Impeachment? Here We Go Again · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

0:01
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:06
day, and you're listening to the West Carol Morning Show Wednesday morning, thirteenth
0:11
day of September, and West thanks for joining me. Well, here we
0:15
go. The pendulum swings back the other way as the impeachment inquiry has been
0:22
announced by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, and now the House committees will
0:30
open a formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, the President of the United States.
0:35
And there's a lot of question now about will the president remain in office,
0:42
will he face this impeachment head on? We're back to this pendulum.
0:48
It it's back and forth. Now, will impeach you? You will impeach
0:50
you? You impeach us. We're gonna impeach. Gotta impeach gonta do a
0:56
whole lot of impeaching. Look over and I see a bottle of the peach,
1:00
clearly Canadian, sitting on my desk. As I kept saying the word
1:04
peach. Wow, it's like it was meant to be. Huh. So
1:08
the inquiry moves forward. The Speaker of the House says that they have ruled
1:14
that the president was lying when he said that he did not have any knowledge
1:21
on his family's foreign business dealings, and with the bank records showing nearly twenty
1:26
million dollars in payments directed to the Biden family members and associates through various shell
1:30
companies, that reeks of its time to begin the impeachment inquiry. So here
1:37
we go. So does this mean he could potentially resign? Does this mean
1:42
that he could stand and face the charges and continue his campaign? Does this
1:48
mean that he may get ushered out the door? I don't know. I
1:53
don't know. We're seeing lots of evidence though that whoever is behind the scenes
1:57
running the show well to make a decision, because there's somebody. We've seen
2:01
the President on many occasions go through shuffle through papers, or explain to reporters
2:10
that they are going to get mad at me if I don't say what I'm
2:14
supposed to say or I'm not supposed to say this, but blah blah blah.
2:19
And then just yesterday we were talking about over the weekend, Kamala Harris,
2:27
the vice president, basically giving a very generic stock answer that has been
2:32
clearly provided for her by someone that she's supposed to say whenever she's asked about
2:39
whatever the week limit should be on abortions, and she doesn't say, this
2:46
is what we could compromise, this is what we could work on, this
2:50
would be a starting point. Instead, she just says, get ready,
2:53
this is going to be a big voting issue next year. We need you
2:55
to vote. We need you to get the right people in place so we
2:59
can get Roe v. Wade back in place. So, yeah, I
3:04
don't I don't know where this is all headed for the current administration. I
3:08
know that this is this is the danger of throwing the impeachments around, because
3:15
the two impeachments for Trump were solely to embarrass him. This you know,
3:22
maybe there's some legitimacy to where this is all headed. Or is this Republicans
3:29
just playing a little back at you. I don't know. I don't know
3:32
where it goes. I don't know how far this is going to go.
3:36
But the timing of it is showing that Republicans are prepared to fight back.
3:40
As obviously Democrats have laid this all out through the Justice Department, with Trump's
3:46
trials that are coming up and how he'll be dealing with that during his run
3:53
for reelection, and Biden could be dealing with that during his run for reelection.
4:00
So it's interesting. It's another another layer to the whole thing, Isn't
4:04
it one more thing about Joe Biden? Before I move on? Because I
4:09
saw this and I thought this was a very interesting and surprising in many ways,
4:15
but not surprising in others. But this uh. Peter Doocey, who
4:20
covers the White House for Fox News, asked of the White House press team,
4:31
basically, why did the President of the United States not visit any of
4:41
the nine to eleven memorial services and any of the sites? Now, for
4:46
twenty one years a president has visited at least one of the sites, you
4:55
know, either Ground Zero or the Pentagon or Shanks Philip Pennsylvania, one of
5:00
the three at least. And then this particular year, the president decided to
5:05
go to Anchorage, Alaska after coming back from a trip from Asia. Right
5:12
he was in Asia, came back and went to Anchorage, Alaska. So
5:18
Deucey, who was still in Vietnam from the trip that Biden made there,
5:24
said, talked to White House officials and asked about the nine to eleven plans,
5:29
and apparently he was told this is the answer he was given by the
5:36
official White House response on why Joe Biden did not visit one of those sites.
