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, seventh day
0:11
of March. I'm west thanks for joining me. Inching our way a little
0:16
bit closer to the weekend. Haven't updated in a while, but we're a
0:22
little bit closer to getting my house back to normal. Not much, but
0:27
a little bit closer. We can almost in the distance see on the horizon
0:33
our kitchen restored, but we're not quite there yet. I don't want to
0:38
get ahead of myself. I don't want to get too I don't want to
0:40
put the cart before the horse or whatever. I don't want to do any
0:43
of that. I just want the kitchen to be done, but done correctly.
0:47
So we're we're getting there, one step at a time. We've had
0:51
some They had to reduce some stuff with our plumbing before they put the walls
0:56
back up. And just for those maybe that missed the saga, we had
0:59
a a dishwasher leak that caused damage to our floors. It's an old house,
1:04
so some of the cabinets had to be taken out as well, and
1:08
you know, with the part of the repair and taking out the cabinets meant
1:15
they had to test and check for lead in the walls, and they had
1:19
to check for asbestos. We were negative on the asbestos, positive on the
1:23
lead, so they had to do a full abatement of our kitchen, take
1:26
all the walls and ceiling out. It was a scene, man, still
1:30
is a scene, to be honest. But they've redone the electrical to get
1:36
everything ready to go. They've now done the plumbing, so we can kind
1:41
of see it. Maybe as soon as next week we're going to start getting
1:44
walls back up again. So looking forward to getting walls and a ceiling in
1:49
our kitchen and then maybe by the end of next week, maybe by Saint
1:53
Patrick's weekend, we'll have our stove back installed. It's a guest we haven't
2:00
been able to use since the beginning of the year. We've gone now two
2:05
months without a little over two months without a stove, so and working on
2:09
a hot plate. Man, that's a scene. Camping in your house,
2:14
that's what we've been doing. But we can kind of start to see it.
2:15
I'm just a little excited this morning because yesterday was a big day,
2:21
step, some progress made and maybe as soon as Monday, they'll be hanging
2:27
walls in there, and I'm kind of excited about that. All right,
2:30
I want to talk to you about this thing that we do now where some
2:35
people can say things and make threats and other people cannot. We have this
2:43
bullying at best. I think it's bullying. At worst, it's a form
2:47
of terrorism. And it's interesting, and I know it's a bit of a
2:52
reach to call it terrorism in some cases. I think in some cases not
2:57
calling it terrorism is part of our problem. But in this particular case i'm
3:00
going to talk about today, it's just bullying. It's probably an attempt at
3:07
being comedic, but it's it's also kind of bullying, and there's a certain
3:12
element of terrorism that plays into it. It's very small, and I know
3:15
it's a little bit hyperbolic when I get into the specifics of it, but
3:20
I just want to make a point that former President of the United States Donald
3:24
Trump is facing all these charges because they say that he tried to overthrow the
3:30
election. They say that he was some of his words caused other things to
3:36
happen. You know, we got January sixth. He's been blamed for things
3:40
that he said that may have caused people to act a certain way, and
3:46
that by using the words that he used, and it may have in some
3:50
way they've been code words, like coded words that could have gotten people to
3:55
start trying to do things, or to go to the capitol or you know,
4:00
try to commit insurrection. Remember, they were quick with that word.
4:03
They pulled that word out very fast. Insurrection. There is an insurrection afoot
4:09
there. It's brewing up. And they were very quick with that word.
4:14
That's not a word that has been thrown around a lot. You know,
4:17
you don't hear insurrection or trees and just kind of like, that's not a
4:21
bullet that's typically in the quiver, wait chamber, quiver would be an arrow
4:28
in it. It's not a bullet that's always ready in the chamber. It's
4:31
not an arrow that's in the quiver. That's what I was trying to say.
4:34
You don't typically have those words at the ready. We don't need those
4:39
words in most cases. But as we have really done this major stretch into
4:47
the world of hyperbole, as we have really done this major reach for trying
4:56
to say that things for the purposes of politics or not really what they are
5:02
like, we want them to be more severe. We want them to be
5:05
worse than what they are. So former President Trump has people to say.
