Biden is Apparently Really Mad · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day,
0:06
and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Tuesday morning, nineteenth
0:11
day of March. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. We got through
0:16
the Oscars, and I told you that you know able to pick all the
0:19
winners after having only watched I guess three of the movies that were in the
0:25
contention to win major awards. Three that's all I'd watched. I've now watched
0:31
a fourth one because I wanted to. And I do this thing. I've
0:37
been doing this for years where I try to at least watch the Best Picture
0:41
winner every year. I've seen all but about like nine or ten of them
0:48
in total for over the years, and each year I at least try to
0:52
stay caught up with the new ones. And I had already watched Oppenheimer before
0:58
it won, anticipating it's when felt like that's what was going to happen.
1:03
And I watched it and I thought, well, it'll deserve whatever it gets.
1:07
And I had seen a couple of the others that were in contention.
1:11
But I typically when I make my list each year of movies that I feel
1:19
like are contenders or nominees and I decide which ones I want to watch.
1:23
I don't want to watch them all. That's not I don't There was a
1:26
year there was a movie really about a pedophile, you know, call me
1:33
by my name or whatever, I mean, that was about an adult man
1:34
hooking up with a teenager who was underage. That's not my thing. I
1:38
don't want to watch that. I don't know why it was being honored and
1:41
nominated and praise and all those sorts of things. Had it won Best Picture,
1:46
that would have been it. I would have said, well, that'll
1:48
be the one I'll never watch because I just that's not a movie that I
1:52
have any interest in. And I'm really concerned that people did have an interest
1:56
in it or watched it. I don't understand why anyone would say, yeah,
2:00
let's watch a movie about an adult man and a child. And now
2:04
I realize seventeen is close to the adult threshold, and that's what people would
2:10
say. But that's not the argument that we make in society. Nobody's making
2:15
that case in society anyway. So I typically will make a list of the
2:22
other movies that are nominated for Best Picture that I would also like to see,
2:27
even if they don't win. Some years there's not anymore. It's just
2:30
the one movie and that's it. But other years, you know, there's
2:34
some that are in there that I think, well, that looks interesting,
2:36
I'd like to watch it. And that was the case with a couple of
2:39
other movies. And there was still one that I had not seen that I
2:43
thought i'd like to watch, and I'd already watch. I watched The Holdovers
2:47
close to Christmas. It's a Christmas movie in that spirit, so I thought,
2:52
well, I'll watch that and I liked it, and I liked I
2:54
like that a lot. Don't know that it was really Oscar caliber movie,
2:59
but the actress in it won for a Best Supporting Actress. I did want
3:06
to watch Poor Things, Emma Stone's Oscar This year for Best Actress was for
3:13
that movie, and I wanted to watch it. I thought, well,
3:15
I'm curious. I I don't really know a whole lot about it, didn't
3:19
fully know what it was about a general idea. I knew it was about
3:23
a man who had a doctor Frankenstein esque sort of laboratory and that he had
3:30
done some experiments with animals, and that he basically took and I mean this
3:35
is in the plot synopsis, so I'm not giving anything away. But took
3:38
the brain of an unborn baby from the mother who died and put it in
3:46
her body and then reanimated the woman. So it's a woman, an adult
3:51
woman, with her child's brain in there, and then she's living life and
3:54
kind of stumbling through life and discovering herself and all these various things. So
4:00
I knew that That's all I really knew. So I watched it, and
4:02
I'll just say this because I gave my critique of the movie, Barbie,
4:09
when I watched it, and I told you then that I appreciated it for
4:14
what it was trying to be, and I compared it to the Lego movie.
4:17
If you remember. I felt to me, like when I watched the
4:20
Lego movie with my children, there's a message that's in that movie that the
4:26
people who made the movie, the writers, all of the production that went
4:30
into making the movie was able to tell you that story and have that lesson
4:36
that was within it. And they could use symbolism and nuance and tell you
4:42
the story and you could walk away from it enjoying it. They didn't have
4:45
to flash the message across the screen in all capital letters, over and over
4:50
and over again. And then I thought Barbie did that. So I thought
4:54
a movie that was specifically made for children in the Lego movie and then their
4:59
adult parents would want to watch with them, was able to tactfully tell this
5:04
story and put the morals within it. And then a movie like Barbie made
5:12
for adults that they knew kids would also watch, they just kind of took
5:16
for granted that women weren't going to understand it, and then they beat you
5:19
over the head with the story without any nuance or symbolism. That's how I
5:24
felt, and I thought I would be a little insulted. Enter poor things.
