Hot topics. Well, let's see here, it's the twenty ninth
of April, so you get through this week. Monday is
what May.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Fourth?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Or is it may? Or is it when is Cinco demayo?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
May fifth is Monday?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay? May fifth is Monday, So Cinco de Mayo is Monday,
which means next Thursday as the last day of the
legislative session, right correct? Okay, So what up with the
Curtis Loftis anything? Well, it looks like probably nothing. Okay.
You've got just a handful of days left of the
session and you know there's still a lot to get done,
(03:27):
and it doesn't look like, at least in the house,
I are they're gonna spend too much time dealing with
the Curtis's loftis issue. For now, they've got other things,
other fish to fry, So we'll update you on that.
Brian Sterling officially sworn in as the interim US Attorney
for South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That'll be permanent.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
That that will be permanent soon. That that, you know,
he has to be you know, put up by the President.
That's gonna happen. They're doing, and the investigation continues on
in Myrtle Beach. Three officers now been placed on paid
leave as they continue to investigate that weekend shooting that
killed Benetsville, eighteen year old in an incident that happened
(04:07):
to just before midnight on Saturday night. Still a lot
of questions about that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So what are we hearing that there was somebody shooting
in a crowd and the officer pulled a gun on
the crowd. Is that is that what it sounds like?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, one individual started firing a weapon. This is according
to the police release at that time, based on the
immediate threat. One of our officers responded by discharging their firearm. Okay, well,
now was the man who was killed. Was he the
one shooting into the crowd or not? I mean, there's
a lot of questions still over what happened there Calhoun County.
(04:43):
I've been hearing from all the good folks over in
Calhoun County for the last well number of months, and
they were out in full force last night and not
happy with their county leaders. After Calhoun County approved a
property tax increase to to fund new firefighting positions. The
argument has been, well, they're volunteer fire departments getting the
(05:04):
job done, and there are all sorts of things like
if we have a volunteer fireman try to show up
for a fire, they could be arrested, and all this
kind of stuff going on here. Well, people who were
showing up to these you know, public meetings were not
happy with this plan at all, but their leaders were
not listening. But I've been hearing an earfull from some
(05:25):
of our friends over in Callivin County over this. The
state is a post, they say. This New Jersey woman
Jamie Kamarowski who hit and killed the bride of Samantha
Miller on her wedding night. She was sentenced to well
(05:46):
twenty five years in prison after pleading guilty to reckless homicide.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
This was the golf court. This is a golf part
on Folly Beach. Yeah, her sentence one of the strictest
that's been handed out for a conviction like that, and
her attorneys want the courts to reconsider that sentence. The
state says, no, we're opposed to that. One hundred days
of Trump and he will be speaking today in Michigan
(06:13):
and expected to announce a decision to reduce the impact
of tariffs on automakers. And I remember the UAW they
are thrilled with all this because one of the things
that's doing is bringing jobs back to places like Detroit
and the auto industry. We've had a couple of announcements already, Hyundai,
Honda moving manufacturing facilities back to the States. So the
(06:36):
President will be there celebrating one hundred days today with that. Yesterday,
as we mentioned, it was an early morning press or
while we were on the air, and executive orders further
cracking down on sanctuary cities and threatening their federal funding.
And I'm sure the lawsuits have already been drawn up,
if not yet filed over this.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
See where that goes. Liberals continuing to be unhinged over
the Wisconsin judge who was arrested by the FBI for
allegedly protecting an illegal alien from ice. Now, another Wisconsin
judge says she's playing a protest by boycotting her duties
in the court room. Fine, fire, but you can't go
(07:19):
on a strike if you're a judge. Come on. Oh well, okay,
And you know it's remember when remember all the times
when Republican leaders said things like we want mass protests
and disruption and mobilization. Remember all those times when that
never happened. Well, this is, of course what the liberals do.
(07:41):
And JB. Pritzker, the Democrat leftist Illinois governor, declaring over
the weekend Republicans could not know a moment of peace
calling for just that mass protests, mobilization and disruption. Yeah,
you'all just don't play well with the other side, do you.
Oh and by the way, you've got a Democrat now
in Michigan who has introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump. Again. Yeah,
(08:06):
we go again. But we've already we've already been here
because remember what was it, sixteen days into his term? You, oh,
what's his name down in Texas? Al Green? Yeah, Al
Green call at least called for Trump's impeachment sixteen days
into his term. Okay, well, this is what they do
(08:27):
up in the Great White North. The Canadians apparently have
overwhelmingly voted in Mark Carney's Liberal Party. Done a lot
of talk about that with the tariffs and the fifty
first eight and all that Canadians would the backlash, would
we would keep liberals in power? And it looks like
that's exactly what's happened. And why do the lights go out?
(08:47):
The mystery in Spain and Portugal where I mean just
the lights just went out. Was it a cyber attack?
Was it something else? Were their problems with the grid?
And why did it take so long to get him
back on? I don't want to go the all back
on yet. I think about half of Spain as the
last I finally had power restored. So a lot of
questions there, and well let's see what is this is today?
(09:09):
I'm not sure, but anyway, get the get the dressing out,
because Kamala Harris is set to give her first major speech. Yeah,
it'll be tomorrow in San Francisco. Oh, I can't wait.
So you get you might need the big bubble dressing
for this word salad. It'll all be about Trump apparently,
all right, friends, we'll get to that. More coming up
on this. It is the Tuesday morning edition of Columbia's
(09:29):
Morning News, and it is fabulous to have you with us.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Your morning news, getting ready for work and all day.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
In fault and check in throughout the day.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
One on three point five FM and five sixty am
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM
and five sixty am w VOC.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I get to have you with us on a Tuesday.
It's the twenty ninth and April time now six forty three.
So I'm reading this opinion piece in the Daily Caller
this morning by Natalie's said of all, well, this headline
why are so many Democrats okay with killing Trump? One
poll has the answer. Let's just stop there for a second.
You remember there was this poll. We mentioned it a
(10:15):
couple of weeks ago, that this was from Rutgers that
fifty five point two percent of Democrats believe that murdering
the president of the United States was justified. Before we
even get to that number, I think we should ask
the question, why would any polster even think about putting
(10:40):
out a poll? Like this.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I'd be worried about the Secret Service coming after me
if I asked that question.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Exactly who thought it was? Who would even dream up
I'll tell you what. Let's do a poll and let's
find out how many people think it's okay to assassinate
the president. I'm sorry? What? Well? That was Rutger's University?
(11:10):
Who who commissioned that poll? This is this is a
poll that should never have been put out, and then
should have never seen the line of e to begin with.
I don't recall any other polling outfit asking that question
(11:31):
for any other president of these United States of America.
But since it's Trump, it's okay, I guess. So that's
problem number one. Problem number two obviously, that fifty five
point two percent of Democrats said that, yeah, murdering Donald
Trump is justified. Okay, do you want to do it yourself?
(12:00):
So Sandoval writes his piece and says, yeah, okay, Well,
well why are so many Democrats okay with killing Trump?
One Pole has the answer, Well, she's referring to a
to an online survey from ras Musen. Now number one,
I have an issue with online surveys. They're they're not random,
they're not you know, the samples. It's you can't control.
(12:23):
It's online surveys, well in any poles these days are
at at at at best questionable when their results, but
online surveys are the worst. Maybe go on there, that
doesn't matter. But anyway, but in this uh ras Museen
online survey report, nearly three quarters of people who answered
(12:48):
the question and identified as Democrats say they believe that
Trump is a fascist dictator. There was a they did
some national or some telephone poll against too. Okay, that
makes a little bit better. So the question was to
over a thousand likely voters if they agreed or disagreed
with this statement, we live in a fascist dictatorship. That's
(13:10):
what's happening right now. We are in the constitutional crisis
right now. Do you agree with that statement? And yeah,
Democrats almost three out of four. Yeah, that's where we are.
I mean, how do you what leads you to believe that?
Aside from your Democrat leaders and your Democrat media saying
(13:34):
this over and over and over again the whole you know, yeah,
I know, you know, some some some media have kind
of seen the light, not many and not much light.
You know, We've had all these social media platform owners
(13:55):
and CEOs started, you know, budding up to Trump, but
not really. This is still who they are, This is
still what they do. The the online radicalization of this country.
And again kind of like we mentioned earlier about jab Pritzker,
(14:16):
the Illinois governor, not letting Republicans have a moment of rest,
mass protests, mobilization, disruption. This is where the left is today.
