  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, I.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Really really really had high hopes last night for that speech,
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: and it just fell pretty flat. I hate to say that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Welcome into South Carolina's Morning News. Christopher Thompson.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Good morning to you, sir, Kelly.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I've been dying to hear what you had to say, because,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: as we all know, you're a huge Trump fan, but
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you're not afraid to call out the president, and I
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: get the feeling you're calling him out here.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, here's the way I see it, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I'd love to hear people's feedback on this. Use the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Donald Trump was sharing
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: some rather massive information, but it was first off, the
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: first mistake was letting the media know what it was
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: going to be about, because they then undercut you. They
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: chopped him at his knees. They had already tried to
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: say this has already been debunked, blah blah bah, they
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: had any and heard it. Yet then you had a
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: couple of networks not even carry it. Then, when you're
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: trying to give basically what this was or could have
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: should have would have been, was a twenty minute infomercial
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: to go to white House dot gov to see the
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: declassified documents that prove that China was involved in a
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: massive election fraud scheme here in the United States for
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: many years, going back to at least twenty eighteen, probably
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: earlier than that. None of that landed. It felt as
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: if it turned into he was speaking as if he
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: was at a rally, where at a rally, Yeah, people,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they want to hear your colorful terms, they want, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: when you're presenting data like that, it needed to be shorter.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: It needed to be just more precise. And if you
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: go to White House dot gov, I feel as if
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: that really needs to be cleaned up as well, because
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: they do have four sections, by the way, for those
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of you who haven't been yet, which is ninety nine
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: percent of America. When you go, they do have four sections,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: like if you want to read about the Department of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security and what they discovered, you want to see
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: with the CIA discoverage, you can go, but it's just
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a massive You open up zip file after zip file
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: after zip file, and then inside the zip files there's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: stuff to the brim with declassified emails and other assorted
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: things that just give us the juicy stuff. If you
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: want to see all of it, we got it. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: if you want the juicy stuff, where's the juice?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Kelly, I get what you're saying. I thought the fact
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that he led off with a six minute, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: rally speech, that was part of the problem. I mean,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get right to the meat of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of the speech, of the fact that he was talking
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: about election integrity, and instead we got here's what we're
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: doing that's so great, and you know, the economy is doing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We got six minutes of that before he even got
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to the you know, the meat of the speech. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: but when he did, I mean I felt like he
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: landed some blows.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, oh absolutely.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: The fact alone that that they have a White House
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: website already set up, so we was telling the media, Okay,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: if you doubt me, here's the evidence, go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Look for it for yourself, and that, like I said,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that's all great, and all of that information needed to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: be there. But like I said, if you go to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: white House dot gov, it's going to say do you
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: want to see those files? You click on it. Yes,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it's like four different sections, and then inside those four
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: different sections, there's these zip files, and then inside the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: zip files it's thousands of emails.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem because we just don't have that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: attention span anymore.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like when they dumped it was it's six
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: million pages on the Epstein files or something. Who has
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: time to go through that? Just give us the smoking guns?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: But all right, what times it's six or six? All right?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So this is a little part of it. I've got
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a whole bunch of the speech that we edited up
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: just to try to get to some of the meat
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of it. This is basically section one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: You can see these documents for yourself at white House
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: dot gov.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: That's white House.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Dot com of go check it out.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: They show that the People's Republic of China carried out
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: what is believed to be the largest compromise of election
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of two
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty million US voter files that would be
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: needed to register to vote. CIA reporting explicitly stated and
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I quote in mid twenty eighteen, the Chinese Communist Party's
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: were opposed to the US president in an effort to
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: reduce the US president's votes and make him resign or
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: prevent his re election. One email among intelligence analysts admitted
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: that they had quote deliberately massaged the presidential Daily Briefing
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: to withhold information regarding Chinese activities. Another official inside the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: FBI wrote that she was running quote a shadow government.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's unbelievable. You got an FBI agent saying
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we're running a shadow government, and that should be all
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: over the news. But today I went on Foxnews dot Com.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Wasn't even the number one story. They are number one
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: stories about Iran. So I mean, if you can't get
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Fox News to make a big deal out of this,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: who I mean. I'm sure Newsmax is. I haven't been
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to oa N yet, but you know, the mainstream media
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: is not making a big deal out of it. It
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: wasn't the number one story at the New York Post
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: this morning, which is a right leaning mainstream media outlet.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You can only imagine how far buried it is at
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the Washington Post or the New York Times or any
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of those types of places. Never mind, like we said,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: was a NBC and ABC didn't even carry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It, and then CNN, I think cut out after was
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: it CNN then or CBS that cut out after a while?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I mean again, lead with don't tell the media what
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: you're going to talk about, right, and then lead with
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the juice we have. We have documents now that proved
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that there were agents inside the FBI that claimed they
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: were running a shadow government. They were not giving the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: information not only to me, they weren't giving it to Congress.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: They misled Congress and the President of the United States
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: intentionally to help a foreign government run a election fraud
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: scheme against the American people.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: One of the things, Kelly that most impressed me is
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he didn't focus on himself all that much. Yeah, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: mentioned the President of the United States, He meant himself,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't all about Trump. He talked about the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: fact that you know, China has China infiltrated dozens of
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: states and got all kinds of voter information that they
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: don't deserve to have. And yeah, the clip you just
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: played the fact that we were not telling a sitting
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: president all he needed to know, and then the next
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: president who came in, according to these reports, covered up
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: what they knew.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have more from that speech to get to,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: including I don't know. Did this other nation besides China
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: know that they were going to get caught up in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the crossfire. We'll talk about them and more and again.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: If you have thoughts on last night's speech or other
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: subjects you'd like to get into this morning, we're here
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: for you on the talkback feature at the iHeartRadio app.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: That's Christopher Thompson. I'm Kelly Nash. This is South Carolina's morning.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: News, your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's morning news on one O three point five FM,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WVOC, and ninety four to three WUSC.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Now, Kelly Nash.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Would really love to know for those of you who
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: watched the speech last night, what did you think? Did
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: it work? Did it land? Did it? Do you think
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: it's going to motivate people to plug in? Or do
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you think it was kind of flat like I do.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Just use the talkback feature to let us know. Christopher Thompson,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: you go to bed early. I'm assuming did you stay
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: up to watch this? Oh?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, but watch Dan listen. You're a yazy
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: You were.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: There for and you listened to it on WVOC. I did,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and so did it sound better on WVOC than it
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: did on TV. Did you get so you went to
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: bed at well, like nine forty five is then ten after? Yeah, man,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and you get up early? Well, I mean I show
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: up at four and it looks like you've been working
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: all day already. So I did not watch it live.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I try to go to sleep and then I wake
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: up early, and I try to cut these things up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And so when I'm basing my assessment, this is fresh
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: to me, like I've been. I've watched this speech probably
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: three times now, and I, you know, to edit it
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: up and stuff. Here's another part of Trump's speech last night,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: talking about the CIA had assessed for years that our
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: elections weren't safe.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: They're vulnerable, and they're easily compromised, and people within our
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: government knew that. As one assessment states, we judged that
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: the United States adversars have the capability to compromise US
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: election infrastructure. The document goes on to further state that quote,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: we assess that centralized election related data repositors are most
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: vulnerable to exploitation, and adversars could use this access to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: these systems to disrupt election processes within the United States
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: of America. Many people have questioned whether it could actually
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: be possible to electronically manipulate vote totals. Today, we are
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: releasing documents that show the CIA obtained reporting of a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: specific plot to do a big number in favor of
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the corrupt Maduro regime in Venezuela. And that's exactly what happened.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: So the way he phrases things, I think kind of
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: takes a lot of the punch out of it. You know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the we've unveiled a scheme to help Maduro win the election,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and that's exactly what happened, rather than saying we've unveiled
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the scheme that actually helped Madua win the election. It's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: just a it's a slight tweaking of the phrasing, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I think it probably said one thing on the teleprompter
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and he just kind of went off.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It looks that way Kelly several times. And I don't
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: know if you've seen the reports, but his teleprompter guy,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: his normal teleprompter guy, was off the teleprompter last night.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, apparently the teleprompter, his regular teleprompter guy
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: has been taken off the case, busted for betting on Calshi.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my, Goshi inside information that he had related to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Trump's speeches. He would then go ahead bet on the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: predictions markets like Calshie. And now he's been taken off
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the teleprompter for a while, probably will be fired, but.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping he's actually arrested maybe. So, I mean, there
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: was some move meant I remember doing a video about that,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I want to say in the early spring, and I
