  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: And good morning to you, Christopher Thompson. Glad to have
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: you along as well this morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: And we're I'm looking at the front page of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: state newspaper and headline over a third of I think,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they meant to say, well, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: guess it does say over a third of the South's
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus may be planning to move. Where does South
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Carolina stand? And the story goes on to say thirty
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: two percent of LGBTQ individuals say they plan on leaving
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the South to find more LGBTQ plus friendly state. South
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Carolina has continued to outpace the country when it comes
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to population growth, but we are apparently losing the LGBTQ
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: plus community. And they start quoting personally, who is this
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: person here? Some elected leaders, not all of whom are
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: very outspoken about creating a version of this state that
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: does not welcome people like me and my family and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: my children. Somebody named Peel, oh Ashley Peel, executive director
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of something called the APHA Action Group, which is an
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: LGBTQ policy advocacy organization, She goes on to say that
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: sort of hostility is hard to balance with how much
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: pride I have for being born and raised in North
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Charleston and being from the state of South Carolina. I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: genuinely shocked to hear that they feel as if there's
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: some sort of legislative move to make their lives more difficult.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I'm unaware of any laws that we've passed to make
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: life difficult for gay or lesbian or trans people.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Are you aware of any Well, I think they're pointing
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: to the bathroom bill, that they're pointing to conversion therapy
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: being can sold, and I think, I mean, I read
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the article. I skimmed the article. I should say, I
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: was really all that interested, to tell you the truth.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, I mean, there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Are plenty of people who will full welcome here if
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: they don't, But I don't think we've made a huge
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: move as a state to make anyone feel unwelcome.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when I think of South Carolina, it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: is one of well, to me, it was the most
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: welcoming state. Like I said the other day, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I was I was one of those people trying to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: escape the North, where I did not feel welcome because
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they wanted all of my money. But on top of it,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: there was just a whole bunch of people who didn't
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: think like me at all and were very outspoken against
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: people who might even just be Centrists. In New York,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: if you were a Centrist, you were an odd ball
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and made to feel that way. Now. I mean, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: know gay lesbian people who go to my church. Our
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: pastor doesn't say that what they're doing is correct, but
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: he points out that we're all sinners and that we
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: all fall short, and that's why we all need Jesus.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I know we. I mean, you and I have had
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: multiple coworkers in this office that are gays. Sure, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: don't know of any culture that's being created to make
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: them feel like they shouldn't be in our state. It's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we're now at a point where
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: America can divide itself on anything. I mean, I can't
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: imagine when they were drawing this up two hundred and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: fifty years ago that there was going to be a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: point where they were like, oh, and then there's going
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to be states that are very pro homosexual, and they're
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: going to try to lure people into their states. So
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: this is the Great American Experiment has now hit another
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: level where we're now marketing ourselves as a state that's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: very pro gay or a state that's very pro tax friendly.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I mean some of the more traditional things like pro
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: tax friendly or more you know, uh, welcoming for firearms
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: or those types of things that would have I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: always been part of the Great American Experiment. But this, this,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: this is a new angle. This this idea that you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: they're pointing out that they want to move to Portland, Oregon,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they want to move to Seattle, Washington. They want to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: move they want to move to Chicago. My gosh, I can't.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Who feels safe there?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: This is what I'm saying. I mean, there's nobody safe
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: in Chicago.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I think there's a difference though.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about the bathroom bill, for example,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: that the trans community sees that as anti trans, when
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I think most of us see that as pro protecting
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: our children.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and and yeah. And by the way, just
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: inside the LGBTQ plus community, there is a little civil
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: war happening in there about the trans and the trade.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: What I would I guess reference as traditional gay people
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: who don't think that the Frans community is part of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the lgbt Q. Well, I guess by definition l lesbian, gay,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: bisexual tran they they got the T. I still have
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: not figured out what queer means. I don't I don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: know what the differences between queer and gay, and and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the plus is that when is that? Like the the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: lady from Canada who went viral a couple of months ago.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: When she started, she threw in like the spirit people
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: or something like that. Lgbt Q s ssp Q two
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: our group, I mean, and to her it just rolled
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: off the tonguecause they've been using that in Canada for
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: like a decade now. So I guess we'll just keep
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: broadening the definition. But again, if you, if you, if
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you're a gay lesbian person who happens to be waking
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: up and listening to our radio station, I like the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: fact that you're in our state. I'm not anti you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not anti any of this stuff. I just know
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: it's not for me. And I don't think, as you
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: were saying, we don't want it preached to the chill
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: children in schools. You don't want when you start talking
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: about like the books that got banned quote unquote banned.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And that's a funny word to use because they're still
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: available at every bookstore. You're still available on Amazon. It's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: not a book band, it's just not in a school library.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But those are very sexually oriented books that are trying
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to promote what we'll call an alternative lifestyle. But even
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the ones that are very sexual books geared towards just
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: children in general. We don't want that in the school libraries.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So are we anti heterosexual as well? I I, oh
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: my gosh, it's I don't know. I hate to see
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Americans try to come up with new ways to divide themselves.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I would love to see us start trying to figure
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: out more ways to unite ourselves. And that's I have
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: loved the World Cup. Christopher. Did we have a game
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: last night?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: We did?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess we'll get that in the sports update.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear about that and more. In
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: any of your thoughts on what's going on today, whether
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about the division of South Carolina
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: by elder GBTQ plus IA people who don't feel welcome here,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: or you want to talk about maybe what's going on
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: at the State House. I got some breaking news late
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: yesterday from Bill Shanahan, your old pal, and so some
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: maybe big news in Lexington County. Lots of stuff happening.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: This is South Carolina's morning news.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is South
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Carolina's morning News on one O three point five FM,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WVOC, and ninety four to three wsc
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: now Kelly Nash.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Last night, I went to a birthday party.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: If you check my social media pages, I was told
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that the outfits were supposed to be garden chic. I've
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: never heard of that term.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Christopher garden chic would have no idea what to wear.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So if you look on my Facebook or Instagram account,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I or my ex account, I posted the photo. Did
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I pull off garden sheek last night? I tried? I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm getting mixed reviews this morning, but I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: don't know that you all know what garden sheek means either,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: so perhaps your opinion is wrong. But anyway, but I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was not home last night to watch, as I'm sure
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: all of you do, the CNN Abby Hoffman Show with
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings. Let's say I'm going to try to play
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: a little clip of it here. Let me see if
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I can play this. Don't you all want to know? So?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And by the way, what they're arguing over is Scott
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Jennings is talking about the fact that tomorrow night, Donald
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Trump says he's going to present to the nation proof
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that foreign governments are interfering with government elections, and he
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: again asks the question, almost incredulously, don't you all want
