The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day.
0:07
You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, ninth day
0:12
of April. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me already marking the next eclipse
0:18
on the calendar. It's only like twenty years away. Go ahead and mark
0:22
that down. I need to be in the path of totality for that one.
0:26
I know you may be tired of hearing about the eclipse, but I
0:29
got a lot of friends who made the effort to get into the path of
0:34
totality and got to experience that. And you know, it was a bit
0:40
of an effort to do that. And I thought to myself in Luke asked
0:46
as well, and I thought, we can we pull that off? And
0:48
Luke said, why can't we go maybe to Arkansas? Thought, but it's
0:52
a school day. You got to go, you know, we got to
0:55
do that anyway. So and then as we get close and closer, UT
1:00
thought that we messed up. We should have gone maybe to Arkansas. Looked
1:03
like Arkansas had a great view of the eclipse, and a few other places
1:08
had great views. I think most areas got at least some experience with totality
1:14
that were in the path. So but I ended up yesterday just deciding,
1:19
you know what, I'm the dad, I'm going to check the parent.
1:25
Jill and I both were okay with this, but we were like, we're
1:26
going to check them out and be able to fully experience the best view of
1:32
the eclipse we can here and at the seventy eight to eighty percent range that
1:36
we got here in the Columbus, Georgia area, and we did that.
1:42
One of the school principles that I was in communication with yesterday said excused absence.
1:47
That's great. You know they weren't going to do anything at the school.
1:53
The other one I was told at checkout, you know they're going to
1:56
be unexcused being out of one period at the end of the day. And
2:00
I was like, I don't care. I don't care. It shouldn't be
2:05
unexcused. This is for us. And I wrote down on the checkout sheet
2:09
that I was the excuse. The reason for checking out was science, right,
2:15
And then I think I finally wrote eclipse next to it. Why would
2:19
they not be encouraged? I get it. You don't want a teacher with
2:23
twenty to thirty kids outside tempted to look up at the sun and hurting their
2:28
eyes. I get that for a number of reasons. You don't want kids
2:31
to get injured. You don't want other kids not to get a similar experience,
2:37
and it's a challenge, I'm sure to get all the kids outside to
2:39
look at the eclipse and safely do that, and they didn't. I know
2:44
that a lot of the school districts and private schools did not want to participate
2:47
in it that way. Therefore, I understand, but if parents wanted to
2:52
check their kids out so that they could experience the eclipse, why would you
2:55
not encourage that. I don't understand, but anyway, and maybe that will
3:00
end up being excused by today. I don't really know how that all plays
3:04
out, but it is what it is. So yeah, then we've got
3:08
twenty years we got to wait before the next one. So we really enjoyed
3:13
the experience with our T Mobile eclipse glasses. This was a promo item that
3:19
they were giving away. Is that they do it for customers and this isn't
3:23
necessarily a commercial for T Mobile. I've been with them for a really long
3:25
time and they do certain days or tuesdays, but they have certain things that
3:31
they give away each Tuesday, and I haven't checked today yet, but that
3:38
particular a couple of weeks ago, that particular Tuesday, they were giving away
3:43
eclipse glasses and I was like, I need to get our eclipse glasses so
3:46
we can be ready for this. And they were perfect, just a pair
3:47
of sunglasses with a clip on a clip shield in the front. And I
3:52
did see at least one friend on social media who had some as well outside
3:57
of this area, and they were perfect. Jill actually took the clip off
4:01
of the sunglasses and put them on her regular glasses and that worked fine as
4:05
well. So pretty neat stuff there, much better than the little paper ones.
4:10
Now, I know we got twenty years to wait before the next eclipse,
4:14
so really these things are just going to be taken up space for twenty
4:18
years. Got to keep up with them for twenty years. The paper ones,
4:23
it's a little easier to tuck them away somewhere or you dispose of them.
4:27
I don't necessarily think you should do that, but if you're talking about
4:29
keeping up with something for twenty years, I know that may be temptation.
4:31
But anyway, so the eclipse is coming gone. We got twenty years before
4:38
the next one of its kind, and plenty of time to talk about that.
4:43
We'll talk about that on Metea Stars in twenty years on the podcast.