5:12
He says things and it causes people to do certain things. Remember when he
5:17
said, I don't know, I heard you could put bleach in your veins
5:21
and it would cure COVID. I don't know who knows, And I think
5:28
that obviously you know you could go, well, that's dangerous. You hope
5:31
nobody. I don't know that there was ever a single person who actually did
5:34
that, but people said, ah, they're gonna do it. They're gonna
5:36
start putting bleach in their veins and people are gonna die, and what a
5:40
horrible thing that blood will be on his hands. I don't know of anybody
5:44
actually trying to do it. I don't think he was really trying to tell
5:46
people to do that at all. I don't know that there was any encouragement
5:51
of it. I think he made some good points about some of the drugs
5:54
that we should have been using to treat COVID four years ago, but we
5:59
were. They didn't want us to do that. They needed it to be
6:01
as bad as possible, right, They wanted to be severe. Some did
6:05
not everybody. Some wanted it to be as bad as possible. They didn't
6:09
want any treatment. We needed to be in a full crisis mode by November.
6:13
We need it to be an absolute Well there's a word, You say
6:18
a word and then show. They wanted it to be that by November.
6:21
That's what they were hoping for. Some not all. Some as like I've
6:27
covered many times, this was their chance to get rid of Trump. They
6:30
wanted to make sure that they had that opportunity, so they accused him of
6:35
Oh, he says things. CNN, MSNBC, especially MSNBC, but I
6:42
think they both will sometimes not even show a Trump's speech. We can't show
6:46
the speech because he doesn't tell the truth. We don't want you to hear
6:51
his lies, and we don't want him to tell people to do and act
6:58
certain ways. That's how afraid they are of this guy. I have heard
7:02
on MSNBC, not me watching it live, but I go back and catch
7:08
it later where people say on there, I know I heard Rachel Maddow say
7:13
it once. We're not going to show this speech live because we don't know
7:15
what he's going to say. We can't cover it live because he sometimes doesn't
7:20
tell the truth. Think about how ridiculous that is you ever watch one of
7:26
those White House Press conferences, the things coming out of that, I mean,
7:30
you're just going they're just like the spin on this is absurd. But
7:36
they're allowed to say whatever they want in there, and it's gonna get covered
7:41
whatever the spin is. Republicans are responsible for this inflation. I think yesterday
7:46
I heard a comment I don't know if it was from yesterday or the day
7:49
before, but Kaarine John Pierre saying, this has been the best three years
7:55
any president has ever had. Think about how ridiculous that state is. But
8:00
they're allowed to have that opinion. You just can't hear it if you're Trump
8:05
and they say that about you, and it's on MSNBC and they're saying that
8:09
about Biden now. But if Trump goes on TV and says that I did
8:13
this or I did that and they don't like it, they're gonna they don't
8:16
even give you a chance to hear it. They don't want you to hear
8:18
whatever the messaging is. It's really and this is supposed to be our press,
8:22
right, This is supposed to be our free press that's supposed to help
8:28
keep things in check, and they're really just in for one party. We
8:33
know that, but as if it wasn't already clear, that should tell you
8:37
everything you need to know. When they're not letting you hear a candidate for
8:41
president's speech tells you that they're afraid of them. But anyway they say things
8:48
he says are dangerous. They can cause people to do things, they can
8:52
cause actions. I've told you that we've had this cry from some on the
8:58
left, this notion that all white people are racist, you know, and
9:03
that you're either the oppressed or you're the oppressor, and that white people are
9:09
the oppressors, and that non white people, especially black people, are the
9:15
oppressed. And it's been this. I've heard people make this statement. I've
9:20
got people that I know that fall into this thing where they say all conservatives
9:26
are racist. That's what conservative means. It means racist. I know people
9:31
who believe that. I've got friends that joke about it because it's just this
9:37
thing that's out there in the ether. So by being a conservative, that
9:41
automatically makes you racist. And I know kids. One of mine has been
9:46
told, just for being at school, just for being white, that he's
9:50
racist. He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, he just got
9:54
told he was racist. For absolutely no reason other than his skin cult.
