The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carol Morning Show. Thursday morning, sixth day
0:11
of July high I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. I guess we're kind
0:16
of now at that point where we're halfway through the year. I don't know,
0:20
you got the days we lose in February February, but we're officially on
0:27
the on the on the down side, on the decline, over the hump,
0:34
on our way towards Christmas. Right, Christmas will be here before we
0:41
know it. Uh so, Uh yeah, I mean I think we just
0:46
passed the halfway point. I don't know. It's you know, you got
0:49
the couple extra days that have to be accounted for in February, and then
0:52
there's extra day. You know, this month has the extra day, next
0:56
month has an extra day. But we're past it. We're on the downhill.
1:00
We're working our way towards at twenty twenty four. Sorry I had to
1:04
be the one to point that out. But it's just the reality. Man,
1:07
It's it's really flying by. I keep telling my kids, I'm like
1:12
at one little thing that I'm especially excited about for the holidays this year,
1:18
specifically for Christmas, but you know it relates to the holidays in general,
1:22
because you tend to at least we do get our Christmas decorations up around Thanksgiving,
1:29
right around that weekend, and we had we do an artificial tree.
1:33
We've done an artificial tree for a long time, and we were limping on
1:37
our last artificial tree. It was not in good shape. And we got
1:38
a new one last year after Christmas on sale heavily discounted. I'm really excited
1:45
about it. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to this year for
1:49
the end of the year. Just excited about the opportunity to put up our
1:52
brand new Christmas tree because the other one was struggling, big time, big
1:57
time. It was struggling. But anyway, you gotta you gotta appreciate.
2:00
Now there's also the part of me, and this will give you a good
2:04
perspective into how my brain works, how my head works, and it's this
2:07
is the sad, scary part of this. I'm already dreading the point where
2:12
once we've got it up and it's brand new, that's it. It's not
2:15
new anymore. Then we don't have a new tree anymore. Once we got
2:21
the new one up and it's decorated. We actually now do a couple of
2:24
trees because we have a smaller tree that we used to have. When Jill
2:30
and I first got together and got our tree, there was a little tree,
2:36
not a Charlie Brown tree, but our friends called it that, So
2:38
we get we've gotten some extra life out of that one as well. But
2:42
I'm just excited about the upcoming brand new tree. I just am. You
2:46
know, got to look for the things to be excited about, and that's
2:49
the thing I'm excited about. Are one of the things I'm excited about.
2:53
All right, let's talk about the mysterious white powder that just randomly showed up
3:05
in the White House. Okay, just mysterious white powder. Now, the
3:12
Bidens, we're not in the White House when the mysterious white powder was found.
3:17
The Bidens were on vacation. They're on vacation a lot, all right.
3:25
I've said before, I don't mind the fact that we have presidents that
3:31
take lots of vacations. Trump took some grief for the amount of golf that
3:35
he played. I do think because it's a tough job. It's a tough
3:39
job, Okay, and you're just when you have time that you know,
3:45
you look at presidents, you look at how much they age while they're in
3:47
the White House. They get eight years I mean, Bush, Obama,
3:53
Clinton, I mean they look rough by the end. Now, in fairness,
4:00
only a third of those had any sort of you know, sex scandal
4:03
accusations, so I would imagine that would also make an age pretty quickly as
4:09
well. The other two Bush and Obama not so much, right, not
4:15
so much. Now. Bush was dealing with an attack on America and a
4:18
war, Obama dealing with the weight of being the first black president. So
4:24
they all had reasons to age quickly. But when you're already very senior and
4:30
you really seem to take more vacation days than than not, I guess they're
4:35
just trying to you know, they can't really rapidly age Biden very much.
4:41
They can't afford to do that. They got to at least get him to
4:44
election day next year. Right, So the Bidens were on vacation, not
4:49
a shot when they announced it, and they said the White House had to
4:54
be evacuated mysterious white powder found. But the Bidens were on vacation, and
5:00
there was no doubt in my mind, the Bidens were on vacation none.
5:04
I mean the holiday weekend of sorts, because we had a holiday on Tuesday.
