The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day,
0:06
and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, eighteenth
0:11
day of April. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me. No luck on
0:17
the blue milk yesterday. Looked a few places, struck out. Tried to
0:22
look online. They've got a thing that says fine if you have it in
0:25
your stores near you. No luck there. I did see where a couple
0:31
of local stores on their website said that they were out of stock the day
0:35
before. I couldn't find any information about it being out of stock yesterday,
0:41
so I thought, well, at least pop in. Maybe that means they've
0:44
got them in stock. I'll just go. They're not showing up anywhere on
0:47
the app or any of that. No, no luck. Didn't try a
0:51
lot of places, but I tried a few and had no luck. So
0:54
I'm talking about True Move. That's the brand has in honor of supporting Star
1:00
Wars Day this year. Just be honest. It's about selling some extra milk,
1:04
That's what it is. They're having the blue Bantham milk from Star Wars
1:10
that Luke Skywalker drank and the og Star Wars also known as Episode four,
1:17
you know, but it was originally called Star Wars when it came out,
1:21
right, I'm not one of those snobs about it though, you know,
1:23
a new hope it's eventually the title that they gave it. Originally it was
1:27
Star Wars, but it was still episode for But you know, some people
1:33
get snobby about it. They want to just call it Star Wars, and
1:36
you can call it star Wars, but it's all there's a lot of Star
1:38
Wars now. There's a whole lot of Star Wars now. Okay, So
1:45
no luck with the milk. If you found any, please let me know.
1:47
I'd love to hear from you if you found some of the blue milk
1:49
out somewhere. And I'm not expecting you to go looking now, just you
1:53
know, if you find it, maybe this weekend, maybe you're doing some
1:56
shopping at some point. I'd love to know where I might find some of
2:00
the true MoU blue milk. Apparently that's the milk they have in the schools,
2:04
but they're not having the blue milk, which is really just vanilla milk
2:07
colored blue. That's all it is. Sorry to be the big the bear
2:09
of the bad news, and it's nothing fancy. It's nothing special. Does
2:13
it mean that I don't want to find it and that I don't want to
2:16
purchase some, you know, because that's what I'd like to do. I
2:22
don't know why, I really don't. It's just vanilla milk. I've got
2:25
vanilla, I've got blue food coloring. I can make it myself at home,
2:30
but for some reason, I just want some. I don't know what
2:32
the deal is, but I just do. All right. That's where I'm
2:36
at. That's where I'm at on this Thursday morning. One other little thing.
2:42
I just like to lob out there. And I don't necessarily say this
2:46
every time that it happens, because it happens pretty freak well. I see
2:52
him pretty regularly at events and things and out and about. We text each
2:58
other very regularly. We don't often talk on the phone. I think partly
3:02
because neither one of us are big talk on the phone people. Right with
3:07
the introduction of the text message, it's become very easy to keep in touch
3:13
with people, very dear friends that you know, you don't have to get
3:16
on the phone and have a long conversation. I'll tell you this, and
3:22
any of my friends know this. I think I would assume they know this.
3:27
I'm aware of it at the very least. I'm not great at getting
3:30
off the phone with people. I'm very awkward about it. I struggle with
3:34
it, so I don't often put people through that, or myself through that.
3:38
I don't even like calling in orders for food. When we do carry
3:42
out food, Jill and I have an arm wrestling match basically over who's going
3:46
to have to call and order the food. Most recently though, and it's
3:51
kind of like in like college basketball, you know, the arrow now goes
3:54
the other way. Most recently, I got Jill to order, and now
3:59
the arrow's pointed towards me. That's kind of where we're at with it,
4:01
I guess. But I had a really good conversation with my good friend Scott
4:08
Miller yesterday. And I know many of you that listened to this show listened
4:13
to Scott and I on the air for a very very long time. I
4:16
mean, you know, whatever, thirteen years whatever it was we were on
4:23
the radio together, oh seven to twenty twenty thirteen years, right, and
4:31
friends long before that. One of my mentors in radio, someone who's given
4:35
me great advice over the years. But we've been friends a very very long
4:40
time, and he contacted me about coming to work with him, and I
4:46
said, absolutely it was I jumped at the opportunity to work with him and
4:49
ultimately co host a show with him. That was one of the great thrills
4:54
of my career and surely one of the great thrills of his career. I'm
4:58
just kidding, but people ask about him all the time, how Scott doing?