So the question becomes, when when you get when you
when you build that extreme as a party, how do
we ever think that we get ever? Or maybe we
(14:38):
don't want to get back to a day when the
two sides could at least to some degree work together,
uh to to better the lives of American citizens? Is
it at all? Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Is it even possible anymore? It's possible. Sadly, it would
probably take a tragedy, a national tragedy like a nine
to eleven to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
We've we've seen the healing power of those types of
tragedies before. But I'm not sure anything short of that
does bring this country back together.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I don't think it does. And apparently, let's say there
were let's let's say that that President Trump were to
be assassinated based on this Rutgers's poll, there'd be fifty
five point two percent of Democrats who would would would
be jumping for joy, would be celebrating the moment. How
wrong is that? You have some serious soul search needs
(15:34):
to be done. This is where the Democrat leadership, this
is where you have led your voters to. This is
the this is the spot now that you've taken them too,
the blood would be on your hands.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Fifteen after seven o'clock. Good morning for Tuesday, April but
twenty ninth. We appreciate you being here. I am Gary David,
he is Christopher Thompson. Good morning, and you are you
and we appreciate you. Thank you so much. All Right,
So April's just about done, sine die is just a
week and a couple of days away. Right, So typically
(16:22):
the State House works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And having said that,
you got six working days left in this session to
get things done, and there's a lot still to get done.
So in the midst of all this, it would appear though,
as time is on his side, him being Cardis Loftis
(16:44):
the state treasurer.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, the House doesn't even have to slow walk this,
which it sounds like they wanted to do. But they
don't even have to do that because they've got too
much on their plate right now even worry about Loftus's future.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now, And as far as you know, coming back after well,
there's been an agreement now, it's been in place that
well a after May eighth, which is the final day
of the regular session, anything they come back to do
(17:17):
is limited to just one thing, and that's the budget
as it always is, unless they agree, unless they agree
with a two thirds vote on both sides to change
that amendment. So sure of that, you know, the only
thing they come back for is to work on the budget.
I would be hard pressed to believe that after May
the eighth that you get to gin up two thirds
(17:39):
vote in both chambers to come back to discuss the
Curtis Loftess issue. I could be wrong, but I don't
see that as happening. It's been eight days now since
the Senate voted to remove a Loftus eight days, and yeah,
you're right that the House is well, the House has
got some things to try to tie up peer a
(18:01):
number of things. Scholarships, accounts for private school vouchers not done,
liquor liability not done. Oh, an energy legislation kind of important,
not done, and of course the budget, which is never
(18:24):
done by the end of the regular session. They always
come back afterwards to wrap that up. So when you've
got six working days left and you got issues like
that ahead of yeah, yeah, the House doesn't seem to
be putting a whole lot of emphasis on dealing with
the Curtis loft his issue, even the House majority of
ly to David Hyatt saying, we've got a lot on
(18:45):
the agenda, we've got to get it done, and this
wasn't one of the things that we prioritized two weeks ago. Now,
loftus says he's had assurances from House leadership that they
would not take the issue up.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
But he wants to go on the record and say, yeah,
it was me that told him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Right now, and he's not saying who it was that
he that he spoke to. Okay, it doesn't really matter.
I mean, it's no done at the point, there's no
time point.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Is the schedules working in his favor at this point,
and nobody on the House has to go on the
record and say we don't want to tackle this because
we don't feel like Curtis Loftus is deserving of this,
or we don't feel like he should be remoten.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
They don't have to put their opinion on the record. No,
all they have to do is say, we set our priorities.
You know, before the Senate acted on this. Our priorities
are this, this, and this. They were clearly laid out
before this Loftist decision was ever made by the Senate.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right, and on another issue, I don't know how in
six working days left now again take the budget out
of it, because they'll come back to finish that up.
That's that's why they always do things. And this amendment
allows him, of course to continue to do that. But
how in the world you deal with you know, these
private school vouchers and liquor liability and energy in six
(20:05):
working days here, I don't know how that happens. But
they're going to attempt to try to do that. So
now the question becomes, all right, will they even take
it up in January? Well, the sentence vote is already
on record. Will the House take it up in January?
Knowing now that Curtis Loft as has already said he's
going to run for reelection again, and considering that the
(20:29):
well again, when it comes to a state wide office
election in South Carolina, that first Tuesday in November doesn't
mean anything, all right, It's that first Tuesday in June
during their in the primary session, you know, five months
(20:49):
five or less months removed from a primary. Does the
House want to take up a vote to bounce him
out with that little time I'm left before the primary?
And quite honestly, as far as Corus Loft is concerned,
he's he may be looking at this as he Yeah,
this is the same thing they try to do to Trump,
(21:10):
and look what happened.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
He's been following that playbook anyway, So wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Right, And if the House were to vote along with
the Senates or movement of Mosses office, how did the
voters respond to that? Because again, as we've talked about
so often, you know, I kind of dumb it down.
But unfortunately for some voters that has to be dumbed down,
you know, and all they see is I'm not sure,
(21:39):
I understand what happened here. We didn't lose any money, right, Okay,
So what's the big deal? Well, it is a big deal.
I mean it's it's brought the scrutiny of the Securities
Exchange Commission down on us. It could you know, hamper
our bond rating, which is not good for any of us.
Now the state's got to pay higher interest rates to
(22:00):
borrow money. That's not good. That all gets passed down
to you and me. But uh, you know the bigger
scheme of things, Well, would voter see this is Oh
there's some shenanigans going on over there at that state House. Man,
you didn't actually lose them any money. What's the big deal? So?
Uh uh, it would be well unbelievable to think that
(22:30):
that the House is going to take this up. The
Remember initially they were after the Senate voted, the House
was like, well, you know, the Senate's like, hey, we've
already done all the hard work before we did the
heavy lifting. Just take what we've done, okay and vote.
I was like, well, we're not sure we would do
it that way anyway. We might have to look into
it ourselves here.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yeah, Larry Grims has said. You've got the reports. They're detailed,
they're footnoted, everything is laid out for you. All you
have to do is look at it and vote.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Take our word for it. Yeah, yeah, Now that never happens.
No way, that never happens. I don't care what the
topic is. That doesn't happen. It's not the way things work.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And again, all this is benefiting Curtis Loft is absolutely yeah,
time is on his side. Celebrities who know not a
darn thing other than you know, singing and dancing on stage,
Klay Travis and Buck Sexton.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
One on three point five FM and five sixty am
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM
and five sixty am w VOC.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And good morning to you this seven forty two. It's Tuesday,
April twenty ninth. By the way, little le dendum, so
that the traffic up date with Mills. We gotta just
got a talkback from a listener. We appreciate, always appreciate
the talkbacks. Uh northbound side is seventy seven fort Jackson
exit off the ramp at that exit there, truck on fire.
(23:55):
Apparently police are there, fire trucks not yet. Doesn't appear
to be long traffic yet, he says, but there's at
least a minor slowdown that could get worse. So heads
up northbound side of seventy seven to four Jackson exit
truck on fire. Okay, keep an eye on it. Speaking
of fire, that has been a hot topic in Calhoun
(24:17):
County now for a while, particularly for folks of the
Sandy Run area. And we've got a lot of folks
over there who listen to this program on a regular basis,
and we appreciate that, and they have been keeping me
up today. I'm getting on YouTube, video links and all
sorts of information. The Sandy Run News has been hitting
us up on this now for quite some time. Calhoun
(24:38):
County Council voted last night to approve a property tax
increase to fund new firefighting positions. The rub has been
at least for some residents. The folks I've been hearing from,
especially in the Sandy Run area, that they were quite
(24:58):
happy with the setup they had all righty. They had
volunteer firefighters who they say were doing the job, getting
it done, and they were upset not just about a
potential property tax increase, but perceived heavy handedness from county
council when it comes to this. An ordinance that was
passed changed how volunteer firefighters operate. And the ordinance says,
(25:25):
if you're a volunteer firefighter in Calhoun County and you
don't sign a contract with a county by the end
of June. But if you don't sign that contract, but
you continue to operate as a volunteer firefighter and respond
to calls, you could actually be fined and actually be jailed.
(25:46):
And this, needless to say, rubbed a bunch of people
the wrong way. So this new measure that they passed
in Calhoun County eliminates the existing fire taxing districts and
puts them in one county wide district. They say the
additional revenue from taxes will fund one administrative position in
(26:07):
four full time firefighter roles. Right now, all county fire
stations are a staff by volunteers. So in some parts
of Calhoun County they're not that terribly upset with this.
