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, at twenty
0:12
first day of December. I'm West Thanks for joining me. Inching our way
0:19
into this holiday weekend. It's a Monday, is the holiday, but it's
0:23
a holiday weekend. The holiday being on a Monday, that makes it,
0:27
you know, even a three day weekend. Right. If you're working in
0:31
retail, God bless you. You got a very busy stretch of days coming
0:34
up. I did a very long, long, long stretch of time doing
0:42
retail over the holidays. It is not always fun. I didn't do it
0:48
anytime recently, so I don't really know exactly how it is now, but
0:53
I remember how it was then, and it was not fun. That's the
0:57
best way to say it. It wasn't fun then. I don't know that
0:59
it is now. Back then, that was I did it back before the
1:03
machines, you know, asked you for a tip for everything. That's how
1:07
long ago it was. So I guess that wasn't that much. Not long
1:10
ago, but it was. It was longer ago than that. It was
1:12
it very recently, but I've been there I know what you're going through hanging
1:19
there, and if you're out shopping, just remember that, you know,
1:23
they're dealing with a lot. They got a lot going on right now.
1:26
Not only are they trying to figure out how they're going to buy the g
1:30
I Joe with the Kung Fu grip for their kids. Not only are they
1:33
dealing with that, are they going to get some food on the table for
1:36
Christmas? Because all that's what everybody's dealing with. Because the economy stinks right
1:41
now, and it's rough. It is rough out there, and while inflation
1:46
isn't as bad as it was and that it's not increasing at the rate that
1:49
it was, it's still bad. There's still is We're not in a good
1:55
place, and it's tough, and gas is still expensive. It's all rough.
1:59
So just you know, have some of that empathy and compassion for each
2:02
other when you're out there and you're doing your thing. All right, Let's
2:07
dive into a topic that I've been talking about for quite some time. It's
2:14
starting to pan out and come to fruition, and it's this election interference that
2:22
is trying to keep Donald Trump off of ballots in states, and it's played
2:27
out now with a ruling in Colorado where they say he can't be on their
2:34
ballot, And what is all of that going to mean as we move forward,
2:42
And truthfully, at this point in all of it, it doesn't really
2:46
mean a whole lot right away, truthfully. I mean there is there's some
2:55
immediate sort of response that will come from it, but we'll into this just
3:00
a little bit. But basically, and it was a split decision, I
3:06
guess, four to three by the Colorado Supreme Court declaring that Trump was ineligible
3:12
for the White House because of the Constitution's insurrection clause, and they took him
3:16
off the state's presidential primary ballot. It's a blue state, it's not a
3:23
state Donald Trump was probably in any way expecting or counting on to win in
3:29
any capacity at all. So that's one thing that you push aside. Now,
3:36
can they get him off of ballots in other states or states that actually
3:40
make a difference. That will be ultimately the question. And I think that,
3:46
as I have said repeatedly, that anyone who is trying to keep a
3:51
candidate from being eligible for voters to decide if that candidate should be the nominee
3:58
for the party or that the candidate should be the actual winner of whatever the
4:02
race is. It constituteses an election interference. That's what it is. We
4:06
heard all about election interference. We hear those terms. This is the most
4:12
direct example of that there could possibly be. What do they think this is
4:18
other than election interference? And what disturbs me is that I know people that
4:24
they don't like Donald Trump. That's fine, I get it, you don't
4:27
like him. That don't have a problem with this happening. They just seem
4:31
to be oblivious to how dangerous of a circumstance this can be for this country,
4:38
for preserving our union, for preserving this republic, this idea that is
4:45
the United States of America. They don't see it as a problem. Hey,
4:47
we don't like him, we don't want him to be president again.