5:12
It was that special bonus holiday weekend. So the fact that they were
5:15
on vacation on a surprise, A lot of people were on vacation. But
5:18
they would have been on vacation anyway if this just happened, if this happened
5:23
this weekend, they would be on vacation. I mean, they're gonna be
5:26
on vacation. Odds are they do? He's got the kind of Carson schedule.
5:30
Maybe, I don't know. Does he do three days even in the
5:32
White House? I don't know. They were on vacation. While on vacation,
5:36
they were joined by Hunter. He showed up and joined them on vacation,
5:44
because you know, it's vacation. They're family, they're gonna they're gonna
5:47
do that, right, So he joined him on vacation. He was not
5:54
in the White House. They were not in the White House. The mysterious
5:57
white powder was investigative and as you may have heard, yes, it in
6:02
fact was cocaine. So then the question became, huh, how did he
6:11
get there? Now? The White House seems to be making a significant effort
6:16
to make sure that we all know and we all understand that this had nothing
6:25
to do with Hunter Biden, nothing at all. Right, they want to
6:30
make sure that we know this had nothing to do with him. Okay,
6:34
it's being investigated, but they want to make sure that we know I didn't
6:41
have anything to do with him. The White House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre
6:46
says the substance was found in a heavily traveled area of the West Wing and
6:51
that the West Wing tours were conducted Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So
6:58
while they can't say for certain that a person who was touring a visitor left
7:03
it there, they're just kind of lobbing this out there, right, they
7:09
want to make sure that we know that, uh, you know, it's
7:13
a possibility. You get this plausible deniability thing, you get this post.
7:17
Is it possible at all that you know, someone could have left it there?
7:26
And maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, of course it's
7:29
possible. Pretty sure though, people that are touring the White House that they're
7:33
going through security checks. So I don't know how easily someone could sneak a
7:40
bag of cocaine into the White House unless you're you know, got pretty high
7:47
security clearance. Maybe maybe you're related to the president, maybe a close relationship
7:56
to the president. Maybe you know you're you're actually family, immediate family,
8:03
you know, share a lot of genetic markers. Maybe it's like your dad,
8:09
right, Maybe your mom is doctor of education Joe Biden. Maybe you're
8:18
like the first son. Maybe would that make it easier to get it in.
8:26
I don't know. I can't say. I don't know how it got
8:28
there. I do know this, if Trump were still in the White House
8:35
and they found a mysterious Big Mac box, probably would be his. He
8:43
has a history, a reputation, if you will. He's known to like
8:50
the big Max, right, he likes McDonald's a lot, even if it
8:54
was a quarter pounder rapper, crumbled up, thrown off to the side.
8:56
Maybe you know mcdubbell, if you just to mcdoubell wrapper off to the side.
9:01
Maybe one of those red French fry boxes. It's honestly been a while
9:07
since I've been to McDonald's. I'm assuming they still come in red boxes,
9:09
and I don't can tell you last time I had a Big Mac. I'm
9:13
guessing they also still come in a box, So and if they don't,
9:20
you know, I don't know. I don't know what they come in.
9:22
They either wrapped up or they come in then I know some of the other
9:26
sandwiches come wrapped up. That's all I can tell you. I used to
9:31
was I was a quarter pounder guy. When I would eat McDonald's. That's
9:35
what I would get. I like the box because you put the fries on
9:37
the other side, you know, that's what you do. Chances would be
9:43
high if they found evidence of a Big Max somewhere on the premises of the
9:48
White House. I would think it would be safe to assume that it was
9:56
Trump's, right, that would be my guest. You could just kind of
10:00
assume that it was Trump's. He's known to like Big Max, He's known
10:05
to eat Big Max, he loves McDonald's. Probably was his. Now,
10:11
I understand you can't say with certainty that it would have been his, but
10:16
you could kind of assume, couldn't You couldn't you just kind of maybe connect
10:20
those dots, if not anything, but just loosely, you could just say,
10:26
maybe maybe it was his. I understand, we don't know the origin
10:33
of this bag of drugs in the White House. They're going to investigate it.
