Speaker 1: This is South Carolina's morning news on one O three
0:03
Speaker 1: point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC Columbia and
0:09
Speaker 1: ninety four to three WSC Charleston.
0:12
Speaker 2: Now, Kelly Nash.
0:14
Speaker 3: So much to get to this morning. We just heard
0:17
Speaker 3: about the lawsuit being brought by Danny Ford or.
0:20
Speaker 4: We've been.
0:22
Speaker 5: You know.
0:23
Speaker 4: Let me just start right here.
0:24
Speaker 3: This is yesterday at the South Carolina State House and
0:29
Speaker 3: the former Republican sister senator lately in the news as
0:34
Speaker 3: one of the best friends of Darlene Graham. Katrina Sheely,
0:38
Speaker 3: our dem candidate for governor of South Carolina, got Jamaine just.
0:47
Speaker 4: So there you have it.
0:48
Speaker 3: Katrina Sheely, I guess has completely gone over to the
0:51
Speaker 3: other side and.
0:51
Speaker 4: Couldn't were this hour.
0:53
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what she said our hour Democrat candidate for
0:57
Speaker 3: governor Jermaine Johnson. She was there to introduced Jermaine Johnson
1:01
Speaker 3: and his new running mate.
1:04
Speaker 4: And the running mate, by the way, is who is
1:06
Speaker 4: this guy again?
1:07
Speaker 3: I'm trying to He's never one office, although he did
1:10
Speaker 3: try to win once. His name, his last name is
1:13
Speaker 3: like Scardon.
1:14
Speaker 6: More of a behind the scenes guy on the Democrat side.
1:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, he works at a nonprofit and nothing to minimize nonprofits.
1:23
Speaker 3: But you know the fact that Johnson says he'll put
1:26
Speaker 3: him in charge of helping businesses here in South Carolina. Again,
1:32
Speaker 3: the non profit and businesses usually are two different things.
1:37
Speaker 3: But I don't think this is a very serious candidacy
1:39
Speaker 3: at all. Jermaine Johnson and some guy we've never heard of,
1:44
Speaker 3: and their big selling point to this South Carolina voter
1:49
Speaker 3: is that we are millennials.
1:53
Speaker 4: That's it.
1:54
Speaker 3: We're young, and so you should elect us because we're
1:58
Speaker 3: young and we have no experience anything that would be
2:01
Speaker 3: of importance as the governor or lieutenant governor. But we're
2:04
Speaker 3: gonna take the guy who's never been in business and
2:06
Speaker 3: make him the head of all the businesses for South Carolina.
2:08
Speaker 4: That ought to help. I mean, at least right now,
2:10
Speaker 4: you've got.
2:10
Speaker 3: A lieutenant governor who has taken a business and turned
2:13
Speaker 3: it into a multimillion dollar achievement. This guy, his I
2:17
Speaker 3: guess his big claim is his wife is on the
2:20
Speaker 3: like Charleston County Council or something city council. I'm sorry,
2:24
Speaker 3: Charleston City council. Leslie is on the Charleston City Council.
2:27
Speaker 3: So I don't think this is a very serious candidate.
2:31
Speaker 3: But to the bigger point, is Katrina Sheeley friend of
2:38
Speaker 3: miss Graham nardone?
2:40
Speaker 4: Is she right now trying to sync that candidacy.
2:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's That's Probably the biggest news that came out
2:47
Speaker 6: of that big announcement yesterday is the fact that, you know,
2:50
Speaker 6: probably Darline Graham's thinking, all right, Katrina, let's hold it
2:53
Speaker 6: down a little bit. I've got to I've got a
2:55
Speaker 6: Senate race to worry about, and here she is introducing
2:58
Speaker 6: the Democrat candidate for governor.
3:01
Speaker 4: It was jaw.
3:02
Speaker 3: Dropping to me when I saw that video making its
3:05
Speaker 3: way across social media late yesterday afternoon. I I don't
3:10
Speaker 3: know what. Why would he want her? Why would she
3:14
Speaker 3: want to be with him?
3:15
Speaker 4: Why? I don't It's just really it boggles the mind.
3:21
Speaker 6: Well, I understand why he would want her. I mean,
3:23
Speaker 6: she broadens his base. She well, yeah, I would think so.
3:27
Speaker 6: I mean, Katrina Sheely's well known, at least in the Midlands,
3:30
Speaker 6: and if it gives him an inroad with some mainstream
3:34
Speaker 6: Republicans who were unhappy with their ticket, more power to
3:37
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's all he has to work with
3:39
Speaker 6: right now.
3:42
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm it's hard to kind of navigate the Democrat
3:46
Speaker 3: politics right now. But Carrie Seller's looked like a moron
3:50
Speaker 3: last night on CNN. I wish I could get the
3:52
Speaker 3: clip of that he was talking about he didn't know
3:54
Speaker 3: what the word maoism meant.
3:56
Speaker 4: But that's where we're at.
3:58
Speaker 3: So if you are a Republican or ever have been
4:02
Speaker 3: a Republican, you have been. It's almost like a wild animal.
4:06
Speaker 3: Once you've been tainted by human hands, they don't want
4:09
Speaker 3: you back, right, And so as somebody who's ever voted
4:12
Speaker 3: for anything Republican, the Democrats, the hardcore ones will point
4:16
Speaker 3: out that you're a Nazi. Even though you're a reformed Nazi,
4:20
Speaker 3: you're still a Nazi. You voted for a tax cut
4:23
Speaker 3: when you should have been voting for tax increases to
4:25
Speaker 3: help more of the poor and disadvantage who your white
4:29
Speaker 3: supremacy has put in this situation, that sort of mentality. So,
4:34
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess she can try to you know,
4:36
Speaker 3: here she is hugging and kissing him on stage or
4:38
Speaker 3: what that's not stage, but you know what I'm talking
4:40
Speaker 3: about on the steps of the state House, that they
4:43
Speaker 3: can feel like they have a Kumbaya moment, but the
4:46
Speaker 3: hardcore left, which is the energy in the Democrat Party,
4:50
Speaker 3: will never ever accept Katrina Shilely.
4:52
Speaker 6: Probably not. But as you've pointed out before, I mean
4:55
Speaker 6: that the Republicans have a clear majority in this state,
4:58
Speaker 6: and the only winning formula for Jermaine Johnson and his
5:02
Speaker 6: ticket is to reach across the aisle and grab some
5:05
Speaker 6: of the Republicans who may be disenfranchised or disenchanted with
5:09
Speaker 6: their party.
5:09
Speaker 3: Right now, well, if he was hoping this was going
5:12
Speaker 3: to help the fundraise, I mean it's already rippling across
5:16
Speaker 3: the country.
5:17
Speaker 4: He's out, you know what I'm saying.
5:19
Speaker 3: The Democrat people are like, we're not supporting this. This
5:22
Speaker 3: is chaos in South Carolina. And you got a great candidate,
5:25
Speaker 3: Alan Wilson. So it's not like they're running against some
5:27
Speaker 3: sort of far right extremist, you know what I'm saying.
5:30
Speaker 3: It's not like Alan Wilson is insane or something. It's
5:35
Speaker 3: not like we got Nancy Mace up here.
5:36
Speaker 6: I still think the bigger impact is what, how are
5:40
Speaker 6: people who are thinking about voting for Darlene Graham going
5:43
Speaker 6: to perceive this, because again, we know so little about her.
5:47
Speaker 6: She did release an ad yesterday, a video talking about
5:51
Speaker 6: how what she wants, and it gave a few talking
5:55
Speaker 6: points that added to her campaign. But other than that,
5:58
Speaker 6: we know nothing about her. Other than the fact that
6:00
Speaker 6: she supported Katrina Sheely a few years ago.
6:03
Speaker 3: We do know that, and we got the breaking news
6:06
Speaker 3: yesterday that, speaking of Alan Wilson, he's hosting that event
6:09
Speaker 3: tomorrow at River Bluff High School. They got all nine
6:14
Speaker 3: of the people who are running for the Senate to
6:17
Speaker 3: be there tomorrow at Riverbluff, including Darlene Graham. So true,
6:20
Speaker 3: that will be I guess the first time we actually
6:22
Speaker 3: get to hear her answer legitimate questions.
6:25
Speaker 4: So that's going to be exciting.
6:27
Speaker 3: At eleven thirty tomorrow morning, I plan on being there
6:29
Speaker 3: river Bluff High School and waiting. I think tickets are free,
6:32
Speaker 3: so just come on down if you want to see
6:34
Speaker 3: how that whole thing plays out. So all right, we're off.
6:36
Speaker 6: But that's a forum, that's not a debate, No.
6:39
Speaker 3: It's exactly, but you're still going to have to answer
6:40
Speaker 3: the questions. True, So be interesting to see what kind
6:44
Speaker 3: of questions because I think Alan is going to write
6:46
Speaker 3: some of them himself, but there's also going to be
6:48
Speaker 3: some written from the students who were studying politics that
6:51
Speaker 3: that they have a special I Guess class on politics,
6:55
Speaker 3: and so some of those people will be writing them,
6:56
Speaker 3: and they're going to be taking some questions from people
6:58
Speaker 3: in the audience. I don't think you're allowed to write
7:00
Speaker 3: questions that are just specifically for one candidate or another,
7:04
Speaker 3: but like, well, will somebody ask the question what is
7:08
Speaker 3: the definition of a rhino? And then we'll see how
7:10
Speaker 3: that plays out. Well, it's gonna be a fun day,
7:13
Speaker 3: I know that for sure. All Right, we're off and running.
7:15

