Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carol Morning Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Monday morning, June one.
0:14
Speaker 3: I'm Wes, thanks for joining me five months deep into
0:20
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six and now just a little over a
0:24
Speaker 3: month away from the America to fifty celebration on July fourth.
0:34
Speaker 3: It will be I'm sure a more than just one day.
0:38
Speaker 3: You know, I will say this. I was shopping over
0:42
Speaker 3: the weekend. I do the Carol household shopping for the family.
0:48
Speaker 3: I do the grocery shopping, and I was in a
0:51
Speaker 3: couple stores over the weekend, and I will just say this,
0:57
Speaker 3: there are a lot, a lot more than what I'm
1:01
Speaker 3: used to seeing. Fireworks out ready to go, and obviously
1:06
Speaker 3: this is going to be a big celebration. There's a rule,
1:11
Speaker 3: there's an adage when you talk about anniversaries where you say,
1:15
Speaker 3: if it's an anniversary that ends in a five or
1:18
Speaker 3: a zero, it's a big deal. If the tens place,
1:24
Speaker 3: you know, if you're hitting like a twenty five, you're
1:26
Speaker 3: hitting a fifty, you're hitting double zeros in it, it's
1:30
Speaker 3: a bigger deal. And two fifty is obviously a huge deal.
1:35
Speaker 3: When it comes to the celebration of our country. So
1:40
Speaker 3: this is a big one. A lot of fireworks out.
1:43
Speaker 3: I hope, maybe, just maybe there's more of them out
1:47
Speaker 3: also because some people realized how stupid it is to
1:52
Speaker 3: shoot fireworks for Memorial Day weekend. I don't have a
1:56
Speaker 3: lot of hope that that's what happened, but I just maybe,
2:00
Speaker 3: just maybe there were some that decided, hey, this is
2:04
Speaker 3: really distasteful and tacky and inappropriate, and maybe I shouldn't
2:09
Speaker 3: do it, And hopefully some of that is why there's
2:13
Speaker 3: so many out. But anyway, so that we're getting ready
2:17
Speaker 3: for that one, and that is now just a little
2:19
Speaker 3: over a month away, so prepare yourself for that. I
2:24
Speaker 3: want to talk a little bit this morning about you
2:28
Speaker 3: may have heard it. It's being tossed around now a
2:31
Speaker 3: little bit because there is starting to be a little
2:34
Speaker 3: bit more pressure from the left for their boy, their guy,
2:43
Speaker 3: that many of them are still supporting the candidate for
2:49
Speaker 3: the Democrat Senate seat that they think is ultimately going
2:56
Speaker 3: to be the person to take on and defeat Susan Koala,
3:00
Speaker 3: the Republican who is very much a rhino. She is
3:04
Speaker 3: not a real Republican, but That's about the best you
3:07
Speaker 3: can do in Maine is be a rhino, and that's
3:10
Speaker 3: what she is. She does not always vote with Republicans,
3:13
Speaker 3: she does not always support things that Republicans beg her
3:19
Speaker 3: to do, and you would think the people of Maine
3:21
Speaker 3: would appreciate having someone that is reflective of their views
3:26
Speaker 3: the way Susan Collins is. There's been talk for a
3:29
Speaker 3: long time about Republicans wanting to get her out of
3:33
Speaker 3: there but for the sake of another Republican. But honestly,
3:36
Speaker 3: that's kind of what you're going to get in Maine.
3:38
Speaker 3: Is this rhino type? I just don't know anyway. There's
3:43
Speaker 3: a number of states that sort of have this dilemma.
3:45
Speaker 3: That is one of them.
3:46
Speaker 2: That seat.
3:48
Speaker 3: However, the person who kind of came along, Graham Platner
3:53
Speaker 3: in Maine to be the Democrat on the ticket is
4:01
Speaker 3: there's a lot of baggage and many on the left,
4:05
Speaker 3: many on the left have just decided that, you know,
4:10
Speaker 3: scruples be damned, like the most important thing is can
4:14
Speaker 3: he win? Can he possibly give them that Senate seat
4:18
Speaker 3: that they so badly want and need because they've got
4:22
Speaker 3: high hopes for where they.
