This Is About Embarrassing Trump · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start your
0:06
day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show. Thursday morning,
0:12
twenty first day of March. I'm West thanks for joining me. Second full
0:16
day spring here in the twenty second day of March, actually a first full
0:22
day of spring. Everybody pointed out that the equinox actually happened around eleven o'clock
0:30
on the nineteenth, so that makes yesterday the first full day of spring.
0:36
And that's how they lay it all out. But everybody knows. Everybody knows
0:41
when spring starts. Beginning of March. That's when spring starts. You can
0:46
go with all the technical stuff and all the equinoxes and all that, but
0:50
we know we go on a three month cycle thing. All right, We've
0:54
talked about this before you got this is the start of March. April May,
0:59
that spring, June, July, August, that summer, September,
1:03
October, November that's fall, December, January, February that's winter. Doesn't
1:07
matter where you want. You can get all into the equinoxes and solstices and
1:12
all that. And I know that's a very technical way to break it down.
1:15
If you want to get into all that, but anyway, it is
1:19
another cool start for us here in the Chattahoochee Valley this morning. Not quite
1:25
as cold as it's been the past couple of days, but we're getting that
1:30
next coating of all the pollen and all of the buds are coming out again
1:36
that got blown off. We're into that phase of all of it. So
1:41
we're also into the phase of this New York mess. That's the best way
1:49
to put it. It's a mess with Trump and his bond and the former
1:53
president, of course you've probably heard, expected to come up with almost half
1:59
a billion dollars just so that he can pay this bond and that he can
2:04
appeal the ruling against him. And so what they want him to do,
2:10
first of all, is be embarrassed. That's that's the goal of all of
2:15
this, is to make this as embarrassing as possible. This particular case wasn't
2:20
one of the ones where they said we're gonna get him and we're going to
2:23
keep him off the ballot because we want to be the ones who decide who
2:29
can run for president. We don't want voters to be able to decide that.
2:32
I mean, not that they've ever said that out loud outside you know,
2:37
closed door meetings, they say that. I know that. They say
2:39
that, they don't say it out loud. They don't want everybody to hear
2:43
that. They don't want everybody to know it. I know people who've told
2:46
me that they're completely fine with some of the things that the indictments against Trump
2:52
because they don't want him to run again. They don't like him, they
2:57
don't want him to have the option to run again. And they're okay with
3:00
the president of the United States's justice system attacking the person who's running against him,
3:07
right, They're okay with that because all they want to do is make
3:09
sure that Trump cannot be president again. It's looking less and less like they're
3:15
going to be able to keep him off any ballots. That a lot of
3:19
these trials, if they even end up happening, they'll be moot. If
3:23
they're scheduled for any time after November, they really will be completely obsolete.
3:30
They'll probably want to go through with him, just like they went through a
3:34
couple of impeachment hearings at him, just for fun. And it is a
3:39
strange place that we're in when you have people running for office under the guys
3:46
I'm going to get this candidate that people in the area where I live don't
3:52
like. That's going to be the whole basis for me running for office is
3:58
that I'm going to get him. I'm going to promise you that I'm going
4:00
to get him. Nancy Pelosi, did it. We promise if you give
4:03
us control of the House again, we're going to impeach him. We'll find
4:08
a reason to impeach him. We're going to impeach him. He's acquitted,
4:13
which effectively, you know, nullifies the impeachment. It's still sort of that
4:17
scarlet letter, you have to walk around with it. And then right before
4:21
he leaves office, they say, oh, we're going to impeach him again,
4:25
just so that he'll be the only president to be impeached twice. Again,
4:30
nothing sticks, acquitted, move on, life goes on, and they
4:33
were hoping maybe, just maybe he would go away, and of course he
4:36
wasn't going away. He runs again, and then they think, well,
4:39
let's come up with some of these charges. We can hang on him no
4:43
matter what the reach is. We want to get him in court. We
4:46
want to tie him up during the election cycle. That's what we want to
4:48
do. This one is a little bit different than some of the others.
4:53
And we know what's going on in Georgia, we know what's going on with
5:00
with Fulton County. They're trying now Trump and his co defendants are trying still
5:08
to get Fannie Willis removed from the case. She probably should have been.
5:13
I think in most circumstances she would have been for the things that she's accused
5:18
of doing, for some of the things that were said in court that were
5:23
clearly not true. Whether it's her or whether it's you know, the guy,
5:30
they kicked him off of this case. He's not able to work on
5:33
it anymore. But they allowed her to stay there. And that's what the
5:39
Trump lawyers, as well as the lawyers of the rest of the of the
5:46
defendants, are saying. We need this to really be looked at again because
5:50
it seems to very much be political as to why she wasn't taken off.