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: can't remember. It was something maybe you had something to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: do with Iran or one of those types of things
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: where there was sudden movements in one of those types
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: of markets of huge amounts of money, like hundreds of
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars were being bet, and then it was
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: like it would be bett and then five minutes later
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Trump would give a speech exactly.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And so this guy is probably the guy. He probably was,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and he aroused enough suspicion that they immediately removed him
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: from his role. But you could, to your point, Kelly,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you could see Trump at times squint a little bit harder,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: as if he was trying to decide whether he was
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: going to read something or go off script. And you
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: got the feeling he did that several times.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that that cost him as well.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I mean it was a number of different mistakes. Again,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: my assessment only love to hear what you think. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: think he should have never told the press what I'm
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: going to be talking about. I just have major information
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that I'd like to share with the American people Thursday night. Instead,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: he said it's going to be about election integrity. They
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: already began a the whole machine was against him. This
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: has already been debunked. He's going to be rehashing old
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theories. Several networks said, we're not going to carry it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Then once he gets into it, it's not smoothly delivered
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: by the way, you know, as we kind of rethink
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: how things work in the world. I think one of
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the things that would be so beneficial, and I know
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: that he has people on his team that can do this,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: put the document up on the screen while he's speaking Kelly.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That had been a great idea.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Just pop it up there, this and here, take a
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: look at this and bam and then rather instead of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: just doing it the way we've always done it. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I think a huge missed opportunity for the president. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it's sad because I think his heart's in the right place.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: We're going to play some stuff coming up where you
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: can hear he really wants America to be united, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: he really wants these elections to be fair. Whether a
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Republican wins or a Democrat wins. At least let's have again.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: This is almost the cry of Joe Biden. Let democracy win.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: But what we have right now is apparently the Chinese
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: government is massively influencing the outcomes of our elections. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: then we're going to talk about a scheme that happened
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: in Michigan. I hadn't heard about this before. Maybe you had, Christopher,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: you're a little more plugged in on these types of things.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I hadn't heard about the telepropter guy. You broke that
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: news to me just now. I appreciate it. Anyway. This
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: is South Carolina's Morning News, South.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Carolina's Morning News on one O three point five FM
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and ninety four to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: three WSC Charleston.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And we're looking back at Donald Trump's speech from last night.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: If you're a consumer of ABC or NBC, you had
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: no chance to see this, but here's a little snippet
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of what he was saying.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: According to the DHS review, they identified approximately two hundred
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: and seventy eight thousand non citizens who are registered to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: vote in federal elections. Since Democrat states reviews to share
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: their voter files, the real number is actually much higher
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: than that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's twenty six states, Christopher, I might be
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: wrong on that one. You're the facts guy. Twenty six states, though,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: is what I believe did not turn over voter roles.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I remember South Carolina was one of them that didn't
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: want to at the beginning because they said, it's you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: secret information, classified information or whatever on voters. It's an
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: invasion of privacy. I never understood that because I was like, well,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: who gave me my Social Security number? Wasn't it the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: federal government? They know my birthday, they know where I live,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I pay taxes. I don't know what we're hiding. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: twenty six states have not turned it over. Of those
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: that did turn it over, they found two hundred and
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: seventy eight thousand known illegal aliens registered to vote.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: That's many, too many, too many?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Many?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Too many?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I mean one is too many.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And again, like he said, that's coming from states
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: like South Carolina, where we do a very good job.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: We like to think of protecting our elections not so
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: much so. I mean, if they could just take a
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: look at California, I bet California is gonna have way
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: more than the two hundred and seventy eight thousand that
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: they know of.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: And that was Kelly. That was one of the things
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that I thought that he missed on a little bit.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: There were some numbers he threw out, like the number
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of voter registration you know, infiltrations that were done by China.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I thought that should have been headline a and instead
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that kind of got buried in the It was just
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: he almost passed along too much information in an attempt
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to sway opinions. He almost gave us too much when
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: he should have just said, all right, here's what you
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: need to know China. You know, China has stolen your
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: voter records and we've got illegal aliens hundreds of thousands
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: who were registered to vote and taken it from there.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the problem is, like Tulci Gabbard I thought
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: did a great job when she unveiled what she had
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: found about the Obama administration and stuff, and again that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: were still waiting for more stuff to happen on that,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: but she was almost passionless the way she delivered the information.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: It was cold, it was this is what it is.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: This is the raw information. And Donald Trump is a
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: very emotional person, but so would be Cash Pattel, so
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: would and Mark Wayne Mwens new to the position. So
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: it's I'm not sure who else could have delivered it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I felt like it was a missed opportunity. Christopher Thompson agrees,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But also, what do you think maybe did you did
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: you even hear it? Did you stay up and watch it,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: or did you do like so many other people and
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: just tune into something else last night. I'm hoping that
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: in this audience, the South Carolina morning news audience, you
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: are the people who are the most paid the most
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: attention to it. However, it's really needed to be heard
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: by the people who do not listen to these types
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: of shows, and it's our job to try to get
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: it out to them. So that's my thoughts. What are
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you thinking? Let us know on the talkback feature on
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app. Good morning from South Carolina's morning news.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: From the Midlands to the low Country.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's morning news on one O three
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: four to three WSC.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Now here's Kelly Nash.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Good morning, this is Wayne. I listen on the iHeart app.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: I totally agree Trump's oratory is not for political speeches.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: They should have been smart enough to let jd Vance
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: or Marco Rubio write and deliver this speech. Their speech
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: style makes things sound important. Trump needs to divorce himself
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: from making political speeches, stick to the rally, and never
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: reveal what you're saying to the press.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: All right, So he's that guy is Team South Carolina's
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Morning News. He lined up perfectly with what we've been saying.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Christopher, Wayne's on your waveling killings.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: And yours as well. I think we were all in
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: agreement that last night was a there was a huge
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: revelation being made. But most Americans don't know this. Most
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Americans today, no, no more than they knew before they
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: went to bed last night. That Donald that the excuse me,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: The election integrity system in the United States was severely
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: compromised by China beginning in twenty eighteen. At least that's
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: what the documents showed that in twenty eighteen, our intelligence
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: agencies assessed that China was already infiltrating our elections. One
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: of the ways that they were doing it was through
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the machines, another way was through other things. Now I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: don't know that Trump used this DHS review enough, but
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: also I know that the FBI was involved, and this
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: was a case up in Michigan. And again, this is
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: a pretty monumental story that has kind of been broomed
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: under the rug.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Among the disclosures tonight are FBI files detailing evidence of
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: alleged fraud by a large scale voter registration operation in Michigan.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: that they signed voter registration forms and other people's names,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: submitted fraudulent registration for people who did not exist, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: received gift cards tied to their number of applications that
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: they produced.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: So they're incentivized to come up with ways to get
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: more people on the voter rolls, including people who don't
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: even exist. I don't know how you do that. How
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: do you get somebody who doesn't exist as a registered voter?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I mean same way you get a credit card, if
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, you use a fake name and try and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: come up with some I mean, we see this all
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the time on the dark web, where people, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: clone people's information, use a different social Security number, maybe
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: something you've bought on the dark web.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: When he says they they don't exist, I'm wondering if
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: he meant like they're dead. People could be you know,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It's like that old joke we were talking about the
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: other day. When I die in Chicago, please don't let
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: me start voting Democrats.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's what he meant by that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he meant they literally just created
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: people out of thin air. This is Bill Johnson at
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: one twenty three Main Street, born on what you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: June tenth, nineteen sixty four. Uh, And he's a new
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: voter in Michigan. But and who is behind that? Like
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: that is was was China the one paying for the
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: gift cards? Was it just was it? You know what,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: like Soros gang? Was they finance it? Who's paying for this?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I understand why young people might not recognize the severity
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: of what they were doing. I might understand that, But
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: this is a very corrupt system that was allowed to
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: go on in Michigan for years and again, how many
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: thousands of people. I'd love to know how many thousands
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of people were registered by these canvassers. Matt, this is
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: again one of the four pillars that was going against
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the United States election system, which again has been exposed
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: as very corrupt. A ball. I'm not saying it's corrupt.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I'm saying it's corrupt a bull. And again, this was
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: an infomercial basically for two things, to Save America Act
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: and go to White House dot gov to see all
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: the documents.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: And Kelly, here's the scary part, is I mean? And
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the President made a great point at the end of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that speech. He said no one should be against improving
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: our election integrity. And yet after he said what he
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: said about Michigan, you had the governor Gretchen Whitmer and