4:50
The best way to make sure he's not president is to keep him off of
4:55
ballots and states. That's an objective, that's a goal. So at this
5:00
point, this decision about keeping him off the primary ballot will be appealed,
5:05
it's all I guess that's already begun. This is something that's going to end
5:09
up going to the Supreme Court. Now, what is the long term effect
5:14
they want him off ballots. They want him off as many states as they
5:17
can get him off. They don't want they want to declare him. That's
5:20
where all these important terms. This was a very long game, well thought
5:27
out strategy of we're going to call this an attempted insurrection, We're going to
5:31
call this uh basically UH treason. Any of these terms that they can use
5:40
to try to disqualify him from being eligible to run for president, that's what
5:44
they want to do. We have a president now who clearly has moments where
5:49
he doesn't seem fit for office at all, and there are rules and things
5:55
in place that should prevent him from holding office if he's incapable of actually doing
6:01
the job. Probably should be some sort of mental aptitude test to see if
6:08
he's able to continue doing the job, and that he should be, but
6:12
that's not anything that anybody is advocating. I don't want Joe Biden to be
6:16
taken out of the White House. I don't want him to be taken off
6:19
the ballot. I don't think that that should be a decision made by any
6:24
one other than voters, and that ultimately should be the case. As the
6:32
front runner for the Republican nomination for president. This White House should not have
6:38
been able to go around and use the weaponize the Department of Justice to try
6:43
to go after him. But that's what they've done. So what does this
6:45
mean what happens now? Polling is going to very quickly show that Trump.
6:51
I believe Trump's numbers had gone up even more. Nikki Haley. This is
6:57
an interesting kind of side note on this. Vicky Haley had really been starting
7:02
to make some strides in a few places. This is going to hurt her.
7:09
This is one of those things where we're in a position now where the
7:15
left thinks that they're winning a battle, and they may be temporarily winning this
7:18
battle. They're not going to long term win this battle, but they think
7:21
they're winning the battle. Maybe they're getting this very temporary win to say,
7:29
look what we did. But they're not even able to spike the football because
7:32
they're getting an immediate response of This is helping Trump. Every single time they
7:39
have done something to try to take him out of the race, it's cast
7:42
his support his base to go up. And right now, if they really
7:47
hate Trump as much as they say that they do, and that the goal
7:50
is to just keep him out of the race, the left should be supporting
7:57
another candidate, which candidate I don't know. I don't know. I mean
8:03
Nikki Haley seems like. But they're not going to support her. She's a
8:05
minority woman. They're not going to show support for Nikki Haley. They hate
8:11
DeSantis, they're not going to support him. They say he's the only candidate
8:13
that's worse than Trump. Now, pay attention, because if it starts to
8:18
become a two person race between Trump and Haley, they'll say that Nikki Haley
8:24
is also as bad as Hitler. They that's what they do. It doesn't
8:28
matter who the other candidate is. They're as bad as Hitler. If you're
8:31
a Republican and you're in the you're just as bad. They were saying of
8:35
Dysantis at one point, Trump is the worst. DeSantis might be even worse.
8:41
I don't understand how that works, but that's another conversation. But the
8:46
polling is certainly going to do what it's done every time they've brought new charges
8:50
against Trump, it's going to go up. We're going to see an improvement
8:54
in Trump's numbers all of the and this continues to be the case with Trump
8:58
trying to win the nomination and running away with it is. Every time a
9:05
new story like this breaks, it is basically another chance for him to uh
9:11
just own the room. They use this analogy, they say, he's he
9:16
takes up all the oxygen in the room, and that's exactly gonna be the
9:20
case with this. This is another stretch of time where no one else will
9:26
get an opportunity because Trump is going to own all of the oxygen. Every
9:33
bit of it will be his, and this will be the headlines. They're
9:35
already talking about it NonStop. This is the news story, and this isn't
9:41
making people say, well, maybe we should think about you know, let's
9:45
look at Nicky Haley or let's look at ron de Santis. I don't know
9:48
how many Trump supporters would go for Nicky Haley instead of Ronda Santas if Trump
9:52
was out. I do still feel like a lot of the Trump supporters would
9:56
go to DeSantis. A lot of people like them both. They just feel
10:00
like that, you know, Trump has been wronged so much, they want
10:05
to do everything they can and try to support him in every possible way that
10:11
they can. And now you're getting a number of experts saying that they think
10:18
that you know, Trump is going to ultimately win this Supreme Court case when
10:22
it comes to his eligibility. So what's going to be the benefit of all
10:28
of this. It's only going to go for Trump. This isn't going to
10:31
help out the left in any way. Every indication is that we're going to
10:37
see Trump come out victorious, probably even in this case of the Supreme Court
10:46
hearing, some experts even saying they think that every justice will vote in favor
10:50
of Trump. I don't believe that there's at least three. Is at least
10:56
three that I don't think I would be shocked, But maybe maybe that would
11:01
be the case. I don't know, but I don't expect that necessarily to
11:07
be how it all plays out. But I do think that overall, this
11:11
is going to be something that is going to be This is going to be
11:16
something that is going to drastically help Trump and certainly push him further and further
11:22
in the lead on the Republican side. And I do think and all the
11:28
swing state numbers are continuing to come in and starting to show a bigger and
11:33
bigger lead for Trump and a lot of the swing states, so that those
11:37
results that won't even reflect this yet, This latest thing. So this latest
11:43
ruling, so we'll see how that goes. Another just this is interesting from
11:46
a study that came in Center for Immigration Studies has examined the US Census Bureau
11:54
data from the twenty twenty two Survey of Income and Program Participation, and it
12:03
says that non citizens far more likely to use government assistance programs. They're using
12:11
tax money to get by, they are trying to take advantage of the study
12:18
found fifty four percent of households with immigrants, even naturalized citizens, legal residents,
12:26
illegal aliens, used one or more major welfare program one or more fifty
12:31
four percent. Only thirty nine percent of US born households relied on those programs,
12:37
including food, housing, Medicaid, or the doll So that's some perspective.
