The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, seventh day
0:12
of September. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. Well, it's back,
0:19
isn't it. COVID's back popping up here and there and everywhere. Got
0:25
friends that have it at the moment, heard from one of them yesterday.
0:31
It's there. It hasn't gone away. It's become what we all kind of
0:35
thought it was going to eventually become. I don't know that everybody thought that.
0:38
I know that a lot of the experts, the trustworthy ones anyway,
0:42
told us that this is going to become sort of the seasonal like the flu.
0:49
You know, there'll be different versions of it each year, variants of
0:52
it each year, and we need to be aware of that. And it
0:55
will show up, and you know, they're gonna have vaccines for it.
1:00
Not everybody's down with the vaccine. Not everybody even needs to get the vaccine,
1:06
according to the experts. And I don't know, I don't know where
1:08
everybody is on the vaccines. I know where people in my circle are,
1:14
I know what their thoughts are on it. And I continue to maintain my
1:18
stance that talk to your doctor. You know, some people you know talk
1:23
to their doctor and didn't like the response that their doctor gave them before.
1:27
And I always tell people that, you know, if you if you talk
1:30
to your doctor and you don't like the medical advice that you get from your
1:34
doctor, then you have a couple of options. I mean, you can
1:38
continue to go to a doctor that you don't trust or that you don't think
1:42
that their opinions, their expertise, their training is valid. Or you can
1:49
get a new doctor. I mean that is certainly an option that is there
1:53
for you, is to you know, you could get another doctor. That's
1:56
something that could happen. And if you don't trust your doctor, I highly
2:00
recommend let you get another doctor. That was something that we went through when
2:06
our first son was born. When Jake was born, Jill and I had
2:09
a conversation about our first doctor visit and I told her, you know,
2:15
my thoughts on this whole doctor thing is pretty simple. You know, we're
2:20
trusting a doctor with our child. We're trusting a doctor to tell us if
2:27
our child is healthy, if our child needs a procedure, if our child
2:30
needs some sort of treatment, We're going to trust this doctor with the care
2:37
of our child. And if at some point we start to second guess this
2:40
person so much that we, you know, don't trust him anymore, we
2:46
have to get another doctor. She agreed with me on that point, and
2:51
that became sort of our line in the sand. We just thought, you
2:53
know, this is what we're going to do. We're still with the same
2:57
doctor's office we've been with the whole time. We have a great doctor that
3:00
takes here and it's actually a different doctor than the one we started with.
3:04
But it's the same office, same practice, just a different doctor who is
3:08
the one who actually sees our kids when they go in. And I think
3:13
that should be true of all of us. If you don't trust your doctor,
3:16
then they should not be your doctor. I know that it's tricky when
3:22
you start talking about someone who ultimately becomes the nation's doctor during a pandemic.
3:29
Tony Fauci is someone that you know, people went, well, we gotta
3:31
try. This guy knows a lot about pandemics, he knows a lot about
3:37
these viruses. We're gonna have to trust him. Let him tell us how
3:40
it is, let him tell us where things are going, and then We
3:45
started to get questions, didn't We all started to go, wait a minute,
3:49
this guy's some a little off here, isn't it. And then you
3:53
know, we get emails leaked. We learned more information about, you know,
3:59
money being passed around to assist with a gain of function and things,
4:04
all these terms that we didn't know anything about before. Everybody became experts immediately
4:08
on terms like gain of function. Everybody did, and people mocked each other.
4:14
They mocked people that look at that rand Paul, he's thrown around gain
4:18
of function. Who does he think he is? You know, he's just
4:21
a senator. He's also a doctor, right, you know he knows about
4:28
gain of function. He was dismissed though, because you know, what does
4:30
he know? Now? We got other senators that people just assume they're experts
4:34
on everything, absolutely everything, even if they're not doctors. But I digress.
4:40
The point is we had to question that guy. You know, you
4:46
get you get Tony Fauci running things, you got to start questioning. And
4:49
then suddenly he decides he's going to retire and he's not going to be the
4:53
guy anymore. But he said he got us through the pandemic. We had
4:57
a point at some point a last this year when when I guess it was
5:02
trying to remember the exact date when Biden told us, so, this is
5:04
when the pandemic's going to end, and he called the date he said it
5:09
when it was going to be over, and then it was over, and
5:12
then it's, you know, the pandemic part of it, I guess is
5:15
over. But we still have this, uh, this virus floating around and
5:17
it's out there, and there's some concerns about how much is this going to
5:23
come into play moving forward. And I've told you we have a few things
5:27
that we need to be paying very careful attention to when it comes to and
5:32
believe me, they're they're significant. They become increasingly significant as we get closer
5:38
to November next year. First of all, we need to be aware of
5:43
how much we're all willing at this point in the game to regress when it
5:48
comes to our rights. Okay, when when this all started in twenty twenty
5:54
and we were told, you know, you're going to kill grandma if you
5:57
don't do follow these rules and you have to and everything wanted to everybody to
6:00
be afraid. Now there's varying levels of how afraid different people should have been.
