When Is It Finally Time to Really Fight Back? · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carol Morning Show.
0:07
Wednesday morning, fourth day of October. I'm West, thanks for joining me
0:14
when he pulled the fire alarm lately anywhere any problems. I think it's appropriate
0:21
that a member of Congress pulled the fire alarm, right, I mean,
0:27
that's appropriate, even if the excuses don't make any sense, and even if
0:31
all the show, Oh no, it was I thought it was the exit.
0:35
I thought the red handle that you could pull down that said fire on
0:42
it in all capital letters was clearly the exit so that I could leave the
0:47
building. Okay, but it seems appropriate, doesn't it that someone in our
0:56
country finally pulled the fire alarm. Maybe it's time to acknowledge that we have
1:00
a dumpster fire going on, right, not all of it, but in
1:06
parts. I think the border is a dumpster fire, isn't it. Don't
1:08
you think doesn't that qualify as a significant problem? And it's not just the
1:14
border, it's all of the spillover from the border to a number of states.
1:22
We've talked about this for quite a while, go back to COVID when
1:27
on the radio show and on podcasts we were we were talking to members of
1:34
White House staff that would come on and basically say, you know, every
1:38
every states a border state. Our own governor A camp Here has been on
1:42
the show and talked about how every state being a border state now. A
1:48
number of politicians throughout the state of Georgia have been on the show and talked
1:51
about every Our Attorney General Chris Carr has been on the show talking about that
1:57
every state is border state now. And we have a dumpster fire spelling over
2:04
from the southern border, and we got problems on the northern border too.
2:07
It's obviously doesn't have all the pop that And not to offend any of our
2:12
new listeners in Canada, thanks for sticking around. By the way, I
2:15
appreciate you holding on this. I don't know if it's because but it's been
2:20
nice, nice bump north of the border. But when Representative Jamal Bowman,
2:28
you know, pulled, pulled the fire alarm, Republicans say to prevent a
2:32
vote from taking place, he says he thought it was an exit for the
2:38
control for the exit something. By the way, remember in elementary school,
2:44
I don't know where this guy went to elementary school. I don't know,
2:46
I don't know. I don't know what school he went to. I can
2:50
remember though, in elementary school, we had a certain day where they took
2:55
the time to speak with all of the students. Maybe it was in kindergarten,
3:01
maybe it was first second grade, I don't know, but they addressed
3:04
it with us, the students, the student body of the elementary school,
3:08
and they told us, by the way that handle there that says fire on
3:15
it is in case of a fire only if you pull it for any other
3:20
reason, you could be prosecuted. You're gonna put lives in danger because you're
3:24
going to be pulling emergency staff, emergency workers away from possible real emergencies and
3:32
sending them to the school, not to mention the fact that you're going to
3:36
cause a huge disruption in the school. I don't know where he went to
3:40
school. I don't know what it is about him that doesn't he's claiming,
3:45
at least that he doesn't understand. I don't know what's more dangerous that he
3:50
would come up with this idea to pull the handle on the fire alarm in
3:54
order to prevent a vote from going through that he disagreed with, or if
3:59
he so dumb he doesn't know what a fire alarm is I don't know that
4:03
he's making a better claim by claiming his ignorance. I don't know which is
4:12
worse. They're both really bad. Like we've said before about the President right
4:17
now, I don't know if it's worse that he says things that are clearly
4:24
not true so often, if he's doing it intentionally in lying to us,
4:30
or is he doing it just because he doesn't remember. And I don't know
4:32
which of those things is actually worse. I would tend to air on the
4:35
side of the ignorant side is probably worse. But as the dumpster fire that
4:44
is our southern border continues to spill over, we have, you know,
4:49
strange bedfellows, if you will, making the case for we got a problem
4:57
as we're starting to hear from I don't know, like the governor of New
5:00
York, the mayor of New York City, former President Bill Clinton, on
5:08
Sunday, was talking about New York City's right to shelter law and says it
5:13
needs to change due to the migrant crisis overwhelming the city's shelter system. So
5:20
you start getting these strange bedfellows, if you will. That may not be
5:27
the right word when you're talking about former President Clinton. That's probably not the
5:30
right word for it at all. Uh. And of course, when I
5:33
mentioned the governor of New York the state, Kathy Hokel says, you know
5:41
states the sanctuary state, but we gotta get some changes we got, it's
5:45
there. And the of course Clinton referring to it as being a broken he