12:46
So we got fifty nine percent of illegal alien households relying on it,
12:52
fifty nine point four. It says, an estimated fifty nine point four percent
12:56
of households headed by illegal aliens at least one taxpayer funded welfare program. And
13:05
I think this is again one of those things that's going to be a major
13:09
factor next year as we're knocking on the door of election year. I mean,
13:15
we're coming up on it very fast, a little over a week away
13:18
before we get to twenty twenty four, but with fifty nine point four percent.
13:24
So inflation is where it is. The immigration problem that we have in
13:30
our country as more and more folks flooding across the border, and more and
13:33
more states, even left landing states, are going, we can't house all
13:37
these people. I don't know what we're supposed to do. According to the
13:41
study an INDICATID, forty eight percent of illegal headed households used food programs or
13:50
medicaid, cash welfare and housing programs. So eight percent using food programs.
14:01
I mean, if you can't work and you're coming somewhere where you're not familiar,
14:07
and you're coming in basically saying, well, you know what do we
14:11
do? That's what you're going to have to rely on. You're going to
14:15
have to rely on something someone to take care of it. And ultimately that
14:20
becomes taxpayers who are struggling with inflation, who are struggling with the cost of
14:24
fuel, they're struggling with a number of issues that we still haven't even recovered
14:28
from since COVID, and adding more and more people into the mix, non
14:35
citizens into the mix, that are relying on handouts. It's just making things
14:41
more complicated. And this is and the left is trying to keep Trump off
14:45
the ballot. That's their goal. They're not focused on fixing these other problems
14:48
we have. They're focused on trying to make sure that the person that most
14:54
people on the right, according to Poles say, is the best option for
14:58
fixing the country just keeping him off of ballots. Today's show brought to you
15:03
by Columbus State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth
15:11
and future STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I
15:16
mean they do it for school age kids as school age kids visit the Coca
15:20
Cola Space Science Center, but they also do it through their university programs where
15:26
you can learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and
15:31
STEM fields are booming right now. And you can learn more about maybe getting
15:37
your degree on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check
15:45
out some of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do
15:50
with the Schwobe School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome.
15:54
It's unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one
16:00
of those things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think,
16:03
is this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a
16:07
major city attraction that happens right here in Columbus. Inside the planetarium at the
16:15
Coca Cola Space Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome.
16:18
Check out upcoming dates for the shows, and also check out when the next
16:25
Astronomy Night's coming up. Where you can get outside. Sometimes you do it
16:29
at the Cocola Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city
16:33
lights. You don't want any light interference, and you can do that as
16:36
well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events. Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot
16:41
org. As Sean Crusan says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
16:48
remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science Center CCSSC dot org.
16:53
Today's show brought to you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of
16:57
your garage door needs come marshal or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that
17:04
it's time for It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that
17:10
move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
17:15
care of square in that away for you, and while they're there, you
17:18
can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to
17:22
make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want
17:26
it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside door.
