The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:05
day and you're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning, thirtieth
0:11
day of May. I'm West Thanks for joining me zipping on through this month
0:17
of May. We're almost there, almost into June. Gonna happen fast,
0:23
man. This is that point in the year where it feels like it should
0:28
be kind of slowing down because of the just ongoing continual coverage of everything to
0:38
do with politics and election season. But we're kind of in this unique period
0:43
where we have a president who's running for reelection, a former president who's running
0:48
for reelection. The primary thing is long done, right, We've known for
0:54
a while who the likely candidates were going to be unless something strange plays out.
1:00
So normally this is a stretch where it just feels like, my gosh,
1:04
everything's kind of slowing down and we're going to go through this back and
1:07
forth bickering and fighting and everything. But it's a little bit different this time,
1:12
and it kind of feels like the years moving kind of quickly. Now,
1:18
keep in mind, four years ago, by this point, it's a
1:21
whole different world we were living in, and we were probably i don't remember
1:23
exactly where it started. We were close if we hadn't gotten into the everybody
1:30
should be at home, don't leave the house, stay six feet apart from
1:34
everybody, wear your masks, don't go near anybody, or you're going to
1:40
just be irresponsible and kill all the grandmas. And unless you're protesting for social
1:48
justice, in which case all bets are off, we can't ask you to
1:53
look out for the greater good of humanity and society and saving lives if you're
2:00
trying to fight for social justice and get Trump thrown out office. I mean,
2:05
that's part of what was going on. Let's be honest. Can we
2:08
just be honest about that, that's what was happening at this point four years
2:12
ago. Can we just be blunt and honest and say that was part of
2:15
it? We know this mentality of oh, this terrible thing happened. How
2:21
do we use it politically? And just being blunt four years ago and even
2:28
further back in some of the midterms and things, you got to say the
2:30
Democrats have been better at that. It's a terrible thing to be good at.
2:35
Right to go, man, we got to pounce on this horrible thing,
2:38
this global pandemic. Let's make sure that we utilize every aspect of this
2:43
so that we can have control. That's what we need. We need control.
2:47
We know better than everybody else about everything. We will sacrifice whatever we
2:53
have to in the name of control. That's really what it's all about,
2:59
isn't it. It's all about control. So, you know, unless we
3:05
get one of those summers where you start getting people, I mean, I
3:07
know, we just went through the thing at the college campuses. I guess
3:10
there's still people doing that. I know somebody telling me that they I guess
3:16
when they were at university graduation ceremony outside the state and they were saying,
3:24
yep, it was going on and they were witnessing it, you know.
3:29
But it's now we're past I guess a lot of the graduation season for universities,
3:34
and I know you still have some schools wrapping up their school years around
3:38
the country. And I don't know how much of it's happening in high school.
3:42
It seemed to kind of primarily be a university thing, but I know
3:45
there were some instances in high schools. But anyway, unless we get something
3:52
and anything's possible, let's acknowledge that anything's possible. Right now, all bets
3:59
seem to be on whatever happens in this Trump trial. And I know that
4:02
maybe today we get a verdict. I think most of the experts are predicting,
4:08
you know, mid afternoon, somewhere around mid afternoon Friday being the day
4:15
that we get the verdict, But it could happen today, and I think
4:18
it's it's no matter what, this is going to be a very historic verdict.
4:28
It's been historic, and I mean indicting a former president who is running
4:31
for reelection is already historic in so many bad ways. But it will be
4:38
historic no matter what. Whatever the verdict is, We've seen history play out.
4:44
If he is convicted, then let the and I'm sure there's already campaign
4:47
ads made. Don't kid yourself. The campaign ads are often already made long
4:55
before, and especially if it's one of those situations where you've got one party
5:00
that's helping a candidate get nominated and they kind of already know the score,
5:05
they already know the deal with the candidate. Think back to herschel Walker.
5:11
If you think that Reverend Erkele's team, the Warnock team didn't have the ads
5:16
ready because they were ready. They were waiting on Herschel to get the nomination,
5:21
and they knew the ads are done. We can start running them.
5:26
As soon as Herschel has declared the winner. We can start all the mental
5:29
help things. We can start all the he threatened this person, he threatened
5:32
that person. He's violent, he's a former football player, he's got a
5:40
number of issues with concussions and mental health. And we're ready. We got
5:44
the ads made. Ads were done. They were done before election day for
5:50
the primary for Republicans. It was done. So they've got him ready.
