The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
0:07
You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Monday morning, twenty sixth
0:14
day of February. I'm West Thanks for joining me kicking off the week here
0:21
together. I want to talk a little bit about one of the many hypocrisies
0:29
that we deal with so much out of our government. And this is not
0:37
something that's exclusive to one party or the other, although in this particular case,
0:42
I'm going to definitely call out some hypocrisy from the left. And I'll
0:50
start talking about Trump, and I'll start talking about the January sixth events and
1:00
everything that came since, and I'm going to get to something more recent as
1:06
I moved through this. But we know that when January sixth happened, the
1:15
word insurrection, very early in the game, was injected into the story intentionally.
1:26
There's no accident that the word insurrection became such a big part of all
1:34
of this, and it was a very coordinated word because it ultimately led to
1:42
filing charges against the former president and when Trump faced those charges, the accusation
1:51
is that the things that happened inside the Capitol were caused by his words there's
2:00
a lot of assumption that if he says something, that whatever he says,
2:07
some people can hear it, how they interpret what he's saying can cause them
2:15
to act and to do things. I've talked many times on the radio and
2:23
here about the fact that there's a definite divide in the way that this is
2:30
covered for both sides. During the twenty twenty election, we had folks on
2:37
the left that were calling for more protesting in the streets. It's interesting that
2:45
when a politician on the left calls for you know, getting in the face
2:50
of people that disagree with them, or saying now's the time for even more
2:55
action, or when a politician bails out someone who's been arrested for the violence
3:04
and things that came as a result of some of these protests, and you
3:07
think about it, folks on the left say, hey, get out there
3:10
and protest peacefully, protest, and even if they say that, but get
3:15
out there in protest in some cases, you know, get in the face
3:19
of people at the gasoline stations and the restaurants. So when people get out
3:25
in protest, and when people got out and you know, burned down city
3:30
sections of cities, when they burned down businesses, and you know, people
3:36
were killed in some cases, and it ultimately led to other citizens trying to
3:43
protect private property in some cases, and then sometimes that led to the death
3:46
of citizens. And then of course the accusation wasn't that maybe the people shouldn't
3:53
have been out protesting, It was, you know, well, what did
3:54
Donald what was Donald Trump's role in getting those people to go out and defend
3:59
that proper property and shoot at people or whatever. It's the way it was
4:02
handled, It's the way it was covered, and that's the way January sixth
4:06
was treated. What did he say to his people that caused them to go
4:15
into the White House? I'm sorry, into the Capitol. The White House
4:18
is a different thing because, and I stress this and the reason I'm slipping
4:23
getting ahead of myself a little bit is we know that there were people who
4:27
were basically escorted around inside the Capitol and shown around. There were you know,
4:34
there were people that were there, shouldn't have been there, didn't need
4:39
to be there. But in many cases a lot of them were just welcomed
4:42
in. Come on in, look around. Maybe don't put your feet up
4:46
on Nancy Pelosi's desk. Those kind of things you mind taking a photo while
4:49
I'm at the desk and then I'll leave, mister security guard. Sure,
4:55
I mean those kind of things took place versus this is the number of times
5:00
that we had people actively trying to get into the White House to get to
5:06
then President Trump. That's treated differently. That's a whole different ordeal as when
5:13
people on the left say we need to you know, protest, we need
5:17
to actively keep this revolution going, we have to you know, be actively
5:21
in revolt, and then people try to get into the White House and no
5:28
one is held to any sort of consequence for those words. That verbiage doesn't
5:32
mean anything. It does with Trump, it doesn't with them when you know,
5:39
they went after the Supreme Court because of what was about to happen with
5:44
Roe v. Wade, and then suddenly you had people showing up at the
5:47
homes of Supreme Court justices ready to injure them or kill them. And people
5:55
say, well, what did they say that made this happen? When someone
5:58
showed up at the Pelosi House, they say, well, what did Donald
6:00
Trump say to make people go to the Pelosi House and try to hurt the
6:02
Pelosies, you know, start attacking them. But there's no real question about
6:10
what was said to cause them to want to go to the house of a
6:13
Supreme Court justice and try to make changes in things. It's a very different
6:17
approach, it's a very different way that it's handled. And the number of
6:24
times that words eventually led to some sort of action on the left ignored on
6:33
the right. Insurrection. We have to make sure that he can't run for
6:39
president, So we're going to prosecute him and try to get him for insurrection.
6:44
Keep him off ballots, right, that's the goal. Keep him off
6:47
the ballots. We got to make sure that we do that. We have
6:49
to make sure that that's going to be the way that we find a way
6:54
to get him, right, I mean, that's the goal, that's the
6:58
objective. So one side, it can slide the other side pretty much,
7:04
you know, prosecute right away, get him, got to get him.