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: all these election officials in Michigan saying, oh, Trump's dead wrong,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: our elections are completely safe. Wouldn't you say, well, let's
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: investigate what Trump had to say, let's make sure he's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: not right. Instead, they're already denying everything that happened when
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: they should be looking at their Everyone should want a stronger,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: more secure election.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And Christopher, wouldn't it be almost impossible to push back
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: on it. If it's in fact the FBI who was
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: making these arrests, you would think, so there's got to
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: be arrest I'm sure in this massive data dump, there's
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: gonna be the names of the people. But they didn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: provide us with the names of the people they arrested.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: That there were so many things missing in last night's
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: speech and so many things that didn't need to be
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: put into the speech that it just kind of became
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: a flat mess. And I'm I for one, am disappointed.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: But we'll push on. Go ahead and call your local
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: here in South Carolina. Who are we gonna call? I mean,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the only person that you could call it's against it
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: would be James Clyburn. Flood his office today and let
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: him know you want to Save America Act passed. All right,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: we're getting to going and what's going on with Charleston.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Why is there an attack against Charleston from federal officials.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that next on South Carolina's Morning.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Nears Live from the state Capitol.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Senator Roger Wicker is the head of something called the
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Helsinki Commission, which is scheduled to have a meeting with
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: fifty seven countries. It was scheduled to be in Charleston,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, but the senator from Mississippi says Charleston is
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: not up to hosting it. They don't have enough good restaurants,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: they don't have enough good hotels. Joe Wilson has taken
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: great exception to that and is fighting with him online,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: in private text messages and now posting public letters, fighting
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to keep this coming to the great international city of Charleston,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. Roger Wicker told Joe Wilson to stop embarrassing himself.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Roger, You're the one embarrassing yourself.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Charleston is a world class city, and the fact that
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: you don't think that they're up to hosting this just
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: shows you're a moron who's probably never been here. You
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: should come and experience the greatness that is Charleston, South Carolina.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I've just reposted our representative Joe Wilson, who is leading
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: the fight to keep it in Charleston. You can read
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: more about that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping Joe Wilson can win that fight and keep
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the big conference in Charleston, South Carolina over the moron
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: senator from Mississippi. But I also just found out about
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: another battle that's going on, this one putting the state
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: of Virginia versus South Carolina. And there is some interesting
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: fun facts involved in that story. I think, Christopher Thompson,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: the truth will be revealed and Sumpter, South Carolina will
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: be declared the winner. This is an amazing development, Sumpter
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: versus Virginia, specifically Norfolk, Okay, Norfolk versus Sumpter. And this
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: is a battle that is raging throughout the interwebs today
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: and we will talk a little bit more about that.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: It really doesn't impact our lives that much other than
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: bragging rights.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: But we like Look, South Carolinians, we love bragging. We
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: won the American Revolution over Virginia.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Damn right, we did, and we're going to win this too,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: and we'll tell you about what that is and other things.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I really thought I had that Mike turned
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: on this morning. Good morning, This is Kelly Nash, that's
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Christopher Thompson. We are talking about a battle that is
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: now raging on the internet regarding South Carolina versus Virginia.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: This started because there was a story printed regarding the
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: most valuable chain in each state. So I should say company.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's companies because I'm looking, well, maybe it
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: is just chains, because they're looking at like Walmart for Arkansas,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Publics in Florida, the Home Depot in Georgia, Lowe's in
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, Sam's Clubs out of Oklahoma, Nike out of Oregon.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: The list goes on and on and on. Now here
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: in South Carolina. I did not know that this was born,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: and I would have said the most valuable chain we
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: had is like Hooty and the Blowfish. But it turns
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: out that dollar Tree is the most valuable South Carolina
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: homegrown brand.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: It says, all right, Kelly, I had no idea that
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: dollar Tree was founded here in South Carolina, nor.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Did the people of Virginia. And they are upset about
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: it because apparently they are claiming credit for the dollar
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Tree because the guy who invented dollar Tree is from Norfolk, Virginia,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: and he launched what do they call the Ben Franklin
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Variety stores in Northfook back in the nineteen fifties, and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: then he launched a whole bunch of other things, like
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I think I remember Kay and K Toys was a
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: little brand for a while. They said they had one
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty stores on the East coast with that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Then they launched the only Dollar with five stores that
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: eventually went to Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia. But when he came
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: to South Carolina, there was going to be a brand
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: new mall. Christopher Sumter, South Carolina now has the Sumter Mall.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: But what was it? What was what it used to be?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: It was the Jessmin Mall earlier the Jessmine Mall, because
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I thought maybe it was pronounced as jasmine.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I think I think even Sumter residents would argue back
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: and forth about how it was pronounced. But I think
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: most people said Jessmin Mall.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Okay. So this mall was going to be launched in
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety and in April of nineteen eighty nine, that
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: guy said we're launching a new store in Sumter, South
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Carolina called Dollar Tree. So we take credit as the
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: state that had the first ever Dollar Tree, meaning it
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: was launched in South Carolina and the people of Virginia
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: can put that in their pipe and smoke it. Yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I don't, Kelly, I don't know what the big argument is.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: They can have all the Ben Franklin stores they want,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: But it's everyone knows it is dollar Tree now and
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it was started right here.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: It is at South Carolinas. They would have put a
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: little palmetto in the logo or something. People look, we
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: go nuts for the palmetto tree. You put that in
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: something that's gonna sell, you make it look at It
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: was kind of like when we found out what was it, like, gosh,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: maybe ten years ago we found out we didn't even
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: have an official South Carolina state flag. But so anybody
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: could just print anything that looked kind of like a
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: South Carolina state flag and sell it, and those things
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: sell out all over the outside of Texas. I don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: think there's a state flag as popular as South Carolina's.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: It's the color, it's the palmetto tree, and Kelly, everyone
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: loves that flag.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: And it just you know what else, it says freedom. Yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: it's like the American flag. Freedom. It's almost like they
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: don't tread on me flag. You see that South Carolina flag,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: you know, whoever's driving or whatever's got that thing hang
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: in front of the house. They mean business. So we
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: are a proud bunch in South Carolina. And I did
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: not know that we can claim dollar Tree, but I
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: am going to get I don't know, a dollar Tree
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: logo or something. Put that in front of my house
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: as well. That's ours South Carolina. We got a lot
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: to be proud of here coming up in just a
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: little bit. I was surprised to see the early polling
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: on who's going to replace Lindsey Graham. That's some breaking
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: news today. Also, I'm going to tie that in with
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: what's going on in Maine. We had a little discussion
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: yesterday on the show regarding who can vote in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: upcoming primary Maine almost going a one eighty on what
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: we're doing. We'll talk about that and anything else you'd
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: like to talk about. You can hit us on the
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: talkback feature that's on the iHeartRadio app with South Carolina's morning.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: News, your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: South Carolina's Morning News on one O three point five FM,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WV and ninety four to three WSC.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: All right, there's a new Emerson poll out, who would
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: you vote for today to replace Lindsey Graham if they
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: had it today? Likely voters right now winning undecided, eighteen
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: percent said undecided.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Now, no, that's that's not a big surprise, Kelly, considering
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: no one's officially other than Mark Lynch declared.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yet, and Mark Lynch is not even in second place
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: behind undecided. It is currently Ralph Norman with sixteen percent.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Then Mark Lynch, Nancy Mace, and Pamela Evitt tied at
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: ten percent, and the guy the hot name that everybody
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: was talking about just a few days ago, Russell Frye
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: at nine percent. So he's a if we don't count
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: undecided as the leader. If we just say Ralph Norman's
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: in the lead, it's Lynch and second Mace and Evan
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: tied for third. Then fry at fourth place right now
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: with nine percent. The way it was being described on
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Monday was Russell Frye was going to pull at like
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: thirty eight percent or something. But he's at nine, And
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: then I'm shocked at the next two names, Henry McMaster
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: at eight. Is that like, is that a legitimate thought
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: that Henry McMaster is going to run for the Senate
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: for a six year term.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I wouldn't think so. I mean, especially
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: after doing two terms as governor, I would think he's done.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: You would have I can't igine. I mean, how old
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: is Henry He's got to be like in his mid
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: to late seventies. I would think Darlene Graham comes in
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: with six percent and then Mark Sandford. Mark Sandford's polling
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: behind basically two or three people who have said I'm
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: not running. But I don't see the name Nikky Haley
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: on this is there is there a reason why Nikki
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Hailey's name has not appeared.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would think it's because she's already said
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: she's not planning to enter the race.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Did she she's.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I think I think she's all but said that she
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: she's that's not the race.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: For her, okay, because I have not heard her say
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it. But I guess to
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: your point of all But said, maybe that's why her
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: name didn't appear here. But maybe I'm pretty sure Darlene
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Graham has said I'm not looking to continue.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know why they pulled for
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: her or for Henry McMaster, because I haven't heard anyone
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: mention there was there was thought that he might appoint
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: himself to sit out the rest of Lindsay Graham's term,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: but not actually running for election in November.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is done by Emerson College and news too,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: And I'm trying to figure out it sounds as if
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: they just asked if you were to vote today. No,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: you know, there's nobody really declared who would you vote at?
