It's pretty convenient that so many people are so forgetful about things they have said when it's to their advantage.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
your day. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Wednesday morning, twenty ninth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
for joining me. Two more days till how Halloween, Hell Louis.
Season of the Witch Halloween three Season of the Witch
an absolutely underrated movie, cult classic. I know it found
its following later. I will admit the first time I
(00:33):
watched it, I'm like, what is this? Where's Michael Myers?
That's what everybody did. Where's Michael Myers? You know, he's
in the movie for what like eight seconds? Not even that.
I think it's like three seconds. He's just on the
TV for a second. Someone's watching it. That's it supposed
to be an anthology. They didn't want every movie to
be about Michael Myers. They wanted it to be each
movie to be something different. And when they did Halloween two,
(00:57):
everybody thought, well, then all these movies are going to
be about Michael Myers. And then that's not what it
was going to be. No, it was different. It was
about these people making these masks and they masked. Sorry,
I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to
ruin it for you. It's a great it's a classic
Halloween three underrated maybe if you're just tired of watching
(01:19):
the slasher movies and you go, you know what this
year for the holiday Halloween holiday season, that's a mouthful.
It's the first day with this mouth. By the way,
thanks for your patients with me. I know I have
there have been things where I have sounded a bit
different at times post surgery. We're moving on through this
recovery process and I'll be back on stilts for the
(01:42):
Nutcracker coming up in December. Get those tickets now, but
only from River Center Box Office, Rivercenter dot org or
the Columbus Ballet dot org, so you don't get ripped off.
But thank you for being patient with that, because I,
you know this, this I had to learn, not learn.
It's not like I lost my voice completely. I just
(02:03):
had to, you know, build my stamina back up with
my voice. And there's still been a few things. There's
things that I still hear. Maybe you don't hear. I
don't know, but anyway, thanks for your patience with that.
I appreciate all of you. Listenership did not drop off.
In fact, it's picked up since Charlie Kirk. I had
someone ask the other day how things were going, and
(02:24):
I said, sadly it's up, because I feel like it's
been up since Charlie Kirk. And we got some new
people listening really around the world. That's, you know, a
couple of countries I'd never seen anybody listening in before,
and I've heard from some people in other countries. It's
nice to hear from you. I appreciate you jumping in
and you know, taking a listen to what this Yank,
(02:47):
what this American has to say about things. But anyway,
I appreciate all of you being patient with me. This
is you know, been part of this continual process, and
I'm getting close, I guess to the end with all
of it. Once your doctor says you're okay to get
back on stilts, that's and I guess today, maybe yesterday
was the day that I was officially have permission to
(03:09):
get back on stilts, but I haven't needed to just yet.
Rehearsals didn't involve stilts yet, So once we get into
rehearsals with stilts, I'll be back up there. But anyway,
but back to the movie, just me saying that maybe
you get to this point in the holiday season, is
Halloween portion of it at least that you are you know,
(03:32):
maybe you're like, I don't want to do another Scream movie.
I don't want to watch you know, Jason again, or
you know whatever, Freddy, and there's all these options. There's
plenty of options. I'm just saying, maybe you should take
a minute and revisit Halloween three. Yes, it had its
shortcomings and that it wasn't a movie about Michael Myers,
(03:55):
but I think it's underrated and I think let me
just let me offer I was too much time. I
want Halloween three. I promise that was not the intention today.
But I just want to tell you this. If you
watch Halloween three, all right, if this is what you
do tonight or you know, maybe even Halloween evening, Yeah,
trigger treating's done, kids are eating their candy until they
(04:17):
throw up. It's Friday night maybe, and you're not going
out clubbing, you know, you're not going to a Halloween
party whatever on Friday and it's the evening time, and
you just think, man, I'm gonna watch a movie, and
what movie am I going to watch? I just want
I dare you to watch Halloween three and well, I
(04:38):
dare you to watch it, but I dare you to
watch it and try not to pick up on some
of the subtle things that you will also find in
the series, especially season one of Stranger Things. There's some parallels,
there's some things in there, and it's one of those things.
I think when I was watching Stranger Things, you know,
(05:00):
when that when it first premiered, that first season of it.
Uh And I've got a friend who worked on the show,
and uh so, at first for me, it was like,
oh wow, this is a show that he's on. And
then the show was so good and I thought, oh
my gosh, you're like, this is a great like it
was a hit. It was this mega thing, and I'm thought, well,
that's pretty cool that you were involved. But he's been
(05:20):
in things like Walking Dead, which also had that kind
of thing, so that kind of hype and and and fervor.
