Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:07
Tuesday morning, seventh day of May. I'm Wes. Thanks for joining me,
0:13
Siette Demayo. Sometimes it's fun to see how long we can keep it
0:18
going. I know I got Ocho locked in. Just be prepared for that.
0:24
Tomorrow. Well we are, I guess, working our way closer to
0:33
graduation ceremonies for high schools colleges. Colleges will be our main focus because I'm
0:42
not aware of there being any major protesting or anything happening in any of the
0:48
high schools. I don't know that I've heard that. Have you heard that?
0:50
I haven't heard anything about it happening in any high schools, although it
0:54
wouldn't surprise me. Remember, we've had orchestrated walkouts for kids in high schools.
1:00
They were told that they should, you know, walk out in protests
1:03
of things. But that was for that was so four years ago. That
1:07
was so four years ago. But here we are in an election year with
1:11
another round of protests, another round of just feeling like things are so out
1:19
of balance and confusion and just feeling like we're getting further along in these moments
1:29
of I mean, I've heard people use the word that at times it feels
1:34
like these are insurrectionists, people that want to overthrow the government. I know
1:38
that that term is reserved for specifically political talk. So let's talk about a
1:47
couple of things that have happened in the last little bit. I know there
1:53
have been the protests that have popped up on campuses. We've had I think,
2:00
honestly, in the beginning, probably some genuine This is just my opinion.
2:05
I can't say for certain, but I believe in some of these cases
2:08
we have had some genuine grassroots people that said, I want to go and
2:15
stand up for the Palestinians. I believe that there are some people who that
2:23
was their intention. There probably still are some people that that is their intention.
2:29
I do not believe that that is largely what we've had going on.
2:30
And what is definitely going on now is very political. It's very funded by
2:39
a number of people that have made this what it was four years ago.
2:45
The again my opinions, and we're starting to see some of the receipts of
2:50
people like George Soros and from the Rockefellers. We're starting to see money and
2:57
the paper trail of money that support. It's a lot of Democrat causes that
3:00
is giving money specifically, according to reports to these groups. And it's pretty
3:10
obvious when what starts out as a handful of students that are standing out and
3:16
they're they're holding out flags and they want to show their support, and when
3:23
things start to turn to you know, references to I'm not going to say
3:29
the specific things, but you know what they've been saying the specific represent uh
3:32
references to Zionists not being welcome, to eliminating the Israeli state, to eliminating
3:42
the Jews, to killing the Jews, any of that terminology. I don't
3:46
understand why any of that has been tolerated in any capacity. And I think
3:51
a lot of Americans are asking why why has this been allowed to happen?
3:55
And I understand when you start talking about young people and you start talking about
4:04
that first group of voters, potential voters that would be getting out and voting
4:10
for the first time, that's where we've run into this thing of allowing them
4:16
to protest. Because I do believe this current administration, many Democrats that are
4:23
in Congress they don't want to upset any of these people because they feel like
4:29
they're going to need them in November, Okay, and I went through a
4:34
lot of that last week. There's a need. They need them to be
4:40
there for them when it comes time to actually cast a vote, and they
4:45
know these are people that we're probably going to vote for them. Anyway.
4:48
They've done a lot, They've made a lot. There's a reason why the
4:54
left targets schools and educational systems, especially colleges. There's a reason that they've
4:59
worked their way into the high schools they want to do that. I've talked
5:02
here on this show before about the fact that I know someone who used to
5:10
be a high school teacher and proudly said, I'm doing everything I can,
5:15
and this is locally, doing everything I can to convert all of my students,
5:20
not just into left leaning Democrats, but into Marxist communists, Okay,
5:29
from their mouth to my ears, and proudly said it, proudly said,
5:35
this is what I do for a living. Now. My bosses think that
5:41
what I'm doing is teaching kids, but what I'm doing is converting them.
5:47
This person is not a teacher anymore anywhere. Okay, if that makes you
5:53
feel any better about the situation, This person is no longer a teacher in
5:57
any capacity at all. But not because this person was outed with management in
6:05
the school system, in the school district. This is not because principles were
6:10
made aware. This is not because the school board was made aware. That
6:14
is not why this person is not a teacher anymore. But my point is
6:17
when you hear these stories around the country and people say as are rare exceptions,
6:24
they don't happen around here, and that's not something that happens in our
6:30
back yard. I'm just telling you that it has, it does, and
6:35
that it is something that at any point can rear its head. And then
6:41
when you start hearing stories about, you know, going after middle and elementary
6:45
school kids, whether it's with books that are in the libraries of those schools,
6:50
whether it is you've seen on various social media outlets. There's the one.
