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, second day
0:11
of May. I'm wes, thanks for joining me. Is there is there
0:14
a name for May second? I know what's coming up on the fourth?
0:18
I know what yesterday was. Even the fifth has one right to Sinko to
0:23
Mayo, Revenge of the Fifth. It's got a couple for that one.
0:26
I like to celebrate safe Tomayo. I mean, if we start with the
0:32
the numbers, you might as well keep them going, see how far you
0:35
can go into the month. I don't think two or three has anything special
0:40
going for it, so they'll just be regular days and then we'll get into
0:44
you know, May the fourth on the on Saturday? Right, Am I
0:47
doing that right? And we get into that. Let's see two today,
0:50
three tomorrow. It's right Saturday. Plenty of time all day long to watch
0:54
Star Wars and just enjoy everything about Star Wars. So all right, So
1:00
a couple things I want to talk about this morning. Continuing on with the
1:07
confusion, the head scratching theme for the week, as tomorrow we'll do the
1:11
strange and bizarre news presumably that'll be the normal thing that we do on Friday,
1:18
although it's all been strange and bizarre news, especially with what's going on
1:22
on the college campuses, with the protests and at times riots. I know
1:25
some of them have been cleaning things up, God bless them. That's what
1:29
they needed to be doing from the beginning. It is interesting that there are
1:34
some of these protests that turn into riots or protests that go too far,
1:42
that we are now four years removed from twenty twenty, that they're actually making
1:47
some effort to clean up and deal with them. I'm not disagreeing that they
1:51
should be dealing with them. I think they should. I think there were
1:53
a lot of them that should have been dealt with four years ago. But
1:57
it all comes down to what the hope is, I guess for the people
2:02
that are doing the protesting, and I think we looked at a situation four
2:07
years ago, and I talked about this sum I think last week and the
2:10
beginning of the week where I do feel like when we get to some of
2:14
these protests, and that's when a lot of times you start seeing the voter
2:20
registration. Now, I guess they do it on tablets, but you used
2:23
to be clipboards, you start getting the info, you start getting people together
2:29
and say, hey, you want to be like minded with us. We're
2:31
at a weird period for the Democrats where they are trying not to upset these
2:38
people. I think because what they believe, and I think this is exactly
2:44
the truth. I think they're right that they believe this, That these are
2:49
people largely that are showing up at these protests that would have one hundred percent
2:54
been on board to vote for Joe Biden. Like I don't think we got
2:59
I don't thin there's a lot of people that are showing up at these protests
3:01
that would be even considering voting for Trump. Maybe you got some RFK junior
3:08
people. I don't know. I don't know exactly what the breakdown is on
3:13
this. I feel confident that these are not people who would have even considered
3:17
voting for Trump under most circumstances. Now, maybe there was a point that
3:23
they would have. Maybe you got some of these students that are, you
3:25
know, pointing out the obvious that I think a lot of people have kind
3:30
of started to become aware of, where they just go, well, wait
3:31
a minute, we're not better off than we were four years ago, not
3:36
financially, not as far as the country goes. We're in a tough place
3:40
right now. But I don't know that many of these students that are protesting
3:46
or feeling this way. I do think that the folks on the left that
3:51
feel like these were voters that Biden needs, they are. They're voters that
3:55
he needs. There's no doubt we're lining up for another close election. Things
4:02
are going to be interesting, and there's a handful of states that are ultimately
4:06
going to decide things, as is typically the case. But I do think
4:13
that we got some states that may be more up for grabs than they thought.
4:15
We got some states that may be leaning more right than anybody anticipated at
4:20
this point in the game. A lot of time still to come. We
4:25
don't know really how this is going to play out. With these Trump indictments
4:29
in these court cases, it does seem that you got some people that are
4:34
even more locked in on voting for Trump because of it. You got some
4:41
that are even more locked in on not voting for him because of it,
4:45
But those are people that's where they were going to vote anyway. I do
4:47
think you got a handful of people that are looking at a president a former
4:51
president who has been indicted on all these counts and basically saying he maybe more
5:00
one of us than we thought. And that's certainly something that's played out.
