Speaker 1 (00:01):
Jesus hell yeah, SAT America and Jerry Hollend for regious
for nation.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is wrong.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David and Christopher
Thompson on one O three point five FM and five
sixty AM. W voc Hey, good morning, tell you welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's Tuesday, July the eighth, sixteen after six. How the
heck are you? Gary David? That is Christopher Thompson. Good
morning to you, sir, Good morning. Ready to bake again today?
Why not? Is this just? Is this really wearing you down?
Is it just me am I getting old?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I mean it's I think it's worse in the morning.
I think you're used to it when you see the
sun out, But when it's dark, it's a different story.
I get you walk on it just kind of it
hits you like a like a punch to the gut.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, you know, consider this with the high temperature today
at ninety seven give or take, heated decks one hundred
and three give or take. I know it's different. It's
a dry heat out west. But Phoenix, Arizona, for example,
this morning, the low is going to be ninety two.
That's the low. The low ninety two Okay, maybe we
(01:24):
shouldn't complain, So maybe we shouldn't. But anyway, they were
going for one hundred and seventeen air temp in Phoenix today.
It's it's craziness. I out o. The weather has certainly
been top of mind, hasn't it Some issues up in
parts of North Carolina from what was slept over from
chantal which fortunately didn't didn't I didn't even bring hardly
a rain drop around the midlands. Certainly it sortaly brought
(01:46):
some rain for parts of the state, but still searching rescue,
not recovery, but search and rescue in Texas. And we'll
get to more on that and all the finger pointing,
and we just this is another example of how things
have gotten so vitriolic politically in this country. It's just, man,
(02:12):
it's gone too far. We'll get to that a rundown,
big stories, hot topics. We'll start here at home. And
it looks like it's official now, Yes, it is. Stephen Goldfinch,
the senator from the Orie County area, has officially tossed
his hat in the ring to run for Attorney General.
(02:34):
He spoke yesterday formally announcing that bit, which we knew
was coming. No great surprise there did I see it?
And for some reason I didn't see this anywhere this
morning and all my laborious pre show prep. Wow, but
it was laborious today, trust me. But I know I
saw this somewhere yesterday that she hasn't announced yet. But
(02:56):
there's at least a date I guess when she has
a big anouncement, and that is a lieutenant governor Pamela Aviatt,
and I think that's sometime in the next still week
or so. I have not seen that. I saw a
blurb of that yesterday and I haven't seen anything. Not again,
just saying this A has a big announcement coming up.
But she's widely expected, of course, to throw her hat
(03:17):
in the ring for the Republican nomination for governor. We
know that what July twenty seventh, I think is the
date that we'll get a yes or no. He'll get
a yes from up state Don Oldsman, Ralph Norman. Yes.
I think my pre show preface to Libor is now
I'm bring dead. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe so of course,
(03:42):
Alan Wilson's already in and he'll he'll join us tomorrow morning.
By the way, Okay, Gavin'll be in town today, he'll
be he'll be in the state today. He will be
in the Midlands. He'll be aver in Kershaw County. I believe,
if memory serves correct, he'll be chopping by. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
We had a caller off the air yesterday who said
that he had been trying to track down whether any
of these appearances would be quote unquote public appearance. And
I don't think so. I mean, he will be in
the public, but I don't know that they're scheduling crowds.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right, No, I don't think they are. I don't think
they are. He'll be making a stop in Camden, is
he it was it eight rural counties at.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
The mary and Chesterfield, Marlborough, Lawrence Pickens of Coney, Kershawn Florence. Okay, okay,
this is on the road with Governor Newsom. I bet
that's a fun road trip right there.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Uh. Well, just in case you missed it, you know
where into July, you know, the new new things rolled in,
new legislation takes effected. Yeah, your tax rates lower? Now
does that mean much in it? You know of all
that talk about taxes in the last session and the
fair tax and well no, the flat tax, others want
a fair tax or no tax at all. And now
(05:10):
we've got gubernatorial candidates seeking their party nomination on the
Republican side who are talking about just that, and that
is no taxes at all. In our state, our rate
has gone from the top rate from six point two
to six percent. It was as high as seven percent
just a couple of years back. Now, what does this
mean to you? Well, for every ten thousand dollars of
(05:33):
taxable income, it's going to save you about twenty bucks.
So if you're, hey, if you're knocking down two hundred
g a year, you're just going to save yourself four
hundred dollars on taxes. Are you going to actually realize
that in your day to day Probably not, but there
it is. Anyway, it's better than going the other way around.
Right now, Again, the response to what happened in Texas
(05:58):
is really over the top. A lot of liberal outrage,
a lot of finger pointing, a lot of naming and blaming.
You had Chuck Schumer blasting the White House for the
Texas flood, the White House blasting back. We mentioned yesterday
that woman in Houston who was on some advisory board
down there. I've never wondered what it was now. But anyway,
(06:20):
she's been fired from her position after what she put
up on social media about it being all white girls
in this camp mystic And then you had a Houston
based pediatrician now a doctor who what was it she
posted talking about MAGA and that you know you get,
(06:43):
Oh yeah, may all visitors, children, non MAGA voters and
pets be safe and drive Kerr County MAGA voter to
gut FEMA. They deny climate change, May they get what
they voted for. Bless their hearts? What is wrong with people? Man?
You got more than one hundred people dead and you're
(07:04):
making posts like that just over the top and dial
it back people. Brian Stattler, you know what, he actually
made a good point here. He says the media is
partly to blame for what's going on here, for what
he called warning fatigue, you know, and he's got a
(07:25):
very good point. I mean, the media will come out,
you're getting a couple of drops of rain and suddenly
it's in alert day, right, he says, when everything is
labeled extreme weather, nothing seems extreme anymore. And you know,
if we cried wolf one too many times and we're
not paying attention anymore could be. Oh and a lot
(07:50):
of blowback. We mentioned this yesterday briefly. I know we
didn't get into it in too much detail, I don't
think as I recall, but the Jeffrey Epstein case and
now the do the FBI closing the books on this thing,
saying there's no client list, really no client list, and
that yeah he did off himself, and that Manhattan jel cell, well.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Which jail cell. I mean, they've seems like there have
been more than one picture posted and their different cells.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, now we got a new video that was shows
him walking in the corridor with a guard. The whole
thing is is something is wrong here. Yeah, something is wrong,
and hey, you know what, Maga world is revolting over
this and everybody should be something is not right. We
got lots to talk about on that front today. That
and more coming up on this. It is the Tuesday
(08:42):
edition of Columbia's Morning News. That It's always terrific to
have you with us. Thank you so much. I'm just saying,
if you're a squatter, you have more rights than homeowners.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Shot edity just saying what on three point five FMN
five sixty am w VOC this is Columbia's Morning News
with Gary David and Christopher Thompson on one O three
point five FM and five sixty AM w VOC.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It is six forty one morning and it's good to
have you along for Tuesday, July the eighth file. This
one under who needs cyber attacks on our electrical grid
when we've got Democrats. Yeah, we're talking just yesterday about
well again, this has a bit you know, something we've
talked about a lot here in the last year or so,
(09:31):
it seems like more in the past few months actually,
but you know, the uh, the reliability of the electric
grid here in this in this country and the demands
on it. Right now we're discussing yesterday the the you know,
the the loggerheads between Santie Cooper and what is it
(09:51):
Central Electric co Operative? I think it is the one
that feeds electricity down in Monk's Corner in that area,
and that's where the big Google data center is, and
you know, Central Electric wanted to reclassify that Google data
center is, you know, to get some kind of low
ball rate and uh, the the is a no, that's crazy,
(10:15):
but that that one data center uses more electricity than
that all the other commercial clients that Central Electric Cooperative
has combined. So that's just one of the problems when
it comes to supplying enough power for other into these
businesses and households. And it's not just there, it's it's
(10:38):
an increasing issue everywhere. Now that coupled with the Biden
green energy scam is uh because it is the potentially some
big time problems here. The Department of Energy yesterday releasing
a new report warning of impending blackouts if we continue
(10:59):
to shut down power plants without replacing the capacity that
we're losing. Again, case in point the one that is
where its way through the legislature to build that new
gas fire plant over in Cannedies. We discussed this a
year or so back, when the new Biden regulations would
(11:23):
have meant that that plant, in order to control emissions,
would have to purchase extremely expensive technology to try to
mitigate the emissions outputs. Technology that's so expensive that most
of these operators said, you know, it's not worth it
you had that option, or you would have to scale
(11:45):
back how much you were producing in order to meet
these stringent emissions requirements. And I think if I recall correctly,
in the case of that plant and candidates are going
to be building when it opened unless it's some how
got grandfathered in. But when it opened up, it would
only be running it like fifty percent capacity because of
(12:06):
the Biden era rules. Great well, this report that came
out yesterday warning that blackouts could increase by one hundred
percent in the next five years. That's if we continue
to retire these power plants without replacing them. And that
(12:29):
here we go the common refrain that the grid is
not prepared to meet the demand of these power hungry
data centers online.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
We're building a couple more, and we're building a couple
of more. Yeah, right around the one that we're having
issues with already.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
M h. I guess it's on the same provider, right
Central Electric. I they're in the area. Yeah, I don't know. Boy, Okay,
everybody else, turn off your lights because the data centers
need that energy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Somebody's doing a Google search. Mm hm, and your light's
down Google search? When will your lights come back on?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right? So unless we come up with a more reliable
form of generation of energy quickly, we're going to have
big problems. And the report specifically highlighting wind and solar
to resources pushed by Biden as being responsible for eroding
grid stability, and this report advising that dispatchable generation as
(13:29):
they call it, electricity from sources like coal, like oil,
like gas, like nuclear, are necessary to meet the anticipated
demand in this country of electricity. We already knew this, Okay,
we knew this again, As I said, file this under
(13:52):
who needs cyber attackers trying to take our grid down?
