Another Win for Trump Makes His Haters Angry Again · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show,
0:08
Tuesday morning, twenty sixth day of March. I'm Wes. Thanks for starting
0:16
your day with me. It's kind of a new day, but it seems
0:21
to be the same old story as we're starting to see I guess the real
0:27
pattern developing here, and it's an opportunity for all of us to get to
0:33
see it play out yet again in November and then again I guess in January.
0:40
As yesterday, the latest in the former President Donald Trump saga continues on.
0:50
Let's think back to that trip down the escalator when he announced he was
0:55
going to run for president. A lot of people thought it was a joke.
0:59
I thought it was a joke. I remember on the radio joking about
1:03
it, saying he had no chance. It was to me, it was
1:08
silly. The whole notion, the whole idea of him running for president was
1:15
hilarious to me. I was one of those people. I admit it.
1:19
I'm not the only one. I'm not the only conservative. There were a
1:25
lot of folks on the left that found it hilarious. But those same people,
1:30
some of those same people on the left who found it hilarious, decided
1:34
that it would be to their advantage to help the man get nominated. They
1:42
looked at the whole and this is one of those things that I find interesting
1:49
and it's frustrating and interesting at the same time. And maybe I just need
1:53
to put a pin in this and come back to it now. I'm going
1:56
to quickly say it because of what's going on with the speaker of that and
2:00
we're seeing yet again another fracture in the House Representatives as we now have Marjorie
2:06
Taylor Green who is pushed forward trying to have Mike Johnson austed. And it's
2:14
that old thing that pops up all the time. Republicans have a and it's
2:21
part of the brilliance and part of I think, what's good about it.
2:24
But they have this wide ranging freedom of thought within the party. You have
2:31
people that and it can be great and frustrating at the same time. It's
2:36
very much like the Second Amendment or the first any of the bill rights in
2:42
a lot of ways. It's one of those things where you look at it
2:44
and you say, like a freedom of expression. For it to mean anything,
2:51
you've got to stand up for people's rights to say things that you disagree
2:53
with and things that you hate, right, you have to be able to
2:57
do that, otherwise it means nothing. So I think what's great about the
3:01
way Republicans have this wide ranging freedom of thought within the party is you do
3:07
get these different opinions, and you get different people, and they actually have
3:09
to work together to try to come up with some sort of way forward with
3:16
whatever it is. It's been laughable what we've been going through with this House
3:22
of Representatives and having a Speaker of the House. I like Mike Johnson.
3:29
I'm gonna be honest with you. I do. I understand why there may
3:31
be some frustrations. I thought McCarthy had a lot of challenges ahead of him
3:38
when he was voted in. I understand why some think differently. I understand
3:45
why some may be think differently now. But we're at a point now where
3:50
the numbers and the majority are going to change. With people stepping down,
3:53
things are going to change. It's going to be different. But anyway,
3:55
Democrats on the other side, they do everything and lockstep for the most part.
4:00
We saw a little bit of a break with that when it came to
4:02
Israel and Hamas and Gaza. We saw just a little bit with the Palestinians,
4:06
we saw a little bit of a break in that, but overall they
4:12
seem to kind of have worked that out or whatever they're doing. But they
4:16
stick together. They have a path forward, a path for how they want
4:20
to handle things, and they stay in lockstep. Baby, they are a
4:26
machine. Frustrating because you see them do that, and you look at the
4:30
Republicans and you go, why can't you just get it together? But then
4:34
you look at sort of the mindless robots, you look at the cult that
4:40
is for a lot of and not everybody, and average voters I don't necessarily
4:46
think this is true. Of there's some and they're going to vote on the
4:49
left no matter what they're going to vote however they're told to vote some people.