5:02
And I think I should mention sometime, but it feels awkward for me
5:05
to just bring him up randomly on this show. But I know many of
5:10
you used to listen to us together. Many of you were concerned when he
5:15
disappeared from the radio when it was just me and then here. I've had
5:20
him on here. I'd love to have him on very regularly. He's really
5:24
busy doing He's still doing Columbus State sports, doing baseball and softball and basketball.
5:30
At times, he was juggling a bunch at one time, But anyway,
5:34
we had a few minutes to chat yesterday and he's doing well. I
5:38
just want to let everybody know that everybody asked me how Scott doing, and
5:42
this is just my chance to sort of bring it up in a way that
5:46
makes sense. So there you go. All right, So let's talk a
5:50
little bit about I mentioned this kind of yesterday very briefly, but the Republicans
5:59
attempt to to impeach Alejandro majorcis right. That was the goal, was to
6:06
bring the Republicans in the House, move things over to the Senate, and
6:12
the Senate of course, predictably, there was no chance that the Senate Democrats
6:16
were actually going to even consider the Department of Homeland Security Secretary's impeachment that Republicans
6:25
were asking for. I mention this because I do feel it's important to say
6:31
a couple of things. And I've talked about impeachments before and my thoughts on
6:35
impeachments and what they're supposed to be for and what they've actually become. They've
6:43
become this weaponized thing that you know, you can go back. I don't.
6:48
I can't speak a lot to pre Clinton impeachments, and I don't because
6:55
to me, that's kind of a different era of it. You might even
6:59
make the case that the the Clinton impeachment was kind of in its own realm,
7:08
but I think it's all part of it. I think that that impeachment
7:11
happened. I think that a lot of people got their feelings hurt very much
7:15
about Clinton's impeachment, and it was obviously this major news story. And I
7:26
know some of you listening maybe weren't alive then don't remember it. Some of
7:30
you remember it very vividly. But it turned into a case, and it
7:35
was very interesting to hear these accusations and then ultimately led to charges against him,
7:44
and then many women coming out and saying some saying that he had raped
7:47
them, some saying that he had sexually assaulted them. It was interesting even
7:54
in the when it was just, oh my gosh, he was, you
7:57
know, fooling around inappropriately with an intern in the Oval office, and there
8:05
were people who just said, there's no way, no way that he did
8:09
this. This is just something that Republicans had fabricated. It's interesting now that
8:13
we were in a time, or we were in a time of you have
8:16
to believe all women. But then you know, it was attack her,
8:24
attack the other women who ultimately accused him. But the charges came up,
8:28
the hearing happened, he was acquitted, and the country, you think,
8:33
kind of moved on. There was a period of time when I was overseas
8:37
and people were asking me about it. It was embarrassing. You don't want
8:39
to have your president going through that. Whether you voted for him or not,
8:43
whether you liked him or not, you didn't want the country going through
8:48
that. That used to be the sentiment. That was my feelings, and
8:52
I was young, but that was my feelings when people were asking me about
8:56
it when I was overseas. Then it turned in to a thing. George
9:03
W. Bush becomes president. People said they didn't like the fact that the
9:07
election was so close that he won Florida. They said that he cheated that
9:11
he was There are a lot of election deniers, a lot of them that
9:16
were involved, and many of them hailed and loved and John Lewis one of
9:22
them. There were people that just beloved people that denied that George W.