We've got Democrats and Joe Biden and his administration to
have done it for us. And it's not just you
know here or there. This report says that all regional
grid systems in this country are expected to lose reliability
in the coming years unless again, we add more reliable power. Okay,
(14:22):
so again top line here blackouts could not would, but
could increase by one hundred percent by the year twenty
thirty in the next five years.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Uh ironic that I mean ten years ago, that wouldn't
have been as dire as it is now because we're
so dependent on electricity for everything. Sure, it would have
been an inconvenience ten twenty years ago, but what's it's
it's a whole different world now. It is everything relies on,
(15:02):
you know, electricity, making the Internet work.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm not I'm not really sure what the thinking was here,
how we would be able to I mean, it's not
like we didn't know that these data centers would be
getting more and more and more of them because we're
so dependent upon them, right, and yet at the same time,
how are you going to feed those beasts. You're not
(15:28):
going to do it with a win. You're not gonna
do a solar You're not going to be able to
defeed anybody by continuing to shut down power plants because
you don't like the emissions without replacing them with something,
and the wind insult aren't going to get it done.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
To my point though, think about it twenty years ago.
You know, if I told you we were getting ready
to have a blackout, what would you be worried about?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The Yeah, the air conditioner, keep the food called the fridge, Yeah,
it'd be it. Yeah, it's a totally different world now.
Now everything revolves around that. Yeah, because everything revolves around
us being on the internet exactly right, banking, right, turning
the lights on in your house, opening the front door,
smart helmes, yeah, yeah, everything. Uh. There have been two,
(16:21):
actually more than that, several, I don't remember the exact number.
Several emergency orders to major grid operators just in the
last couple of months alone, and expect them to continue.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation, otherwise known as NARK,
(16:45):
which is a major grid watchdog, citing an urgent need
for electricity resource and here's the problem though, Great, okay,
so we know we need to do this, but it's
not like you can just snap your fingers and suddenly
that you've done it. You gotta build the things right.
And if they give us a five year a five
year timeline here, but we could see you know, blackouts
(17:08):
double Can we can we get these things online quick
enough to prevent that from happening. I don't know that
we can. You know, for as much grief as it's
caused us, and as much doubt we have, it can
get happen. We've really got to hope that that somebody
comes along and says, you know what, I'll take up
that project over there in Jenkinsville. Yeah, I'll finish that
(17:30):
second reactor. Sure, So we need somebody to do that, man,
and do it quick. I STI don't have much faith
that's gonna happen, but you know, be nice if it
did not on the backs of rate payers.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
This time, of course, you're listening to Columbia's Morning News
on one oh three point five FM and five sixty
am w VOC. Once again, here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
They put out an memo and conclusion of that review.
There was material they did not release because frankly, it
was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography, which is
not something that's appropriate for public consumption. But they committed
to an exhausted investigation. That's what they did, and they
provided the results of.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That this fifteen after seven, Good Morning. We got to
talk about this. Caroline Levit yesterday at the podium of
the White House, the White House Press Secretary I answering
a lot of questions about this Jeffrey Epstein case, Peter
Doucy or at Fox asking why DOJ has changed its
(18:40):
tune on the existence of a client list. They had
said there was one right in the past. Did they
say there was one? Yeah? At one point, I mean
they were talking about the whole list of things.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And you know, Dan Bongino kind of added fuel to
the fire. What just last week, didn't he two weeks ago?
Two weeks ago Okay, all right, Well it's and why
the administration is backtracking on this story now, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, let's look at a little timeline here. During the campaign,
Trump was asked on numerous occasions if he would release
the Epstein files if re elected. Made an appearance on
a podcast last September, he called it interesting that the
list of clients had not been made. It probably will
(19:40):
be said. He was asked, so, if you're able to,
would you, He said, I would certainly take a look
at it. This past February after taking over the White House,
you remember when they invited a number of conservative influencers
to drop by and they were given well, it turned
(20:00):
out to be unclassified binders. Really stuff. We already knew
nothing new there.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
But they ran home with those binders saying I've got
the Epstein list, and then they opened it and realized
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Right. Pam Bondy, the Attorney General, Well she's under the
spotlight now again. Deucy asking Caroline Levity just heard from
about Bondy apparently confirming back in February that a non
(20:34):
public list of Epstein's clients existed. Levitt's response, she was
saying the entirety of all the paperwork, all of the
paper relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. That's what she was
referring to. And I'll let her speak to that. Oh yeah,
not touching out a ten football, huh. But the question
(20:58):
that he asked was a reference to John Roberts over
Fox News back in February asking Bondi during a TV
interview if the DJ that is planned to release a
list of Epstein's clients. Her response, at the time, it's
sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been
(21:19):
a director by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. He said list.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
He said list, and then Caroline Levitt says, well, no,
she was talking about the file.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Right, But he specifically said list, a list of Epstein's clients.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Which everybody has referred to that list. When you say list,
everybody knows exactly what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
About, right. And for Bondie to say it's sitting on
my desk right now to review, would legia believe there
is a list? So what's going on here? I'm you know,
I'm not sure all that many people cared all that much,
(22:03):
were it not for the fact that now you've got
two administrations that seem to be care covering it up. Yeah.
I don't think you're going to find a single person
on God's green Earth who doesn't believe that there are
a lot of names on a list somewhere of people
(22:26):
that we all know, some we love, some we hate,
and a decision has been made now by multiple administrations
that that can never see the light of day. That's
my opinion. I don't know what. I don't know how
(22:47):
we're lad to believe anything but that.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And you're just talking about the list, not to mention
the fact that of how he died, well.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Exactly, yeah, and yeah, you committed suicide, they say, And
you know a lot of people aren't buying that either. Weird.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, Yeah. The MAGA crowd wasn't really happy with not
any things went yesterday. I mean they you know, they
got that news, they got the fact that Trump announced
that we're sending more weapons to Ukraine, and a lot
of MAGA people are thinking, you know, what's different between
this and two years ago?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Exactly that that that's what bugs the snot out of
you right there? Right This is like, you know, meet
the old boss, new boss, same as the old boss. Now, well,
I think. Let's see, well, Elon Musk has something to
(23:46):
say about it. What did he put out? What's the time?
Oh look it's no one's been arrested. The clock again.
Put out a photo of the you call the official
jeoffardy Epstein pedophile arrest counter set to zero zero zero zero.
(24:14):
I keep waiting for the left to come out, for
the Democrats to come out and say, yeah, this list
isn't released because Donald Trump's names on it. But wait no,
they probably can't do that, can they, because a lot
of their names are probably on that list too. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
If I'm Caroline love It, I don't take another question
on this. I let the people who have already talked,
like the Bonginos and the Bondies, who have thrown these
statements out there with anything, without anything to back them up.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I let them explain again. I mean, listen, they maybe
they should have just let this lie. Let this have
been Joe Biden's problem, right that Joe Biden covered it
up and not even take it back up again. Why
would you take this up then, to give us this?
(25:11):
There are powerful forces at play here, man, that don't
want the truth exposed. Powerful forces the likes that we
probably can't even begin to imagine. It's all my opinion. Okay,
I'm not giving you a factor here, I'm giving my opinion.
I can't but I can't think of any other reason
(25:33):
why this is, this is the way it is. Why
would you go there? Why didn't you just let just
let sleeping dogs lie and you know we'd have all
you would have gone into the history as only like
the JFK thing, you know, But then you bring it
back up again, you get people all worked up over it,
you know, and you answer questions like where's the list, Well,
it's on my desk, I'm reviewing it. And then I
(25:55):
tells there is no list. Something doesn't add up. No
times on the Glenbeck Program. It's so rare for me
to be excited. It's going to be very exciting.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
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 2 (26:23):
It is seven forty two. It's good to have you along.