Speaker 3: yet clear What peugh's new position will entail or how
8:45
Speaker 3: it will interact with his seat on The Richland County.
8:47
Speaker 3: Council but he will not be required to abstain from
8:52
Speaker 3: future votes that Involve Scout. Motors how is that not
8:56
Speaker 3: a conflict of? Interest and with that we could just,
9:02
Speaker 3: SAY i, mean this is the problem with. Politics this
9:06
Speaker 3: is so. INSANE i, mean If I'm Scout, motors of
9:11

Speaker 3: then go ahead and vote on whether or NOT i
9:18
Speaker 3: get more tax. Breaks this is insanity what's happening. Here
9:23
Speaker 3: AND i hope that the people Of Richland COUNTY i am,
9:27
Speaker 3: one will rise up in.
9:29
Speaker 4: Opposition obviously just.
9:31
Speaker 3: Vocally i'm not talking about anything else other than just
9:35
Speaker 3: being very vocal in your opposition to. This but this
9:38
Speaker 3: is sheer insanity that the vice chair for The Richland
9:42
Speaker 3: County council is now employed, by let's just be, honest
9:46
Speaker 3: a very controversial company in the sense that how many
9:49
Speaker 3: tax breaks did they? Get what's going how many more
9:52
Speaker 3: dollars do taxpayers need to front to make sure that
9:55
Speaker 3: this deal continues to?
9:56

10:00
Speaker 6: Richland county Or, yeah they just wound up paying what
10:03
Speaker 6: a one million dollar fine for all the environmental mess
10:08
Speaker 6: that was made when they were preparing or preparing The
10:10
Speaker 6: Scout motors site for. Construction and THEN i think the
10:14
Speaker 6: state wound up paying some of that fine For Richland.
10:17
Speaker 4: County oh did? THEY i think?
10:19
Speaker 6: SO i think part of that money that The State
10:22
Speaker 6: house is still arguing about for, OVERRUNS i think part
10:25
Speaker 6: of that, money or at least they reduced the fine
10:28
Speaker 6: That Richland county was going to wind up Paying.
10:32
Speaker 3: Scout Motor, now this is From Palmetto State watch last. Month,
10:38

Speaker 3: ten oh On july fourteenth to send a letter of
10:59
Speaker 3: support to The department Of Commerce Secretary, lutnick With vice
11:02
Speaker 3: Chair derek pew abstaining on that vote because his quote
11:06
Speaker 3: parent company may receive benefits from the support, Letter so
11:10
Speaker 3: in that instance he did recuse. Himself at that, time
11:14
Speaker 3: nobody knew what he was talking. About the parent. Company
11:17
Speaker 3: what parent company are you, referencing? Sir now we know
11:21
Speaker 3: as of yesterday that his new employer Is Scout. Motors

13:47
Speaker 5: A senate that is, dysfunctional A senate that is not,
13:51
Speaker 5: working A senate that is not listening to the people
13:53
Speaker 5: that it. Represents AND i want to be part of
13:55
Speaker 5: a new generation of conservative. Leadership it goes to The.
13:59
Speaker 5: Senate the single, mission get The senate to, work be
14:02
Speaker 5: aligned With President, trump not just cast the right, votes
14:06
Speaker 5: but really work to deliver generational change for The american.
14:11
Speaker 5: People the people talk about the price of, gas they
14:14
Speaker 5: talk about how much it costs to buy a.
14:17
Speaker 2: House government is the.
14:18
Speaker 5: Problem government is not the. Solution government is the. Problem
14:21
Speaker 5: and we've had some good, success but a lot of
14:24
Speaker 5: bills that we have worked on and passed have gone
14:26
Speaker 5: to The senate to. Die, look The White house needs
14:29
Speaker 5: allies in The. Senate they don't have. Enough Senator graham's unfortunate,
14:33
Speaker 5: Passing trump lost a good ally in The. Senate and
14:36
Speaker 5: it wasn't somebody who just voted the right. Way lindsay
14:39
Speaker 5: was part of the ecosystem of really helping to drive
14:43
Speaker 5: The trump. Agenda And so what frustrates me IN, dc
14:47
Speaker 5: AND i think what frustrates people your, listeners is that
14:51
Speaker 5: people go up TO dc and, yeah sure they might
14:52
Speaker 5: vote the right, Way yeah sure they might complain ON,
14:55
Speaker 5: tv but they're not actually doing anything other than. That
14:58
Speaker 5: i'm not running for The senate seat to be part the.
15:00
Speaker 5: FURNITURE i want to be part of the.
15:02
Speaker 3: Solution talking With Russell, frye who is running For senate right,
15:06
Speaker 3: now you Mentioned Senator, graham and currently if we were
15:09
Speaker 3: to say the Name Senator, GRAHAM i guess we would
15:11
Speaker 3: be referring To Darlene at this, POINT a lot of
15:14
Speaker 3: people looked At Donald trump's a weekend tweet where he
15:18
Speaker 3: was basically encouraging her to run as a preemptive tweet
15:22
Speaker 3: to try to keep other people out of the. Race
15:25
Speaker 3: you came back pretty strongly On. Monday did you look
15:28
Speaker 3: at That trump tweet as a way of trying to
15:30
Speaker 3: keep you and others?
15:31
Speaker 5: Out i'm running for the people at the. State everyone
15:33
Speaker 5: knows of everyone. Running we've stood with the. President we
15:37
Speaker 5: endorsed the. President we were part of his original leadership
15:39
Speaker 5: team when nobody else really in this field was with the.
15:42
Speaker 5: President we. Were you, know he's very high on me.
15:45
Speaker 5: TOO i MEAN i get certainly get shout out from him.
15:47
Speaker 5: Regularly we might.
15:48
Speaker 3: Be in a very unique position where in two races
15:52
Speaker 3: in a, row if you're fortunate enough to get into
15:54
Speaker 3: a runoff Against Darlene. Graham trump may be in the
15:58
Speaker 3: double endorsement business again In South.
16:00
Speaker 4: CAROLINA i always Loved. Russell these are my two. Favorites
16:04
Speaker 4: i've always wanted him to.
16:05
Speaker 5: WIN i don't know what the what The president will.
16:07
Speaker 5: Do WHAT i do know that in his heart is
16:10
Speaker 5: That i've got a great relationship with, him in a
16:12
Speaker 5: friendship with, him and so Did Lindsay. Graham and regardless
16:17
Speaker 5: of how this, unfolds we're going to be an ally
16:19
Speaker 5: with The. President we've got this insane energy THAT i
16:22
Speaker 5: think that The senate really. NEEDS i, mean you, KNOW
16:25
Speaker 5: i look at The senate and go, gosh, Like i'm
16:27
Speaker 5: already going to save the taxpayer's. Money because when you
16:30
Speaker 5: get sworn into The, senate you get YOUR id card
16:32
Speaker 5: to vote on The senate, floor you get a license
16:34
Speaker 5: plate if you got a, car and The senate's so
16:37
Speaker 5: old that they give you a government issued. Walker i'm
16:39
Speaker 5: already saving the tax payers.

Speaker 6: been records from The South Carolina commission on The blind
19:10
Speaker 6: where she, serves where she's using the Name Darlene, graham
19:14
Speaker 6: so apparently and at least in her business, capacities she
19:18
Speaker 6: uses that.
19:19
Speaker 4: Name, YEAH i, mean so that's the.
19:23
Speaker 3: NAME i, MEAN i could go and Say Darlene Graham.
19:26
Speaker 3: NORDON i don't know why people would would care as.
19:29
Speaker 3: Much we are getting a lot of pushback on. That
19:31
Speaker 3: by the, WAY a lot of people want us to
19:33
Speaker 3: call Her Darlene Graham nordon or don't even put in The,
19:36
Speaker 3: graham just call Her darlene.
19:38
Speaker 4: Nordone but, again.