4:54
I'm not going to say that everybody is that way. But when it
4:57
comes to actual elected officials, they understand. They don't want to get primaried
5:03
out. They want the position they have, They want to hang onto that
5:06
power for dear life. Do what you're supposed to do. Republicans, it's
5:11
a little different. With that said, back to my original point, going
5:15
back to the twenty sixteen election, Republicans had a deep bench, a deep
5:20
bench of candidates. They had a deep bench this go round. Really it
5:26
was shaping up for it, and then people realized, maybe I don't want
5:29
to get involved in this wasn't as deep as it was eight years ago.
5:34
That was different. It was a solid bench man. They had a lot
5:41
of options and possibilities, much like there's a lot of options and possibilities now
5:46
as the possibility for who's going to be vice president is there Democrats, on
5:51
the other hand, that's not really how they do things, is it right?
5:56
They had, you know, eight years ago they said this is going
6:00
to be our options, but we all knew it was going to be Hillary.
6:02
They did everything they could to make sure that Hillary got all the necessary
6:06
votes all the for the primaries. They made sure she was going to be
6:13
the candidate, even though it was probably supposed to be Bernie Sanders. I'm
6:17
relieved it was Hillary because of the way things played out so perfectly. But
6:24
Hillary was probably supposed to be it eight years before that when it went to
6:28
Barack Obama. But again, not a lot of depth, not a lot
6:30
to choose from. When they said we're going to pick, well, we
6:35
get to the Joe Biden presidency and it looked like, Wow, they've got
6:39
some actual faces. They're going to stick up here, people that they're going
6:42
to say, provide them with a deep bench, and not so much.
6:46
First one out was Kamala Harris, and then the rest just dropped like flies.
6:50
It became very apparent they wanted Joe Biden. They felt like he was
6:54
the only one who could beat Donald Trump. The election happened, COVID happened,
7:00
the election happened, and Joe Biden the president, and in the period
7:06
where he said, I'm going to select my running mate, I'm going to
7:09
select a black female running mate. That's what I'm going to do. And
7:13
then they looked at all the possible black female running mates and they settled on
7:16
Kamala Harris because that was really the only one. It was their only option.
7:21
There's not a lot of depth there. There's just really not They're not
7:26
working the farm system the way I think Republicans do my opinion. All right,
7:33
so Trump comes down the escalator and it was a joke. Oh my
7:39
gosh, there's no way this guy's who does he think he is? He
7:42
was on Oprah one time a long time ago, talked about whether or not
7:46
he could do this whether or not he would win. Said he would only
7:48
do it if he thought he could win, and folks on the left saw
7:57
this as an opportunity. Let's help him get nominated because it'll be an easy
8:01
win for Hillary. There's no way people would pick Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
8:05
We got this audio of him with Billy Bush saying crude stuff. We
8:11
know everything we need to know about him. We got this, it's in
8:13
the bag. We just have to help him get nominated. We're gonna make
8:16
sure it happens, and then we all remember how election Night went. If
8:24
you haven't watched those videos from Election Night of the various CNN and MSNBC journalists
8:31
just freaking out, ABC, NBC, all of them, just CBS freaking
8:37
out, losing their minds. If you haven't visited in a while, you've
8:41
probably seen it. If you haven't seen it, you should find it easily
8:46
on the on the Google search. I would use the duck Duck go if
8:50
the name wasn't so stupid. I don't understand that, but anyway, I
8:54
know some people do, and you may use it, that's fine. I
8:56
just think the name's dumb, and I am an Android user and I do
9:01
like the fact that I'm able to device to device, able to keep up
9:05
with my searches. I know it has an effect on ads. I get
9:07
weird ads for things when I talk about it. That's just the way it
9:11
works. I've accepted that I do still get freaked out from time to time,
9:15
but for the moment, I think I'm okay with it, just for
9:16
the moment. Anyway, look it up. It's an easy search whatever device
9:22
you use to search, and you can find the video of that. It
9:28
was a great night from that perspective, because Trump won and no one thought
9:33
there was any way it could happen. They helped him get into a position
9:39
that would allow him to win, and in some ways, I feel like
9:43
that's part of why they now feel like they have to do everything they can
9:46
to make sure he does not get in that position again, because they know
9:50
it could happen again, and that they kind of maybe you're justifying trying to
9:56
shut him down through all the courts by feeling like, well, if we
10:00
and helped him, then he would have never been president. We helped him,
10:03
so now it's okay if we're doing these shady behind the scenes deals to
10:07
try to, you know, get rid of him, pretending that that's not
10:11
what we're doing, even though all of these people that are behind the indictments
10:16
all have publicly ran on we're gonna get Trump, We're gonna keep him from
10:20
being able to run. I do, and I mentioned this. I have
10:22
friends some that understand that that vote on the left, that understand the dangers
10:28
of this. I've got some that don't. They see this as he's horrible,
10:33
we cannot let him be president again. They just hate him that much.