4:47
All right, so let's talk about the announcement. I guess yesterday morning because
4:53
there was some other news and it was a video released on truth Social by
4:58
former President Trump where talked about abortion. There were a lot of questions about
5:03
what his position would be rolling into this election when it came to abortion,
5:11
and that question has now been answered. There were some questions about where this
5:17
was going to go and exactly what, and I guess he was asked somewhere
5:21
if he was going to make a statement about abortion since the you know,
5:26
overturning of Roe v. Wade and all of that over the last few years,
5:30
and he was asking you know where, They were asking him where he
5:33
stood on it, and he said, I'll have an announcement soon on all
5:36
of this. So basically, and he has said that he would consider that
5:43
there could be a national ban on abortion at the sixteen week mark. But
5:48
now from this message on truth Social, he says that he opposes any sort
5:53
of national ban. He thinks this is definitely a states rights issue and that
5:59
the where it should stay, which is where it currently is. That is
6:03
a similar opinion by the way that former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg held. That
6:12
was her opinion. She thought that this, based on the law, should
6:15
be a state's rights issue. And ultimately, and I've said this before and
6:19
I'll say this forever, Ruth bader Ginsburg, if you are happy about the
6:27
overturning of Roe v. Wade, then you should be thankful to Ruth bader
6:31
Ginsburg. If you are not happy about the overturning of Roe v. Wade,
6:35
you should be angry with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Interestingly enough, a lot
6:42
of people who hold her in high esteem upset about Roe v. Wade being
6:46
overturned, but don't realize that she's the reason that it was overturned. Ultimately,
6:51
you can blame You could put the blame solely on her shoulders, largely
6:57
on her shoulders, but ultimately it came down to her a decision that she
7:00
made that allowed it to happen. And she was basically during the Obama presidency,
7:10
she was becoming very senior in the job. It's a very diplomatic way
7:15
to put it, isn't it. And she was approached by then President Obama,
7:19
who said, hey, if you step down now, I can replace
7:23
you before my term ends. And she said, no, I want Hillary
7:27
Clinton to be the one to actually appoint my replacement, and we'll wait for
7:33
that. And she did and Hillary Clinton did not win, and of course
7:38
Donald Trump ultimately is the one who filled that seat. That was a big
7:43
part on the Roe v. Wade being overturned decision. So just keep that
7:46
in mind. This was a lot of hubris, a lot of I don't
7:50
know, whatever you want to call it, but that's not the way it
7:56
played out the way that she wanted it to. And if she had just,
8:00
you know, really stopped and thought things through, not been quite so
8:03
confident and cocky about the way the election was going to go, then you
8:07
know, it might have turned out a whole lot differently. But this is
8:11
where we are. It fell back to the States, which is where Ruth
8:16
Badergensburg had famously said she thought it based on the law, where it should
8:20
be, and now she has the same views as former President Trump. I've
8:26
talked on this show for a while because I think there were some opportunities that
8:30
came up, and these things came up during the Republican debates, questions about
8:35
whether or not Nicki Haley and others they would support some sort of a federal
8:41
law to come in place for abortion. And I've told you here that Democrats
8:48
don't want that yet. They don't want anything to change with abortion right now.
8:54
If Republicans came in right now and said we're willing to give you anything
9:01
you want on abortion, you can have it all the way up to the
9:07
baby is born, an hour after the baby is born. If Republicans said
9:09
that, Democrats wouldn't take that deal right now. They don't want it.
9:15
That's not what they want. What they want is it to be something that
9:20
might motivate people to vote in this election. That's what they want. Opportunities
9:26
have come up, and some questions sixteen weeks, twenty weeks, some of
9:30
those things have come up. Democrats don't even want to talk about it.
9:35
They'll tell you that women are in danger, that women are missing out on
9:41
valuable health care, that women are missing out on incredible, just basic health
9:50
care may incredible, they're missing out on basic health care needs that they're not
9:56
and that it's incredible. I think was the word that was you used in
10:00
one of these interviews that you know, their grandparents had better access to health
10:05
care than their children will, and that of course has been the bill of
10:13
sale for you know, when it comes to planned parenthood, clinics, when
10:20
it comes to Roe v. Wade in general, this is just about women
10:24
having health care. That's all it's about. It's just about women's health care.
