- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Monday morning, ninth day of June. I am Wes, thanks
- 0:15Speaker 2: for joining me as we kick off another week here together.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to celebrate my
- 0:28Speaker 2: good friend Colin Martin, who graduated from Harvard and got
- 0:34Speaker 2: his master's degree from Harvard. A lot of work he
- 0:37Speaker 2: put in to do that over an extended period of time,
- 0:41Speaker 2: and he hosted a gathering for folks and friends to
- 0:45Speaker 2: get together and you know, just take a moment to
- 0:48Speaker 2: celebrate the accomplishment. It was a good time. Got to
- 0:52Speaker 2: spend some time with some people, some that I've known
- 0:55Speaker 2: for a very long time, but I don't often get
- 0:58Speaker 2: to actually spend time with them, and had an opportunity
- 1:02Speaker 2: to do that, and got to meet some others and
- 1:05Speaker 2: then catch up with some others that I had actually
- 1:08Speaker 2: met at Atlanta United Games. So it was a good time.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I appreciate Colin and his wife Beth for hosting us
- 1:16Speaker 2: for that and getting always a good time when you
- 1:20Speaker 2: can go to the Big Eddy Club, always a good time.
- 1:23Speaker 2: And I just again congratulations to Colin, he's a listener
- 1:28Speaker 2: of the show. I know he's listening at some point,
- 1:31Speaker 2: maybe even the first thing this morning. I don't know
- 1:33Speaker 2: what time of day he listens, but I know he
- 1:36Speaker 2: listens every day, and he's one of our supporters on Patreon,
- 1:41Speaker 2: and I appreciate his friendship. And of course I always
- 1:47Speaker 2: say it in the end of every show of folks
- 1:48Speaker 2: that support us by listening, I appreciate that as well.
- 1:51Speaker 2: So anyway, good job, Colin. He referred to himself being
- 1:56Speaker 2: a big Georgia guy as a Crimson dog now and
- 2:00Speaker 2: I asked him if that was a nickname for the
- 2:02Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles now, and that the team is loaded with Georgia,
- 2:07Speaker 2: not Harvard, but Georgia and Alabama players and that could
- 2:13Speaker 2: be a nickname for them. But anyway, so I talked
- 2:16Speaker 2: last week about something that kind of spilled over and
- 2:19Speaker 2: it felt like we were getting close to this in
- 2:22Speaker 2: a couple of places, and of course it has now
- 2:25Speaker 2: spilled over into LA And you know, when you get
- 2:29Speaker 2: to the point where the President of the United States
- 2:31Speaker 2: is having to call the National Guard in to get
- 2:34Speaker 2: some law and order in place, it says a few things.
- 2:38Speaker 2: And now last week, what we talked about on the
- 2:41Speaker 2: show was and I just it's one of those things
- 2:44Speaker 2: where our sense of what is fair, what is right,
- 2:52Speaker 2: what is respectful, our sense of what constitutes peaceful, it's
- 2:58Speaker 2: kind of all just been thrown out the window. I
- 3:01Speaker 2: don't know of it as Americans as a whole we
- 3:06Speaker 2: have an understanding of what constitutes a peaceful protest anymore.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I mean, I think we do. I just think that
- 3:13Speaker 2: we kind of play this game. We pretend that we
- 3:15Speaker 2: don't understand, and I think most Americans understand. I do
- 3:19Speaker 2: think that we're in that place where most people do.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And I think that's a big part of the Trump win.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I think this call now throughout the country for some
- 3:32Speaker 2: sort of law and order, some sort of justice, some
- 3:35Speaker 2: sort of punishment for those who deserve it. We still
- 3:40Speaker 2: have obviously obstructionists along the way. We have George Soros
- 3:44Speaker 2: appointed judges and supported not appointed, but kind of appointed
- 3:48Speaker 2: in a way, appointed into a position to run for
- 3:52Speaker 2: these various roles throughout the country. But these judges that
- 3:58Speaker 2: are in place that are able to obstruct in every
- 4:02Speaker 2: way possible, to try to create anarchy in as many
- 4:07Speaker 2: ways as possible. And we play this game where we
- 4:12Speaker 2: pretend that, you know, people that are doing violent things
- 4:17Speaker 2: in the name of protest are actually peacefully protesting. And
- 4:21Speaker 2: we talked a little bit about AOC talking about the
- 4:29Speaker 2: anti Semitic attack that happened in Colorado. And we've seen
- 4:33Speaker 2: this now spike in attacks on Jewish Americans or Jewish
- 4:38Speaker 2: people in general that are in America, but especially Jewish Americans.