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to know? You all want to know?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: The answer to that question, honestly is no, don't perfect.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: The journalist says, if the President of the United States
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: has information from the Sea and the FBI and other
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: intelligence agencies that we do have governments, foreign governments interfering
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: with our elections, we don't want to know about it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: That is the official CNN position, I guess today. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: when you talk about their reporting moving forward, understand that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: they are coming from a bias of we don't want
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to hear this, we don't want to know about it,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: which is an unbelievable position I would think for a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: journalist to take. Have you ever heard of a journalist saying, yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to see the facts.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially when
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: we're head and shoulders going towards the midterms.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to hear about it, though that's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a problem if you presented proof that there was government's temper.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And by the way, isn't it The Democrats position has
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: always been for at least five ten years now, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: number one issue to protect is democracy, right, and we
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: have talked about how when you allow foreign illegal aliens
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to vote in your election, you're actually destroying democracy because
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the democracy for the federal elections. I understand state elections
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: can be different, but at the federal level, the only
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: votes that are allowed to count are that of a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: US citizen. And what you're doing in California and these
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: other states where you're allowing illegal aliens to vote in
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: local elections. We then also have to trust that they
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: understand that they're not supposed to vote for the senator.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: They're not supposed to vote for or the president. They're
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: not supposed to vote for the House members. They're just
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: on the honor system. Everybody knows that's a lie. So
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: when they vote in that election, you've neutralized the vote
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of somebody else who is an American citizen. So you've
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: already started an attack on democracy. And then You've add
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in this idea that there's foreign governments tampering with the elections,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and we haven't even heard the proof yet. That's coming
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night, nine o'clock. Donald Trump's got a national press
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: conference before he even presents his proof. You, as a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: news outlet, have said, we don't care, we don't want
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to hear it. We like the way things are going swimmingly.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Of course they do.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: They have a lot of wins to chalk up to
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: what has happened so far. They don't want to hear it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It's amazing they're not even hiding the ball. I was
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: just thinking about that as Karen Bass yesterday was trying
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to talk over the mob who is outraged over the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: latest fire that they had I think like two weeks
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: ago in La and this was a massive meat processing
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: plant where they haven't even begun the cleanup really, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: according to the KABC, there's eighty five million pounds of
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: rotting meat now and you can only imagine how many
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: flies are out there. And they're reporting on that, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Karen Bass is telling the people who live in that community,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: this has been debunked. There's not these flies, this is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: not happening. So what are you gonna do. You're gonna
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: replace Karen Bass with who na he a Sulman or
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: whatever her name is, the Democrat socialist? Do you want
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to go further left? They've rigged that election. I have
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it that Spencer Pratt was going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: be the other alternative, but you've removed him from the opportunity. Look,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: it's I've always said, if there's somebody joking about something repeatedly,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: there's usually some sort of little bit of truth in it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I was a boy in the seventies, and I remember
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the jokes of Chicago says, vote early and often right
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: when I die, don't let me continue to vote Democrat
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: or whatever. Remember remember my dying words. If I die
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in Chicago, I did not register as a Democrat. That
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: those jokes have been around for fifty plus years. There's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: always a hint of truth in the fact that Democrats,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: they don't claim Republicans rig elections. That's not been the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: jokes for fifty years. It has been that about Democrats.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: There's always been this suspicion, and there's usually a hint
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of truth in the suspicion. The fact that Donald Trump,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the president, says we have intelligence now that shows that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: foreign nationals are interfering in our elections, and you don't
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: even want to hear it. Is one of the most
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: stunning revelations I can ever imagine a journalist saying, imagine
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes back in the day, Mike Wallace or one
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of those guys, and here comes the proof. I don't
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: want to hear. Shut that down. Let's talk about something else.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Why are Republicans continuing to beat their wives?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Talk about a threat to democracy?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's and the question is now, is Trump
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: going to focus only on Georgia or is there going
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: to be some type of and is he going to
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: go back to twenty twenty and is he going to
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: rehash those old arguments, or you know, are we going
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: to focus on the future. I think most Americans are
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: no longer concerned with twenty twenty, but they would be
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: very concerned about what is happening in the current elections.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: My hope would be he's going to move forward with it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: My belief is he's probably going to revert back to
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty. He'll even go back to twenty sixteen, probably
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: look strategically bad move. If that's what happens tomorrow night.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Because Georgia is in legitimate play right now. John ass
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Off is starting to lose in polls. You can swing
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that Senate seat. You're going to probably win big. At
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the governor's level. You got a billionaire who's willing to
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: spend whatever it takes to make sure that he wins
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the governorship. You're going to be right now, Kemp and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Trump are kind of in line. Don't ruin this. That
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: would be my strategic hope. But we'll see tomorrow. But
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I do. I'm at least interested in hearing what the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: president has to say. And I would say that about
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: any president. If they say they got proof of some
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: sort of election fraud, we should hear about it. Maybe
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you feel differently, let us know at the talkback feature
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. It is South care Rolina's Morning News.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Now, Kelly Nash.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, Darlene Graham, Nordon sworn in, and now the fight
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: for who's going to win the Lindsey Graham seat took
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a weird turn yesterday as one of the South Carolina
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: House members posted something online that went viral. And we'll
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: talk about some of that incredible pushback that they're receiving
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: this morning, and what did they say. We got that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: in more as we get into South Carolina's morning news.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: From the Midlands to the low Country.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's morning news on one O three
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: four three WSC. Now here's Kelly Nash.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I guess that was Chuck Grassley signing in Darlen Graham
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: nordone yesterday and it was unfortunately they had some sort
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: of like microphone challenges. You would think, come on, man,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: do how much money to taxpayers pay? We can't get
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a good mic up there for God's sakes. Anyway, that's
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Christopher Thompson. I'm Kelly Nash. I hope you're having a
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: great start to your day. And now the move for
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: who will replace Darlene Graham nordone in January is on
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: yesterday a House member here in South Carolina, Congressman William Timmins,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: who represents the Greenville Spartanburg area District four, he posted
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: quote there has been speculation about whether I will seek
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to replace Senator Lindsey Graham on the ballot this November.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: My focus today is not on politics. It's about mourning
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the loss of my friend and celebrating the life of
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: one of South Carolina's greatest public servants. Unfortunately, the speculation
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: has reached a point where I owe the people of
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: South Carolina a straightforward explanation. Unless the South Carolina General
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Assembly changes state law, any current member of Congress already
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: on the ballot for reelection who is elected to replace
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Senator Graham would leave their House seat vacant on January third,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. I have told Speaker Johnson that I
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: will not do anything that increases the number of votes
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: he must secure to be re elected Speaker in January.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: At a time when every seat matters, protecting our Republican
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: majority is more important than any individual's political future. It's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the only way we can continue delivering President Trump's agenda