5:30
It was basically the Barbie movie, except it had symbolism, metaphor nuance,
5:39
all those things. I mean, it was very much of very similar
5:42
stories about a woman finding herself, a lot more graphic, a lot less
5:46
pink. I think there was almost no pink. But again, if that
5:54
story is one that you need, and they only said the word patriarchy once
5:57
in the whole movie, So if that's the message that you want, you're
6:00
not gonna want to watch it with your kids. I can tell you that
6:02
that's fact. But a better, deeper version of that story and that's that
6:13
a lot of graphic stuff in it. You don't want to watch it with
6:15
your kids, just a heads up, but overall a much better movie.
6:20
So now I understand a little bit more about why when people said, oh,
6:24
Barbie got robbed, No, there was just a better version of that
6:27
movie. There was a much better version of a very very similar story,
6:32
a very similar purpose for a movie. All right, let's jump into the
6:41
election stuff. I talked yesterday about this bloodbath thing. I saw a few
6:45
places where people were sharing all of the mainstream media that was attacking the former
6:51
president for using the word blood bath and all the times that they've used the
6:56
word bloodbath in the past four or five years. Fascinating. That was great,
7:01
well done. Whoever put that together, That was very good. All
7:05
of those outlets, every single one of the people who was being critical all
7:11
right there. And it's interesting that we went through this period of people mocking
7:16
everybody who fell for that whole bloodbath fiasco, the hoax, and then after
7:21
it was kind of all done and settled, Hillary Clinton jumps on X and
7:26
starts tweeting about it and saying that something about the word bloodbath, and it's
7:31
like you missed it. You missed your chance to do it without sounding like
7:35
a complete idiot. Now you sound like a complete idiot for even talking about
7:39
it. But this kind of comes as we are now learning a little bit
7:44
more about and this is coming from NBC News over the weekend. They reported
7:50
that as recently as a January, big meetings in the White House, big
7:59
meetings with the president's current president's team that is trying to get him reelected,
8:07
and apparently he's angry. He's been angry since January. He's been angry for
8:11
two months, and he does not think things are going well. And a
8:16
lot of words like seething and shouting and swearing have been said about how he
8:24
was behaving. And basically, I guess this comes down to a question of
8:28
does he still have trust in his team? Does he think that he and
8:33
the current team he has that's part of his reelection campaign are capable of pulling
8:41
off what they did four years ago, And it certainly doesn't seem to be
8:48
a lot of confidence there. This is from the NBC News story. Surrounded
8:54
by protective aides who want to minimize the chances of a flub, the eighty
8:58
one year old president has chafed at restraints that he sees as counter to his
9:05
natural instincts as a retail politician. A third person familiar with internal discussion said
9:13
he has felt cocooned at times and has been eager to get out more,
9:16
meet voters face to face and take the fight directly to Trump. This according
9:22
to that third person, and then a fourth who also was familiar with the
9:26
matter, who like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy
9:31
and the president's private views. So here's what this comes down to. This
9:37
is just my take on this, and I understand he's upset the polling's not
9:39
going well. Whether the polling means anything, we don't know. What we
9:45
do know is when the vice president goes to an abortion clinic and visits and
9:50
they go, oh, it's the first time a vice president's done this.
9:52
They visit an abortion clinic and it's a woman and she's for women's rights.
9:58
They use that as a way to get more campaign funds, and they successfully
10:03
did that. They also use this bloodbath thing for about eighteen hours to get
10:07
some donations and start to really stockpiling more money. But here's the thing.
10:15
The reason that Biden is still the candidate in spite of the fact that there's
10:20
a lot of people who question his ability to lead, a lot of people
10:22
who say country is not going in the right direction. He has cognition problems,
10:28
he has energy problems, he has staying on his two feet problems.
10:33
He's got a lot of things that people it calls them to not have a
10:37
lot of confidence in him. That's just the reality they have badly. The
10:43
whole Democrat machine, including many of the media outlets that were throwing the word
10:48
bloodbath around. They wanted Trump gone. They wanted to go through the courts
10:56
to get him out of contention. It has worked, it doesn't look like
11:01
it's going to work. So they're now in a position where they realize they
11:07
couldn't push him aside Trump. Therefore they can't push Biden aside. There is
11:13
a belief on the left that the only person who can beat Donald Trump is
11:18
Joe Biden, because he's already done it, and they believe that's the only
11:24
way possible. And they think that if they could have gotten rid of Trump,
11:28
they could have gotten rid of Biden and gone with a fresh, younger
11:31
candidate with an opportunity maybe to get eight years, but they do like the
11:37
incumbent president thing. That is usually something that works well for you. It
11:41
did not work for Trump. It also doesn't typically work when the polling is
11:46
turning is bad. The approval rating is as bad as it is. The
11:50
country does not feel that the things are going in the right direction. They're
11:54
frustrated financially, they're frustrated with the border there, frustrate with a lot of
12:01
things. And now as numbers are coming in concerning Georgia, as numbers are
12:07
coming in concerning Michigan, and it's specifically citing the handling of Israel and Hamas
12:16
as reasons for some of the more recent numbers changing. And these two states
12:22
are pretty important. They're extremely important. I don't want to undersell it.