But I thought, well, I want to I want to
check out, you know, the show, also to support him,
but because you know, you know, hey, I'm looking for
our friend the show. Anyway, I think, oh my gosh,
there's so many things here that are little nods I
(05:42):
feel like too, and Stranger Things not only there's a
lot of Goony's comparisons, but I think the Goony stuff
is there, but also the Halloween three things. So I
think you just check it out. That's my recommendation for
you this year. I want to talk a little bit
about this. This all the Nazi talk, right, and I
(06:02):
think we've all heard it, and I think that there's
people on the left when a politician on the left
seems to forget that things that they've said. Gavin Newsom
is someone who lately has really been caught trying to
deny saying things that he clearly said, things that he
(06:25):
said that were recorded. He denies it, and then they
go back and they play the recordings of him doing it,
and it's like, well, you're just a liar. I'd like
to give people the benefit of the doubt and say, well,
maybe they're just forgetful. But I think this is the
idea of trying to rewrite history. You know, we just
talked about this recently, this whole notion of this big
(06:48):
flip that everybody go, oh that we you know, the
Democrats were pro slavery and pro kkk, like they started
it and that was all the big viit and then
they said no, no, no, and then one day the Democrats
became Republicans and the Republicans became the Democrats, and it
was like one guy, guy when you changed parties. Apparently
(07:11):
everybody changes parties when that happens. I don't know, but
this idea that you can just go back and rewrite
history and you can just say, well, and I understand, Look,
the South very complicated story when it comes to telling
the story. Okay, but this this thing that has been
portrayed as just there was just a flip, that's all.
(07:33):
It was. Everybody just one day that voted Democrats suddenly
was voting Republican. And then all of a sudden, one
day everybody's voting a Republican voting Democrat, and they just
they everybody just shook hands and said we're trading teams.
They traded jerseys and they moved on. And it's a
ridiculous idea. But I digress. Here we go with another
(07:53):
case of politicians now trying to say I didn't say that,
I didn't do that. This isn't what was going on,
and it's it's absurd that they don't remember that this
was recorded, right. It's like if and I'm not talking
about somebody like Biden. Biden forgets things. I get that.
(08:14):
I genuinely believe that when Joe Biden says that he
didn't do something, or he didn't you know, he just
didn't know, he either doesn't remember it or it's because
someone else was doing it for him. And this autopen thing,
we're starting to get really into the weeds now with
the autopen because obviously now we've had this House committee
(08:35):
say is any of this stuff legal? Is this self valid?
And I really don't know how it could be, and
we've talked about that at great length. How is it
possible that you could have a president of the United
States there was probably the victim of elder abuse, someone
that folks working for him, many on the left saw
(08:57):
as an opportunity to go, we had a guy here
who doesn't know what's going on. He doesn't know who
he is some days, and he you know, he's got
these I don't know that he didn't know who he was,
but he seemed to not know who he was some days.
He had issues with speaking, he had issues with staying upright,
he had issues with energy. They said he had issues
(09:19):
with sleeping, but they were feed, force feeding him, sleeping pills, ambient.
His son even admitted to that and said they would
just give him an ambient and you know, he didn't
need it, he didn't have problems sleeping, but they were
giving him ambient. So this to me falls under the
category of elder abuse. If you're keeping someone who is
a senior in your life from even you know, just
(09:42):
living their life day to day or doing you know,
if you're doing the job for them so that it
maybe benefits you, how's that not elder abuse. I've compared
this to you know, there have been people like and
stan Lee is one that was a case where there
were questions about whoever was in charge of him and
his estate and taking him around and he was signing
autographs and there were all these stories of him saying,
(10:05):
you know, where are we or what am I doing today?
Do I have to keep doing this? And it feels
like that's what we went through. And then you had
an autopen that could sign things. I don't know how
any official document could be signed with an autopen. I
don't know how that could happen at any level, much
less at the level of President of the United States.
(10:25):
You're signing pardons for people that supposedly haven't done anything wrong,
but they're getting preemptively pardoned with an autopen while he's
sitting in the crowd as the inauguration's taking place of
the next president, and these kinds of things, and you go,
something's not right here. But this isn't about the autopen.