9:28
Bush ever actually won the presidency. And then there were people screaming that he
9:33
should be impeached for that. They couldn't say why, they didn't say what
9:35
the charges should be, but there were calls that he should be impeached because
9:39
he didn't really win, so impeach him. Then we had Barack Obama's president,
9:46
and people started screaming that he should be impeached. They didn't really know
9:50
why. They didn't have any real accusation. It was just, you know,
9:54
he should be impeached. Well, why do you think you should be?
9:56
I don't know. He shouldn't be the president. He he doesn't really
9:58
have a burse certificate. We don't know where he was born. We don't
10:01
know what the story is. He should be impeached. Even when you would
10:07
say to those people, his mom was an American citizen. He was an
10:11
American citizen. That's all you need to know. That's all it takes.
10:13
If one of your parents is an American citizen, you are an American citizen.
10:18
It doesn't matter where you're born. And when the birth certificate from Hawaii
10:22
showed up, a lot of people have picked it apart. Oh, this
10:24
is suspect, it's not real. Again, shouldn't matter. His mom was
10:28
an American. That's all that mattered. He was an American. But people
10:31
wanted him impeach. Oh, he should be impeached. He's questionable. And
10:33
that would have been horrible, by the way, that would have been the
10:37
worst decision in one hundred years in our country, at least, to impeach
10:43
the first black president. That would have been ridiculous and so bad. I
10:50
mean so bad. Then we had obviously Donald Trump becomes president. Oh,
11:00
we got to impeach him. Well what for, I don't know. We're
11:03
going to find something. We promised you. We campaigned on the promises that
11:07
we would impeach him. We were going to get him. So we're going
11:09
to impeach him. We're going to find some reason to impeach him. And
11:13
they did, and he was acquitted. And we learned over the years that
11:20
the whole basis for that impeachment was a farce and ridiculous. But it happened
11:26
because we were just we've become bloodthirsty on this payback impeachment thing. That's what
11:31
people want to see. Some people want to see it. So then he
11:37
was on his way out of office and people said, ah, we got
11:39
to impeach him again, and that'll really embarrass him. That'll make it hard
11:43
for him to win a reelection if he runs again. If we impeach him
11:46
again, and then he'll be the first president ever to be impeached twice.
11:52
Wouldn't that be embarrassing? And again acquit it. There's no convictions on it.
11:58
So it's one of those deals where we talk about, uh, you
12:01
know, someone who goes on trial and then they're acquitted, and then we
12:07
say, well, they had their time, they're they're acquitted, you know,
12:11
and nobody wants to admit that he was acquitted. That People like to
12:16
use the acquitted about Bill Clinton. They say, oh, he was acquitted,
12:20
he was charged, he was acquitted. You know, he stayed in
12:22
office. Trump was charged twice. Some people like to say twice impeached.
12:30
It's embarrassing. It's the first time it ever happened. So now we have
12:35
Republicans that were trying to impeach the Department of Homeland Secretary's secretary Security secretary and
12:46
basically saying that he wasn't doing his job concerning the border crisis. It's a
12:50
valid point, but this notion of we're going to impeach him, uh and
12:58
throw him out of office is a bit absurd. There was no chance that
13:03
that was going to happen, just like there was no chance that Donald Trump
13:05
was ever going to be found guilty in either of those cases. For a
13:09
minute, it kind of looked like Clinton might have been, but of course
13:11
we knew that wasn't really going to happen. I don't think in retrospect it
13:16
was a different time then, But in retrospect, we know that was never
13:20
going to happen. But now we can look at things there a different lens.
13:26
We knew Trump was never going to be convicted. We knew that Majorcus
13:31
was not going to be thrown out of office. He wasn't going to be
13:33
convicted. So what Republicans had ready in the quiver, if you will,
13:41
the arrow that was ready was this statement from Republican Conference Chairman John Barrosso from
13:48
Wyoming, every Democrat will pay a heavy price in November for willfully refusing to
13:54
end this border crisis. That's the statement that that's the takeaway, that's the
14:01
sentiment. Look, I call things on both sides. I call things when
14:05
I see them. I can't sit back and say that the two impeachments of
14:13
Donald Trump, which were just for show, which were just for political mileage.