5:04
It played out during the primary season, got him to a position where he
5:10
says, they keep saying the presumptive nominee. I don't know what It would
5:13
take a lot for him to not be the nominee, but that's where things
5:18
are obviously heading. So these people that are protesting on these campuses that the
5:27
left would have said these are, they're us. There are voters. We
5:31
can't upset them. And I think it's pretty evident that that's how they feel
5:38
because we're not hearing anything really from the White House about these protests. We're
5:42
not hearing anything there about the demonstrations that the protests that are getting violent.
5:46
All we've heard really from the White House is we've already told you how we
5:51
feel about hate. That's kind of the message from the White House. We've
5:58
summed up feelings on hate, and that's all we're going to say about it.
6:02
We're going to move on. We're doing the forest Cump defense. That's
6:04
all I got to say about that. Think back to you know, six
6:11
years ago. Think back to four years ago while we were in the middle
6:14
of the campaign and between Biden and Trump, and think about the number of
6:18
times, well the whole Trump presidency, the four years, how many times
6:23
he was asked to condemn hate over and over and over again. If something
6:28
happened somewhere, they got, you know, please tell us that you would
6:31
condemn this hate. And it makes me realize that the left understands the strategy
6:41
in that they would ask then President Trump to condemn people who were his supporters
6:48
who were doing hateful things. They wanted a public dressing down of likely Trump
6:58
voters who who you know, they would like thrown around that term alt right,
7:02
Oh, that alt right, those horrible alt right, those Nazis on
7:06
the far right. They wanted him to speak out against them because they understood
7:15
that if he said something negative about them, it might create a situation where
7:19
they wouldn't show up and vote for him. They understood that that's what they're
7:24
afraid of. Now when people say, I don't know they're not speaking out
7:28
right now, I don't understand why they're not saying anything. That's why they're
7:31
not talking about these protests. That's why they're not saying anything. They understand
7:38
that those votes could go away, and they're counting on them. They're gonna
7:42
need them. They're gonna need them. They're gonna need them big time.
7:46
They're gonna need them. Or they're gonna need another horrible COVID outbreak. That's
7:51
what they're gonna need. They need some reason to make some drastic changes in
7:58
the whole election cycle in the way things are handled again. But again,
8:03
you know, you go back to four years ago, we heard from Biden,
8:05
no one who's allowed that many people to die of COVID should be president
8:09
again. So we can't go through another COVID to help this White House.
8:15
Really, but they need something to help them, or they're gonna need all
8:18
the people that they were counting on voting to show up and vote. They
8:22
need every single one of them. They need activists. They need people with
8:28
this kind of activist mentality so they know they can't say anything negative about them,
8:33
because it was the strategy that they tried to use against Trump, and
8:35
they used by the way the media their mouthpiece. People that they've got,
8:41
you know, they can call them in and sit them on the carpet like
8:45
kindergarteners and say you're not doing enough to help us. We're gonna need you
8:48
to help us. Remember that happened during the first year of this Biden presidency.
8:54
When you call in the media and you call all the executives and bosses
8:58
and say, we're gonna have talk here about how you're doing things because we
9:01
need you to do more to help this president out. You're making them look
9:07
bad. We need you talking about the positives. So they can't do that.
9:13
They can't risk the votes. They need these people to support them.
9:18
And what does it say about them that they need these people right? What
9:24
does it say that they knew that they wanted Trump to speak out against any
9:31
any group at all that might have been in any way perceived as quote unquote
9:37
alt right, a label that they were happy to throw around to anybody right.
9:41
They were happy to call somebody a Nazi or alt riot or fascist.
9:46
While we have groups of people screaming for the end of Israel, death to
9:52
Jews in some cases, death to America, and then rioting, and I
9:56
don't know what you would call them. Is there anything more nazi than that?
10:03
I don't know how we're just overlooking that. And this brings us back
10:07
to the theme for the week, which is a lot of people are just
10:11
confused. We don't understand this double standard that's taking place. I was out
10:20
somewhere yesterday and I overheard two people I do not know having a conversation about
10:28
these college protests, and I mean, it couldn't have been more just regular
10:35
sample of society, right. It was a very just overhearing a few people
10:41
talking, and they were angry, they were frustrated, they were confused.
10:48
Okay, they just were saying, I just don't understand why this is being
10:50
allowed to go on and continue on. And part of that answer ties back
10:56
into something we've been talking about this week, this meant of revolution, this
11:01
mentality of staying in a condition of revolt, has been encouraged by the left.