10:39
They're going to continue to investigate it. I can tell you right now,
10:45
it doesn't matter who's responsible for it. Where you could just write down
10:52
right now that it will not be Hunter Biden. It will not be Okay,
10:58
just write that down. It will not be Hunter Biden, no matter
11:01
what we've seen in photos, no matter what he's joked in the past about
11:07
how he can he can find it. His superpower is that he can find
11:11
crack. Excuse all of that, exclude all of that from any of the
11:18
Just know that there is no way in hades this will be connected to him
11:24
at all. Now. I do know that, I think rightfully. So
11:28
again, people are going to be suspicious. They're gonna raise an eyebrow,
11:33
They're gonna think, hmm, this could be something. We have a son
11:39
of a president who's got a past, nothing to celebrate. There's nothing to
11:46
celebrate that he has this past. This is not a good thing, if
11:50
anything. Probably would be reasons to I don't know, maybe not involve him
11:58
in discussions with foreign dignitaries and leaders. I don't know. That might have
12:03
been a good idea, maybe maybe not. I don't know. I can't
12:07
tell you for certain that that's the best thing to do. But what I
12:09
can tell you is this will not be connected to him. There's no way
12:16
They'll never connect it to him. Never. And if you know, they
12:20
wanted to let him come out and publicly do a drug test, let a
12:24
lot of people push their suspicions aside, that's not gonna happen either. I
12:30
don't think he should be subjected to it. I don't think he should be
12:31
forced to do it. But if they really wanted to prove that he was
12:35
completely free and clear on this, there's a few things they can do.
12:41
But anyway, so, yeah, they found some cocaine in the White House.
12:48
Caused a panic because, hey, white substance in a bag. Never
12:50
know what it could be. Don't want anybody to assassinate a president with any
12:56
sort of white substance. Remember, we to have those scares all the time,
13:01
We had those things getting mailed around, and can't have that. So
13:05
they evacuated, they investigated, and yes, late Sunday, cocaine found in
13:13
the White House. But again the president, his wife, doctor of Education,
13:20
his son, all at Camp David. They were away. They didn't
13:24
find this at Camp David. They found it inside the White House. I'm
13:28
sure it's not the first time that there was any cocaine found in the White
13:33
House. Maybe I don't know what was it. We ever heard that they
13:37
found it in there. I don't know. I'm not I'm not aware of
13:41
their being I'm not one of those, uh, you know, history of
13:46
journalism people. But it would be interesting to know if they ever found cocaine
13:50
in the White House. Probably did at some point, they probably will again
13:54
someday in the future. I do wonder, you know, I've been talking
13:58
about this a little bit in the last I don't know, a couple of
14:03
weeks, how maybe month. We've had this push. This lean now going
14:11
in a certain direction as it pertains to discussions about drugs, because you remember,
14:18
there was a point where people said, oh, if if a cigarettes
14:22
are going to be illegal, then you know, marijuana should be legal.
14:26
They should be able to smoke marijuana, should be able to have it from
14:30
if for nothing else, for medicinal purposes. And some states said, yeah,
14:33
let's make it a medicinal And then people said, I haven't say I
14:39
need it for medicine. I'm gonna find a doctor who's gonna say that I
14:43
needed for medicine. We're gonna make jokes about it in movies and TV shows
14:46
about how easy it is, and we're gonna flaun it in real life.
14:50
And then states said had kids and sick people with cancer that needed medicinal marijuana.
14:56
Leaders went, you're just gonna abuse it. We're not going to do
14:58
this. We do this if everybody just laughs about how easy it is to
15:01
get there. And then many states said it will screw it, We're just
15:05
gonna make it legal. And then really, I don't know how much it's
15:09
actually enforced. I mean, you smell it everywhere. Now I smell it
15:13
everywhere, and people joked, oh, it just should be should be legal
15:16
anyway. I mean, it's not really hurting anybody. It's no big deal.