6:58
I don't like to mention it by name because I'm not a fan,
7:00
But on TikTok, you got the people that will get on there and talk
7:04
about how they're making sure their kids that they teach are aware of a queer
7:10
agendas and that they want to talk to them about that. So we have
7:15
gotten a situation where this is all about cranking out the future. That's what
7:19
this is. This is about getting the future motivated, revolutionary and ready to
7:27
show up and be voters the way that they're supposed to be. This is
7:31
that constant state of revolution that Karl Marx talked about, and that was the
7:38
goal for Marxism, for communism, constant state of revolution. That's what they
7:42
want, and that's what this has turned into. So when you've got people
7:45
that are donating tents, and that's the thing about this is, you know,
7:50
if you want to sit there and you want to say that this is
7:54
all grassroots and this is all genuine, what you would see in some of
7:59
these tent cities, In some of the early ones, they look to be
8:03
just kind of initially, you know, some random tents. Maybe a few
8:07
of the students went and bought tents, maybe they already had them. But
8:11
in the beginning, some of these encampments looked almost like homeless encampments. They
8:20
had a set up and they were there. Then all of a sudden,
8:22
as this started to escalate, more and more schools got involved, especially ones
8:26
that had some money. That's when you started to see, you know,
8:31
five hundred of the same tent get thrown up and no real explanation of where
8:35
the tents came from. How did they just show up? Where did the
8:39
tents come from? Oh, and you've got signage that was cranked out,
8:43
printed out at a promise, I won't say cranked out too much more,
8:46
that was printed out at some print shops somewhere professionally with and if you notice
8:52
too, a lot of times when people go up and try to talk to
8:56
the people that are protesting, that are the anti Israel pro Palestine protesters,
9:01
And I'm specifically talking I'm not want I want to be clear on this.
9:07
It's possible to say for someone that they want the best for the Palestinian people.
9:15
They've got heritage there, they've got family there, they want the best
9:18
for them. It's possible to want that without wanting the elimination and murder and
9:24
rape of Jewish people in Israel. Okay, that's possible. So I want
9:31
to be clear that that's not who I'm talking about, anybody who has genuinely
9:35
been outspoken about just wanting the But if you if you're pro terrorism in any
9:41
capacity, even on US soil, even on college campuses, that's what I'm
9:46
talking about. So you go to them, reporters go to them, put
9:52
a microphone out, and they say, you want to talk about why you're
9:54
here, what your cause is, And they don't want to talk about it.
9:56
They don't really know what the talking points are. We're not talking about
10:01
a grass You take a grassroots movement and you get enough people together, there's
10:05
going to be I would say every at least maybe four or five people.
10:09
You got at least somebody in that group that can be somewhat of a spokesperson.
10:15
They can step up to a microphone and talk about what the cause is
10:18
and what their hopes and intentions and plans are. There's someone who can do
10:22
that. If it's a true grassroots movement, you're bringing in people that have
10:28
a like mind. They want the same things. If you're showing up because
10:33
someone's cutting a check for you to be there and they're paying you, you
10:37
might not know what the cause is. Maybe you didn't get the employee orientation
10:41
procedure. You don't know what you're supposed to say to the media. So
10:46
when the same tensa al pop up and then you know a lot of the
10:50
same signs are showing up at all these different schools, somebody's buying this stuff
10:56
in bulk. Somebody's calling up Calls or Sam's and going, oh I need
11:01
I'm not throwing them in it, but just whatever generic large box store.
11:07
Hey, we're gonna need ten thousand tents and we need some cent here,
11:11
and we need some cent there. And some of the schools have been breaking
11:16
it up, but some of the schools are fighting back. Enter Ole miss
11:20
as Ole miss has students that are counter protesting, and they're not the only
11:28
one. But this of course has gotten another big story that came from it
11:35
because a student, a frat boy if you will, was making some sort
11:41
of racist gestures in the direction of one of the pro Palestinian students and has
11:46
now been kicked out of their fraternity. And it caused people to say,
11:50
ah, look at this. These anti anti pro Palestinian protesters whatever they're calling
11:58
clearly is all about racism. That's what it's all about. This isn't about
12:03
right and wrong. They just want to be racist at ole miss. I
12:09
look, hey, this is I wondered in the past when we were going
12:15
to have some sort of large organized protest where the other side was the common
12:20
sense people that just said we just want civility and peace, and if for
12:26
us to have civility and peace we have to show up and be loud and
12:30
annoying also, then we're willing to do that. Here. It is.