10:39
They just hate him that much. You probably have people that you know
10:45
that watch sports and they watch a game, right their team plays against maybe
10:52
the team's arch rival, all right, you know, maybe it is Georgia,
10:56
Auburn, Alabama, Auburn, whatever. They're watching the teams play in
11:01
the big rivalry game, and an injury happens, and then there's one of
11:09
two ways that you handle this. When the star player on the opposing team,
11:13
your arch nemesis, gets injured. There's two ways really to react to
11:18
it this. There's the one side where people say, oh, poor kid
11:22
man, he's just a college kid. I hate that he's hurt and that
11:24
it's terrible. And then there's the people who say Ahaha, good get rid
11:31
of him. Hope he doesn't play again this season, right, And then
11:37
that's kind of what we're looking at in this election. You got people going,
11:39
I know it's probably not right, but I hate him that much.
11:43
I hate Trump that much, I hate that team that much. I feel
11:46
justified in being happy that a player got injured. I remember someone coming to
11:52
me during the as as a long time Alabama fan. I have family that
11:58
lived in near Tuscaloosa many generations back. It's a long standing thing with our
12:03
family. And I remember when when Tua got hurt when he was quarterback at
12:07
Alabama during that season, and someone came to me and they were like,
12:11
a how about that? And I said, how can is a kid?
12:16
How can you be happy? I don't I don't understand. I mean,
12:18
I get you don't want to have to play him or whatever your team is,
12:24
but no, I'm not going to be happy. I mean, maybe
12:28
there's a little relief there that you go, I don't have to thankfully,
12:31
we don't have to do that. But I'm not going to be happy.
12:35
And I think you got people now with this this White House run that they
12:41
just they hate him so much they'll do anything they can. They're not just
12:46
happy to see the injury. They're going, UH to send your players in
12:50
there and hurt him, you know, go in there and hurt him,
12:54
hit him, hit him in the knee, raw raw rass, hit him
12:58
in the other neee. That's what they're doing. They're cheering that on.
13:01
That's what they're going for. The old putting the bounty on players. Remember
13:09
that, how about them Saints. So anyway, now, yesterday the former
13:18
president was supposed to come up with this money, this four hundred and fifty
13:22
four million dollars or whatever I think I said, four fifty two or something.
13:24
I undersold it one day last week, but four fifty four for this
13:28
bond, just so he can appeal his case. Well, yesterday, under
13:35
threat of the prosecutor Sam, we're going to start seizing his assets. And
13:41
yesterday was the day. The deadline pushed back ten days and the four fifty
13:46
four has been dropped down to one seventy five. And today truth social will
13:52
hit the UH become available to purchase to the public. Trump will hold on
14:01
to fifty eight percent of the shares and the other forty two I guess will
14:05
be available and we'll see how that goes over the course of the day.
14:11
They say that overall this could be like a three billion dollar deal for Trump.
14:15
He can't without a certain permissions, granted, use that three billion towards
14:22
this one seventy five. But he says he's got the one seventy five or
14:26
that he'll come up with it. But they're still going to fight at They're
14:28
trying to hang onto that as much as they can, which they should.