11:07
And there are people on the left right now serving in Congress that don't
11:13
just support the protesters that are calling for the end of Israel. They agree
11:20
with it, and if they could, they'd be right there with them,
11:26
being activists, they would be right in the middle of it if they could.
11:30
I don't know, maybe we've had situations where they were I haven't seen
11:31
any of them, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know, I've seen
11:33
relatives of some of them getting arrested. And that's the other part of this,
11:39
that people saying, hey, we can get arrested. I saw a
11:41
clip of someone yesterday or the day before being asked, well, what are
11:45
you going to do if they arrest you, they put you in handcuffs and
11:48
they take you to jail, and he said, oh, we'll be out
11:50
in twenty four hours. That's what happens. We get arrested, we get
11:54
released. It's been happening. It's been happening. I think it was one
11:56
of the New York schools. It's been happening all over. They arrest us
12:01
and then they just let us go, so we'll be right back out here.
12:03
And again, this has been encouraged. All of this is something that
12:09
has been allowed to grow like a cancer. And I'm not talking about just
12:16
general peaceful protesting. I'm talking about protests that have been allowed to happen in
12:22
the last five to ten years. It's situations where things get out of control,
12:28
people get injured, people get hurt, people get killed, and people's
12:35
lives are disrupted. They're not able to go to work, they're not able
12:39
to I mean, think about the situations where we've had families that have gotten
12:43
boxed in by rowdy people, and you've got a parent driving a vehicle that
12:46
says, I don't know what to do here, but I don't want to
12:48
get dragged out of my car and beaten like the guy over there did.
12:52
So they're in a situation where they're saying, well, I have to just
12:56
stay put, I have to keep my head down, or I have to
12:58
just up on the gas and do whatever I got to do to get out
13:03
of this situation. Why have we gotten to that stage where that's even come
13:09
up. Why are any sort of protests that involved blocking the street or disrupting
13:13
work or disrupting school. Why has any of that been allowed in the last
13:18
decade or twenty years. I get it. People feel like they don't have
13:22
a voice. They protest. I understand that. I get protesting. I
13:28
don't agree with the message of a lot of the protests, but sometimes I
13:33
hear a protest and it's peaceful, and I go, well, I agree
13:35
with them. And you know people that do a walk or people that do
13:41
a march, or people that there's situations where you can do things. Get
13:46
your permit, do your protest, and be heard in some capacity. But
13:52
that's not what we're experiencing now. We're experiencing not protests, we're experiencing revolution.
13:58
We're experiencing people being radicalized and an open border that's allowing anybody that wants
14:03
to come in just come on in. Doesn't matter if you could be potentially
14:09
an enemy of the state. Just come on in, Come on in.
14:13
We're gonna need you later. That's the mindset I know. We're not supposed
14:18
to say that. That's that the old replacement theory that people say. But
14:22
it's not just about replacement. It's about bringing in people that they're gonna need
14:28
later. They understand. You bring them in, you give them ten to
14:31
fifteen years to kind of settle in. We'll bring you back and we'll talk
14:35
to you. It's about allowing you to have kids, those anchor babies.
14:39
We're not supposed to say that anymore either. We're not supposed to address that.
14:43
We're not supposed to talk about the fact that, oh, you let
14:46
somebody stay ten fifteen years and get another census under your belt, and then
14:50
all of a sudden you get some representation in places where citizens don't live,
14:56
but people live, so people coming in, people flooding in, some of
15:03
them wanting to do harm here. Remember when Trump addressed that and he said,
15:09
they're not sending over their best people, They're sending over the worst.
15:13
They're sending over the criminals. And that was turned into the gas lighting.
15:16
Oh you heard that? Can you believe that? Did you hear what he
15:20
said? You know, that's what he said. He said that the only
15:24
people coming from Mexico were criminals and the worst people. Just what he said.
15:31
He just pointed out the reality that you got countries that are sending people
15:33
over that are not coming over here with best of intentions. You want to
15:37
come over here with the best of intentions. Typically, you do it and
15:41
you go through the system. You go through, you follow the paperwork.