- 4:43Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those things where if you're here,
- 4:47Speaker 2: you live here, you've lived here your whole life, and
- 4:49Speaker 2: then suddenly this kind of hate that resurfaces from time
- 4:56Speaker 2: to time comes back, and it seems to be condoned
- 5:00Speaker 2: buy some folks on the left. Now, that's not what
- 5:02Speaker 2: was happening in LA. But we talked about that last week,
- 5:06Speaker 2: and I told you last week one of the things
- 5:08Speaker 2: that I've been doing, it's sort of part of my
- 5:12Speaker 2: doom scrolling, and honestly, I think it was I've just
- 5:17Speaker 2: sort of accidentally started doing it here lately because maybe
- 5:21Speaker 2: deep down I sensed we had an LA situation getting
- 5:25Speaker 2: ready to bubble up. I don't know, I don't know
- 5:27Speaker 2: why it just became a thing, but I will occasionally
- 5:31Speaker 2: when i'm you know, I'll get into someone will send
- 5:35Speaker 2: me a reel and I'll watch it and then i'll
- 5:36Speaker 2: just you know, swipe up and go to the next
- 5:38Speaker 2: one and just see what's on there. Typically i'm looking for,
- 5:43Speaker 2: you know, dog videos. I'm looking for something funny, something
- 5:47Speaker 2: related to a movie that I like. I saw one
- 5:51Speaker 2: I think the joke was and I'm a big fan
- 5:54Speaker 2: of the movie Predator, and I think I saw one.
- 5:58Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember exactly the word on it, but
- 6:00Speaker 2: it said, you know what happens when your friend at
- 6:06Speaker 2: the pizza buffet comes back with a salad plate. And
- 6:10Speaker 2: it's the scene where Schwarzenegger is talking to Carl Weathers
- 6:13Speaker 2: and he says, what happened to you? Dylan used to
- 6:15Speaker 2: be somebody I could trust. That's the kind of stuff
- 6:17Speaker 2: I'm looking for. That's the kind of thing that I'm
- 6:20Speaker 2: sharing with my friends on social media, just so you
- 6:23Speaker 2: got some perspective. Like that hits me right in the
- 6:26Speaker 2: sweet spot for the kind of joke. I like, that's good.
- 6:30Speaker 2: So anyway, but I just every now and then you'll
- 6:33Speaker 2: get a video and now I'm not a big fan
- 6:36Speaker 2: one of the videos that I'll get, and then I
- 6:38Speaker 2: have to make sure that I try not to watch
- 6:41Speaker 2: enough of it for it to get into my algorithm,
- 6:43Speaker 2: although maybe it does just by opening it up. But
- 6:47Speaker 2: the videos of the people who are just you know,
- 6:51Speaker 2: going out calling themselves journalists and trying to incite something
- 6:57Speaker 2: with police or trying to instigate a conflict with police
- 7:00Speaker 2: in the name of I'm a journalist. Now go to
- 7:03Speaker 2: some public area where clearly it's not in the best
- 7:06Speaker 2: interest of someone videoing and putting it online, and they
- 7:11Speaker 2: do that, and then they tell the police officers who
- 7:14Speaker 2: confront them, you can't do anything to me. I'm in
- 7:16Speaker 2: a public place, And technically they're correct, But it's one
- 7:20Speaker 2: of those situations where are you doing this in the
- 7:24Speaker 2: best interest of something that you're pretending is journalism, or
- 7:28Speaker 2: are you just doing it to be confrontational with police.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Is this something that is improving the perspective on police,
- 7:36Speaker 2: or are you genuinely exposing corrupt police officers or are
- 7:43Speaker 2: you simply trying to create a conflict so that you
- 7:47Speaker 2: can ultimately sue a police officer and it be yet
- 7:50Speaker 2: another mark against police officers in general. And you're doing
- 7:55Speaker 2: it maybe in most cases, probably in the name of
- 7:59Speaker 2: some sort of a lawsuit or some sort of a conflict.