I just wanted to point out the fact that I
(10:47):
think he gets a little bit of a pass on
some of these things, just shady things going on behind
the scenes that maybe he didn't know about. So his
lack of memory about saying, you know, when he was
running in twenty twenty, when he would say inappropriate things
or sniff people's hair or whatever, those kind of things.
But now I think you maybe get a pass, and
(11:08):
at least in the last two years of his presidency.
But you have some people who basically are you know,
diving into this thing where they're going to try to
rewrite history and change things. And then you got not
just politicians doing it, but occasionally you get a member
of the press that does it, someone in the media
(11:29):
that does it. And I'm really confused in how someone
whose job it is to speak looking at a camera
wearing a microphone or you know, with a microphone pointed
at them, and then they forget that they said something. Now,
I'm not talking about trivial things. I'm just talking about
the inability to remember. It may even be something that
(11:52):
they said, like if you're following it and you're going,
I don't remember these things, I don't know that this
really happened. And we have an example of that, and
I don't know if there's a specific example of her
doing it. I can just basically say this Nicole Wallace
on MSNBC or MS whatever it's called. Now it's got
(12:14):
a different name, doesn't it. Basically on her She's got
a podcast, The Best People, Okay, and she had Illinois
Governor JB. Pritz Girl, Well right away, it's false advertising,
isn't it. I don't know. He may be just a
perfectly fine human being. I don't know, but she had
(12:36):
him on and she basically said that she has no
memory of and that no Democrats, she says, I don't
think any Democrat has referring to She says, no Democrat
has referred to Donald Trump as hitler. None, not one,
not one single Democrat has referred to him as hitler.
(13:00):
She says, I don't think any Democrat has and I
actually think that it's a smear that they project back
onto critics. And then she points out, she said, this
is the new thing now is they're back to digging in.
They were doing this during the during the presidential campaign.
Now we're back to attacking JD. Vance and using him
(13:21):
to attack Trump. And Vance who has addressed the conversation
or the text messages that he had with a friend
where he called Donald Trump cultural heroin and America's hitler
and things like that. So she says, but JD. Vance
called Donald Trump cultural heroin, he called him America's hitler.
I mean, the attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist
(13:42):
came from three generals who worked for him. So she's
denying that any Democrat has done this. She's got to
know that all the times that it's happened, it's been recorded.
And I'm sorry, but you know she's interviewing at the
time JB. Pritzker, who constantly refers to ISIS as some
(14:04):
form of the Gestapo or the secret police and all
these sorts of things. So this notion, this idea that
she doesn't have any memory or knowledge of anyone comparing
Trump to Hitler is absurd. Here's some examples. Hillary Clinton
(14:27):
at the time secretary or was secretary of a state
when she was running for president. Or no, no, no,
this isn't when she was running. This is actually as
recently as two years ago. On the view Hitler was
dually elected, all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies,
dictatorial authoritarian tendencies, would be like, Okay, we're gonna shut
(14:49):
this down. We're going to throw all these people in jail.
And they didn't usually telegraph that Trump is telling us
what he intends to do. Jasmine Crockett, representative from Texas,
called Trump a timu Hitler. Yeah, and basically a low
imitation want to be Hitler. Representative James Clyburn from South
(15:13):
Carolina has used the Hitler analogy many many times. And
that's just a few. There's a lot. There's a lot
of them. But she has no memory of it. She
doesn't remember any of that. She says, not just that
she doesn't have memory of it, but that she says
that it's, you know, not happened. And this is something
(15:34):
that Republicans are doing to toss it back at them. Well,
we're in uncertain times, and it always feels like even
more uncertain times are just a heartbeat away, and your
time to prepare for those uncertain times is now. It
was actually yesterday, but chances are you didn't prep yesterday.

by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your
garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
(19:03):
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
care of square and that away for you, and while
they're there you can always ask them questions about some
of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
your garage door maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
(19:26):
you want it to be, and you need some repair
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
(19:47):
add a screen door to your garage door system that
you can put down and you can use your garage
space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
if you like to work on your own cars in there,
or maybe you just I want a little man cavid.
You'd like to be able to open the door up
and not invite all the insects in. They can do
that for you as well, and again they do after
(20:08):
hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
won't open and you need somebody to come help, And
they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five
eight forty five hundred seven oh six three five eight
forty five hundred o dccolumbus dot com more West Carol
Morning Show. Right after the break, well, we're now just
(20:39):
a couple of days away from Halloween. Then November first
officially means we're into that Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I know,
people freak out. We don's been enough time talking about Thanksgiving.
