The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start your day.
0:06
You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Wednesday morning, seventeenth day
0:11
of April. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me. It's blue Milk Day.
0:16
More on that coming up. Just trust me, it's blue milk Day.
0:22
It's exciting. I'm excited about blue milk Day. And I don't know
0:25
why it's just vanilla milk, but we'll talk about that coming up. All
0:29
right. Former President Trump, of course, is now in the throes of
0:35
I guess they've done one round of jury selection. They picked six jurors.
0:38
He got a little slap on the wrist in court yesterday when apparently he made
0:44
some comment, did a hand gesture or something about one of the jurors.
0:47
I don't know the da Alvin Bragg, and I guess the judge of I
0:53
don't know if Bragg was calling for some sort of a contemptu charge or whatever,
1:00
but at least the judge, at the very least stepped in and said
1:04
that Trump needed to stop doing that. But now I guess they take a
1:07
break until Tuesday. So I don't know how all this works. I'm confused.
1:12
I saw it said that they'll come back on Tuesday. So I guess
1:15
at this point they've picked half of the jurors, they'll come back and work
1:19
on the others. That's my understanding at least of how this is going to
1:23
work. But one of the things that the former president says that if he
1:30
were to win reelection this year, that he will take care of he will
1:36
do everything he can to eliminate and Governor DeSantis is another candidate for president that
1:44
was running for the nomination who's out now. Of course, he said that
1:48
he would also look to end and challenge and that's in the fourteenth Amendment as
1:55
it is interpreted concerning birthright citizenship. We know we have a major problem at
2:02
our southern border. We have an influx, and that's not even doing a
2:07
justice. A mass entrance the opposite of a mass exodus of people who've come
2:13
into the country and have you know, they've just flooded in. They've been
2:20
scattered around. Thanks to the Texas Governor Abbott and others, they have been
2:27
a Governor DeSantis have spread people around the country, taking them primarily to sanctuary
2:34
cities or sanctuary states, places where they've said, oh, we'll welcome anybody.
2:39
And then of course New York City, one of those places it said
2:44
we'll welcome anybody, finally got to a point, tipping point where they said,
2:49
the mayor of New York said this too many people. We can't do
2:52
this. They would welcome everybody, just not everybody. I mean, basically
2:58
that's paraphrasing it. But when you get to a point where you've got just
3:00
too many people coming in, and I mean, really, what are you
3:04
going to do? There's not enough money. There's not enough money in those
3:07
places to do that. So we got a couple things to talk about when
3:13
it comes to birthright citizenship. Because the thing that frustrates me and I know
3:20
many Americans is when we hear these stories of undocumented people coming in, they
3:25
get, even the ones that they seem to be taking some sort of sort
3:30
of tabs on, Ultimately they get we'll contact you about some sort of a
3:37
hearing later, often ten years later. You know, so you got ten
3:42
years to go do whatever you want to go do, Go commit crimes,
3:46
go take a live off of taxpayers, Just go settle in somewhere and we'll
3:53
get back with you at some point. So a lot can happen in ten
3:55
years. And one of the things that I presume is the goal here is
4:00
people to come in, have children, and then birthright citizenship for those children,
4:05
therefore making it easier for them to apply for citizenship. I think we
4:11
all know that at some point there's going to be just a grace of forgiveness,
4:16
a Hey, you came in illegally, and we're just going to let
4:21
you in. I mean, that's what eventually happens. They name a date
4:26
if you were in by this point, we can't make you leave at this
4:29
point. And that's for even for people who haven't had some sort of The
4:35
term anchor baby used to be used. It used to be used by people
4:39
who came in, Hey I want to come in, I want to have
4:41
a child and then I can settle. That became what's considered a negative term.
4:46
So now they don't say that. But birthright citizenship and the fourteenth Amendment,
4:53
and it basically says, you know, persons born or naturalized in the
4:58
United States or citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
5:02
Of course, this is one of those things that a president is going
5:06
to have a really hard time challenging on their own. This would be an
5:11
amending fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. So that's where we start getting into supermajority
5:17
in Congress, needed constitutional convention two thirds of states, ratification three fourth of
5:25
the states. This is not an easy thing to change, and it's not
5:30
going to change. It needs to change. It absolutely needs to change.