5:57
They've got the ads ready, the convicted felon ads, they're all set.
6:00
They're ready. It's the you know, Madam President, newsweek cover that they
6:04
had made with Hillary Clinton. They're ready. It's the Patriots nineteen and oh
6:12
books they were ready to start handing out, and that's what we've got.
6:15
They're ready, they're waiting to go now. I couldn't tell you how the
6:18
verdict's going to go. I think the sham. The whole thing is a
6:21
sham. The hearing is a sham. It's a joke, and I've talked
6:25
about it, but I don't I don't know what's going to happen. It's
6:30
in New York. And we know there's a different set of rules for one
6:34
side than there are for the other. And on that subject, we're going
6:40
to talk about flags. Can we talk about I haven't talked about the flag
6:47
gate or whatever that they're calling it. I don't know if it's got a
6:50
clever little nickname yet. All I know is that a Supreme Court justice in
6:59
the these United States of America has now he's being accused of flying flags that
7:10
are symbolic of things that would make him impartial as a justice. And they
7:17
feel that because and according to him, he says his wife is the one
7:23
responsible for the flags. In one case, a flag that was flown upside
7:29
down in in Samuel Alito's home. He says his wife is the one who
7:33
flew the flag upside down, a symbol of distress. That's something done on
7:43
ships, that's something done. Really. Americans do it sometimes when they feel
7:47
like the nation is in distress. That's what it's supposed to mean. It's
7:54
supposed to mean distress. And there have been cases where American citizens have flown
7:58
flags upside down to show distress. Now, according to the story, according
8:05
to Justice Alito, he says that it was about a dispute between his wife
8:13
and a neighbor. Now, apparently there was a you know, very heated
8:20
battle between Now I've seen a couple of things. I've seen people say it
8:24
wasn't political, but because of some of the things that were said. Now,
8:28
he said that someone in the neighborhood used a term for his wife that
8:33
is the most derogatory term that you could use about a woman. Now that
8:41
that description puts one word in my head. I saw a few people say
8:48
that they thought it was the other one. The other one, to me,
8:52
is not as horrible as there's there's one. There's a five letter one
9:00
and a four letter one. I think the four letter one is worse.
9:03
That's my opinion. That's my thoughts on it. The five letter one is
9:07
not nice. It's certainly a bad one. You would not want to be
9:13
called that and you know, unless you're having puppies, but as a as
9:20
a human woman, I don't. You don't want to be called that one.
9:24
But I think that the other one, the four letter one, I
9:26
think is worse. To me, I assume that that's that's the one,
9:31
but I don't know, I don't know what word. Apparently a neighbor called
9:37
his wife. But I can't help but feel like there's got to be some
9:43
sort of political motivation behind some of it. And I've seen some people say
9:48
that it was. There were apparently signs at the neighbor's house that were facing
9:52
the Alito home that had references to it had another four letter word on one
9:58
of them, and references to Trump and references to the election and all sorts
10:07
of things. And then of course January sixth, people saying, oh,
10:11
my gosh, can you believe what's going on at the US Capitol. And
10:18
of course my first thought when I heard, oh my gosh, something bad
10:20
has happened at the Capitol, I thought, oh, is this like when
10:24
that one Democrat guy put it took a bomb into the Capitol in the eighties?
10:30
Was it the eighties? And then no, no, it wasn't that
10:33
people stormed into the capitol. Some stormed in, some were welcomed in,
10:39
and you go, oh, that's awful. That shouldn't happen at the Capitol.
10:43
That's terrible that that happened. And then people said, oh, my
10:48
gosh, we're a nation and distress. Right, there's an insurrection, an
10:54
active insurrection. That's trying to happen. And I would think at that point
10:58
everyone could fly their flag upside down because clearly we were a nation in distress.
11:03
There were people inside the Capitol wearing like mooseheads or whatever whatever that guy
11:09
had, he had the water buffalo hat from the Flintstones on, and you
11:15
know, security was walking people around. Hey, just don't break anything you're
11:20
in here. Let's just you know, let's respect it. It's you know,
11:24
and then here's the exit. When you're done, take some pictures.
11:28
You need me to take that for you. But I'm not making light of
11:31
what happened. I'm just pointing out the fact that it was described as an
11:37
insurrection and a nation in distress. Right, So if you're flying a flag
11:43
upside down, that's symbolic of the nation in distress. That would seem to
11:48
be par for what's going on in the world, right, what's going on
11:54
in America, what's going on at the Capitol. But anyway, so the
12:00
fact that Alito will be obviously we've got cases coming up to the Supreme Court
12:07
that are related to January sixth, So they say, oh, he can't
12:11
possibly be unbiased, he should step aside, he should recuse himself and he
12:16
goes, yeah, I'm not doing that good for him. He shouldn't.