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: for the American people. So far, I think everybody's like,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: that's awesome. Yay, golf clap, golf clap. Then comes in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the final lines. I also would like to say this plainly,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I cannot support Ralph Norman or Nancy Mace as Senator
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham's successor. This is not personal, It's about what
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: South Carolina deserves. Senator Graham's seat should simply or should
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: not simply be filled. His legacy should be honored. Now
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that has led to what in the world is he
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: talking about? Senator Graham's seat should not simply be filled?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are interpreting that is, are you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: suggesting that we just leave it open? I think what
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: he's saying is you need to not just get a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: regular person to be the senator. You need to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: somebody who could be a leader, like Lindsey Graham. But
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham didn't go in as a leader.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: It's someone in Lindsey Graham's mold.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But the pushback online from not as much the
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Nancy may supporters, although there are many in here, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the Ralph Norman crew is beyond irate. This post has
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: gone literally national viral. So this is like one of
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the top fifteen posts of the last twenty four hours,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: just because there's so much engagement with basically Ralph Norman
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: supporters who cannot believe that you've come on out and said,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're not you would you're unable to support Ralph Norman.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Why why could you not support Ralph Norman's And he
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: does not clarify why he could not support Ralph Norman,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: just left it there.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Pretty incredible from one of the lower profile members of
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Congress to make that much news yesterday, but he did.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I get I would love to have mister
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Timmins explain his position. Look, I don't mean to diminish
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Nancy Mason anyway, but I think most of us can
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: understand why you would think she might not be the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: perfect fit for the well, the upper chamber, you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: that's where the gravitas is, that's where you know, people
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: with very dignified speech rule the day. But Ralph Norman,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I think, And I'm not endorsing Ralph Norman. I just
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: don't see what the problem would be if he was elected.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if mister Timmins, if you're not endorsing anybody,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: do you have a list of a short list of
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: suggested people or did you actually mean Senator graham seat
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: should not be filled? If that's what you mean, that's crazy. Anyway,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: We'll try to get into maybe We're reaching out to
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the mister Timmins office to get an update on that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: You're getting your day started with South Carolina's Morning.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: News live from the state Capitol.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I remember, I think it was Arizona and
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Texas during the Biden administration tried to secure their borders
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: because all of the illegal immigration that the federal government
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: was allowing to happen. And Christopher, you remember they got
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: sued over that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Oh sure, they lost. In course, states can't do that.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It was the constitutional issue.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So insane. So today we see in Texas the Health
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and Human Service Commission has begun cracking down on birth tourism.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So this is a direct a directive from Greg Abbott.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: It'll be very interesting to see will anybody sue them,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: because this is you know, again, the Supreme Court just
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: upheld this this idea that if you can get into
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: America and be born, then you get all the privileges
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: of being a US citizen. They're now in Texas trying
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to make sure that it can't happen. They've got a
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: bunch of different things that they're doing to implement that
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: is this going to be challenged at the Supreme Court
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: level and found to be unconstitutional that we're blocking women
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: from coming into Texas to give birth.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Well, the good news for them is this time around,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: they've got friends in the federal government who will work
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: with them on programs like this instead of working against them.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: We need this all across the country, don't we. We
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: need the Texas Health and Human Services to start going
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: to Illinois and New York and Massachusetts and all these
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: other places. But this is a this could be a
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: crazy story. I'm happy to see that the Greg Abbott
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and the crew in Texas have taken this action because
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: they're probably the ones most directly impacted by it. I'd
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: like to see South Carolina do it. I wonder how
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: many you know? Do we know of any birth tourism
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: happening here? We'll try to figure that out. Major policy
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: shift at ICE was announced yesterday. Will break that down
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: coming up on South Carolina's Morning News.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: You know the ICE shootings. The pushback has been so
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: monumental that US ICE and Customer for Immigration and Customer
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Enforcement officials announced yesterday they're ending quote most vehicle stops
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: nationwide effective immediately. I hate to hear this, Christopher. I mean,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: they have been doing so well, but you know, you've
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: had a couple of incidents here in the last couple
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: of weeks. You had one in Maine. Was that over
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the weekend? I think, I think so, and then Texas
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: So we're blaming ICE because these illegals use their cars
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: as weapons against ICE agents.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: It would appear, so I think that we didn't have
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: bodycam footage on one of them at least, and they're
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: very upset about that, and it's taking a little bit
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: longer than some had anticipated to roll out the body
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: cams for all agents. Monday, it was when an ICE
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: agent killed a man and I think it's pronounced Bedford
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: or Bidford Maine and Angus King, the Senator from Maine,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: said that he was told by Mark Wayne Mullen that
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: the man killed was not the intended target of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: arrest warrant, but federal agents had been looking at an
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: illegal alien with a final order of removal and that's
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: where they were targeting. It seems as if this other
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: individual kind of put themselves in harm's way and then
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: ended up paying the ultimate cost with their lives. Anytime
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I see things where like there's a police shooting, my
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: default position is it didn't just start with a police shooting.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Something escalated it. Right, It's not just the cops came
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in and just shot somebody sitting on a corner. They
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: were doing something. And this idea that the Democrats keep
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: pushing of know your rights. You don't have to give
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: them your ID. You don't have to do this, you
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: don't have to do that. The best advice I ever
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: got and the best advice you'll ever receive when dealing
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: with law enforcement, be comply as much as possible. When
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I get pulled over for a speeding which unfortunately happens
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: to me a little too regularly, I'm my hands are
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: at ten and two on the wheel. Sure, I want
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: them to know I'm not reaching for nothing until you
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: tell me to. I'm not digging through the glove box
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: early because I'm trying to put myself in their shoes.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: If I'm walking up on a car, I don't know
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: who's in that vehicle, especially at night. Thankfully, most of
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: my stuff happens in the middle of the day. But yes,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the comply understand that you have rights, but those rights
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: will be enforced or however you going to take after
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you've been taken into custody. If you're going into custody,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you're not going to litigate it on a sidewalk. The
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: cop has made up his mind. You need to be arrested.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: You're going to be arrested, whether you're doing it willingly
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: or not. Stop resenting these these democrats who keep pushing
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: this idea on people that you don't have to comply
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: with law enforcement is one of the most dangerous positions
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: any anybody's ever taken.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: And I'm for these agents wearing body cameras. I think
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: it's a great idea because I think it would only
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: prove the point of how how dangerous these people are
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: that ICE agents are dealing with all too often. They're desperate,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: they know they're in this country illegally. They're willing to
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: do anything to escape at that point, and that includes
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: using their cars as weapons, that includes using their kids
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: as shields, etc.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my gosh, when they start doing that, that
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: is yeah, crazy, but yeah, I guess it was. Last
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: week a Mexican citizen who was living in the country
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: illegally was shot and killed in Houston after he tried
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to ram an ICE officer with his vehicle during a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: traffic stop. So what had started as you and I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: were just talking about a routine traffic stop quickly escalated
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: into an attempted murder, and the ICE agent shot the driver,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: who then later died. And of course Democrats tell everybody