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Mark Lynch, Yeah, who would you vote for? And that's
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: these are the names that came back. Now, maybe they
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: prefaced it by saying and remember, Nicky Haley's pretty much
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: said she's not interested. But I would have expected people
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: to say, well, I don't care, I'd still vote for her.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna draft her. You know, I have seen a
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: lot of online support for Nicki Haley. But yeah, does
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: that catch you off guard that that Darlene Graham and
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Henry McMaster are pulling above Mark Sandford a little?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I did know. Meg Canard from the AP posted yesterday
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: that Mark Sandford had updated his I guess Sandford for
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: House campaign filing and it's now called the Sanford Senate filing.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's I don't know how much more obvious.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: It could be that Mark Sandford wants to run.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: He's at least positioning himself Kelly with his money, yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to get into the race. Maybe he's waiting to see
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: who else you first. That the name Ralph Norman at
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the top Killy doesn't surprise me, just because I mean,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: he's got huge name recognition right now coming off that
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: governor's race.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, Donald Trump would never endorse Ralph Norman
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: because he'll always be forever angry that Ralph endorsed Nicky
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Haley for the presidency.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Will Trump endorse Russell Fry as we've seen speculated about online,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and will that make a difference. Remember Trump originally endorsed
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Pamela evitts Well, I was going to give her much
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: of a bounce.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Look he's got If he's gonna do an endorsement, he'll
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: have to do the double endorsement that only Donald Trump
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: can do. I love both Pamela and Russell.
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: They're both beautiful people. Never let you down. You're gonna
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: love him. I can't imagine he would pick one over
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: the other. But I hadn't anticipated him picking Pamela Evitt either.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: I thought he was gonna sit that race out because
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: he is close with the Wilson family. But you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: I think we all know he was trying to force
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Henry mcmathon junior onto Pamela Evitt with that endorsement back
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: back when he made that, but that didn't work out
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: for him either.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. Maybe he'll just say South Carolina,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: you're all on your own. You all just figure it
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: out amongst yourselves, which is probably the best thing at
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I think people will start sorting it out. Kelly, when
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: people actually other than Mark Lynch declare that they're running
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: right now, it's all speculation, but it's got to happen soon.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're running on some tight deadlines here.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: So Christopher, when they have till to file, I think
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the last day is like July twenty eighth, I think,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: or something like that. It's it's to your point very soon.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: It's like they have like ten more days to get
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: their name get you had to get the ten thousand,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: four hundred and ninety eight dollars or whatever it is,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: and you know, file the paperwork in order to be
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: available to be on the ballot.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, filing opened Tuesday and goes through Yeah, less than
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a week to organize your campaign and get it set
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: and get up and running.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: So a lot of decisions will be coming fast and furious.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I would not be surprised to see some of these
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: announcements come over the weekend. So Monday, when we return,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: we'll have a whole bunch of fresh stuff to talk about.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: I'm going to look a little bit more into this
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: main thing, because the main story that I was alluding
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: to I heard on the Hannity Show yesterday. I have
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: not been able to confirm it independently. But if what
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I heard from Hannity yesterday is true, this is a
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: This is the deep state of the Democrat Party trying
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: to control something in a big way. Which if if
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: this all comes to play out to fruition the way
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: it was being described yesterday, Oh there's gonna be payoffs,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be riots, there's it's gonna be a mess,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: and I'm here.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: For it all right now, you've piqued my curiosity.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I might even just float the rumor
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: if I can't, if I can't confirm it, I might
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: say this is what I heard. We'll get into that next.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: And other things as well, including your talkbacks on the
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app. It's South Carolina's Morning News.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina Morning News on one O three
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Now Kelly Nash.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: In a rather shocking change of fortune, Graham Platner, mister,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: uh like to have somebody break into my house so
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I can exert my dominance. Guy is out in Maine
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: after winning more primary votes than any candidate in Maine history. Now, again,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Maine's a pretty small state, but they had over one
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand people voted for Grand Platner. One
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: of the reasons that Platner got so many votes, though,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: is because in twenty twenty four, Maine changed their voting laws,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and so they became a semi open primary state, kind
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: of similar to what we do here in South Carolina,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: where you don't have to have a party affiliation. Here
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: in South Carolina, you can't have a party affiliation at
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: this point in Maine. You can be what they call
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: an enrolled voter or an unenrolled voter, that's the phrase
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: they use. And so about forty eight percent of Platner's
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: votes came from people who had no party affiliation. Now
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: as they move on, this is great. The main Democrats announced,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm just now I did find this on their website.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: The Main Democrat Party announced that they are going to
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: have a nominating convention July twenty fifth, in which six
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: hundred and one delegates will vote on the Democrat nominee
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: for US Senate. In order to be a delegate, you
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: must be a registered Democrat. In other words, forty eight
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: percent of the people who voted for grand Platner will
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: not have any opportunity to have any say as to
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: who will be replacing grand Platner. They are beyond ticked
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I can imagine the shades of Kamala Harris just being
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: show shoved down the throats of voters.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, the Democrat Party. And again this is so
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: perfect because it happens to them and they get so upset.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: But the Democrat Look, the Democrat Party, liberalism in general
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: is always run by people who want authority, and in
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: this instance kind of like what happened, not only with
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris Christopher, but go back to you know, Bernie
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Sanders could have should have would have won the nominee
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: back in twenty sixteen, but the Democrats stepped in with
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: something called super delegates, which basically overrode the will of
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: the people, and then they could pick Hillary Clinton. In
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: this instance, they're gonna grant Platner was a mess. They
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: recognized it. Where we, the people in charge the wise,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: the infallible Democrat Party, will pick a great nominee for you.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: This is just going to sabotage the will of the
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: motivated people that they had. Again, most of them far
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: left lunatics. They didn't want to register with the Democrat
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Party because the Democrat Party wasn't leftist enough. That's the
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: majority of the Platiner they are.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: They're good.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Well, can they even have a riot in Maine. I
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're if they have the infrastructure to
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: have a riot, but they'll be working on building infrastructure
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: to tear it down to show their displeasure with how
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: the main Democrats are overriding their will. So again you're
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: going to find out who's replacing Platner here on July
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: twenty fifth, I guess at their big convention, we're going
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: to find out more about who's replacing Lindsay Graham. We're
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: going to have everybody will be in within the next
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: week or so. Uh, and so we can move forward
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: from there. And then it's only a two week process.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: And I understand we are getting some talkbacks on that.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: If you want to be a part of the Lindsay
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Graham Conversation, we'd love to have you, just use the
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. We just went through
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: the Emerson poll a little while ago. I was a
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: little surprised as the who the front runner was. Maybe
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: you weren't or maybe you didn't hear it. We'll kind
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: of get back into that moving forward. Thanks for starting
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: your day with South Carolina's Morning News.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: point five at five sixty AM WVOC and ninety four
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: to three WSC.