For example, certain districts may see their tax bills actually
go down a little bit. Some of those owner of
(26:30):
a one hundred thousand dollars property would see the taxes
go from about eighty bucks a year down to about
seventy two. But in particular, the folks in the Sandy
Run area have been hopping mad that same one hundred
thousand dollars property in Sandy Run would see their current
taxes go from sixteen dollars and eighty cents a month
(26:50):
a year rather to seventy two. Okay, this is an
annual This is not a month. This is an annual tax.
I realize it's I mean, it's from less than seventeen
bucks to seventy two. Gets your attention. But all in all,
what I have heard from the folks, especially those in
Sandy Run and these meetings have been combustible. Needless to say,
(27:18):
there's it's been a lot of shouting, a lot of
back and forth, and a lot of folks who've attended
these meetings who were against this, who say that the
county leaders are just not paying attention, they're not listening
to their voices. The only member of county councilsho voted
against this was a councilwoman who represents you guessed of
(27:43):
the Sandy Run area. She was against us for all
obvious reasons, but it's just a you know, regardless of
the topic, and okay, you don't live in County County,
you don't care, but it's kind of that that broader sense.
Then we hear this from so many people. You show
up to these meetings and it's like, why do I
even bother? The issue has already been decided. You don't
(28:06):
feel like your voice matters? Yeah, yeah, no, and not
listening to me. They're not responding to me. And if
I get too vociferous here, they're gonna boot me out,
which is, you know, not the way that ought to
be done. So you know a lot of folks over
there and that neck of the woods are just feeling
like that this morning.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And there have been a number of these meetings and
every time they have one, I get the same feedback
from folks who are unhappy with this decision, that they're
not listening to us. Well, at least for Sandy Run residents.
Your councilwoman did listen to you, but she couldn't convince
the rest. So, yeah, this is what we have elections for.
(28:49):
But considering the fact that so many of these districts
will see their property tax actually go out a little bit.
You might bet that some of those same council members,
well we'll be back again. Well we'll see again. Bigger
picture is these elected council members. Do they really listen
(29:11):
to you?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM on five sixty AM w VOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson at.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Fifteen a halfter eight o'clock. And by the way, I
have it on good authority. The special guests they're referring
to on Clay and Buck today is Vice President JD. Vance.
Trump's gonna be busy today. He's you know, he's in
Michigan talking to in the land of US onomobile production,
where they're pretty happy with it right now. They actually
(29:46):
like all this. They like the tariff stuff. They like
to bring in the jobs back. I mean, who can't
like bringing jobs back? We just have to get past
the tariff stuff first. But Vance is expected to be
on now. We don't know what time yet, so be
sure to tune into twelve o six or just stay two.
Who dead no reason to go anywhere? I was, you
know originally, Yeah, the JD. Vance pick, I was I
(30:09):
wasn't quite sure what to make of that. Uh. And yeah,
it's just still early on and the jury is still out.
But you know, I'm liking what I'm seeing from Vance.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I think the philosophies in this administration are in the
right place. I think some of the execution has been
a little rough around the edge of.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
There have been a few spots where that has been
that has been the case. Why am I seeing a
picture of Pete hegxath right now in my head when
you say that. Yeah, and that's with any administration. But yeah,
some of it's been a little kind of needs to
be rained in a bed. But so so. Trump will
speak today and the word is he's expected to announce
(30:52):
that he will be reducing the impacts of tariffs on
automakers when he speaks today in Michigan, UH, saying the
decision follows the auto industry's goodwill efforts to move manufacturing
back to the US. We've talked about this. You had Hyundai,
you had Honda, others are talking about it manufacturing at
(31:15):
least parts of it back into the United States, which
is again, you know, this is the second part of
this strategy here. So it looks like there will be
some moves made to reduce the impact of those tariffs
when it comes to automakers. And then of course the
price that we all pay. Here's the end user here,
(31:40):
that twenty five percent tariff on all imported passenger vehicles
has benefit in effect this month, and of course concerns
that this would, you know, raise prices to a point
was what were the numbers we had a couple of
weeks ago to if it was that the median price
of a new car in this country was something like
forty eight thousand dollars. It was pretty high, yeah, and
that they were expecting the impact of tariffs would raise
(32:04):
that median price up to about sixty two thousand dollars. Well,
that's a yeah. A lot of people can't go there,
so I for one, wouldn't go there.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I mean, come on, So you saw the mad dash
to the car dealers as everybody tries to beat the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
The pre tariff pricing. Yes, yes, but that may not
be quite the issue that it was expected to be.
Now yesterday, and we mentioned this while we were on
the air, because it was unusual that the White House
would be holding a press conference at eight thirty in
the morning, but they were yesterday, Caroline Levin and Tom Holman.
The borders are. We're holding court and so the executive
(32:42):
order coming down. Trump is doubling down on these sanctuary cities.
Quite simple, says Levitt. A Bay law, respect the law
and dunn obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement affits
that are simply trying to remove public safety threats from
(33:03):
our nation's communities. This has been one of the highlights,
regardless of all the the blowback you get from the
left on you know, Abrego Garcia and such, and a
two year old deported, and now the latest, of course,
the arrest and dragging off this this judge in Milwaukee
(33:27):
in handcuffs for well, what breaking the law? When you
got judges blatantly breaking the law, I mean, you can't
just let that go. But aside from that, as far
as polling is concerned, this has been the highlight. Interestingly,
(33:48):
enough of the numbers don't lie the initial Remember the
promise was there'd be millions of people deported, mass deportation.
This is what Trump, in his own words said back
(34:09):
last August. It hasn't really been that way. There has
not been a big jump in immigrants deported. Since Trump
took office, there have been no mass deportations. A matter
of fact, the number show that removals or behind the
levels of the Biden administration. Huh. Well that's interesting, isn't
(34:35):
it for this president who gets so much grief for
deporting people. Joe Biden deported more. Of course, you got
a you know kind of that was four years versus
you know, three months here. So but when you average
it all out, that's kind of what it comes down to. Well,
what's the difference here, Well, maybe a couple things. Number One,
(34:57):
nobody's coming in right now.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
That's the biggest difference is the border feels closed now.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yes, and for all intents and purposes it is closed,
So you've got fewer people to deep a lot of. Again,
during the Biden a lot of the deportations were for
folks who had just crossed the border, you know, recently,
and guess what you knew where they were. You maybe
had them detained somewhere on the Southwest border and you
(35:24):
send them back across. Well, you know, we don't have
that problem right now. Thanks to Trump's policies, in just
one hundred short days, the border has been for all
intents and purposes sealed. And number two, what's the focus been.
While the left wants you to think that they're out
there rooting out you know, anybody and everybody that's here
(35:46):
illegally and sending them back, the focus has been on, well,
what we saw in Colorado Springs the other night, right,
the big bust of that nightclub infested with gang members
from Trendo Argua and MS thirteen. That's been the focus,
which was exactly what the President said the focus would
be initially, and that was to get the criminal element,
(36:09):
those here illegally and committing crimes in this country, to
get them the heck out of here. And that's what's
been happening now. I don't know that the individual in
Milwaukee that this Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was trying
(36:30):
to shield, you know, I do on the background of
that individual of this was an alleged gang member or whatever.
I just know this. He was a Mexican national and
he'd been charged with three counts of battery. Okay, stop
stop for a second, all right. If eduardro Flores Ruiz
(36:54):
was a legal US citizen in Judge Dugan's courtroom, chars
with three counts of battery. Would Dugan have done what
she did because this guy is not a US citizen
and is not here illegally. Would she have escorted him
out the jury tour to try to avoid copsick. No,
(37:20):
she has left the administration with no choice but to
arrest her and make a make a make an example
out of her. Well, now you've got another judge in Wisconsin,
another circuit court judge, Monica Eesham, saying she'd stop hearing
court cases in order to avoid putting her staff or
(37:44):
herself in harm's way if they were called to do
the same as Dugan did.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
What that doesn't make any sense, none at all. So
she's going to stop doing her job because she's afraid
her job might make her do something illegal.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because she's afraid that the FEDS might show up and
try to uh to apprehend somebody she's trying to protect.
And then in the in the in the midst of it,
she's she's giving the impression that Ice is gonna come
with guns blazing and that the judge and all her
staff might wind up dead on the floor because the
government's coming after him.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But at the same time she's suggesting she can't do
her job without doing something illegal.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Right exactly. So guess what, just stop doing your job,
turn in your robe, go home. That's I think that's
the only the only option here. This is this is
just this is lunacy, man, total lunacy.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's the stuff people are talking about and call them
out by the bad evan like you doing right now
one on three point five FM and five sixty AM
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM,
(39:00):
MAN five sixty AM WVOC.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Height thirty nine. All Right, our final thoughts here for
a Tuesday morning. In our final few minutes with you,
we'll start here at home in the Low Country, where
the state and needless to say, the family of Samantha
Miller are both strongly opposed, firmly and uniformly opposed to
an appeal by Jamie Kamarowski for a lighter prison sentence.