It's Tuesday, July the eighth. All right, so are things
quieted down in Los Angeles. Well, we're not getting the
coverage we were before. We're not seeing the riots and
the streets that we were before. But no, things are
still problematic for Los Angeles. We talked about this yesterday,
mister Thompson. How many jobs in Los Angeles are held
(26:45):
by people who are in this country illegally. I think
the total, well, the number of jobs held by people
who have immigrated this country, all told, legally and illegally,
is like thirty eight percent of the world. Force tells
you how dependent we are on immigration, Yes, especially places
(27:07):
like Los Angeles. Right now, all these folks are not illegal, right,
but there are a good portion of workers in LA
and and a lot of other places here too, that
are in this country undocumented. If you want to be
politically correct, no, never mind illegally. This must be what
(27:29):
it is. Let's say call it what it is, all right.
So the story yesterday we talked about was how you
know LA is griding to a halt because of the
ice raids, and that these folks are not showing up
for work, they're fraid to go anywhere, YadA, YadA, YadA. Okay, Well,
yesterday the FEDS descended upon MacArthur Park. You may remember
(27:50):
that from the song all those years ago, What a
horrible song. I hated that song. Oh, I hate that song.
It didn't make much sense. No, Well, these days MacArthur
Park is a place that sees a lot of crime,
a lot of drug use. You know, not the place
you want to take the fam right, But a number
(28:12):
of illegals tend to want to congregate there for some reason.
And yesterday the Fed showed up. They raided the park.
There were some on horseback, some had rifles and armored vehicles.
According to the LA Times, protesters yelled and cursed at
the agents, debanding they leave the park. There were also
about ninety National Guard troops who were deployed there. Deployed
(28:36):
by the governor. I'm guessing not. I don't know he's
in town today or in the state. Maybe we should
ask him. No, it wouldn't been deployed by the governor. Now, well,
Karen Bash decided to get all bowed up over this.
The LA mayor. She shows up and she plays what
(28:59):
plays he for the illegal immigrant crowd. They need to
leave right now, right now, this is unacceptable. Just wait
and see they'll be leaving soon. Well, they did leave.
They were there and they saw what they needed to
see and didn't see anybody do arrest Wait a minute,
I thought they just showed up and arrested people. Willy nilly.
(29:19):
Wasn't that a story? Isn't that? The storyline doesn't matter.
If you look like you don't belong here, you get
rounded up and deported. And that's not the way they
do it. So, no, things are not quiet in Los
Angeles by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, here we go.
There's another story here. Iconic city is grinding through a halt,
(29:43):
as Ice rates said, as many migrant workers into hiding there.
This is another another version of that same story. So
Bash shows up, calls the show of force a political
stunt meant to terrorize immigrants. What I saw I look
at a city under siege and an occupation because of
(30:05):
one park, because Arthur Metropolitan City exactly. Yes, it's you know,
because leadership like yours has allowed it to become what
it is today. Now sticking with this theme here, and
(30:26):
I can't even believe I'm seeing this in black and
white on the page in front of me yesterday, Hakeem Jeffreys.
I guess he's recovered now from his eight hour speech
the other day, would not rule out the possibility of
supporting some in his parties calls to defund ICE. Oh,
(30:55):
he went on the view. Well, okay, yeah, right, so
he's preaching at the choir. He was asked by Melissa
Farah Griffin. Some Democrats, amid the criticism of ICE right
now due to these rays, have started calling for defunding ICE.
Do you think that's effective going into the midterms and
do you support those calls? Well, he talked all around it,
(31:20):
but he would not specifically rule out defunding ICE ahead
of the midterms.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He talked all around it, as Jim Clyburn's just off
camera waving.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Don't say it, don't say it.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Because this is the party that said defund the police, yeah,
and immediately took a tailspin in the next midterm election.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Right, And they wanted to learn from their mistakes, and
they keep showing the American people they have not learned
from their mistakes. You are the House Minority leader, you're
the de facto leader of your party, you and Chucky,
and you're not going to say no, we're not going
(32:03):
to defund ICE. Okay, But then things like this happen.
You probably heard the news at the McCallan, Texas Border
Patrol building, an active shooter with a rifle and tactical
gears shooting at border patrol agents. This was yesterday. One
(32:24):
local officer was injured. Nobody died, Well, somebody did die,
the shooter, right, Yes, they took the shooter out. Now
you might think this was a cartel member or somebody
like that. Now this was a Ryan Mousqueta of Michigan,
guy that just showed up in Texas in a vehicle
(32:44):
with a Michigan license plate taking shots at border patrol agents.
He's from Michigan, where you know we're close to a
border there. This was not an illegal immigrant apparently, But
this was, no doubt, somebody who has been listening to
and been influenced by the call from the left to
(33:08):
stop the madness that ice that border patrol, the Republicans
that Trump are bad and must be stopped at all costs.
This is what you get when you continue to demonize
and vivilize. Yeah, vilis a word I'm making up wards now, Yeah,
(33:29):
this is this is what happens. This is what happens.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
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.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
At just about sixteen minutes after eight o'clock in the
morning for Tuesday, July the eight. Thanks for being with us.
I am Gary David. He is Christopher Thompson. Yes, sir,
you know you would you would hope, actually, you would
just think it would be a given that this disaster
(34:06):
in Texas. One hundred and four lives lost now is
that the latest? I mean, the count keeps going up here. Yeah,
how many children lost their lives that we focused on
that camp Mystic and all the girls of that camp,
But those were I'm sure are not the only children
who have perish as a result of this horrific flooding
(34:31):
that took place there. You would you would just think
it's it's times like these that can kind of bring
the nation together, at least for a little while. But
the reaction and the response to it has been just
downright unbelievable. Now. I know there were there were questions
(34:55):
as to Okay, wow, how did they not know this
was coming? Well, well, you know, we've seen the timeline now,
and we know that this happened in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
And I don't know if you've seen the time lapse
video of how quickly that river rose. Yeah, I mean
it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
There were watches that were issued the day before, and
then you know, sometimes mother nature just does something like
this and you just it's an act of God. You know,
you just can't account for it. I heard said that
you could have taken a dart and thrown it at
a map of Texas and you couldn't have found a
(35:37):
worse place for this to happen. The topography, the geography,
everything just combined into making us a perfect storm scenario here. Yeah,
we got to find somebody to blame right now. That
runs the gamut from you know again, Democrats and Chuck
(35:57):
Schumer in particular, being accused I was spreading falsehoods by
the White House. You know, the Democrat Party's line has been, well,
you know, Trump's cuts, Trump's cuts, Trump's cuts, weren't enough
people of the National Weather Service office, blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Well, we've heard from the National Weather Service,
and we've heard from them saying they actually had extra
(36:17):
staff on duty that night. We've heard the timeline when
the watches and warnings went out, and again the problem
being A the time of night when everybody was sleeping,
and b is to have mentioned how quickly the guadalou bros.
I mean just unbelievably quickly. I mean just crazy, crazy fast.
(36:42):
So Schumer's demanding an investigation into vacancies of the National
Weather Service in Texas, even though again as the National
Weather Services said, we were not only fully staffed, but
we have additional staff on hand that evening and they're
not there.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Noah's I mean, everybody, every governmental agency has respet bonded,
and yet Schumer says, okay, I want to learn more.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
So that's been the political response. But then you've got
those on the left. I mean, I don't even know
how you characterize this. We talked yesterday about that woman
in Houston who was I don't know, on some food
insecurity boarder or what have you. I think Cadie Perkins
(37:36):
who pointed out that the lives lost and I can't
miss it. They were all white girls, white Christian girls.
If you're not a white Christian girl, you couldn't have
gotten it. I mean, decided to take that route. Then
we find out yesterday theres a post from Christina Propst
who was a pediatrician in Texas, who post Kerr County,
(38:03):
MAGA voted to gut FEMA, they deny climate change. May
they get what they voted for? Bless their hearts? Hoping
that MAGA people affected by the flooding should reap the
effects of what they voted for, and expressing hope that
non MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. And
(38:24):
this is a pediatrician. Um she's no longer employed by
Bluefish Pediatrics. Needless to say, you had the editor in
chief of some outfit called minus touch dot com. Ron
Philipowski is his name. He writes. The people in Texas
(38:47):
voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott.
They're getting exactly this is exactly Thats exactly what they're getting.
He writes, again, I got no words for this. You
got one hundred and four, No doubt that number go up.
(39:07):
Four people dead, A good number of those are children
or kids. And this is where you go with this thing?
Huh the h Where are we right now? Man? Where
are we when people think it's okay to go up
(39:30):
on social media and say things like this. Okay, another
quick angle to this story. Brian Statler, who's back over
at CNN. He was there for a long time and
(39:51):
he lost his gig, and now he's back in his
Reliable Sources newsletter, he pins some of the blame on
this on the media, and he says the media is
partly to blame for what he called warning fatigue. He's
(40:12):
got a very good point here that warning fatigue, he says,
is being cited by more experts, is one of the
causes of this disaster. Now again in this one, it
was that those warnings come out in the middle of
the night. But he's the point he's making is that
everything these days they's livered is labeled extreme mourning, right,
(40:36):
so much so that you know, nothing seems extreme anymore.