- 8:02Speaker 2: A lot of people seem to be doing that try
- 8:04Speaker 2: to avoid those. Occasionally, it's interesting to see where a
- 8:09Speaker 2: police stop kind of goes wrong and you realize what
- 8:12Speaker 2: the police officer did wrong and where they maybe did
- 8:15Speaker 2: make it. But I'm not talking about people that are
- 8:16Speaker 2: specifically instigating. I'm talking about someone who's pulled over for
- 8:20Speaker 2: something that they didn't do, and it's pretty obvious that
- 8:23Speaker 2: they didn't do it, and then you kind of see
- 8:25Speaker 2: where things kind of go off the rails, and it's
- 8:28Speaker 2: interesting for a perspective. But the ones I really like,
- 8:33Speaker 2: I like the ones where people are confrontational with police
- 8:37Speaker 2: and then of course they get what's coming to them,
- 8:40Speaker 2: they get the justice that we've been and I think
- 8:43Speaker 2: there's a hunger for that somewhere in me. Maybe I
- 8:46Speaker 2: don't know, because often we turn on the TV and
- 8:50Speaker 2: we see what's been going on in La or we
- 8:52Speaker 2: see what's happened in Bolder, and we see what's happened
- 8:56Speaker 2: when you know, a guy decides I'm going to murder
- 8:59Speaker 2: the CEO of a healthcare company or a health insurance company,
- 9:04Speaker 2: and I'm going to do this in the name of justice,
- 9:08Speaker 2: and I've had some claims that weren't paid for by
- 9:13Speaker 2: a completely different company. But I can have access to
- 9:16Speaker 2: this guy, I can know where he is, so I'm
- 9:20Speaker 2: going to do this and kill him. And then you think, wow,
- 9:25Speaker 2: this guy's going to go to jail for a long time.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And then suddenly people around the country are going, yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 2: good for that guy. He's every man for us, he's
- 9:33Speaker 2: fighting for us. And also he's a good looking guy.
- 9:38Speaker 2: And then they starts sending him love letters. And then
- 9:41Speaker 2: I think, what are we doing? What is this? How
- 9:44Speaker 2: is this possible? Or I see protests on campus and
- 9:48Speaker 2: people are celebrating Palestine, gays and queers for Palestine type
- 9:54Speaker 2: signs that you see and you go, okay, people that would,
- 9:59Speaker 2: you know, throw you off a bit building if you
- 10:01Speaker 2: showed up with purple hair and Palestine and saying that
- 10:05Speaker 2: you supported gays and queers for Palestine, they would say, Eh,
- 10:09Speaker 2: let us throw you off the roof of this building.
- 10:11Speaker 2: You're not with us. It's just not how it works.
- 10:14Speaker 2: That's not what's going to happen if you go to
- 10:17Speaker 2: certain parts of the world. But I digress. I think
- 10:22Speaker 2: seeing that, I think seeing the fact that you got
- 10:25Speaker 2: people that you know, openly hating Jewish people, openly hating Zionists,
- 10:33Speaker 2: openly hating Americans who support supporting Israel. I mean hate, hate,
- 10:42Speaker 2: pure vitriol in the name of It's racist, is what
- 10:47Speaker 2: it is. That's what it is. And we hear people
- 10:52Speaker 2: on the left in media outlets that want to call
- 10:55Speaker 2: people on the right racist or anti Semitic, fascist, hitler, Nazi,
- 11:02Speaker 2: all these things, but in practice they're openly willing to
- 11:06Speaker 2: support or at least let people do their thing in
- 11:10Speaker 2: their protests because they don't want to denounce it because
- 11:14Speaker 2: they're worried they might lose those votes. They don't want
- 11:18Speaker 2: to lose that pocket of you know, activists. They don't
- 11:22Speaker 2: want to lose them in case they need those activists
- 11:24Speaker 2: down the line, because that's become a big business least
- 11:29Speaker 2: for some to get paid to go and do protests. Well,
- 11:32Speaker 2: if you're not going to support them, why would they
- 11:34Speaker 2: continue to do that? So you don't want to lose them,
- 11:38Speaker 2: you have to just kind of sit silently by, and
- 11:41Speaker 2: this kind of connects in some ways. Or we talked
- 11:44Speaker 2: last week about the big switch in America when everybody says,
- 11:48Speaker 2: just one day, a genie's made all the Republicans, Democrats,
- 11:53Speaker 2: and all the Democrats, Republicans and all the great accomplishments
- 11:56Speaker 2: that Republicans had through the years and fighting and fighting