5:46
They told him twenty two years after Pearl Harbor, US presidents were not
5:50
still going to visit Hawaii. Wow. Okay, so that's where we are,
5:58
and that should be the understand ending of where things are for this administration
6:03
when it comes to remembering nine to eleven. So, yeah, the Vice
6:13
president did go to the memorial in New York City, and the First Lady
6:18
attended a ceremony at the Pentagon Memorial, but no one from the you know,
6:27
the actual president did not show up at any of those events. So
6:31
it's interesting how that has become the the response that that is now the stance
6:39
taken for the logic that is, that is what they're doing. That is
6:45
it's it's amazing, it's amazing. It really is amazing. Hey, we
6:49
got a situation in New Mexico, and now, so first let's go through
6:59
this whole thing. Because the Governor, Michelle Luhan Grisham or is it lu
7:04
Jan I think it's Luhan, who is a Democrat, announced on Friday that
7:09
open and concealed carry laws in Albuquerque in the surrounding county would be restricted going
7:15
to start restricting gun rights in this one particular county in the state. Of
7:19
course, gun rights activists saying own what authority exactly? Now, what's interesting
7:29
about this? It was a few things that are interesting about it, but
7:32
one thing that I found particularly interesting. First of all, the Attorney General
7:39
in New Mexico says that he will not defend the emergency gun band Order,
7:44
and he says, I don't believe it passes constitutional muster, so which I
7:49
think it's pretty clear that it doesn't. Right. But the other part of
7:55
this story that's interesting is while the governor was on CNN and saying that by
8:05
doing this, she was protecting everyone's constitutional rights, but the anchor on CNN,
8:11
Poppy Harlowe, pulled out a copy of the New Mexico Constitution. This
8:15
was in an interview that happened on Tuesday, and asked the governor what empowers
8:20
her to suspend the gun rights And the governor in the interview repeatedly went after
8:28
the law enforcement for that was standing up to the order. She attacked them
8:33
for that, the folks in New Mexico standing up for it, and went
8:37
after the NRA, among other things, and she said it's not for the
8:41
police to tell me what's constitutional and what's not. So basically, she's just
8:46
saying, they're just supposed to follow orders, right. You just have to
8:50
follow orders. It doesn't matter if it's legal or not. You just have
8:54
to You just gotta follow orders. I've given you orders, you should follow
9:00
them. So that's something to keep an eye on. And who knows exactly
9:05
where all of that could end up. Another interesting story. And I'm just
9:11
kind of jumping around to a few different stories today because the impeachment thing is
9:15
certainly at the top of the list. But here's another one that's kind of
9:18
interesting. Democrat candidate for let's see which seat, fifty seventh District House of
9:26
Delegates in Richmond, Virginia, Susannah Gibson. She's a nurse, and she
9:35
says that she felt like she should get into the race for this particular seat
9:43
because she says that, so I gotta get past the juicy part of the
9:50
story. There's a juicy part of the story. Trust me, I'll come
9:52
back to the juicy part. She says that as a nurse, she should
9:56
get involved in this race because of rov Wade. She says that's the primary
10:01
issue the reversal of Roe v Wade, and she says that's just made her
10:05
feel like she's got to do something that she says it was this is in
10:09
the X. It was never my plan. People ever gonna just say X
10:15
and move on because it was Twitter and now it's X, and now people
10:20
say it's X formerly known as Twitter, and I still feel like I should
10:22
say that. But I think you know that she says on X, it
10:26
was never my plan to run for office, but after Roe v Wade or
10:31
she just says Roe was overturned. I need to step up as a nurse
10:35
practitioner. I know better than anyone that a politician has no place in our
10:41
exam room. So that's the reason that she decided to get in the race.
10:46
But she's in some trouble in her particular race because apparently she's been accused,
10:56
and I guess there's some sort of evidence to go with this. It
11:00
sounds like she maybe isn't even denying it based on the response, But I
11:03
don't know if you tell me how this sounds to you. That apparently she
11:07
was performing some debaucherous acts on a website called Chatterbait and it was her and
11:22
her husband, and I guess people were apparently tipping her to perform various acts
11:28
with her husband. She's forties, she's got two kids, and apparently there's
11:33
a dozen or so videos at least of record of her performing these particular acts
11:41
with her husband. So once I guess she went decided to run for office.
11:46
The videos got archived and there were apparently some that were found. Some
11:50
have released them to the public saying, hey, this is somebody that's running
11:52
for office now. And she says that she won't be intimidated or silenced.