5:34
This notion of a birthright citizenship in the country. It's a very to me.
5:42
This is more of a case by case basis rather than just a blanket
5:46
Hey, I was born here, therefore I can be a citizen here.
5:50
I think if we did see that goal away, we would certainly see a
5:55
very different approach to how people come into the country, how they are given
6:00
to just kind of scatter, go do your thing. We'll get around to
6:04
contacting you at some point. I do think that that would be handled a
6:11
little differently. But when amnesty comes, that will be irrelevant. And I
6:15
do feel at some point, so many people have come in amnesty is coming.
6:20
I don't know why they've allowed so many in right now, but we've
6:25
seen the impeachment moving forward with Alejandro Majorcis. We'll find out whether or not
6:30
that's going anywhere soon. But there's more than just the birthright citizenship that's going
6:40
on here. That's a foul. There's something else that's happening. And sure,
6:46
they might contact in ten years to find out if they've had any children
6:51
right, that might be one thing that they do in ten years. They
6:56
might contact them in ten years or so to let them know that they've gotten
7:00
amnesty. That's two things that could potentially play out. There's another reason that
7:06
they'll be contacted in ten years or less, or depending on when they come
7:12
into the country. And I think it's interesting that we get this ten year
7:18
conversation talk. But anyway, there may be another reason that they're contacted,
7:25
and that is when people are contacted to fill out a census form. Now,
7:35
we have heard some discussion about some states. We've talked about this.
7:44
There's some states, there's some cities, there's some municipalities where undocumented illegal residents
7:53
that have settled into places or being given the opportunity to cast votes in local
8:01
elections. They can't vote in national elections or state elections, but they can
8:07
vote in local elections and just not on the federal level. And people say
8:18
basically that allowing them to vote on who's representing them at the local level is
8:24
necessary. It's important that they feel some ownership in the place where they're living.
8:31
To that, I say, because I think we all know the danger.
8:37
Sorry to be so blunt, but we all know the danger of allowing
8:43
folks to get into the And to me, it feels like it's almost a
8:50
training camp, right You're starting to teach people at a certain level that if
8:56
you want your local representation to be there for you to help you out,
9:01
to give you things, because you know maybe later you're going to be wanting
9:05
the state to give you things, and you're wanting the government to give you
9:09
things. Now. I know, not everyone who comes into the country illegally
9:13
shows up and they want a hand out. That's not true of everyone,
9:16
and it's not fair to throw that out as a blanket reason for people to
9:22
come in. Many of the people that we're hearing about, though, or
9:26
not coming in with good intentions right now. They're not coming in with hopes
9:31
of becoming a good citizen, with hopes of becoming an immediate good citizen.
9:39
I should say, maybe eventually they would like to, but they feel like
9:43
they're coming in because they've been told just come on in, we'll let you
9:48
in, We'll give you health care, we'll put you in school, will
9:52
put your kids in school, and we'll take care of you. And it's
9:56
really setting up a future generation of people that are going to say, well,
10:01
if the government's handing it out, why would I not take it?
10:05
And that's what it feels like. These local elections are touching on just a
10:09
little bit, giving people a taste of going through the process, feeling that
10:13
confidence that one day I'm going to be able to vote on a federal level,
10:18
one day I'm going to be able to vote in state elections. One
10:20
day I'm going to be able to have an impact on who is president of
10:24
the United States, who's representing us in Congress. And that's where it feels
10:30
like, that's kind of a training camp for I mean, that's what it
10:35
feels like to me anyway. But then we roll over to this idea of
10:39
the census, because this has been going on for a while. If you're
10:43
here, you're expected to fill out these census forms. That's what they want.