Every time you turn around, there's another extreme morning.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Nobody wants to be the one that doesn't make the
call if it is extreme, right, So they're all extreme.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So but I mean, how many times do you alert
on this weather event or that weather event, and and
and it's it's it's nothing, it's just it's it's clickbait,
it's tune end bait.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
We've talked about that before being on the coast with
hurricane watches, right, and eventually you get your third or
fourth of the summer and you realize, all right, we
haven't been hit yet, no big deal, and that could
be the one.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
That's when you get the one.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Yeah, exactly, But yeah, you're right these you know, but
I think i'm and I think Stilter knows this.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
The TV stations are the worst. Oh yeah, well, they're
horrible with this. I gotta tell you. I know they've
done this for years. I know, but to the point
where I would tell you if Fox News Channel really
has breaking news, I'm gonna miss it because of the
breaking news banner because every time they come back from
a break, it's breaking news. Just trying to get you
(41:45):
to stay tuned for a little while longer. Yeah, but
I'm sorry. How many alerts do we need to put
out there? Well, let's just save that when we really
need it. Because we've cried wolf more than one two
many times now, and he raises a very good point,
is a solid point. We become immune to it. Everything's
(42:06):
an emergency until it's not. And then when it is, Oh,
we've been so preconditioned to hearing that that we don't
even pay attention to it.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Listen anytime when I'm going to work with the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
An I downloaded the app on my phone.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
I can listen whenever I want 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
doub VOC sametime.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
For our final thoughts today forty on a Tuesday morning,
let's start with Gavin Newsome again, pick up where the
rash dot guys left off. Of course, he'll he'll be
in the Midlands. He'll be over in Camden. This will
be at the uh Oh. He'll be the number of
counties across the state today and tomorrow, but he'll be
in the Camden today for the state's Democrat Party county
(43:02):
by county, the Path to Power event. According to the
Democrat Party, this event is aiming to connect our rural counties. Oh.
This is why all the rural counties, Okay, connect our
rural counties which face critical issues such as jobs, infrastructure, schools,
hospitals and disaster recovery challenges. And Gavin is coming here
(43:23):
to solve all of it for you. Okay. The state
GOP released a response, reading, apparently California Governor Gavin Newsom
is looking for some new voters to fool as he
plans to run for president in twenty twenty eight. Or
maybe he's looking for voters who left California do to
(43:45):
high taxes, government overregulation of well good sanity. Come back,
please come back. Okay, Well, it is interesting that again
is the guys mentioned in the Rash thought update there
that you know, all of the the wannabes of the
Democrat Party feel it's necessary to come to a state
which hasn't actually voted for a Democrat since Jimmy Carter
(44:06):
in nineteen seventy six. Kind of curious, right, I mean?
Is James Clybert, Is he truly that big of a
king maker and the Democrat Party to where they just
they came here to yeah, to kiss the ring, to
try to get his blessing.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I don't know that his word would carry the same
weight after what just happened with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Right who to the very end defended Joe to the
very end. We'll see. Okay, So welcome to South Carolina.
Governor Knewsom, we hope you enjoy your stay here. And yeah, okay,
(44:48):
Stephen Goldfinch, the Oriy County senator, officially tossing his hat
into the ring, not for governor, for attorney general, as
was expected making that announcement yesterday.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
Okay, he'll get a lot of attention because his message is,
you know, even though he's in government, is you know,
almost anti government, anti regulation, anti this, anti It's just
a lot of his issues are related to you know,
where he lives on the beach and where his constituents live.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, said if he if elected, his top priorities would
include addressing crimes such as sex, traffick in child pornography,
and preventing federal government over each day. You have it, okay,
h And I still I don't know. I gotta check again,
because I swear to you I saw a brief mention
this yesterday that there's even a day given when Lieutenant
(45:48):
Governor Pam Labatt says she will make an exciting announcement,
which of course is going to be that she's going
to throw her hat in the ring for a governor.
You do it? Think now? In other news, here's the
challenge for the day to day, ask ten people at
random who the lieutenant governor is. You see how many
(46:11):
get it right. And that's not just a her issue.
That's anybody who's I lieutenant governor issure in South Carolina.
I glanced just briefly at an article on the state
newspaper's website that posted yesterday with this headline, USC campus
intersections are dangerous. Data shows then they become they became deadly.
(46:32):
In particular, they were pointing out a lot of discussion
here on Blossom Street, Blossom and Assembly, which, yeah, I
mean an Assembly Street is like eighteen lanes wide right there, right, So, yeah,
that's going to be a problem. But and this is
not just a pendant on this, but how many times
if you've been through that intersection, or any intersection on
the campus of USC, how many times have you looked
(46:55):
around and seen every student looking at anything but the rope?
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Well that, yeah, that's part of the problem, right. I mean,
when you're crossing a street like that, you want to
a know about your surroundings and be you know, half
the time, it helps if you make eye contact with
the driver next to you.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
But the only ALLYE contactor making is with their smartphone.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Yeah, you make eye contact, you let them know you're
going across, and you make sure you can see that
they're paying attention. Yeah, and know that you've got the
right of way. Yeah, I mean it really is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
I mean how there could be fifty students ready to
cross the street and every single one of them is
looking at their cell phone. Crazy. All right, our new
tax structure is in place. Now, I know, it's not
the one we all wanted, right hour. You mean South Carolina? Yes, okay, yeah,
oh now, well we're going to extend the Tump track
(47:47):
Tump Trump tax cuts at the twenty twenty six so
that's goodness. But yeah, here in South Carolina, the highest
well the top tax rate, which a few years ago
is at seven percent now down to six So the
big change here six point two to six. Yeah, I know,
not what we're all hoping for. It sounds like all
(48:09):
of the so far announced gubernatorial wannabes or this is
this is one of one of their platforms, and rightfully so,
is to eventually eliminate state income taxes. It can be done.
It's been done in a number of places. If you
think it's only Florida, No, it's what I have about
ten states now in Mississippi's getting ready to be another
(48:30):
one coming up here in the next a year or two.
So our six point two to six percent, what does
it mean for you? Well, not a lot. I suppose
every little bit helps, But it's about twenty bucks savings
on ten every ten thousand of tax bile income. That's it.
(48:51):
So if you're making one hundred thousand dollars a year,
two hundred bucks savings. Enjoy a nice steak somewhere. Every
little bit it doesn't hurt, right, doesn't hurt. Tariffs the
Liberation Day tariffs whis have been put off. Now Trump
says we're going to effect August one, so let the
(49:13):
negotiations begin again. I guess so. The President yesterday, among
other things, setting at twenty five percent tax on goods
coming in from Japan and South Korea. Letters are going out.
Why do I have the feeling that August one may
come and go and this won't happen. We'll see you'll
(49:34):
hear about deals made instead. Yes, the president and maybe
that Yahoo meeting then Yahoo presenting a letter to Trump
saying he's nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Which you got the feeling Trump was genuinely a surprised
and be touched by that. Yeah, I mean Trump would
be the first person to tell you he deserves it.
But I don't think he expected that.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Don't think so. And let's be honest here. I mean,
if if attentions can cool just cool, you know, then yeah,
you would be deserving of such. Biden's former doctor requesting
(50:23):
a postponement in his testimony to a House oversight committee,
claiming client patient or or doctor patient, you know, secrecy
sort of thing. Notice he's not saying I shouldn't be testifying.
(50:46):
I just want to delay it. Do he know something?
We don't know. If that's your argument, that's going to
be your argument until Joe Biden passes one day, right,
Well what would change?
Speaker 4 (50:56):
Well, remember he has cancer. When's the last time you
heard anything about cancer?
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Wait a minute, win, is the last time we heard
anything about that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (51:04):
I mean that was a whole big woo whoaa, and
then daven forgot that and then it suddenly, you know,
flew off the radar again.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
That's right. I know I'm not the only person who
has forgotten that. Yeah, that's bizarre, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
Everything about this story is Yeah, and I certainly don't
want him to die in order thrust to get the truth.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
But you know, the American people do deserve the truth. Yeah.
And if well, we won't be around, none of us,
probably nobody will be and thirty three point three billion years.
But now we've been given a death date for the universe.
(51:50):
O speaking of dying. Okay, Cornell University physicist publishing this
study suggesting the universe will reach a peaks and after
that point it will begin to contract and eventually collapse
back into a single point. Imagine that this massive universe
that we cannot begin to comprehend will contract back to
(52:12):
a single point, what the size of a pin tip.
Maybe the theory is universe will expand like a rubber band,
or expand like a rubber band, eventually will snap back. Um. Okay,
(52:32):
so we've got a date now. They're calling it the
Big Crunch. So a candy bar doesn't it? The Big crunch?