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: Now here's Kelly Nash.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: I got that poll yesterday too, and Nick Mulvaney's name
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: was on it. Not a bad cadet for us, mckmulvaney.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: That is a blast from the past. I do not
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: see that. Maybe I'm reading the I'm reading the Channel
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: two coverage. They are the ones who commissioned this along
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: with Emerson College.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: And his name Kelly was not on that pole, that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: particular Emerson pole we've been referring to. So there must
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: be multiple poles out in the field right now, which
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: is not a big surprise.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to see the pole that has mckmulvaney.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: What is Mick moulvaney doing.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Good question?
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I know the look, And this is one of the
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: things I always have to remind myself of Christopher. People
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: moved to South Carolina all the time, one of the
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: fastest growing states in the country. And also people develop
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: in a appreciation of politics at different stages of their lives.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: So somebody who is maybe thirty five now and interested
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: in politics ten years ago didn't care about politics, had
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: no idea who mickmulvaney was. So mckmulvaney had the seat
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: that Ralph Norman currently has, and then he left to
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: go to work for the president, and then he kind
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: of had a falling out with the president, and then
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: he ended up for a while he was like a
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: podcast or something, and he was appearing on certain It
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: wasn't even like MS now. It was like a network
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: below MS NOW.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Which I think he's Kelly's on News Nation is he
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: on News Nation now Okay, working for him and he
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: advises clients as well as most people do. When they
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: get out of government, they find work within the lobbying industry.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Mckmulvaney, when I had a political afternoon show on WVOC,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: was one of our favorite guests. He was always engaging,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: always had hot takes. Matter of fact, one of the
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: highlights for me hosting the afternoon show back in the
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: day was it was Jonathan Rush and myself and we
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: would and you put Rush and Nash together, you get
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: rash and we call ourselves rash thoughts. And so one
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: week we were on vacation. I don't know how we
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: convinced them to do it, but we got Trey Goudi
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: and Mick mulvaney to guest host the afternoon show for
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: a week.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic, Yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: And we and those two we had special you know,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: for those of you not in the industry, this is
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit behind the scenes. We have these like
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: big voice guys and whatever that make these what we
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: call sweepers and so like when you hear now the
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: morning news, those types of things, and so we had
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: always had those Rush and Nash it's rash thoughts or whatever.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: So for them, I think we called it uh Trey
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: and Mick it's trick radio right, And I remember Mulvaney,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: no is it I forget what one of their middle
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: names is, Prescott, and they were like, I'm just so
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: happy they didn't use my middle name. They were fantastic.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I have not heard from Mick Maulvaney in years,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: So that is an interesting name, a blast from the past.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I had mentioned to you, Christopher, I wouldn't be surprised
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: to see the name Andre Bauer pop up.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: True. And Kelly, I've seen some speculation about him as well.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: He was thinking about running at one point against Lindsey
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Graham and then decided not to get into the race.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Could he be having second thoughts now that Graham's no
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: longer on the ballot.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Who knows, Suddenly Lindsey Graham's a lot more beatable, That
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: is without question. I mean, this is the first legit opening,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: because again, I never really believed that Lindsay Graham would
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: ever pull or excuse me, get less than about fifty
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: three percent of the votes. For years, I've heard from many,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: many conservatives who did not like Lindsay Graham's policies, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: they recognized that he was always tacking back towards the
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: right when it comes to election time, and they felt
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: as if the voters were being misled and then he
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: would go back to the center or whatever. I never
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: felt that way about Linda. I didn't agree with all
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: his policies, but I also thought he always kind of
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: backed what he meant and what he said. But I
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: just felt like he aligned pretty well with about fifty
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: three percent of the Republican voters, which is going to
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: get you about sixty to sixty five percent of the
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: South Carolina voters. And that's why he was unbeatable as
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: long as he didn't do anything crazy. And now he's
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: not here. So this is going to be a wide
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: open race for legit, and it's unfortunately only going to
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: be two weeks long, and we don't even know who's
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: in it except for who did we say.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: We got in, Mark Lynch? Mark Lynch is in.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: He is definitely in. Ralph Norman currently leading according to
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: the Emerson Channel two Pole at sixteen percent, Lynch at thirteen,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Nancy Mace and Pamela Evitt both at ten. Russell Frye
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: at nine percent, and for some reason they got Henry
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: McMaster at eight percent, who I would think would not
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: even be interested in this position.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't think so.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: And I don't think Darlene Graham Nordon wants the job either,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: and she's at six percent, and then Mark Sanford at
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: five percent. That's the way the point is at this point,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: and again the majority still undecided. Do you have a
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: dream candidate, maybe somebody we haven't considered yet, somebody you'd
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: like to bring back from the past, or somebody who's.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: A hot And like, what about that guy John Warren?
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: I like John Warren when he ran for governor, he
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: almost beat Henry McMaster in the primary in twenty twenty
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: or whatever that year was. He'd be I think a
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: great candidate.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: But Kelly, going back to your last point, and I
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: saw somebody mention this online yesterday. You know, why are
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: we simply rehashing a lot of old candidates. It just
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: looks like the field is so focused on, you know,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: historic figures from the past instead of young up and comers.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: And I guess you know that's probably going to be
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Russell fry if he gets into this race, He's going
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: to tat himself as you know, I'm new. I'm you know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: relatively new to the political scene. I'm not one of
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: these old, established, you know, lifetime politicians. I can get
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: things done and I can be there for a period
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: of time.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: And you and I don't get this. None of us
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: get to say who gets to run. If there's a
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: young person who wants to throw their name in that,
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: get after it. Sure, Trey, if that's a dream of
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: yours to be a leader in this country and you
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: want to be a US senator. I mean, it's not
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: easy to start at the Senate level. Usually you have
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: to start at a county council or something and move
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: your way up. But Donald Trump started as the president,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: so it's not impossible to do. It is just very difficult.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: But yes, I would encourage everybody to chase their dreams,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: and I hope that we do get some young, fresh
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: talent into these races. But that's where we're at, where
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: you at. If you've got more thoughts on the Senate
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: race or anything else, you can use the talkback feature
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. We'll try to get you on
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: the air. South Carolina's morning News.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Live from the State Capitol.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: So last night Donald Trump gave a big speech that
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: in the first hour we kind of broke it down.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll break it down a little bit more in
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: the eight o'clock hour as well, regarding the Chinese manipulation
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: of voter elections and how they've got access to two
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty million voters data and how they might
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: have been using it, and the more importantly, how the
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: FBI and other intelligence agencies were not telling Congress what
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: they knew when they knew it. That is a shocking
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: claim and there's apparently mass amounts of data to back
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: that up. You have to go to White House dot
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: gov in order to see it, and then you have
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: to I wish they would just give us a best
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: of list rather than making me scroll through that. But
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: we'll continue to do our best. Even though we're not
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: official journalists, we're opinion makers. Christopher Thompson and I and
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: Christopher I just saw this story out of Georgia. This,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: you know Trump, thankfully, I don't think he mentioned Georgia
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: last night that he did not, which was a good thing.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: But this is an interesting thing. So Joe Biden won
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Georgia in twenty twenty by eleven thousand, seven hundred and
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: seventy nine votes, and if you look at the vote totals,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Biden got two point four million, Trump got two point
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: four million, and then we're just off by a few
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: thousand after that. According to well I'm looking at Georgia
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: votes dot com. If you were to look at Georgia
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: votes dot com, the increase in total vote, they had
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: only had two million, four hundred and ten thousand in
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: the previous election, so they basically doubled the amount of
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: people who voted in the twenty twenty election. Now, according
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: to some of the data dump, the allegation is being
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: made and I cannot independently confirm, but I will just
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: read it. Georgia had thirty six thousand, five hundred and
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: ninety nine registered voters who actually exceeded the citizen voting
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: age population. So the allegation is there was thirty six thousand,
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: five hundred and ninety nine people who voted, and that's
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: thirty six five hundred ninety nine people more than could
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: have voted just based on the people over the age
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: of eighteen in the state of Georgia. Now, the Georgia
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Elections Commission did say it's the not only the greatest
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: voter turnout we've ever had by numbers, it far exceeded
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: our wildest imaginations, with almost ninety seven percent of all
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: registered voters turning out to vote in that election, which
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: is I mean, you're lucky when you get like seventy percent.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: So the Georgia allegations are at it best, makes it
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: an odd thing, and we really do need to do
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: a better job of making sure that elections are secure,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: because this allegation wouldn't be made if it wasn't plausible,
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: if we hadn't seen with our own eyes that woman
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: in the new it was it. It was one of
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: the Channel eleven or whatever eleven alive news. They're doing
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: a live shot and you see the woman in the
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: background and the guy's like, and this is one of
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: the voter boxes where you can come and and she's
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: dumping like boxes upon boxes. It was like, this is
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: clearly illegal activity. You're not allowed to compile everybody's vote
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: and bring it. Never mind, the assumption would be you
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: filled out all those ballots and brought them. So I
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: would love to see us clean up our elections. The
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Save America Act is on its last breaths right now.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they can figure out a way to save it.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham said he had a way to save it.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: We'll see if that plan has been passed on to anybody,
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: And keep a close eye on mister John Thune and
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: others as this week continues. You've got South Carolina's Morning News.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: And we were supposed to have the largest rocket ship
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: ever launched. Yesterday didn't go so well. We're gonna talk
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: to ry O'Neil about what happened and what is going
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: on with Elon Musk. He has lost his trillionaire status.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Are we going to have a fundraiser? Do you think
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren is gonna she was so offended that he
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: became a trillionaire. Did she sabotage him? What is happening?