6:04
I know people who weren't afraid at all. Okay, I know people
6:10
who navigated through this whole process not being afraid at all. Refused to you
6:17
know, wear a mask, refused to get a vaccine, refused to take
6:20
any precautions. They just kept on living life just like they were. And
6:25
some of those people did just fine. They navigated through it, had no
6:29
issues at all. I know some who made those decisions and got very sick
6:34
and you know, said I probably should have probably should have taken a few
6:40
precautions. I know at least one who got very sick and almost died I
6:45
think technically did die on the table and they were able to revive him,
6:48
and he said, oh, I should have definitely been more careful. I
6:54
know of at least one who did not take any precautions. You could make
7:00
the case that this person, you know, probably should have known better to
7:04
some degree, but decided I'm not going to be afraid and is no longer
7:10
with us. So there's stories like that that cover the whole gambit of this
7:15
whole thing. There's some who you know, hid under the bed, crawled
7:19
under the bed, under a blanket, you know, locked the doors.
7:23
I'm not letting that virus get in my house through the door. You know
7:27
those kinds of people. There were those people too. There's people who are
7:30
still wearing masks in public. There are people who still think that everyone should
7:33
be wearing masks in public. We have a broad spectrum of how people have
7:38
navigated this and ultimately what we have to do and what we should have done
7:43
much sooner. I think it's my Monday morning quarterback, But I think we
7:47
still have to get back to the basic idea here is that we have to
7:53
be adults and make up our mind what we think is the best way to
7:57
handle this. I mean, I should have been it from the beginning,
8:01
right, But you know, there was certainly reasons to be concerned. People
8:07
were dying all over the planet. There were concerns. Okay, some people
8:11
roll the dice and it worked well for them as far as not giving up
8:15
their liberties. Here we are now with the knowledge that we have what we
8:20
know about this virus, what we know about the way that it affects us.
8:26
We know if we are high risk, we know if we have people
8:28
in our lives who are high risk. We're in a position now where we
8:31
should be able to with the knowledge that we have be able to work our
8:35
way through this whole process right and with the help of our doctors that we
8:41
hopefully you have a doctor, Hopefully you have health insurance. Hopefully you have
8:46
the ability to go see your doctor if you get sick, or if you
8:48
go on a regular you know, check up with your doctor. You're able
8:52
to ask questions like, hey, what do you think about should I be
8:56
getting the next round of shots? Should I get the next booster shot?
9:01
And then the doctor will give you their thoughts on your particular conditions and all
9:07
that. But we do have people now that want everybody back in masks,
9:11
and this is one of those liberties that first of all businesses. We absolutely
9:16
cannot let businesses start closing again. That's the first concern we need to be
9:20
paying attention to. I don't know of any cases where that's happening. I
9:22
don't know if there's even really talk of that. There is talk, however,
9:26
about masks becoming mandated, and there are places schools, campuses and things
9:31
where they're asking mandating in some cases that people wear masks. I think there
9:35
are some cases where people are at being asked again to get vaccinated and get
9:39
booster shots. So these things are starting to pop back up again. So
9:45
are we going to go down a path again where that we might face those
9:48
things. I want to quickly mention this because as a side note here,
9:52
and this is really isn't a side note. This is really a big story.
9:56
But Ohio republic and Senator JD. Vance putting a proposal out that would
10:03
prohibit a federal imposition of federal mass mandates for air travel, public transportation,
10:11
and educational institutions. He's calling it the Freedom to Breathe Act, and he
10:16
says this would bar schools, institutions higher learning that receive federal money, airlines,
10:22
and public transit operators from refusing service to people who make a choice not
10:26
to wear a mask. Now, there's certainly, at best, right,
10:33
at best, mixed results on what's going on with the masks. We're hearing
10:37
about some of the masks that are actually causing more harm than good because of
10:39
the way that the masks are made if people are wearing them for long periods
10:43
of time out in public, so a little chance of actually clearing things.