10:48
They want to know who's here, even if you're here illegally, because
10:54
again, you are looking at a situation where if you live there, if
10:58
you don't fill out the census, then you're not going to get any sort
11:03
of representation at all. But if you fill it out, that's a way
11:07
for you to get that even without casting a vote. Because we know we
11:15
have a House of Representatives that is based on population. So therefore you start
11:26
looking at census stats and the impact that they have on representation. Twenty extra
11:37
members of Congress represented by Democrats in because of California having seven extra members of
11:46
Congress and in sanctuary cities. So let's think about that. Let's think about
11:52
the way that all plays out into things. That quote, by the way,
11:58
comes from Warren Davidson, Republican Ohio representative, and he is someone who
12:05
has been working on legislation to prevent illegals from having an impact on the census,
12:18
and he gives California. He lays things all out for California and the
12:24
way it works. He says, California is the most left state in the
12:28
country, not just politically, but people wise up to what's going on there
12:31
and they leave, so they need non citizens to come in. Whenever we
12:37
try to say you should only count citizens, they act like that is somehow
12:41
abhorrent. He says, every foreigner does have representation in America, it's at
12:50
an embassy or a consulate. That's your representative if you're not an American,
12:56
and if or an American, you should be represented by someone in Congress.
13:00
And that you can't do unless you do the census the right way. Well,
13:07
there you go. I mean, I think that lays things out very
13:11
plainly for what's going on in some of these cities. People are pushed in
13:16
there, they're counted as part of the census, and then it gives more
13:22
power to those states or those cities and they're able to have that extra representation.
13:30
And the way that Representative Davidson lays it out, it's a pretty basic.
13:39
People leave that state, people go. They people in California have flooded
13:43
out, They've gone to other places, and it causes a shift in power
13:48
from those states. So what do they need they need? So really,
13:54
in some ways, flooding people into New York, flooding people into California would
14:00
ultimately in that regard, be beneficial if it doesn't break the bank, if
14:05
it doesn't break the taxpayers, if it doesn't break the budget. Of course,
14:11
it never does that because ultimately those states ask for federal money. They
14:13
ask for extra money to come in because, oh, we can't quite do
14:18
everything we want to do. We need some assistance, We need some help.
14:22
We're going to need money from taxpayers in other places so that we can
14:26
stay afloat and have people here and let them be counted in the census.
14:30
So one of those ways, they're going to be contacted within ten years,
14:35
and they all seem to be, for some reason, very advantageous to Democrats.
14:41
Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center,
14:46
inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that
14:54
really of all ages. I mean, they do it for school age kids
14:58
as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
15:01
do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics,
15:07
and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right now, and
15:13
you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org.
15:22
While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've
15:26
got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus
15:31
State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you
15:37
can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it
15:39
in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
15:45
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in
15:50
Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season
15:56
of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming eight for the shows, and
16:02
also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get
16:04
outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you
16:10
get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
16:14
and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their
16:18
website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie
16:23
dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
16:30
Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of
16:36
Columbus for all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you
16:41
have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on
16:47
anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
16:52
Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while
16:56
they're there, you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic
17:00
changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't
17:04
quite what you want it to be and you need some repair work done to
17:07
the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
17:12
it's making a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
17:17
sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that
17:22
stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd
17:26
like to add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put
17:30
down and you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
17:36
You know, if you like to work on your own cars in there,
17:37
or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to be
17:41
able to open the door up and not invite all the insects in they can
17:45
do that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
17:48
There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and
17:52
your garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they
17:56
do those as well. Seven oh six or five I eight forty five hundred
18:00
seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred odccolumbus dot com more West Carol
18:07
Morning Show right after the break. Well. When it comes to answering questions,
18:19
it seems that many people trust Google more than they trust their education.
18:26
A new survey finding that fifty five percent of respondents said that they rely on
18:30
Google more than what they learned in school, with the average Americans searching five
18:33
questions every day. Survey also found that most Americans feel like they only use
18:40
half of the information they learned in school, and that much of what they
18:45
learned wasn't really useful in daily life. Definitions of equilateral scalene or Isosceles triangles,
18:52
for example, you don't use those in your daily life, it says.