15:22
And then all of a sudden, now I've started to see jokes,
15:24
people making jokes. Cocaine. It's not that bad, it's not that big
15:28
of a deal. It's a people should be able to just let them,
15:33
let them do it, let them do it. It's not a big deal.
15:37
It's almost medicinal. So I wonder if this will help bring it into
15:41
the mainstream. I mean, it's in the White House, it's being used
15:43
in the White House. It's being a snorted in the White House. That's
15:50
what they're doing. They still do that thing where they lick there like the
15:54
tip of their pinkie, and then they touch it and then they tap it
15:56
on their tongue and they go, yep, cocaine. I wonder if that's
16:00
how they tested it. You think that's how the Secret Service they got it,
16:03
and they went, Oh, I've already breathed it in. Now.
16:06
If it's something toxic, I'm dead anyway. So let me look the end
16:11
of my finger and come on. Maybe it'll just be I don't know,
16:15
confection or sugar, right, yeah, nope, cocaine. How does everybody
16:21
in those movies know what cocaine tastes like? How do they all know because
16:25
everybody uses it? Right, yep, cocaine or just what I thought,
16:32
pure heroine. They all know what it tastes like. For me, I
16:37
would do it and are going it ain't confection or sugar. I ain't putting
16:42
it on my French toast. I can tell you that it's about as far
16:48
as I could go with it. So we'll find out, maybe get to
16:51
the bottom of this, or we'll never hear about what we're gonna hear about
16:55
it. It's gonna be it's gonna be talked about all the way up until
16:57
election day. But we're never going to get a definitive answer. Do you
17:02
think we will? Is there any chance in hades we're gonna find out who
17:06
is responsible? Unless somebody just falls on the sword, you know, somebody
17:11
in there. I've been working here fifty years cleaning up the place, and
17:17
I just accidentally dropped my bag of cocaine in there. I'm so sorry.
17:22
And then they're gonna fire him, and then they're gonna get in the President
17:26
will pardon him, and then he'll live a life of luxury on retirement,
17:32
never having done, never ever intending to ever actually own any cocaine. You
17:37
think that's a more likely scenario. Yep, heroin. They all know what
17:45
heroine tastes like. I mean, I'm supposed to show you what a grizzled
17:48
cop they are, isn't it. They just they've been around those all.
17:52
Oh my goodness, they're around those narcotics. They know. Hang on,
17:56
yep, this is a pure cocaine. I don't know. I don't know
18:03
how that works now. And also I guess I mean, I don't know
18:06
that we have any evidence of a hunter ever using cocaine. It's crack.
18:11
You smoke that, right, I don't know anything about it. I've just
18:15
heard when they talk about smoking the crack, and he would that's what he
18:19
was doing in the on the laptop, wasn't he Now understand, I want
18:25
to make everybody feel safe. The Secret Service handled it. They took care
18:27
of it, So don't don't feel unsafe just because I'm saying this. It's
18:32
we're all safe. Everyone is safe. Thank goodness, we're safe. But
18:36
they're gonna get to the bottom of it and maybe we'll find out. Today's

22:22
about this story? A pair of friends decided that they were going to fly
22:30
in an airplane and they wanted to their both pilots. They wanted to fly
22:37
in a small plane, and they wanted to visit all forty eight contiguous states
22:41
in less than forty eight hours. The two guys, Barry Binfield and Aaron
22:48
Wilson, came up with an idea to do the forty eight states in forty
22:53
eight hours trip. So they had Barry's Navy buddy, Thomas Twitty. That's
23:00
a good name for a Navy buddy to come along, and he was going
23:03
to serve as their in flight repair technician. The trio. Now see,
23:07
they tell to build a story as two guys, but as three, isn't
23:11
it You don't forget Twitty took off from Michigan on June fourth and plotted a
23:15
course at land the plane in every state. Each stop was about thirty minutes
23:19
long. They ended their flight in Maine, having touchdown in forty eight states
23:23
in just over forty four hours, and they are now seeking the Guinness World
23:29
Record recognition for the accomplishment. The men said that they also took the trip
23:33
to promote Bowling Green University School of Aviation, as well as raise money for
23:37
Veterans Airlift Command, which provides free private air transportation for injured veterans. How
23:45
about that so a couple of things. Yes, that's the way it works
23:48
with Guinness. A lot of people think, no, no, no,
23:51
Guinness is going to be standing there at the end of your accomplishment, you
23:53
know, with a stop watch or whatever and go, yep, you're in.