14:33
Yesterday people lost their minds. It wasn't quite the meltdown that happened when Hillary
14:39
lost, but this was a pretty pretty significant meltdown by alog and not just
14:46
folks on the left. Some of the folks that the rhinos on the right
14:50
that don't like Trump were just, oh, this guy, man, everything
14:56
goes his way. Everything, we can't just get rid of him. Every
15:00
thing goes his way. This is somehow helped him out, and they're losing
15:05
their minds about it. They can't stand it. They don't want him to
15:09
be in any sort of a position where it might break his way. They're
15:13
calling him teflon Dawn again. I saw a few headlines that referenced his nine
15:18
lives. So let's keep it going, man, let's keep it going.
15:22
Let's keep this momentum going of now to be clear, to go back to
15:28
the escalator. Obviously things have changed a lot for me. For Trump twenty
15:33
one, I thought, well, is he going to deliver? And then
15:37
he started delivering all the things he said he was going to do. I
15:39
thought he's going to slip back into his old Really he's a lefty guy.
15:43
Ways he did not. I saw the overall average income in my family after
15:50
taxes increase, a lot of benefits that went our way because of his presidency.
15:58
And now since Biden's been in there, it's been a joke. It's
16:03
been a joke. I know a few people who say, well, overall,
16:06
we've got more money coming in, and it's like, you don't.
16:07
Overall. You may have more money than you did before based on however you're
16:11
filing your taxes, but you can't tell me that you're not spending more money
16:15
on everything. And it all comes back to issues with fuel and greenhouse and
16:22
I mean a green new deal. Issues. Inflation is carried out a lot
16:26
of things that have carried over from COVID over the let's tank everything during COVID
16:32
for the purposes of getting rid of Trump. Can't tell me that you're doing
16:37
better than you were. You cannot convince me you're doing better than you were
16:40
four years ago. You're not. You're not going to convince me now,
16:42
maybe four years ago exactly now, because we were really in the throes of
16:47
everything with everything shut down with COVID. I understand that that's a little different.
16:52
Go back four and a half years ago. You're not going to convince
16:55
me you're doing better right now financially than you were four and a half years
16:59
ago. That's not the case. Don't believe it. Don't believe it at
17:02
all. So we can keep this momentum going with the case after case opportunities
17:10
to see people just squirm and angry and mad, frustrated. See how things
17:15
go for this next I guess nine days as he gets ready to pay the
17:18
one to seventy five in whatever capacity, or maybe he finds a way to.
17:25
They say they're trying to appeal any sort of a bond payment with it.
17:29
I don't know if that's going to work, but we'll see. But
17:32
today's stands to be a big day for Trump with truth social and we'll see
17:36
how that goes and how angry that makes them. Today show brought to you
17:38
by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth
17:45
and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
17:52
mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca
17:56
Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through the university programs where
18:00
you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
18:07
STEM fields are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting
18:12
your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
18:21
out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
18:26
with the schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
18:30
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
18:36
of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
18:40
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
18:42
major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca
18:49
Cola Space Science Center. And the new season of Music under the dome.
18:55
Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next
19:00
Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
19:03
at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city
19:08
lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as
19:11
well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org.
19:18
As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you
19:23
that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show
19:30
brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
19:33
door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time
19:41
for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move
19:45
and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care
19:51
of squaring that away for you, and while they're there, you can always
19:55
ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
19:57
your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to
20:03
be, and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe
20:06
you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when
20:11
your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that
20:15
you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
20:19
it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
20:23
screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and you can
20:27
use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
20:33
if you like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you
20:36
just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door
20:38
up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:42
as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than
20:47
that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't
20:51
open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as well.
20:56
Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred, seven oh six three five
20:59
eight forty five hundred Odccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show right after the
21:04
break, employers have been trying to figure out ways to get workers to come
21:17
back into the office with a number of different perks. We all knew this
21:22
was going to be a challenge, and now more and more of them are
21:25
trying to figure out ways to do it. But there's one in particular,
21:29
they say maybe the thing that can do the trick. A survey by bonding
21:33
an insurance company JW shirty Bonds revealed that forty seven percent of respondents said that
21:40
they would be willing to go back to the office in exchange for housing benefits.