7:09
You're okay, you're not okay. It just depends on whose side you're on
7:13
in all of it. Right, think about the number of times and we've
7:16
talked about things like critical race theory, the number of times we've heard,
7:21
well, schools want to teach this and they want to make sure that kids
7:25
understand and you hear stories about in classrooms where the kids are taken outside and
7:31
made to walk this walk where you find out who has white privilege and who
7:35
has privilege, and who's better off than other people on how they're inherently racist
7:41
by nature, where their classmates aren't because they don't have white privilege. My
7:49
children, one of my children, really like best friend of my other child,
7:59
have been called racist at school for being white. Like this has happened
8:05
this school year. One of my children, who does not have a racist
8:11
inkling in him at all, didn't grow up in the era that many of
8:18
us are you listening in, myself speaking experienced. He's living in a very
8:24
different world right now than what I was raised in. There is zero,
8:33
zero thoughts of anything racist in my children, and they've been called racist.
8:41
Jake's been called racist for being white, just for being white. He's been
8:46
called a fascist. He's been called a racist for nothing, And he would
8:54
ask, why are you saying that, Oh, you just are, clearly
8:56
you are. Luke's really close buddy has been called racist just because he's white.
9:05
It's happened. It's happened this school year. This is where we are
9:11
now. Who has been saying things that would suggest that white people have white
9:16
privilege and all white people are racist, whether they're racist or not, whether
9:20
they know that they're racist or not. So is there a possibility that these
9:28
words are trickling down and making their way into middle schools and high schools and
9:33
maybe even elementary schools. I'm aware of it happening this school year. I
9:41
don't know if it happened in previous school years. I don't know. Learning
9:46
about it from one of Luke's friends that it happened to him made me aware
9:52
of it happening at that level. I don't know what may have happened at
9:56
younger levels, but it's probably happened, or it's happened. I don't know
10:01
about in their circles, but we know that it's happened. So is there
10:07
any sort of accountability to those people for saying it? And I bring all
10:15
this up now. This may seem random, and I know we're in the
10:18
middle of all the Trump trials and things, but I bring this up now
10:20
because of a different kind of accountability. Our governor, friend of the show,
10:28
Brian kemp Here in Georgia, sent a letter to the Biden administration and
10:41
this is on the heels of the Lacln Riley murder augusta university student who was
10:52
killed or found in the University of Georgia, a wooded area on Camp Okay.
11:03
Twenty six year old Jose Antonio Ibarra was arrested on Friday for this malice,
11:09
murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment,
11:13
kidnapping, hindering a nine when one call concealing the death of another. Prosecutors
11:22
in the case, including the police chief at the University of Georgia's name's Jeffrey
11:28
Clark, said it was a crime of opportunity. Now. Ibarra reportedly lived
11:39
somewhere near the park where Riley was jogging. Ibarra, not a US citizen,
11:46
not a student at Georgia, came into the US across the border illegally
11:54
from Venezuela, and I guess at some point released into the US. And
12:05
Brian Kemp says, as I've stated many times in the past, this is
12:09
addressed to President Biden. Your actions and those of your administration have resulted in
12:15
every state in the country experiencing the disastrous impacts of an unsecured US southern border.
12:22
More than nine million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since you took office,
12:28
with an additional unknown number of migrants who were not detained and processed,
12:31
while at least fifty eight people on the terror watch list have been encountered between
12:37
ports of entry this fiscal year alone. While the dangers of this crisis have
12:43
never been theoretical, this week our state witnessed a devastating tragedy. Lake and
12:52
Riley's tragic death struck the hearts of Georgians everywhere and has rightfully sparked national outrage.