I mean, it's a meal holiday and it does deserve
its time. But the point is Thanksgiving and Christmas are
(20:59):
kind of bookends of like a month that is kind
of that whole holiday season. So if you didn't think
we were coming up on it fast, well, now the
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been chosen. They've announced that
this year's tree will come from the Bush family in
East Green Bush, New York, a seventy five year old
(21:20):
Norway spruce standing seventy five feet tall. It will be
seventy five and sing. It'll be cut down on November
sixth and make the trip south to New York City
on November eighth. You almost think it's got this moment
of Hey, you're gonna be the big tree this year. Really,
that's fantastic. Yeah, we're gonna cut you down on November
six Wait what once it arrives in New York. It'll
(21:42):
be put in place and then adorned with over fifty
thousand multicolored led lights and topped with a nine hundred
pounds star covered by three million crystals. The tree well
has the up and coming mayor. Feel about this three
million crystal store that's coming in. I mean, you can't
like it. They could sell this thing off and let
(22:05):
people ride the trains and buses for free. The tree
will arrive in New York City November ninth, and then
it will be lit up in the annual televised tree
lighting ceremony December third. After the holiday season, it'll be
turned into lumber for habitat for humanity. Is your job
aging you? A recent study looked at twenty different professions
(22:28):
and ranked them based on how much they accelerate biological aging.
And they consider things like stress level, exposure to hazards,
physical demands, how long people work each week. I don't
think it's going to be a big shock at what's
number one on the list. And yesterday was a first
responder's day, so a nod to the firefighters that topp
(22:53):
this list. Constant exposure to danger, toxic chemicals, long stressful
hours make it the most aging job despite the risk.
The pay isn't exactly high, which adds financial stress into
the mix. Truck drivers, long hours on the road, little
physical movement, mental exhaustion takes a toll, and not especially
(23:15):
high pay, necessarily tough working conditions all go into that. Chefs,
all the TV shows and cooking channels make the chef
life look great, but there's a lot of pressure, a
lot of time on your feet, burn injuries and things,
a lot of emotional drainage and physical drainage with that.
Lawyers on the plus side of the income is there,
(23:38):
but not a lot of breaks when it comes to
the mental stress side of all of that. Lots of
pressure with those jobs, and then journalists, deadlines, unpredictable schedules,
mental strain. I think it's easier on the journalists though,
if they don't actually have to fact check things and
(23:59):
they're allowed to make things up based on what their
political views are, I would think that would make it
a little easier. Right might depend on where you live
as to whether or not you could survive a zombie apocalypse.
A new study ranked all fifty states on their zombie
apocalypse readiness based on things like population density, percentage, of
(24:20):
water area, number of hospitals, airports, hunting and fishing stores,
military bases. And it looks like the state least likely
to survive the zombie apocalypse would be the folks in
New Jersey, and I guess it has to do with
dense population. Connecticut's second worst, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, and New York.
(24:47):
On the other end of the list, Alaska safest place
if a zombie outbreak takes place, low population density, strong
military presence, abundance of fresh water main next on the list,
followed by South Dakota, Montana, and North Dakota all on
this list. So yeah, interesting. I don't think it's any
(25:09):
big surprises in it, especially when you consider that population
density was a big factor in all of that. I
do wonder states like you know, Georgia where they filmed
The Walking Dead. You'd think we'd have some of those
people still here that are more than ready to step
in and fight off the zombies. That's what I'm thinking.
(25:32):
All Right, we're down to crunch time with those Halloween costumes,
and the question is are you dressing your pet up?
This year survey found sixty five percent of pet parents
planning to dress up their dog or cat for Halloween.
Dogs slightly more likely to get a costume than cats,
and apparently there's a lot of the pet owners planning
(25:53):
to wear complimentary costumes to go with their pets. According
to Google Frightgeist trends for twenty twenty five top costumes
four pets, the l Boo Boo Derpy, the tiger that's
from K Pop Demon Hunters. If you're like me and
you had to look it up, I'm saving you having
to look it up. Chicken, I hop, I don't know.
(26:17):
I hop I guess an I hop waitress Crypto. I
would think Crypto would be higher than five. Another Demon
Slayer character, Nazuku Comato, a pickleball champ, Superman thing from
the Adams Family not from Fantastic four, pet Spider Glinda
(26:39):
from Wicked, an ambulance, the Lorax, Elvis, and a flying monkey.
So there you go. That'll do it for this Wednesday
edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.