12:18
They've already tried to tell Justice Thomas that he should step aside because his wife
12:24
said and did some things that were pro Trump during all of this. So
12:31
this is the left trying to get rid of two conservative justices and trying to
12:35
because this has got to be like, if this verdict in New York doesn't
12:39
go their way, this is their next shot. They got to figure out
12:43
whatever they can do to get Trump. Just get him. That's what they
12:50
got to do. And they can't. They're not going to be able to
12:52
do that unless they can just start, you know, eliminating justices. Now,
12:58
Alito says he still has people that come to his house and yell and
13:01
scream, and you know, because he was the one who was writing about
13:07
the Roe v. Wade case being overturned, and he's the one it was
13:13
his writings that were leaked. We still haven't found out who leaked him.
13:18
By the way, that should be a priority for everyone, but for some
13:22
reason it's not. But that was leaked, and then people tried to use
13:28
a form of various forms of terrorism to get the justices to vote to keep
13:33
Roe v. Wade. Thankfully, they displayed their character and they did what
13:37
they thought was true to the law, which is what their role is as
13:41
the Supreme Court. But he says he still has people that come to his
13:46
house and holler and scream at him or whatever. Then they flew, they
13:52
flew a whole different flag that they say, Oh, some people have been
14:00
using this, this flag with this tree on it as a symbolism for stop
14:07
to steal. And you know, it's basically like a like a prayer,
14:11
you know. Oh oh, and one other point, I just want to
14:16
mention this before we go onto the other flag. But now there has been
14:26
I guess yesterday a story that so New York Times is the one who jumped
14:33
in and said, oh my gosh, upside down flag at Alito's home and
14:39
this is terrible. Well, the Washington Post now says that they had the
14:43
story three years ago and they decided not to publish the story then, and
14:54
a lot of people saying, well, why would they, why would they
14:56
do that? Well, this seems about the right time for the story to
15:00
come out, right, I mean, they didn't put it out now,
15:05
but it's interesting that they sat on it it's interesting that they did not anyway.
15:11
So let's go to the appeal to Heaven flag, right, I mean,
15:15
that's a that's a prayer, right, isn't that what that is?
15:20
And they say that it was also part of the stop the steal and all
15:26
that sort of stuff. So let's go back. I've been talking about Ruth
15:33
Bader Ginsburg a little bit. Past few shows this this idea that Supreme Court
15:43
justices and their wives, two of them, their wives would be it would
15:48
make things difficult for them to be truly unbiased when they hear these cases.
15:56
And this is all of a suddenly, we're pretending now that this is a
16:02
brand new thing that someone would bring their political bias into the Supreme Court like
16:10
this has never happened before. I mean, in the history of the Supreme
16:14
Court, no one has ever thought, oh my gosh, this conservative Supreme
16:18
Court justice might have conservative ideals and feelings and opinions and might also like,
16:26
you know, conservative symbolism of things. I don't believe at any point Alito
16:32
has said anything specifically about stopping the steel. That hasn't happened. But this
16:37
idea that you can just say, well, remember there was a period where
16:41
if you did the held your hand up to the okay symbol, you make
16:45
a circle with your index finger and your thumb and your three fingers point up
16:48
and you go okay, And people said, ah, that now means white
16:52
power. The white supremacists throw that up and the three fingers up mean w
17:00
and then the index finger and thumb and your hand going down, your wrist
17:03
going down, that makes a p that means white power. And if someone
17:10
did it that was a conservative, they went, ah, they're throwing a
17:12
white power symbol. But if you know, just some guy on the street
17:18
just did it, like, hey, okay, Eddie Murphy did it in
17:21
Beverly Hills, cop you know that's okay. That doesn't mean white power.
17:26
There's fraternities that do it, there's athletes that do it, and they would
17:30
kind of cherry pick which ones are they trying to find. There was a
17:36
someone at the Army Navy game and they did like an okay, if you
17:41
look at the rampant racism in the Army, look at that, and the
17:45
guy's just going, hey, okay. Anyway, So no Supreme Court justice
17:51
has ever done anything that was kind of out of line, because there is
17:55
something that's considered appropriate with behavior of justice, Like you would never have a
18:00
Supreme Court justice say terrible things about a candidate running for president, would you?