10:00
That's it. It's out there, Okay. Words can affect how people act.
10:05
They absolutely can. When members of back then they were running for the
10:13
White but that now are in the White House. But when certain members of
10:16
our current administration were running for the office during twenty twenties election and they were
10:24
encouraging people to get out and protest, we're in the middle of COVID.
10:28
Then remember we were told to stay home. You can't be in crowds of
10:31
people. You can't go to concerts, you can't go to the beach,
10:35
you can't go to the park, But you can get out in protest.
10:39
Just kind of keep your distance, be aware, you know, because the
10:41
protesting part was important. Now, the guidelines were pretty simple. We want
10:46
you to feel scared and oppressed and that we're in control and that we've got
10:52
you, and that the only way that you can vote safely is to have
10:56
mail in ballots or dropbox ballots, because we don't want you going in to
11:00
actually vote in person. We want you being able to collect as many of
11:05
these out of random mail boxes as possible and be able to take them in
11:07
and mail or get them from you know, we got twenty one twenty two
11:11
percent of people admitted to some kind of fraud. So yeah, people that
11:15
are mailing or turning in ballots for other people. All that was kind of
11:18
set. That whole table was set, while at the same time saying,
11:24
but it's important that you get out and protest in the street, as if
11:28
showing up to cast your vote on election day or early voting, show up,
11:35
be seen, have your vote counted, isn't also important. The protesting
11:41
was important, but actually showing up in person to vote not important. But
11:48
as current members of the administration who were then candidates said, you got to
11:52
be out there protests and you got to be out there doing it. And
11:54
people were doing it. They were following the lead, they were following the
11:56
instructions, they were protesting. Things got violent, no accountability none whatsoever.
12:03
All right, now we're going to and again I understand, Like to me,
12:07
when you're encouraging people to go out and protest and violence happens, it's
12:09
a type of terrorism. To me, it's trying to scare and intimidate people
12:13
and make them think when they sent When people went to they were encouraged to
12:20
go and protest at the homes of Supreme Court justices, which, by the
12:22
way, that is not supposed to be like, they are not elected officials
12:28
that you go to their home and try to sway their opinion. That's not
12:30
the way that works. They're supposed to look at the law, hear the
12:33
law, hear the arguments, and make a decision. That's what they're supposed
12:37
to do. People were going to their houses to try to have an impact
12:41
on how they were going to rule in cases, because h abortion, it's
12:45
the most important thing. They got it now in France, it's in their
12:48
constitution at fourteen weeks. By the way, I'm pretty sure there are many
12:52
Republicans right now that would say, fourteen weeks, let's put it on the
12:56
books. Let's do it America, let's do it. If Democrats would say,
13:01
yeah, let's do that fourteen weeks. Democrats want it to be an
13:05
issue for the election. They don't want it to be something that's resolved and
13:09
put away forever. But anyway they're bragging about for Oh France, can you
13:13
believe they're doing it fourteen weeks? That's the cutoff used to be twelve and
13:16
they just went to fourteen weeks. And that's now on their constitution for because
13:22
they said, oh, we saw what happened in America. We want to
13:24
make sure that this is solidified for our people, and it could be here
13:30
if they would just listen to the compromise anyway, Threats, threats against people,
13:35
threats of violence, threat they tried to get into the White House.
13:37
People were trying to break in the gates and get to Trump and drag them
13:41
out on the lawn of the White House. All those things. None of
13:43
that really gets talked about with this insurrection talk. They talk about January sixth
13:48
in the capital. Much more peaceful and I'm not defending anything in the Capitol,
13:52
but much more peaceful than the people trying to tear through the gates and
13:56
get into the White House because they wanted to kill Donald Trump. That's different.
13:58
It is different. By the way, it's a different kind of insurrection.