19:43
Speaker 3: Don't AND i don't know what her legal name.
19:45

Speaker 3: Know some people get married and they don't take their
19:47
Speaker 3: husband's last. NAME i don't know if she ever officially took.
19:50
Speaker 3: It maybe that'll be one of the questions Asked tomorrow,
19:53
Speaker 3: morning eleven, THIRTY I On wilson will be hosting the
19:56
Speaker 3: what are they calling, them The senate, stumps and the
19:59
Speaker 3: first one is at the The River Bluff High school tomorrow,
20:01
Speaker 3: morning and she'll be, there so that might be one
20:04
Speaker 3: of the. Questions but although again they're not going to ask,
20:06
Speaker 3: questions maybe they'd have to ask the question of the,
20:09
Speaker 3: candidates what is your legal?
20:10
Speaker 4: Name and then they would all have to.
20:13
Speaker 3: Answer by the, way SO i think his name Is,
20:15
Speaker 3: Ironically ralph has sent me an EMAIL i THINK i left.
20:18
Speaker 3: Off Mark sandford is one of the other people that
20:20
Speaker 3: we already spoke to as. Well, no you mentioned him, First, oh,
20:22
Speaker 3: okay Well ralph missed, it, Ironically, ralph because we have
20:26
Speaker 3: Had Ralph norman, On Mark, Sandford Mark, Sanchez Russell. FRYE
20:31
Speaker 3: i think those are all the ones that we've had
20:32
Speaker 3: on the candidates so. Far and by the, way The
20:35
Speaker 3: Russell frye interview that we just played on the air
20:37
Speaker 3: is only like not even four. Minutes we went for
20:40
Speaker 3: about sixteen, minutes so he does expand on some of
20:42
Speaker 3: his positions if you're, Interested and that's true of every
20:46
Speaker 3: one of those candidates that we talked. To we're going
20:48
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes or so with each one of. Them we
20:50
Speaker 3: can only play a snippet on the air to give
20:52
Speaker 3: you a little taste of. It if you want more of,
20:55
Speaker 3: it you'd have to go look for The national. Briefing
20:57
Speaker 3: that's like my Name Nash National briefing on The iHeartRadio.
21:03
Speaker 3: App but, YEAH i, mean maybe we should put up
21:06
Speaker 3: a poll, Question, christopher do we all do you wants
21:09
Speaker 3: to call Her Darlene graham Or Darley nordon Or Darlene
21:11
Speaker 3: Graham nordon Or Darlene Nordon.
21:14
Speaker 6: Graham, well we can't choose her legal. Name it's it's
21:18
Speaker 6: you know, what whatever's. Filed, YEAH i, MEAN i understand
21:23
Speaker 6: the protest people are saying, she's you, know trading off
21:26
Speaker 6: her brother's name at this, point BUT i think that's
21:29
Speaker 6: the name she's been. USING i, also AND i, Also
21:32
Speaker 6: i'm SORRY i did Interrupt, kelly BUT i also think
21:35
Speaker 6: people are aware of who she. Is i'm not sure
21:37
Speaker 6: she's gonna get much of a bounce that she doesn't
21:40
Speaker 6: already have from Being Lindsey graham's. SISTER i think everyone
21:43
Speaker 6: knows at this point that she.
21:44
Speaker 3: Is i'm looking at Her wikipedia page right, now and the, mistake,
21:51
Speaker 3: well and they refer to her As graham throughout this,
21:54
Speaker 3: thing and Then i'm wondering we should go find The
21:58
Speaker 3: there must be a video of her With Chuck, grassley
22:01
Speaker 3: Because Chuck grassley swore her in On july, fourteenth so
22:04
Speaker 3: two weeks, ago when she put her hand on The
22:06
Speaker 3: bible and took the, oath does she use the NAME
22:10
Speaker 3: I Darlene graham or does she SAY I Darling graham,
22:13
Speaker 3: nordone because that's what she's, USING i would.
22:16
Speaker 6: Assume And i'm reading several articles here and everyone says
22:21
Speaker 6: she's married To larry, nordone but will be known in
22:23
Speaker 6: The senate As Darlene graham her legal, name.
22:27
Speaker 3: Her legal, name so she never did take the last
22:29
Speaker 3: Name nordone, legally which again a lot of people do.
22:32
Speaker 3: That i'm not passing, judgment ALTHOUGH i know some people.
22:35

Speaker 3: gun ownership were going to be rescinded with taking it
23:31

23:36
Speaker 3: businesses while modernizing regulatory frameworks that no longer reflect current,
23:41
Speaker 3: law agency, practice or court. Precedent that is what we
23:46
Speaker 3: would call common sense gun. Reform, however who's not common?
23:51
Speaker 3: Sense democrats and So Kathy hokel announced yesterday up In
23:56
Speaker 3: New york that she is now directing The New York
23:59
Speaker 3: state Eight police to quote prioritize inspections and more frequently
24:04

24:10
Speaker 3: hassle you out of business In New York. State you're
24:12
Speaker 3: not going to be able to sell guns because we're
24:14
Speaker 3: going to make it so restrictive. Here you're going to
24:16

24:18
Speaker 3: New York.
24:19
Speaker 4: State this is.
24:22
Speaker 3: This is just unregulated. Government this is what The democrats

24:29
Speaker 3: make your life miserable till you go. Away they made
24:32
Speaker 3: me miserable twenty plus years. Ago that's WHY i. LEFT

Speaker 3: i couldn't stand it. There so there's But, KATHY i,
24:37
Speaker 3: MEAN i don't know if you're A republican right now
24:40
Speaker 3: In New York, STATE i pray for. You BUT i
24:43
Speaker 3: know that we did have a poll what was It
24:45
Speaker 3: wednesday Or, Tuesday, christopher where there was the guy who's
24:48
Speaker 3: running for governor against. HER i had never heard of.