12:58
As I have said many times before, every state is now a border
13:01
state because of Joe Biden's inaction, and today I am again demanding answers and
13:07
information from the Biden administration that will help us protect our citizens when the federal
13:13
government will not so. Back to accountability. The accusation that former President Trump
13:28
may have said some things that someone might have taken his coded language that told
13:31
them that they needed to go into the Capitol Building and cause havoc and Wreek
13:37
insurrection upon the Capitol Building versus what I think is laid out pretty well there
13:48
by Governor Kemp. A case of in action by our federal government allowing people
13:58
to cross the border, at times even encouraging them. You could say,
14:01
I think that by not doing anything, and that by just offering sanctuary cities
14:07
up to folks that want to come in, I think it's fair to say
14:13
that it's an invitation. Governor Kemp went on to say, frankly, mister
14:18
President, your continued silence in response to these reasonable requests is outrageous. The
14:22
American people deserve to know who is illegally entering our country due to your administration's
14:28
failures, and what risks and challenges every state must now face. Very well
14:37
said, these tragedies are not unique to Georgia. While we continue to support
14:43
Texas with National Guard resources as we have since twenty nineteen, federal action to
14:48
secure the border is the only way to holistically address this ongoing crisis and insure
14:56
Lake and Riley's horrible fate is not replicated across the country. However, if
15:01
you continue to refuse to exercise your authority as president, your administration must provide
15:07
the information necessary for Georgia and other states to protect our citizens. He also
15:13
says, why would my administration not made aware of the asylum claims and subsequent
15:18
release of an illegal resident who presented fraudulent identification. See that's part of the
15:22
story. Get back to that in a second. Says, what is the
15:26
current immigration status of Jose Antonio at Barra and why has this information not been
15:31
relayed to my administration? What additional information does your administration possess regarding these individuals
15:37
and circumstances surrounding their entry into the country. So yeah, apparently Ibarra's brother,
15:48
Diego was charged with presenting law enforcement with a fake permanent residency card,
15:58
and apparently this was at the time of being questioned about his brother. So
16:04
yeah, when is the accountability police going to start asking about accountability for crimes
16:12
that are committed against Americans? I know, we hear stories about fentonyl coming
16:18
across the border and people dying from that and saying, well, someone should
16:21
be held accountable for it. Yeah, these actions are much more direct.
16:26
You want to try to decipher and decode something that Donald Trump said and say
16:30
that's him telling people to go into the Capitol building and cause problems. But
16:37
this is pretty much let people come in, encourage them to come in,
16:42
allow them to just go on about their lives within the country. Are they
16:48
contributing anything without any sort of residency or ability to work? I mean,
16:55
what is the role once you come here? What is the better life that
16:57
you're coming here for? And then this horrible tragedy takes place because someone was
17:06
just allowed to come into the country, see people coming in and Trump We
17:12
got blasted and called racists for saying this. The people who want to come
17:17
here for a better life that are saying, look, the place where I
17:22
am is horrible and I need to come to a place that will give me
17:26
some sort of opportunity, versus the people that are just sneaking across and we
17:32
don't know who they are. It's hard to know. My wife came to
17:37
this country legally. We had to do paperwork, we had to file.
17:41
It was expensive, it was time consuming. It took a very long process.
17:47
If we want to talk about time, but filling out the paperwork.
17:52
We hired attorneys to make sure that we crossed all the t's and dotted all
17:55
the i's. We don't want to go through all that again, so we
17:56
hired an attorney to make sure all that was going to happen. I realize
18:00
not everybody can afford that you want to tell me that the process should be
18:03
done differently, and it should be cheaper, it should be easier. Sure,
18:07
that's fine. Believe me, we lived it, we experienced it.
18:12
It was not a fun process to go through, but it meant something when
18:17
we were done. And the point when you get that permanent residency card,
18:21
you get told, hey, you don't get to you have problems, you
18:26
think about going home. We're not going to give you any sort of social
18:30
aid. That's not going to happen. You're accountable for yourself. Once we
18:33
give you this permanent residency card, you've applied for it, we've given it
18:37
to you, and we can take it away. You don't just get to
18:41
have it. Then eventually we applied for citizenship for Jill. That changes then.
18:48
But you come in the legal way, you're not eligible for all that
18:52
free stuff sneak across the border. That's different. Trump got accused of saying,
18:57
or was accused of being racist for saying, Look, the best of
19:00
the best aren't coming in across the border illegally. They're trying to send us
19:06
their worst, the criminals. That's what they want to do. They want
19:10
to unload that on us. And now that We've got so many people coming
19:15
from China and a lot of questions about why that's happening. But that's another
19:18
topic I want to know about, this accountability, And I think Governor Kemp
19:22
is exactly right. Why haven't there been answers to these questions? And if
19:27
we're going to say you can charge the former president of the United States,
19:33
the front runner for the Republican nomination, the front runner to win the presidency
19:37
based on polling, right now, if you're going to say that he should
19:45
not be on ballots, that he should not be eligible to run for president,
19:49
that he should go to jail for what you interpret something he said that
19:56
someone may have interpreted it in a way that would cause them to go into
20:00
the Capitol building. But you're going to allow people to just float across the
20:04
border and commit crimes and kill people, whether it's through fentanyl or through brutal
20:10
murder like this particular case. And it's horrible. I'm looking at a picture
20:15
of Lake and Riley right now. It's awful. This is terrible, and
20:18
there should be some accountability in this. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
20:23
State University's Coca Cola Space Science center inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM
20:32
leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they do
20:37
it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science
20:41
Center, but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn
20:45
engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are
20:52
booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on
20:59
their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of
21:04
their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob
21:11
School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike
21:15
any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things
21:19
that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this
21:23
really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction
21:29
that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science
21:36
Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates
21:41
for the shows and also check out when the next Astronomy night's coming up where
21:45
you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Co Cola Space Science
21:49
Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want
21:53
any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night
21:57
events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisan
22:03
says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands
22:07
for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you
22:15
by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
22:18
commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
22:26
always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
22:32
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that
22:36
away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions
22:40
about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
22:44
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you
22:48
need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand
22:51
new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens
22:56
and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue that you've got. With
23:00
colder, warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe
23:06
you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your
23:10
garage door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space
23:14
as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
23:18
work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
23:21
man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite
23:23
all the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and
23:27
again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
23:32
your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need
23:36
somebody to come help, And they do those as well. Seven oh six
23:40
thory five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred
23:45
O dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break,
23:57
All right, get ready for it. It's Chizza. KFC is rolling it
24:03
out nationally today. I guess you need to check your favorite KFC location before
24:11
you try to order the chizza. But the cold favorite snack, been available
24:15
overseas for years is now finally here in the US as of today. Two
24:22
extra crispy pieces of chicken top with sauce, cheese, and a few slices
24:27
of pepperoni. I guess it launched on Friday in New York and now it
24:36
is available nation. Why the chizza, I guess that's saying it right.