10:30
This isn't about terminating pregnancies. This is just about women having safe health
10:35
care. That's what they said it was all about. And they're saying now
10:39
that women don't, especially in these states that have strict laws, they're not
10:43
able to get the health care that they need, and that they're in danger.
10:46
They're putting their lives in danger every day. That Republicans are putting these
10:50
women's lives in danger every day that they don't have Roe v. Wade back
10:56
in place. Yet, when someone comes along and says, well, what
11:01
would be the number of weeks that you could agree with Republicans on? Would
11:05
you sit down with them and agree with sixteen weeks? Would you agree with
11:11
twenty weeks? Whatever it is? And I say no, we're not going
11:13
to talk about it. But you just said that women are in danger.
11:18
Some of your you know, your constituents they're in danger, they're in danger,
11:24
they're dying, and you're not even willing to talk about it. Well,
11:28
understand, this is not about abortion rights. This is about using the
11:35
fear of not having abortion rights as a way to get people to show up
11:41
and vote. That's what it's about. That's the strategy, that's the game
11:46
plan, that's everything for this election. You're going to fall into one of
11:50
two categories. Well, there's really more than two. You've got people who
11:56
support Trump and that are going to vote for Trump no matter what. You
11:58
got people are going to vote Democrat no matter what. Okay, and I
12:03
you know the Trump people. There's going to be some Republicans in there that
12:07
maybe they're just vote Republican in general, but largely Trump still is the guy
12:11
on the right that a lot of people are still excited about. People aren't
12:16
excited about Biden, but they'll vote Democrat because that's what they've always done and
12:22
that's what they feel like they're supposed to do. So you got that those
12:26
two camps, those two groups are there, they're in place, they're ready
12:30
to do marching orders. Then what you've got is anybody who's independent or anybody
12:37
who maybe they don't like Trump, but they also hate the Biden economy.
12:43
Maybe you've got people that don't necessarily want to vote for Biden this time,
12:48
and maybe they'd think about Trump, but they go, well, but we
12:50
got to get abortion back. So that's kind of where this is all going
12:54
to fall. You've got people that are fed up with crime, you got
12:58
people that are fed up with the boys, they're fed up with immigration.
13:01
Keep in mind, part of the way that this works with all of the
13:05
people who've come across the border is they have to just stay here long enough
13:07
to have a baby, right. I mean, that's really kind of the
13:13
strategy that kind of comes in place with this. You get enough people flood
13:16
them across the border, they have a baby, and then suddenly you know,
13:22
they're making the case from why they should be able to stay because the
13:24
baby was born here American citizen. And that's something that needs to be looked
13:31
at because of the way that that I mean that had to do with early
13:37
days of this country. You know, it's a little different now if you're
13:41
talking about having a baby while you're an Americans saying, well, they were
13:45
born on US soil, that makes them an American citizen. Well, if
13:48
it's two Americans that have a baby in another country, that's still an American
13:54
citizen. You know, the Ted Cruz thing, the well John McCain,
14:00
it was on a military base. But the point there is people are fed
14:05
up. People are fed up with what's coming because of the byproduct of a
14:09
bad border situation. They're fed up with the budget, financial budgets for themselves.
14:16
They're fed up with inflation. They're fed up with people telling them,
14:22
Hey, the jobs are great, unemployment is down. Look at all the
14:26
jobs we've created since we took over, and the only reason that the job
14:31
numbers went back up is because they were down during COVID. You can't take
14:33
credit for that with any sort of integrity. You can't. But that's not
14:39
the game. They want to take credit for it because they can't. So
14:43
you got people who see those things. And then you've got people who just
14:46
say, I would like to terminate pregnancies right whatever the timeframe is on it.
14:52
And there are some that want to be able to do it right up
14:56
until the baby's born. That's not many people. And then you've got some
14:58
people who say, look, we've got a short window that we should be
15:05
able to do this the kind of reasonable conversation that can be had. Look,
15:09
I know Trump was going to say what he said because it was the
15:13
only thing he could say politically. For him to say that he would consider
15:18
it at fifteen or sixteen weeks, I do think that that kind of conversation
15:22
needs to happen. See I think that I may do another show on this
15:26
later in the week. I think you have to understand there are a lot
15:30
of people who, for religious reasons, for morality reasons to them, because
15:37
of their beliefs, they look at abortion, they look at the issue of
15:41
abortion, and they say, this is wrong. This doesn't fit into what
15:46
I believe to be what my faith says it should be right. And then
15:52
you've got people who say, well, you can't expect the country to be
16:00
a theocracy, right that you can't. It's not what America was founded on.