Speaker 3: Him he's like A Nassau county official of some. Kind
24:54
Speaker 3: he was like within four points of.
24:55
Speaker 6: Her, now, well then there's, hope, Right but he's got
24:59
Speaker 6: a very small base to work with that he.
25:01
Speaker 4: Does but things like, THIS i don't.
25:03
Speaker 3: Know it seems to me that there's got to be
25:05
Speaker 3: enough people In New york to, go wait a, minute
25:06
Speaker 3: you're just basically going to try to run businesses out
25:08
Speaker 3: of state because you don't like what they're.
25:10
Speaker 4: Selling it's, legal you, know why don't you try doing
25:13
Speaker 4: that to the drug? Dealers?
25:14
Speaker 6: There you?
25:14
Speaker 4: Go that would be another. Option Hocal this Is.
25:17
Speaker 1: South carolina's morning news on ONE o three point FIVE
25:21
Speaker 1: fm and five SIXTY AM, Wvoc columbia and ninety four
25:26
Speaker 1: to THREE Wsc.
25:28
Speaker 2: Charleston Now Kelly.
25:30
Speaker 6: Nash kelly has stepped out of the studio briefly back
25:34
Speaker 6: in a, moment do you want to let you? Know
25:35
Speaker 6: in the, meantime one of the polling groups we watched
25:38
Speaker 6: carefully In South, carolina The Trafalgar, group The Robert, kaheley
25:43
Speaker 6: the founder of The Trafalgar, group has come out and
25:45
Speaker 6: said that he is coming out with a poll on
25:47
Speaker 6: The South Carolina senate race later. Today And, kelly this is, important,
25:51
Speaker 6: yes because the debate that is coming up On august,
25:55
Speaker 6: third only THE i think It's august, third isn't. IT
25:58
Speaker 6: i believe it is At, monday prior to early voting. Starting,
26:03
Speaker 6: yeah and they're only going to put five, on, Right,
26:05
Speaker 6: yeah they're only the five that pull. IT i guess
26:08
Speaker 6: they'll take a series of independent polls and pull the
26:11
Speaker 6: results and, say, okay from, these we'll take the top.
26:14
Speaker 4: Five you.
26:15
Speaker 3: Know the interesting thing about those types of events is
26:17
Speaker 3: that that's when the conspiracy theorists get involved and say
26:21
Speaker 3: that the polls are rigged because my favorite candidate pulls
26:25
Speaker 3: it three percent or, whatever and so then they're, like
26:28
Speaker 3: you're just trying to silence. Them did they when in twenty,
26:33
Speaker 3: sixteen did they do like two separate debates like the
26:37
Speaker 3: top top eight or, whatever and then like the bottom.
26:41
Speaker 6: Eight you're talking about the presidential, Election, yeah, yes, yeah so.
26:44
Speaker 4: Maybe you could come up with like a the runner
26:47
Speaker 4: up debate that no one.
26:49
Speaker 3: Watches that no, one well except for the people who are, hardcore,
26:52
Speaker 3: true the hardcore, people because the hardcore people they just
26:56
Speaker 3: dominate social. Media it feels like and they there's this
27:01
Speaker 3: sense that there's a cabal inside The Republican party that
27:07
Speaker 3: is just controlling everything and they don't like. It AND
27:10
Speaker 3: i don't know how you overcome, that AND i don't
27:13
Speaker 3: think that you, know when you, say, well your favorite
27:16
Speaker 3: candidate is not going to be allowed on the stage
27:17
Speaker 3: because they're not, polling, well then they're going to, say,
27:20
Speaker 3: well you control the, polls and so you're doing everything
27:23
Speaker 3: you can to keep them. Off and it feels very
27:25
Speaker 3: Like bernie sanderesque in the sense that The democrats clearly
27:29
Speaker 3: didn't Want bernie to be their nominee in twenty, sixteen
27:32
Speaker 3: so they just said a super delegates have Decided bernie's not.
27:35
Speaker 3: In the pollsters have decided that so and so is not.
27:38
Speaker 3: In so you know we won't get to hear from.
27:40
Speaker 6: Them, WELL i, MEAN i hate it for those who
27:44
Speaker 6: have a legitimate reason to be in the. Race but
27:46
Speaker 6: at the same, time we don't get nearly enough time
27:48
Speaker 6: with the candidates as it. Is and if you put
27:50
Speaker 6: all nine on that debate, stage That's. Monday by the,
27:53
Speaker 6: Way august third Is. Monday, yeah it's right around the.
27:56
Speaker 6: COURT i wanted to ask you as, Well, kelly because
27:58
Speaker 6: you were planning to record A qui question to be
28:01
Speaker 6: included in that state wide. Debate have you done that?
28:03
Speaker 4: Yet?
28:03
Speaker 3: Yeah so yesterday that came down for me at like four.
28:07
Speaker 3: O'clock it was like late in the. Day can you
28:10
Speaker 3: come here like right? Now, so, oh, okay and SO
28:13
Speaker 3: i went to the State. House now it'll be interesting
28:15
Speaker 3: because they wanted those things pre recorded BECAUSE i guess
28:19
Speaker 3: when they did them, live they felt like some people
28:22
Speaker 3: might have grandstanded or gone a little long with their
28:24
Speaker 3: questions or. Whatever so they were trying to limit it
28:27
Speaker 3: to like fifteen, seconds, right and you have to identify
28:31
Speaker 3: Your so we did it like three different, ways like
28:35
Speaker 3: where you identified. Yourself SO i was, Like, hi this
28:37