21:44
Sixty nine percent said they would be willing to change their job or career
21:48
for housing benefits. Help with housing costs is so attractive to employees that forty
21:56
three percent said that they would take less vacation time and change for it,
22:00
and thirty percent said they'd rather have housing assistance than a raise. Some incentive
22:06
for employers to offer housing assistance for their employees to survey found seventy seven percent
22:11
set of those receiving employer based housing benefits reported high job satisfaction. I can
22:18
see that I know that time off is important for a number of different reasons,
22:22
but I think also from an employer standpoint, you're having them maybe less
22:29
time off and then a little bit more of an assurance may be of them
22:33
at least sticking around and not going to another city. If you're helping them
22:37
out with housing, if it became some more of a permanent sort of how
22:41
if it enabled them to get a permanent housing situation, I would think,
22:45
But anyway, A new study from Indiana University School of Medicine found that loneliness
22:49
is worse for older people than alcoholism, obesity, and smoking. Fifty three
22:56
percent of older adults visiting their doctor report feeling lonely, which has a big
23:00
impact on both physical and mental health. The research is important because it identifies
23:07
and suggests evidence for interventions that are necessary for older adults in primary care who
23:12
experience loneliness. According to doctor Nicole Fowler, primary care clinicians should discuss loneliness
23:19
with their older adult patients and provide resources to help them create meaningful social relationships.
23:26
Well remember the old Facebook poke button, Well apparently it's back. It
23:33
seems that some gen Zers are big fans of the poke button. And apparently
23:37
the poke button never actually left. It was just hidden to the point that
23:41
if you didn't know about it, you would never find it. Well.
23:45
Meta has made some tweaks recently to make the poke button more visible, and
23:49
now it appears next to any name that you are searching for on Facebook.
23:55
Since doing that, usage has increased by thirteen hundred Percenting to Meta, fifty
24:00
percent of pokes were from those under thirty who had never used the feature.
24:04
Before the old pop button, you know, it was a thing, and
24:11
you'd get that random thing from somebody, and sometimes it was a little bit
24:15
creepy and you just thought, wow, what are you? What are we
24:18
doing here? Why are you poking me? I can think of at least
24:22
one particular person it was really creepy when they did that. It's nice when
24:27
bars and restaurants offer non alcoholic mocktails for younger guests, but occasionally there can
24:33
be a mix up, which is why parents should probably take a sip before
24:37
letting their kid enjoy that colorful non alcoholic beverage. A twelve year old boy
24:45
in Michigan was recently served a real strawberry dacker instead of a virgin one at
24:49
an outback steakhouse. The kid took a few big gulps of the drink thought
24:53
it tasted weird. He said, he started to feel funny and his head
24:59
started to hurt. His parents figured out maybe what was going on and realized
25:03
that he had been served a real dackery and then confirmed it with the bartender.
25:10
The restaurant apologized and comped their bill. The boy went to the hospital
25:14
as a precaution and was given taylan All. His parents say he was definitely
25:18
hung over the next day. Meanwhile, Outback says they have taken the appropriate
25:22
disciplinary action and all bar staff have been retrained make sure that doesn't ever happen
25:30
again. And finally, a pair of Florida women hit the road an attempt
25:33
to set a new Guinness World record. Cassie Aaron and her friend Lauren charged
25:40
up batteries on a couple of ride on toy cars and are in the process
25:45
of driving them from Jacksonville all the way to key West, about five hundred
25:49
miles with an average speed of about five miles an hour. They expect to
25:53
drive to take about two months, and they are documenting their record attempt on
25:57
social media and using it to raise money for a variety of animal charities.
26:03
How about that all about the Guinness Record? Good job? Go do it,
26:07
make it happen five hundred miles at about five miles an hour, and
26:11
I suppose lots of battery charge ups. That'll do it. For this Tuesday
