amount was,
- 8:36Speaker 2: that's a lot of extra people. When you look at
- 8:38Speaker 2: the number of people that were just kind of casually
- 8:40Speaker 2: walking around, and you throw in an extra two hundred
- 8:43Speaker 2: and fifty that were actually not citizens or citizens, but
- 8:50Speaker 2: not just average citizens. They were there, you know, federal agents.
- 8:55Speaker 2: So we start throwing around this term of insurrection. It
- 9:00Speaker 2: was an insurrection, it was an attempted insurrection. So there
- 9:05Speaker 2: were a couple of things to go with this that
- 9:09Speaker 2: I feel like we should mention. First of all, let's
- 9:11Speaker 2: go back to remember when an angry mob tried to
- 9:15Speaker 2: break through the fence at the White House to kill
- 9:19Speaker 2: President Trump. They wanted to break through the fence. He
- 9:23Speaker 2: wouldn't come out. I don't even know that he was there,
- 9:26Speaker 2: but I think he was there, wasn't he because he
- 9:28Speaker 2: did end up going to the church Trump was. They
- 9:34Speaker 2: wanted to get him. They wanted to drag him out
- 9:35Speaker 2: by his orange hair and kill him in the lawn
- 9:38Speaker 2: of the White House. All those things they said, which
- 9:42Speaker 2: sounds to me like an insurrection. They wanted to assassinate
- 9:46Speaker 2: the president of the United States that has a You know,
- 9:49Speaker 2: if an angry mob of people is trying to do that,
- 9:53Speaker 2: that to me would fall under insurrection. But what they
- 9:56Speaker 2: did was they set a church on fire in an
- 9:59Speaker 2: attempt to try to draw Trump out, and then I
- 10:01Speaker 2: think Trump ended up going to the church. And at
- 10:04Speaker 2: least in the coming days, once things were settled down
- 10:08Speaker 2: and there were issues, there were people that were angry.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I know, people that were angry. They used smoke bombs
- 10:13Speaker 2: and tear gas on these people. They were peaceful protesters. Outside,
- 10:19Speaker 2: there were people angry that they shut this angry mob
- 10:24Speaker 2: down that wanted to assassinate President Trump. I know people,
- 10:29Speaker 2: I can think of one right now. I see the
- 10:31Speaker 2: face of this person angry. How dare they use some
- 10:37Speaker 2: displacement tactics to get these people away from the White House?
- 10:42Speaker 2: And they wanted to go inside and yeah, no real
- 10:46Speaker 2: talk of insurrection there. It was they wanted to overthrow
- 10:51Speaker 2: the president. That's what they wanted to do. They wanted
- 10:53Speaker 2: to kill him and take his life. Then we have
- 10:57Speaker 2: this example of someone trying to bully, scare, intimidate, even
- 11:03Speaker 2: kill a Supreme Court justice who was part of this
- 11:08Speaker 2: obviously now very important ruling. Imagine what takes place if
- 11:16Speaker 2: this assassination happens. Joe Biden then gets to decide who
- 11:21Speaker 2: the next Supreme Court justice is. It would have had
- 11:25Speaker 2: an impact on the outcome of that election. It would
- 11:28Speaker 2: have changed the outcome, not the election, on the outcome
- 11:31Speaker 2: of the verdict by the Supreme Court.
- 11:36Speaker 1: So what.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Almost happened was it would have been very very Charlie
- 11:44Speaker 2: kirk esk. Don't you think of people celebrating Justice Kavanaugh
- 11:49Speaker 2: being killed? We would have just seen all this sooner.
- 11:52Speaker 2: There would have been a celebration of him being killed.
- 11:55Speaker 2: There would have been a celebration of Donald Trump being
- 11:58Speaker 2: murdered at the White House, there would have been people celebrating.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Don't kid yourself the fact that we saw a celebration
- 12:06Speaker 2: over a healthcare ceo, United Healthcare ceo murdered. We still
- 12:13Speaker 2: see celebrations of that. I saw a guy walking around
- 12:16Speaker 2: at DRAGONCN dressed as Luigi Mangioni, except wearing a Mario
- 12:21Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers Luigi hat. That's not representative of all
- 12:24Speaker 2: the people at Dragon con, by the way, They're not
- 12:26Speaker 2: all horrible. Just this one guy. Just this one guy,
- 12:31Speaker 2: and maybe a handful of people who went woo you know.