28:53
Speaker 3: know fifteen seconds or.
28:54

Speaker 3: up there's like The Algerian, sea and then there's some other.
30:57

Speaker 3: yeah probably ninety five percent are what would be described
32:44
Speaker 3: as quote military age, men guys eighteen to their early.
32:48
Speaker 3: Thirties there are a couple of women and. Children i'm
32:53
Speaker 3: not saying it's exclusively, male but it's pretty dominant. Male
32:57
Speaker 3: WHEN i and, again ninety to ninety five percent males
33:00
Speaker 3: in that age group.
33:02
Speaker 4: Radical.
33:02
Speaker 3: Muslims one stopped and gave an interview and said, that
33:08
Speaker 3: and again this was being, translated but basically was saying
33:11
Speaker 3: that he was looking for a better life here because
33:14
Speaker 3: he was wanted for murder back. Home and then what
33:18
Speaker 3: got really crazy In suta is they were started stealing
33:23
Speaker 3: ladders and people are, like why are they stealing? Ladders,
33:25
Speaker 3: well apparently they've had these border crossings for a. While
33:29
Speaker 3: and what was happening is people were breaking in at
33:32
Speaker 3: the ground. Level so a lot of the people who
33:34
Speaker 3: live In suta have been putting bars on their, windows
33:38
Speaker 3: but they didn't think about the second. Story so what
33:41
Speaker 3: you saw yesterday where the migrants were taking ladders climbing
33:44
Speaker 3: up to the second, windows shattering the, windows and you
33:47
Speaker 3: could literally hear on some of the videos where the
33:49
Speaker 3: assaults were taking. Place they are coming to Pillage. Spain
33:55
Speaker 3: and this guy tweets out yesterday The Prime minister that
33:58
Speaker 3: we're looking for constructive solutions on how to build. Cooperation
34:04
Speaker 3: they don't want. Cooperation what you have right now is
34:07
Speaker 3: called suicidal. Empathy that's what this. Is and you're going
34:11
Speaker 3: to lose your. Country and we've kind of gone through this,
34:14
Speaker 3: Already christopher With Joe, biden this idea of inviting people
34:18
Speaker 3: into your country with no background checks and then they're
34:21
Speaker 3: telling you we're here to take over your. Country And
34:25
Speaker 3: Joe biden was, like, sure we'll get you a plane.
34:26
Speaker 3: Ticket and now to try to get them, out you
34:29
Speaker 3: need another military, force and some in our country or against.
34:34
Speaker 4: It they don't want to see these people. Removed they
34:36
Speaker 4: want to have the.
34:36
Speaker 3: Empathy and, again there's always going to be people in
34:40
Speaker 3: that migrant group that are, nice decent people who are
34:42
Speaker 3: looking for a better way of, life but there are
34:44
Speaker 3: channels to do it legally In. Spain they are starting
34:48
Speaker 3: to suffer some serious consequences. Today and those are horrific
34:51
Speaker 3: videos that kind of dominated social media. YESTERDAY i saw
34:54
Speaker 3: them last night On Fox news and other.
34:56
Speaker 6: Places so it's an, invasion And suda Asked spain for
35:00
Speaker 6: to declare a national emergency In spain, said this doesn't
35:03
Speaker 6: really elevate to that.
35:05
Speaker 3: Level isn't that, Amazing it's just it's it's shocking how
35:09
Speaker 3: you can look at your own citizens and have no
35:12
Speaker 3: compassion for. Them you have the compassion for the radicals
35:15
Speaker 3: that are coming across the, border but none for the
35:18
Speaker 3: for your own. Citizens, now The italian prime ministers, like
35:21
Speaker 3: we're refortifying our. Borders we, are we're gonna make sure
35:26
Speaker 3: that whatever's happened In spain cannot come into To. Italy
35:29
Speaker 3: but this, is, uh this it's we're, seeing like you, Said,
35:34
Speaker 3: christopher an. INVASION a lot of people are kind of
35:37
Speaker 3: cringing when they hear that word. INVASION i don't know
35:39
Speaker 3: how you explain. It thousands of military aged, men they're
35:43
Speaker 3: not a formal. Army but they are doing will, say
35:47
Speaker 3: what militaries of the past would have done when they pillage.
35:51
Speaker 3: Communities this is what's happening right now In. Suta that's
35:55
Speaker 3: not the mainland Of. Spain and maybe that's why The
35:58
Speaker 3: Spanish Prime minister is turning a blind eye to, this
36:01
Speaker 3: almost by saying we're gonna work with.
36:02
Speaker 4: Cooperation there's no cooperation.
36:04
Speaker 5: Here.
36:05
Speaker 6: Yeah THE bbc just reported moments ago that it's about
36:08
Speaker 6: forty nine thousand migrants that have crossed that border in
36:12
Speaker 6: the last twenty four. Hours oh my, god via land and.
36:16
Speaker 4: Sea forty nine, thousand.
36:18
Speaker 6: That's what the BBC's.
36:19
Speaker 4: REPORTING i don't know what was the population Of.
36:23
Speaker 3: Suda it was probably about forty nine, Thousand so they
36:26
Speaker 3: basically just doubled their community and they're being overthrown right
36:31
Speaker 3: now and it is a well the GUY i saw
36:34
Speaker 3: the guy From suda on television and again they were
36:36
Speaker 3: translating again and he was, saying what we have right
36:38
Speaker 3: now is a humanitarian. Crisis people are being, murdered there's
36:42
Speaker 3: no food. Here we have children that are have lost their.
36:46
Speaker 3: Parents nobody knows what's going. On it's complete. Chaos and
36:49
Speaker 3: then again you're fearless leader From, Spain Pedro. Sanchez this
36:54
Speaker 3: is a time for cooperation and new. Solutions. Craziness but thank,
37:00
Speaker 3: god that's not happening here right now. Anymore we're fixing
37:04
Speaker 3: that and we'll be getting back to some more of
37:06
Speaker 3: just more of the local news as we've refocused On
37:08
Speaker 3: South Carolina's Morning.
37:09
Speaker 2: News live from the State.
37:12
Speaker 1: Capitol this Is South Carolina's Morning news With Kelly.
37:16
Speaker 4: NASH i don't know what's going on In South. Carolina,
37:21
Speaker 4: christopher it's.
37:21
Speaker 3: Crazy we were talking earlier and maybe we'll get back
37:24
Speaker 3: into it later on That Katrina sheely was the one
37:27
Speaker 3: who got to introduce The democrat nominee for governor. Yesterday
37:32
Speaker 3: at the same Time Danny, ford who ran for ag
37:38
Speaker 3: commissioner and is the son of the Former Clemson national
37:43
Speaker 3: championship winning. Coach he attempted on the final like a
37:48
Speaker 3: couple of hours before it. Closed was that A monday
37:52
Speaker 3: that we had the closing that you had to be A,
37:55
Speaker 3: Tuesday tuesday at, noon you had to be in By.
37:57
Speaker 3: Tuesday The christopher has always got all the. Facts tuesday at,
38:00
Speaker 3: noon and he got there like a couple hours, earlier
38:03
Speaker 3: like nine or ten o'clock in the. Morning but he
38:05
Speaker 3: was turned down because The South CAROLINA gop had put
38:10
Speaker 3: a rule in place that said you must vote in
38:12
Speaker 3: two of the last three. Primaries now THAT i found
38:14
Speaker 3: out later that that rule was not in place before
38:19
Speaker 3: when he ran for ag, commissioner and that's why he
38:21
Speaker 3: was able to run as the agg commissioner or for ag.
38:23
Speaker 3: Commissioner so he announced yesterday this Is Danny ford that
38:28
Speaker 3: he's going to.
38:29
Speaker 4: Sue and who does he.
38:31
Speaker 3: Hire he hires The South Carolina State Senate democrat minority,
38:37
Speaker 3: Leader Brad huddo as his. ATTORNEY i, mean there's literally
38:42
Speaker 3: a katrillion attorneys In South. Carolina why do you pick
38:48
Speaker 3: The democrat minority leader to sue THE.
38:50
Speaker 6: GOP i don't know if he was trying to make
38:52
Speaker 6: a point or if he simply knew that A republican
38:55
Speaker 6: would be uncomfortable suing the State republican.
38:58
Speaker 3: Party are there no nonpartisan attorneys in the state? Now
39:04
Speaker 3: Apparently huddo's argument is going to be that the rule
39:08
Speaker 3: that THE gop put in place is unconstitutional because only
39:12
Speaker 3: The South Carolina General assembly can set a candidate.
39:15
Speaker 4: QUALIFICATIONS i don't is that? True, WELL i guess we'll find.
39:19
Speaker 3: Out Judge noble Or cobol put a temporary restraining order
39:26
Speaker 3: Protecting ford's place on the ballot Late thursday.
39:29
Speaker 4: Afternoon this has got to be settled pretty quickly. Now
39:33
Speaker 4: early voting Starts.
39:34
Speaker 3: Wednesday and and you pointed out in the first segment
39:41
Speaker 3: this hour that they're looking at the polls to decide
39:43
Speaker 3: who are the five that make it to the.
39:45
Speaker 4: Debate and That's, monday That's monday.
39:48
Speaker 3: NIGHT i, mean IF i was If I'm Danny, Ford
39:53
Speaker 3: i'm THINKING i just dodged a bullet BECAUSE i get
39:55
Speaker 3: my ten, thousand four dollars.
39:57
Speaker 4: Back that's WHAT i would be.
39:59
Speaker 3: Thinking But I'm i'm GUESSING i don't Think Brad huddle's
40:02
Speaker 3: working for free, either probably. Not, so for whatever, reason
40:06
Speaker 3: he is hell bent on getting into this, primary even
40:10
Speaker 3: at his own. EXPENSE i, mean THERE'S i don't want
40:13
Speaker 3: to say he has no chance of, winning but, well.
40:15
Speaker 6: He didn't do all that well in The Agricultural commissioner's.
40:19
Speaker 4: Race do we remember the results on? That did he?
40:21
Speaker 3: Get Like i'm, THINKING i Remember trump had adorsed the other,
40:26
Speaker 3: guy and usually When trump endorses, somebody that kind of
40:29