14:18
This current trial that's in progress now in New York, the hush money
14:24
trial, is that's more than just a show. That's a let's get a
14:30
conviction and try to embarrass people if they say they would vote for a convicted
14:33
felon. But this was the endgame plan for Republicans. They wanted to get
14:39
to a point where they could use this for political leverage. Will it work?
14:45
Are many Americans absolutely fed up with what's going on at the border.
14:52
And we talked about the border yesterday, But is it enough? Is that
15:00
going to be enough? And the Barasso said, isn't the only one who
15:11
had things to say? I got a few more in here. Let's see
15:16
joint statement from Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, as well as
15:24
Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Republican Conference Chairwoman at least dephonic the American people will
15:31
hold Senate Democrats accountable for this shameful display. Also from Senator Roger Marshall from
15:39
Kansas. History will not be forgiving of Democrats decisions to table. That's hearing.
15:45
The American people will hold majorcus accountable at the ballot box this November.
15:50
John Cornyn from Texas Senator said that it was basically they disregarded their duty to
15:58
the American people by not moving forward with this. So this is a strategy,
16:07
This is a game plan. This is part of politics that we're seeing
16:11
in action. Again, I call out Democrats when they do it. I
16:14
feel like it's only fair that I call out Republicans when they do it,
16:21
I think it's all part of the show. It's all part of the dance
16:26
that will go on between now in November. I'm not saying that it's not
16:30
valid, and I'm not saying that after the two ridiculously orchestrated hit job impeachments
16:38
of Trump, that this isn't justified. I can't say that, but I
16:44
do think that this is something that was pushed along so that we could get
16:48
to this endgame. I don't think they expected this to move forward. I
16:51
certainly don't think they expected there to be any sort of conviction in him removed
16:55
from office. I think they made their point. I think they made their
16:59
point in a way that I don't know if it's going to move anything at
17:02
the ballot box. We'll see. I appreciate them laying it out there for
17:07
us now, because that's what they've done. They've explained, this is why
17:11
we did it. We wanted to show you we care and they don't.
17:15
But we'll see if it has any bearing on it, well, any of
17:18
all of the dance and shenanigans have any bearing on it. We'll have to
17:22
wait till November. Today show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola

And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot
18:03
org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs.
18:07

you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching
18:22
it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus,
18:26
Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here
18:32
in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center And the new

season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows,
18:42
and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you can get
18:47
outside. Sometimes you do it at the Co Cola Space Science Center. Sometimes
18:51
you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:56
and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their
19:00
website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie

Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
19:17
Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe
19:22
you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
19:29
on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead
19:33
Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and
19:37
while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe
19:41
cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal
19:45
isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done
19:49
to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely.
19:53
Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's
19:59
some sort of insul issue that you've got. With colder warmer weather, sometimes
20:03
that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
20:07
you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can
20:11
put down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but
20:17
indoor. You know, if you like to work on your own cars in
20:19
there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be
20:22
able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They
20:26
can do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
20:30
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage
20:34
and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, And
20:38
they do those as well. Seven oh six thorty five eight forty five hundred,

20:48
West Carol Morning Show right after the break Well, if you've ever wanted to
21:00
own a goat, Now is the time because you can get as many goats
21:04
as you like, all for free. All you have to do is travel
21:11
to Italy. There's a small Italian island called Ali Couti, and you can
21:18
take one goat, you can take two goats. You can take many goats
21:22
if you want. You'd be doing the island a favor. They've got a
21:26
goat population that's gotten completely out of control and there are now six times as
21:32
many goats as people on the island. Mayor Ricardo Gulo launched his Adopt a
21:37
Goat program to encourage goat lovers to come and take them off the island.