23:57
It's not how it works. Because I've done this, not with an
24:02
airplane, but I did once set and hold against world record. And the
24:07
way it works is they have a list of requirements that you have to do
24:11
that meet their qualifications. You have to have people of good standing in the
24:17
community that serve as judges or some sort of evaluation of what you're doing.
24:23
And then they at the end you submit any sort of evidence, any news
24:30
coverage or anything that's along the way, photos, whatever you can submit,
24:33
and then they'll send you whether or not they've accepted it or not. I
24:38
got a nice framed plaque, nice framed certificate that I set and held the
24:47
record, and it's been broken since I held it. I don't know,
24:52
maybe one day I'll do it again. But anyway, good for those guys.
24:55
And I think that's great the Bowling Green University School of Aviation as well
25:02
as that Veterans Airlift Command as far as being causes to benefit from what they
25:07
did, that's fantastic. All right, So how about this. There's a
25:14
and this is a thing. I remember, this was a thing that was
25:18
going on years ago when people were kind of trying to get their social media
25:22
accounts set up in radio stations and celebrities were doing this, and there were
25:26
some radio stations I want to name any names that were buying followers. They
25:33
weren't local followers, but they were trying to buy the numbers of followers and
25:37
say, look at all the followers I got, And that was It's the
25:41
thing. Some people would spend thousands of dollars on getting followers, and I
25:47
always thought that was cheap, right, that's not good. It's not local
25:52
trying to sell it like, hey, we're gonna touch all these people and
25:56
tell them about the our message and your message. And they weren't even cool.
26:00
But anyway, So there was an auction that recently took place, charity
26:04
auction where an anonymous Full House super fan. I would think we could figure
26:11
out who this person is based on this. I paid seven hundred and fifty
26:15
dollars at the auction for Jody Sweeten, who played DJ Tanner, not just
26:19
on full House but on Fuller House, to follow them on Instagram for a
26:25
full year. Okay, there's no guarantees that she'll like any of their posts
26:30
or that they'll get any direct messages. And if the actress decides that she
26:36
needs to unfollow them for some reason, maybe they make her not feel safe
26:40
being one of their followers, then she's allowed to unfollow them if she wants
26:44
early. So there's that. Yeah, all right, So there's this is
26:51
apparently a thing. They call it one of summer's most annoying illnesses, a
26:56
flu like virus that you get by constantly going from outdoors in the heat to
27:00
freezing air conditioning. A two thousand and four study found that being in air
27:04
conditioning can cause health problems, especially if the units aren't well maintained. Symptoms
27:10
include headaches, drycoff's dizziness, nausea, trouble concentrating, fatigue, sensitivity to
27:15
odor, and summertime sneeze that you get. Diarrhea not on the list,
27:21
So nobody should go out and buy all the toilet paper. Don't do it.
27:25
Let's not slip back into that. If you're paranoid about this, let's
27:30
all just keep it under control. We need to just breathe easily. And
27:34
finally, a group of engineers is teaching robots to pick raspberries, I'd like
27:38
to say it that way, by using fake raspberries. The EPFL Computational Robot
27:45
Design and Fabrication Lab of Switzerland have made a silicone version of raspberries, I'll
27:52
say it that way for you that mimics the real thing and contain sensors to
27:57
tell the robot hands if they're put too much pressure on it. Raspberry is
28:00
traditionally hard to pick because they're soft and dewey and they get easily damaged.
28:04
If you've ever picked one or held a really ripe one, you know what
28:08
I'm talking about, and they can get damaged. So they get the sensors
28:14
to tell them if they would damage. Then once the robot hands master the
28:15
right amount of pressure to pick the fruit, the lab plans on building a
28:19
full robot to test their work in an actual field, taking away more jobs.