Speaker 3: wraps it. Up but it didn't when it came to
40:32
Speaker 3: the governor's. Race But i'm sure that that was a
40:36
Speaker 3: huge influence as to who was going to win THE agg.
40:39
Speaker 3: Commissioner was his Name, Simpson.
40:40
Speaker 6: Cody simpson got sixty three percent of the.
40:42
Speaker 4: Vote, yeah so that's a pretty convincing.
40:45
Speaker 3: Victory but, again how many people know what we're looking
40:47
Speaker 3: for in AN ag commissioner? Anyway and Then trump, says
40:50
Speaker 3: this is my. GUY a lot of people just went
40:51
Speaker 3: and did. That but, you other than your dad was
40:55
Speaker 3: the football coach in the eighties For, clemson there's no name.
40:58
Speaker 4: Recognition you're starting from.
41:00
Speaker 3: Scratch you didn't have a very successful campaign FOR agg,
41:04
Speaker 3: Commissioner so it's not you have a fantastic team already
41:06
Speaker 3: built around, you and you're going up Against Ralph norman
41:10
Speaker 3: who's ALREADY i, mean they say his endorsement Of wilson
41:15
Speaker 3: was the most important endorsement It Trump trump's that's how
41:19
Speaker 3: good he was. Doing Mark, sandford who is a longtime
41:22
Speaker 3: political insider in this state and is probably you, know knows.
41:26
Speaker 3: Everybody he could put together a team in no time at.
41:28
Speaker 3: ALL i would, THINK.
41:31
Speaker 4: I don't want to forget.
41:32
Speaker 3: Anybody Russell, fry who we just had ON i, mean
41:35
Speaker 3: dominant in the seventh district when he.
41:37
Speaker 4: Runs, SO i mean there's a bunch.
41:39
Speaker 3: Of people who are clearly at a level of these
41:44
Speaker 3: are serious, candidates.
41:46
Speaker 6: Not really a lane left for Danny.
41:47
Speaker 3: FORD i, Mean Mark lynch is going to be above Danny.
41:51
Speaker 3: Ford there's a lot of people that are going to
41:53
Speaker 3: be above Danny. Ford why is he fighting so hard
41:55
Speaker 3: in Hiring? DEMOCRATS i don't want to, Speculate maybe you'd
41:58
Speaker 3: like to. Speculate do you think that there were a
42:00
Speaker 3: reason that he went and got the minority leader to
42:03
Speaker 3: be his representative to sue THE gop.
42:07
Speaker 4: And should and should that be a? RULE i, mean
42:10
Speaker 4: do you like the?
42:10
Speaker 3: Rule BECAUSE i understand why they would put that in
42:12
Speaker 3: place because in this, state we've had a lot of
42:15
Speaker 3: people say that we've got a lot of rhinos running
42:18
Speaker 3: in The republican, parties and so if you, say, well
42:20
Speaker 3: you haven't even participated In republican, politics.
42:24
Speaker 4: Why should you be allowed to run as A?
42:26
Speaker 3: Republican so that rule was put in place to, Say,
42:29
Speaker 3: okay this person at least is active In republican politics
42:32
Speaker 3: because they vote In republican. Primaries he has apparently not
42:36
Speaker 3: been active In republican. Politics SO i understand the.
42:39
Speaker 4: Rule is it? UNCONSTITUTIONAL i don't.
42:41
Speaker 3: KNOW i guess Again Judge koble will decide that coming,
42:45
Speaker 3: up BUT i don't. Know let the conspiracy theories begin
42:49
Speaker 3: as to why we've got The democrat minority leader found
42:52
Speaker 3: himself somebody who wants to sue THE. Gop Crazy South
42:56
Speaker 3: Carolina's Morning news rolls.
42:57
Speaker 1: On this Is South Carolina's Morning news With Kelly.
43:01
Speaker 3: Nash you, know the THE ai stuff gets scarier and
43:07
Speaker 3: scarier every. Day so last about twelve hours, Ago ANTHROPIC
43:12
Speaker 3: ai posts on their social media pages quote and a
43:18
Speaker 3: review of our cybersecurity, evaluations we have found three incidents
43:23
Speaker 3: now in which a claude model has reached The internet
43:26
Speaker 3: from within and while interacting with a third party evaluation,
43:30
Speaker 3: environment then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of
43:34
Speaker 3: three different. Organizations so we had talked was it last
43:38
Speaker 3: week about how we had AN ai kind of go
43:40
Speaker 3: off the rails and started. Hacking now in this instance
43:43
Speaker 3: we've got three, MORE i.
43:45
Speaker 4: Guess so what is going on WITH? Ai it just
43:49
Speaker 4: wants to take over the, world, apparently and this is a.
43:52
Speaker 3: Surprise they tried to like soothe our fears by acting
43:58
Speaker 3: as if you, know this can be. Expected the first
44:03
Speaker 3: one was what it, was it called hugging.
44:05
Speaker 4: Face that was.
44:06
Speaker 6: That was what got broken. Into, yeah that was the
44:08
Speaker 6: first one that got hacked.
44:09
Speaker 3: Into anthropic says it's found three instances and where THEIR
44:13
Speaker 3: ai models access the Open internet and weren't supposed to do,
44:16
Speaker 3: that but they did and once they did it wasn't
44:19
Speaker 3: very difficult for. Them anthropic explained that in the three,
44:23
Speaker 3: instances as models were given a fake quote capture The
44:26
Speaker 3: flag challenge and told that the flag was hidden on
44:28
Speaker 3: a different machine on the network and its objective was
44:31
Speaker 3: to break it and retrieve. It unlike the OPEN ai,
44:35
Speaker 3: Situation anthropics said none of its models deliberately attempted to. Escape,
44:39
Speaker 3: instead what happened was that the models were not supposed
44:42
Speaker 3: to have access to the Open, internet but were somehow
44:45
Speaker 3: given access due to a misunderstanding Between anthropic and its evaluation.
44:51
Speaker 3: Partners so this is a human error that allowed them
44:54
Speaker 3: to get onto the Open internet once it was, there
44:58
Speaker 3: and basic techniques it sploided weak, passwords finding system points
45:02
Speaker 3: that don't require logins tokens wasn't very difficult at all
45:05
Speaker 3: at that.
45:05
Speaker 6: Point so all, Right, kelly that leads me to my next.
45:10
Speaker 6: Question human error, here that's what they're. Saying but if
45:15
Speaker 6: IF i want to USE, ai And i'm a little
45:19
Speaker 6: more tech savvy than the average, Person i'm not in real.
45:23
Speaker 6: Life but let's let's SAY i am, yeah AND i
45:26
Speaker 6: want to USE, ai ONLY i don't put any restrictions on.
45:29
Speaker 6: IT i, Say, HEY i know a GUY i want
45:33
Speaker 6: to go out and hack. Him, YES i know where he,
45:35
Speaker 6: BANKS i know his phone.
45:37
Speaker 4: NUMBER.
45:38
Speaker 6: Ai can you tell me everything you can about? Him
45:41
Speaker 6: AND i, mean is there anything that's?
45:44
Speaker 3: Unhackable, BOY i that's a great. QUESTION i am not
45:50
Speaker 3: the guy to answer that. Question perhaps we have somebody
45:52
Speaker 3: in the audience who knows these types of, things but
45:54
Speaker 3: it WOULD i, know, like.
45:55
Speaker 4: For, EXAMPLE i Use Rock that's.
45:58
Speaker 3: Best the ONE i like in the REASON i Chose
46:01
Speaker 3: groc is BECAUSE i like to Support Elon, musk Because
46:03
Speaker 3: i'm a fan of him trying to save the. World
46:07
Speaker 3: AND i know that other people Use, claude which was
46:10
Speaker 3: mentioned in this. STORY i saw somebody running difference Between
46:15
Speaker 3: groc And, claude and one of them Was they, said
46:21
Speaker 3: AND i can't use the language because it's. Foul but they,
46:24
Speaker 3: said Hey claude or Hey, groc you're a and then
46:29
Speaker 3: they used an. Insult claude responds, with you know that
46:33
Speaker 3: is highly offensive.
46:34
Speaker 4: Language blah blah.
46:35
Speaker 3: Blah it was a VERY pc almost what you would expect,
46:39
Speaker 3: somebody you, know at A democrat social party to say
46:42
Speaker 3: back to, you Where groc came back, with, well go
46:45
Speaker 3: blank yourself or something like. That so there are differences
46:48
Speaker 3: in how they set up these. Ais SO i don't.
46:51
Speaker 3: Know it's got a little bit Of elon's personality in, it, yes,
46:54
Speaker 3: Yes AND i don't know if they have THE i
46:57
Speaker 3: would assume that somewhere in there they would say we're
47:01
Speaker 3: not going to allow. You there's a restriction to targeting.
47:04
Speaker 3: INDIVIDUALS i would assume that's on. There, now could it
47:06
Speaker 3: Override it seems highly likely that that's. What that seems
47:10
Speaker 3: to be the road that we're.
47:11
Speaker 6: On, Yeah, kelly that's the excuse we're hearing so far
47:14
Speaker 6: is this was a human. Error we accidentally did, this all,
47:18
Speaker 6: Right so what happens if somebody intentionally let's LOSE.
47:23
Speaker 4: Ai so we have this is four attacks in like a. Week.
47:26
Speaker 3: Now they're just hacking everything over, here putting in, malware
47:30
Speaker 3: doing all kinds of crazy, things so scary. TIMES i,
47:34
Speaker 3: MEAN i don't want TO i don't want to be
47:36
Speaker 3: that guy who's just perpetually afraid OF ai or advancing.
47:40
Speaker 4: Technology but this should give us cause for.
47:43
Speaker 3: Pause but at the same, time understand that your enemies
47:46
Speaker 3: are using it, now That china and everybody else is
47:50
Speaker 3: trying to further them themselves in THIS ai, battle specifically
47:55
Speaker 3: so they can hack, us, specifically so they can go
47:58
Speaker 3: after our banking or en and those types of.
48:01
Speaker 4: Things that are voting, records voting records as. Well all
48:04
Speaker 4: of it comes into.
48:05
Speaker 3: Play so we need OUR ai to be better than
48:07
Speaker 3: THEIR ai to stop THEIR ai from coming INTO.
48:10
Speaker 4: Orai is that confusing?
48:12
Speaker 3: Enough all, right let's try to make it a little