Wednesday morning, twenty ninth day of October. I'm Wes, thanks
for joining me. Two more days till how Halloween, Hell Louis.
Season of the Witch Halloween three Season of the Witch
an absolutely underrated movie, cult classic. I know it found
its following later. I will admit the first time I
(00:33):
watched it, I'm like, what is this? Where's Michael Myers?
That's what everybody did. Where's Michael Myers? You know, he's
in the movie for what like eight seconds? Not even that.
I think it's like three seconds. He's just on the
TV for a second. Someone's watching it. That's it supposed
to be an anthology. They didn't want every movie to
be about Michael Myers. They wanted it to be each
movie to be something different. And when they did Halloween two,
(00:57):
everybody thought, well, then all these movies are going to
be about Michael Myers. And then that's not what it
was going to be. No, it was different. It was
about these people making these masks and they masked. Sorry,
I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to
ruin it for you. It's a great it's a classic
Halloween three underrated maybe if you're just tired of watching
(01:19):
the slasher movies and you go, you know what this
year for the holiday Halloween holiday season, that's a mouthful.
It's the first day with this mouth. By the way,
thanks for your patients with me. I know I have
there have been things where I have sounded a bit
different at times post surgery. We're moving on through this
recovery process and I'll be back on stilts for the
(01:42):
Nutcracker coming up in December. Get those tickets now, but
only from River Center Box Office, Rivercenter dot org or
the Columbus Ballet dot org, so you don't get ripped off.
But thank you for being patient with that, because I,
you know this, this I had to learn, not learn.
It's not like I lost my voice completely. I just
(02:03):
had to, you know, build my stamina back up with
my voice. And there's still been a few things. There's
things that I still hear. Maybe you don't hear. I
don't know, but anyway, thanks for your patience with that.
I appreciate all of you. Listenership did not drop off.
In fact, it's picked up since Charlie Kirk. I had
someone ask the other day how things were going, and
(02:24):
I said, sadly it's up, because I feel like it's
been up since Charlie Kirk. And we got some new
people listening really around the world. That's, you know, a
couple of countries I'd never seen anybody listening in before,
and I've heard from some people in other countries. It's
nice to hear from you. I appreciate you jumping in
and you know, taking a listen to what this Yank,
(02:47):
what this American has to say about things. But anyway,
I appreciate all of you being patient with me. This
is you know, been part of this continual process, and
I'm getting close, I guess to the end with all
of it. Once your doctor says you're okay to get
back on stilts, that's and I guess today, maybe yesterday
was the day that I was officially have permission to
(03:09):
get back on stilts, but I haven't needed to just yet.
Rehearsals didn't involve stilts yet, So once we get into
rehearsals with stilts, I'll be back up there. But anyway,
but back to the movie, just me saying that maybe
you get to this point in the holiday season, is
Halloween portion of it at least that you are you know,
(03:32):
maybe you're like, I don't want to do another Scream movie.
I don't want to watch you know, Jason again, or
you know whatever, Freddy, and there's all these options. There's
plenty of options. I'm just saying, maybe you should take
a minute and revisit Halloween three. Yes, it had its
shortcomings and that it wasn't a movie about Michael Myers,
(03:55):
but I think it's underrated and I think let me
just let me offer I was too much time. I
want Halloween three. I promise that was not the intention today.
But I just want to tell you this. If you
watch Halloween three, all right, if this is what you
do tonight or you know, maybe even Halloween evening, Yeah,
trigger treating's done, kids are eating their candy until they
(04:17):
throw up. It's Friday night maybe, and you're not going
out clubbing, you know, you're not going to a Halloween
party whatever on Friday and it's the evening time, and
you just think, man, I'm gonna watch a movie, and
what movie am I going to watch? I just want
I dare you to watch Halloween three and well, I
(04:38):
dare you to watch it, but I dare you to
watch it and try not to pick up on some
of the subtle things that you will also find in
the series, especially season one of Stranger Things. There's some parallels,
there's some things in there, and it's one of those things.
I think when I was watching Stranger Things, you know,
(05:00):
when that when it first premiered, that first season of it.
Uh And I've got a friend who worked on the show,
and uh so, at first for me, it was like,
oh wow, this is a show that he's on. And
then the show was so good and I thought, oh
my gosh, you're like, this is a great like it
was a hit. It was this mega thing, and I'm thought, well,
that's pretty cool that you were involved. But he's been
(05:20):
in things like Walking Dead, which also had that kind
of thing, so that kind of hype and and and fervor.