5:51
says, it's broken. We need to fix it. It doesn't make any
5:55
sense. They come here and we're supposed to shelter people who can't get work
5:59
permits for six months. We need to change that. Kathy Hokul's comments where
6:04
we need a limit on who can come across the border, yes, she
6:10
says it's too open right now. People coming from all over the world are
6:13
finding their way through simply saying they need asylum, and the majority of them
6:18
seem to be ending up in the streets of New York. And that's a
6:21
real problem for New York City. One hundred twenty five thousand newly arrived individuals
6:26
and we are being taxed. So I guess my question for in general,
6:38
as we're at this stage of the fire alarm has been pulled. I mean,
6:44
when you have folks on the left starting to say, hey, we
6:48
were all for this, but this is a bit much. We can't handle
6:51
this. This is getting out of control. I mean, anyone coming across
6:58
the border that's claiming they're seeking asylum but clearly not truly seeking asylum for anything
7:04
other They're coming here because it's America. They want a better life. They've
7:09
been promised free things, They've been told that the doors are open, come
7:13
on in. Our vice president is supposed to be in charge of the border
7:16
crisis or the border period. They don't call it a crisis. Maybe they
7:20
are. I don't know if the White House has come around on this yet.
7:23
But when you've got former presidents and you've got very very left leaning,
7:29
hard left Democrat governor and mayor of New York saying we got a problem,
7:39
well got a problem. This is a problem. I guess the question starts
7:43
to become at what stage with our border problem, with our crime problem,
7:51
with a series of problems that we have in the country, when when is
7:57
it going to become I'm to fight back. I'm not encouraging violence. That's
8:05
not what I'm about. If you've listened to me for any length the time,
8:09
you know that that's not what I'm about but at what point do we
8:16
realize that it is time to fight back. I know that the elections are
8:22
supposed to be our process for fighting back, and when you feel like sometimes
8:28
that and I'm not an election denier, I think there was There are a
8:31
lot of issues that need to be cleaned up, and many states say that
8:37
they've done that. Here in Georgia, our governor and others have said they've
8:43
done that, We've cleaned it up. There's no reason to distrust the election
8:46
process in Georgia. And you know, we had, you know, a
8:52
governor who ran away with his reelection wasn't even close, it was close before,
8:58
and then to come back and say it's time, you know, we've
9:01
cleaned it up, and he runs away with it. So when part of
9:09
what some people distrust is elections in some states and in some places in Georgia,
9:18
when we can have an election that and I mean, go ahead and
9:22
write this down. Fulton County next year presidential election, Fulton County is going
9:30
to be the last county to turn their votes in. That's been consistently something
9:33
that's happened now for multiple election cycles. They're going to wait and tournament at
9:39
the last possible minute, and when it happens over and over and over again,
9:43
it becomes suspect. Right, even if there's no evidence of any specific
9:46
wrongdoing, just suspicions. It does look bad. It consistently looks bad.
9:52
And there have been other states that have had issues. Remember Florida had issues
9:56
and it looked bad. You couldn't pinpoints specifically here's what they're doing, but
10:01
it looks bad. And then that's when people start to make accusations or say
10:05
they're bringing out boxes of ballots from the back room. Where are those coming
10:09
from? So in order for people to trust the system, that's vital.
10:16
One for the republic it two, it's vital and it's important for us to
10:24
feel like that. That's the primary way to fight back. See the left
10:30
says you can physically fight back. The Maxine Water says get in their faces
10:33
at the gasoline stations and at restaurants, and people say, harass politicians out
10:37
in public. We're in the off season right now. We kind of dodge
10:41
some of that, I guess during the mid terms, but we're going to
10:46
hit this phase coming up next year, and it may happen before years in
10:50
once we get down to you know, less than twelve calendar months away from
10:54
election day and we're knocking on the door. Right we're hitting that thirteen calendars
11:00
away. But once we get under a year, I don't know. I
11:05
mean, would we get into January February? When does when do things start
11:07
to you know, break loose. I mean, right now, the strategy
11:11
seems to be just disavowal Trump, get him off the ballot, get rid
11:16
of him. That seems to be the primary strategy. That seems to be
11:20
the main thing. Do we think that we're not going to hit a phase
11:24
of rioting in streets? And I mean we're still seeing some of that.