4:25
Speaker 2: Could go with things.
4:26
Speaker 3: If they can get control of, you know, one or
4:29
Speaker 3: both parts of Congress. So we have a guy who
4:36
Speaker 3: he's got this little flare about him. People just kind
4:40
Speaker 3: of were like, man, this is somebody who has that
4:44
Speaker 3: little bit of zip, that little sizzle, that cult of personality,
4:48
Speaker 3: if you will. And you get people like Bernie Sanders
4:51
Speaker 3: and others saying, yeah, this is our guy, this is
4:54
Speaker 3: who we want. We think this guy can win, and
4:57
Speaker 3: go what about the Nazi tattoo on him?
5:01
Speaker 2: What?
5:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's you know, taking a lot of pictures on
5:04
Speaker 3: social media and has his shirt off and he had
5:06
Speaker 3: a Nazi tattoo. And I said, he didn't know that
5:10
Speaker 3: was a Nazi tattoo. This is what he says, he
5:12
Speaker 3: didn't know. He claims to be a history buff, but
5:16
Speaker 3: he didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo. And I
5:19
Speaker 3: guess he's now covered it up. I don't know. I
5:22
Speaker 3: you know, I know that some people can look I'll
5:27
Speaker 3: be honest with you. I was very critical. I was
5:31
Speaker 3: I was very critical about you know, somebody running for
5:37
Speaker 3: Senate that just decided that they were gonna wear nothing
5:40
Speaker 3: but like a hoodie and dressed like a slob. I've
5:43
Speaker 3: changed my opinions on that a little bit, just a
5:47
Speaker 3: little bit. You know, I'm not quite as I would think,
5:51
Speaker 3: you know, putting on a suit every now and then
5:53
Speaker 3: would still be a nice thing. But I've changed a
5:55
Speaker 3: little bit on the idea of dressing like a slob.
5:58
Speaker 3: I do kind of wonder if you're run for senate,
6:02
Speaker 3: do we still need pictures of you with your shirt off.
6:07
Speaker 3: I just don't know how much that needs to happen.
6:10
Speaker 3: You know, let's be honest here. The shirtless photos to
6:14
Speaker 3: some degree, should have been a problem in the past,
6:17
Speaker 3: but you know, they look past it, even though clearly
6:21
Speaker 3: anybody who claims to be a history buff should should be,
6:26
Speaker 3: you know, understand and see that Oops, I got a
6:30
Speaker 3: Nazi thing tattooed on me. But so many on the
6:33
Speaker 3: left still willing to overlook it. But there's starting to
6:37
Speaker 3: be some discussion now because not only have messages appeared
6:42
Speaker 3: like re emerged and we knew they were there, critical
6:45
Speaker 3: of women, critical of military in some cases going after
6:50
Speaker 3: people who got shot or captured or whatever. I mean,
6:53
Speaker 3: that stuff came out over a Memorial Day weekend.
6:57
Speaker 2: Again, bad luck in general.
7:00
Speaker 3: Now it's the messages like sexting and stuff.
7:05
Speaker 2: You know what that is, don't you. You know, it's
7:08
Speaker 2: when you're texting and it's about sex.
7:12
Speaker 3: They came up with this, They came up with so
7:14
Speaker 3: popular with the kids back in the day that they
7:17
Speaker 3: came up with his term.
7:21
Speaker 2: I don't know.
7:22
Speaker 3: So they had this term for it, and they know
7:24
Speaker 3: he was doing this with all kinds of ladies, not
7:27
Speaker 3: his wife, just other ladies.
7:28
Speaker 2: And then there's this video I.
7:29
Speaker 3: Guess where I guess his wife is like defending him,
7:33
Speaker 3: and everybody said it's like a hostage video.
7:36
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what to make of
7:38
Speaker 2: any of that.
7:38
Speaker 3: All I know is you got a guy with a
7:40
Speaker 3: Nazi tattoo who claims to be a history buff and
7:44
Speaker 3: a very well versed and educated historian. He's definitely an
7:50
Speaker 3: extremist to the left. He's got Bernie Sanders supporting him.
7:55
Speaker 2: He's you know, been.
7:56
Speaker 3: Critical of injured people in the military, always supportive.