24:41
I would say pizza, and I would say chicken. So chizza not chiza.
24:48
I mean to me that more implies cheese than chicken. But anyway.
24:52
Scientists from the University of Queensland and Australia have discovered a new species of snake
24:56
twenty six feet long and has a human sized head. The snake was not
25:03
discovered in Australia. Calm down, everybody says, why would I want to
25:07
go there? They got all those snakes and spiders. The snake was discovered
25:11
in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador. So yeah, good luck trying to go
25:15
to bed tonight and not thinking about the giant human head sized snake. I'm
25:23
sorry, the snake with a giant human head sized head. Right. Ah,
25:29
it's terrifying. I mean that sounds like that seen in Beetlejuice, doesn't
25:33
it. I mean that's literally I guess what it would be twenty six feet.
25:37
That sounds like I guess that's what it would be. When it comes
25:41
to wanting to get married, you would probably think that women drop the most
25:44
hints. Not so fast. A survey of married Americans found thirty nine percent
25:48
of men admitted to dropping hints about tying the knot, compared to twenty eight
25:52
percent of women who did the same. The hints took the form of talking
25:56
about other friends who had gotten married, asking to meet the other partners,
26:02
parents or family members, recommending they watch movies about weddings or engagements, among
26:06
other things. The survey found that, on average, it took eight months
26:11
for the hinting to eventually lead to a proposal, with men dropping about fifteen
26:15
hints over that time women hinting about twelve times. I have a theory on
26:19
this, okay, and I haven't really dug into this survey very much,
26:22
but I do have a theory. I think since we still I mean,
26:27
I know this is not going to be popular with some groups, it still
26:32
typically men usually are the ones that do the proposing, and I think that
26:37
they're kind of maybe, you know, checking things out, feeling things out,
26:41
trying to decide whether or not they're going to get that yes. Nobody
26:45
wants to propose and get the know, you know, so I think that's
26:49
just my guess. That's my theory on why guys might be dropping hints.
26:55
Maybe they're just kind of feeling things out, trying to gauge exactly where things
27:00
stand and whether or not they're going to get the yes. That's my theory.
27:03
Gems are reporting the rise of ozempic and similar drugs that are causing declines
27:10
in workouts, and it's not just because you take the drug and lose weight
27:14
without having to exercise. It's due to the fact that people get sick and
27:18
vomit during their workouts because they've been taking them. They say. I guess
27:23
dizziness and nausea are a side effect of the drugs, and personal trainers are
27:30
reported they have people that are taking them. They come in, they do
27:33
a workout, and then they vomit. Basically, a decline in GEM attendance
27:37
has happened partly because of it, and I guess if they can just keep
27:41
cranking out the drug. You know, there was a shortage of ozempic for
27:45
people who needed it for their diabetes treatment. And I suppose if you know,
27:52
they're able to make enough of it and people are able to just use
27:55
it as a weight loss drug, even though that's not what it was ever
27:57
really intended to be in the beginning. But you know, if it works
28:04
and they're okay with it and people want to take it and their doctor is
28:07
fine with it, hey go nuts, all right. If you've been thinking
28:11
about adopting a new pet, now's a good time to do it. Plenty
28:17
of dogs and cats to choose from. The shelter population in the US has
28:19
risen by nine hundred thousand animals since twenty twenty one. If you're a dog
28:25
lover, you're really in luck. USA today says shelters are teeming not only
28:29
with the kinds of dogs that people might imagine, like large breed MutS and
28:33
pit bulls, but also huskies, French bulldogs, and designer dogs. But