(39:24):
Now you'll remember this story. Jamie Kamarowski was driving way
over the limit, way too fast on our road and
Fowley Beach slammed in the back of a golf cart,
taking the life of a Samantha Miller who had just
(39:46):
and I was looking at this picture this morning. I
mean she was just married. I looked at that picture.
The farthest thing from her imagination was within an hour
or so, she'd be dead. Now, you may recall the
Kamarowski got a twenty seven year sentence or twenty five
(40:08):
year sentence. She's twenty seven. She got twenty five year sentence.
She did plead guilty to reckless homicide, felling dui and
falling death, and two counts of felling dui with great
bodily injury. Her sentence was one of the strictest out
of anybody who's been convicted of felling dui in the
Charleston area in the past ten years. That, according to Emotion,
(40:31):
filed to reconsider the sentencing by her attorneys, saying that
the decision of the court and the judge was grossly
desperate compared to other offenders sins. The state says differently,
Now you recall part of the issue here was is
(40:53):
that after this incident, remember, Kamarowski was like, well, what
did I do wrong? Just let me go home, remember,
and then just just some behavior that indicated she didn't
understand what she had just done, entitled behavior entitled behavior. Yeah,
(41:17):
and that didn't sit well with.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
The judge conversations with family members.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
So no, obviously the family is like no. Well the
state is like no as well. I mean, this was
this was just this was a tragedy, unspeakable tragedy. And
the fact that at least initially she showed no remorse
at all for it was not helpful to her cause.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
By the way, that every time this topic comes up,
Frank hits us on talkback and says, by Frank, reminder,
this is illegal. You are not allowed to operate a
golf cart at night on any road in South Carolina.
And that is true. There is a law in the
books that says that very thing. I think everybody realizes.
And you know, Folly Beach has addressed that since then,
(42:06):
trying to come up with something, but they've accepted the
fact that, you know, it's a part of living down there,
and there are certain communities where golf carts are everywhere.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
And remember this is what I got. Twenty five mile
an hour speed limit on that road. Yeah, and Kamarowski
was going with like sixty.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
So what do you do do you do you firmly
uphold the law or do you simply say, all right,
let's be realistic and let's at least if people are
going to do it, let's make it safe.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Well, in this case, I would say, what's the bigger
crime here? Have your golf cart on the road at night? Yeah,
or being way over the limit drunk and slamming in
the back of that golf cart and killing somebody.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Right, all the safety rules in the world wouldn't have
stopped that.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
No, No, meantime up the road in Myrtle Beach. Questions
still lingering, and they will probably for a while. As
was investigating that shooting over the weekend that left an
eighteen year old dead. Again, officer involved shooting still a
bit murky as to what happened. The release from the
(43:07):
for the authorities. During the altercation, one individual began firing
a weapon based on the immediate threat, when of our
officers discharged responded by discharging their firearm. Now, whether or
not the whoever was the shooter was the one who
was shot, I don't know that we know that yet,
(43:27):
but we do know that what eleven people were injured.
This is this again. You know, when that story first
came out, the headlines almost made it look like, you know,
one dead, eleven injured in police involved shooting. As though
the cops shot twelve people, that's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And with it being in this high pro profiling area
as it is, I assume there are cameras there.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Well, you got to think that we're all over the place.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
I mean, between the city itself and all those hotels.
I would think there would be footage of this some
way that they're reviewing.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah, you would think. Congratulations to Brian Sterling is the
Thomas mentioned of the update. He has been named the
interim US Attorney for South Carolina. That interim will come
off sometime soon, I'm sure, as he was sworn in
yesterday as interim. He was appointed by a PAMBONDI. This
(44:19):
leaves some shoes to fill.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, he's been some large shoes correction the department for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Be interesting to see who who gets tapped for that position.
That's a very important one needslet's say, and again, the
things he's done, I mean, Brian Sterling is not a
guy who just said, Okay, you're not going to let
me do this. Never mind, when it comes to jamming
cell phone signals and prisons, the f SEC would still
to this day not allow it inexplicably, so sterling, you know,
(44:52):
look for ways around all that. It has been somewhat
successful in doing just that. So hats off to him
for that. And sure we'll do a terrific job. And
this new We were talking about this earlier this morning.
You know again, can we ever get to a time
when the two sides can at least agree on something
in this country? It seems more and more unlikely. And
(45:16):
what's the end what's the end result you're looking for?
When folks like JB. Pritzker, the Illinois Democrat governor, said
over the weekend that Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,
calling for mass protests, mobilization, disruption against Trump and his administration.
(45:39):
Let's see, we must castigate them on the soap box
and then punish them at the ballot box. We will
never join so many Republicans in the special place in
Hell reserve for quizzlings and cowards. We will relegate their
portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traders.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Wow, man, all right, I had to look up quizzling,
thank you, because I was a trader who collaborates with
an enemy force. Occupying their country.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Well, we had a quizling and Joe Biden then, right,
maybe you think about the wrong people here of Pritzker.
I think that's the Democrat Party, not the Republican Party,
not the Trump administration. Of course, this is part of
the course for the Democrats. You know, Maxine Waters back
(46:33):
in twenty eighteen told people to harass members of Trump's administration.
I mean, this is I was just gonna say this
is juvenile behavior, but it's dangerous behavior very day. You know,
here we go, it'll be summer before you know, are
we going to see another summer of hate courtesy of
the left. It seems to be an annual occurrence. And
(46:56):
you got folks like Pritzker. No, he's calling for it,
out and out, calling for it. And then you know,
of course, you know this was going to happen sooner
or later, a Democrat from Michigan introducing seven articles of
impeachment against Trump. Here we go. Now, of course this
is academic, right now, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress,
(47:17):
but you know, why not go ahead and do it anyway? Right?
Seven articles of impeachment? Now, it doesn't hurt that this
guy thin Nadar is facing a lot of primary challenges
because you know, he's from Michigan with a heavy Muslim population,
and he's been supporting Israel. Ah, yeah, there's that up north.
(47:40):
The Liberal Canadians stayed that way as Mark Carney's Liberal
Party won Canada's federal elections yesterday. Actually, uh, you know,
for a while there it looked like the more conservative
branches might make some gains, and then well the tariff
thing happened, and the talk of the fifty first eight
thing happened, and well the end product was worlds continue
(48:00):
to rule. And what caused the lights to go out
in Spain and Portugal? Well there's two countries where the
lights just went out bam, And it's taken a long
time to get him back on I. And is this
a grid issue? Well, there have been grid problems uh
across the EU. They've been wanting to change some of
(48:23):
their connections and all. But it that hadn't happened yet,
is it, Dad? Is it a cyber attack? That was
that's the go It's always gonna be the original concerns
a cyber attack. Well they say it wasn't, but well,
who knows. Get out the big bottle of dressing is
Kamala Harris tomorrow will take a jab at Trump and
a keynote express e spread dress that is at the
(48:46):
Emerged Gala. Her first public remarks is leaving office. Get
ready for the big words salad tonight tonight tomorrow night.
This would this should be good.
Speaker 4 (48:56):
She'll she better enjoy it because this is the first
your speech back, right?
Speaker 3 (49:01):
This is it? Yes?
Speaker 4 (49:02):
After this, attention is likely to die pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yes, because go ahead and float away into oblivion. And
it looks like this this may now be the all
time flop for Disney snow White, as its box office
run is nearly over. You remember the snow White controversy
and the result forty two million dollar opening weekend dropped
sixty six percent, and weekend number two. It even worse
(49:30):
after that, and now it's pretty much out of theaters. Yes,
go woke, go broke.
Hoorr Jesus, sufr hell Y Saint America and Jerry Hollen
for REGUSA one Nation. On your lie in your nas
and this is wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:20):

few nights have just been.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I got to tell you, Anne has been just like
suddenly she turned into like like like landscape or extraordinary

she's so much. She just loves doing that kind of stuff.
I mean, we could pitch a ten in the backyard

weather for it. So now I get home and she's like, oh, no,
(01:34):

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh wow, kick up your feet and just do a
beautiful work back there.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Wow. And boy once when she allowed me to come
to the backyard last night, then you know, it's like, okay,
we set out by the pool and just enjoyed the
the wonderful weather.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Just beautiful and it hasn't gotten too terribly buggy yet.