21:44
Did you think when he was running for mayor it ever crossed his mind that
21:47
he might someday begin an adopt a goat program and his role as mayor.
21:53
I doubt that he thought of that before he became mayor. He says,
21:59
anyone can make a request for a goat. It doesn't have to be a
22:02
farmer. There are no restrictions on numbers. He added that while no one
22:07
will be questioned about what they plan to do with their adopted goats, their
22:11
hope is that the animals will become domesticated pets and not food. There's a
22:18
few food things that you can get as goat milk, goat cheese, goat
22:26
meat. I mean, there's things you can get from goat. I'm not
22:27
saying that anyone should do that, but aren't there places in the world where
22:33
these goats could be taken to be used as food, Because I think there
22:37
are places where having goat is considered a fine delicacy, So that seems to
22:44
be that would be an option rather than just the adopted goat. But I
22:47
understand they don't want to corral them all up and throw them like in a
22:49
big box and ship them somewhere. If you're the type to visit a casino
22:56
and spend hours playing the slots hoping for that one big win, that one
23:03
big jackpot, well how about this unnamed who's chosen to be anonymous gambler who
23:14
was at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas last week or a couple of weeks ago,
23:18
in the last this month and decided to try the Dragonlink slot machine and
23:25
won one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Now you would think I know
23:30
someone who has won a million dollars in a scratch off lottery ticket. I
23:33
know someone who did that. I would have thought at that point, you
23:38
go, I'm done. This is it. I don't need to buy any
23:41
more scratch offs. I don't need to buy any more lottery tickets. I've
23:45
won. I've accomplished what I hoped to do when I started playing scratch offs
23:52
years ago. Now I don't know how many scratch offs he'd purchased over the
23:56
years, but I know someone who won, and God is six hundred and
24:00
whatever thousand dollars after taxes, and he continues to play the lottery. But
24:07
that's apparently not ridiculously unheard of, because the same is true of this person
24:12
who won one hundred twenty five thousand dollars and said, let's stick around a
24:17
little longer, play some more, and went to a different Dragon Link machine
24:22
and won a jackpot of three hundred eighty three thousand, five hundred dollars,
24:27
and I guess placed a went to another machine, third machine, one hundred
24:36
and fifty nine, two hundred and fifty dollars, a total of six hundred
24:40
sixty seven thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars on three wins on slot machines,
24:48
and it all happened within three hours. Lucky streak wasn't over just yet.
24:53
A few days later, this same player, with you know, two
25:00
thirds of a million dollars in their pocket, decided I'm gonna go back try
25:06
again, placed a twenty five hundred dollars bet on the machine, and one
25:10
again. This time it was a total prize of six hundred and ninety two
25:15
thousand, five hundred dollars. So at this point, you know, maybe
25:21
it's uh, I don't know. I guess if you keep winning, you
25:23
might as well keep trying. You got some money to throw around if you
25:27
want to gamble, and you want to take another shot. I suppose.

I mean, who am I to say? I might have walked away after
25:33
the first win and would have missed out on all that other stuff, missed
25:38
out on all the other stuff had I walked away. So I guess they
25:45
did well, you know, they did just fine. How about this?
25:52
The world's first ever Ai beauty pageant was held. Were entirely fake models?
25:59
Well, it's going to be held, I should say. It's been set
26:00
up. Entirely fake models will compete for a chance to be crowned Miss Ai
26:04
and win a prize of twenty thousand dollars. Who gets the money? Was
26:07
it the guy with the slot machine or gal? In this they're anonymous.
26:12
It's happening at the online Fanview World AI Creator Awards. The WAI c's the
26:22
Yact CUZ next month. I guess the person who designs the girl wins.
26:30
I don't know how that works exactly, but good luck, guys and gals.
26:34
I guess the creators could be gals, but the models count as.
26:40
I don't know how this works. I don't know how to feel about any
26:42
of this, except to just wonder when Skynett goes online. I guess that's
26:51
all I need to know. That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the
26:53
show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll
