sixty AM w VOC and.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We wish you a very good Thursday morning for the
seventh day of the month of August. Welcome to it.
Sixteen minutes after six o'clock. I am Gary back, and
I'm not expecting to be off anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I was gonna say, why don't you settle in and
stay a while last time, take.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Your shoes off, stay a wile. Yeah, I guess I'll
have to do that now. Good to be back with
you today. I'd rather been here yesterday than well.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Anyway, we'll just tell us everything's okay, Everything is good. Okay,
we got to clear clean bill of health, so that's
all we need.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Good. And I'm one even hungry. You go a day
without eating and then suddenly you lose your appetite. I
thought it would be ravenous yesterday, but no, maybe I
need a cool and oscopy. Your coldon clearly cleans. All
I do is eat. So that's Christopher Thompson right over
there and We welcome you in and thank you for
joining us this morning. Uh, let's jump right into it, friends,
(01:22):
making up for lost time here and we've got stuff
to do. The rundout, the big stories, the hot topics
for Thursday, August seventh, and well you heard it here
yesterday on the rash thought on w VOC uh and
across the state where the uh that that feature airs
Alan Wilson's father, technically step father, but still Joe Wilson,
(01:43):
the congressman weighing in on this gubernatorial race, okay, ratcheting
things up a little bit, then releasing a statement afterwards
going after Nancy Mace and how she's just not a
team player in DC, that it's just all about her, and.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's about it. That's about the message I guess from
the congressman. Well, and he praised Ralph Norman. Ye, thinking
that Ralph Norman was a great addition to Washington when
he was there, and Mace not so much. Yeah, and
Mace's campaign responded.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yes, yes they did. So we'll get into all of
that this morning. Well, we told you it was going
to be like that. It was going to be a
lot said and written about this race, and we're just
getting started here. Meantime, the Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evatt talking
yesterday about the the Palvetto pen, the idea for one
(02:36):
of these alligator Alcatraz like ice attention facilities here in
the state of South Carolina. Well, that's a popular topic
right now, boy, isn't it. Though. Indiana's in a new
partnership with a DHS. This is this is gan steam.
More and more states are looking to increase ice detention space. Wow,
(03:00):
by the way, making her first stop as you just
heard mention of the update at what she's calling the
Mother of Old Town Hall's tour. This was in Myrtle
Beach yesterday. All of the competitors on the Republican side
to a person man and or a woman are talking
(03:22):
about this and that is getting rid of income tax,
state income tax in South Carolina. Well, how would that work?
How do you make up for what accouncilor about forty
five percent of the state's revenue. How are other states
doing it? We'll have to delve into that today as well. Meantime,
on the ag front, David Pascoe, the former Democrat now
(03:42):
Republican who has not yet officially announced right he had
announced he's running for ag unless I just missed it
while I was out, But he's apparently raised a good
bit of cash here, quite impressive according to resort reports.
Well again, we're talking about different levels of state office
(04:03):
and how much money it takes to run. We're talking
about just under one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars,
which for that race, not a bad haul right there. Meantime,
r J May suspended behind bars. New news breaking yesterday
that May shared videos. According to reports, this as allegedly
(04:23):
shared videos of child sex abuse materials with a nurse
in Oklahoma, a male nurse who's now facing his own
federal charges is according to court documents.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, we tiptoed around that story a bit yesterday, but
I mean some of the details are just lurid.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, there's no point getting into all that. But and
to think, I mean this unfortunately probably happens more often
than you think. Our National Guarden here in our states
now available to join ice efforts, not just on the
border where we have had troops into but in other
states as well. A new agreement being in it into
(05:06):
to assist ice inside states, not just at the border.
This little naval South Carolina National Guard troops to show
up to places like them California or wherever they are
are called. A federal jury finding Cynthia Dolores Holland guilty
this week of fraudulently tabtaining still security benefits. This is
from her dead mother. Holland is a former elections official
(05:33):
in Aiken County. It doesn't make you feel good at all,
that does it. It looks like everything they've got scheduled
for Columbia Metro today is still scheduled, but United with
the ground stop yesterday they had some technical issues and
determining weight and balance on their planes, which is crucial
otherwise you know, not go well. So they had to
stop everything yesterday. They've got it back up and running again,
(05:54):
but delays and cancelations pushing things back. A lot of
flights were affected by that. But again, as far as
what's scheduled at least today out of a Columbia Metro,
no delays being reported. All United flights out of c
AE are scheduled to leave at their intended times at
this point in time, but you might want to check
ahead anyway, all right, to hire tariffs going into effect
(06:16):
on dozens of countries today, Here we go again with
more tariffs than the President, saying he plans to impose
a one hundred percent tariff on computer chips that prompting
a game changing investment from Apple. Is the Apple CEO
Jim Cook not his name Jim Cook, Tim Tim Okay,
Tim Jim whichever, somebody with it, Jim Cook announcing a
(06:41):
big investment in the Oval, in the Oval, in the Oval. Yes.