Well no, I probably just jinxed it. But that'll that'll happen.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Unless you know, like you know, I have people like
you know, Mosquito Joe like I have. No, that's not
a commercial. It's just don't just use them, use them

Trump first one hundred days. Today marks that day, and
I I hate to scoop the guys, but I can

the Vice President will be on with those guys got
(02:44):
tipped off to that last night run down, Big Stories,
Hot topics. Well, let's see here, it's the twenty ninth
of April, so you get through this week. Monday is
what May.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Fourth?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Or is it may? Or is it when is Cinco demayo?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
May fifth is Monday?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay? May fifth is Monday, So Cinco de Mayo is Monday,
which means next Thursday as the last day of the
legislative session, right correct? Okay, So what up with the
Curtis Loftis anything? Well, it looks like probably nothing. Okay.
You've got just a handful of days left of the
session and you know there's still a lot to get done,
(03:27):
and it doesn't look like, at least in the house,
I are they're gonna spend too much time dealing with
the Curtis's loftis issue. For now, they've got other things,
other fish to fry, So we'll update you on that.
Brian Sterling officially sworn in as the interim US Attorney
for South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That'll be permanent.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
That that will be permanent soon. That that, you know,
he has to be you know, put up by the President.
That's gonna happen. They're doing, and the investigation continues on
in Myrtle Beach. Three officers now been placed on paid
leave as they continue to investigate that weekend shooting that
killed Benetsville, eighteen year old in an incident that happened
(04:07):
to just before midnight on Saturday night. Still a lot
of questions about that.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
So what are we hearing that there was somebody shooting
in a crowd and the officer pulled a gun on
the crowd. Is that is that what it sounds like?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, one individual started firing a weapon. This is according
to the police release at that time, based on the
immediate threat. One of our officers responded by discharging their firearm. Okay, well,
now was the man who was killed. Was he the
one shooting into the crowd or not? I mean, there's
a lot of questions still over what happened there Calhoun County.
(04:43):
I've been hearing from all the good folks over in
Calhoun County for the last well number of months, and
they were out in full force last night and not
happy with their county leaders. After Calhoun County approved a
property tax increase to to fund new firefighting positions. The
argument has been, well, they're volunteer fire departments getting the
(05:04):
job done, and there are all sorts of things like
if we have a volunteer fireman try to show up
for a fire, they could be arrested, and all this
kind of stuff going on here. Well, people who were
showing up to these you know, public meetings were not
happy with this plan at all, but their leaders were
not listening. But I've been hearing an earfull from some
(05:25):
of our friends over in Callivin County over this. The
state is a post, they say. This New Jersey woman
Jamie Kamarowski who hit and killed the bride of Samantha
Miller on her wedding night. She was sentenced to well
(05:46):
twenty five years in prison after pleading guilty to reckless homicide.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
This was the golf court. This is a golf part
on Folly Beach. Yeah, her sentence one of the strictest
that's been handed out for a conviction like that, and
her attorneys want the courts to reconsider that sentence. The
state says, no, we're opposed to that. One hundred days
of Trump and he will be speaking today in Michigan
(06:13):
and expected to announce a decision to reduce the impact
of tariffs on automakers. And I remember the UAW they
are thrilled with all this because one of the things
that's doing is bringing jobs back to places like Detroit
and the auto industry. We've had a couple of announcements already, Hyundai,
Honda moving manufacturing facilities back to the States. So the
(06:36):
President will be there celebrating one hundred days today with that. Yesterday,
as we mentioned, it was an early morning press or
while we were on the air, and executive orders further
cracking down on sanctuary cities and threatening their federal funding.
And I'm sure the lawsuits have already been drawn up,
if not yet filed over this.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
See where that goes. Liberals continuing to be unhinged over
the Wisconsin judge who was arrested by the FBI for
allegedly protecting an illegal alien from ice. Now, another Wisconsin
judge says she's playing a protest by boycotting her duties
in the court room. Fine, fire, but you can't go
(07:19):
on a strike if you're a judge. Come on. Oh well, okay,
And you know it's remember when remember all the times
when Republican leaders said things like we want mass protests
and disruption and mobilization. Remember all those times when that
never happened. Well, this is, of course what the liberals do.
(07:41):
And JB. Pritzker, the Democrat leftist Illinois governor, declaring over
the weekend Republicans could not know a moment of peace
calling for just that mass protests, mobilization and disruption. Yeah,
you'all just don't play well with the other side, do you.
Oh and by the way, you've got a Democrat now
in Michigan who has introduced seven articles of impeachment against Trump. Again. Yeah,
(08:06):
we go again. But we've already we've already been here
because remember what was it, sixteen days into his term? You, oh,
what's his name down in Texas? Al Green? Yeah, Al
Green call at least called for Trump's impeachment sixteen days
into his term. Okay, well, this is what they do
(08:27):
up in the Great White North. The Canadians apparently have
overwhelmingly voted in Mark Carney's Liberal Party. Done a lot
of talk about that with the tariffs and the fifty
first eight and all that Canadians would the backlash, would
we would keep liberals in power? And it looks like
that's exactly what's happened. And why do the lights go out?
(08:47):
The mystery in Spain and Portugal where I mean just
the lights just went out. Was it a cyber attack?
Was it something else? Were their problems with the grid?
And why did it take so long to get him
back on? I don't want to go the all back
on yet. I think about half of Spain as the
last I finally had power restored. So a lot of
questions there, and well let's see what is this is today?
(09:09):
I'm not sure, but anyway, get the get the dressing out,
because Kamala Harris is set to give her first major speech. Yeah,
it'll be tomorrow in San Francisco. Oh, I can't wait.
So you get you might need the big bubble dressing
for this word salad. It'll all be about Trump apparently,
all right, friends, we'll get to that. More coming up
on this. It is the Tuesday morning edition of Columbia's
(09:29):
Morning News, and it is fabulous to have you with us.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Your morning news, getting ready for work and all day.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
In fault and check in throughout the day.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
One on three point five FM and five sixty am
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM
and five sixty am w VOC.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I get to have you with us on a Tuesday.
It's the twenty ninth and April time now six forty three.
So I'm reading this opinion piece in the Daily Caller
this morning by Natalie's said of all, well, this headline
why are so many Democrats okay with killing Trump? One
poll has the answer. Let's just stop there for a second.
You remember there was this poll. We mentioned it a
(10:15):
couple of weeks ago, that this was from Rutgers that
fifty five point two percent of Democrats believe that murdering
the president of the United States was justified. Before we
even get to that number, I think we should ask
the question, why would any polster even think about putting
(10:40):
out a poll? Like this.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I'd be worried about the Secret Service coming after me
if I asked that question.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Exactly who thought it was? Who would even dream up
I'll tell you what. Let's do a poll and let's
find out how many people think it's okay to assassinate
the president. I'm sorry? What? Well? That was Rutger's University?
(11:10):
Who who commissioned that poll? This is this is a
poll that should never have been put out, and then
should have never seen the line of e to begin with.
I don't recall any other polling outfit asking that question
(11:31):
for any other president of these United States of America.
But since it's Trump, it's okay, I guess. So that's
problem number one. Problem number two obviously, that fifty five
point two percent of Democrats said that, yeah, murdering Donald
Trump is justified. Okay, do you want to do it yourself?
(12:00):
So Sandoval writes his piece and says, yeah, okay, Well,
well why are so many Democrats okay with killing Trump?
One Pole has the answer, Well, she's referring to a
to an online survey from ras Musen. Now number one,
I have an issue with online surveys. They're they're not random,
they're not you know, the samples. It's you can't control.
(12:23):
It's online surveys, well in any poles these days are
at at at at best questionable when their results, but
online surveys are the worst. Maybe go on there, that
doesn't matter. But anyway, but in this uh ras Museen
online survey report, nearly three quarters of people who answered
(12:48):
the question and identified as Democrats say they believe that
Trump is a fascist dictator. There was a they did
some national or some telephone poll against too. Okay, that
makes a little bit better. So the question was to
over a thousand likely voters if they agreed or disagreed
with this statement, we live in a fascist dictatorship. That's
(13:10):
what's happening right now. We are in the constitutional crisis
right now. Do you agree with that statement? And yeah,
Democrats almost three out of four. Yeah, that's where we are.
I mean, how do you what leads you to believe that?
Aside from your Democrat leaders and your Democrat media saying
(13:34):
this over and over and over again the whole you know, yeah,
I know, you know, some some some media have kind
of seen the light, not many and not much light.