15:46
It's what we did in this house. That's the way we did things for
15:48
our Australian American. She went through the process, She did the paperwork.
15:54
Was it difficult? Yes? Did we hire a lawyer to make sure we
15:58
got all the paperwork done right? Yes? Was that expensive? Absolutely?
16:02
Was the whole process expensive? Yes? Should it be so expensive? No?
16:07
Is there room for improving it? Absolutely? Should it involve people just
16:14
sneaking in and taking things. Absolutely not. No, it should not.
16:19
There should be some sort of questioning, some sort of question and answer about
16:23
what your intentions are right something. They asked her all of those questions.
16:29
She had to answer questions before she should come in because she did it the
16:33
right way. We had to pay money to have a person sit there and
16:36
ask us questions and tell us that we couldn't get any sort of handouts or
16:40
assistance because she came through the right way, because she paid for a lawyer
16:45
to represent her to make sure they didn't ask certain questions. That was one
16:48
of the other benefits in having a lawyer. By the way, it was
16:51
still expensive, but they prevented some personal questions from getting asked, because apparently
16:56
if you don't have a lawyer, they'll ask you, really person, some
17:00
questions when you're filing to come into the country as a spouse of an American
17:04
citizen, all that gets avoided. All that gets avoided if you just come
17:08
on in and then you can make your way to one of these protest sites,
17:12
or you can just take over a soccer field that someone is reserved and
17:18
they're supposed to be playing a match on, and whatever you want to do.
17:22
Hotels food. It was interesting hearing people complaining on some of these college
17:26
campuses. We don't even have water. They're not sending us food and water.
17:32
Go home. There's food and water at the house, right, you
17:36
got somewhere to go home to. You thought to pack a tent. You
17:40
didn't think to pack a couple of bottles of water. Or maybe they did
17:44
and they've just run out of it. It's that continuing theme for the week.
17:48
People are throwing up their hands and going why, why isn't there some
17:51
sort of fairness? Why is this something that has been allowed to happen.
17:57
Democrats loved it when it was going to help them in twenty twenty. Now
18:02
they're trying to figure out how do we use this. Can we somehow just
18:07
not say anything and keep these voters? Do we have to say something or
18:12
risk upsetting all the folks in the middle, all the independence that are frustrated
18:17
and think this is ridiculous. I just don't see how this goes their way.
18:21
There's no way to me that this doesn't end up with a lot of
18:25
egg on their faces. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca
18:27
Cola Space Science Center, inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
18:36
STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they do it for
18:41
school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
18:45
but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering,
18:51
astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right
18:56
now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
19:03
CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming
19:10
programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
19:15
Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
19:19
experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
19:23
you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in
19:27
Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
19:33
right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center and
19:40
the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for the
19:45
shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up where you
19:48
can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Cocola Space Science Center.
19:53
Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light
19:57
interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events.
20:02
Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie
20:07
Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for Coca
20:12
Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by Overhead
20:18
Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial or
20:23
residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always good
20:30
to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics. The
20:34
folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away for
20:40
you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about some
20:42
of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe
20:48
your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need some
20:52
repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
20:55
door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door open and closes.
21:00
Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder or
21:04
warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
21:10
at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage door
21:14
system that you can put down and you can use your garage space as a
21:18
sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work on
21:22
your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man cavid
21:25
you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite all the
21:27
insects in. They can do that for you as well, and again they
21:30
do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
21:34
trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody to
21:40
come help, And they do those as well. Seven oh six Thtory five

21:49
dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break. All right,
22:02
so you've heard of dry January, you've heard of no shave November and
22:08
it depends on where you stand on those things. Of course, the methodology
22:12
behind dry January is that people tend to you know, celebrate, be more
22:18
festive over the holidays, and then they start the new year thinking, well,
22:22
I should drink less alcohol. So that would one maybe help out with
22:27
me being a little healthier to start the year, to you know, reset
22:32
all the I don't know the settings on your liver and your kidneys or whatever.