- 12:01Speaker 2: against slavery, they suddenly became trophies on the mantle of
- 12:05Speaker 2: Democrats and Abraham Lincoln suddenly became a Democrat. Well, of
- 12:09Speaker 2: course that's not what happened. Did Republicans in the South
- 12:14Speaker 2: welcome in some of the former Democrats that they needed
- 12:17Speaker 2: the votes for in the South? Sure, I got no
- 12:21Speaker 2: problems with that conversation. You want to talk about that happening, absolutely,
- 12:25Speaker 2: But have Democrats currently been guilty of just letting anti
- 12:29Speaker 2: Semitic bigots just hang around, linger around, be part of
- 12:33Speaker 2: their group so that they can rely on them to
- 12:36Speaker 2: vote in elections. How's it different? How is that different
- 12:41Speaker 2: at all? So then we get to LA and this
- 12:46Speaker 2: is in the name of and just pointing out like
- 12:50Speaker 2: watching people get what's coming to them in a video
- 12:54Speaker 2: and knowing and in some cases you find out later, oh,
- 12:57Speaker 2: well they got off on the charges anything. Oh that's
- 12:59Speaker 2: not what I was hoping for. But anyway, so then
- 13:01Speaker 2: you get to LA and this is in the name
- 13:03Speaker 2: of course of immigration, This is in support of defying
- 13:11Speaker 2: ice as they are trying to bring some sort of
- 13:15Speaker 2: law and order, largely to the very strict, the very
- 13:24Speaker 2: like the worst of the worst criminal element of people
- 13:28Speaker 2: who've been in the country. So much so that when
- 13:31Speaker 2: a guy came to America a long over state, his
- 13:35Speaker 2: visa had multiple run ins with the law, including domestic
- 13:39Speaker 2: you know, issues with his girlfriend or spouse or whatever
- 13:43Speaker 2: she is. And then they grabbed him for being part
- 13:46Speaker 2: of a gang and part of a terror group. And
- 13:48Speaker 2: then they sent him to El Salvador and put him
- 13:50Speaker 2: in prison. And they said no, no, And they all
- 13:52Speaker 2: these politicians flew down there on your dollar to go
- 13:55Speaker 2: down there and meet with this guy, not the families
- 13:58Speaker 2: of any of the you know, people who've been killed
- 14:02Speaker 2: by illegals, but they go down, they get him, they
- 14:05Speaker 2: bring him back, and now he's facing human trafficking charges
- 14:09Speaker 2: in Tennessee. What are we doing because ultimately, okay, so
- 14:16Speaker 2: if he ends up convicted there, then he's gonna be
- 14:20Speaker 2: on us. It'll be a taxpayer, so it won't be
- 14:22Speaker 2: specifically us, but of course the people of Tennessee will
- 14:25Speaker 2: have to deal with it. Then it becomes a burden
- 14:27Speaker 2: on them. El Salvador wanted him back. That's where he
- 14:31Speaker 2: was from. That's where he is from. They had him
- 14:36Speaker 2: on a list to sending him back to El Salvador.
- 14:38Speaker 2: So anyway, so then you get to LA and there's
- 14:42Speaker 2: people defying ice and they say, we have to stand
- 14:45Speaker 2: up to authority. See, we've done this thing for years
- 14:48Speaker 2: where we've painted the picture of police is all being
- 14:54Speaker 2: Derek Chauvin, right. Every police officer is one of the
- 14:59Speaker 2: guys that beat Rodney King. Every police officer, that's what
- 15:04Speaker 2: the image has been painted. They've all been you know,
- 15:10Speaker 2: the guys who arrested OJ Simpson and a defense case
- 15:16Speaker 2: that was able to say, well, is it possible that
- 15:19Speaker 2: racism was the reason? Is it possible? And that was enough.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That was enough to win the case just by asking
- 15:28Speaker 2: the question is it possible? Is it just a tiny
- 15:33Speaker 2: bit possible? That's all it took. So and then of
- 15:37Speaker 2: course that became a standard for the law for a
- 15:40Speaker 2: long time after. It still goes on today. So you
- 15:44Speaker 2: watch these kind of videos and you watch people stand
- 15:46Speaker 2: up to police and they say, you don't have any authority,
- 15:49Speaker 2: you can't pull me over. What are you pulling me
- 15:51Speaker 2: over for? You were doing a twenty over the speed limit. Now,
- 15:55Speaker 2: you can't pull me over for that. I don't have
- 15:57Speaker 2: to show you my ID. I don't have to do that.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I'm not even a real I'm a sovereign citizen in America.