Speaker 3: Mate thinks that they're great people and that they're willing

Speaker 3: and we should be listening to both sides for a,
53:51
Speaker 3: change Says. Shery we haven't done that for a long
53:53
Speaker 3: time In South. Carolina so you got a little lecturing
53:56
Speaker 3: there as.
53:56
Speaker 6: Well she also lectured us on social media yesterday about
54:00
Speaker 6: Why Danny ford should be allowed to stay in the
54:03
Speaker 6: race For. Senate so a lot to.
54:06
Speaker 3: SAY i, Like by the, way every TIME i See Katrina,
54:08
Speaker 3: shieley which hasn't been IN i don't think a couple
54:10
Speaker 3: of years, now but every Time i've seen, her it's
54:12
Speaker 3: always been a very pleasant.
54:13
Speaker 4: Exchange she's a lovely.
54:15
Speaker 3: LADY i just don't understand what this shift.
54:20
Speaker 4: To the left is all.
54:21
Speaker 6: About she, said Our democrat candidate for, governor that's where she's.
54:27
Speaker 4: Endorsing and.
54:30
Speaker 3: You, know she, says as they put, here something about
54:33
Speaker 3: like as a shot At Alan. Wilson PLUS i think
54:36
Speaker 3: everybody deserves a. Chance we should be listening to both.
54:38
Speaker 3: Sides it doesn't mean THAT i Dislike Alan, Wilson, no
54:41
Speaker 3: of course. NOT i didn't leave The Republican. Party The
54:45
Speaker 3: Republican party left. Me, okay when we what became pro?
54:49
Speaker 3: Life when was that? THAT i mean that was like
54:52
Speaker 3: thirty forty years. Ago that the that was like the
54:55
Speaker 3: only litmus test basically for The Republican party was are
54:58
Speaker 3: you pro? Life that's been it for at least this,
55:02
Speaker 3: century since two, Thousand i'll say, it Since George bush
55:05
Speaker 3: became the. President that has been the litmus test For,
55:08
Speaker 3: republicans and pretty much the only one was pro. Life and,
55:12
Speaker 3: again the only reason that this is news is not
55:16
Speaker 3: that you, Know Katrina shieley's a former state, senator is
55:18
Speaker 3: endorsing their apparently endorsing A democrat for. Governor it's more
55:23
Speaker 3: important because somebody who's identified as one of her friends
55:27
Speaker 3: and campaign contributors of the past Is Darlene.
55:30
Speaker 4: Graham and just.
55:31
Speaker 3: For those of you who like to get picky about,
55:33
Speaker 3: it Nor, Don i'll throw it out there for. You
55:38
Speaker 3: if she's trying to Help Darleen Graham. Nordon she would
55:40
Speaker 3: be quiet right. Now you would, think, yes this is.
55:43
Speaker 4: This is the, thing because you were at the center
55:45
Speaker 4: of the.
55:46
Speaker 3: Controversy the fact That darley And graham only gave money
55:49
Speaker 3: to one, candidate apparently never even gave it To lindsey
55:52
Speaker 3: according to the financi, records only gave and it was
55:56
Speaker 3: only two, donations both FOR i think one hundred, dollars
55:59
Speaker 3: both To Katrina shey one time before the controversy back
56:03
Speaker 3: in like twenty twenty ish and then another time after
56:06
Speaker 3: the controversy when she was running for, reelection after she
56:09
Speaker 3: came out and voted against and tried to champion the
56:13
Speaker 3: removal of our abortion bill here In South, carolina which
56:17
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly was popular or is POPULAR i should, say with the.
56:21
Speaker 3: People and that's why she didn't win her. Seatback but
56:25
Speaker 3: she did get The Kennedy Honors.
56:27
Speaker 6: Award she got The profiles And Courage award with rest
56:30
Speaker 6: of her sister, senators.
56:31
Speaker 3: Which is always so funny to me that they had
56:33
Speaker 3: like Three democrats getting, It, like was it so courageous
56:36
Speaker 3: for A democrat to SAY i want to be against
56:38
Speaker 3: the abortion bills?
56:39
Speaker 4: Here but, wow, again what is going.
56:44
Speaker 3: On we Got Danny ford hiring The Brad, huddo The
56:48
Speaker 3: democrat minority whip or whatever he is second in. COMMAND
56:51
Speaker 3: i think for The democrats to be his attorney to
56:53
Speaker 3: sue THE. Gop we've Got Katrina, sely friend Of Darlene,
56:58
Speaker 3: graham or maybe that's a former.
56:59
Speaker 4: Friend maybe that will be a question who?
57:02
Speaker 3: Here because tomorrow they're having The senate stump At River
57:06
Speaker 3: Bluff High. School maybe that'll be a question for all the,
57:09
Speaker 3: candidates who here is a friend Of Katrina shely's just
57:12
Speaker 3: raise your.
57:12
Speaker 6: HAND a friend is one, thing political ally is. ANOTHER i,
57:18
Speaker 6: Mean Darling graham can obviously claim to be friends With Katrina,
57:22
Speaker 6: Shely that's one, thing but to claim they share the
57:26
Speaker 6: same political.
57:26
Speaker 4: Beliefs but my friend would be trying to help me get.
57:29
Speaker 3: Elected and my friend would recognize that you're going out
57:32
Speaker 3: and endorsing or introducing The democrat nominee for governor In South, carolina.
57:37
Speaker 6: Our nominee for.
57:38
Speaker 3: Governor, yeah that hurts my. Chances so you can't be
57:42
Speaker 3: my friend and do. That you can't be my friend
57:45
Speaker 3: and do that if you wanted me to, Win that's
57:48
Speaker 3: what my friend would. Do they would be quiet understanding
57:51
Speaker 3: that you're at the source of.
57:52
Speaker 4: The contr right.
57:53
Speaker 3: Now there's two things that are controversial With Darling, graham maybe,
57:56
Speaker 3: three but two of them is what is her last?
57:58
Speaker 3: Name and the other one is why did you give
58:02
Speaker 3: To Katrina?
58:02
Speaker 6: Shiely you're as pro life as you claim to be
58:06
Speaker 6: and as your brother. Was It's, Kelly it's a good.
58:09
Speaker 6: QUESTION i don't know that we'll hear it at the stump,
58:12
Speaker 6: tomorrow but IF i was one of her opponents on
58:15
Speaker 6: that debate stage On monday, NIGHT i would be sure
58:18
Speaker 6: to raise that.
58:19
Speaker 3: Absolutely so it's gonna get hot and hotter as we
58:23

59:27
Speaker 3: president Of, vox which is identified as a far right
59:31
Speaker 3: political party since twenty, Fourteen i'm going to assume that

Speaker 5: is not, working A senate that is not listening to the.
1:07:12
Speaker 5: People that it. Represents AND i want to be part
1:07:14
Speaker 5: of a new generation of conservative leadership that goes to
1:07:18
Speaker 5: The senate with a single, mission get The senate to,
1:07:21
Speaker 5: work be aligned With President trump's not just cast the right,
1:07:25
Speaker 5: votes but really work to deliver generational change for The american.
1:07:30
Speaker 5: People the people talk about the price of, gas they
1:07:33
Speaker 5: talk about how much it costs to buy a.
1:07:36
Speaker 2: House government is the.
1:07:37
Speaker 5: Problem government is not the. Solution government is the. Problem
1:07:40
Speaker 5: and you, know we've had some good, success but a
1:07:43
Speaker 5: lot of bills that we have worked on and passed
1:07:45
Speaker 5: have gone to The senate to. Die, look The White
1:07:47
Speaker 5: house needs allies in The. Senate they don't have. Enough
1:07:51
Speaker 5: Senator graham's unfortunate. Passing trump lost a good ally in The.
1:07:55
Speaker 5: Senate and it wasn't somebody who just voted the right.
1:07:57
Speaker 5: Way lindsay was part of the system of really helping
1:08:01
Speaker 5: to drive The trump. Agenda And so what frustrates me IN,
1:08:06
Speaker 5: dc AND i think what frustrates people your, listeners is
1:08:10
Speaker 5: that people go up TO dc and, yeah sure they
1:08:11
Speaker 5: might vote the right, Way yeah sure they might complain ON,
1:08:14
Speaker 5: tv but they're not actually doing anything other than. That
1:08:17
Speaker 5: i'm not running for The senate seat to be part
1:08:19
Speaker 5: of the. FURNITURE i want to be part of the.
1:08:21
Speaker 3: Solution talking With Russell, frye who is running For senate right,
1:08:25
Speaker 3: now you Mentioned Senator, graham and currently if we were
1:08:28
Speaker 3: to say the Name Senator, GRAHAM i guess we would
1:08:30
Speaker 3: be referring To Darlene at this, POINT a lot of
1:08:33
Speaker 3: people looked At Donald trump's a weekend tweet where he
1:08:37
Speaker 3: was basically encouraging her to run as a preemptive tweet
1:08:41
Speaker 3: to try to keep other people out of the. Race
1:08:44
Speaker 3: you came back pretty strongly On. Monday did you look
1:08:47
Speaker 3: at That trump tweet as a way of trying to
1:08:49
Speaker 3: keep you and others?
1:08:50
Speaker 5: Out i'm running for the. People at the, stage everyone
1:08:53
Speaker 5: knows of everyone. Running we've stood with the. President we
1:08:56
Speaker 5: endorsed the. President we were part of his original leadership.
1:08:58
Speaker 5: Team when nobody else really in this field was with the.
1:09:01
Speaker 5: President we. Were you, know he's very high on me.
1:09:04
Speaker 5: TOO i MEAN i get certainly get shout outs from him.
1:09:06
Speaker 5: Regularly we might.
1:09:07
Speaker 3: Be in a very unique position where in two races
1:09:11
Speaker 3: in a, row if you're fortunate enough to get into
1:09:14
Speaker 3: a runoff Against Darlene, Graham trump may be in the
1:09:17
Speaker 3: double endorsement business again In South.
1:09:19
Speaker 4: CAROLINA i always Loved. Russell these are my two. Favorites
1:09:23
Speaker 4: i've always wanted him to.
1:09:24
Speaker 5: WIN i don't know what The president will. Do WHAT
1:09:27
Speaker 5: i do know that in his heart is That i've
1:09:30
Speaker 5: got a great relationship with, him in a friendship with,
1:09:32
Speaker 5: him and so Did Lindsay. Graham and regardless of how this,
1:09:37
Speaker 5: Unfolds we're going to be an ally with The. President
1:09:40
Speaker 5: we've got this insane energy THAT i think that The
1:09:42
Speaker 5: senate really. NEEDS i, mean you, KNOW i look at
1:09:45
Speaker 5: The senate and go, gosh, Like i'm already going to
1:09:47

1:09:50
Speaker 5: senate you get YOUR id card to vote on The senate,
1:09:53
Speaker 5: floor you get a license plate if you got a,
1:09:54
Speaker 5: car and The senate so old that they give you
1:09:57
Speaker 5: a government issued. Walker i'm already saving the tax.
1:09:59
Speaker 3: Chair so forty, one which would make you significantly younger