5:57
It would have meant a lot. It would have taken her or like basically
6:00
out of office effectively. It would have really crippled a lot of things.
6:05
But these are the kind of things that you have to think about when you
6:09
just start throwing cases, when you're playing that game of throw a piece of
6:14
bologney at the tape target you make on the wall when you're playing that game
6:17
with cases and you go, oh, we got us a big one here.
6:20
We're gonna run for this office saying that we're gonna get Trump. That's
6:26
what we're gonna do. We're gonna do that for our voters. We're gonna
6:28
get him here in a county that can't even count votes until you know,
6:32
basically the election should be decided and then we'll go find some boxes and count
6:36
them and figure out who won in Georgia. So when you're throwing a case
6:43
like this out there, you're putting a lot in jeopardy. You should be.
6:46
There should be a lot at stake, and it shouldn't just be we're
6:50
gonna do this and get him and then you find out that there's some level
6:56
of corruption going on there. So yes, they're appealing it, and they
7:00
should be appealing it, and this should have been won the first core.
7:04
To me and most experts that aren't jumping into this from a political standpoint,
7:10
agree, all of the things that were brought up, all of the concerns
7:14
that were brought up by Trump and his co defendants should be This is something
7:19
that she should have been removed from the case, and it would have jeopardized
7:23
a lot of things in Fulton County. But anyway, this is a different
7:27
kind of case. This is a case where they're saying this ridiculous notion that
7:34
over putting a higher value on his property in order to secure a loan where
7:45
he paid the money back. There's no real loss at all, And they're
7:51
telling him that he has to pay this four hundred and fifty two million dollar
7:59
bond half a bit billion dollars almost just so that he can appeal it.
8:03
And what they want to do they want to get him to a position where
8:09
they can possibly start taking his property, his New York property from him.
8:13
They want to take some of his iconic New York property from him, and
8:16
they're saying they're going to do that on Monday. If he doesn't come up
8:18
with the money. He says he can't put the properties up for collateral.
8:24
They're saying, you should be able to do that. Why can't you put
8:26
your property up for collateral. He shouldn't have to. First of all,
8:31
four hundred and fifty two dollars for this bond is absolutely ridiculous. Highest that
8:35
has ever been in a case like this ever and by far, and it's
8:41
it's a ridiculous scenario. And again you're talking about an attorney general in New
8:46
York who ran, who campaigned saying I'm going to get Trump. She went
8:50
on social media, she was out in public, she was in all sorts
8:54
of places laughing, I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him.
8:56
That's what she wants to do. So now on CNN a couple of
9:03
days ago, and I guess the and you have to excuse me, I
9:07
don't know the name of all these shows. Laura Coates Live was having a
9:13
panel where they were talking about this property scenario where Trump. They're saying Trump
9:18
should be able to put his property up as collateral for this bond. And
9:26
one of the guests that she had on was Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame,
9:31
and Kevin O'Leary basically says, it's really not even about Trump anymore.
9:39
He says, what a great message to send out all around the world.
9:43
Take a claim where there was no money lost. There was no fraud here
9:46
in the context of actual actually people losing money. Deutsche Bank, who made
9:50
the loan, was made whole. He says, it's a great message for
9:54
New York, great message for America. I think that that was a state
10:00
that would be much better made sometime in Venezuela. I'm not kidding. That's
10:03
a scary, scary message. There's no half billion dollar bonds there. Never,
10:07
It's never been done before. Never, this law has never been applied
10:11
forget about Trump. Nothing to do with Trump, everything to do with America
10:16
and the New York brand. I love this state, my children live here.
10:18
A horrible message to everybody around the world watching this, absolutely horrific.
10:24
Uh. Then they kind of sparred back and forth. He kept talking and
10:28
the host said it's my show, you need to stop talking. And you
10:31
know, they went back and forth for a minute, and she put him
10:33
made him shut up because she can, she's the host of the show.
10:39
A couple thoughts. One, I appreciate the message that he's giving. I
10:41
agree to some point he says it's not about Trump. He that's an attempt
10:46
I guess to say that people should realize that this is about more than Trump,
10:52
because it is. Okay, but it one hundred percent still is about
10:56
Trump. This is about embarrassing Donald Trump. That's what they want to do,
11:01
and what they're hoping I guess is that at some point he's going to
11:05
have to go to somebody like Elon Musk and say, can I borrow four
11:09
and or fifty two thousand dollars? And don't think that that's not a possibility.