- 16:05Speaker 2: I don't have to show the ID. I'm not even driving,
- 16:07Speaker 2: I'm traveling. They pull all these excuses out. That's a
- 16:10Speaker 2: small group that's not even getting into the LA people.
- 16:13Speaker 2: The LA people are objecting because they think Ice represents
- 16:17Speaker 2: the worst of the worst. These are people that are
- 16:20Speaker 2: trying to just be racist and just grab people up
- 16:24Speaker 2: and send them out of the country, the actual worst
- 16:28Speaker 2: of the worst, you know, actual criminals. Now, are some
- 16:32Speaker 2: people being deported that are in the country overstaying their visas.
- 16:37Speaker 2: I'm sure it's happening. I'm sure it's all part of it.
- 16:41Speaker 2: In some cases, we see the imagery of the families
- 16:44Speaker 2: torn up. But they're taking the mom away and you know, well,
- 16:47Speaker 2: the kid can be deported too, but the dad's going.
- 16:50Speaker 2: But I'm a citizen, you know, why are you taking
- 16:52Speaker 2: mom away from the kids? And I know it's complicated,
- 16:58Speaker 2: it's all complicated, but I think many Americans are looking
- 17:01Speaker 2: at this and seeing, we just want some justice. We
- 17:04Speaker 2: want law and order, and if it takes the National
- 17:06Speaker 2: Guard to get law and order established in California. Mayor Bass,
- 17:13Speaker 2: Governor Newsom both not having a great run, not after
- 17:20Speaker 2: the fires, not after failure after failure that have happened.
- 17:26Speaker 2: So when you have to bring in the National Guard,
- 17:30Speaker 2: it's a bad look. And we know for certain Newsom
- 17:35Speaker 2: has higher political aspirations and he's upset. This is so unnecessary.
- 17:40Speaker 2: What are we doing. Yeah, it's another mark against you
- 17:44Speaker 2: someone who thinks that he's going to be president. He's
- 17:47Speaker 2: already taken the photos. He went to the White House
- 17:50Speaker 2: when Biden was out of town, and they took photos
- 17:53Speaker 2: of him in the chairs, walking around in the halls,
- 17:57Speaker 2: standing by fireplaces and columns and trying to look really
- 18:01Speaker 2: presidentially on his best blue suit or whatever he was.
- 18:04Speaker 2: He was looking sharp. That's all the photos. They posted them,
- 18:09Speaker 2: They had them, they leaked, They were supposed to be
- 18:12Speaker 2: saving them for his big campaign, and then they got out. So, yes,
- 18:17Speaker 2: president's doing what a president should do. If the governor
- 18:21Speaker 2: and the mayor they're not, they're not. You know, the
- 18:24Speaker 2: police have been in jeopardy, the citizens there have been
- 18:27Speaker 2: in jeopardy. And if ice is not being able to
- 18:30Speaker 2: do their job. The police force are not being able
- 18:32Speaker 2: to do their job. Sometimes you have to go one
- 18:35Speaker 2: step up. You got to bring in the National Guard
- 18:39Speaker 2: and you got to bring some kind of law and order.