And it will occur in approximately thirty three point three
billion years. So hits up on that one. Ye'll bookmark
that one thing we don't have to worry about, right there. No,
that one
Jesus hell yeah, SAT America and Jerry Hollend for regious
for nation.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is wrong.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
This is Columbia's Morning News with Gary David and Christopher
Thompson on one O three point five FM and five
sixty AM. W voc Hey, good morning, tell you welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's Tuesday, July the eighth, sixteen after six. How the
heck are you? Gary David? That is Christopher Thompson. Good
morning to you, sir, Good morning. Ready to bake again today?
Why not? Is this just? Is this really wearing you down?
Is it just me am I getting old?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I mean it's I think it's worse in the morning.
I think you're used to it when you see the
sun out, But when it's dark, it's a different story.
I get you walk on it just kind of it
hits you like a like a punch to the gut.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, you know, consider this with the high temperature today
at ninety seven give or take, heated decks one hundred
and three give or take. I know it's different. It's
a dry heat out west. But Phoenix, Arizona, for example,
this morning, the low is going to be ninety two.
That's the low. The low ninety two Okay, maybe we
(01:24):
shouldn't complain, So maybe we shouldn't. But anyway, they were
going for one hundred and seventeen air temp in Phoenix today.
It's it's craziness. I out o. The weather has certainly
been top of mind, hasn't it Some issues up in
parts of North Carolina from what was slept over from
chantal which fortunately didn't didn't I didn't even bring hardly
a rain drop around the midlands. Certainly it sortaly brought
(01:46):
some rain for parts of the state, but still searching rescue,
not recovery, but search and rescue in Texas. And we'll
get to more on that and all the finger pointing,
and we just this is another example of how things
have gotten so vitriolic politically in this country. It's just, man,
(02:12):
it's gone too far. We'll get to that a rundown,
big stories, hot topics. We'll start here at home. And
it looks like it's official now, Yes, it is. Stephen Goldfinch,
the senator from the Orie County area, has officially tossed
his hat in the ring to run for Attorney General.
(02:34):
He spoke yesterday formally announcing that bit, which we knew
was coming. No great surprise there did I see it?
And for some reason I didn't see this anywhere this
morning and all my laborious pre show prep. Wow, but
it was laborious today, trust me. But I know I
saw this somewhere yesterday that she hasn't announced yet. But
(02:56):
there's at least a date I guess when she has
a big anouncement, and that is a lieutenant governor Pamela Aviatt,
and I think that's sometime in the next still week
or so. I have not seen that. I saw a
blurb of that yesterday and I haven't seen anything. Not again,
just saying this A has a big announcement coming up.
But she's widely expected, of course, to throw her hat
(03:17):
in the ring for the Republican nomination for governor. We
know that what July twenty seventh, I think is the
date that we'll get a yes or no. He'll get
a yes from up state Don Oldsman, Ralph Norman. Yes.
I think my pre show preface to Libor is now
I'm bring dead. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe so of course,
(03:42):
Alan Wilson's already in and he'll he'll join us tomorrow morning.
By the way, Okay, Gavin'll be in town today, he'll
be he'll be in the state today. He will be
in the Midlands. He'll be aver in Kershaw County. I believe,
if memory serves correct, he'll be chopping by. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
We had a caller off the air yesterday who said
that he had been trying to track down whether any
of these appearances would be quote unquote public appearance. And
I don't think so. I mean, he will be in
the public, but I don't know that they're scheduling crowds.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right, No, I don't think they are. I don't think
they are. He'll be making a stop in Camden, is
he it was it eight rural counties at.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
The mary and Chesterfield, Marlborough, Lawrence Pickens of Coney, Kershawn Florence. Okay, okay,
this is on the road with Governor Newsom. I bet
that's a fun road trip right there.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Uh. Well, just in case you missed it, you know
where into July, you know, the new new things rolled in,
new legislation takes effected. Yeah, your tax rates lower? Now
does that mean much in it? You know of all
that talk about taxes in the last session and the
fair tax and well no, the flat tax, others want
a fair tax or no tax at all. And now
(05:10):
we've got gubernatorial candidates seeking their party nomination on the
Republican side who are talking about just that, and that
is no taxes at all. In our state, our rate
has gone from the top rate from six point two
to six percent. It was as high as seven percent
just a couple of years back. Now, what does this
mean to you? Well, for every ten thousand dollars of
(05:33):
taxable income, it's going to save you about twenty bucks.
So if you're, hey, if you're knocking down two hundred
g a year, you're just going to save yourself four
hundred dollars on taxes. Are you going to actually realize
that in your day to day Probably not, but there
it is. Anyway, it's better than going the other way around.
Right now, Again, the response to what happened in Texas
(05:58):
is really over the top. A lot of liberal outrage,
a lot of finger pointing, a lot of naming and blaming.
You had Chuck Schumer blasting the White House for the
Texas flood, the White House blasting back. We mentioned yesterday
that woman in Houston who was on some advisory board
down there. I've never wondered what it was now. But anyway,
(06:20):
she's been fired from her position after what she put
up on social media about it being all white girls
in this camp mystic And then you had a Houston
based pediatrician now a doctor who what was it she
posted talking about MAGA and that you know you get,
(06:43):
Oh yeah, may all visitors, children, non MAGA voters and
pets be safe and drive Kerr County MAGA voter to
gut FEMA. They deny climate change, May they get what
they voted for. Bless their hearts? What is wrong with people? Man?
You got more than one hundred people dead and you're
(07:04):
making posts like that just over the top and dial
it back people. Brian Stattler, you know what, he actually
made a good point here. He says the media is
partly to blame for what's going on here, for what
he called warning fatigue, you know, and he's got a
(07:25):
very good point. I mean, the media will come out,
you're getting a couple of drops of rain and suddenly
it's in alert day, right, he says, when everything is
labeled extreme weather, nothing seems extreme anymore. And you know,
if we cried wolf one too many times and we're
not paying attention anymore could be. Oh and a lot
(07:50):
of blowback. We mentioned this yesterday briefly. I know we
didn't get into it in too much detail, I don't
think as I recall, but the Jeffrey Epstein case and
now the do the FBI closing the books on this thing,
saying there's no client list, really no client list, and
that yeah he did off himself, and that Manhattan jel cell, well.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Which jail cell. I mean, they've seems like there have
been more than one picture posted and their different cells.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, now we got a new video that was shows
him walking in the corridor with a guard. The whole
thing is is something is wrong here. Yeah, something is wrong,
and hey, you know what, Maga world is revolting over
this and everybody should be something is not right. We
got lots to talk about on that front today. That
and more coming up on this. It is the Tuesday
(08:42):
edition of Columbia's Morning News. That It's always terrific to
have you with us. Thank you so much. I'm just saying,
if you're a squatter, you have more rights than homeowners.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Shot edity just saying what on three point five FMN
five sixty am w VOC this is Columbia's Morning News
with Gary David and Christopher Thompson on one O three
point five FM and five sixty AM w VOC.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It is six forty one morning and it's good to
have you along for Tuesday, July the eighth file. This
one under who needs cyber attacks on our electrical grid
when we've got Democrats. Yeah, we're talking just yesterday about
well again, this has a bit you know, something we've
talked about a lot here in the last year or so,
(09:31):
it seems like more in the past few months actually,
but you know, the uh, the reliability of the electric
grid here in this in this country and the demands
on it. Right now we're discussing yesterday the the you know,
the the loggerheads between Santie Cooper and what is it
(09:51):
Central Electric co Operative? I think it is the one
that feeds electricity down in Monk's Corner in that area,
and that's where the big Google data center is, and
you know, Central Electric wanted to reclassify that Google data
center is, you know, to get some kind of low
ball rate and uh, the the is a no, that's crazy,
(10:15):
but that that one data center uses more electricity than
that all the other commercial clients that Central Electric Cooperative
has combined. So that's just one of the problems when
it comes to supplying enough power for other into these
businesses and households. And it's not just there, it's it's
(10:38):
an increasing issue everywhere. Now that coupled with the Biden
green energy scam is uh because it is the potentially some
big time problems here. The Department of Energy yesterday releasing
a new report warning of impending blackouts if we continue
(10:59):
to shut down power plants without replacing the capacity that
we're losing. Again, case in point the one that is
where its way through the legislature to build that new
gas fire plant over in Cannedies. We discussed this a
year or so back, when the new Biden regulations would
(11:23):
have meant that that plant, in order to control emissions,
would have to purchase extremely expensive technology to try to
mitigate the emissions outputs. Technology that's so expensive that most
of these operators said, you know, it's not worth it
you had that option, or you would have to scale
(11:45):
back how much you were producing in order to meet
these stringent emissions requirements. And I think if I recall correctly,
in the case of that plant and candidates are going
to be building when it opened unless it's some how
got grandfathered in. But when it opened up, it would
only be running it like fifty percent capacity because of
(12:06):
the Biden era rules. Great well, this report that came
out yesterday warning that blackouts could increase by one hundred
percent in the next five years. That's if we continue
to retire these power plants without replacing them. And that
(12:29):
here we go the common refrain that the grid is
not prepared to meet the demand of these power hungry
data centers online.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
We're building a couple more, and we're building a couple
of more. Yeah, right around the one that we're having
issues with already.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
M h. I guess it's on the same provider, right
Central Electric. I they're in the area. Yeah, I don't know. Boy, Okay,
everybody else, turn off your lights because the data centers
need that energy.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Somebody's doing a Google search. Mm hm, and your light's
down Google search? When will your lights come back on?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right? So unless we come up with a more reliable
form of generation of energy quickly, we're going to have
big problems. And the report specifically highlighting wind and solar
to resources pushed by Biden as being responsible for eroding
grid stability, and this report advising that dispatchable generation as
(13:29):
they call it, electricity from sources like coal, like oil,
like gas, like nuclear, are necessary to meet the anticipated
demand in this country of electricity. We already knew this, Okay,
we knew this again, As I said, file this under
(13:52):
who needs cyber attackers trying to take our grid down?