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: get out there and protest, that you should be protesting
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the illegals. They're the ones making it dangerous.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and these ICE agents are there to keep the
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: public safe. I mean, it's an illustration of the whole
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrant argument is these people are here illegally and
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: they're so desperate to stay that they will do anything,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: whether that's defraud the American government or that's whether that's
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: in danger the American the average American citizen, or whether
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: that's in danger an ICE agent who's sent there to
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: round them up and possibly deport them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And also with the understanding that there are very high profile,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: high ranking senators, presidential candidates and the such that will
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: back that move as well. Sure, you had to do
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: what you had to do to keep your family safe,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: so you kill a n IE agent. Goodness, gracious, these
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: people are lunatics. But that's what we're dealing with in
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: America this morning. Look, I'm gonna I got to get
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: myself out of this mood. I got to get back
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: out of the happy side, get back on the good foot.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: We'll be working on that and taking your talkbacks as well.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Please use the iHeartRadio Apple edis know what you're thinking
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: about this morning. If this is South Carolina's morning.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: News, your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's morning news on one O three point five FM,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WVOC and ninety four to three WSC.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think I was surprised. I don't think Christopher,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: you'd probably be surprised either that the South Carolina budget
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: did not did not really get very close to being
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: passed yesterday.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: There is a huge rift between the House and Senate
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: conferees at this point.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Senator Tom Davis, Republican Vieufort outlined three paths forward yesterday,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: continue without a budget, cut some House ear marks or
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: their amounts, and allow for the partial property tax cut,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: or just nix all the lawmakers projects and the homestead exemption.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So in the House they're looking for three hundred and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars in ear marks. The senators said one
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty million. And I don't even think that
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that one hundred and thirty million and a three hundred
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and fifteen million. I don't even think they're like, you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: like overlap. I think that they're like completely separate. So
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: it's different projects, different pet projects. Yeah, so it's almost
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: a half billion dollars in quote unquote pet projects. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Bruce Banister, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: said that the budget negotiators should look through the earmarks
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and pick which projects will actually benefit the constituents. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: think we need to look at these projects individually on
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: their merit, Banister said. If they're no good, we'll get
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: rid of them. The problem with that attitude, Bruce, is
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: that we can always find a good cause to spend
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: money on. We don't want the government to keep spending
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: money though. We want the people who live in the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: town to fund whatever it is that the people in
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the town want. We don't want them to just like,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: why am I funding a firehouse in Baufort or whatever
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: that ear mark was for? That should not be coming
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: from the tax people of Charleston and Myrtle Beach and
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: what they shouldn't be paying for a firehouse in Beaufort.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: If the people of Beaufort want another firehouse, they can
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: increase their own taxes and then build themselves a new firehouse.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: If we want in Richland County something whatever, we can
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: increase our own taxes. But this idea that it's the
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: job of the state government to just provide for every
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: want and whim of every local lawmaker so that they
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: can put their name in front of a building is
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: ridiculous and it serves to deter people from moving here.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: We are, what do they say, one of the fastest
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: growing states by popular but we could be doing so
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: much more. We almost do it in spite of the
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: way our government's being run here because we've got everything
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: going for us. The weather, people love, the ocean, people
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: love the mountains, people love You're right between Charlotte and Atlanta,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: two of the fastest growing cities, and Erica. Myrtle Beach
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is on fire with people retiring and moving there. Everything
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is going in our direction, and yet we don't get
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think we have anywhere near enough
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: new businesses and new opportunities for South Carolinians based off
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: of just how business friendly are we and what is
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: our tax structure?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Like well, Bruce Banister, I would hope we would start
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: before these ear marks even make it into a bill
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: to examine it and say all right, does this benefit
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: the taxpayers of South Carolina or not? How do they
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: get into it? And then we say later, well, we
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: should examine all these and make sure they are true
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: benefits to South Carolina taxpayer. That should be your starting point,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: not here at a budget impass to say, okay, yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: we do need to examine these ear marks and make
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: sure we strike the ones that aren't beneficial to taxpayers strong.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Point, and to further it where like you said, we're
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: two weeks past the budget being due. It was supposed
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: to start on July first, and now you want to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: review it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I'm starting to agree with Tom Davis. Maybe no budget's okay.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Maybe just freezing the numbers where they are, because you know,
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: otherwise we're spending more and our legislator legislature loves to
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: do that. If you're Alan Wilson right now and you
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: just had him on yesterday, If you're Alan Wilson, you've
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: got to be probably rubbing your hands and thinking, Okay,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: this is great if they would just freeze everything where
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: it was. He's got a tax plan. He revealed it
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: during the debates, the gubernatorial debates. He's got a tax
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: plan in place. If we get to next session and
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: the House and Senate can't get together and just freeze
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: things where they are, then he can come out with
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: his own tax plan and say, look, guys, we want
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: to save taxpayers money.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Here's the way we do it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: The one negative to that, and I agree exactly what
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: you said. The one negative is in what was had
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: been promised to state employees was there was going to
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: be a pay raise, including teachers, and the teachers also
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: were supposed to get a pay raise. Yeah, there's andy
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that does not happen if we just go with the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: continuing resolution. So something to think about. Maybe you've got
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: thoughts on it. Let us know on the talkback feature
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. You're getting your day started with
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: South Carolina's Morning News.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC Colombia and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: This is Jimmy. I am a local real estate agent
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: here in the Columbia area. Going off what you said
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: this morning about the LGBQT plus wanting to move away
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: from Southern States. Yes, this is true. Had a client
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: they will want to move away. Nice couple, good people
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: in the community, but they said that South Carolina was
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: not for them and they want to move up to
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: North Carolina.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I think to Ashville Asheville.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Ashville's probably very gay friendly. I would assume
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: it is. I haven't been to Ashville in a couple
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of years now. I stopped going. I actually like Dashville
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: when I first moved here. I don't like it as
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: much now. And it's not because of all the gay
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: people that are there. It's more of the drug use
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: that is so rampant there. But yeah, we're used commenting
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: on the one hundred and ninety thousand LGBTQ adults in
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. According to the state newspaper and in a
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: nationwide survey, thirty two percent of LGBTQ individuals living in
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the South say they are planning to relocate in the
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: next year to more LGBTQ friendly places. According to them
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and their survey, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Tennessee are the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: most hostile states with LGBT anti LGBTQ plus policies. I'm
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: not And again, if you're saying that the policy is
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the bathroom policy or the trans policy regarding sports, you
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: should park that that's not part of a first off,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: that's only the T. Just that's just the T the
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: lg I don't think most I don't. I'm not aware
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of any policies designed against gays and lesbians in the state.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong because I'm not one, but I'm not
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: aware of any. I also don't again that this is
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: just me personally. I don't know of anybody who's really