11:28
We had some thefts that were done in the name of Black Lives Matter,
11:31
which it's interesting that anybody I've I've made my case for why I feel like
11:37
there should be certainly some issues. I feel like people probably have some buyer's
11:45
remorse with Black Lives Matter, They have to. Some probably still all in
11:48
they think it's I've still seen the stickers on some cars around town. I
11:54
mean, the point when you found out that they were using the money to
11:58
buy mansions and cars, cars and stuff. I think it's time to pull
12:01
the sticker off. I mean, I understand it's a sticker on your car.
12:05
And one of the reasons that a lot of people don't do bumper stickers
12:09
is because you know at some point you might want to take them off.
12:13
You still see the occasional Obama sticker on cars riding around. Those still are
12:18
out there. I've saw one of those the last month or so. Those
12:22
are still out there moving around. I mean, it's a commitment, and
12:26
when you do it, it's got to be something you're sure about. The
12:28
reason I don't have any tattoos, people say, oh, not one,
12:31
you don't have any time. No, I don't have any time. I
12:33
don't want one. I don't know. I don't really have any interest in
12:35
having one. I don't have any issues with other people getting them. I
12:39
just don't know if anything that I would want permanently put on my body,
12:43
I don't. There's nothing. There's nothing that I would want on my body
12:48
that I would look at later and go, yeah, I'm glad I did
12:50
that. That's just me. That's just where I am. I get the
12:56
like the Fellowship from a Lord of the Rings, all those actors, I
12:58
get that that's pretty cool. If I was involved in something like that.
13:01
Maybe that'd be a conversation to have. But just for the sake of going
13:07
I need to get a sloth on my arm or what? No, I
13:13
don't need that. I don't need to. I don't need to have,
13:16
you know, a koala on my arm to show that I married someone from
13:20
Australia. That I don't need. I'm well aware of where she's from.
13:24
I get it. I could get my wife's name on there, right,
13:30
you could do that, or you know your kid's names, or any of
13:31
those kinds of things. I don't. I don't need to do that.
13:35
I don't need to stick something on my car. People still have the Black
13:37
Lives Matter things on their cars, and do they not follow the news at
13:41
all? Do they not realizing? Probably take those off. You know,
13:45
when you bought the sticker where if you bought it through Black Lives Matter in
13:50
any way you bought the sticker, you put it on your car. You
13:54
know, maybe that money mine I went towards buying a mansion for somebody.
13:58
It didn't really go maybe to what you thought it was going to. You
14:01
know, it was shuffled around. Somebody gave it to their friend, who
14:03
gave it to their friend who gave it to a consultant who happened to be
14:07
their friend, who was their cousin also, and all those sorts of things.
14:09
Whatever the deal was with all the money with Black Lives Matter. But
14:15
don't think that we're not going to hear more about some of that. We're
14:18
not going to get people marching and protesting in the streets. Something will come
14:22
along. It will deliver itself. It's just a matter of time and we'll
14:26
face that. And I'm not advocating for actual fist fighting. I don't think
14:30
violence is the answer at all. But when it comes to people being fed
14:35
up with the economy, when it comes to people being fed up with the
14:39
border, when it comes to people just being fed up, is it not
14:45
an obligation to do something when you see a former president of the United States
14:50
being paraded around solely for political purposes, solely vindictive political purposes. When you
14:58
see that happening, when you see Trump, you know another example of it
15:03
this week, and it's just over and over and over again. How do
15:07
we keep him off the ballot? The ultimate in election interference. I heard
15:11
him say it the other day, and it is it's election interference. If
15:16
they're trying to keep him off the ballot. They're trying to keep people from
15:20
being able to vote for him. When are people going to actually go,
15:22
you know what, I wasn't going to vote for him, but now I
15:26
am. When is that going to happen? When are the people left of
15:28
center that feel like it's time to actually take a stand. What are those
15:33
people gonna say? You know what, I wouldn't have voted for him otherwise,
15:39
but we need to make a statement. We need people to understand that
15:41
this is not okay. I know, it's a dream. It's all a
15:46
dream. People aren't going to stand up over the border. They look at
15:48
it, they say it's a problem. They're starting to hear the people that
15:52
they voted for say it's a problem. It's majorly taxing. Well, it's
15:56
taxing their city and state if you're talking about New York, but it's doubly
16:00
taxing the people who live there. I know, it's just a dream.