We've got Democrats and Joe Biden and his administration to
have done it for us. And it's not just you
know here or there. This report says that all regional
grid systems in this country are expected to lose reliability
in the coming years unless again, we add more reliable power. Okay,
(14:22):
so again top line here blackouts could not would, but
could increase by one hundred percent by the year twenty
thirty in the next five years.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Uh ironic that I mean ten years ago, that wouldn't
have been as dire as it is now because we're
so dependent on electricity for everything. Sure, it would have
been an inconvenience ten twenty years ago, but what's it's
it's a whole different world now. It is everything relies on,
(15:02):
you know, electricity, making the Internet work.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I'm not I'm not really sure what the thinking was here,
how we would be able to I mean, it's not
like we didn't know that these data centers would be
getting more and more and more of them because we're
so dependent upon them, right, and yet at the same time,
how are you going to feed those beasts. You're not
(15:28):
going to do it with a win. You're not gonna
do a solar You're not going to be able to
defeed anybody by continuing to shut down power plants because
you don't like the emissions without replacing them with something,
and the wind insult aren't going to get it done.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
To my point though, think about it twenty years ago.
You know, if I told you we were getting ready
to have a blackout, what would you be worried about?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The Yeah, the air conditioner, keep the food called the fridge, Yeah,
it'd be it. Yeah, it's a totally different world now.
Now everything revolves around that. Yeah, because everything revolves around
us being on the internet exactly right, banking, right, turning
the lights on in your house, opening the front door,
smart helmes, yeah, yeah, everything. Uh. There have been two,
(16:21):
actually more than that, several, I don't remember the exact number.
Several emergency orders to major grid operators just in the
last couple of months alone, and expect them to continue.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation, otherwise known as NARK,
(16:45):
which is a major grid watchdog, citing an urgent need
for electricity resource and here's the problem though, Great, okay,
so we know we need to do this, but it's
not like you can just snap your fingers and suddenly
that you've done it. You gotta build the things right.
And if they give us a five year a five
year timeline here, but we could see you know, blackouts
(17:08):
double Can we can we get these things online quick
enough to prevent that from happening. I don't know that
we can. You know, for as much grief as it's
caused us, and as much doubt we have, it can
get happen. We've really got to hope that that somebody
comes along and says, you know what, I'll take up
that project over there in Jenkinsville. Yeah, I'll finish that
(17:30):
second reactor. Sure, So we need somebody to do that, man,
and do it quick. I STI don't have much faith
that's gonna happen, but you know, be nice if it
did not on the backs of rate payers.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
This time, of course, you're listening to Columbia's Morning News
on one oh three point five FM and five sixty
am w VOC. Once again, here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
They put out an memo and conclusion of that review.
There was material they did not release because frankly, it
was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography, which is
not something that's appropriate for public consumption. But they committed
to an exhausted investigation. That's what they did, and they
provided the results of.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
That this fifteen after seven, Good Morning. We got to
talk about this. Caroline Levit yesterday at the podium of
the White House, the White House Press Secretary I answering
a lot of questions about this Jeffrey Epstein case, Peter
Doucy or at Fox asking why DOJ has changed its
(18:40):
tune on the existence of a client list. They had
said there was one right in the past. Did they
say there was one? Yeah? At one point, I mean
they were talking about the whole list of things.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And you know, Dan Bongino kind of added fuel to
the fire. What just last week, didn't he two weeks ago?
Two weeks ago Okay, all right, Well it's and why
the administration is backtracking on this story now, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, let's look at a little timeline here. During the campaign,
Trump was asked on numerous occasions if he would release
the Epstein files if re elected. Made an appearance on
a podcast last September, he called it interesting that the
list of clients had not been made. It probably will
(19:40):
be said. He was asked, so, if you're able to,
would you, He said, I would certainly take a look
at it. This past February after taking over the White House,
you remember when they invited a number of conservative influencers
to drop by and they were given well, it turned
(20:00):
out to be unclassified binders. Really stuff. We already knew
nothing new there.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
But they ran home with those binders saying I've got
the Epstein list, and then they opened it and realized
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Right. Pam Bondy, the Attorney General, Well she's under the
spotlight now again. Deucy asking Caroline Levity just heard from
about Bondy apparently confirming back in February that a non
(20:34):
public list of Epstein's clients existed. Levitt's response, she was
saying the entirety of all the paperwork, all of the
paper relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. That's what she was
referring to. And I'll let her speak to that. Oh yeah,
not touching out a ten football, huh. But the question
(20:58):
that he asked was a reference to John Roberts over
Fox News back in February asking Bondi during a TV
interview if the DJ that is planned to release a
list of Epstein's clients. Her response, at the time, it's
sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been
(21:19):
a director by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. He said list.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
He said list, and then Caroline Levitt says, well, no,
she was talking about the file.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Right, But he specifically said list, a list of Epstein's clients.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Which everybody has referred to that list. When you say list,
everybody knows exactly what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
About, right. And for Bondie to say it's sitting on
my desk right now to review, would legia believe there
is a list? So what's going on here? I'm you know,
I'm not sure all that many people cared all that much,
(22:03):
were it not for the fact that now you've got
two administrations that seem to be care covering it up. Yeah.
I don't think you're going to find a single person
on God's green Earth who doesn't believe that there are
a lot of names on a list somewhere of people
(22:26):
that we all know, some we love, some we hate,
and a decision has been made now by multiple administrations
that that can never see the light of day. That's
my opinion. I don't know what. I don't know how
(22:47):
we're lad to believe anything but that.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And you're just talking about the list, not to mention
the fact that of how he died, well.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Exactly, yeah, and yeah, you committed suicide, they say, And
you know a lot of people aren't buying that either. Weird.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, Yeah. The MAGA crowd wasn't really happy with not
any things went yesterday. I mean they you know, they
got that news, they got the fact that Trump announced
that we're sending more weapons to Ukraine, and a lot
of MAGA people are thinking, you know, what's different between
this and two years ago?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Exactly that that that's what bugs the snot out of
you right there? Right This is like, you know, meet
the old boss, new boss, same as the old boss. Now, well,
I think. Let's see, well, Elon Musk has something to
(23:46):
say about it. What did he put out? What's the time?
Oh look it's no one's been arrested. The clock again.
Put out a photo of the you call the official
jeoffardy Epstein pedophile arrest counter set to zero zero zero zero.
(24:14):
I keep waiting for the left to come out, for
the Democrats to come out and say, yeah, this list
isn't released because Donald Trump's names on it. But wait no,
they probably can't do that, can they, because a lot
of their names are probably on that list too. You
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
If I'm Caroline love It, I don't take another question
on this. I let the people who have already talked,
like the Bonginos and the Bondies, who have thrown these
statements out there with anything, without anything to back them up.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I let them explain again. I mean, listen, they maybe
they should have just let this lie. Let this have
been Joe Biden's problem, right that Joe Biden covered it
up and not even take it back up again. Why
would you take this up then, to give us this?
(25:11):
There are powerful forces at play here, man, that don't
want the truth exposed. Powerful forces the likes that we
probably can't even begin to imagine. It's all my opinion. Okay,
I'm not giving you a factor here, I'm giving my opinion.
I can't but I can't think of any other reason
(25:33):
why this is, this is the way it is. Why
would you go there? Why didn't you just let just
let sleeping dogs lie and you know we'd have all
you would have gone into the history as only like
the JFK thing, you know, But then you bring it
back up again, you get people all worked up over it,
you know, and you answer questions like where's the list, Well,
it's on my desk, I'm reviewing it. And then I
(25:55):
tells there is no list. Something doesn't add up. No
times on the Glenbeck Program. It's so rare for me
to be excited. It's going to be very exciting.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
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 2 (26:23):
It is seven forty two. It's good to have you along.