11:13
Now, Musk who did his interview with Don Lemon, that the non
11:18
interview interview that got Don Lemon fired the first day on the job. Guy
11:22
had a job for an hour and a half with a great opportunity with X
11:28
and got fired that day because basically, as Elon Musk put it, Don
11:33
Lemon wasn't being Don Lemon. He was basically just still being an extension of
11:39
CNN. He can't get rid of those old habits. And one of the
11:43
things he asked, I think, I think I remember hearing this is you're
11:46
going to loan Donald Trump money? And he's no. And I think that
11:50
that's one of those things that it would be interesting. I know they want
11:56
to see that happen. I think that's one of the little bait baits that
12:00
they're trying to lay out there and see if they can trap Elon Musk and
12:03
say you loaned him the money you loaned him. I don't even know that
12:07
he can. I don't know how this works. I mean, from a
12:11
business standpoint, he should be able to do it. He's not giving it
12:15
to his election campaign. But they want to embarrass Trump. That's really what
12:20
it's about. This is about trying to put him in a position where they
12:24
say they're going to take money from him. And they wanted him to admit
12:26
this whole time that he's not worth as much as he's always said that he
12:31
is. That's the main reason that they even started all of this is they
12:35
wanted to get in a position where they could get Trump to say, yeah,
12:39
in court, yeah I overvalued my assets. And they wanted him to
12:46
admit that because they've always asked, well, we want to see your tax
12:50
returns, we want to see you know how much money you have. We
12:54
want to know. They've always wanted to dig into that, and that's always
12:56
been a big concern of theirs because they want to embarrass him. They've wanted
13:01
to embarrass him all along. That's what the two impeachments were about. That's
13:05
what realistically. I won't say that the other indictments were about embarrassing him.
13:11
I do think those were about trying to keep him off the ballot because they're
13:16
concerned that there is a large contingency of Americans who want to vote for him.
13:22
We also have some laws that changed in some states to make it harder
13:28
for people to vote on behalf of other people. They want signatures, they
13:33
want you know, dropboxes with better security. There's a lot of things.
13:39
The mail in situation is they're hoping to be able to fine tune that in
13:43
a number of states. I've said this before. I've made this suggestion a
13:48
couple of times. I think in states like Georgia, specifically, I think
13:52
that every county in Georgia should sit back and not turn in the results of
13:58
their election until Fulton County turns theirs in. I'd like to see that just
14:03
one time. I'd like Fulton County to be the first one to turn in
14:07
their final results. Everybody else should just sit on them and wait. I'd
14:11
like to see that happen. Wouldn't that be fun? But this, more
14:15
than anything else, is that was about keeping him off the ballots, all
14:20
those indictments. But this whole situation in New York is about embarrassing him.
14:24
It's the same thing over and over again. They want to poke the bear
14:30
and see what reaction they can get. They keep talking about it. They're
14:33
milking this for headlines. Trump has until Monday or they're gonna take his properties.
14:39
Do we think that's really gonna happen? Do you really think that they're
14:43
gonna Trump's going to allow this to get to that stage by Monday. Now
14:48
he's making the case that he's not gonna be able to come up with it.
14:52
I suspect at some point by Monday, it's gonna get taken care of.
14:58
But I don't know. I don't know how this is going to play
15:00
out. I just feel like the attempt at embarrassing him, and if they
15:03
could rope in somebody like Elon Musk or some other really rich person to help
15:11
him cover the bond so that he can have his appeal, because that's the
15:15
whole deal. He can't have the appeal unless he covers the bond. If
15:18
they can rope somebody like Elon Muskin, then they go right back to ce.
15:22
Elon Musk, he's in it for Trump. He's helping out Trump.
15:26
That's what he's trying to do. He wants to help him out, so
15:28
he's giving him money. Look at this, it's about embarrassing him. I
15:33
appreciate the comments. Kevin O'Leary said, it's a very bad look for the
15:39
country. It's a very bad look for New York. He also pointed out,
15:43
and I'm gonna paraphrase it, I don't have the exact quote, but
15:45
he basically said, at some point, we're going to have different leadership in
15:50
New York. This Attorney general is going to be gone, and this is
15:54
going to now be laid out like this will have happened and they won't be
15:58
there. But they've got their reasons for doing it. But I mean,
16:03
I think it's there's the twofold with this. It is about Trump, but
16:07
it's not about Trump. It's about embarrassing Trump. But the big picture for
16:11
all of this is they're telling the world that if you're gonna bring your money
16:15
to America, you're gonna bring your money to New York, and you're gonna
16:19
bring your assets to New York. Could they be put in jeopardy if we
16:25
just don't like you. And I think the message now is yes, no
16:29
matter how much it is. Today's show brought to you by Columbus State University's
16:32
Coca Cola Space Science Center inspiring and educating the youth and future STEM leaders and
16:41
STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they do it for
16:45
school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca Cola Space Science Center,
16:49
but they also do it through their university programs where you can learn engineering,
16:55
astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and STEM fields are booming right
17:02
now. And you can learn more about maybe getting your degree on their website
17:07
CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some of their upcoming
17:14
programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the schwob School of
17:19
Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's unlike any concert
17:25
experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those things that when
17:29
you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in
17:33
Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
17:38
right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space Science Center.