16:06
It's just a hope. It's a wish, it's a wish on a star.
16:10
It's something that you just wish for. Maybe, just maybe we could
16:15
have people actually stand up on principle and push aside all the other things and
16:18
say, you know what, we were better off economically right before COVID,
16:22
we were doing great. We had more money in our pockets. I've talked
16:27
about I've got friends. I got one friend in particular, it's so frustrating,
16:30
but his whole thing with Trump was Yeah, but that money, that
16:34
extra money that we got, you know, it came away from some of
16:37
it came away from environmental issues, came away from environmental programs, and I
16:42
want to support those. Well, take the extra money and give it directly
16:45
to them. You can benefit them much much more if you end up with
16:51
an extra one hundred dollars a month in your wallet over a Republican president cutting
16:56
something environmental. Take thee hundred dollars to oxble Meadow. You think you couldn't
17:02
just put it in their hand and they couldn't find something to do with it.
17:06
They'd see more of that hundred dollars than they would have been taken away
17:10
from you and run through a bunch of bureaucrats, and you know they might
17:14
have gotten a dollar of it out of that. If you give them one
17:15
hundred dollars, man, they can do a lot. You gotta trust me
17:18
on that one you gotta you really gotta trust me. Trust me. They'd
17:25
love to see that hundred dollars, but that's gone, that's long gone.
17:29
In fact, we didn't just lose the hundred dollars with this president. We
17:33
you know, it's all been sucked away. Oh, no more extra taxes
17:36
on you. We're just gonna bury you in inflation. We're gonna make it
17:40
harder. When are people gonna wake up and realize they have to? And
17:42
I'm not talking about the far left people. I get it, that's gone.
17:48
That's gone. Those people they've already they'll they'll vote blindly and they'll stand
17:52
by Biden or whoever the candidate is because they feel like this is our best
17:57
case for pushing everything to the left. Talking about those people left of center
18:02
that maybe we're kind of midway, but now they're just barely left of center
18:06
because it's pushed over so much. One of those people gonna wake up and
18:08
realize. And maybe it's not Trump, maybe it's de Santis, maybe it's
18:15
somebody. I said this in twenty sixteen, a what a missed opportunity to
18:22
vote for somebody who's a moderate Republican like Marco Rubio an opportunity to go in
18:29
that direction. If people didn't want to do it, No, yeah,
18:30
yeah, he's gotta be Hillary. It's gotta be Trump. And that's what
18:33
we got. And remarkably, Trump was a much better president than I think
18:38
most most people I know at least thought some were pretty solid he was going
18:44
to be there, But I wasn't convinced then by re election time, I
18:49
was that he did a great And I'm not talking about any of the extracurricular
18:53
stuff. I'm just talking about as far as we had more money in our
18:57
house. We had money to make trips that we didn't have before that,
19:03
trips overseas. Those days are long gone. When are people going to wake
19:07
up and realize it's time to all of us have to fight back. I
19:10
just I know it's a dream, but just let me have my dream.
19:15
Today's show brought to you by Columba State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,
19:19
inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really
19:29
of all ages. I mean they do it for school age kids as school
19:33
aged kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it
19:37
through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and
19:42
the careers in space and stem fields are booming right now, and you can
19:48
learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While
19:56
you're there, also check out some of their upcoming p programs. They've got
20:00
this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State
20:06
University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can
20:11
get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in
20:15
Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
20:18
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus
20:26
inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of
20:30
Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
20:37
check out when the next Astronomy Nights coming up where you can get outside.