You know, We've had all these social media platform owners
(13:55):
and CEOs started, you know, budding up to Trump, but
not really. This is still who they are, This is
still what they do. The the online radicalization of this country.
And again kind of like we mentioned earlier about jab Pritzker,
(14:16):
the Illinois governor, not letting Republicans have a moment of rest,
mass protests, mobilization, disruption. This is where the left is today.
So the question becomes, when when you get when you
when you build that extreme as a party, how do
we ever think that we get ever? Or maybe we
(14:38):
don't want to get back to a day when the
two sides could at least to some degree work together,
uh to to better the lives of American citizens? Is
it at all? Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Is it even possible anymore? It's possible. Sadly, it would
probably take a tragedy, a national tragedy like a nine
to eleven to do it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
We've we've seen the healing power of those types of
tragedies before. But I'm not sure anything short of that
does bring this country back together.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I don't think it does. And apparently, let's say there
were let's let's say that that President Trump were to
be assassinated based on this Rutgers's poll, there'd be fifty
five point two percent of Democrats who would would would
be jumping for joy, would be celebrating the moment. How
wrong is that? You have some serious soul search needs
(15:34):
to be done. This is where the Democrat leadership, this
is where you have led your voters to. This is
the this is the spot now that you've taken them too,
the blood would be on your hands.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Fifteen after seven o'clock. Good morning for Tuesday, April but
twenty ninth. We appreciate you being here. I am Gary David,
he is Christopher Thompson. Good morning, and you are you
and we appreciate you. Thank you so much. All Right,
So April's just about done, sine die is just a
week and a couple of days away. Right, So typically
(16:22):
the State House works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And having said that,
you got six working days left in this session to
get things done, and there's a lot still to get done.
So in the midst of all this, it would appear though,
as time is on his side, him being Cardis Loftis
(16:44):
the state treasurer.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, the House doesn't even have to slow walk this,
which it sounds like they wanted to do. But they
don't even have to do that because they've got too
much on their plate right now even worry about Loftus's future.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now, And as far as you know, coming back after well,
there's been an agreement now, it's been in place that
well a after May eighth, which is the final day
of the regular session, anything they come back to do
(17:17):
is limited to just one thing, and that's the budget
as it always is, unless they agree, unless they agree
with a two thirds vote on both sides to change
that amendment. So sure of that, you know, the only
thing they come back for is to work on the budget.
I would be hard pressed to believe that after May
the eighth that you get to gin up two thirds
(17:39):
vote in both chambers to come back to discuss the
Curtis Loftess issue. I could be wrong, but I don't
see that as happening. It's been eight days now since
the Senate voted to remove a Loftus eight days, and yeah,
you're right that the House is well, the House has
got some things to try to tie up peer a
(18:01):
number of things. Scholarships, accounts for private school vouchers not done,
liquor liability not done. Oh, an energy legislation kind of important,
not done, and of course the budget, which is never
(18:24):
done by the end of the regular session. They always
come back afterwards to wrap that up. So when you've
got six working days left and you got issues like
that ahead of yeah, yeah, the House doesn't seem to
be putting a whole lot of emphasis on dealing with
the Curtis loft his issue, even the House majority of
ly to David Hyatt saying, we've got a lot on
(18:45):
the agenda, we've got to get it done, and this
wasn't one of the things that we prioritized two weeks ago. Now,
loftus says he's had assurances from House leadership that they
would not take the issue up.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
But he wants to go on the record and say, yeah,
it was me that told him.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Right now, and he's not saying who it was that
he that he spoke to. Okay, it doesn't really matter.
I mean, it's no done at the point, there's no
time point.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Is the schedules working in his favor at this point,
and nobody on the House has to go on the
record and say we don't want to tackle this because
we don't feel like Curtis Loftus is deserving of this,
or we don't feel like he should be remoten.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
They don't have to put their opinion on the record. No,
all they have to do is say, we set our priorities.
You know, before the Senate acted on this. Our priorities
are this, this, and this. They were clearly laid out
before this Loftist decision was ever made by the Senate.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right, and on another issue, I don't know how in
six working days left now again take the budget out
of it, because they'll come back to finish that up.
That's that's why they always do things. And this amendment
allows him, of course to continue to do that. But
how in the world you deal with you know, these
private school vouchers and liquor liability and energy in six
(20:05):
working days here, I don't know how that happens. But
they're going to attempt to try to do that. So
now the question becomes, all right, will they even take
it up in January? Well, the sentence vote is already
on record. Will the House take it up in January?
Knowing now that Curtis Loft as has already said he's
going to run for reelection again, and considering that the
(20:29):
well again, when it comes to a state wide office
election in South Carolina, that first Tuesday in November doesn't
mean anything, all right, It's that first Tuesday in June
during their in the primary session, you know, five months
(20:49):
five or less months removed from a primary. Does the
House want to take up a vote to bounce him
out with that little time I'm left before the primary?
And quite honestly, as far as Corus Loft is concerned,
he's he may be looking at this as he Yeah,
this is the same thing they try to do to Trump,
(21:10):
and look what happened.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
He's been following that playbook anyway, So wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Right, And if the House were to vote along with
the Senates or movement of Mosses office, how did the
voters respond to that? Because again, as we've talked about
so often, you know, I kind of dumb it down.
But unfortunately for some voters that has to be dumbed down,
you know, and all they see is I'm not sure,
(21:39):
I understand what happened here. We didn't lose any money, right, Okay,
So what's the big deal? Well, it is a big deal.
I mean it's it's brought the scrutiny of the Securities
Exchange Commission down on us. It could you know, hamper
our bond rating, which is not good for any of us.
Now the state's got to pay higher interest rates to
(22:00):
borrow money. That's not good. That all gets passed down
to you and me. But uh, you know the bigger
scheme of things, Well, would voter see this is Oh
there's some shenanigans going on over there at that state House. Man,
you didn't actually lose them any money. What's the big deal? So?
Uh uh, it would be well unbelievable to think that
(22:30):
that the House is going to take this up. The
Remember initially they were after the Senate voted, the House
was like, well, you know, the Senate's like, hey, we've
already done all the hard work before we did the
heavy lifting. Just take what we've done, okay and vote.
I was like, well, we're not sure we would do
it that way anyway. We might have to look into
it ourselves here.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yeah, Larry Grims has said. You've got the reports. They're detailed,
they're footnoted, everything is laid out for you. All you
have to do is look at it and vote.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Take our word for it. Yeah, yeah, Now that never happens.
No way, that never happens. I don't care what the
topic is. That doesn't happen. It's not the way things work.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
And again, all this is benefiting Curtis Loft is absolutely yeah,
time is on his side. Celebrities who know not a
darn thing other than you know, singing and dancing on stage,
Klay Travis and Buck Sexton.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
One on three point five FM and five sixty am
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM
and five sixty am w VOC.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
And good morning to you this seven forty two. It's Tuesday,
April twenty ninth. By the way, little le dendum, so
that the traffic up date with Mills. We gotta just
got a talkback from a listener. We appreciate, always appreciate
the talkbacks. Uh northbound side is seventy seven fort Jackson
exit off the ramp at that exit there, truck on fire.
(23:55):
Apparently police are there, fire trucks not yet. Doesn't appear
to be long traffic yet, he says, but there's at
least a minor slowdown that could get worse. So heads
up northbound side of seventy seven to four Jackson exit
truck on fire. Okay, keep an eye on it. Speaking
of fire, that has been a hot topic in Calhoun
(24:17):
County now for a while, particularly for folks of the
Sandy Run area. And we've got a lot of folks
over there who listen to this program on a regular basis,
and we appreciate that, and they have been keeping me
up today. I'm getting on YouTube, video links and all
sorts of information. The Sandy Run News has been hitting
us up on this now for quite some time. Calhoun
(24:38):
County Council voted last night to approve a property tax
increase to fund new firefighting positions. The rub has been
at least for some residents. The folks I've been hearing from,
especially in the Sandy Run area, that they were quite
(24:58):
happy with the setup they had all righty. They had
volunteer firefighters who they say were doing the job, getting
it done, and they were upset not just about a
potential property tax increase, but perceived heavy handedness from county
council when it comes to this. An ordinance that was
passed changed how volunteer firefighters operate. And the ordinance says,
(25:25):
if you're a volunteer firefighter in Calhoun County and you
don't sign a contract with a county by the end
of June. But if you don't sign that contract, but
you continue to operate as a volunteer firefighter and respond
to calls, you could actually be fined and actually be jailed.