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: So it's worth going up and down at this point.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's sweating where he's going to get
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: his next meal.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: No, maybe he's sweating a future tax policy though maybe
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: tell you Rory O'Neil will have a bunch to talk
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: about with that.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: The hope and anticipation last night, everybody was excited the
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: largest rocket in the history of the world was going
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: to be launched, and then it wasn't. Rory O'Neill joins us.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Rory did what happened last night for Elon?
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they got all the way down to three two
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: one zero even. They deployed the sound suppression system, all
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: that water that they dump onto the launch pad that
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: got dumped down, and the engines lit for a fraction
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: of a second, but four or five of them did
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: not ignite, so the computer shut things down.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: So they're hoping to.
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: Be able to relaunch this rocket maybe next week, but
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: first they got to figure out why some of those
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: Raptor engines didn't ignite, and then they got to go
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: back through the process of reloading four million gallons of
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: water and everything else that's needed to start the countdown.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I was listening to some space experts talking about how
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: important last night was going to be in the sense
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: that what they're really looking at, obviously, how well do
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: these engines work and not so well so far. But
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: more importantly, how quickly would Elon be able to turn
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: this around? Meaning you got to be he's talking about
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: next was it twenty twenty eight? He's hoping to launch
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: this thing like hundreds of times, right.
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: The whole idea is that it's gas and go that
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: you can have. Now, this is a two stage rocket,
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: so there's the bottom part, which is called the booster,
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: and then Starship is the top half. The idea being
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: that when you launch this whole thing, Starship can go
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: off and do its things, say it's going to the moon,
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: and that the booster comes back lands vertically upright by
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: a pair of chopsticks they call it. And then all
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: you have to do is put the ga you know,
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: refuel the gas tank, and you're ready.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: To go again.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: That's the ideal model, and Elon Musk hopes to have,
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: as you said, dozens, if not hundreds of these launches
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: of Starship every year. But this is test launch number
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: thirteen that we got to get through.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: First.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: They've got a few things they want to test on
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: this market.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: This makeup of.
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: Version three they call it a Starship, So yeah, a
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: little disappointed. They couldn't get off the pad yesterday.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: And they've lost a boatload of money. I remember he
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: he lost what was it like thirteen billion dollars in
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: like twenty twenty three or something when one of the
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: engines exploded. This time they're talking about he's lost He
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: lost three percent before the and now you lost three
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: and a half in pre market, so he's down to
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: he lost like nine dollars per share yesterday, so he's
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: no longer anywhere near a trillionaire.
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there have been big swings, and that's
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: sort of the downside of this when you make the
• 55:15
  Speaker 8: stock go public, because whatever, especially when it's starship a
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: rocket is big. When it goes wrong, it goes wrong
• 55:22
  Speaker 8: in a spectacular fashion. So that's one of the concerns
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: of now having this traded publicly, that people who don't
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: maybe appreciate that this is a test, it's part of
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: a long process, not even barely a bump in the highway,
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: but that you know, they'll react much more quickly in
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: the marketplace buying or dumping shares.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: And as far as things going wrong, I guess this
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: would be the best possible thing because nothing was actually injured,
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Nothing blew up.
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: No right, No one was on this rocket.
• 55:50
  Speaker 8: It was only going to do It was a test
• 55:52
  Speaker 8: of the rocket that were going to deploy some more
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: Starlink satellites, a new version of those. But really they
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: were trying to test the rocket.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: So the fact that this.
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: Didn't work isn't the worst thing in the world. You know,
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: Typically there are all these engines on the rocket because
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: they're designed just for the fact that, well if some
• 56:08
  Speaker 8: of them failed, no big deal. Well some of them failed, well,
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: it was still at the pad. So that's why they said,
• 56:14
  Speaker 8: all right, let's the computer said, let's stop and hit
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: the reset button on this whole mission. If this were
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: say thirty seconds into the mission, and four or five
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: engines went out, the rocket likely still has enough thrust
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: in order to continue. It's objective. Now, when you start
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: going over six, seven, eight, nine engines that don't work,
• 56:32
  Speaker 8: you might start having some problems, but there is so
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: much redundancy in the system that that's what this is
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: designed to do.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: I understand. The engines are called the Raptors. These are
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: by far the biggest ones we've ever had.
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: Well, the Raptor engines, there are thirty.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Three of them.
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: I think on this on this version of starship. So
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: what they do is these are also the engines that
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: they'll use on the smaller rockets. What he does is
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: he uses lots of engines rather than developing bigger and
• 56:57
  Speaker 8: bigger ones on other kinds of rockets that SpaceX will launch.
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: So his idea is, you know, rather than design a
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: new engine, just stick a second one on it, and
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: you know, there you go. You have automatically twice the thrust.
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: Why am I redesigning the wheel here? Just use another
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: just to strap another one to it.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: And so any do we have a timeline as to
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: when the next test will be?
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe next week.
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: Again, we're just going off a post that Elon had
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: on X. It's all going to depend on why the
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: engines didn't fire. If it's something like, oh, you know,
• 57:28
  Speaker 8: the computer sensor read something that's different, they might be
• 57:31
  Speaker 8: able to do a quick turnaround. If it's something more significant,
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: we'd have to go inside the rocket to go fix it.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: That's much more of a problem. All right. Well, Rory O'Neil,
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: thank you for keeping us up the data on this.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: I'd said, very disappointing. I was hoping for big news
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: when I woke up this morning.
• 57:46
  Speaker 8: Well, especially because it happened on the anniversary of launching
• 57:48
  Speaker 8: to the Moon with Apollo eleven, so I think they
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: were trying to do it on the same days that
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: historic flight.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: To the Moon and came up short. All right, well,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll keep us up the speed next week
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: if we get another launch.
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: Thanks, we'll talk to you then.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: You got it. Have a great day, roy O'Neil. Getting
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: your day started with South Carolina's Morning news.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is South
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Carolina's Morning News on one O three point five FM,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: five sixty AM WVOC, and ninety four to three WSC.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: Now, Kelly Nash.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: We are in the middle of like you know, everybody's
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: on summer vacation, you know, between the last couple of
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: weeks and moving forward until early mid August. Paul's Island
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: has to be one of the favorite places for South
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Carolinians to go.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kelly, that's a beautiful location, isn't it that relaxing?
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: I love it. I've been down there several times. I
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: love it. The pastor at Pauley's Island Christian Academy trying
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: to explain I guess Thursday or excuse me, Wednesday night.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: What happened? How did they have a seventy year old
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: registered sex offender volunteer at the church's school in Paul's Island?
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: What yes?