But I thought, well, I want to I want to
check out, you know, the show, also to support him,
but because you know, you know, hey, I'm looking for
our friend the show. Anyway, I think, oh my gosh,
there's so many things here that are little nods I
(05:42):
feel like too, and Stranger Things not only there's a
lot of Goony's comparisons, but I think the Goony stuff
is there, but also the Halloween three things. So I
think you just check it out. That's my recommendation for
you this year. I want to talk a little bit
about this. This all the Nazi talk, right, and I
(06:02):
think we've all heard it, and I think that there's
people on the left when a politician on the left
seems to forget that things that they've said. Gavin Newsom
is someone who lately has really been caught trying to
deny saying things that he clearly said, things that he
(06:25):
said that were recorded. He denies it, and then they
go back and they play the recordings of him doing it,
and it's like, well, you're just a liar. I'd like
to give people the benefit of the doubt and say, well,
maybe they're just forgetful. But I think this is the
idea of trying to rewrite history. You know, we just
talked about this recently, this whole notion of this big
(06:48):
flip that everybody go, oh that we you know, the
Democrats were pro slavery and pro kkk, like they started
it and that was all the big viit and then
they said no, no, no, and then one day the Democrats
became Republicans and the Republicans became the Democrats, and it
was like one guy, guy when you changed parties. Apparently
(07:11):
everybody changes parties when that happens. I don't know, but
this idea that you can just go back and rewrite
history and you can just say, well, and I understand, Look,
the South very complicated story when it comes to telling
the story. Okay, but this this thing that has been
portrayed as just there was just a flip, that's all.
(07:33):
It was. Everybody just one day that voted Democrats suddenly
was voting Republican. And then all of a sudden, one
day everybody's voting a Republican voting Democrat, and they just
they everybody just shook hands and said we're trading teams.
They traded jerseys and they moved on. And it's a
ridiculous idea. But I digress. Here we go with another
(07:53):
case of politicians now trying to say I didn't say that,
I didn't do that. This isn't what was going on,
and it's it's absurd that they don't remember that this
was recorded, right. It's like if and I'm not talking
about somebody like Biden. Biden forgets things. I get that.
(08:14):
I genuinely believe that when Joe Biden says that he
didn't do something, or he didn't you know, he just
didn't know, he either doesn't remember it or it's because
someone else was doing it for him. And this autopen thing,
we're starting to get really into the weeds now with
the autopen because obviously now we've had this House committee
(08:35):
say is any of this stuff legal? Is this self valid?
And I really don't know how it could be, and
we've talked about that at great length. How is it
possible that you could have a president of the United
States there was probably the victim of elder abuse, someone
that folks working for him, many on the left saw
(08:57):
as an opportunity to go, we had a guy here
who doesn't know what's going on. He doesn't know who
he is some days, and he you know, he's got
these I don't know that he didn't know who he was,
but he seemed to not know who he was some days.
He had issues with speaking, he had issues with staying upright,
he had issues with energy. They said he had issues
(09:19):
with sleeping, but they were feed, force feeding him, sleeping pills, ambient.
His son even admitted to that and said they would
just give him an ambient and you know, he didn't
need it, he didn't have problems sleeping, but they were
giving him ambient. So this to me falls under the
category of elder abuse. If you're keeping someone who is
a senior in your life from even you know, just
(09:42):
living their life day to day or doing you know,
if you're doing the job for them so that it
maybe benefits you, how's that not elder abuse. I've compared
this to you know, there have been people like and
stan Lee is one that was a case where there
were questions about whoever was in charge of him and
his estate and taking him around and he was signing
autographs and there were all these stories of him saying,
(10:05):
you know, where are we or what am I doing today?
Do I have to keep doing this? And it feels
like that's what we went through. And then you had
an autopen that could sign things. I don't know how
any official document could be signed with an autopen. I
don't know how that could happen at any level, much
less at the level of President of the United States.
(10:25):
You're signing pardons for people that supposedly haven't done anything wrong,
but they're getting preemptively pardoned with an autopen while he's
sitting in the crowd as the inauguration's taking place of
the next president, and these kinds of things, and you go,
something's not right here. But this isn't about the autopen.
I just wanted to point out the fact that I
(10:47):
think he gets a little bit of a pass on
some of these things, just shady things going on behind
the scenes that maybe he didn't know about. So his
lack of memory about saying, you know, when he was
running in twenty twenty, when he would say inappropriate things
or sniff people's hair or whatever, those kind of things.