8:01
Speaker 2: I guess, uh.
8:03
Speaker 3: And then he's got the these.
8:06
Speaker 2: This sexting stuff people not his wife.
8:10
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know that if it's a I
8:11
Speaker 3: don't know if it's a hostage video of his wife
8:15
Speaker 3: or not. All I know is that there are some day,
8:19
Speaker 3: and we mentioned this, I think Thursday last week. There's
8:21
Speaker 3: there's some people starting to say, maybe this isn't really
8:24
Speaker 3: our guy, maybe it's better to lose than it is
8:28
Speaker 3: to support this guy. Well, there is something now that
8:33
Speaker 3: has uh. He continues to defend himself. Oh and Elizabeth
8:37
Speaker 3: Warren likes him too. That's another reason though. So there
8:41
Speaker 3: is a clause in place. There is a condition that
8:45
Speaker 3: would basically allow him to be replaced on the ballot.
8:51
Speaker 3: But there's a few things that have to happen, and
8:52
Speaker 3: you may have heard some of this being talked about
8:54
Speaker 3: in a few places. So basically, if once someone wins
9:03
Speaker 3: the primary there in Maine, so you know, on June's ninth,
9:11
Speaker 3: and if they then withdraw by July thirteenth at five pm,
9:18
Speaker 3: then they could be replaced by a nominee that the
9:21
Speaker 3: party officials select. That worked out great in the presidential
9:25
Speaker 3: run for them, by the way, So a replacement candidate
9:28
Speaker 3: has to be picked by the twenty seventh, So two
9:31
Speaker 3: weeks later, there's a two week window again five pm,
9:36
Speaker 3: and they have a chance to get another candidate there. Now,
9:39
Speaker 3: it doesn't at this point seem like that's where it's
9:41
Speaker 3: going as of recording this, but it could become a factor.
9:46
Speaker 3: I don't know if it will, but it could.
9:49
Speaker 2: And I guess I've got a few.
9:51
Speaker 3: Questions for people on this, and I've been critical of
9:54
Speaker 3: this guy. A number of Republicans obviously have concerns about
9:58
Speaker 3: this guy, who he is, what.
9:59
Speaker 2: He's about out, what he's capable of.
10:03
Speaker 3: I have said here that I really and truly believe
10:08
Speaker 3: that we have some candidates in some places that are
10:11
Speaker 3: put into places with the specific intention of destroying a
10:16
Speaker 3: city like New York, or in a place to try
10:21
Speaker 3: to pull down a state that they might be a
10:24
Speaker 3: representative serving in it, like I don't know Minnesota. There's
10:30
Speaker 3: a few places where we have seen some things that
10:34
Speaker 3: should concern us, and I mean on a big.
10:37
Speaker 2: Level, I really do.
10:39
Speaker 3: I really think we have a situation in New York
10:42
Speaker 3: City where we're going to destroy America by knocking out
10:47
Speaker 3: its biggest city. Nine to eleven, two thousand and one.
10:51
Speaker 3: It did not destroy America. So you try to do
10:55
Speaker 3: it with airplanes, it doesn't work. Maybe you get somebody
10:58
Speaker 3: in place on the inside to try to tear it,
11:01
Speaker 3: tear it apart and make it go bankrupt, and that
11:05
Speaker 3: seems to be, uh, a probably more viable option when
11:11
Speaker 3: it comes to trying to accomplish this.
11:14
Speaker 2: I don't I pray that won't be the end result.
11:18
Speaker 3: So that's uh, We've had these sort of candidates out there.
11:23
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily believe that that that's the specific intention
11:28
Speaker 3: with Platner. I don't think that's what they're I don't
11:30
Speaker 3: think it's like, hey, we're going to destroy America with
11:33
Speaker 3: this guy. But he certainly seems like he should be
11:37
Speaker 3: a concern to anyone who's looking at these other situations
11:41
Speaker 3: and going, well, this doesn't seem like a good idea
11:44
Speaker 3: with the Nazi stuff, right, And I got questions why, why,
11:51
Speaker 3: first of all, would you excuse and forgive and move
11:55
Speaker 3: forward with a candidate that has this sort of.