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: And this is to me it's unbelievable. The man was
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: convicted in twenty twenty three of third degree sexual exploitation
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: of a minor. Church leaders say they were aware of
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: his conviction but believed he was following the conditions of
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: his probation while under what they called strict supervision. The
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: I guess. The senior pastor, a guy named Don Williams,
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: had a big meeting to explain to his trust is earned,
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: especially in moments like this. Our goal tonight is to
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: tell you how we got here and explain what actions
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: have already been taken. Well, I know one of the
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: actions was that guy was arrested because he was in
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: violation his probation, not supposed to be anywhere near kids.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: But two, you have already violated the trust if you
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: know you have a registered sexophone. Okay, you want to
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: work with the kids. Let me see what you what's
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: going on with your criminal record? Oh, you were convicted
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: literally three years ago of sexual exploitation of a minor.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Here's some free advice to all schools and churches if
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: anyone has that conviction, even if it was thirty years ago.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: Just no, it's a hard no that you can't. As
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: one of the people said in the meeting, if my
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: kids aren't a lottery ticket, I don't feel like you
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: should just be playing. Well. We hope that nothing happens
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: with these kids. You got to do everything possible to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: protect the kids.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: No doubt. And I'm surprised that who knew besides this
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: that you mentioned the name Don Williams. Who knew besides
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: this person of his criminal record?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: They said it was disclosed on his application to be
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: a volunteer.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: And of course I would assume that a school or
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: just about anybody does a background check on you. If
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: you're getting a job, you have to. So they knew
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: he wasn't hiding it. And apparently one of the kids,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: one of this person's victims, starts art alerting parents, Hey,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: I heard he's working at the school where your kid goes.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: And then they did a little digging of their own
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: and said, what, we have a convicted sex offender in
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Pauli's Island who targets children volunteering at the church school.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: So Kelly a kid is the one who essentially let
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: the parents know after the church the government of the
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: church simply said, yeah, let's let him do this.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: I'm reading this from count on two dot com. Church
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: leaders said they were aware of Perry's conviction but believed
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: he was following the conditions of his probation while under
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: what they call strict supervision parents vocally Christian church leadership.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: I bet they did.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: I bet they did. I mean yeah, I mean, you
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: expect the church to give second chances, and we all
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: forgive sins, but there's had to have been a different
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: place for him to volunteer if they're going to use it.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of those things that's like, you know,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: people talk about forgiveness and second chances, and you and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I Christopher both believe in the same thing that yes,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: people should be forgiven and people should be given second chances,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: but not in what is there I'll call it sinn arena.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: If you're somebody like if you if you're the guy
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: who was caught, you know, fudging his taxes and you
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: did some time for white collar crime, we're not going
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: to make you the accountant for the company.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: No, you can.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: You can work here, you can do other things possibly,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: but you're not going to be in charge of the money.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: If your problem is you've molested children, we're never letting
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: you near children again. That is a full stop for me.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: I agree. And I'm surprised the church, you know, as
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: forgiving as they can be, I'm surprised the church made
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: this mistake.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: I'm you know, I would have. I wish they had
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: some video from that church meeting. I'd like to see
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: how the parents, because it says that the parents were
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: very vocal against him. The room erupted as Williams explained
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: why teachers or parents were not informed of Perry's crime.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: So the teachers didn't even know.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Wow, Kelly, you and I are both parents, We certainly
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: understand those feelings.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. There's nothing more precious to a parent
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: than their child, and if you are doing anything to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: endanger our children, they are going to explode. One of
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: the parents was overheard saying in the meeting, quote this
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: place needs to be burned to the ground. That's how
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: they feel. And I, you know, I certainly wouldn't sanction
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: that behavior, but I can understand the emotions. But anyway,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: that's happening in Pauley's Island. We'll be covering more of
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: South Carolina's morning news. I hope a lot more happier
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: news to get to as we move on. Thanks for
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: starting your day with Christopher Thompson and myself, Kelly Nash
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: and South Carolina's Morning News.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC Columbia and
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: Now, Kelly Nash.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: Thanks for starting your day with us, and we mentioned
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: in the last hour I think about the main special
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: primary and how they are removing what they call unenrolled
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: but we would call them non declared voters, meaning they
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: didn't register for a party. We can't register for a
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: party currently in South Carolina and Maine you can, but
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: they just opened up the process in twenty twenty four,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: so people who are not affiliated with a party still
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity to be a part of the nomination process. However,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: with Graham Platner leaving the race, they're going to have
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: a special primary. But according to the main Democrat Party,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: who put out a press release on this they are
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: going to not allow non party affiliated voters to be
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: a part of this process. Last night, the people who
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: want to be the new nominee had a debate, and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: I was a little surprised because again, the Democrats are
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: controlling this process pretty closely as to who's going to
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: be in there. So if you were on the stage,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: you're somebody that the Democrat Party has decided is okay,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: you're going to be eligible. And so they're hand picking people.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: So the people that they've picked are all basically politicians,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: but because they also have to virtue signal, they had
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: a candidate named Ashley Webb. Ashley Webb is asked the question, Well,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: I'll let the reporter ask the question and you'll hear
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: the response. Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: serve in the US Senate?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: Oh, I ran for office several times, didn't win, but
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: they didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: I write my own books, and then I suppose my
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: transparent and see, I wouldn't lie to the people, and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: Like okay, so Ashley is qualified to be the new
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: senator because they're a songwriter and write their own books.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Oh I noticed you used today, Kelly Well.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Ashley also is clearly a man who towers over everybody
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: at that podium.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Ashley has a deeper voice than I do.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Ashley is dressed in a flowing gown with running sneakers,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: and I do appreciate the I wouldn't deceive people. I
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: believe you have deceived yourself, Ashley. The deception is never
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: ending in Ashley's world. But this is again the Democrats
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: picked Ashley Webb to put on the stage with their
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: other candidates. This is not like you and I can
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: get up there, Christopher, even the people, because again there
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: was eight people allowed on stage. Thirteen have declared their
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: candidacy and paid the fees, so they didn't allow everybody
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: on stage. But the main Democrats want the far left
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: wing of the party to know that they're fighting for
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: transgender rights. Although Ashley Webb has no chance of winning again,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: it's only the party people, and it's the party people
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: who become this six hundred and one delegates. They're the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: ones who get to vote on July twenty fifth to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: pick the nominee the general voters in the whole main process,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: you've been removed as well, which is why they're so upset.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: And I guess Ashley is supposed to come the radical
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: left by being on stage.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Kelly, let's recap right. You started by choosing by getting
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: behind someone who everyone knew, I mean, had so many
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: skeletons in his closet and Graham Platner that you should
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: have never even gotten him that far to the nomination process.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Then you finally realize your mistake, and in backtracking it
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: is shoveling the dirt over Platner's campaign as quickly as
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: you can, you come up with this collection of fools.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a great way of recapping at Christopher and yes,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: Graham Platner. The only reason they realized their mistakes is
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: because he was pulling behind Susan Collins, which I don't believe.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: I might you could check me on this one. I
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: don't think Susan Collins has ever been ahead in any
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: polls in Maine. Ever, she usually outperforms polls by about
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: six to ten percent. So it's almost like you know,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: with the Trump polls that people are embarrassed to say
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: they're supporting Trump or whatever, and then they go and
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: they vote for them. Same thing in Maine with Susan Collins,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: and they were so hell bent on replacing her with
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: a Nazi because of what she actually voted to impeach
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: the president. She votes against just about everything that Trump wants.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: There would be very virtually little difference between Susan Collins
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: and Graham Platner other than the you know, obvious microphone moments.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: But anyway, that's what's happening in Maine. I'm glad I
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: don't live in Maine, aren't we glad we live in
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. Everybody, you have thoughts on that or other stories,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: let us know on the talkback feature off the iHeartRadio
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: app on South Carolina's morning news from.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: The Midlands to the low Country.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: four to three WSC. Now Here's Kelly Nash.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: The word flock camera is becoming a very hot topic.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: South Carolina's General Assembly had a bill that they were
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: voting on which would have allowed our Department of Transportation
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: to use these flock cameras on our highway systems it
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: installed has not been passed as of yet. However, if
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: you're looking at flock cameras in South Carolina, the Charleston
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: area currently has ninety six, the Columbia area has one
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: hundred and ninety one, the upstate in the Greenville area
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty three. So the police monitoring of
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: license plates is taking off now. The town of Irmo
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: last night had meetings. They're looking to go from ten
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: flock cameras to thirty three next year. Christopher, any thoughts