- 12:35Speaker 2: I don't know if they were woohoo in because he
- 12:36Speaker 2: was dressed as Luigi from the game, or celebrating the
- 12:40Speaker 2: murder of a human being that had nothing to do
- 12:43Speaker 2: with them or the guy that murdered him. I don't know.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I can just tell you that there are people who
- 12:51Speaker 2: would have celebrated Donald Trump being murdered. There were people
- 12:53Speaker 2: who definitely would have celebrated Justice Kavanaugh being murdered. They
- 12:57Speaker 2: would have celebrated at the The final ruling from the
- 13:03Speaker 2: Supreme Court on this case would not have been able
- 13:06Speaker 2: to play out the way that it was going to
- 13:09Speaker 2: and a new justice, a liberal justice that would have
- 13:12Speaker 2: tipped the balance of power in the Supreme Court would
- 13:15Speaker 2: have played out, which of course would have been justifiable
- 13:21Speaker 2: by many on the left. They would have said, well,
- 13:22Speaker 2: this is what we needed to have happened. Good for
- 13:25Speaker 2: this guy or is it a guy? You see, that's
- 13:31Speaker 2: part of what happened here in this ruling. You see
- 13:38Speaker 2: Rosky is it Rosky decided that while in captivity, while
- 13:46Speaker 2: in prison it was now going to had gender dysphoria
- 13:52Speaker 2: and was changing his gender. And that was part of
- 13:57Speaker 2: I guess the ruling. There was some sympathy that played
- 14:00Speaker 2: out here by this judge and now going by another name,
- 14:08Speaker 2: is it Sophie. So yeah, you got somebody who is
- 14:14Speaker 2: now living as a woman, and they decided, well, thirty
- 14:17Speaker 2: years is a bit much, so we're going to drop
- 14:21Speaker 2: this down. We're going to drop it down to just
- 14:25Speaker 2: eight years instead of the thirty year sentence. So yeah,
- 14:34Speaker 2: and this is what's now And if you've heard any
- 14:38Speaker 2: of that, and this is the other part of this,
- 14:40Speaker 2: because we all saw this story when it was playing
- 14:44Speaker 2: out and it happened. But what's interesting about it is, yeah,
- 14:50Speaker 2: now that you hear the story. They don't refer to
- 14:54Speaker 2: this as he. This is now either a they or
- 14:58Speaker 2: female pronouns, which is apparent his preference. I guess it
- 15:02Speaker 2: was even presented to the court that yes, Roski's mother
- 15:05Speaker 2: now recognizes the change in identity as far as gender,
- 15:10Speaker 2: and yes, now going by of they them or she pronouns,
- 15:17Speaker 2: she her pronouns. So this is basically something that easily
- 15:23Speaker 2: would have tipped the scales. And I don't know how
- 15:26Speaker 2: attacking one of the one of the governing bodies in
- 15:33Speaker 2: our country, our Supreme Court, right, this is our whole
- 15:37Speaker 2: checks and balances, our balance of power. And if you
- 15:40Speaker 2: go after the Supreme Court, you go after the judicial branch.
- 15:43Speaker 2: How is this not falling under the category of an insurrection?
- 15:47Speaker 2: Even just trying to intimidate them, What are they thinking
- 15:50Speaker 2: when this guy is outside Justice Kavanaugh's home? And why
- 15:54Speaker 2: why was he there? We know why he was there,
- 15:56Speaker 2: but again why because there had been some push, some
- 16:01Speaker 2: influence somewhere saying remember his confirmation. He's a terrible human being,
- 16:08Speaker 2: He's dirt, he's awful, he's the worst thing ever. He
- 16:10Speaker 2: took a sip of a beer when he was sixteen
- 16:13Speaker 2: or eighteen or whatever it was in an area where
- 16:16Speaker 2: that was allowed. But he must have had a drinking problem.