16:07
Man, I could do a whole show on this topic, and I
16:08
really, I really think I need to so you understand. And this is
16:14
and I've talked about this before. I have a morality issue when it comes
16:18
to abortion. But to me, there's a number of political issues that you
16:23
say, well, these are what I this is what I believe, which
16:26
does often motivate where my conscience is when it comes to voting. But I
16:33
also understand that my Christian values aren't necessarily in the subject of what's going to
16:41
be legislated in our government. See, you can say I think that abortion
16:52
is wrong, but I can also say that I understand that half of the
16:57
country would like to have that as a right. I don't know exactly what
17:02
the stat is, it may not quite be half. And I understand that
17:07
this is something that is it's never going to go away. This is not
17:11
something that you're just going to say, well, people aren't going to have
17:14
that right and we're just going to continue on with our lives, and you're
17:18
gonna have states that are going to say, Nope, you can't do it.
17:21
At some point, it feels like a national ban or national allowance on
17:33
this is coming and it's going to become the law of the land. Like,
17:37
it feels like that's coming. So which would you rather it be?
17:40
Would you rather it be a third trimester or would you rather it be twelve
17:45
weeks fifteen weeks? Feels like that's what's coming. Feels like I could understand
17:49
from a governing standpoint, why you're going to have some politicians on the right
17:56
that have come across the isle and said, look, let's talk about what
17:59
the compromise needs to be. Because before there wasn't a compromise. You had
18:03
places that were pushing for third term abortions and most Americans say that's not okay.
18:11
And you had people bragging, oh my gosh, think about all the
18:14
abortions I had. My third one was my favorite, my fifth one?
18:17
What was a good time too? And that's tacky, that's not helping anything.
18:22
That's an obviously very poor taste. And you can say, what it
18:26
was just a joke. There's some jokes that aren't in good taste. Those
18:30
aren't in good taste. Those are part of the reason. Also them and
18:33
you know, Ruth Better Ginsberg. The jokes and Ruth Better Ginsberg are the
18:37
reasons that ultimately the decision ended up coming down and the decision got made.
18:44
But now it's going it's becoming advantageous for the left to say, we don't
18:51
want to compromise right now because we think that this is going to be what
18:55
carries us in these elections. And you have to look, you have to
18:59
say, well, is it going to change things in Congress, it might.
19:03
Is it going to change things in some of the states when it comes
19:07
to state elections it might. Is it going to have an impact on governors
19:11
and states? It might. Is it going to have an impact on who's
19:15
president next year? It might. So the strategies there, but you can't
19:22
tell us that this is about women's health care and women are suffering and people
19:26
are dying because they don't have health care, and you could do something to
19:30
help them. Instead, you just say, we're going to wait until the
19:33
election and see how this goes. You can't have it both ways, and
19:37
that's what they're trying to do. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State
19:40
Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM
19:48
leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean, they
19:52
do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
19:56
Science Center, but they also do it through their the university programs where you
20:00
can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM
20:07
fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your
20:12
degree on their website. CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
20:21
out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
20:26
with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
20:30
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
20:36
of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
20:40
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
20:42
major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
20:49
Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check
20:55
out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy
21:00
Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at
21:03
the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights
21:10
you don't want any light interference, and you can do that as well.
21:11
Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As
21:18
Sean Cruisin says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
21:23
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
21:30
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
21:33
door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time
21:41
for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move
21:45
and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care
21:51
of squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
21:53
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
21:57
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
22:03
be and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you
22:06
need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your
22:11
garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've
22:15
got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
22:21
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
22:25
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
22:27
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
22:33
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
22:37
a little man cavid, you'd like to be able to open the door up
22:38
and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as
22:42
well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that
22:47
thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
22:51
and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well.