10:50
But it's something and it's certainly if it does, it's not going to be
10:52
signed by the president. That's not where it's going. But this is something
10:56
that is important at least for someone to get this out there. Okay,
11:03
now you know this is largely for show, but it is important that at
11:09
least be you know, for show. All right, So because if it's
11:15
not going to happen, you at least go through the motions and make sure
11:18
that people are aware that this is something that we do have people in the
11:20
Senate working to do. All right. Now, here's the next part of
11:24
this. This is the next thing that we really have to take because we
11:26
don't need businesses shutdown. We can't do this to ourselves again with the economy.
11:31
I don't care what happens now, there's no indication we're heading that way,
11:35
Okay, but we have to pay attention because if that talk starts to
11:39
happen anywhere, we need to be aware. If the mask talk starts to
11:45
get really heavy again, we have to be aware. And if we start
11:52
hearing conversations in the next year, Okay, it's it's we're now a week
11:58
into sept right, we are all aware of the fact that November of next
12:05
year we have election day coming. Think about what happened in twenty twenty,
12:13
as folks were being discouraged from going into actual polling centers, they were discouraged
12:22
from going and voting in person. They were being told no, no,
12:24
no, no no, we're gonna have people come around and pick up those
12:28
ballots at your house. We have ballot drop off boxes. They're just gonna
12:33
be out in the street, nobody watching them. They're just gonna be out
12:35
there. Okay, some states have now taken precautions to make sure that those
12:41
kinds of things don't happen, but some states still allow types of ballot harvesting.
12:46
We need to be very aware of where things are headed down that potentially
12:52
down that path next year. Don't think it's not a real possibility. Don't
12:56
think that there aren't going to be states and some major cities where it's going
13:01
to be encouraged. Don't think that In Georgia, Fulton County could very well
13:03
be one of those places saying we just can't get people to go in and
13:07
vote. They're not going to be safe. And even if they go in
13:11
and vote and they're not safe, we got to make sure, you know,
13:15
you're not an allowed to feed them pizza while they stand in line and
13:18
hand out bottles of water while they wait in line. We're not able to
13:22
give them. Is certainly not capable of packing their own snacks. They can't
13:28
pack their own provisions for the journey and to vote. They can't do that.
13:33
We can't stand there wearing a blue T shirt with Biden's face on it,
13:37
handing them slices of pizza as they're getting ready to vote and make their
13:41
decision. We're not allowed to do that anymore. I don't know that they
13:46
were doing it in line, they were feeding them. I guess they were
13:48
driving them up to the poll. Can you still drive them in the polic
13:52
centers in the busses and feed him pizza while you take them? I think
13:56
that's still an option, So we need to be aware where they're not.
14:00
This is starting to get discussed if the conversation starts to get serious about Oh,
14:05
it's going to be so much better if we just drop them off in
14:09
these drop boxes. If you let there's random people come up to your house
14:13
and get you to go ahead and sign the ballot, and they'll turn it
14:16
in for you. They'll fill it out. They'll make sure they fill it
14:18
out exactly the way you want them to and they'll go turn them in.
14:22
Not saying that that happened in Georgia, not saying that it happened in you
14:26
know, other battleground states that it was close that ultimately tipped the election.
14:31
I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying we need to be aware
14:35
of it, because once that kind of thing happens, then suddenly it becomes
14:39
a strategy. It becomes a way for people to navigate things. Now,
14:45
it's interesting that one of those types of strategies that has become very popular is
14:50
this whole notion of helping a bad candidate get nominated. Right, you sit
14:58
there and you say, that person over there on the other side would be
15:01
the worst possible candidate that they could nominate, and it would be so much
15:05
easier for us, our party, to beat that candidate. So we're gonna
15:11
help that candidate get nominated because they can't possibly win. That's what people thought
15:15
about Donald Trump. That's what Hillard Clinton and her camp thought about Donald Trump.
15:18
No way he can win. Let's help him get nominated. He would
15:22
be the best possible candidate for us to face because there's no way he even
15:26
really wants to win. He can't possibly win. Remember it came down to
15:31
Trump or Ted Cruz. They wanted Trump and that did not work well for
15:37
them. But that strategy has continued on, especially you get passed to January
15:43
sixth, trying to associate anybody with Trump with January sixth. So in the
15:48
mid terms, it was how many candidates associated with Trump can we help get
15:52
nominated? And say, how did Republicans dominate another terrible candidate like herschel Walker?