18:11
I mean, unless you count in twenty sixteen, when Justice Ginsburg RBG,
18:18
the hero of overturning Roe v. Wade. By the way of Trump,
18:25
he's a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever
18:29
comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. How
18:33
has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems
18:37
to be very gentle with him on that. I think that was the lighter
18:40
of the things. There's something else that she said that was even worse.
18:45
Oh and then Trump responded to her. Justice Ginsburg, the Supreme Court has
18:48
embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot.
18:53
Resign No, if she had resigned, she wouldn't have played her important
19:00
role in overturning Roe v. Wade. Sticking around it was a big part
19:06
of her strategy. All these things happening in July, by the way of
19:12
twenty sixteen, and this is not something that should be done. But no
19:23
calling out on that. You get some conservatives on that at the time,
19:30
the speaker of the House was Paul Ryan. He said it was not appropriate.
19:36
His words were for someone on the Supreme Court is going to be calling
19:38
balls and strikes in the future based on whatever the next president in Congress does.
19:42
That strike me as inherently biased and out of the realm. But she's
19:48
a hero. She said something bad about Trump, so that makes her a
19:52
hero. If justice Alito's wife hangs a flag upside down outside the house,
19:59
those are stop the steal people. Certainly wasn't pointing that flag at the neighbors.
20:07
He referenced this word. I assume it was four letters that someone yelled
20:11
at her while she was trying to just get back in the house one day.
20:17
Anyway, I think this is another one of those cases where we're pretending
20:22
that something we're looking for, something nefarious. This is like the this is
20:26
like the Reich thing on the Trump video. It's making something out of nothing.
20:33
But again, we know why they're doing it. We we've had a
20:37
number of far left dare I say, left wing extremists that would you know,
20:45
showing up at these protests and saying negative, hurtful, harmful, kill
20:51
the Jews type statements very anti Semitic, and then you have to find a
20:56
way to lump that back on the on the conservatives, right, So say,
21:00
well, Trump had this newspaper clip that said the word Reich that he
21:06
put up said something about a strong Reich or whatever it said, and that's
21:12
what this is. This is about trying to say, well, if we
21:15
don't get this verdict, we need, we need something else that maybe if
21:18
we can find a reason to cast doubt on these justices and they're ruling,
21:26
then maybe just maybe that will be advantageous to us. Maybe it will help
21:30
us out, or maybe it will help us in our upcoming and ongoing quest
21:36
of adding as many people to the court as possible, because you got to
21:41
make sure that we get the balance in there that we need to have more
21:45
control. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science
21:51
Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders
21:59
that really of all ages. I mean they do it for school age kids
22:03
as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center, but they also
22:07
do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics
22:12
and the careers in space and stem fields are booming right now, and you
22:18
can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website CCSSC dot org.
22:26
While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming programs. They've got
22:30
this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwob School of Music from Columbus State
22:37
University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert experience that you can
22:42
get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when you're watching it in
22:45
Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
22:49
I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus
22:56
inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of
23:02
Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also
23:07
check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you can get outside.
23:11
Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside
23:17
somewhere outside the city lights you don't want any light interference, and you can
23:19
do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website. It's

23:41
all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
23:48
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
23:52
has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
23:57
Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
24:02
you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
24:06
like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
24:11
you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside
24:14
door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
24:18
a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
24:22
insulation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets
24:27
in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
24:32
add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and
24:36
you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You
24:41
know, if you like to work on your own cars in there, or
24:44
maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open
24:47
the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that
24:51
for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing
24:55
worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage
24:59
door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those
25:03
as well. Seven sixty five eight forty five hundred seven O six three five
25:07
eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show right after
25:14
the break. Is there anything more stressful than moving? Well, A new
25:26
survey says no. A survey down of people who've moved in the last five
25:32
years found that respondence rated moving as more stressful than losing a job, landing
25:37
a plane in an emergency, switching careers. Worrying about having too many things
25:44
and not enough help to move is what caused the stress. So so many
25:49
things and just not enough help getting moving done. I noticed the divorce wasn't
25:55
in there. I would think that would be a stressful event to go through.
25:57
But anyway, nineteen percent of those that were surveys that they were so
26:02
anxious about moving they weren't even worried about that. They even did worry about
26:04
possibly having a nervous breakdown. So, yeah, it's okay. You know,
26:11
you're just moving. It's okay, It's okay. That's what I'm trying
26:15
to tell you. If you're moving and you're stressed about it, it's gonna
26:17
be all right. That's all I can tell you. It's gonna be okay.