17:30
Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
17:34
when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation issue
17:40
that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and
17:44
it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a
17:48
screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and you can
17:52
use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
17:57
if you like to work on your own cars and there, or maybe you
18:00
just want a little man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door
18:03
up and not invite all the insects in. They can do that for you.
18:07
As well, and again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse
18:11
than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
18:15
won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do those as
18:18
well. Seven oh six thry five eight forty five hundred seven oh six three

18:29
Right after the break in England, an antique fake Christmas tree went up for
18:41
auction and sold for more than forty three hundred dollars. The historic fake tree
18:48
not being described as ugly, instead as being humble, thirty one inches tall,
18:56
twenty five fake branches, twelve fake berries, and six mini ca handle
19:00
holders. Originally, it was purchased for pennies back in nineteen twenty and was
19:06
one of the earliest mass produced artificial Christmas trees. So that explains why it's
19:11
got the value now. So someone bought it for pennies and now it sold
19:15
for forty three hundred bucks in an auction. That's a good investment. It
19:18
was the original person, though some beer industry experts say that the very first
19:23
Christmas beer was brewed by I'm going to try. A Trog's Brewing company out
19:30
of Hershey, Pennsylvania, about twenty years ago. Their special brew called the
19:33
matt Elf still brewed today. Since then, they've been splashing different flavors into
19:38
Christmas beers, including peppermint, gingerbread cookies, chocolate, cinnamon, clove,
19:42
vanilla, and others. The trick for brewers is to produce fun stuff and
19:48
sell as much as you can before the beginning of the year. Typically because
19:52
people don't like that stuff. It becomes the new year. Let's quickly move
19:59
on. It's not like I always wondered why they mark the Halloween candy down
20:06
right away, because if you think about it, it's just the candy.
20:11
You know, you get a Hershey's pumpkin, it's still just a Hershey's.
20:15
I know some of those companies were moving away from the packaging that had the
20:18
Halloween markings on it, But anyway, as far as the actual taste of
20:22
things like beer, yeah, they're moving on pretty quickly. Nobody wants to
20:26
drink a gingerbread cookie beer in January. Well, I don't say nobody,
20:32
but not many people. According to a new study, drivers of ram vehicles
20:37
are involved in more accidents to UIs and get traffic tickets at much higher rates
20:41
than drivers of other auto brands. Drivers of Tesla's Subarus, Volkswagens, and
20:45
Mazda's round out the top five. I don't know what they were driving yesterday,
20:52
but twice as I was picking Jacob from school that I have, two
20:56
different vehicles almost hit me by just not looking and trying to merge into the
21:03
lane that I was in within a two minute window, first from the right,
21:07
then from the left the second person. I didn't really get a chance
21:11
to communicate with the first person. Once I realized that they definitely needed to
21:17
get over quickly, I slowed down and let them in eventually once they collected
21:22
themselves, and then we ended up at a red light next to each other
21:25
and rolled our windows down and asked if she was okay. I know she
21:27
had to be rattled, So I mean, that's just me. I've been
21:32
there who hasn't tried to change lanes a little too soon. She came over,
21:36
you know, much more quickly and farther into my lane than I do.
21:41
But you know, sometimes we try to change the lane and realize,
21:44
oh, there's already somebody there, so I knew she had to be rattled,
21:48
so I just wanted to check on her and make sure that she was
21:49
okay. Are you one of the people this year who's going to be getting
21:56
a bonus from your employer? A new survey says more than one third of
22:03
American companies about thirty four percent, will not be giving their workers year in
22:07
bonuses. Authors of the survey explain that companies are doing away with small tokens
22:14
of appreciation in favor of saving money during a time of perceived economic softness.
22:18
That's a really, really diplomatic way to say it, isn't it. Of
22:23
the companies that are giving bonuses, most will dole out either the same amount
22:27
or less than they did last year. Only nine percent say that they plan
22:33
to increase this year's bonuses that they're giving out. And finally, what time
22:40
do you start cooking Christmas dinner? Apparently most people like to start early and
22:44
eat early. A survey found that Americans start preparing Christmas dinner at about nine
22:48
thirty in the morning, with dinner starting at three forty five. It takes
22:55
about three days to eat all the leftovers from the meal. That's about how
22:57
long they last. You don't want to go much beyond three days. I
23:00
don't think depends on what the leftover is specifically, clip it. There you
23:04
go. That'll do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to
23:08