12:02
Speaker 2: Baggage. Why would you do that? What would what would
12:05
Speaker 2: be the purpose in that?
12:07
Speaker 3: This notion of supporting really bad candidates can can be
12:15
Speaker 3: more problematic. I give you for an example. I'm given
12:19
Speaker 3: an example here in the state of Georgia, and there
12:24
Speaker 3: was a you know, just a few years ago, just
12:28
Speaker 3: a few years ago, we had a situation where Republicans
12:35
Speaker 3: were trying to they wanted to run There were several
12:39
Speaker 3: candidates obviously running and Republicans were looking for sort of
12:45
Speaker 3: the candidate with a little pizazz and a little zip
12:47
Speaker 3: to them, some ties, also longtime friendship in spite of
12:51
Speaker 3: the accusations of racism, but longtime friendship with Donald Trump.
12:56
Speaker 3: And it was the candidate that sort of ultimately became
13:00
Speaker 3: the candidate was herschel Walker. Herschel Walker in a lot
13:05
Speaker 3: of ways. You know, you could say, well, I like
13:08
Speaker 3: the guy, and I've I've you know, interviewed herschel Walker,
13:12
Speaker 3: I've been around him in person. Certainly a likable guy.
13:17
Speaker 3: I understand the appeal for you know, Georgia football fans.
13:21
Speaker 3: Not a great candidate, somebody that has some baggage. He
13:24
Speaker 3: had some mental health problems. Now can someone with mental
13:26
Speaker 3: health problems overcome that and ultimately be a great candidate.
13:31
Speaker 2: Sure, but there.
13:32
Speaker 3: Were some questions. There were issues with some issues with
13:37
Speaker 3: his ex wife. There were just there was some stuff,
13:40
Speaker 3: There was some baggage there. And there were many on
13:44
Speaker 3: the right in Georgia that said, I don't think this
13:47
Speaker 3: is the candidate. I don't know that this is the
13:48
Speaker 3: right one. And there were a handful of other candidates
13:53
Speaker 3: that were you know less baggage, but a lot of
13:59
Speaker 3: story of folks on the left that did everything they
14:02
Speaker 3: could to support herschel Walker and the reason was because
14:06
Speaker 3: he was not going to be a good candidate. That
14:12
Speaker 3: was the reason. That was the thinking, we can take
14:15
Speaker 3: out herschel Walker, we can beat him as a candidate.
14:19
Speaker 3: That's what they felt like they could do, and ultimately
14:22
Speaker 3: it's exactly what they did, so supporting a candidate on
14:29
Speaker 3: the other side, and of course it turned into a
14:31
Speaker 3: race between him and Rafael Warnock, who also had some issues,
14:35
Speaker 3: some domestic stuff that came out both sides. And I
14:41
Speaker 3: can tell you this, the left had the herschel Walker
14:44
Speaker 3: ads ready to go before it was settled who the
14:48
Speaker 3: candidate was going to be. They were able to hit
14:50
Speaker 3: the ground running with the domestic abuse things against herschel
14:54
Speaker 3: Walker and the accusations they threatened to kill people in
14:57
Speaker 3: these things. They wanted that bad candidate and they kept saying,
15:02
Speaker 3: can you believe Republicans would dominate this guy? And I
15:06
Speaker 3: guess I just asked the question that even if you
15:09
Speaker 3: obviously Democrats wanted Rafael Warnock to win, but sometimes your
15:16
Speaker 3: candidate doesn't win, do you want a bad candidate to
15:19
Speaker 3: win on the other side, is that the is it
15:21
Speaker 3: worth it? I mean, I can tell you right now,
15:25
Speaker 3: if Susan Collins gets beaten by a moderate Democrat in Maine,
15:31
Speaker 3: I would feel much better about that than I would
15:36
Speaker 3: about a guy with a Nazi tattoo that you know,
15:39
Speaker 3: likes to send a hey you up kind of text
15:43
Speaker 3: messages to the ladies or whatever. I don't know, I
15:45
Speaker 3: didn't read them. I don't know what he's sending out.
15:49
Speaker 2: I don't have a clue what it is.