16:00
How did they keep doing that? And state after state all around the
16:03
country that time it actually worked. Strategy was pretty effective. There were some
16:08
races that went to Republicans that were associated with Trump, but there were some
16:14
that just could not get over the hump. They already had the ads made
16:18
for herschel Walker. They wanted herschel Walker to be the nominee, partly because
16:22
of Trump, but partly because they knew he had some issues with mental health
16:26
in his past. They pounced on that whatever he said to his ex wife
16:33
was worse than whatever Raffael Warnock said to his ex wife. So that made
16:36
it easy, right. That made Walker the candidate that they wanted to face.
16:41
That's who they wanted. So that's also a strategy that we've seen play
16:47
out a few times. And once those strategies are in place, people are
16:49
going to use them. They're going to use them as much as they can.
16:53
Which brings us to my final point today, which is why it is
16:56
so dangerous this game that we're playing with former President Trump and his indictments at
17:04
Someone tell me the other day, a friend tell me that they just can't
17:07
understand how a former president who's running for president can be indicted a criminal,
17:15
someone who might go to jail, could actually be on the ballot. That
17:22
sentiments out there. There's people who feel that way. There's some people that
17:26
are moderates in the middle that feel that way. But that is the strategy
17:30
because, let's be honest, the charges against him are only there for that
17:37
reason, to create that sentiment. That's what they want. This isn't about
17:41
really. I mean, I suppose they are still angry about him daring to
17:45
beat Hillary Clinton and they want to get him. But just understand that this
17:49
is now a strategy moving forward, because now anytime you're the party in power
17:56
and you control the Justice Department, you can go after a political opponent if
18:00
they say something that isn't kosher, they say something that isn't okay in society,
18:06
they say something that's out of line, out of touch, out of
18:07
step. Get a state like California that says it's illegal to call someone by
18:12
the wrong gender illegal. So if a political candidate says that someone I don't
18:21
know that's living as a male is really a female, does that mean that
18:26
they could be charged? How serious of a charge? Is it a more
18:30
serious charge in California to do that than it is to loot and steal,
18:36
to bust up a store and take whatever you want? I think it is.
18:41
Is it a felony to call somebody by the wrong gender? Because if
18:44
you could start indicting candidates for that, suddenly we've got a serious issue with
18:48
thought police, right, we got a serious issue with people just speaking their
18:52
mind. So this could be a strategy moving forward. Could Republicans play the
18:59
same game and go back the other pendulum tends to go both ways, That's
19:02
the way pendulums work, right, Good Republicans play the same game with Democrats
19:07
moving forward? Could charges suddenly be thrown around in the direction of candidates the
19:12
other way? Yes, they could, And sadly, it says a lot
19:19
about where we are, doesn't it. So we do need to be aware
19:23
that the strategy of encouraging people to use drop boxes and people doing ballot harvesting,
19:32
it's a strategy and it's something we need to be very aware of as
19:36
we enter into this next phase of the pandemic. I know people that have
19:40
it right now. I know people that have it and are dealing with it
19:44
and recovering right now, and you probably do too. Today's show brought to
19:48
you by Columba State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the
19:55
youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages.
20:02
I mean, they do it for school age kids, as school aged kids
20:06
visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their
20:08
university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers
20:15
in space and STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn more
20:21
about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there,
20:30
also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration
20:34
that they do with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music
20:40
under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else.
20:45
It's one of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia,
20:48
you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean,
20:51
this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium
21:00
at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the
21:03
Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when
21:08
the next Astronomy Nights coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you
21:14
do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside
21:18
the city lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do
21:21
that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website. It's CCSSC
21:26
dot org. As Shaun Cruzen says, Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot org.
21:32
I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC
21:38
dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for
21:42
all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
21:49
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
21:53
has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
21:59
Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
22:03
you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
22:07
like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
22:11
you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside
22:15
door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
22:19
a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
22:23
insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets
22:29
in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
22:33
add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and
22:37
you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You
22:42
know, if you'd like to work on your own cars in there, or
22:45
maybe you just want a little man caved. You'd like to be able to
22:48
open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do
22:52
that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
22:55
nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage. Garage
23:00
door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those
23:03
as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred seven h six three

23:14
right after the break. I don't typically get into the celebrity gossip on the
23:27
show. I don't really talk about that. I haven't really done a whole
23:30
lot of that over the years, a little bit here and there, but
23:32
not a whole lot lately anyway. But I thought this was an interesting story,
23:37
and I mean it is a bit in the gossip area, but it's
23:41
news related and it maybe could, uh, you know, be something to
23:47
think about. I was gonna say useful, but in a way, it's
23:48
just kind of something to think about. But the site TMZ is reporting that
23:56
surveillance footage captured by a ring doorbell camera at the home that Joe Jonas shared
24:04
with Sophie Turner was ultimately the last straw in prompting him to file for divorce.