22:55
Seven oh six orty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh six three five
22:59
eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
23:04
the break, what would you ever carry around a merse? Guys the male
23:21
purse, male handbags, I guess Apparently they're having a big surge right now
23:26
in popularity, as Harry Styles, Travis Kelcey, David Beckham and others are
23:32
wearing designer handbags and tote bags. According to Vogue, business sales for men's
23:37
bags increased by seven percent in twenty twenty two, and sales of men's designer
23:44
bags have jumped five percent since twenty twenty. The reason other than the style
23:48
is convenience. Content creator Jalen Noble told The New York Post. I noticed
23:56
that when I would just wear pants with two pockets in them, and that's
24:00
it, my pockets would look bulky. Uh. Some people might call them
24:06
a bag, a satchel, or anything else that people want to label it,
24:08
But to me, it's just a crossbody purse. And I love them.
24:14
And basically justifying having this merse if you will, I thought merse,
24:18
and I know they're saying like a male purse, but I thought merse was
24:22
used to be the it was used supposedly derogatory to being a male nurse.
24:29
But uh, you know, I don't know that I could. I mean,
24:33
I like a backpack. I don't know about like a tote That just
24:37
seems a bit much. I remember, Uh, was it Lebron James got
24:42
upset at a press conference and as him or Cam Newton, one of them
24:47
had brought in I think it was Lebron James had brought in a male tote
24:51
bag and got mad because of a question he got asked, and he stood
24:55
up and grabbed his merse and stormed off. And it just didn't look like
25:00
an NBA player i'd recognize. But you know, whatever, it's a weird
25:06
world. Let's say that often there's a Brooklyn church that inserts music into their
25:11
sermons, and they're using Fleetwood Mac now into their weekly services. It's the
25:15
Gaya Music Collective. Ohs about two hundred worshippers every week in the basement of
25:22
a former church, including various celebrities, and sometimes they sing along on visits.
25:29
People regularly travel from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to join in, and have
25:33
flown in from Jamaica, Germany, Australia. Services can include songs about artists
25:38
like Fleetwood, Mac, Taylor, Swift, Marianna. They do not do
25:42
a collection plate at this particular church. Instead, there's an eleven dollars cover
25:48
charge to attend the services. That's the way to do it. I don't
25:52
know anything about the church. I don't even know anything about the message.
25:57
I mean, if the message which is you know, Fleetwood Mac songs or
26:03
Stevie Nick songs or Rihanna or Taylorth, I mean, I don't know if
26:07
you work umbrella into a sermon. I don't know what kind of church it
26:11
is, but anyway, it's it's neat. I guess do you wash new
26:15
sheets before you put them on the bed for the first time. If you
26:19
don't, you might want to think about it. Apparently, new sheets are
26:26
new, but likely covered in dust and dirt from the factory where they came,
26:30
or just from the shelf they were sitting on before you bought them.
26:33
But here's the other thing. They may actually have bugs insects on them,
26:40
which could have found their way onto the fabric during manufacturing or packaging. There's
26:44
also chemicals used in the dying process. So basically, in short, you
26:48
should probably wash your sheets in hot water before you put them on your bed.
26:52
You wash a new cup in hot water before you drink out of it,
26:55
right, a new frying pan, all those sorts of things. So
26:59
it's a good idea. And similarly, you should probably wash new clothes before
27:06
you wear them the first time. I'll just say this, much like clothes,
27:11
that they don't feel right until you've washed them, at least once.
27:15
I have worn clothes like a shirt that was new without washing it. It's
27:21
not often though, I like to give it a good wash first, and
27:23
it's the same with sheets. They have a certain feel to them, and
27:26
once you've washed them then they have a different feel to them. And that
27:30
second feel after the wash is better than the first feel before that they're washed.
27:34
So if you want to look younger without cosmetic surgery, they say you
27:38
should eat more fruit. We've discussed a couple of these things that they say
27:44
you could do if you want to look younger without having to get anything tucked
27:48
or nipped or whatever. And basically there's a facelift diet. Someone named star
27:57
Chichara maybe is the creator of this particular diet, and she calls the fruit
28:06
basically the underdog of fruit groups, of food groups. She loves all fruit,
28:11
but she says mangoes, pineapples, oranges, or the fountain of youth.
28:14
And she says, think about it this way. You want to be
28:18
a juicy, colorful grape, not a brown shriveled raisin. That's, I
28:23
guess, a good point. And if you think about it in those terms.
28:29
I don't know what she's got against raisins, but you know, anyway,
28:33
that'll do it. For this Tuesday edition of the show, thanks to