14:03
I would argue it's more insurrection if you want to kill the sitting president
14:07
on the lawn of the White House. But I digress. That's not the
14:09
point of the talk today. So Charles Barklay says that after hearing that there
14:18
are many black Americans who are supporting Trump because quite frankly, they're just fed
14:22
up. They're fed up with this notion that they used to have money when
14:30
Trump was in the White House and now they don't. And according to a
14:33
number of pollsters, they say that black support could be twenty three percent for
14:39
Trump. People he was ninety two percent of black voters for Biden. It
14:43
could be twenty three percent for Trump, and that alone could be enough to
14:46
turn the election. A lot of Black Americans saying, you know what,
14:52
this is time to do something different because it ain't working. What we're doing
14:58
right now is not working. So and they don't think that Biden is doing
15:03
anything for them. So Charles Barkley, frustrated at hearing that, says that
15:09
if he is a quote, he says, if I see a black person
15:13
walking around with Trump mugs, I'm going to punch him in the face.
15:16
This hasn't gone over well with many Black Americans who plan to vote for Trump.
15:22
By the way, this was on He does this show now on CNN,
15:28
and I guess Gail King is on there with him, and she said,
15:33
you know, basically said no, you're not going to do that,
15:35
and he said no, sincerely. And he says that if he were to
15:39
assault someone and get arrested, then he would bail himself out of jail and
15:46
then celebrate that he had done it. So my question is if this becomes
15:50
a thing, if people decide, hey, I'm going to attack black people
15:56
that say they want to support Donald Trump, think about how that sounds to
16:00
begin with, like it's a call for black on black crime in his case.
16:07
But if this becomes a call to assault black Americans because of who they
16:11
want to vote for, think about that just for a minute. Okay,
16:17
if it actually happens and Charles Barkley is ultimately responsible for it, or are
16:22
we going to because he's on CNN, would they not allow his words to
16:27
be broadcast anymore because it could cause violence. We know the answer to that,
16:33
because obviously they let him do this anyway. But a number of black
16:40
Americans have been saying, Okay, Chuck, I'll come find you with my
16:45
Trump shirt on, because apparently there are black Americans that are wearing the mugshot.
16:51
There's been a running joke, now you know, there was the old
16:52
joke that Bill Clinton was the first black president, Barack Obama was the second
16:56
one. And now a lot of black Americans saying, up will be the
17:00
third one when he gets reelected because of his battles with the criminal justice system.
17:06
They say he's one of them, and they're embracing it. They like
17:10
the mugshot. This could be interesting, It could be very interesting. I
17:15
can't imagine that Charles Barkley serious. He makes a lot of jokes. I
17:18
get it. But you know, if Trump makes a joke about bleach being
17:22
injected, people go, ah, he's telling people to put bleach in their
17:26
veins. And I mean, we've heard it. We've heard the calls from
17:32
the left to do violence and protest and get out in March, and so
17:37
I don't know, could this lead to some sort of violence? And think
17:41
about the just think about how it sounds. Imagine if a white person said,
17:45
hey, if you get out there and you're going to vote a certain
17:48
way, that people should attack you. I'll punch you in the face if
17:52
I find it. Just wouldn't so it would sit a different way. And
17:56
I understand he's Charles Barkley. He says things like this, But is there
18:03
going to be any accountability if somebody gets punched, if somebody gets attacked because
18:07
of what he said, will he be held accountable for that? And those
18:10
actions, I doubt it. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's
18:14
Coca Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders
18:22
and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean, they do
18:26
it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science
18:30
Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn
18:34
engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are
18:41
booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on
18:48
their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
18:55
their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the Schwobe
19:00
School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
19:04
any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things
19:10
that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this
19:12
really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction
19:18
that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science
19:25
Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates
19:30
for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up.
19:34
Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space
19:38
Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't
19:42
want any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy
19:47
Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin
19:52
says, Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it
19:56
stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to
20:03
you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
20:07
commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
20:15
It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have
20:19
electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring
20:25
that away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them
20:27
questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage
20:32
door, maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be,
20:37
and you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need
20:40
a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
20:45
door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got.