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: hostile towards the gay and lesbian community. I know that
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: when they have the pride parades, if there's certain behavior
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: that is overtly sexual happening in the streets, you might
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: get some pushback on that, but you would also get
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: that if you had a bunch of strippers going down
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: the street. So again, we're maybe it's just that we're
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: more modest. We're a more modest people who like to
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: cover ourselves up for the most part.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: No, I mean it's a more conservative state and Tennessee
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: and Louisiana with you know, Republican leadership there. It's I mean,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: I understand it's it may not be pro LGBTQ, but
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's anti LGBTQ either.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think we're trying to find a
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: nice middle ground. And you know it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: We're a very welcoming state where yeah, I mean we
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: have manners, we're polite.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, And if they've had isolated incidents with certain individuals.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: You know that could happen anywhere that Yes.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: That's the bigger point. The South Carolinians in general are
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: very accommodating and welcoming to everybody. It's a great state.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sad to hear people want to move out of it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I think for the most part, you're probably going to
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: not be as happy moving forward. But maybe maybe you'll
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: prove me wrong. In the meantime, Christopher, when we come back,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: one of the mayors of one of what had been
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: one of the most pro gay cities in America has
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: made a shocking political shift that it might be the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: new roadmap for Democrats trying to save their jobs, save
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: their bacon. We'll talk about that and other things. As
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: we roll on with South Carolina's morning news.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: From the Midlands to the low Country.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's morning news on one O three
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: four to three WSC.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Now here's Kelly nash Oh.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I've been looking for this good news for a while.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: We've been talking about how the Democrats Socialists of America
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: have been attacking Democrats and it has been a bloodbath
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: for the Democrat Party. And most recently, a pretty high
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: profile guy, and Dan Goldman was taken down in New
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: York City. He's one of the people who led the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: impeachment of Donald Trump and that was not left enough
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: for the Democrat Socialists of New York and he was
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: overwhelmingly defeated along with the rest of the Mamdani ticket.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: But here we go, Christopher. Look at San Francisco. You
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: have a mayor who came into office in twenty twenty five, white,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: heterosexual pro Israel. Are you kidding me? A man who
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: again a Democrat, but he's cut taxes. He actually just
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: got a ballot measure defeated that would have raised taxes
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: on any companies that had a CEO making over five
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: million a year. He said, this is insane. There's no
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: way we should be doing that, and he got it defeated.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: He also backed his own ticket and got two of
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: his centrists elected. San Francisco is moving to the center,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and he said, we're going to stop with all the
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: virtue signaling. Of course, gays and lesbians are more than
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: welcome and have made great contributions to our artistic commune
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: unity in our community in general, but we're not going
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: to force out heterosexual people. We're not going to make
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: them uncomfortable about anybody's sexuality. We're not going to raise
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: taxes even further on the wealthiest amongst us. We're going
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: to try to encourage businesses. And right now, not only
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: is he winning, but according to a survey that came
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: out this week, he's at a seventy five percent approval
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: rating in San Francisco.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's incredible for that area. But I mean, it
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: just goes to show once a beautiful city, a city
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: that people loved to visit, once it goes into that
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: big of a decline where it's not safe to live there,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: where you can't walk the streets without stepping in stuff,
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: where you can't walk around without seeing syringes and use
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: drug materials everywhere where. Conventions stop coming to your town
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: because people don't feel safe.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've lost You've got to turn it around.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Otherwise everyone leaves.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: But it seems as if you and I would say
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: that obviously Portland, Oregon continues to go down that path.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, Seattle, Washington elected a woman who was living
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: with her parents. I mean, it's crazy what they're doing
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: in some of these places. But here is an oasis
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: of sanity, and the last place I would have expected,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: San Francisco.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: It got so bad they had to make a change.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: And this guy is the cousin of Dan Goldman. I mean,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: and so this is fantastic. He's like, of course, we're
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: going to stand for Israel. We love Israel. Israel is
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: a great ally of this country, and the Jewish community
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: has made great contributions to our country, as well as
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the LGBTQ. We're not going to We're not going to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: do like mom, Donnie. Did you see his map the
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: other day of historic communities and he removed little Italy. Wow.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: The Italians in New York are like, are you telling
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: us the Italians did nothing? In New York.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I know your history.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: What'd you say is San Francisco is mayor's approval rate
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: seventy five percent.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Seventy four point three percent in the poll that came out.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: He is on fire right now, and he's got a
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: pack that he's building where he says, we're looking for
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: centrists across the country, people who want to be moderate Democrats.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: We need to help you, and so good for this.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I'm I look, politics makes for strange bedfellows. Never in
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: ak trillion years what I thought I'd be saying, let's
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: try to help the mayor of San Francisco accomplish something.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: But go, Daniel Lorie. I love what you're doing. I
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: love that. Look. We're not gonna see eye to eye
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: on a lot of politics. That's okay, But at least
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you're putting America first. You're putting San Francisco first. You're
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: putting the idea that San Francisco was a great community
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and should be a great city again in America. And
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: it's possible even with some leftist policies, just left of center,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit left. I remember when Trump was describing
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham or somebody that he said a little bit
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: to the of where I might be. That's okay, anyway,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: keep going, Daniel Lurie. I'm very happy to give you
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: that news. We've got more coming up. If you've got
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that or anything, you use the talk back feature.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: This is South Carolina's Morning News.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Live from the State Capitol. This is South Carolina's Morning
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: News with Kelly Nash.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: But lefter six am this morning, the US Central Command
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Forces began launching a new wave of strikes against Iran.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: As Pete Hexsas says, this is designed to further degrade
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: the military capabilities of the Iranian forces, which they've used
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Horror moves.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: When you think back, we've been quote unquote at war
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: with them since late February if I remember right, but
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: we've only had basically like thirty two days of actual fighting.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: So I think that we're seeing the United States is
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: now going to be serious about taking the Iranian regime down,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: and they are. They are going at it hard to
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: this morning. There's a lot.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Happening, and run responds by attacking its neighbors.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they're gonna They're just again they continue to
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: alienate themselves from the other countries in the region, which
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: is an unbelievable development because they had been that whole
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: OPEC thing was designed specifically to hurt the United States
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: years ago. OPEK is now falling apart in a lot
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: of those countries, like the UAE are now siding with
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: the United States against the Iranians. Even Iraq is going
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: against Iran. It's everybody's turning on them.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I'm expecting this to increase, not decrease. And I see
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: the United Nations this morning is now condemning our actions
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: because the Strait of Hormuz is so important to food
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: and other things, and well, yes, but we need to
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: open it up. Un they're not just gonna let things
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: flow anyway. We're keeping an eye on that and other
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: stories as well. This is South Carolina's Morning News.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: And it's a staff of two Christopher Thompson, myself, and
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: we're trying to get through everything. Christopher, you just told
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: me that Joe Biden has just posted a video of
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: himself promoting a new book.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: It is a trailer for Promise Me America. It comes