15:50
Speaker 3: But when they say sexting, I got a general idea
15:53
Speaker 3: of you know, probably he asked somebody, hey you up.
15:57
Speaker 3: You know, those kind of things. Another example, and I
16:01
Speaker 3: mean Republicans are certainly not without blood on their hands
16:05
Speaker 3: as far as supporting bad candidates on the other side
16:08
Speaker 3: in the past. But let me also remind you that
16:12
Speaker 3: the Hillary Clinton camp supported Donald Trump to be the
16:16
Speaker 3: nominee for Republicans against her because there's no way, there's
16:21
Speaker 3: no way that he can beat her, there's no way.
16:25
Speaker 3: And then he did. And that's a perfect example for
16:28
Speaker 3: them to go maybe you shouldn't support these bad candidates
16:32
Speaker 3: just for the purposes because to them, he's the worst
16:35
Speaker 3: candidate ever and ended up obviously being a whole different story.
16:39
Speaker 3: For a lot of Republicans, they've got very different feelings
16:43
Speaker 3: on him and where he's been in his journey, but
16:46
Speaker 3: for Democrats, thinking he was a horrible candidate, and think
16:54
Speaker 3: about how close we came to having Senator herschel Walker
17:00
Speaker 3: for herschel Walker to Rafael Warnock to be honest, but
17:03
Speaker 3: that's me. But my point is you got to be
17:06
Speaker 3: careful whenever you support a bad candidate just because you
17:11
Speaker 3: think it's gonna help you with one specific need and
17:14
Speaker 3: in this case, trying to get them one more senator
17:18
Speaker 3: on the scoreboard. Today's show brought to you by Columbus

Speaker 3: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:27
Speaker 3: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:30
Speaker 3: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:33
Speaker 3: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
20:36

20:47
Speaker 3: the break. Well, if you know anything about me at all,
21:00
Speaker 3: you might know this is not fair because maybe you know,
21:02
Speaker 3: maybe you don't.
21:03
Speaker 2: I don't know.
21:03
Speaker 3: I've talked about it a little bit on the show.
21:05
Speaker 3: Usually I guess around March. It kind of comes up
21:09
Speaker 3: March tenth, to be specific.
21:11
Speaker 2: But you may know that I'm a big Donkey Kong fan.
21:16
Speaker 2: I like the game.
21:17
Speaker 3: I like the og Donkey Kong, although I have been
21:21
Speaker 3: known to play many and all of the spin offs,
21:25
Speaker 3: including the Nintendo sixty four Classic Donkey Kong sixty four
21:31
Speaker 3: and it back from nineteen ninety nine, and it is
21:35
Speaker 3: finally going to be available on Nintendo Switch in just
21:40
Speaker 3: a few days, beginning June fourth. If you pay for
21:43
Speaker 3: the Switch Online Expansion Pack, you can play the legendary
21:49
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine Nintendo sixty four Classic Donkey Kong sixty
21:55
Speaker 3: four release includes the original games, mini games and they
21:59
Speaker 3: were at odd in there, and the fan favorite four
22:03
Speaker 3: player split screen battle Arena Mode, all there for you
22:08
Speaker 3: beginning on June the first, So get ready. A growing
22:15
Speaker 3: number of teenagers young adults are getting rid of energy
22:18
Speaker 3: drinks in favor of those high dose caffeine pouches, and
22:24
Speaker 3: you know, the flavored packets you play place in between
22:27
Speaker 3: the lip and the gum, quick burst of energy. It's
22:30
Speaker 3: different than nicotine. It is delivering highly concentrated and discrete
22:35
Speaker 3: blasts of caffeine to the system. Means you can use
22:38
Speaker 3: them in gym's offices, classrooms. You've got some celebrity endorsements
22:43
Speaker 3: on some of these things, for some of these things,
22:46
Speaker 3: and yeah, they're they're the craze. Now that would be
22:51
Speaker 3: I would think, you know, you don't want to overdo
22:53
Speaker 3: it with the caffeine, but I would think it would
22:56
Speaker 3: be better than nicotine. I'm not a doctor. I'm not
23:00
Speaker 3: an expert. That's just my hunch on how that would
23:03
Speaker 3: play out. If it was, you know, studied, it seems
23:06
Speaker 3: like it would be better, but who knows. Everybody went
23:09
Speaker 3: with the vape and said, oh no, now the vape
23:12
Speaker 3: is terrible. You can't do that anymore either. That's to
23:15
Speaker 3: get rid of smoking. And I know people who just
23:19
Speaker 3: started vaping. They never smoked, but they were like, a
23:22
Speaker 3: vaping's cool, I'm going to do this, Like what are
23:24
Speaker 3: you doing. According to a new study on screen captions
23:29
Speaker 3: have officially gone a mainstream. Nearly half of American viewers
23:33
Speaker 3: now keep subtitles turned on either always or often captions
23:39
Speaker 3: designed for hearing impaired, but researchers found the trend is
23:42
Speaker 3: actually being driven by younger generations raised on TikTok, Instagram,
23:47
Speaker 3: and various other streaming services or.