12:35
Here it is. Let's be honest. During Black Lives Matter during twenty twenty,
12:39
during the election cycle, you weren't going to get large groups of people
12:43
that were specifical not I mean you were gonna get You're gonna get some of
12:46
those groups. We go back to the whole Charlottesville thing. You know how
12:50
that went down. Somebody who could just be and I know we had a
12:54
few situations, we obviously had what happened in Wisconsin. But I'm talking about
13:01
something from a standpoint of being able to just stand there, be peaceful,
13:05
and try to back people down in larger numbers than the people who are there
13:11
protesting. You wondered when this might actually happen from a true grassroots standpoint,
13:16
because see the people at all miss, these students, they're doing this on
13:22
their own, and this isn't Hey, I'm going to go get a rifle
13:26
and walk around and try to be some sort of law enforcement. We're not
13:31
talking about that situation. We're not talking about Kenosha. We're not talking about
13:37
any of that. I'm just talking about people standing there and saying, we're
13:39
going to stand on the other side of the barricade. We're going to have
13:43
our protest, and we're going to show you that there are people who actually
13:48
do still stand up for our Jewish brothers and sisters, that do stand up
13:54
for Israel, that do stand up for what's right. We're going to be
13:58
here and we're going to do this. The other part of all of this
14:01
that amazes me is starting to see stories about students saying, I don't understand
14:11
my professors won't give me more time to get ready for my finals. I'm
14:16
in danger of not graduating because I don't have time to protest and take my
14:24
finals. I've even seen one student complaining because they may not get their final
14:30
records. They want to get all. They want to get their grades,
14:33
they want to get their diploma, and they want all because they want to
14:37
go on and get their master's degree. They need to show up with their
14:41
transcript, and they don't know if they're going to get their transcript because their
14:45
schools are threatening to hold them, because they've threatened to kick them out because
14:48
of the protesting. It's exhausting. It's exhausting. We don't have a sense
14:56
anymore of we have an obligation of things that we're supposed to do. We
15:01
have an order of things that we're supposed to do. And showing up at
15:09
a paid protest, I mean, I don't know how many of the people
15:13
that are there are professional. I don't know how many of them are actual
15:16
students getting caught up in something that doesn't even belong on US soil. I
15:22
mean, back to my original question, what are we protesting. You don't
15:26
want these universities having anything to do with Israel. You don't want the US
15:31
government to send any money to Israel, you don't want any support for anything
15:37
that happens in Israel. You can go to Gaza. You can go to
15:41
Gaza and you can become a true part of the cause. If you want
15:45
to change things over there, you can go there and do it. Standing
15:50
on a campus trying to scare Jewish students who are trying to take their finals
15:54
and intimidate them. Again, we have a term for it, when you're
15:58
here and you're trying to scare people into doing what you want them to do
16:03
through fear, it's called terrorism. That's what it is. That's what it
16:10
was back in October when people were murdered in front of their families and raped
16:15
in front of their families, and children were kidnapped. And these people who've
16:18
been held as hostages, if there's any still alive, aren't being released.
16:25
But they're asking for a ceasefire without releasing those hostages. Why would they do
16:30
that. And we all continue to pray that they're still alive and that they
16:33
can be returned. But good for the students at all, miss good for
16:40
the students at any of the schools that are standing up against this. They
16:45
don't need to get themselves in trouble. They certainly don't need to be doing
16:48
a you know, you get one guy in there who does something racist and
16:51
makes a gesture and suddenly the whole thing gets lumped in with It doesn't have
16:56
to be that, And honestly, the other students there, the other members
17:02
of that fraternity, got to real that stuff in can't allow that to happen.
17:07
During this there was an instant I guess where some of the pro Palestinian
17:12
protesters threw something at the anti pro Palestinian I don't know what you're call on
17:19
the other side, how about pro Israeli or how about just pro freedom?
17:23
How about pro peace? But they threw a bottle of water and then things
17:27
started to get thrown. The police had to get involved. And that's why
17:30
this one has been the one that's been a little bit more high profile.