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: out November seventeenth. The trailer came out just minutes ago.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Can we hear a little clip? That's the presidency. I've
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: had a lot of people ask me, Joe, what have
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: you been doing. Oh my gosh, I'm just spending a
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: lot of time with my family.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I'm dealing with a cancer diagnosis and I've been getting
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: treatment and it's been going really well.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: You know, let's just stop it there. This is literally
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: probably take two hundred. I'm assuming this is the best
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: they can get. The audio needs to be transcripted below.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: It's like when you watch the BB and you don't
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: know what they're saying, even though they're speaking English. We
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: don't know what he's saying. I'm just reminded of Trump
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: going I have no idea what he's saying. I don't
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: even think he knows what he's saying. This guy wrote
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: a book talking about how he made all the big decisions.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: It touches on everything from the economy, he says, to
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: his decision to drop his bid for reelection.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you made no decisions. This book should
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: have been written by Jill and I don't know Valerie Jarrett.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: He is getting roasted online some people are calling it
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: an autopinography.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Perfect per as it should be. I mean, he why
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: does he continue to pretend that I guess he needs
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: the money. Jill probably did write the book, and Jill
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: probably wrote the script for this stupid trailer that he
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: has and said, go go out and sell this, Joe,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: we need some money around here.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: At least he's working on selling it now. But it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: a beautiful video. In between, it's Joe Biden trying to
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: make sense of it all, and I'm not sure anyone
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: can make sense of it all.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I like, somebody got another book cover for him, Joe Biden,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I was president question Mark and it's got that stupid
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: look out his face. Oh my gosh, this is comedy
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: comedy gold, you know what.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to read it November seventeenth.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: It comes out November seventeenth. We can finally see what
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the mind process the sharpest mind we've ever had in
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office, according to some We'll get to see
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: how he constructed decisions and maybe apply some of those
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: decision making processes to our own lives. Thank you, Joe,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: another gift from the Bidens. All right, this is South
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Carolina's Morning News.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly nash Well.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Chuck Grassley dropped a little bit of a bombshell yesterday.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Records that have been provided to the Senator show that
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: the Biden DOJ established what's called a filter team through
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Jack Smith's investigations. And as you remember, Jack Smith was
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: the guy who I remember when Jack Smith went to
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Subway and they said that proves that Donald Trump's guilty.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: He went to Subway. He's so confident that he's got him. Well,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: turns out not so much. And also turns out that
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: it appears that Jack Smith and his filter team were
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: illegally monitoring the phones of at least forty four Republicans,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: including the President's daughter, Ivanka Trump, White House Chief of
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Staff Mark Meadows, Vice President Mike Pence, Kelly an Conway,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Rudy Giuliani, Stephen Miller, Peter Navarro. The list goes on
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: and on in what was illegally tapped. According to Chuck Grassley,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I appreciate Rand Paul pointing out on his social media page.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: In December of twenty twenty, Jack Smith swore under oath
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: that he didn't spy on any text messages belonging to
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: any members of Congress. Today we have new evidence confirming
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: that he's not only did that, but he had dozens
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: and dozens of members of Congress, including myself, illegally being
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: spied upon. This is a blatant abuse of power and
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: exactly what the Founders warned against. I'm wondering is the
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: next step. Are we going to see some sort of
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you know, charges against Jack Smith.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Well, that's perjury right off the bat, isn't it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't seen it. I was waiting for
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Rand Paul to put a little bow on that and
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: say we'll be bringing pergery charges, but he didn't. He
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: just ended the tweet with this as a blatant abuse
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: of power and exactly what the Founders had warned about.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: But this, you know, as the and I hate to
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Sully the release of Joe Biden's hot new book that
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: you brought to our attention, But this just again brings
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: back to memory how abusive the Biden administration was, the
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Department of Justice under his watch, everything was designed to
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: abuse the American people, take advantage of government power, use
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it against Americans, you know, looking back at the whole
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty twenty one, the parent teacher meetings that
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: were suddenly the parents are being labeled as terrorists because
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: they don't like what the teachers are teaching. It was
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: a It's one of those times in history where if
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't live through it myself, I don't know that
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: I believe that it actually happened.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: You know what, if you look at current events and
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: what's happening today, you know we have an acting age
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: who is going before hearing. It's expected to be contentious,
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: to say the least. If I'm a Republican on that
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Judiciary Committee and talking to Todd Blanche today, I would
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: simply post questions that relate to the Jack Smith. I'd say,
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: how many times did you wiretap Joe Biden or his
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: chief of staff? How many times did you wiretap Well
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: Hunter Biden? Maybe the exception needed to be WAPs, but
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: how many times did you listen in on recordings of
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: Biden administration officials? How many times have you committed that
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: act against Democrats and frame it that way and just
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: constantly throw Jack Smith back in their faces.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Oh and somebody in the Ron Paul comments section has
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: got a screenshot this I wouldn't be buying tickets to
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: this to begin with. But there's a tour of I
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: don't even know what this is called the Colorado Series
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: dot com purchase season tickets. Evening two will feature doctor
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Sanjay Gupta, Stacy Abrams, the rightful Governor of Georgia. She
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: hasn't lost yet, Captain Scott Kelly, We're not gonna and
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: then the headliner, Jack Smith. Jack Smith is going to
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: come on stage and brag about how he really did
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: have the goods on Donald Trump and Congress refused to act.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: What's the date of that series.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I don't you know exactly.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: He may be in jail by that.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: They may have to find a new keynote speaker. Jack
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Smith may be in cuffs at that point. Again, I
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: joke because I unfortunately we don't see cuffs put on
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Democrats when they do violent or not violent, but in
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: this instance, blatant violations of the law. And I'm hoping
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: that Ryan Paul will start. I mean, he's one of
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: the victims here, but I'd like to hear from more
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: of these people. Where you know, Mike Pence has been
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: looking for somebody to listen to him for you know,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: several years now. This would be an opportunity for Mike
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Pence to actually get, you know, in front of some
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: cameras where people would actually listen to him. He should
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: be condemning this violently or vocally. We need to get
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: more people out in front of this because this is ridiculous.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: What the Biden administration did should never have happened, and
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: it can't be allowed to be repeated. This is such
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: an abuse of power and completely anti constitutional behavior. But
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: I'm glad, you know, thankfully that it's starting to come
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: out into the open. We'll see if it's a disinfectant
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: or not.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at the list of some of the lawmakers
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: who were listed as having their communications accessed by Jack Smith.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Corey Booker's on that list. There are several Democrats who
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: are on that list. Shouldn't they be just as outraged
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: as Republicans?
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I wonder that would be a head turner
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: if Corey Booker said, Jackson, who is Jack Smith? To
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: listen in on my private communication? I'd love that, but
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: he probably would say I granted him full I have
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: nothing to hide. I had broadcast my phone calls to
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: the world if it was possible. But anyway, you have
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: a good point we'll look for a Democrat to speak
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: out against it as well. All right, you're getting your
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: day started with South Carolina's morning news.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is South
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Carolina's Morning News on one O three point five FM,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WVOC, and ninety four to three WUSC.