24:11
This has just happened in the last few days. They didn't say specifically
24:15
what was seen in the surveillance footage, but they say that they were according
24:22
to numerous sources, that there was footage captured by the camera of Sophie Turner
24:29
from a Game of Thrones saying or doing something that let him realize that their
24:34
marriage was over. And they said that he talked to divorce lawyers in LA
24:40
this past week and is filing for divorce in Florida. It's interesting, and
24:45
again it's not the gossip part of this. I don't know what was said.
24:48
I don't have any idea what could possibly have caused the marriage to end,
24:52
but it's interesting that a ring doorbell camera could ultimately have been the cause
24:59
of the celebrity couples the divorce. So interesting. A new study found patients
25:06
with female surgeons less likely to have postoperative complications than those who have had male
25:11
surgeons. Doctors in Canada and Sweden reviewed more than one million patient records and
25:15
learned that patients who had female surgeons for their procedures had better outcomes and fewer
25:22
problems post surgery. And they say the reason is that researchers believe that women
25:26
operate more slowly, and that taking their time during surgery results in better outcomes
25:33
for the patients. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing along
25:37
this info from this particular study. We all know how much money we spend
25:42
on essential items like food, clothing, your mortgage, or rent other living
25:45
expenses. But how much money do we waste on non essential things? I
25:51
like that they refer to it as wasting it. According to a new survey,
25:55
Americans have way too much stuff we don't need. When you take away
25:59
the things we need to survive, the average American spends about eighteen thousand a
26:02
year on things we do not need, and of that eighteen thousand, about
26:04
thirty seven hundred is spent on impulse buys. And we also have a lot
26:11
of extra stuff. Twenty one percent say that they rent a storage unit I
26:15
guess to prove how much extra stuff that we have to keep everything in it
26:18
that won't fit in their homes. So it's just extra money spending on That's
26:26
like a constant, having to spend money on something that you have that you
26:29
don't need. It just continues over and over and over again. So there
26:36
you go, all right? How about this for a side job. They
26:41
call it side hustle, but I don't like the term even though I just
26:42
said it, but a side job? How about sharing your bed for money?
26:49
Not what you're thinking. This is just all innocent. This is in
26:53
a purely g rated fashion, growing number of gen zers or turning hot bedding,
27:00
which takes a roommate into your life and they match you up with someone
27:06
who actually sleep in the same bed next to you. It's all platonic.
27:11
And there's people been talking about it on social media and they say you can
27:14
make up to six hundred dollars a month. There's one particular influencer, Monique
27:21
Jeremiah, saying it takes two people who respect each other's space values boundaries to
27:25
do hot bedding. See the name of it doesn't so sound platonic, does
27:29
it? No hot bedding? I say, it's just like sharing a room
27:34
with two beds. However you sleep on the same bed together and opposite sides,
27:38
and you you know, want to have a big bed with lots of
27:41
space in the room to make it all worthwhile. It's uh, yeah,
27:47
it sounds like it would be challenging. It really does sound like it would
27:51
be very challenging the right two people I guess could do it, But it
27:56
does sound like it could be really complicated. You know, somebody I get
28:00
the wrong idea, somebody you know might think the other person might get the
28:06
wrong idea, and then they don't, then they get their feelings hurt.
28:08
There could be a lot of complications, is all I'm saying. But hey,
28:12
whatever, you know, I'm an advocate for whatever you gotta do,
28:15
You do your thing, just don't hurt anybody else. It falls into that
28:19
category, doesn't it do your thing? And there you go. California man
28:26
has fought a class action lawsuit against Britta, arguing that it's water filtration system,
28:30
which claims that it filters out thirty contaminants including lead, benzene, mercury,
28:36
cadmium, asbestos, and more, does no such thing. Nicholas Brown
28:41
says in his seventy one page filing that he purchased a fifteen dollars Britta pitcher
28:47
for clean water, but claims the product does not remove or reduce common contaminants
28:52
to below lab detectable limits. Britta immediately respond to the lawsuit, insisting our
28:57
products include a standard filtray, an option that improves taste and odor of tap
29:02
water and is certified to reduce identified contaminants as communicated. Brown, who as
29:08
of right now, is the only plaintiff, accuses Bred of deliberately misleading consumers
29:12
and putting the health and welfare of millions of consumers and their families at risk.
29:19