In fact, the Texas standoff continues. The Democrats continue to
be outside of the state, a lot of threats continue
to be made, and now news that Beto O'Rourke's political
action committee George Soros bat Group is picking up a
(07:05):
tab for this stunt, the Beato bribe. The Attorney General
there Ken Paxton announcing an investigation into a group organized
by Bathole for providing those funding fundings for these trips. Fortunately,
no one dying, but five injured. Again. Breaking news yesterday
(07:25):
as a twenty eight year old Army sergeant opens fire
on fellow troops at Fort Stewart, Georgia. I understood I
didn't see this, but I was told that a local
TV station actually initially reported that this was Fort Jackson.
Oh God, well, no, it was Fort Georgia. And Stuart.
This guy apparently just recently had been arrested for DUI
(07:46):
did not use an army issued weapon his own personal weapon.
News coming out the last day or two, the DJ
is considering releasing the Gallain Maxwell interview in the Epstein case.
She though opposes unsealing of great injury testimony is requested
by the USA. G Pam Bondi and Lindsey Langston twenty
(08:08):
twenty four winner the Miss United States Beauty pageant, filing
a restraining order against Corey Mills, the congressman from Florida,
the Republican, after she says he she accused him of
threatening to release nude videos of her. Nowt court, You've
been keeping up with Corey Mills. It seems like it's
something new every day with this guy. All sorts of
(08:29):
controversy surrounding Mills, and this is just the latest together.
These two had a thing at one at one time,
and well that's the only thing that seems to have
gone sour with Mills. Okay, we'll get to that. We'll
get tomorrow coming up on this the Thursday morning edition
of Columbia's Morning News. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Lexington Orthopedix and Sports Medicine brings you up best game
coverage this fall on one O three point five FM
and five sixty am doubled UVOC. 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 (09:11):
It is seven twice I've done that this morning, Doc. God,
they gave you too many drugs yesterday from that procedure.
I'm telling you six forty one this Thursday. At least
I got the day right. August seventh. How many days
of football? So the game Cocks twenty.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Four the game Cocks. I think it's sixteen until the
start of the season. Week zero for the game Cocks.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
The thirty first for the game Cocks, right, correct, So
twenty four days away. Yeah, if I can even do
math this morning, something like that. Week zero has win
in sixteen days, I think so. Yeah. Wow, you mentioned
lunch of NFL preseason games tonight, right? Do they stagger
those so you can watch like the first series of
each one of them and then be done all forth
to watch it? Yeah? Probably, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I mean there are people around here who like the
NFL preseason just because that's the time you get to see,
you know, players you might have watched at the college.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Level last year and may never see again for some
of them. Yes, yeah, I didn't realize that you mentioned
the J. C. Horn injury. I don't remember. He is
the top paid cornerback in the NFL. Now, yeah, he's
he's a big time one hundred million dollar man. Yeah
wow wow, Okay, And how old? Twenty five to forty six?
That's how do you deal with that at that age? Right?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
How do you deal with it being even younger? Being
in college now?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right? These kids are making that kind of money. Yeah,
so yeah, you got you got a lot of guys
around here, college kids and others who would you know,
be really happy if the state would do away state
income taxes? Right? Sure? How cool would that be for them?
Probably so and for the rest. And this is this
is the populist theme, and it's one that's again every
Republican candidate for the governor is talking about it. Uh,
(10:55):
you kind of have to, right, But how does how
does this work? And it will even be a campaign
issue because I don't know, you know, the State House
when they get back session in January, there will least
be some that will get calling again for just a
total elimination of income tax in our state. You kind
of get the feeling now right that the ball is
started to roll downhill on this subject and the ain'
(11:18):
nothing gonna stop it. Just to question how long it
takes to get there. Now, Technically the state House they'll
be looking again at UH tax reduction when they reconvene
in January. But there's gonna be a lot of calls
from outside, I think, an inside the legislature to just
(11:39):
do it totally. It will certainly be talked about on
the campaign trail for the gubernatorial candidates for the Republican
primary if we ever get one for the Democrats, don't
expect them to bring that up. But again, how do
how does how? How would this work? LTx TV did
an interview with tax law professor over in Carolina who
(12:02):
pointed out that, yeah, the state's like Texas and Florida
and Tennessee who don't have any state income tax. You know,
they're getting their money. Making the note that Texas has
a property tax it's three times as high as out
here in South Carolina. Florida's property tax about twice hours
on average. Tennessee their sales taxes is nearly ten percent,
(12:27):
So it's got to shift somewhere, right, I mean, you
don't give up about what forty five percent of the
state's revenue, although I know I've I've heard from a
lot of you. No wait a minute, Gary, we get
these huge surpluses at the end of every year. Yeah,
we do. But those surpluses aren't big enough. I don't
believe near big enough to make up for a forty
(12:49):
five percent loss in revenue for the state. It has
to come from somewhere else. Now, from a Democrat standpoint,
they're going to take this argument, which is some A
professor pointed out that if if if the idea is okay,
ditch the state income tax, but you know, raise sales
(13:10):
tax for example, that has a disproportionate uh you know
uh effect on lower income individuals because now they're going
to be paying a higher se We would all be
able to have a more of an impact on them,
especially considering that in many cases they're not paying state
state income tax at all. So that would be the
(13:31):
argument for the Democrats over the state House, and any
Democrat that might one of these days decide to run
for governor. If that ever happens, you know, just for show,
of course they're not going to win. Well it'll be well, well, well,
well we'll figure out all this eventually. I suppose Virginia
(13:56):
the uh much of the news. Fairfax County Public Schools
System has a launched an investigation, and the accusations that
staff they're at the school. Okay, that school staff arranged
abortions for students without notifying their parents.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That's a step farther than any talk of gender change.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
This is Centerville High School in Union Hill, Virginia, where
the allegations are that school staff arranged and bankrolled abortions
for girls back in twenty twenty one, including a seventeen
year old. The district says they're not aware of any
(14:49):
instances like that. I bet they're not. Okay, you're taking
upon yourself, yeah, I suppose. Yeah, if you're if you're
a staffer at a school and you decide that it's
uh in this student's best interest number one, a student
(15:10):
you have no relationship with to have an abortion, and
you arranged to have set abortion and maybe even bankrolls
set abortion. Yeah, I guess you're not notifying the parents.