18:57
About thirty two percent said that they learn nothing about personal finances in school,
19:02
and eighty one percent said that they would be willing to do an adulting
19:04
crash course to learn practical skills like managing their finances and how to do their
19:11
taxes, home buying and mortgages and other things. How about this, A
19:15
fifty nine year old Canadian woman broke the Guinness World Record for planking, holding
19:19
the position for four hours, thirty minutes and eleven seconds. Donna Jean Wilde
19:25
stayed in a plank for ten minutes longer than the previous record holder. That
19:29
was me now fellow Canadian Dana Glowaca. Wilde says she started planking ten years
19:36
ago after she broke her wrist and couldn't do her other exercises. Her advice,
19:40
practice makes perfect whatever it is you like, if it's sports, or
19:45
academics or music, arts, whatever it is. The more you practice,
19:48
the better you get and the easier it becomes, and then you can help
19:52
others around you. That's a nice story. Good for her. Excited for
19:56
her and as a former Guinness World Record hold or in a category that has
20:02
nothing to do with planking. Yeah, nice job, I am, I'm
20:06
excited. I always like when you hear those kind of stories, especially when
20:08
they're nice, warm and fuzzy kind of stories. Somebody who's overcome an injury
20:15
in her case, Well, with the prices of groceries skyrocketing, and you're
20:21
worried about your bank account, the last thing you should do is go food
20:25
shopping on an empty stomach. That's never been recommended in the past, so
20:29
why should you do it now? You shouldn't. According to a recent study,
20:33
shopping while hungry costs Americans an extra twenty six dollars per trip at the
20:37
grocery store. The average American says they go food shopping twice a week.
20:41
Perhaps the best way to avoid overspending on groceries is to go to the store
20:48
with a shopping list. Fifty six percent of people do that. Seventy nine
20:52
percent say they're less likely to overspend out of that fifty six percent if they
20:57
stick to their list. Well, if you stick to your list, you're
21:00
probably not going to overspent. Heines has tickled Pink over their new sauce.
21:04
With Barbie mania continuing to be a thing, especially in the UK, the
21:10
Heines Company looking to jump on the pink train, offering a new pink BARBIEQ
21:15
sauce. Heines teamed up with Mattel for Barbie sixty fifth anniversary to create a
21:22
bright pink version of its classic barbecue sauce that for now will only be available
21:27
in the UK and Spain. The Classic barbecue sauce is a mix of vegan
21:33
mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. It's pink color comes from the addition of beetroot extract.
21:38
Heine says that if the barbecue sauce is a hit, the company may
21:41
expand it to other markets, and not to totally ignore Ken, Heines has
21:47
floated the idea of kin chup. Remember when they made it a green ketchup
21:53
and people lost their minds. I couldn't eat that. That's disgusting. Who
21:57
could possibly eat green catchup? I don't know. About pink barbecue sauce seems
22:04
weird. I don't know. We'll see if the folks in the UK really
22:08
want anything to do with it. I don't know. Also, on the
22:11
subject of blue things or colored things, the blue milk I mentioned at the
22:15
start of the show, Blue Milk from True Milk available beginning today, the
22:21
seventeenth of April. It, I guess has some sort of ties for at
22:25
least a few weeks with Star Wars Day on May fourth. But yeah,
22:30
it's some stores you may that sell True milk. You may start finding the
22:34
blue milk beginning today in those stores. It's a vanilla milk that's colored blue.
22:41
But I still want to try it. I kind of wish it tasted.
22:45
You know, they sell it at Disney. The blue milk. You're
22:47
able at the Disney theme parks. In the Star Wars portion of the parks,
22:55
Galaxy's Edge, you can get the blue milk, but it has I
22:57
think little pieces of pineapple or pineapple flavoring in and I think this is just
23:00
vanilla milk from True milk. But still I'm interested. I'll try it.
23:07
I don't know if I'll get to it today, but my hunt may begin
23:11
at some point today to try to track it down. So by tomorrow may
23:15
be asking for tips on anybody that say, well to find it. That'll
23:18
do it. For this Wednesday edition of the show, Thanks to our sponsors
23:21
and patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