23:51
Speaker 2: I should say social media services.
23:53
Speaker 3: Really says about sixty percent of viewers under the age
23:56
Speaker 3: of thirty four using captions constantly. When it comes to
23:59
Speaker 3: st streaming services, there you go, compared to just twenty
24:02
Speaker 3: seven percent of viewers over sixty five. It seems that
24:05
Speaker 3: viewers prefer subtitles so that they can better understand heavy accents,
24:09
Speaker 3: follow dialogue through poor audio, or help them focus while multitasking.
24:15
Speaker 3: Forty two percent of Americans keep them on even when
24:18
Speaker 3: the sound.
24:19
Speaker 2: Is completely perfect.
24:20
Speaker 3: I've got friends who absolutely do this all the time.
24:26
Speaker 3: I like the feature in many of the streaming platforms
24:30
Speaker 3: where you hit rewind and then play again, and then
24:34
Speaker 3: it automatically turns them on for you for a bit.
24:36
Speaker 3: I like that because that's probably why I had to
24:39
Speaker 3: rewind something is because couldn't quite make out a word,
24:43
Speaker 3: maybe a couple of words, didn't understand it. I've been
24:46
Speaker 3: watching a Canadian show kind of recently and occasionally there'll
24:50
Speaker 3: be a word in there. I'll go, what was that one?
24:52
Speaker 3: That quite catch that? So that's been useful for that.
24:56
Speaker 3: But I don't really need them on all the time,
24:58
Speaker 3: so it's a lot going on for me. The beer
25:02
Speaker 3: brewing giant Moulsen Cores has launched a brand new line
25:06
Speaker 3: of summer travel gear intended to transport beer on the go.
25:12
Speaker 3: The Logger Luggage Collection, a five piece lineup features everything
25:17
Speaker 3: from bottle opening luggage tags to fully insulated rolling suitcases
25:21
Speaker 3: that can carry a twenty four pack of cans. There's
25:26
Speaker 3: a special cooler bag hybrid featuring all terrain wheels, a
25:30
Speaker 3: built in cup holder. Well, of course you need that
25:34
Speaker 3: a telescoping handle to get your beer to the party
25:37
Speaker 3: wherever that party could be. So that's there by the way.
25:41
Speaker 2: I don't know.
25:42
Speaker 3: We had a blue moon over the weekend, our second
25:46
Speaker 3: full moon for the month of March. I'm sorry for
25:49
Speaker 3: the month of May, and I went back to marchton.
25:53
Speaker 3: I was just thinking of months that have thirty one days,
25:57
Speaker 3: and you kind of it helps, certainly when you're trying
26:00
Speaker 3: to get in two of these full moons to make
26:02
Speaker 3: it a blue moon. And I guess the company that
26:07
Speaker 3: makes Blue Moon decided that they were going to over
26:14
Speaker 3: the weekend basically features special promotional blue moon literally blue beer.
26:25
Speaker 3: So they did that. So if you're out over the
26:27
Speaker 3: weekend and you bought up head a blue moon, you
26:29
Speaker 3: might have actually gotten one of those in honor of
26:32
Speaker 3: the blue moon.
26:33
Speaker 2: And know the actual moon wasn't blue. That's not how
26:36
Speaker 2: it works.
26:38
Speaker 3: That'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