20:48
With colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
20:55
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door
20:57
to your garage door system that you can put down and you can use your
21:02
garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you
21:07
like to work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want
21:10
a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and
21:12
not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you as well,
21:17
and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
21:19
of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
21:25
you need somebody to come help, And they do those as well. Seven
21:29
oh six thy five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty
21:33
five hundred O dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the
21:38
break, let's talk about stress. Even if your young stress ages you.
21:53
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that high stress can make you young
22:00
adults look and feel older, but only on days when they also felt less
22:04
in control of their lives. The key was that on days when study participants
22:12
reported experiencing higher levels of stress than they normally did, they also reported looking
22:18
and feeling older, and as the study author, Professor Chavon Nupert says,
22:26
however, this was only true on days when study participants also reported feeling that
22:32
they had less control over their lives than normal. It's also worth noting that
22:37
both the levels of stress and the levels of control were relative, So in
22:42
short, basically, being very stressed and feeling like you have no control will
22:48
cause some problems when it comes to your body, whether you're young or old.
22:52
I know we've always made this observation in general about presidents, but they
22:57
go into the White House and then they leave, and they always are usually
23:03
they look about twenty years older, even if they're only in there, you
23:07
know, four years, they age a lot. And I know we've typically
23:11
kind of been doing the eight year presidents more often than not. But Trump
23:15
didn't seem to age in the four years, not that I can recall,
23:19
but anyway, they all seem to age a lot while they're in there,
23:23
and it's a very high stressed job. It makes sense, so nothing really
23:27
surprising about that. The feeling and control part of it, of course,
23:32
is a new component to it. Happy one hundred and seventeenth birthday to Maria
23:38
Branyas Morrera of Spain, who last year was named the world's oldest person before
23:45
her one hundred and sixteenth birthday. Now a year later, she still holds
23:48
the record. She's just now celebrated her one hundred and seventeenth birthday on Monday
23:53
with her three children, eleven grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. She was born
24:00
on March fourth, nineteen oh seven in San Francisco, moved to Catalonia,
24:03
Spain, when she was eight, and she's lived at the same nursing home
24:07
for the past twenty three years. And she says her secret to a long,
24:11
happy life is order, tranquility, good connection with family and friends,
24:17
contact with nature, emotionally stable, being emotionally stable, having no worries,
24:22
no regrets, lots of positivity, and staying away from toxic people. That
24:29
sounds like a pretty good strategy that and you know, at least feeling like
24:32
you're in control of your life. Maybe I don't know. So we know
24:37
there has been a call for a battle over women's sports, and we know
24:47
that there has been this call for, you know, more inclusion when it
24:52
comes to women in sports, like in the broadcast booth or on the field
24:56
coaching or a referee. We're seeing that in professional sports, and now it
25:03
looks like video games will be the next big breakthrough in women's sports. This
25:10
almost sounds like it's joke to even word it that way, But the game
25:15
MLB The Show that MLB The Show twenty four will have a new game mode
25:22
called Road to the Show Women Pave Their Way, which will let gamers create
25:26
and play as women baseball players. Each created player will receive a distinct storyline
25:33
to follow as she makes her journey into the big leagues. Interesting, I
25:41
know a lot of women gamers. I don't know a lot of women gamers
25:45
that play sports games. Just being honest, Some do, and I'm not
25:49
saying that they can't play it or that they don't. The ones that I
25:53
know that play sports games. Aren't necessarily playing the baseball ones that I'm aware
26:00
of. I've never heard them talk about it. Is this an inlet for
26:03
them? Does this make them want to play? I don't know. I'm
26:07
just pointing out the fact that I don't know exactly how this goes over or
26:12
if it will be a mode that is used a lot. But you know,
26:18
I don't see any harm in it. It's certainly not, you know,
26:22
anything involving biological men playing in real sports against women. So you know,
26:27
this should should be you know, maybe maybe there'll be some young girls
26:33
that will find this, and who knows, maybe this will inspire a girl
26:37
to grow up and want to play in the big leagues and be able to
26:41
do that. So I don't know, but maybe it'll happen. That'll do
26:44
it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