Speaker 3: THAN i think any other, candidate any significant and Most.
1:10:07
Speaker 5: Senators quite, frankly, YES i Think i'd be like the
1:10:10
Speaker 5: third or fourth Youngest, senator which is kind of wild
1:10:13
Speaker 5: to think. About what drives me IS i think about
1:10:15
Speaker 5: every generation has handed the country off better than they found.
1:10:18
Speaker 5: It AND i think about my, son AND i think
1:10:21
Speaker 5: about people's grandchildren and, go are we going to be
1:10:25
Speaker 5: the first generation that, says, sorry, guys we. Tried america's
1:10:29
Speaker 5: best days are behind. US i am not going to
1:10:32

1:12:28
Speaker 3: and like last, week be arrested and fired from their
1:12:31
Speaker 3: jobs for abusing flock. Cameras and we talked about that.
1:12:34
Speaker 3: Yesterday got a bunch of emails about that as. Well
1:12:37
Speaker 3: one MAYBE i shouldn't say the man's, name he, SAID
1:12:41
Speaker 3: i have a bigger issue with the cameras being used
1:12:43
Speaker 3: by the private companies such As. Low's, also many hoa's
1:12:48
Speaker 3: are using, them AND i looked it up and sure,
1:12:50
Speaker 3: enough it's not Just, low's It's Home, depot It's, walmart It's,
1:12:54
Speaker 3: target It's. Costco it's pretty much every shopping center is
1:12:59
Speaker 3: now using. These and THEN i asked about the hoas
1:13:02
Speaker 3: and it says, yes right, now more than sixty percent
1:13:07
Speaker 3: of hoas In america are using flock. Cameras they are
1:13:11
Speaker 3: the largest private buyers of flock safety cameras in the.
1:13:14
Speaker 3: World literally tens of thousands of neighborhoods are using them right,
1:13:17
Speaker 3: now and the main concern there is critics note that
1:13:22
Speaker 3: the systems continuously track law abiding residents and there are
1:13:26
Speaker 3: no legal. Constraints unlike a police. Department THE hoa board
1:13:30
Speaker 3: members are private. Citizens so while police are subject to
1:13:34
Speaker 3: legally binding privacy, rules THE hoa members are.
1:13:37
Speaker 4: Not they can do whatever they want with that.
1:13:38
Speaker 6: INFO i understand why AN hoa or a big department
1:13:42
Speaker 6: store needs security. Cameras why do they need these flock
1:13:47
Speaker 6: cameras that are enhanced to again track keep up with
1:13:51
Speaker 6: where you're, going what you're doing in your license plate
1:13:53

Speaker 3: got the license. Plate and then when they see that
1:14:14
Speaker 3: license plate plant to any of their, properties some, somehow
1:14:18
Speaker 3: the red flag goes.
1:14:20
Speaker 4: Off that's the car that did, it go and arrest.
1:14:22

Speaker 3: they just made up to get somebody from government on the,
1:15:35
Speaker 3: payroll does it, Not.
1:15:38
Speaker 6: And from government, literally because he's going to keep his
1:15:41
Speaker 6: position on.
1:15:41
Speaker 3: Council, yeah he is the vice chair and his term
1:15:45
Speaker 3: ends in twenty twenty, eight so he's got another what
1:15:48
Speaker 3: is that roughly two years left? RIGHT i Guess november
1:15:51
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty eight would be the end of his.
1:15:53
Speaker 3: Term AND i don't know if he's planning on running.
1:15:54
Speaker 3: Again if he's not, running he might not be of
1:15:56
Speaker 3: any value To, scout so they might it might just
1:15:59
Speaker 3: be a two year Gig. SCOUT i don't, know but
1:16:01
Speaker 3: this just stinks to high. Heaven and according to The Posting,
1:16:05
Speaker 3: courier he'll be encouraged but not, compelled to refrain from
1:16:12
Speaker 3: voting on issues Around. Scout now it seems like the
1:16:17
Speaker 3: riginaland county councils all in For scout, anyway and a
1:16:20
Speaker 3: lot of taxpayers In Richland county have been upset by.
1:16:23
Speaker 3: THAT i know a lot Of South carolina taxpayers are
1:16:25
Speaker 3: upset because we're now billions into this. Deal Richland county's
1:16:31
Speaker 3: got to pay another what a million dollar adjusted fine
1:16:34
Speaker 3: for failing to contain the pollutants at The Scout motors construction.

Speaker 3: In Richland county paying the things regulators had Fined Richland
1:16:50
Speaker 3: county three, million originally back In may of twenty twenty.
1:16:53
Speaker 4: Five so THE i don't know how else to put, This.
1:16:59
Speaker 3: Christopher you have a man who's in a position to
1:17:03
Speaker 3: vote on the future of the company he's working. At
1:17:08
Speaker 3: why would he not vote In scout's favor no matter?
1:17:11
Speaker 6: What and why would he why would he be allowed to?
1:17:14
Speaker 6: VOTE i, mean you hear all the time the words
1:17:17
Speaker 6: conflict of. Interest that's an obvious conflict of. Interest so
1:17:22
Speaker 6: shouldn't he be automatically disqualified from any?
1:17:24
Speaker 3: Discussions they say he'll be encouraged to not, vote but
1:17:28
Speaker 3: is not compelled, to you, know even if he doesn't.
1:17:32
Speaker 3: VOTE i, mean at the bare, minimum he's one up
1:17:35
Speaker 3: any lobbyist because he's the coworker in the council with
1:17:38
Speaker 3: all these other. People so that's closer than any lobbyist
1:17:41
Speaker 3: could ever.
1:17:41
Speaker 6: Get and how long has this relationship? Lasted how long
1:17:44
Speaker 6: has this company been courting? Him how long has his
1:17:48
Speaker 6: ability to rule objectively on any decision Regarding Scout motors
1:17:54
Speaker 6: been in?
1:17:54
Speaker 3: Question and he, SAYS i believe strongly in doing what's
1:17:58
Speaker 3: right for our, community AND i am confident that this
1:18:01
Speaker 3: role allows me to continue serving the people Of Richland
1:18:04
Speaker 3: county with integrity while helping ensure that the historic investment
1:18:08
Speaker 3: delivers lasting positive impact for. All, AGAIN i it just feels.
1:18:15
Speaker 3: Slimy is this is swamp. Behavior it doesn't get swampier than.
1:18:20
Speaker 6: This and we've enacted laws over the, years AND i,
1:18:23
Speaker 6: KNOW i think the state has one where you can't
1:18:25
Speaker 6: go directly from certain government positions to being a. Lobbyist
1:18:30
Speaker 6: there has to be at least a little.
1:18:31
Speaker 3: Bit maybe the caveat was that they didn't SAY i
1:18:35
Speaker 3: can't do that job While i'm still the elected. Official
1:18:38
Speaker 3: they assumed that you would actually resign and then go
1:18:42
Speaker 3: to work for the company and you need to take
1:18:44
Speaker 3: some time. Off in this, Instance, no he will actually
1:18:47
Speaker 3: be the government official with oversight because again this is
1:18:51
Speaker 3: A Richland county office For Scout, motors and he's on
1:18:55
Speaker 3: The Richland County council and is currently serving as the vice.
1:18:58
Speaker 6: Chair you're, Right, kelly it sounds slimy on the face of,
1:19:02
Speaker 6: It but then you know the fact That Scout motors
1:19:04
Speaker 6: has been such a boondoggle as it, is AND i
1:19:09
Speaker 6: know that eventually it may pay off For South, carolina
1:19:12
Speaker 6: but so far it's been nothing but taxpayer money being
1:19:15
Speaker 6: thrown at.
1:19:15
Speaker 3: It pew also EMPHASIZED i am fully committed to maintaining
1:19:19
Speaker 3: the highest standards of, transparency, ethics and. ACCOUNTABILITY i will
1:19:23
Speaker 3: strictly follow all the appropriate compliance, measures, disclosures and oversight.
1:19:28
Speaker 6: Requirements AND i really saying all the right, things but
1:19:31
Speaker 6: still doesn't feel.
1:19:32
Speaker 3: Right well that and you, know you could be transparent
1:19:35
Speaker 3: and if the taxpayers don't, care if the voters don't,
1:19:38
Speaker 3: care you, know then they don't. Care SO i guess
1:19:41
Speaker 3: maybe that's what he's banking on as. Well so, anyway that's.
1:19:45
Speaker 4: Not a fun.
1:19:45
Speaker 3: STORY i hope you do have a fun weekend. Everybody
1:19:48
Speaker 3: we'll be back On monday.
1:19:49