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: So, it's some bad news for the state of South Carolina,
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: but because we're just broadcasting to our friends in the
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: low Country and the Midlands, it's not bad news for us.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: It's unfortunately Greenville and Myrtle Beach have become two of
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: the worst towns in America for bedbugs.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Ooh, that's not a reputation you want.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: No, And this is a numerous years in a row
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: for Greenville, and I don't know why that would happen,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: but they Myrtle Beach, they suspect because it's a vacation
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: destination that people are actually inadvertently bringing them from their
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: state wherever they are. By the way, Ohio worst state
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: in America for bedbugs, and they bring them in to
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach and then they leave them behind for for
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: us to enjoy.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: How many Ohio residents do we have that come here
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: every year.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Oh a ton. Yeah. I had a theory years ago
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: when I first moved here and I started meeting all
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: the people from Ohio that they had originally planned to
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: move to Florida. But they got here about after a
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: day and they spent the night and they said, ah,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Florida is too far away. I'll just stay here. It's
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: nice here, It's good enough here, It is good enough.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: But you know, if this is I had not ever
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: battled a bedbug before. Apparently it's a brutal infestation once
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: you get one, but they do. Here's a big tip
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: when you go on vacation, they say, try to keep
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: your clothes off the floor, keep you know, those types
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: of things. But also when you get home, put your
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: dryer safe clothes. Just don't even unpack, just dump them
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: right into the dryer and let them sit there for
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: about forty five minutes on high. Of course, your shirts
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: will come out about the size of an infants. But
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: you will have killed all the bed bugs. And apparently
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: one of the things the fallacies is you can kill
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: them with a hair dryer. You can't kill They say
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: that the bed bugs are able to you'll get them
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: out of the bed or whatever. But you're not going
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: to kill them. They're just going to go hide under
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: the carpet or something and then come back and start
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: biting you at night.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: That's how you usually know, And you know if you're
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: there longer than a day or two in places like
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Greenville or Myrtle Beach. Hate to smirch them, but if
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: you're there longer than that, you probably wake up with
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: a few bites and you know you're in for something.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been bitten by bed bugs,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: though I will admit when I used to travel a
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: lot for business, I was a little bit crazy the
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: way I would prepare for bed I would wear socks,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: sweatpants that were tucked into my socks, a T shirt
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: tucked into my sweatpants, so the only thing that was
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: basically exposed were my hands, neck and head. That was it.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: If they were gonna get me, that was the only
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: place they were gonna get me. But I don't remember
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: ever getting gotten, and I think I would have remembered
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: that I used to.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was the first move I made when
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: I got into a hotel room, is I would, you know,
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: sling the luggage on the bed.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: My wife will not let me do that.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: One of her rules is you never put your luggage
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: on the hotel bed, really because you know that's that's
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: where it starts.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: So but you're gonna get in that bed, Well that's true.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they may wind up with you one way or another,
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: but she's convinced we're not taking them back with us
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: in our luggage.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that's a look. If you have to suffer
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: at a hotel for a night or two, I guess
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: that's one thing. But like you say, once they get
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: into your house, yeah, that can be a massive problem apparently.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: So anyway, be on the lookout, especially if you're in
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: the Myrtle Beach or Greenville for like a day trip
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: or whatever. Be careful. And let's just let's keep the
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Midlands and the low Country clean of the bed bug,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: shall we. All right, let's get our and if you've
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: had a bad bed bug infestation, let us know how
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: that turned out for you. On the talkback feature on
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: the iHeart radio app, This is South Carolina's Morning News.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC Columbia and
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Now, Kelly Nash, all right, it appears that US Central
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Command has just wrapped up about a ninety minute operation
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: of bombing the crap out of Iran, and now they're
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: starting to post videos and it is devastating the stuff
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: that you're seeing. I'm not sure ton tunb Island. I'm
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: not sure which one that one was, but that barelya
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: that that island. To quote what was that guy's name,
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Hank Johnson from Georgia, it almost capsized. You remember the
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Hank Johnson quote to the admiral? Are we concerned that
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: too much military weight that the island of guamme capt size?
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Tomb Island looks like it's about ready to capsize it
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: it was destroyed. My concerns about this is that I
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: heard Donald Trump on the top of the hour news
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: break talking about these attacks will continue till I say
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: they stop. Perfect However, he followed that up by saying,
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: and until we can get the you know, some serious negotiations.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: You're never going to get serious negotiations from the IRGC.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter who's at the table, it's the IRGC.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: They are the ones carrying out all of this, and
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: they're not. Their goal is not to be comfortable. Their
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: goal is not to make a lot of money. Their
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: goal is not to have peace. None of that is
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: their goal. Their only goal in life is to overthrow
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: the West and or just the entire world and get
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: the world prepared for the return of the twelfth so
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: that we can have you know, Shangri la or whatever
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: that it's being preached. They're gonna lie, cheat, do whatever
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: they can in order to keep power. So I don't
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: know how many times to say it the unique different ways,
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: but we've got to kill the IRGC.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, Trump said yesterday the memorandum of understanding, that
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: negotiation that was going on jd Vance went all the
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: way over for that. He says, now it was just
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: a test, and that are on failed. Why does he
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: think it would be different the next time around?
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly, you're not. The value systems that we have on
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: life are different than the value systems that they have
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: on life, and you can't get them to overlap. The
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: way they look at everything is different than the way
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: we look at it. And it's with that old phrase,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: when somebody tells you who they are, believe them. And
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: the Iranians are telling you over and over again, we
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: don't value peace, we don't care about prosperity. They could
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: have had peace and prosperity literally at any time over
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: the past forty seven years. They saw what was happening
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: in Katar, they saw what was happening in the UAE.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: They chose to not follow that path. They don't want it.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: They want just complete radical Islam rule around the world.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: So I'm happy to see these videos that are being
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: posted now. Like I said, they just started posting them
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: about five minutes ago on social media. So I'll retweet
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: some of them if you follow me on social media,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: but I want to see a lot more of it.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: What I really want to see is IRGC no longer
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: achieving room temperature. When the IRGC or chief's room temperature,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: that's when we can have peace.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: Well, Trump has been threatening the power plans over there again.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: I guess his thought is that, yes, let's cripple the economy,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: let's cripple this government to the point that they have
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: to respond whether they want.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: To or not. Yeah. Well, it's so frustrating because it
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: didn't have to be this way, but it is this
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: way right now, and so let's just now, you got
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: to finish the job. Once the job's been started, we
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: got to finish it. So let's go team USA. Let's
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: let's go team freedom and just normal normalcy. Let's get
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: this thing back to normal and open up the straight
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: and take over the IRGC. That's my prayer for to
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: say for today. Maybe you have a different one. Let
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: us know on the talkback feature. Thanks forgetting your day
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: started with South Carolina's morning news.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: From the Midlands to the low Country.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning US on one O three
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: four to three WUSC.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: Now here's Kelly Nash.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: I read this story and I'm I get maybe I'm
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: easily shocked.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Is that what it is?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: It could be that my threshold for shockedness is low.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: It should be higher. We have a Canadian who was
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: allowed into the US in twenty twenty five, and I
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: think she got married and she got down here into
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: some guy in New Jersey. She was celebrating the fourth
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: of July in Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk, New Jersey, July third,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: when she saw according to police and their report, she
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: took exception with three miners. That's all they're listened as.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: We don't know their ages. We just know that they're miners.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: For wearing patriotic colored sweatpants. And one individual who was
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: wearing a Trump T shirt and another one was wearing
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: an Iced T shirt. She filmed herself, Caitlin E. Tracy
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: filmed herself walking up and smacking the underage girl in
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: the face.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: And I guess thought this was a heroic deed that
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: she had done as a Canadian who's now trying to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: adopt America as her new home. And she was arrested
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: and obstruction. And now there are people around this country
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: who are fundraising for this woman for her legal costs, because.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: How about fundraised for the underage girl she.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to you know, it's I hate to do
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the what aboutisms, But what about if somebody was wearing
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: a Kamala Harris T shirt and we walked up and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: smacked them in the face. And I would never encourage
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: anybody to smack anybody in the face. That is a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: you've already lost the argument if you're now smacking But
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: why would you go after a someone who is a
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess is probably about fourteen or fifteen. That
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: would be my guess if they're listed as a minor
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: and just started yelling at them and then smacked them
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: in the face and then filmed herself doing it and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: apparently posted it somewhere.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: She was proud of it. Yes, are you shocked or
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: it is a little shocking? All right?