17:33
But this is something that needs to happen. When one side rises up and
17:40
says we're going to be hateful and we're going to say racist and anti Semitic
17:44
things, the people there need to stand up for them. And as I've
17:48
been saying to my Jewish brothers and sisters, can't These are people that are
17:56
being supported by the same people that are supporting Democrat candidates. They're being supported
18:03
by them, They're being funded by them. Just think before you run to
18:07
the ballots and do what you've always done, vote Democrat. Just think this
18:12
November about maybe supporting the other side that is pro Israel, that is pro
18:19
Jewish people, that is pro peace. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
18:25
State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future
18:33
STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages, I mean they
18:38
do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space
18:44
Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you can
18:48
learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and stem fields
18:55
are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
19:00
on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
19:07
of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the
19:12
Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's
19:17
unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those
19:22
things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is
19:26
this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city
19:30
attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
19:37
Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming
19:42
dates for the shows and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
19:48
Where you can get outside, sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space
19:51
Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't
19:56
want any light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night
20:00
events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
20:04
says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands
20:10
for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
20:17
by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
20:21
commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
20:27
always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
20:33
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
20:37
away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
20:41
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
20:45
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you
20:49
need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
20:52
new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens
20:57
and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With
21:03
colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe
21:07
you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your
21:11
garage door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space
21:15
as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
21:19
work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
21:22
man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite
21:26
all the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and
21:30
again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
21:33
your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need
21:37
somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven oh sixty
21:42
five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
21:47
dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break. Well,
22:00
we've heard time is money, but how much is our time actually worth?
22:07
A new survey by financial planning firm and Power sought to find out how
22:12
valuable we think our time is based on the responses of more than two thousand
22:18
people. Americans believe that an hour of their time is worth two hundred and
22:22
forty dollars. That's the minimum wage in California now. Based on a forty
22:27
hour work week, that would pay their salary four hundred and ninety nine thousand
22:32
dollars, which is about eight times higher than the average US salary. Millennials
22:37
put the highest value on their time, believing that their hour is worth three
22:41
hundred and twenty eight dollars. Twenty six percent of Americans, including forty one
22:47
percent of millennials, said that they'd take a fifteen percent pay cut for more
22:51
free time. So, uh yeah, that's uh. I mean an hour
23:00
of time. I guess it depends on which hour. If it's early in
23:04
life, you would think that hour may not quite be so valuable, but
23:10
you get towards the end, I think the value would go up. I'd
23:12
like to know the I know what they went by with millennials and that sort
23:18
of breakdown, but whether or not they actually talk to any seniors. I
23:22
would think for seniors that value may go up even more. Just a guess.
23:27
Packing for vacation can be frustrating and sometimes the toughest part of it is
23:33
finding the time to pack before your trip, figuring out what to take.
23:37
What if you didn't have to take any clothing at all. Enter the Big
23:41
Nude Boat, organized by Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, a clothing optional ship
23:48
that will deport from Miami in February and sail around the Caribbean until Valentine's Day.
23:53
Guests will be treated to a stress free, clothes free experience. There
23:57
are some rules though. Passengers merst wear clothes when the ship is docked,
24:02
but as soon as it sails out of the port that's when naked time begins.
24:08
Passengers must be clothed in all dining rooms, thank goodness, and when
24:12
sitting in a chair on the pool deck they must either wear a thong or
24:18
sit on a towel. There's a self served buffet which is on the pool
24:22
deck and that could be enjoyed naked. Also, photos and videos only be
24:27
permitted if everyone involved gives consent. So if that's your thing and you'd like
24:34
to go on a cruise in February and wrap things up around Valentine's Day,
24:41
I guess from the third until the fourteenth is the cruise, So there you
24:45
go, all right, this one's kind of surprising. I guess I think
24:51
we need to dig into this a little bit more. But apparently, according
24:55
to a surprising new study, social media they say is not making kids antisocial,
25:03
and they say that actually the less time they're actually social in real life
25:07
with their friends does not relate to how much time they spend on social media,
25:11
and it's actually the opposite. According to research done by the Norwegian University
25:17
of Science and Technology, kids who are active on social media actually spend more
25:21
time interacting with their friends and others in person than those who don't spend a
25:26
lot of time on social media. Professor oh gosh, look at this name.
25:33
Silj Steinbeck of the university's Department of Psychology says, we find that people
25:40
who use social media a lot spend more time with their friends online. All
25:49
right, So a few things I feel like this that need a little bit
25:53
more perspective on this. Spending time with their friends, sometimes, spending time
26:00
maybe with acquaintances. Are they spending are they counting time when they're interacting with
26:07
other people? And it's negative? I do question the and maybe this is
26:15
and I talked a little about this yesterday. I know when you sort of
26:18
have your bubble and your world that you're in, but you see people that
26:22
seem to be a little more brazen in public, and I feel like the
26:26
keyboard warrior mentality maybe is creating that for us, where we feel like we
26:30
just have to fire off our thoughts and every little thing that bothers us.
26:34
Every time a celebrity says something that we disagree with, we've got to comment
26:38
on it. So I don't know. I guess i'd like to know a
26:42
little bit more on this particular study. I may dig into that a little
26:45
bit more, because it's fascinating. If that's true, if kids, especially
26:49