- 16:20Speaker 2: And we had one person that came out and said
- 16:22Speaker 2: he did some horrible thing, and there were no other witnesses,
- 16:24Speaker 2: and even the one person who was accusing him didn't
- 16:28Speaker 2: really remember the story, doesn't even remember what happened. But
- 16:31Speaker 2: we're just supposed to believe that we were told over
- 16:34Speaker 2: and over again he was a horrible person. That would
- 16:36Speaker 2: have justified it. Right if you're this rosky guy, wouldn't
- 16:39Speaker 2: you have felt, well, maybe this guy needs to go.
- 16:41Speaker 2: He's about to He's a terrible pert. Why did he
- 16:44Speaker 2: pick on him specifically? Was that just the easiest one
- 16:47Speaker 2: to get to? Was that the justice who was docksed
- 16:50Speaker 2: most frequently or had a home that was most easy
- 16:53Speaker 2: to get to from California? I don't know, but I
- 16:57Speaker 2: do know thankfully, the police were there, they were ready,
- 17:02Speaker 2: they were doing their jobs, and this did not change
- 17:07Speaker 2: greatly the way that America would things would have played
- 17:11Speaker 2: out in America over the past a couple of years,
- 17:15Speaker 2: because this would be a very different America had he
- 17:20Speaker 2: been murdered and his family had been killed in their
- 17:23Speaker 2: homes in the name of trying to overturn a ruling.

- 19:51Speaker 2: you want it to be, and you need some repair
- 19:53Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 19:56Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making annoy when
- 20:00Speaker 2: your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort
- 20:03Speaker 2: of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather,
- 20:07Speaker 2: Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
- 20:11Speaker 2: looking at a situation where you'd like to add a

- 20:16Speaker 2: put down and you can use your garage space as
- 20:19Speaker 2: a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you

- 20:49Speaker 2: O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right
- 20:54Speaker 2: after the break, well are you ready for retirement? Financial
- 21:06Speaker 2: experts believe Americans who wish to retire and live comfortably
- 21:09Speaker 2: need to have around one and a half million dollars
- 21:12Speaker 2: put away, But where you live out that retirement will
- 21:16Speaker 2: determine how far your savings will go. A new analysis
- 21:20Speaker 2: from go Banking Rates ran the numbers and figured out
- 21:23Speaker 2: how long one and a half million dollars would last
- 21:25Speaker 2: in each state and determined it would last the longest
- 21:28Speaker 2: in West Virginia, then Kansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and then Alabama.
- 21:34Speaker 2: At the opposite end of the list are Hawaii, California, Massachusetts,
- 21:38Speaker 2: New York, and Alaska. Alaska kind of surprises me to
- 21:43Speaker 2: be in the top five. But yeah, that one seems
- 21:47Speaker 2: a little odd, doesn't it. Those others are all Blue states.
- 21:50Speaker 2: It all makes sense, doesn't it. I don't know about Alaska.
- 21:52Speaker 2: That one seems a little strange to me. New trend
- 21:56Speaker 2: is emerging with some gen Z and young millennial men
- 22:00Speaker 2: becoming what are called stay at home suns or trad sons.
- 22:05Speaker 2: They live rent free with their parents and take on
- 22:09Speaker 2: chores like cooking, cleaning, and running errands in exchange for
- 22:13Speaker 2: room and board, some even launching brands about it. With
- 22:18Speaker 2: rising inflation and a tough job market, housing crisis, all
- 22:24Speaker 2: the things we've been dealing with for the last five years,
- 22:26Speaker 2: many young adults choosing comfort and security at home over
- 22:28Speaker 2: struggling to make it on their own. However, experts warn
- 22:32Speaker 2: that the arrangement should only be a temporary, transitional one
- 22:35Speaker 2: rather than a long term plan, to which I think
- 22:39Speaker 2: many of those trad sons are saying, why don't you
- 22:41Speaker 2: mind your business, mister expert, mind your business, I'm washing
- 22:48Speaker 2: dishes over here. Survey found that eighty four percent of
- 22:53Speaker 2: respondents agree that scary movies are a staple of the
- 22:56Speaker 2: Halloween season. Most people watch five different scary movies this
- 22:59Speaker 2: time year, though twenty three percent will watch ten or more.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Forty six percent say that watching a scary movie puts
- 23:07Speaker 2: them in the spooky mood season or a spooky season mood.