12:26
They're extremely important. I mean, the presidency could go through Georgia and Michigan.
12:31
That's a reality that I think the campaigns are starting to really exam And
12:37
then you've got states like Michigan where it's within I mean, right now,
12:41
I think Trump has a two point lead, and that's within the margin of
12:46
error for the polling. But that's not voting well. That's another very significant
12:52
it could be a very significant pickup for Trump this time around, so they
12:56
believe Biden's the only person who can beat Trump. So they wanted Trump gone
13:01
because then they could maybe move on to someone else. And you know,
13:05
they think Trump is the worst, absolute, worst person ever. They tried
13:09
to use the blood bath thing to link him to Hitler. Again, it's
13:13
a Mussolini and Hitler. They tried to throw that around as if there's any
13:18
connection between talking about the auto industry and how things would be terrible if he's
13:24
not president, would connect him to Hitler. But anyway, that's what they
13:30
believe. Biden's the only one, He's the only one capable of it.
13:35
So the default would be to run this campaign the same way that they ran
13:41
it last time, because that's what worked before. Think about it like I
13:46
use a sports analogy and think about it like this. If your sports team
13:50
is playing the other sports team, and your sports team used a very specific
13:54
strategy to beat the other sports team, the next time you play that team,
14:00
sem you probably want to try to incorporate the same strategy. Assuming that
14:03
everything's the same. You get the same quarterbacks or the same strikers or whatever
14:09
the sport is, so you try to incorporate the same strategy, and I
14:13
think the people that work for him want to run the same strategy. You're
14:16
gonna lay low again, You're going to hide. We're not going to let
14:20
you go out in public. We're not going to let people see they it's
14:22
worse now, like more people now think of him as being riddled with cognition
14:28
problems. More people now than ever think that he has memory, he has
14:33
speech, he has staying upright, balance issues. They see all of these
14:41
things, and the more he's out in public, the more they're going to
14:43
see them. So yes, the people that are working for him for this
14:48
campaign are absolutely reeling him in now. The problem here is why isn't he
14:54
in charge of the campaign. Isn't he in charge of the party. Isn't
15:00
he in charge with a white House? So who's there that's able to tell
15:03
him no, no, no, no no. The word he used was
15:07
cocooned. Why should he feel cocooned? Why should he feel that way?
15:13
And was he not feeling cocooned four years ago? Was there some message of
15:18
just trust us, just do what we say, everything will be fine.
15:24
We've got these mail in ballots, we got these drop boxes, just trust
15:28
us, we got this, and now the polling is showing it's not going
15:35
well and he's angry, shouting, swearing. He's probably not even able to
15:43
enjoy murder. She wrote. When he's watching, I don't know where things
15:48
are for him, but I know he's frustrated and he probably should be.
15:54
And my question, I guess still is why isn't he running the campaign?
15:58
Why isn't he in charge? Why can't he make these decisions? And it's
16:03
that reminder. Part of why they hate Trump so much is because he didn't
16:07
let people just push him around. He was the president, he was in
16:10
charge, he runs his campaign, he was running the country. It's not
16:17
really what we got now doesn't feel that way. And when our current president
16:22
sits down and says I better not say anything, they're gonna get mad at
16:26
me if I talk. Who's they shouldn't we know who they are? I'd
16:30
like the list of the names of the veys that he's got problems with getting
16:36
shouted down. If he says something, it's probably still the person in the
16:40
easter bunny suit that was embarrassing. And once you know there's a person in
16:45
the easter bunny suit somewhere nearby, ready to shut you down, probably will
16:49
fill cocoon. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space
16:55
Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth in future STEM leaders and STEM career
17:03
holders that really of all ages. I mean they do it for school age
17:07
kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they
17:11
also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy,
17:17
physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now,
17:22
and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
17:30
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
17:36
They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of Music from
17:41
Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that
17:47
you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
17:49
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
17:53
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
18:00
in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new
18:06
season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
18:11
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can
18:15
get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes
18:19
you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:23
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their
18:27
website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says, Charlie Charlie SamSam
18:33
Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space
18:38
Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company
18:45
of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
18:51
Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
18:56
maintenance on anything that has parts that move and how electronics. The folks at
19:02
Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you,
19:06
and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the
19:08
maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb
19:14
appeal isn't quite what you want it to be, and you need some repair
19:18
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door
19:21
completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes.