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: on the idea of the extra cameras, any concerns about.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Your privacy, privacy, Kelly, I mean feeling with all the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: technology that's installed in those cars and the fact that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: we usually have our phones with us, people know where
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: we are. You're not hiding from anyone unless you go
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: completely off the grid and get a car that was
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: made probably before nineteen ninety five or ninety six, you know,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: when all this technology was installed that allowed them to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: track you and know when you had an accident, the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: whole on Star phenomenon. I mean, i'd I think these
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd like to hope these cameras are only
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: being used to capture criminals and find stolen cars.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: I'm reading from deflocksc dot org.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, what is their argument, Kelly against Well, what.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Part of it is your data leaves the country immediately.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: So every photo, every time your car goes through an
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: area with a Flock camera, it does take a photo.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: They're not waiting for suspicion or anything that they just
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: boop got you. So now we got your license plate,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: we got who's in the vehicle, we already can see
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: is it a male and a female, a kid in
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: the backseat, whatever, And then immediately Flock runs a national network.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: Police from other states can search it, Federal agencies can
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: Two researchers have found three separate ways federal agents are
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: looking at the camera data, including a backdoor that lets
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: outside agencies search without anyone knowing. Flock CEO denies that
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: the federal contracts camera in July of twenty twenty five,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: but then admitted it three weeks later. Every drive you've
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: ever taken in there is available to not only all
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: federal agencies, but international agencies as well, and the local
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: police can't stop it. No South Carolina city or county
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: has passed any oversight on it. The cameras that go
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: up are run by flock and they have your info.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: But Kelly, if I'm not doing anything wrong, then why
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: am I concerned? I mean, Google knows where I'm going
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: all the time. Your phone is recording constantly your location.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: You know the Live three sixty if you keep in
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: touch with family that way, and we've got multiple location
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: sharing devices already. Honest, why do I care if the
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: police know where I'm going? As long as I'm not
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: going to make a drug deal or kill someone.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, Christopher, that's an interesting point. I remember
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: one of those memes that came out years ago, and
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: I laughed, and I still think about it and laugh.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: It was like people of the nineteen sixties and that
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: the girls like talking on the telephone and she goes, h,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: I should get off in case the government's listening now,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: And then it was like people of the twenty tens. Hey, Google,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: you got a good recipe for me. So yes, to
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: your point, privacy issues seem to have just been we
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: just surrendered that now, but maybe some people are uncomfortable
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: with it. I'd be interested in hearing if you guys
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: have concerns about this idea that it's not run by
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: the state, it's run by a company. A private company
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: would then have access to all your data. But to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: Christopher's point, so does Verizon or AT and T or
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: whoever you're using as your cellular service. It at least
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: knows where you're at. Sure they know what I'm saying, too,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: because I'll say something to my wife and next thing
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm getting ads for whatever that stupid thing
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: was that I was just talking about. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard a Luther Vandross song in like ten years.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: Oh Luther Vandraws songs being recommended suddenly. Anyway, what are
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: your thoughts? Use the talk back feature. You can plug
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: in that way and let us know. It's South Carolina's Morning.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: News, live from the state Capitol. This is South Carolina's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: I'm reading a story in the paper, this is the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: state newspaper, talking about the difference between insurance premiums for
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: people in the Midlands as opposed to people in the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: low Country. And I had no idea that Charleston County
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: is ranked as the tenth most risky place to ensure
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: in America. This is according to Insurify. They went through
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: it's like three thousand counties and Charleston came in a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: like number nine, which is incredible. But they also point
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: out because the home prices in Charleston are lower than
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: in some of these other risky places, we're seventy fourth
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: nationally on the premium costs. And one of the things
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: that they're talking about is like for those of us
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: in the Midlands who like to invest in the Low
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: Country because Beaufort or Charleston beautiful, it's a great idea.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: People would say, get a second home down there, use
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: it for rental during the off season or whatever.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Kelly, those people obviously do not work in radio. No, no,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: you and I aren't doing that. Yeah, no, no, no.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: People with real money do that. But they were saying
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: that one of the things that you often don't understand
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: is how much money it's going to cost to ensure
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: those homes. And then it goes on to talk about
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: the resale exposure for the people who live in Charleston
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: County is the premium I'm just reading this from the state.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: As premiums rise in the carrier availability titans, the buyer
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: pools narrow, properties require force placed coverage or state backed
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: wind pools carry a discount at resale that often owners
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: off and underestimate until they list. You should meet with
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: a insurance and or real estate advisor. I was, you know,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: just got a new buddy down there in Charleston, Matt O'Neil.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: I would highly recommend talking to him. That guy knows
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: everything there is to know about these things. I'm sure
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: he's completely plugged in on this. But the idea that
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: your insurance is about double what we're paying here in
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: the Midlands. We're just one hundred miles away. We live
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: in the same state, but everything is completely different in
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: Charleston County when it comes to insurance because you're now
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: the tenth again, one hundred would be the most riskiest.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: Fifty is the median in Charleston County right now is
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: ninety eight point nine risk score.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm guessing, Kelly, that of every town or city
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: that's on that list is probably a coastal one, because
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: that's right, Yes.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all it's on the Gulf, and it's up
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: and down the Eastern Seaboard. It's Long Island, it's that
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: sort of thing, and it's wherever the hurricanes are going to.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: Hit first basically, or flooding. Yeah, we're flooding.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: That's the you know what good point, Christopher, that is Charleston,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: that's New Orleans. That's that vibe kind of built at
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: or below sea level, that that compounds the problem. But hoof,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: my heart goes out to you. I lived in Charleston
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: twenty years ago, so I've forgotten. I don't think. I
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: don't even know that we were getting whacked that hard
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: on the insurance costs then, but that is certainly not
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: the case today. So anyway, any thoughts on insurance premiums
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: or anything like that, let us know, Or if you
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: have just other stories that you want to talk about,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll get more back into the Trump speech. We've
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: got still other stuff to cover. It's South Carolina's Morning News.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's Morning News with Kelly Nash.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: So the first hour of the show, the six am hour,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: we spent most of that kind of recapping going over
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's speech from last night. If you missed any
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: of that and you want or you want to rehear
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: it again because it was so insightful what Christopher Thompson
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: and I provided, you have the ability now thanks to
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Christopher's incredible efforts to listen to our podcast. So Christopher,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: they go to the iHeartRadio app.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Sure, just go to the iHeartRadio app and you can
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: search South Carolina's Morning News and you'll find a rewind
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: of the last few episodes, including today about thirty minutes
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: after we get off the air.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: And you can then also on the iHeartRadio app, you
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: can preset that like an old school radio station, make
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: it one of your favorites. And so every morning or
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: whenever you want, you can just go and listen to
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: it there. But for those of you who missed it,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: basically it was a twenty minute Donald Trump's speech, but
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: twenty to twenty five minutes long, basically saying, go to
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: White House dot gov see all the documentation that we
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: have proving that there's election inaccuracies, that the Chinese are
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: putting together all kinds of things. And then this is
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: how he basically wraps it up.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: But most importantly, addressing this crisis of election security, demands
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: that Congress must pass the Save America Act. How easy
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: is that to do unless you want a cheat. This
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: landmark bill requires that all voters must show photo voter ID.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: All voters must provide proof of citizenship. No mail in ballance,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel if you're
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: going away on business or vacation. To all Americans, I
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, call your
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: representatives and the House and Senate and demand that they
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: pass the Save America Act without delay.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: And again, Lindsey Graham's apparently final conversation with Donald Trump
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: said he had had the votes. I don't know how
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham got him, but John Thune doesn't. But I
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: would love to see them take this back up and
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: see if we can. I heard what's his name yesterday
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: from North Carolina, Don Tillis, Tom Tillis, Thank you, Christopher.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: He is adamant. He refuses to pass it. He has
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: not yet given me a reason other than it wouldn't
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: be in effect for this midterm. I haven't heard any
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: other reasons that he's against it.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure why he's against it. But even if
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: you have trouble with issue, I know some people have issues,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: for example, Kelly, with mail balloting. Some people think that
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: we need to have mail in balloting. Okay, if that's
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: the case, slim that bill down. At least put voter
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: ID in front of the Senate. You have to show
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: an ID in order to vote. Well, how could that
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: be controversial?
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: Well, Trump says that the mail in ballots is the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: most obvious way for fraud, so that's one of his
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: sticking points.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: And yet he votes by mail in ballot.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: Well, but like you said, if you're going on vacation stuff,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: there's ways that we can make it available to you.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: But it's just also being used very badly. But anyway,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: I and everybody else wants to see the same America
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: Act passed, except apparently a few Republicans and the entire
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: Democrat Party.