17:44
And the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming dates for
17:48
the shows and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming up. Where
17:53
you can get outside. Sometimes you do it at the Co Cola Space Science
17:57
Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want
18:02
any light interference, and you can do that as well upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:06
Also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Cruisin says
18:11
Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just remind you that it stands for
18:17
Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
18:22
Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs, commercial
18:27
or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for. It's always
18:34
good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:38
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring that away
18:44
for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them questions about
18:48
some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
18:52
Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and you need
18:56
some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new
19:00
garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door opens and
19:03
closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got. With colder
19:08
or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're
19:14
looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your garage
19:18
door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space as
19:22
a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to work
19:26
on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little man
19:29
cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite all
19:32
the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and again
19:36
they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having your
19:40
car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need somebody
19:44
to come help, and they do those as well. Seven oh six thory

dccolumbus dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, guess
20:07
who is back? Everybody's Favorite Pet from back in the day the pet rock.
20:14
When I say back in the day, the seventies. So if keeping
20:18
up with a dog or a cat is just too much trouble, I got
20:22
a neighbor in the neighborhood who can't keep his dog in the backyard. Dog
20:25
always escapes. You know who doesn't escape pet rocks. They don't go anywhere
20:30
at all unless somebody throws it, I suppose. But yeah, apparently the
20:34
pet rock is making a comeback. And this was a big deal back in
20:38
the seventies, and I guess the comeback is happening largely in South Korea.
20:51
People dressing their rocks up in seasonal clothing, taking them to events, talking
20:56
about their problems with them. Yes, it's some sort of a comfort for
21:02
them. I suppose social media is something that would help this have a comeback,
21:06
because as people see the rocks, they go ooh, I want one.
21:08
Height to popularity for pet rocks was nineteen seventy five and people were buying
21:15
about a million pet rocks a year back then. Yes, beware of odometer
21:23
fraud. So much fraud in the world in so many ways that you can
21:26
be taken advantage of. But one that's becoming increasingly common and not receiving a
21:32
lot of attention is odometer fraud. According to Carfax, the practice of manually
21:38
turning back o doomeinter readings, even the digital ones, so that you can
21:42
sell vehicles at a higher priced is costing American car buyers a billion dollars each
21:48
year. Earlier this week, the owner of several car dealerships in Kansas was
21:52
charged with twenty seven counts of criminal misconduct for tampering with odometer readings, among
21:59
other charges. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that more than four hundred
22:04
and fifty thousand vehicles were sold each year with false odometer readings. No word
22:10
on whether or not Cameron's dad's car is one of those cars from Ferris buel
22:17
or remember the phrase members only is something that's being taken very seriously at Costco
22:22
this day is We talked about this a while back as Costco continuing to crack
22:27
down on membership sharing. Last year, the company launched a major effort to
22:33
weed out non members by requiring membership cards to be cross checked against another photo
22:40
ID. And now they're cracking down on people coming in to take advantage of
22:44
their inexpensive food court items like the popular dollar fifty hot dog combo. The
22:51
food court had always been for members only, although the rule was hardly ever
22:56
enforced, but apparently that's over now. Locations have beginan post signs leting customers
23:00
know that effective April eighth, twenty twenty four, an active Costco membership card
23:07
will be required to purchase items from our food court. Let me put this
23:12
in perspective and understand Costco is its own private company. They can do whatever
23:18
they would like to do as a private company as long as they're not breaking
23:22
any laws. But let's put this in perspective. To go into Costco and
23:29
purchase something, all right, you go in, you got your membership card.
23:33
Someone is looking at the membership card, your photo on the membership card,
23:38
and then looking at another photo ID, and then I guess looking at
23:42
you. There's three ways they can verify if it's you. If you go
23:45
into Costco and you want to buy a hot dog at a drink or whatever
23:52
it is for a dollar and fifty cents, all right, you want to
23:56
be fed a hot dog and a drink for a dollar and fifty cents,
24:03
They're going to double check your ID when you get there, you have to
24:08
have your cost Co membership, and you have to have a second ID,
24:14
and then you have to have your face there, and they're going to look
24:15
at all three of those things and verify whether or not you are in fact
24:22
actually eligible to purchase a hot dog for a dollar and fifty cents. Meanwhile,
24:30
there are people in these United States who think it should be a crime
24:33
to ask someone to show an ID when they go in and vote in an
24:38
election, That it's wrong to ask people to have an ID so that they
24:44