- 18:41Speaker 2: If this had happened and been able to happen in
- 18:44Speaker 2: the past with some of our other riots, could have
- 18:47Speaker 2: even saved some lives. Today's show brought to you by
- 18:50Speaker 2: Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center. Hey.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Everyone, this is doctor Sean Crusin. I'm the executive director
- 18:57Speaker 3: of Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science I want
- 19:01Speaker 3: to tell you about a very special exhibit that we
- 19:04Speaker 3: have on display the summer. It's so big that it
- 19:07Speaker 3: can't even fit in our own exhibit gallery. It's just
- 19:10Speaker 3: too many pieces. This is a collection of items from
- 19:15Speaker 3: the personal collection of astronaut David R. Scott. Dave Scott
- 19:20Speaker 3: flew on Gemini eight with Neil Armstrong. He flew on
- 19:23Speaker 3: Apollo nine, a dress rehearsal for the moon landing, and
- 19:27Speaker 3: then most importantly perhaps he commanded Apollo fifteen, where he
- 19:31Speaker 3: became the first person to ever drive a car on
- 19:33Speaker 3: the surface of the Moon. Because Dave's brother, Tom lived
- 19:37Speaker 3: and worked here in Columbus, Georgia. With our Columbus Chamber
- 19:40Speaker 3: of Commerce. We got to be good friends with Tom.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Tom has coordinated a very generous donation of artifacts and
- 19:47Speaker 3: memorabilia from the Scott Brothers collection to us here at
- 19:51Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center. And again, that collection got
- 19:54Speaker 3: so overwhelmingly large we couldn't put it on display here.
- 19:58Speaker 3: That's why we're doing the exhibit at the Bull Bartlet Center.
- 20:01Speaker 3: They are open from eleven am to four pm Tuesday
- 20:04Speaker 3: through Saturday. Go down and check out this great exhibit
- 20:07Speaker 3: on display at the Bull Bartlet Center. Check out all
- 20:10Speaker 3: the other wonderful pieces of Arn't work down there as well,
- 20:13Speaker 3: and then come visit us here at Columbus State University's
- 20:16Speaker 3: Coca Cola Space Science Center.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Today show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus.
- 20:20Speaker 2: For all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's
- 20:29Speaker 2: always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts
- 20:33Speaker 2: that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door
- 20:36Speaker 2: Company of Columbus can take care of square and that
- 20:39Speaker 2: away for you. And while they're there, you can always
- 20:42Speaker 2: ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes
- 20:45Speaker 2: you'd like to make to your garage door. Maybe your
- 20:48Speaker 2: curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be
- 20:51Speaker 2: and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe
- 20:57Speaker 2: it's making a noise when your garage door opens closes.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got
- 21:03Speaker 2: with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in
- 21:07Speaker 2: and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where
- 21:10Speaker 2: you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
- 21:13Speaker 2: door system that you can put down and you can
- 21:15Speaker 2: use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor.
- 21:20Speaker 2: You know, if you like to work on your own
- 21:22Speaker 2: cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 21:24Speaker 2: man caved you'd like to be able to open the
- 21:26Speaker 2: door up and not invite all the insects in. They
- 21:29Speaker 2: can do that for you as well, and again they
- 21:31Speaker 2: do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought
- 21:34Speaker 2: of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 21:37Speaker 2: garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help.
- 21:41Speaker 2: And they do those as well seven oh six thorty
- 21:44Speaker 2: five eight forty five hundred, seven oh six three five
- 21:46Speaker 2: eight forty five hundred O dccolumbus dot com more West
- 21:51Speaker 2: Carol Morning Show right after the break a little. A
- 22:02Speaker 2: new survey found that one in six parents support their
- 22:06Speaker 2: teens getting non surgical cosmetic treatments laser hair removal, chemical peals,
- 22:15Speaker 2: dermal fillers for any reason at all, as long as
- 22:18Speaker 2: they have parental approval. The University of Michigan led survey
- 22:23Speaker 2: found that fifty one percent appearance believe that such procedures
- 22:27Speaker 2: should only be allowed for valid reasons, though there's significant
- 22:31Speaker 2: disagreement on what qualifies as valid. Thirty one percent of
- 22:34Speaker 2: those parents oppose the procedures for teens under any circumstances.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Fewer than forty percent of parents consider mental health issues
- 22:43Speaker 2: or bullying as a justifiable reason for cosmetic procedures. Look,
- 22:50Speaker 2: I don't have the stats on the folks that want
- 22:54Speaker 2: to make life style changes for their children, even at
- 23:00Speaker 2: the elementary school age, start puberty blockers and those things
- 23:04Speaker 2: for kids that they feel like they should transition. And
- 23:07Speaker 2: it's interesting that many of the justifications behind that are
- 23:12Speaker 2: bullying and mental health and things like that. So it's
- 23:16Speaker 2: interesting that this sheds a little bit of light on
- 23:20Speaker 2: that for something as far as just maybe altering the
- 23:24Speaker 2: way your face looks a little bit.