But now I think you maybe get a pass, and
(11:08):
at least in the last two years of his presidency.
But you have some people who basically are you know,
diving into this thing where they're going to try to
rewrite history and change things. And then you got not
just politicians doing it, but occasionally you get a member
of the press that does it, someone in the media
(11:29):
that does it. And I'm really confused in how someone
whose job it is to speak looking at a camera
wearing a microphone or you know, with a microphone pointed
at them, and then they forget that they said something. Now,
I'm not talking about trivial things. I'm just talking about
the inability to remember. It may even be something that
(11:52):
they said, like if you're following it and you're going,
I don't remember these things, I don't know that this
really happened. And we have an example of that, and
I don't know if there's a specific example of her
doing it. I can just basically say this Nicole Wallace
on MSNBC or MS whatever it's called. Now it's got
(12:14):
a different name, doesn't it. Basically on her She's got
a podcast, The Best People, Okay, and she had Illinois
Governor JB. Pritz Girl, Well right away, it's false advertising,
isn't it. I don't know. He may be just a
perfectly fine human being. I don't know, but she had
(12:36):
him on and she basically said that she has no
memory of and that no Democrats, she says, I don't
think any Democrat has referring to She says, no Democrat
has referred to Donald Trump as hitler. None, not one,
not one single Democrat has referred to him as hitler.
(13:00):
She says, I don't think any Democrat has and I
actually think that it's a smear that they project back
onto critics. And then she points out, she said, this
is the new thing now is they're back to digging in.
They were doing this during the during the presidential campaign.
Now we're back to attacking JD. Vance and using him
(13:21):
to attack Trump. And Vance who has addressed the conversation
or the text messages that he had with a friend
where he called Donald Trump cultural heroin and America's hitler
and things like that. So she says, but JD. Vance
called Donald Trump cultural heroin, he called him America's hitler.
I mean, the attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist
(13:42):
came from three generals who worked for him. So she's
denying that any Democrat has done this. She's got to
know that all the times that it's happened, it's been recorded.
And I'm sorry, but you know she's interviewing at the
time JB. Pritzker, who constantly refers to ISIS as some
(14:04):
form of the Gestapo or the secret police and all
these sorts of things. So this notion, this idea that
she doesn't have any memory or knowledge of anyone comparing
Trump to Hitler is absurd. Here's some examples. Hillary Clinton
(14:27):
at the time secretary or was secretary of a state
when she was running for president. Or no, no, no,
this isn't when she was running. This is actually as
recently as two years ago. On the view Hitler was
dually elected, all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies,
dictatorial authoritarian tendencies, would be like, Okay, we're gonna shut
(14:49):
this down. We're going to throw all these people in jail.
And they didn't usually telegraph that Trump is telling us
what he intends to do. Jasmine Crockett, representative from Texas,
called Trump a timu Hitler. Yeah, and basically a low
imitation want to be Hitler. Representative James Clyburn from South
(15:13):
Carolina has used the Hitler analogy many many times. And
that's just a few. There's a lot. There's a lot
of them. But she has no memory of it. She
doesn't remember any of that. She says, not just that
she doesn't have memory of it, but that she says
that it's, you know, not happened. And this is something
(15:34):
that Republicans are doing to toss it back at them. Well,
we're in uncertain times, and it always feels like even
more uncertain times are just a heartbeat away, and your
time to prepare for those uncertain times is now. It
was actually yesterday, but chances are you didn't prep yesterday.
(15:59):

garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
(19:03):
maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get
maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
care of square and that away for you, and while
they're there you can always ask them questions about some
of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to
your garage door maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
(19:26):
you want it to be, and you need some repair
work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
sort of installation issue that you've got. With colder or
warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
(19:47):
add a screen door to your garage door system that
you can put down and you can use your garage
space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
if you like to work on your own cars in there,
or maybe you just I want a little man cavid.
You'd like to be able to open the door up
and not invite all the insects in. They can do
that for you as well, and again they do after
(20:08):
hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door
won't open and you need somebody to come help, And
they do those as well. Seven oh six thy five

Morning Show. Right after the break, well, we're now just
(20:39):
a couple of days away from Halloween. Then November first
officially means we're into that Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I know,
people freak out. We don's been enough time talking about Thanksgiving.