- 23:13Speaker 2: I think is probably the way that was supposed to
- 23:14Speaker 2: be worried. Thirty thirty percent say that horror is their
- 23:17Speaker 2: favorite movie genre, no matter the season. Sixty eight percent
- 23:21Speaker 2: enjoyed horror movies when they were a kid. Seventy three
- 23:24Speaker 2: percent say they still enjoy them today. Sixty five percent
- 23:27Speaker 2: saw their first horror movie before they were eleven years old. Yeah,
- 23:30Speaker 2: I'm in that group. Sixty percent Halloween Baby, sixty percent
- 23:34Speaker 2: where watch. They said that watching their first scary movie
- 23:37Speaker 2: at a slumber party is a bit of a right
- 23:41Speaker 2: of passage. Yeah, I can see. That makes sense to me. Uh.
- 23:46Speaker 2: We're getting closer to a world with flying taxis, and
- 23:49Speaker 2: companies like Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation are gearing up
- 23:54Speaker 2: for commercial launches in the next few years. Electric vertical
- 23:58Speaker 2: takeoff and landing aircraft or engineered to zip passengers across
- 24:03Speaker 2: cities and minutes, skipping traffic, cutting carbon emissions as well.
- 24:06Speaker 2: The FAA already trying to figure out how to safely
- 24:10Speaker 2: allow these new vehicles to get around in and out
- 24:13Speaker 2: of busy airport areas in places like New York and LA.
- 24:17Speaker 2: This will be an interesting new problem to have to solve.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Politicians in California have just passed a new law regulating
- 24:25Speaker 2: the volume of commercials being shown in streaming services, as
- 24:29Speaker 2: in how loud should the commercials sound on your TV,
- 24:34Speaker 2: while requiring platforms like Hulu and Peacock to make sure
- 24:36Speaker 2: that the ads don't blast louder than the shows themselves.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Federal laws like this are already in place for broadcast
- 24:43Speaker 2: TV and radio, and now it seems California lawmakers are
- 24:47Speaker 2: closing the loophole that was still open for the streaming companies.
- 24:53Speaker 2: How about here the ads blasting you. I want to
- 24:55Speaker 2: make sure that's not happening. I don't want it blasting you.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Please let me know, not for regulation reasons, just because
- 25:01Speaker 2: it's not something I've ever really thought about. I don't
- 25:05Speaker 2: hear it when I'm listening, but I'm just curious. I
- 25:09Speaker 2: don't listen on all of the streaming services all the time,
- 25:12Speaker 2: so I don't know what they sound like. Apple's latest
- 25:15Speaker 2: operating system for the iOS seventeen, they have added a
- 25:22Speaker 2: new feature that lets you ask someone why they're calling
- 25:26Speaker 2: before you pick up. The new ask reason for Calling
- 25:29Speaker 2: feature is sort of like having your own receptionist. When
- 25:32Speaker 2: someone who isn't in your contacts calls, your iPhone automatically
- 25:36Speaker 2: answers the call with a polite, automated message asking for
- 25:39Speaker 2: their name and reason for calling. The caller is placed
- 25:43Speaker 2: on hold while their response is transcribed to text and
- 25:46Speaker 2: displayed on your screen, letting you decide whether to accept,
- 25:49Speaker 2: decline or to ask for more information. I like it.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I like it. Ready for that to come to the
- 25:57Speaker 2: other phones as well. All right, that'll do it for
- 26:00Speaker 2: this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