(25:46):
And this, needless to say, rubbed a bunch of people
the wrong way. So this new measure that they passed
in Calhoun County eliminates the existing fire taxing districts and
puts them in one county wide district. They say the
additional revenue from taxes will fund one administrative position in
(26:07):
four full time firefighter roles. Right now, all county fire
stations are a staff by volunteers. So in some parts
of Calhoun County they're not that terribly upset with this.
For example, certain districts may see their tax bills actually
go down a little bit. Some of those owner of
(26:30):
a one hundred thousand dollars property would see the taxes
go from about eighty bucks a year down to about
seventy two. But in particular, the folks in the Sandy
Run area have been hopping mad that same one hundred
thousand dollars property in Sandy Run would see their current
taxes go from sixteen dollars and eighty cents a month
(26:50):
a year rather to seventy two. Okay, this is an
annual This is not a month. This is an annual tax.
I realize it's I mean, it's from less than seventeen
bucks to seventy two. Gets your attention. But all in all,
what I have heard from the folks, especially those in
Sandy Run and these meetings have been combustible. Needless to say,
(27:18):
there's it's been a lot of shouting, a lot of
back and forth, and a lot of folks who've attended
these meetings who were against this, who say that the
county leaders are just not paying attention, they're not listening
to their voices. The only member of county councilsho voted
against this was a councilwoman who represents you guessed of
(27:43):
the Sandy Run area. She was against us for all
obvious reasons, but it's just a you know, regardless of
the topic, and okay, you don't live in County County,
you don't care, but it's kind of that that broader sense.
Then we hear this from so many people. You show
up to these meetings and it's like, why do I
even bother? The issue has already been decided. You don't
(28:06):
feel like your voice matters? Yeah, yeah, no, and not
listening to me. They're not responding to me. And if
I get too vociferous here, they're gonna boot me out,
which is, you know, not the way that ought to
be done. So you know a lot of folks over
there and that neck of the woods are just feeling
like that this morning.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And there have been a number of these meetings and
every time they have one, I get the same feedback
from folks who are unhappy with this decision, that they're
not listening to us. Well, at least for Sandy Run residents.
Your councilwoman did listen to you, but she couldn't convince
the rest. So, yeah, this is what we have elections for.
(28:49):
But considering the fact that so many of these districts
will see their property tax actually go out a little bit.
You might bet that some of those same council members,
well we'll be back again. Well we'll see again. Bigger
picture is these elected council members. Do they really listen
(29:11):
to you?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM on five sixty AM w VOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson at.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Fifteen a halfter eight o'clock. And by the way, I
have it on good authority. The special guests they're referring
to on Clay and Buck today is Vice President JD. Vance.
Trump's gonna be busy today. He's you know, he's in
Michigan talking to in the land of US onomobile production,
where they're pretty happy with it right now. They actually
(29:46):
like all this. They like the tariff stuff. They like
to bring in the jobs back. I mean, who can't
like bringing jobs back? We just have to get past
the tariff stuff first. But Vance is expected to be
on now. We don't know what time yet, so be
sure to tune into twelve o six or just stay two.
Who dead no reason to go anywhere? I was, you
know originally, Yeah, the JD. Vance pick, I was I
(30:09):
wasn't quite sure what to make of that. Uh. And yeah,
it's just still early on and the jury is still out.
But you know, I'm liking what I'm seeing from Vance.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
I think the philosophies in this administration are in the
right place. I think some of the execution has been
a little rough around the edge of.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
There have been a few spots where that has been
that has been the case. Why am I seeing a
picture of Pete hegxath right now in my head when
you say that. Yeah, and that's with any administration. But yeah,
some of it's been a little kind of needs to
be rained in a bed. But so so. Trump will
speak today and the word is he's expected to announce
(30:52):
that he will be reducing the impacts of tariffs on
automakers when he speaks today in Michigan, UH, saying the
decision follows the auto industry's goodwill efforts to move manufacturing
back to the US. We've talked about this. You had Hyundai,
you had Honda, others are talking about it manufacturing at
(31:15):
least parts of it back into the United States, which
is again, you know, this is the second part of
this strategy here. So it looks like there will be
some moves made to reduce the impact of those tariffs
when it comes to automakers. And then of course the
price that we all pay. Here's the end user here,
(31:40):
that twenty five percent tariff on all imported passenger vehicles
has benefit in effect this month, and of course concerns
that this would, you know, raise prices to a point
was what were the numbers we had a couple of
weeks ago to if it was that the median price
of a new car in this country was something like
forty eight thousand dollars. It was pretty high, yeah, and
that they were expecting the impact of tariffs would raise
(32:04):
that median price up to about sixty two thousand dollars. Well,
that's a yeah. A lot of people can't go there,
so I for one, wouldn't go there.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I mean, come on, So you saw the mad dash
to the car dealers as everybody tries to beat the tariffs.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
The pre tariff pricing. Yes, yes, but that may not
be quite the issue that it was expected to be.
Now yesterday, and we mentioned this while we were on
the air, because it was unusual that the White House
would be holding a press conference at eight thirty in
the morning, but they were yesterday, Caroline Levin and Tom Holman.
The borders are. We're holding court and so the executive
(32:42):
order coming down. Trump is doubling down on these sanctuary cities.
Quite simple, says Levitt. A Bay law, respect the law
and dunn obstruct federal immigration officials and law enforcement affits
that are simply trying to remove public safety threats from
(33:03):
our nation's communities. This has been one of the highlights,
regardless of all the the blowback you get from the
left on you know, Abrego Garcia and such, and a
two year old deported, and now the latest, of course,
the arrest and dragging off this this judge in Milwaukee
(33:27):
in handcuffs for well, what breaking the law? When you
got judges blatantly breaking the law, I mean, you can't
just let that go. But aside from that, as far
as polling is concerned, this has been the highlight. Interestingly,
(33:48):
enough of the numbers don't lie the initial Remember the
promise was there'd be millions of people deported, mass deportation.
This is what Trump, in his own words said back
(34:09):
last August. It hasn't really been that way. There has
not been a big jump in immigrants deported. Since Trump
took office, there have been no mass deportations. A matter
of fact, the number show that removals or behind the
levels of the Biden administration. Huh. Well that's interesting, isn't
(34:35):
it for this president who gets so much grief for
deporting people. Joe Biden deported more. Of course, you got
a you know kind of that was four years versus
you know, three months here. So but when you average
it all out, that's kind of what it comes down to. Well,
what's the difference here, Well, maybe a couple things. Number One,
(34:57):
nobody's coming in right now.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
That's the biggest difference is the border feels closed now.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yes, and for all intents and purposes it is closed,
So you've got fewer people to deep a lot of. Again,
during the Biden a lot of the deportations were for
folks who had just crossed the border, you know, recently,
and guess what you knew where they were. You maybe
had them detained somewhere on the Southwest border and you
(35:24):
send them back across. Well, you know, we don't have
that problem right now. Thanks to Trump's policies, in just
one hundred short days, the border has been for all
intents and purposes sealed. And number two, what's the focus been.
While the left wants you to think that they're out
there rooting out you know, anybody and everybody that's here
(35:46):
illegally and sending them back, the focus has been on, well,
what we saw in Colorado Springs the other night, right,
the big bust of that nightclub infested with gang members
from Trendo Argua and MS thirteen. That's been the focus,
which was exactly what the President said the focus would
be initially, and that was to get the criminal element,
(36:09):
those here illegally and committing crimes in this country, to
get them the heck out of here. And that's what's
been happening now. I don't know that the individual in
Milwaukee that this Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan was trying
(36:30):
to shield, you know, I do on the background of
that individual of this was an alleged gang member or whatever.
I just know this. He was a Mexican national and
he'd been charged with three counts of battery. Okay, stop
stop for a second, all right. If eduardro Flores Ruiz
(36:54):
was a legal US citizen in Judge Dugan's courtroom, chars
with three counts of battery. Would Dugan have done what
she did because this guy is not a US citizen
and is not here illegally. Would she have escorted him
out the jury tour to try to avoid copsick. No,
(37:20):
she has left the administration with no choice but to
arrest her and make a make a make an example
out of her. Well, now you've got another judge in Wisconsin,
another circuit court judge, Monica Eesham, saying she'd stop hearing
court cases in order to avoid putting her staff or
(37:44):
herself in harm's way if they were called to do
the same as Dugan did.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
What that doesn't make any sense, none at all. So
she's going to stop doing her job because she's afraid
her job might make her do something illegal.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because she's afraid that the FEDS might show up and
try to uh to apprehend somebody she's trying to protect.