It's Tuesday, July the eighth. All right, so are things
quieted down in Los Angeles. Well, we're not getting the
coverage we were before. We're not seeing the riots and
the streets that we were before. But no, things are
still problematic for Los Angeles. We talked about this yesterday,
mister Thompson. How many jobs in Los Angeles are held
(26:45):
by people who are in this country illegally. I think
the total, well, the number of jobs held by people
who have immigrated this country, all told, legally and illegally,
is like thirty eight percent of the world. Force tells
you how dependent we are on immigration, Yes, especially places
(27:07):
like Los Angeles. Right now, all these folks are not illegal, right,
but there are a good portion of workers in LA
and and a lot of other places here too, that
are in this country undocumented. If you want to be
politically correct, no, never mind illegally. This must be what
(27:29):
it is. Let's say call it what it is, all right.
So the story yesterday we talked about was how you
know LA is griding to a halt because of the
ice raids, and that these folks are not showing up
for work, they're fraid to go anywhere, YadA, YadA, YadA. Okay, Well,
yesterday the FEDS descended upon MacArthur Park. You may remember
(27:50):
that from the song all those years ago, What a
horrible song. I hated that song. Oh, I hate that song.
It didn't make much sense. No, Well, these days MacArthur
Park is a place that sees a lot of crime,
a lot of drug use. You know, not the place
you want to take the fam right, But a number
(28:12):
of illegals tend to want to congregate there for some reason.
And yesterday the Fed showed up. They raided the park.
There were some on horseback, some had rifles and armored vehicles.
According to the LA Times, protesters yelled and cursed at
the agents, debanding they leave the park. There were also
about ninety National Guard troops who were deployed there. Deployed
(28:36):
by the governor. I'm guessing not. I don't know he's
in town today or in the state. Maybe we should
ask him. No, it wouldn't been deployed by the governor. Now, well,
Karen Bash decided to get all bowed up over this.
The LA mayor. She shows up and she plays what
(28:59):
plays he for the illegal immigrant crowd. They need to
leave right now, right now, this is unacceptable. Just wait
and see they'll be leaving soon. Well, they did leave.
They were there and they saw what they needed to
see and didn't see anybody do arrest Wait a minute,
I thought they just showed up and arrested people. Willy nilly.
(29:19):
Wasn't that a story? Isn't that? The storyline doesn't matter.
If you look like you don't belong here, you get
rounded up and deported. And that's not the way they
do it. So, no, things are not quiet in Los
Angeles by any stretch of the imagination. Yeah, here we go.
There's another story here. Iconic city is grinding through a halt,
(29:43):
as Ice rates said, as many migrant workers into hiding there.
This is another another version of that same story. So
Bash shows up, calls the show of force a political
stunt meant to terrorize immigrants. What I saw I look
at a city under siege and an occupation because of
(30:05):
one park, because Arthur Metropolitan City exactly. Yes, it's you know,
because leadership like yours has allowed it to become what
it is today. Now sticking with this theme here, and
(30:26):
I can't even believe I'm seeing this in black and
white on the page in front of me yesterday, Hakeem Jeffreys.
I guess he's recovered now from his eight hour speech
the other day, would not rule out the possibility of
supporting some in his parties calls to defund ICE. Oh,
(30:55):
he went on the view. Well, okay, yeah, right, so
he's preaching at the choir. He was asked by Melissa
Farah Griffin. Some Democrats, amid the criticism of ICE right
now due to these rays, have started calling for defunding ICE.
Do you think that's effective going into the midterms and
do you support those calls? Well, he talked all around it,
(31:20):
but he would not specifically rule out defunding ICE ahead
of the midterms.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He talked all around it, as Jim Clyburn's just off
camera waving.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Don't say it, don't say it.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Because this is the party that said defund the police, yeah,
and immediately took a tailspin in the next midterm election.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Right, And they wanted to learn from their mistakes, and
they keep showing the American people they have not learned
from their mistakes. You are the House Minority leader, you're
the de facto leader of your party, you and Chucky,
and you're not going to say no, we're not going
(32:03):
to defund ICE. Okay, But then things like this happen.
You probably heard the news at the McCallan, Texas Border
Patrol building, an active shooter with a rifle and tactical
gears shooting at border patrol agents. This was yesterday. One
(32:24):
local officer was injured. Nobody died, Well, somebody did die,
the shooter, right, Yes, they took the shooter out. Now
you might think this was a cartel member or somebody
like that. Now this was a Ryan Mousqueta of Michigan,
guy that just showed up in Texas in a vehicle
(32:44):
with a Michigan license plate taking shots at border patrol agents.
He's from Michigan, where you know we're close to a
border there. This was not an illegal immigrant apparently, But
this was, no doubt, somebody who has been listening to
and been influenced by the call from the left to
(33:08):
stop the madness that ice that border patrol, the Republicans
that Trump are bad and must be stopped at all costs.
This is what you get when you continue to demonize
and vivilize. Yeah, vilis a word I'm making up wards now, Yeah,
(33:29):
this is this is what happens. This is what happens.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
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.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
At just about sixteen minutes after eight o'clock in the
morning for Tuesday, July the eight. Thanks for being with us.
I am Gary David. He is Christopher Thompson. Yes, sir,
you know you would you would hope, actually, you would
just think it would be a given that this disaster
(34:06):
in Texas. One hundred and four lives lost now is
that the latest? I mean, the count keeps going up here. Yeah,
how many children lost their lives that we focused on
that camp Mystic and all the girls of that camp,
But those were I'm sure are not the only children
who have perish as a result of this horrific flooding
(34:31):
that took place there. You would you would just think
it's it's times like these that can kind of bring
the nation together, at least for a little while. But
the reaction and the response to it has been just
downright unbelievable. Now. I know there were there were questions
(34:55):
as to Okay, wow, how did they not know this
was coming? Well, well, you know, we've seen the timeline now,
and we know that this happened in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
And I don't know if you've seen the time lapse
video of how quickly that river rose. Yeah, I mean
it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
There were watches that were issued the day before, and
then you know, sometimes mother nature just does something like
this and you just it's an act of God. You know,
you just can't account for it. I heard said that
you could have taken a dart and thrown it at
a map of Texas and you couldn't have found a
(35:37):
worse place for this to happen. The topography, the geography,
everything just combined into making us a perfect storm scenario here. Yeah,
we got to find somebody to blame right now. That
runs the gamut from you know again, Democrats and Chuck
(35:57):
Schumer in particular, being accused I was spreading falsehoods by
the White House. You know, the Democrat Party's line has been, well,
you know, Trump's cuts, Trump's cuts, Trump's cuts, weren't enough
people of the National Weather Service office, blah blah blah
blah blah blah. Well, we've heard from the National Weather Service,
and we've heard from them saying they actually had extra
(36:17):
staff on duty that night. We've heard the timeline when
the watches and warnings went out, and again the problem
being A the time of night when everybody was sleeping,
and b is to have mentioned how quickly the guadalou bros.
I mean just unbelievably quickly. I mean just crazy, crazy fast.
(36:42):
So Schumer's demanding an investigation into vacancies of the National
Weather Service in Texas, even though again as the National
Weather Services said, we were not only fully staffed, but
we have additional staff on hand that evening and they're
not there.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Noah's I mean, everybody, every governmental agency has respet bonded,
and yet Schumer says, okay, I want to learn more.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
So that's been the political response. But then you've got
those on the left. I mean, I don't even know
how you characterize this. We talked yesterday about that woman
in Houston who was I don't know, on some food
insecurity boarder or what have you. I think Cadie Perkins
(37:36):
who pointed out that the lives lost and I can't
miss it. They were all white girls, white Christian girls.
If you're not a white Christian girl, you couldn't have
gotten it. I mean, decided to take that route. Then
we find out yesterday theres a post from Christina Propst
who was a pediatrician in Texas, who post Kerr County,
(38:03):
MAGA voted to gut FEMA, they deny climate change. May
they get what they voted for? Bless their hearts? Hoping
that MAGA people affected by the flooding should reap the
effects of what they voted for, and expressing hope that
non MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. And
(38:24):
this is a pediatrician. Um she's no longer employed by
Bluefish Pediatrics. Needless to say, you had the editor in
chief of some outfit called minus touch dot com. Ron
Philipowski is his name. He writes. The people in Texas
(38:47):
voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott.
They're getting exactly this is exactly Thats exactly what they're getting.
He writes, again, I got no words for this. You
got one hundred and four, No doubt that number go up.
(39:07):
Four people dead, A good number of those are children
or kids. And this is where you go with this thing?
Huh the h Where are we right now? Man? Where
are we when people think it's okay to go up
(39:30):
on social media and say things like this. Okay, another
quick angle to this story. Brian Statler, who's back over
at CNN. He was there for a long time and
(39:51):
he lost his gig, and now he's back in his
Reliable Sources newsletter, he pins some of the blame on
this on the media, and he says the media is
partly to blame for what he called warning fatigue. He's
(40:12):
got a very good point here that warning fatigue, he says,
is being cited by more experts, is one of the
causes of this disaster. Now again in this one, it
was that those warnings come out in the middle of
the night. But he's the point he's making is that
everything these days they's livered is labeled extreme mourning, right,
(40:36):
so much so that you know, nothing seems extreme anymore.