22:37
I don't know. I don't think it's like a computer where you just
22:38
reset it. But that's kind of the thinking getting off to a better start
22:42
to the year with dry January. That's what that's about. No shave November
22:47
is a couple of things involved there, and I know people have tried to
22:51
say, well, it's about raising awareness about testicular cancer and male cancers,
22:56
and you know, that's fine, that's certainly noble causes. But I think
23:02
it probably initially just started with hey, it's a month to maybe just not
23:04
shave, and some people said, well, we'll save money on razors,
23:08
and that would be a positive to go with it. So there's positives to
23:11
go with all of it. Enter no mow may, Yeah, and I
23:19
think a lot of guys could get behind this, even though this is the
23:22
first month of the year of the calendar year where it becomes kind of important
23:27
to start getting a head start on your keeping your yard in check. However,
23:36
they say, if you don't mow your grass for the entire month of
23:40
May, it's gonna help the bees and the other pollinators. So here's the
23:45
idea. If you don't mow for the entire month, grass will grow.
23:49
The weeds they call them lawn flowers, but they're weeds right, will bloom,
23:56
and then native bees will emerge from hibernation and start doing some work on
24:02
doing pollination, doing be things. We got other insects. We've got the
24:06
cicadas doing cicada things. You got the bees doing be things. If you
24:10
don't mow your lawn. Now here's some suggestions. One, if you live
24:14
in a neighborhood and you've got an hoa, you may run into some problems
24:18
with it. And if you're gonna do it, and you're gonna do it
24:22
for the noble cause and not just pure laziness, probably want to give them
24:26
a heads up. Let them know, Hey, this is what my plan
24:27
is. I'm planning to not mow my grass to help the bees. I
24:32
mean, if they object, then you got to say, what do you
24:36
don't like bees? You got a problem with bees? You don't want to
24:38
help the pollinators. You don't want to help all of the flowers and the
24:44
crops that rely on the bees. What's your problem? That's what most people
24:48
do. That's the way people make arguments these days. Another suggestion, even
24:52
if you don't have an HOA situation, you may want to at least talk
24:56
to your neighbors. By the way, I'm gonna let the grass go.
25:00
We're just gonna let it grow for the whole month, and you know it,
25:04
let it get up there. Now, I know they say, maybe
25:10
not just mow as much. Maybe in some of the areas where you can
25:15
allow some of the weeds aka yard flowers to grow. Maybe you want to
25:21
mow the front yard, not the backyard. I don't know. There's some
25:23
other ways that maybe you can participate if this is something that you would like
25:29
to do. I assume that no one started the month yesterday mowing their grass.
25:33
Okay, so just there's also a no meat may. And this sounds
25:37
horrible. I don't know anything positive about no meat may. It can't be
25:41
a good thing. But people say, hey, it's a good opportunity to
25:47
I don't just be hungry all the time. I don't know, it's not
25:49
good enough protein. I don't know. I don't know what we know what
25:53
this is about, what it's really about. This is one of them environmental
25:57
things. They don't want cows, they don't want cow farts, they don't
26:00
want the cal farts changing the climate or whatever the excuses are. I don't
26:06
know. But anyway, if it's something that you want to do and you
26:07
want to participate, no meat may is apparently a thing. Also is scrolling
26:15
on your device ruining your relationship. Well, according to therapists, nighttime habit
26:19
of scrolling is bad for your love life, just social media scrolling. They
26:26
call it parallel scrolling, and it's the habit of you know, you're there
26:30
next to your partner and you're both looking at your phone. You're scrolling,
26:36
and there's no just conversation, there's no recapping the day, there's no pillow
26:41
talk, all those things. And there's a growing number of couples saying,
26:45
hey, their partner is not really interacting with them in any form at night
26:52
in the bedroom. So they say Hey, you know, we're not talking,
26:56
we're not communicating, we're not doing any of the normal activities. We're
27:00
just lying there and scrolling. And you know the other alternative for that as
27:06
you scroll earlier in the day and then you send each other the things that
27:08
you're scrolling. That's what you do. That's what couples do, isn't it.
27:12
That's what you do. And then you got certain people you send certain
27:15
things. Certain people like the dog videos, certain people like the cat videos,
27:21
certain people like the gross stuff, certain people just like anything funny.
27:26
You know, you got to find the people you're going to send it to,
27:29
and just make sure to include your partner in that. For crying out
27:32
loud, just don't necessarily do it while you're both lying in bed. Normally
27:36
you'd be at the very least chatting while you're lying there. That'll do it
27:41