11:58
And she also says, this is a quote from her my political opponents and
12:03
their Republican allies have proven they're willing to commit a sex crime and attack me
12:09
and my family because there's no line they want cross to silence women when they
12:13
speak up. And I guess what she's talking about as being a crime comes
12:18
from her attorney, a guy named Daniel Watkins, and he says that anybody
12:22
spreading these videos around could fall under Virginia's revenge porn law, a class one
12:30
misdemeanor. Watkins says, we're working closely with state and federal law enforcement.
12:37
That sounds like she's admitting that was a true thing, right, I mean,
12:41
I don't. I can't pretend. There's a lot of laws I don't
12:46
know a lot about. Right, There's a lot of things in general I
12:50
don't know a lot about. And I am very candid with you when one
12:56
of those things comes along, and I can tell you I don't know much
13:00
about, you know, algebra, as the song goes, I definitely don't
13:07
know a whole lot about various criminal cases that have come and gone where people
13:13
say, oh my gosh, I know for certain this person is guilty,
13:16
or I know for certain they didn't commit this crime. It was committed by
13:20
whoever. I know for certain that Paul Paul and Mall Mall and whatever that
13:26
thing was in South Carolina, and they know they knew everything that happened before
13:31
the trial even started. They didn't even need to hear the evidence. They
13:33
knew he was guilty. Those kinds of things. I'll tell you this,
13:39
and I'm just being completely honest here. I don't know anything about revenge porn
13:43
law. My understanding about the way revenge porn works is and I think it's
13:48
it's it's nature. Let me see if this, uh, I guess this
13:54
may be a link to the actual law. I want to pull it up,
13:58
but it basically says that unlawful This is from the Code of Virginia eighteen
14:05
point two Dash three eight six point two, if you want to look it
14:09
up. In the Code, Unlawful dissemination or sale of images of another penalty
14:16
any person who would, the intent to course, harass, or intimidate maliciously
14:22
disseminates or sells any videographic or still image created by any means whatsoever that depicts
14:28
the other person who is totally nude or in a state of undress, so
14:33
as to expose all right, some of these words I don't want to say,
14:37
they're really specific. Here where such person knows or has reason to know
14:43
that he this is filthy. This is a law. This is filth,
14:50
all right, we're all adults here. So as to expose the genitals,
14:52
pubic area, buttocks, or female breast where such person is in such person
15:01
knows or has reason to know that he has not licensed or authorized to disseminate
15:07
or sell such videographic or still image is guilty of a Class one misdemeanor.
15:11
So there you go. That's what the law says. So says if they
15:18
use services of an Internet service provider or electronic mail service provider, or any
15:24
other information service system or access software provider that provides or enables I know this
15:30
is just like reading law, isn't it. Basically I think she counts as
15:37
the one who distributed the content, right, If she's the one who produced
15:39
it and put it on it was a chatterbait, then I guess to me,
15:46
isn't that where the you know, if she did it herself, I
15:52
think that would constitute as the part where I don't know it is pointing out
15:56
the fact that it exists out there. See my understand You see that.
16:00
I'm glad I clicked on this. My understanding of what revenge porn was and
16:04
the laws for it is when you know someone is dating someone, for example,
16:11
and then you know, they maybe make a video with or without the
16:15
consent of the other person, and then they break up, and then they
16:19
put that content out on the on the innerwebs as to embarrass or blackmail or
16:26
whatever. So anyway, I don't know, I don't know if this would
16:30
hold up. But this is the case that they're trying to make, but
16:33
I don't I don't know that making the case that this is revenge porn.
16:37
Spreading it around makes her more of a victim or does it, just like
16:41
I said, does it just make her seem more guilty of this particular thing.
16:47
I don't know what are your thoughts on that. That's what it sounds
16:48
like to me. She's admitting to it, and it says they're having an
16:56
election on November seventh. She'll take on David Owen, he's the Republican And
17:03
you know, will those videos have an impact on the campaign. I don't
17:07
know. We'll see. Today's show brought to you by Columbia State University's Coca
17:11
Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
17:18
STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean, they do it
17:23
for school age kids, as school aged kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science
17:27
Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn
17:33
engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are
17:38
booming right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on
17:45
their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
17:52
their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe
17:57
School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
18:02
any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things
18:07
that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this
18:11
really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction
18:15
that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science
18:22
Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates
18:27
for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Nights coming up.