26:21
On the subject of a divorce, which apparently isn't as stressful as you
26:25
know, any of those things on that list. I mean, you're gonna
26:30
say that landing a plane in an emergency, now that would be stressful,
26:34
but that's not the same as a divorce, right anyway, On the subject
26:40
of divorce, or you know, want a happier marriage in general, apparently
26:45
you should start journaling if you would would like a happier marriage. And they
26:52
say, especially when you're upset with your significant other, it gives you a
26:55
chance to let your feelings out on paper and rather than just, you know,
26:59
pile them all on your partner, and it can help you clarify how
27:03
you're feeling. According to experts, they say that just giving yourself a safe
27:11
space to understand and heal and think things through. I think that thinking things
27:18
through thing is a big part of it. So being able to do that
27:22
will help you out and possibly help you have a happier marriage. I mean,
27:25
you may have bigger issues that you know, there may not be enough
27:27
paper in the world. I can't tell you specifically what you got going on,
27:32
but what I can tell you is, you know, if it's just
27:36
a few things and you don't want to just pile it on your spouse,
27:38
that's something you can do. Latest fashion trend is now business formal, and
27:45
they say it's not just for the office, as people are putting on blazers,
27:48
button ups and vests for days and nights out. According to data from
27:52
Pinterest, there's been a nine and fifty surge and searches for corporate sheep,
28:00
with users showing interest in things like pinstripe pants, skirts, vests, blazers.
28:07
That's what we need, we need to get things more formal. I
28:11
mean that is that what we really need is more formality in just trying to
28:17
get just we're just trying to get through another day on this blue marble spinning
28:22
through space. Right, we don't need more formality. I don't think do
28:26
we need that. They're going to say we have to start dressing up again
28:27
to get on airplanes. Come on, manh Denver police have launched a new
28:33
campaign. It's a drone program that will help the police respond to nine to
28:38
one one calls. The program involves sending drones to verify and assess just how
28:44
serious the nine to one run reports might be, and if everything goes according
28:48
to plans, several drones will be launched and coordinated within six to twelve months.
28:53
So the drones would show up and go, E, they're shooting.
28:59
We need to send some people. You know, I don't know that.
29:03
This is where they had mine and they said defund the police. I don't
29:06
have a problem with it in general. It depends on what the situation is.
29:10
But if it's a nine one one call, if it's an emergency,
29:12
what's the drone going to do? Is RoboCop? What are we doing that
29:17
the drone's gonna be able to? According to a new study, high paying
29:22
remote jobs fell nearly sixty percent in the last year, while the availability of
29:26
hybrid's job hybrid jobs dropped ninety five percent. It seems companies are now preferring
29:33
to have workers in the office versus working from home. You know, you
29:36
got to stand there and look at them, gotta tell the I'm going to
29:38
need you to come in on Sunday, and workers are learning that higher paying
29:42
jobs require more commitment, including showing up to the office daily. Bottom line
29:48
is that remote jobs do still exist, but many companies that allow employees to
29:52
work from home might be getting paid less. So just a heads up.
29:56
If you want to keep working from home, you might not be making as
30:00
much money. It's just the reality of it. That's what's happening. We
30:03
knew this was coming. You had to know it was coming, right.
30:07
You got to have the micromanagers. Man You got to have those middle managers
30:11
that micromanage and stand there and tell you what to do, because you know,
30:15
otherwise, what are they doing all day? I don't know. Scientists
30:18
have figured out a way to create diamonds, which could make them easier to
30:23
grow in a lab. Researchers have been working on this new method for over
30:29
a decade and might now have a way to get a diamond started in just
30:33
fifteen minutes. This is a pretty big deal because natural diamonds form in the
30:40
Earth's mantle, hundreds of miles beneath the surface of the planet and require scorching
30:45
temperatures more than twenty seven hundred degrees fahrenheit. The new method is still complicated,
30:52
but it doesn't require a blast furnace or pressure from the Earth's surface.
31:00
I don't have to do that, so that's kind of nice that they can
31:02
do that. They still be blood diamonds. I don't know, can they
31:07
I mean, you know, can they still use that term about these?
31:11
I don't know. I don't know if they could find I don't know.
31:14
I guess it depends on where they make them. Right. That'll do it
31:18