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Good? My shock meter is not completely out of whack.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean I think every day you see
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: people do things on social media and you're just you're
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: so surprised that they would a do it and then
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: be put it out there and take pride in it
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: and think, Okay, I'm going to get a lot of clicks,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: but I'm proud of what I did.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: I want to show the world what I did.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Her husband, the American, I'm gonna look, he's made a
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: TikTok video of himself. I guess in their home he's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: got one of those John Gaycy paintings as a clown
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: behind them.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Oh that's creepy right there.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: That right there tells me you have some sort of
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: mental disorder if you're collecting John Gacy paintings you're not
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: right in the head. But he's basically the one leading
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: the fundraiser saying, my wife is trying to be a
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: great American and defend all American values. Are you defending
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: them from fourteen year.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: Olds assaulting fourteen year olds?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the fourteen year old is wearing
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: a pro Trump shirt. Okay, that is who the president
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: of the United States is, and a pro Ice shirt,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: which is an arm of enforcement in the United States.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: It's like wearing a US Marine shirt, a US Army shirt.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: We are proud of these people. This is anti American behavior.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: I don't care which side of the issue you come
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: down on it. We should all support our military and
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: our law enforcement officials, even though we have a bunch
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: of leftist Loans who continue to say they're a terrorist
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: mob or whatever. Apparently that the delusion continues, and there
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: are people who are giving money to her defense.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: Wow, and she was here legally, I mean, I know
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: she's married. Now was she originally in the country legally?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: I'm flip flopping between two different stories. Let me see. Okay,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: this is from New Jersey dot Com. Tracy is a
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Canadian citizen who entered the United States lawfully with a
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: passport in twenty twenty four.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, she was brought to the Ocean County jail.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Okay. Then they just continue with her being arrested and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: her husband very upset and blah blah blah. All she
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: did was fight for America. She's fight for America by
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: smacking a teenage girl in the mouth for wearing a
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Trump shirt.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: Hoof.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of division in this country, and
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: now the Canadians are adding to it.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw Bill Maher did a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: brilliant piece the other night on you know everyone's bragged
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: about Canada for years, Oh the Great White North. It's
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: you know, it's beautiful, and they've got the healthcare system
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: that Trump's hours, et cetera. Bill mart did a great
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: piece on how the government up there has ruined Canada
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: and if you look at unemployment, if you look at
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: almost every statistic, you know we're killing them. Oh and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: yet everyone continues to hold Canada up as Okay, this
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: is what we should aspire to be there.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I forget which province it is, because I don't really
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: pay that much attention to Canada. But it's like whatever
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: one of the like the provinces is continually to having
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: these votes to try to secede from Canada. Can we
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: get out of because they're the only ones who actually
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: produce stuff. Apparently they're the production manufacturing hub. I'm gonna
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: guess it's somewhere near Detroit, that would be my guess.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: And they're like, we got to get away from these loons.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: They're taking all of our money and just giving it
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: to these crazy socialist activities. So anyway, please feel free
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: to feel free to wear your Kamala Harris t shirts,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: feel free to wear your Trump T shirts. Nobody should
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: be smacked for wearing their political affiliation or even you know,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of something that the leftists might
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: wear that the right would hate. But don't smack people
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: in the face over it. For God, especially not children.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: My goodness. All right, well that's my extreme opinion. Don't
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: smack kids. Maybe you have a more moderate opinion. Let
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: us know on the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: In South Carolina's Morning News from.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: The State Capitol. This is South Carolina's Morning News with
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Kelly Nash.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: So, yesterday on congress or a congressional testimony, you had
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Amy Coney Ginsburg as some people are calling her after
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: her recent decisions, but also real name Amy Coney Barrett,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: along with Elena Kagan, testifying that they need security and
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars. And
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: this is just another sad update on the radicalization of
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: the left because the people on the right, I know
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: that they like to talk about right wing extremism and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, but the right wingers are
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: not the ones that are going and getting in front
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: of their houses even when it's something that the right
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: wing extremely disapprove approves of. It is the left that's
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: doing it. And you know, even Elena Kagan is being
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: threatened by the left when she votes with the majority.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: So it's one thing to hold a protest on the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: steps of the Supreme Court building, it's another to stalk
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: these justices as they go home at night.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: And why have we not launched a security business, because
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: that apparently is the gig to be in according the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: justices are asking for two hundred and twenty five point
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: one million dollars for next year for security. Well, it
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: is security and other things to go through. But I
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: actually believe every word they're saying that their lives are
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: now in danger, or, as Jack Nicholson said, grave danger.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Is there any other kind every time they leave the
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: building because we have radicalized so much of America and
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: this is horrible that we have to do this. But yes,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: I think we need to approve this. We need to
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: make sure that the justices are safe. What other options
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: do you have that they get a ruling quote unquote
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: wrong by mob standards and we lose them. That would
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: be the nuttiest of nutty things. I can't even imagine
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: what the country would be like then. Anyway, sad update there,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: but I think we're going to get the funding approved.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: All right. This is South Carolina's More News.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly nash.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Well. I think I might actually try to watch a
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: little World Cup action today, Christopher. This is being promoted
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: as the most bitter rivalry in all of World Cup history.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: Argentina England. It's three o'clock today, right, that's the and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: they're in Atlanta? Is that right?
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Atlanta? Yeah? So I'm jending champ Argentina.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: As it was described here. It's bigger than Red Sox Yankees.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: I would maybe for our friends here in the Southeastern Conference,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: maybe Alabama, Auburn or Ohio State, Michigan. This is they
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: these countries apparently hate each other.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna throw Carolina Clemson in there?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: Are we at that level?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Nothing's that big.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean I remember watching the ESPN
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: documentary where they were showing people were getting killed over
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: the Alabama Auburn game. I don't think we've gone that
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: far here. Yeah, we should. We love each other. We're
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: South Carolina. We can unite unlike those Alabamians. Anyway. That's
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a big game today three o'clock, so
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll have the fresh updates for us tomorrow.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: First thing, I hope you all enjoy your day, and
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: thanks for starting it with South Carolina's morning news.