- 23:25Speaker 1: So.
- 23:27Speaker 2: A Pew Research survey found that thirty percent of American
- 23:30Speaker 2: adults consult astrology, tarot cards, or a fortune teller at
- 23:36Speaker 2: least once a year now astrology, Yes, just checking the
- 23:41Speaker 2: horoscope falls into that as well. Twenty percent of those
- 23:45Speaker 2: said that they do it just for fun, while ten
- 23:47Speaker 2: percent say they do it because they believe the practices
- 23:51Speaker 2: give them helpful insights. Twenty seven percent of respondents overall
- 23:54Speaker 2: said that they believe in astrology. For younger adults, especially
- 23:58Speaker 2: younger women, more likely to believe in astrology and consult horoscopes.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Forty three percent of women eighteen to forty nine say
- 24:06Speaker 2: they believe in astrology, compared to twenty seven percent of
- 24:09Speaker 2: women fifty plus, twenty percent of men eighteen to forty nine,
- 24:13Speaker 2: sixteen percent of men fifty and older. It's interesting, just
- 24:20Speaker 2: interesting from a research standpoint, that's all. That's about as
- 24:23Speaker 2: far as I can go with that. Hey, people in
- 24:25Speaker 2: Colorado are checking their goof compartments, junk drawers, coat pockets
- 24:29Speaker 2: for powerball tickets trying to find one that's worth two
- 24:32Speaker 2: million dollars. A winning powerball ticket was sold back December sixteenth,
- 24:37Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, at a gas station in Aurora, Colorado,
- 24:42Speaker 2: but the winner has yet to come forward to collect
- 24:45Speaker 2: the prize, and they have until June fourteenth to do so.
- 24:51Speaker 2: If no one steps forward to claim it, the money
- 24:53Speaker 2: goes back into the state's lottery fund to support community programs,
- 24:58Speaker 2: so it's likely the winning t ticket holder has no
- 25:01Speaker 2: idea they've won. So basically just a reminder if you're
- 25:07Speaker 2: buying the lottery tickets wherever you are, Colorado or otherwise,
- 25:13Speaker 2: you know, maybe check after you bought them. But if
- 25:16Speaker 2: you're playing it so much that you're not even bothering
- 25:20Speaker 2: to check to see if you want, I mean, what
- 25:22Speaker 2: are you playing for? But what is you just having fun?
- 25:25Speaker 2: How's it fun if you're not even checking to see
- 25:27Speaker 2: if you possibly want right? Taking selfies at work may
- 25:32Speaker 2: not always be explicitly prohibited, but it's not typically a
- 25:36Speaker 2: good idea for a number of reasons. Many employers make
- 25:40Speaker 2: it very clear that snapping selfies while on the job
- 25:43Speaker 2: is not allowed, but British Airways is going a step
- 25:46Speaker 2: further and banning crew members from posting selfies even while
- 25:50Speaker 2: on a layover that includes anywhere away from the airport,
- 25:54Speaker 2: even at their hotel. The airline says the ban is
- 25:57Speaker 2: about safety. They're worried that high tech tools can analyze
- 26:00Speaker 2: background details in photos to figure out exactly where crew
- 26:04Speaker 2: members are staying. Doesn't stop their crew members are being
- 26:08Speaker 2: told to scrub their social media clean from any past
- 26:12Speaker 2: hotel content, and if they don't, they could be out
- 26:16Speaker 2: of a job. So again, this is a situation where
- 26:23Speaker 2: on the surface it sounds extreme, but when you start
- 26:27Speaker 2: thinking about a number of things, including the people in
- 26:33Speaker 2: the world that are up to no good and maybe
- 26:36Speaker 2: a terrorist someone who wishes to do harm to a
- 26:40Speaker 2: lot of people, this could be bad. If they know
- 26:44Speaker 2: where you are, and they know typically where you stay
- 26:48Speaker 2: in hotels repeatedly and the patterns and things, maybe they
- 26:52Speaker 2: could use that against I don't know, a plane full
- 26:55Speaker 2: of people in another country, so it's worth noting. All right,
- 26:59Speaker 2: that'll do it for this Monday edition of the show.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Thanks to our sponsors and patrons. Thank you for listening.