I mean, it's a meal holiday and it does deserve
its time. But the point is Thanksgiving and Christmas are
(20:59):
kind of bookends of like a month that is kind
of that whole holiday season. So if you didn't think
we were coming up on it fast, well, now the
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been chosen. They've announced that
this year's tree will come from the Bush family in
East Green Bush, New York, a seventy five year old
(21:20):
Norway spruce standing seventy five feet tall. It will be
seventy five and sing. It'll be cut down on November
sixth and make the trip south to New York City
on November eighth. You almost think it's got this moment
of Hey, you're gonna be the big tree this year. Really,
that's fantastic. Yeah, we're gonna cut you down on November
six Wait what once it arrives in New York. It'll
(21:42):
be put in place and then adorned with over fifty
thousand multicolored led lights and topped with a nine hundred
pounds star covered by three million crystals. The tree well
has the up and coming mayor. Feel about this three
million crystal store that's coming in. I mean, you can't
like it. They could sell this thing off and let
(22:05):
people ride the trains and buses for free. The tree
will arrive in New York City November ninth, and then
it will be lit up in the annual televised tree
lighting ceremony December third. After the holiday season, it'll be
turned into lumber for habitat for humanity. Is your job
aging you? A recent study looked at twenty different professions
(22:28):
and ranked them based on how much they accelerate biological aging.
And they consider things like stress level, exposure to hazards,
physical demands, how long people work each week. I don't
think it's going to be a big shock at what's
number one on the list. And yesterday was a first
responder's day, so a nod to the firefighters that topp
(22:53):
this list. Constant exposure to danger, toxic chemicals, long stressful
hours make it the most aging job despite the risk.
The pay isn't exactly high, which adds financial stress into
the mix. Truck drivers, long hours on the road, little
physical movement, mental exhaustion takes a toll, and not especially
(23:15):
high pay, necessarily tough working conditions all go into that. Chefs,
all the TV shows and cooking channels make the chef
life look great, but there's a lot of pressure, a
lot of time on your feet, burn injuries and things,
a lot of emotional drainage and physical drainage with that.
Lawyers on the plus side of the income is there,
(23:38):
but not a lot of breaks when it comes to
the mental stress side of all of that. Lots of
pressure with those jobs, and then journalists, deadlines, unpredictable schedules,
mental strain. I think it's easier on the journalists though,
if they don't actually have to fact check things and
(23:59):
they're allowed to make things up based on what their
political views are, I would think that would make it
a little easier. Right might depend on where you live
as to whether or not you could survive a zombie apocalypse.
A new study ranked all fifty states on their zombie
apocalypse readiness based on things like population density, percentage, of
(24:20):
water area, number of hospitals, airports, hunting and fishing stores,
military bases. And it looks like the state least likely
to survive the zombie apocalypse would be the folks in
New Jersey, and I guess it has to do with
dense population. Connecticut's second worst, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, and New York.
(24:47):
On the other end of the list, Alaska safest place
if a zombie outbreak takes place, low population density, strong
military presence, abundance of fresh water main next on the list,
followed by South Dakota, Montana, and North Dakota all on
this list. So yeah, interesting. I don't think it's any
(25:09):
big surprises in it, especially when you consider that population
density was a big factor in all of that. I
do wonder states like you know, Georgia where they filmed
The Walking Dead. You'd think we'd have some of those
people still here that are more than ready to step
in and fight off the zombies. That's what I'm thinking.
(25:32):
All Right, we're down to crunch time with those Halloween costumes,
and the question is are you dressing your pet up?
This year survey found sixty five percent of pet parents
planning to dress up their dog or cat for Halloween.
Dogs slightly more likely to get a costume than cats,
and apparently there's a lot of the pet owners planning
(25:53):
to wear complimentary costumes to go with their pets. According
to Google Frightgeist trends for twenty twenty five top costumes
four pets, the l Boo Boo Derpy, the tiger that's
from K Pop Demon Hunters. If you're like me and
you had to look it up, I'm saving you having
to look it up. Chicken, I hop, I don't know.
(26:17):
I hop I guess an I hop waitress Crypto. I
would think Crypto would be higher than five. Another Demon
Slayer character, Nazuku Comato, a pickleball champ, Superman thing from
the Adams Family not from Fantastic four, pet Spider Glinda
(26:39):
from Wicked, an ambulance, the Lorax, Elvis, and a flying monkey.
So there you go. That'll do it for this Wednesday
edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and patrons.
Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