20:41
Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
20:45
somewhere outside the city lights, you don't on any light interference, and you
20:48
can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website,
20:52
it's CCSC dot org. As Shawn Kruzen says Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot
20:59
org. I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center
21:04
CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
21:11
For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you
21:15
have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on
21:21
anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
21:26
Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while
21:30
they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic
21:34
changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
21:38
quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done to
21:42
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
21:47
it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
21:51
sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that
21:56
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
22:00
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
22:04
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
22:10
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
22:12
or maybe you just want a little man caved, you'd like to be
22:15
able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They
22:18
can do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
22:22
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage
22:26
and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and
22:30
they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,
22:34
seven h six three five eight forty five hundred O DC Columbus dot com more
22:41
West Carol Morning Show right after the break. Well, speaking of inflation,
22:52
it's caused the price of really just about everything to go up, and there's
22:59
no stopping it, not even if you're the Girl Scouts. This year,
23:03
when the Girl Scouts start hitting the pavement with their cookies and they want to
23:07
sell you thin mints and Smoa's customers will have to shell out even more cash.
23:11
Boxes of cookies been priced around five dollars for the past several years,
23:15
going up to six dollars in some parts of the country. Inflatition's getting everybody,
23:22
It's getting everybody. Are you ready for Cowgirl Barbie? The folks at
23:26
Wrangle or think so? They're ushering in fall with a sea of pink Denham
23:32
the new line called Dreaming and Denham. It goes heavy on references to Barbie,
23:36
reminding us that she's been a horse owner for more than forty years.
23:40
The line offers sizes for little girls as well as grown up fans of I
23:45
Swum the movie, It says, the doll. But I mean, the
23:47
movie is why this is a thing, right, I mean, isn't that
23:49
the reason why this is a thing? I think? So? Have you
23:55
heard of the Scandinavian sleep method? We were talking yesterday about the fact that
24:00
you have folks in Japan. It's a popular thing that separation marriage. Where
24:03
you sleep it was it called separation I forge it's called you sleep in different
24:08
houses. You got a completely separate house all together, and and that's what
24:15
you do. Uh yeah, the separation marriage is what it was called.

Well, how about the Scandinavian sleep method? So the way that this works
24:25
is you have a instead of having like a big comforter on the bed,
24:32
you have two smaller comforter on the comforters on the bed, like a twin
24:36
size maybe, and each of you gets your own blankets. And then that
24:40
way you're not fighting over blankets and you're you know, everybody can just kind
24:45
of stay warm, no problem. Now. Of course, if there's a
24:47
dog sleeping on your bed, that could cause some extra complications with it.
24:52
They're already taking up a lot of space anyway. But it's just a thought,
24:56
right, Uh, maybe something to try if you're one of those couples
24:59
that fight over your blankets, but you know, you might also enjoy the
25:03
added body warmth under the blanket. I think it depends on your climate where
25:07
you live. I think this would probably work. It's interesting to know that
25:11
this is the Scandinavian sleep method. I would think the folks in Denmark and
25:15
Norway and Sweden would need the extra body warmth, you know, sharing that,
25:21
But I would think here we could probably get away with it. But
25:25
I also suppose they're more used to the cold. Right. A new survey
25:29
found seventy five percent of people would be happy eating pizza any meal of any
25:33
day. Seventy percent of respondents said they would love pizza for breakfast. Another
25:38
twenty five percent said they would be happy to serve pizza at their wedding.
25:42
They say the perfect pizza, according to the survey, they like round with
25:48
thick crust. They don't like the square pieces, the square thin crust.
25:55
They say perfect toppings, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, parmesan.
26:00
They don't like avocado, mac and cheese, eggplant, pineapple, and fried
26:03
chicken on their pizza. I'll you know, some people like the pineapple.
26:08
I'll throw the flag also on the mac and cheese because if you've, you
26:12
know, ever been to one of the buffets that had the macaroni and cheese,
26:17
it's not bad. I mean, I wouldn't intentionally order it. There's
26:21
plenty of calories already involved without adding macaroni and cheese into the mix. Just
26:25
saying and finally, yep, the mic rib Remember we heard it was done.
26:30
It was going away. It's not coming back. They've done their farewell
26:33
tour. It well, it's bringing it back. McDonald's bringing it back.
26:38
The return comes after the cameo in twenty twenty two was supposed to be that
26:44
farewell, but McDonald says back in select locations next month. They have a
26:49
mic rib locator that you can go to mic riblocator dot com and find out
26:56
the nearest location to where you happen to be. I would suppose on their
27:00
app they're missing an opportunity there with working it in on the app too.
27:03
You know That's what I'm thinking. But anyway, so go figure the McRib
27:08
reports of its death highly exaggerated. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
27:15
the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