18:32
Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space
18:36
Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights, you don't
18:40
any light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:45
Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Shaan Cruzen says
18:49
Charlie Charlie Sam Sam Charlie dot org. I just remind you that it stands
18:55
for Coca Cola Space Science Center cc SSC dot org. Today's show brought to
19:02
you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus for all of your garage door needs,
19:06
commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
19:12
always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
19:18
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
19:22
away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
19:26
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:30
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you
19:33
need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
19:37
new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens
19:42
and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder
19:48
or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
19:52
looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:56
door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space as
20:00
a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like to work
20:04
on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man
20:07
caved you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite all
20:11
the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and again
20:14
they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your
20:18
car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody
20:22
to come help, And they do those as well. Seven oh sixty five

DC Columbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after the break all right.
20:45
A new study says that you should listen to something like music, perhaps
20:53
a podcast, while you start your day, while having your morning cup of
20:59
coffee, doing your morning activities, your morning routines. And they say that
21:06
listening to I don't know, maybe this podcast every morning can elevate brain activity
21:11
and put your brain in a state that allows for more productivity and focus.
21:15
It doesn't specifically the study, just to be clear, doesn't specifically mention this
21:19
podcast, but it does mention like music, doing something that pleases you as
21:27
you start the day, like listening to something pleasant or you know, having
21:33
your cup of coffee, or maybe listening to it while having a cup.
21:34
Some people tell me that they like to listen to this show while they have
21:37
their morning cup of coffee. It seems like a good combination to me.
21:42
How much the pet owners and their pets bond during the pandemic, well,
21:47
a new survey says quite a bit. Forty percent of pet owners survey it
21:51
said that they would take a cut in pay if that meant they could work
21:53
from home and be with their pets. Pet Owners said they started missing their
21:59
pet just thirty seven minutes after leaving them and think about them at least thirteen
22:03
times a day. And it's not just pet owners. Pets got used to
22:07
the humans being around as well. Forty two percent of pet parents said they've
22:11
noticed to change in their pets mental health and behavior over the last two years,
22:15
and forty four percent said respondents said they worry about their pets experiencing separation
22:19
anxiety. Forty eight percent said that their pets follow them to the door and
22:26
look sad when they leave the house. I think that's just normal, though,
22:29
isn't it. I don't know that that's pandemic related. Thirty three percent
22:32
said their pets wine when they leave, and twenty two percent said they get
22:34
really anxious and pace. Around zero percent of pets responded to the survey.
22:41
I thought at one point they were going to say the pets responded to something
22:44
and that's why they're that in there, and it's not a good sign for
22:48
the pets or the pet owners because according to a report from resume Builder,
22:52
which surveyed one thousand company leaders, found that ninety percent of companies planned to
22:56
return to the office next year. Eighty three percent of bosses whose companies have
23:00
returned to the office say that they currently track employee attendance, and seventy percent
23:07
of respondents whose companies planning to return to the office in twenty twenty four said
23:11
that they will also track employee attendance. Company leaders believe that returning to the
23:15
office in twenty twenty four will improve the company in a number of ways.
23:19
Eighty one percent say that will improve revenue, eighty one percent said they believe
23:23
it will improve company culture, eighty three percent said it will improve worker productivity
23:30
to encourage employees to return to in person work, Seventy two percent of bosses
23:33
said the company will offer commuter benefits that sounds a right. Fifty seven percent
23:38
said childcare benefits would be coming and sixty four percent said that they would provide
23:44
catered meals. There's no such thing as free lunch. Twenty eight percent said
23:48
their company will threaten to fire employees who don't comply with return to office mandates,
23:53
So get ready for that. And oh, here we go. Gatorade
23:59
as a brand new drink that's coming soon. It's called water, Yeah,
24:04
Gatorade water flavorless alkaline water, which will be referred to as functional water filtered
24:11
through a seven step enhanced filtration process. It's got some added sodium, enhanced
24:17
pH levels electrolytes scheduled to arrive in stores early next year, just in time
24:23
to kick off the new year. Be ready to go? All right?
24:27
Finally, your favorite Hostess snack cakes are now your favorite Smucker snack cakes,