And then in the in the in the midst of it,
she's she's giving the impression that Ice is gonna come
with guns blazing and that the judge and all her
staff might wind up dead on the floor because the
government's coming after him.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
But at the same time she's suggesting she can't do
her job without doing something illegal.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Right exactly. So guess what, just stop doing your job,
turn in your robe, go home. That's I think that's
the only the only option here. This is this is
just this is lunacy, man, total lunacy.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's the stuff people are talking about and call them
out by the bad evan like you doing right now
one on three point five FM and five sixty AM
w VOC. This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David
and Christopher Thompson on one on three point five FM,
(39:00):
MAN five sixty AM WVOC.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Height thirty nine. All Right, our final thoughts here for
a Tuesday morning. In our final few minutes with you,
we'll start here at home in the Low Country, where
the state and needless to say, the family of Samantha
Miller are both strongly opposed, firmly and uniformly opposed to
an appeal by Jamie Kamarowski for a lighter prison sentence.
(39:24):
Now you'll remember this story. Jamie Kamarowski was driving way
over the limit, way too fast on our road and
Fowley Beach slammed in the back of a golf cart,
taking the life of a Samantha Miller who had just
(39:46):
and I was looking at this picture this morning. I
mean she was just married. I looked at that picture.
The farthest thing from her imagination was within an hour
or so, she'd be dead. Now, you may recall the
Kamarowski got a twenty seven year sentence or twenty five
(40:08):
year sentence. She's twenty seven. She got twenty five year sentence.
She did plead guilty to reckless homicide, felling dui and
falling death, and two counts of felling dui with great
bodily injury. Her sentence was one of the strictest out
of anybody who's been convicted of felling dui in the
Charleston area in the past ten years. That, according to Emotion,
(40:31):
filed to reconsider the sentencing by her attorneys, saying that
the decision of the court and the judge was grossly
desperate compared to other offenders sins. The state says differently,
Now you recall part of the issue here was is
(40:53):
that after this incident, remember, Kamarowski was like, well, what
did I do wrong? Just let me go home, remember,
and then just just some behavior that indicated she didn't
understand what she had just done, entitled behavior entitled behavior. Yeah,
(41:17):
and that didn't sit well with.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
The judge conversations with family members.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
So no, obviously the family is like no. Well the
state is like no as well. I mean, this was
this was just this was a tragedy, unspeakable tragedy. And
the fact that at least initially she showed no remorse
at all for it was not helpful to her cause.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
By the way, that every time this topic comes up,
Frank hits us on talkback and says, by Frank, reminder,
this is illegal. You are not allowed to operate a
golf cart at night on any road in South Carolina.
And that is true. There is a law in the
books that says that very thing. I think everybody realizes.
And you know, Folly Beach has addressed that since then,
(42:06):
trying to come up with something, but they've accepted the
fact that, you know, it's a part of living down there,
and there are certain communities where golf carts are everywhere.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
And remember this is what I got. Twenty five mile
an hour speed limit on that road. Yeah, and Kamarowski
was going with like sixty.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
So what do you do do you do you firmly
uphold the law or do you simply say, all right,
let's be realistic and let's at least if people are
going to do it, let's make it safe.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Well, in this case, I would say, what's the bigger
crime here? Have your golf cart on the road at night? Yeah,
or being way over the limit drunk and slamming in
the back of that golf cart and killing somebody.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Right, all the safety rules in the world wouldn't have
stopped that.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
No, No, meantime up the road in Myrtle Beach. Questions
still lingering, and they will probably for a while. As
was investigating that shooting over the weekend that left an
eighteen year old dead. Again, officer involved shooting still a
bit murky as to what happened. The release from the
(43:07):
for the authorities. During the altercation, one individual began firing
a weapon based on the immediate threat, when of our
officers discharged responded by discharging their firearm. Now, whether or
not the whoever was the shooter was the one who
was shot, I don't know that we know that yet,
(43:27):
but we do know that what eleven people were injured.
This is this again. You know, when that story first
came out, the headlines almost made it look like, you know,
one dead, eleven injured in police involved shooting. As though
the cops shot twelve people, that's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And with it being in this high pro profiling area
as it is, I assume there are cameras there.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
Well, you got to think that we're all over the place.
Speaker 4 (43:50):
I mean, between the city itself and all those hotels.
I would think there would be footage of this some
way that they're reviewing.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah, you would think. Congratulations to Brian Sterling is the
Thomas mentioned of the update. He has been named the
interim US Attorney for South Carolina. That interim will come
off sometime soon, I'm sure, as he was sworn in
yesterday as interim. He was appointed by a PAMBONDI. This
(44:19):
leaves some shoes to fill.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, he's been some large shoes correction the department for
a long time.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Be interesting to see who who gets tapped for that position.
That's a very important one needslet's say, and again, the
things he's done, I mean, Brian Sterling is not a
guy who just said, Okay, you're not going to let
me do this. Never mind, when it comes to jamming
cell phone signals and prisons, the f SEC would still
to this day not allow it inexplicably, so sterling, you know,
(44:52):
look for ways around all that. It has been somewhat
successful in doing just that. So hats off to him
for that. And sure we'll do a terrific job. And
this new We were talking about this earlier this morning.
You know again, can we ever get to a time
when the two sides can at least agree on something
in this country? It seems more and more unlikely. And
(45:16):
what's the end what's the end result you're looking for?
When folks like JB. Pritzker, the Illinois Democrat governor, said
over the weekend that Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,
calling for mass protests, mobilization, disruption against Trump and his administration.
(45:39):
Let's see, we must castigate them on the soap box
and then punish them at the ballot box. We will
never join so many Republicans in the special place in
Hell reserve for quizzlings and cowards. We will relegate their
portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traders.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Wow, man, all right, I had to look up quizzling,
thank you, because I was a trader who collaborates with
an enemy force. Occupying their country.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Well, we had a quizling and Joe Biden then, right,
maybe you think about the wrong people here of Pritzker.
I think that's the Democrat Party, not the Republican Party,
not the Trump administration. Of course, this is part of
the course for the Democrats. You know, Maxine Waters back
(46:33):
in twenty eighteen told people to harass members of Trump's administration.
I mean, this is I was just gonna say this
is juvenile behavior, but it's dangerous behavior very day. You know,
here we go, it'll be summer before you know, are
we going to see another summer of hate courtesy of
the left. It seems to be an annual occurrence. And
(46:56):
you got folks like Pritzker. No, he's calling for it,
out and out, calling for it. And then you know,
of course, you know this was going to happen sooner
or later, a Democrat from Michigan introducing seven articles of
impeachment against Trump. Here we go. Now, of course this
is academic, right now, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress,
(47:17):
but you know, why not go ahead and do it anyway? Right?
Seven articles of impeachment? Now, it doesn't hurt that this
guy thin Nadar is facing a lot of primary challenges
because you know, he's from Michigan with a heavy Muslim population,
and he's been supporting Israel. Ah, yeah, there's that up north.
(47:40):
The Liberal Canadians stayed that way as Mark Carney's Liberal
Party won Canada's federal elections yesterday. Actually, uh, you know,
for a while there it looked like the more conservative
branches might make some gains, and then well the tariff
thing happened, and the talk of the fifty first eight
thing happened, and well the end product was worlds continue
(48:00):
to rule. And what caused the lights to go out
in Spain and Portugal? Well there's two countries where the
lights just went out bam, And it's taken a long
time to get him back on I. And is this
a grid issue? Well, there have been grid problems uh
across the EU. They've been wanting to change some of
(48:23):
their connections and all. But it that hadn't happened yet,
is it, Dad? Is it a cyber attack? That was
that's the go It's always gonna be the original concerns
a cyber attack. Well they say it wasn't, but well,
who knows. Get out the big bottle of dressing is
Kamala Harris tomorrow will take a jab at Trump and
a keynote express e spread dress that is at the
(48:46):
Emerged Gala. Her first public remarks is leaving office. Get
ready for the big words salad tonight tonight tomorrow night.
This would this should be good.
Speaker 4 (48:56):
She'll she better enjoy it because this is the first
your speech back, right?
Speaker 3 (49:01):
This is it? Yes?
Speaker 4 (49:02):
After this, attention is likely to die pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yes, because go ahead and float away into oblivion. And
it looks like this this may now be the all
time flop for Disney snow White, as its box office
run is nearly over. You remember the snow White controversy
and the result forty two million dollar opening weekend dropped
sixty six percent, and weekend number two. It even worse
(49:30):
after that, and now it's pretty much out of theaters. Yes,
go woke, go broke.