19:26
Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or warmer
19:30
weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at
19:34
a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system
19:40
that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a sort
19:44
of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work on your
19:47
own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
19:51
like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the insects
19:53
in. They can do that for you as well, and again they do
19:56
after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:00
inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come
20:06
help, And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty
20:10
five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred o dccolumbus dot com
20:17
more West Carol Morning Show right after the break. So why don't we exercise?
20:29
For some it's really about physical gain, and some say it's because it's
20:36
something that they should do. A poll conducted by A six is that the
20:41
shoot people. Seventy five percent of adults said that they don't enjoy exercising and
20:47
feel like it's a chore, and they listed those reasons for why they do
20:51
it. Findings are different with children. Seventy seven percent of kids say that
20:56
they exercise because it is fun. I think you get to a point where
21:00
you get to an age where you think, I gotta do this, and
21:04
it doesn't surprise me that that's on the list. And I know some people
21:08
are doing it for gain. Some people are trying to do it just to
21:12
live longer, and I think that falls into the category of because they feel
21:15
like it's something that they're supposed to do. Ants in the kitchen never a
21:22
fun thing, but some sustainability advocates say we need more ants in the kitchen
21:27
on your plates researchers claiming that ants have very distinct flavor profiles that would enhance
21:37
dishes, and they're tasty and nutritious and sustainable. No thanks, I just
21:45
know couldn't get used to that. Not ants. I don't really want to
21:49
eat any insects, to be honest, And I know that there's a certain
21:52
amount that pop up in certain things just because you can't help it. But
21:56
I'm not down for you know. I mean, I've done the occasional.
22:00
Like I remember when I was well, Jill worked for a long time.
22:06
My bride worked at an environmental learning center and I worked there for about a
22:11
year, and they would do an event that was different festivals and things,
22:15
and in some cases they would break out cookies that had crickets in them and
22:21
you'd eat them just for the novelty. But just whipping up a batch of
22:25
ant soup doesn't sound good to me at all. Hey, A museum in
22:29
Saint Louis gathered a crowd of people wearing underwear on their heads in an attempt
22:33
to set a Guinness World record. As you know, I myself a former
22:38
Guinness World Record holder. Usually whenever we get these world record things, I
22:45
go, all right, let's check this out. I want to dive in,
22:48
find out what the record is, what the goal was, and hear
22:52
the story about it. This is one of those weird ones though. This
22:56
is the City Museum in Saint Louis gathered together three hundred and fifty five people
23:03
who were wearing underwear on their heads, and they were dancing to Ymca by
23:07
the village people. I don't really know what the dancing part has to do
23:11
with it, but I mean, if you got to do something while you're
23:14
in a museum with underwear on your heads, you might as well dance to
23:18
Ymca. They did break the record for most people wearing underwear on their heads.
23:25
The previous record was two hundred and seventy. They crushed it, absolutely
23:30
destroyed the record. So gen Z is repopularizing a lot of things from the
23:37
past. Yeah, I got it all out, all the syllables, But
23:41
how about this one. Gen Z starting to use tanning beds says, despite
23:48
you know all the information about risks of tanning, skin cancer, premature aging,
23:53
zoomers all about the tanning beds. According to data from the American Academy
23:59
of Dermatology, of gen zers think being tan is more important than protecting themselves
24:03
from skin cancer. Thirty percent said they would rather look great today with a
24:08
tan even if that means looking worse later in life. The tanning bed trend,
24:15
of course, on social media hashtags hashed a sun bed hashtag tanning getting
24:25
billions of views. So yeah, I mean, everything kind of comes back
24:33
around eventually, doesn't it. It's an interesting one to come back around,
24:37
but it feels like, you know, most things eventually do come back around.
24:41
And finally, a woman in Japan who was trying to get rid of
24:45
her free loading adult son and get him to move out of the house.
24:52
He, because of that, decided to set their house on fire. Police
24:56
say that the unemployed forty five year old son was unst satisfied with breakfast options
25:00
that were being offered by his sixty seven year old mother, so he got
25:06
angry and set her house on fire. If he lived there too, would
25:08
it also be his house, destroying a large part of the three story home.
25:15
The woman was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. I'm sorry,
25:19
this is the son who was taken to the hospital. His mother was able
25:23
to get out of the house and was unharmed. Police later arrested him,
25:29
So I guess he's just got to worry about breakfast options in jail. They're
25:33
probably not better. I would think that'll do it for this Tuesday edition of
25:38
the show. Thanks to our sponsors and Patronspatreon dot com, slash West Carol,