Every time you turn around, there's another extreme morning.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Nobody wants to be the one that doesn't make the
call if it is extreme, right, So they're all extreme.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So but I mean, how many times do you alert
on this weather event or that weather event, and and
and it's it's it's nothing, it's just it's it's clickbait,
it's tune end bait.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
We've talked about that before being on the coast with
hurricane watches, right, and eventually you get your third or
fourth of the summer and you realize, all right, we
haven't been hit yet, no big deal, and that could
be the one.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
That's when you get the one.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Yeah, exactly, But yeah, you're right these you know, but
I think i'm and I think Stilter knows this.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
The TV stations are the worst. Oh yeah, well, they're
horrible with this. I gotta tell you. I know they've
done this for years. I know, but to the point
where I would tell you if Fox News Channel really
has breaking news, I'm gonna miss it because of the
breaking news banner because every time they come back from
a break, it's breaking news. Just trying to get you
(41:45):
to stay tuned for a little while longer. Yeah, but
I'm sorry. How many alerts do we need to put
out there? Well, let's just save that when we really
need it. Because we've cried wolf more than one two
many times now, and he raises a very good point,
is a solid point. We become immune to it. Everything's
(42:06):
an emergency until it's not. And then when it is, Oh,
we've been so preconditioned to hearing that that we don't
even pay attention to it.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Listen anytime when I'm going to work with the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
An I downloaded the app on my phone.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
I can listen whenever I want 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
doub VOC sametime.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
For our final thoughts today forty on a Tuesday morning,
let's start with Gavin Newsome again, pick up where the
rash dot guys left off. Of course, he'll he'll be
in the Midlands. He'll be over in Camden. This will
be at the uh Oh. He'll be the number of
counties across the state today and tomorrow, but he'll be
in the Camden today for the state's Democrat Party county
(43:02):
by county, the Path to Power event. According to the
Democrat Party, this event is aiming to connect our rural counties. Oh.
This is why all the rural counties, Okay, connect our
rural counties which face critical issues such as jobs, infrastructure, schools,
hospitals and disaster recovery challenges. And Gavin is coming here
(43:23):
to solve all of it for you. Okay. The state
GOP released a response, reading, apparently California Governor Gavin Newsom
is looking for some new voters to fool as he
plans to run for president in twenty twenty eight. Or
maybe he's looking for voters who left California do to
(43:45):
high taxes, government overregulation of well good sanity. Come back,
please come back. Okay, Well, it is interesting that again
is the guys mentioned in the Rash thought update there
that you know, all of the the wannabes of the
Democrat Party feel it's necessary to come to a state
which hasn't actually voted for a Democrat since Jimmy Carter
(44:06):
in nineteen seventy six. Kind of curious, right, I mean?
Is James Clybert, Is he truly that big of a
king maker and the Democrat Party to where they just
they came here to yeah, to kiss the ring, to
try to get his blessing.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
I don't know that his word would carry the same
weight after what just happened with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Right who to the very end defended Joe to the
very end. We'll see. Okay, So welcome to South Carolina.
Governor Knewsom, we hope you enjoy your stay here. And yeah, okay,
(44:48):
Stephen Goldfinch, the Oriy County senator, officially tossing his hat
into the ring, not for governor, for attorney general, as
was expected making that announcement yesterday.
Speaker 4 (45:05):
Okay, he'll get a lot of attention because his message is,
you know, even though he's in government, is you know,
almost anti government, anti regulation, anti this, anti It's just
a lot of his issues are related to you know,
where he lives on the beach and where his constituents live.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Yeah, said if he if elected, his top priorities would
include addressing crimes such as sex, traffick in child pornography,
and preventing federal government over each day. You have it, okay,
h And I still I don't know. I gotta check again,
because I swear to you I saw a brief mention
this yesterday that there's even a day given when Lieutenant
(45:48):
Governor Pam Labatt says she will make an exciting announcement,
which of course is going to be that she's going
to throw her hat in the ring for a governor.
You do it? Think now? In other news, here's the
challenge for the day to day, ask ten people at
random who the lieutenant governor is. You see how many
(46:11):
get it right. And that's not just a her issue.
That's anybody who's I lieutenant governor issure in South Carolina.
I glanced just briefly at an article on the state
newspaper's website that posted yesterday with this headline, USC campus
intersections are dangerous. Data shows then they become they became deadly.
(46:32):
In particular, they were pointing out a lot of discussion
here on Blossom Street, Blossom and Assembly, which, yeah, I
mean an Assembly Street is like eighteen lanes wide right there, right, So, yeah,
that's going to be a problem. But and this is
not just a pendant on this, but how many times
if you've been through that intersection, or any intersection on
the campus of USC, how many times have you looked
(46:55):
around and seen every student looking at anything but the rope?
Speaker 4 (47:00):
Well that, yeah, that's part of the problem, right. I mean,
when you're crossing a street like that, you want to
a know about your surroundings and be you know, half
the time, it helps if you make eye contact with
the driver next to you.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
But the only ALLYE contactor making is with their smartphone.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Yeah, you make eye contact, you let them know you're
going across, and you make sure you can see that
they're paying attention. Yeah, and know that you've got the
right of way. Yeah, I mean it really is phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
I mean how there could be fifty students ready to
cross the street and every single one of them is
looking at their cell phone. Crazy. All right, our new
tax structure is in place. Now, I know, it's not
the one we all wanted, right hour. You mean South Carolina? Yes, okay, yeah,
oh now, well we're going to extend the Tump track
(47:47):
Tump Trump tax cuts at the twenty twenty six so
that's goodness. But yeah, here in South Carolina, the highest
well the top tax rate, which a few years ago
is at seven percent now down to six So the
big change here six point two to six. Yeah, I know,
not what we're all hoping for. It sounds like all
(48:09):
of the so far announced gubernatorial wannabes or this is
this is one of one of their platforms, and rightfully so,
is to eventually eliminate state income taxes. It can be done.
It's been done in a number of places. If you
think it's only Florida, No, it's what I have about
ten states now in Mississippi's getting ready to be another
(48:30):
one coming up here in the next a year or two.
So our six point two to six percent, what does
it mean for you? Well, not a lot. I suppose
every little bit helps, But it's about twenty bucks savings
on ten every ten thousand of tax bile income. That's it.
(48:51):
So if you're making one hundred thousand dollars a year,
two hundred bucks savings. Enjoy a nice steak somewhere. Every
little bit it doesn't hurt, right, doesn't hurt. Tariffs the
Liberation Day tariffs whis have been put off. Now Trump
says we're going to effect August one, so let the
(49:13):
negotiations begin again. I guess so. The President yesterday, among
other things, setting at twenty five percent tax on goods
coming in from Japan and South Korea. Letters are going out.
Why do I have the feeling that August one may
come and go and this won't happen. We'll see you'll
(49:34):
hear about deals made instead. Yes, the president and maybe
that Yahoo meeting then Yahoo presenting a letter to Trump
saying he's nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Which you got the feeling Trump was genuinely a surprised
and be touched by that. Yeah, I mean Trump would
be the first person to tell you he deserves it.
But I don't think he expected that.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Don't think so. And let's be honest here. I mean,
if if attentions can cool just cool, you know, then yeah,
you would be deserving of such. Biden's former doctor requesting
(50:23):
a postponement in his testimony to a House oversight committee,
claiming client patient or or doctor patient, you know, secrecy
sort of thing. Notice he's not saying I shouldn't be testifying.
(50:46):
I just want to delay it. Do he know something?
We don't know. If that's your argument, that's going to
be your argument until Joe Biden passes one day, right,
Well what would change?
Speaker 4 (50:56):
Well, remember he has cancer. When's the last time you
heard anything about cancer?
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Wait a minute, win, is the last time we heard
anything about that? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (51:04):
I mean that was a whole big woo whoaa, and
then daven forgot that and then it suddenly, you know,
flew off the radar again.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
That's right. I know I'm not the only person who
has forgotten that. Yeah, that's bizarre, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
Everything about this story is Yeah, and I certainly don't
want him to die in order thrust to get the truth.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
But you know, the American people do deserve the truth. Yeah.
And if well, we won't be around, none of us,
probably nobody will be and thirty three point three billion years.
But now we've been given a death date for the universe.
(51:50):
O speaking of dying. Okay, Cornell University physicist publishing this
study suggesting the universe will reach a peaks and after
that point it will begin to contract and eventually collapse
back into a single point. Imagine that this massive universe
that we cannot begin to comprehend will contract back to
(52:12):
a single point, what the size of a pin tip.
Maybe the theory is universe will expand like a rubber band,
or expand like a rubber band, eventually will snap back. Um. Okay,
(52:32):
so we've got a date now. They're calling it the
Big Crunch. So a candy bar doesn't it? The Big crunch?
And it will occur in approximately thirty three point three
billion years. So hits up on that one. Ye'll bookmark
that one thing we don't have to worry about, right there. No,
that one