That's kind of an afterthought, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And where do you where do you find money in
the budget for that? I mean, schools these days are
so tight with the money, and you're suggesting there's some
kind of slush fund that they were able to use.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
No news on where the money might have come from.
You know, there are plenty of you know, bleeding heart
liberal organizations out there that I'm sure it had been
happy to bankroll this. Well, how do you keep it quiet? That? Well,
that's true, but then again, they are liberal, bleeding heart
organizations and they're probably more than happy to keep it quiet. Now,
no no idea if this has actually happened or not.
These are the allegations, but there is an investigation going on.
(15:57):
And you're right, this is more than just you know,
transgender bathrooms here. Wow, it's pretty heavy stuff right there.
Get us from twenty twenty one. They say there is
an investigation going on to try to get to the
bottom of this. I was almost abused by the by
(16:20):
the press report that so they had arranged for these
without notifying their prayers, as if you know, hey, let
mom and dad know we're arranging for an abortion for
you know, little Susie, and we'll pay for it and
everything'll be okay. Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen. But remember
(16:41):
mom and dad never know best anymore. According to these
school officials, they know best. It is six forty nine.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
We use morning news on one oh three point five
FM on five sixty am WVOC. Once again, here's Gary
David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It is fifteen minutes after seven o'clock. It's good to
have you with us. Send it this Thursday, August the seventh.
Good morning to you. I'm Gary David. That is Christopher Thompson.
And this is this is August seventh, Wins primary day
June ninth or June something like that. It's ten months away.
(17:18):
How long can this go on? Huh? We have a
crowded field on the Republican side. And well the DNC
called it a full uh, a full clown car the
other day in their statement after Nancy masoner the race, well,
the Democrats side, the clown car is empty at this point.
There are no clowns there in the cloud class send
(17:42):
in the clouds. There are clowns, are just not in
the in the car. Yet it may never be.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All the focus on the Republican the gubernatorial primary in
ten months, and it is ratcheted up early, as we
knew it would with this many well known names in
the race, and yesterday it ratcheted up a bit more.
Jonathan Kelly were talking to the Congressman Joe Wilson, the
(18:09):
father of Alan Wilson, the AG and Republican Republican gubernatorial
nominee hopeful, and then Wilson's office releasing a statement ripping
Nancy Mace, accusing her of show voting in DC. The Congressman,
in his statement accused Mace of selfishness, inconsistency, and disloyalty
(18:34):
to the Republican Party and as opposed to Courier put
it in his statement saying that she often skips the
hard work of governing. The quote from the moment she
entered Congress, she made it clear she had no interest
in being a team player. The Congressman saying that Mace
declined his personal invitation to join the Republican Study Committee
(18:58):
because she wanted to be, he says, as a party
of one, rather than to join the oldest and largest
conservative caucus in the US House. Not a team player,
no team works, self promotion over service which is the
viewpoint a lot of people have in Nancy Mace. I mean,
let's face it. The Mace campaign countering with their own statement, quoting,
(19:22):
no one is surprised career politician Joe Wilson is attacking
Nancy Mays to protect his son's failing campaign. The Mace
campaign went on to further accused Congressman Wilson focusing on
symbolic gestures like honoring Ukine's president Ukraine's president rather instead
of holding his own set accountable. Again, the Mace campaign
(19:47):
continues to claim the AG's office has been turning a
blind diet of prosecuting criminals, including pedophiles. Well, this goes
back and forth, back and forth, back and forth between
these two camps, and don't expect that to end until
next June. This is this is the way it's going
(20:08):
to be. There's been bad blood between the Joe Wilson
and the Nancy Mace for for for quite a while now.
The Congressman endorsed Mace's rival like Katie Errington back in
twenty twenty two in a very hotly contested primary, and
(20:31):
again two years later the Congressman Wilson back to Catherine Templeton.
So this is not new. This is this goes far
beyond the governor's race here in South Carolina. Those two
have have but not gotten along from the get go. Meanwhile,
(20:51):
a little bit of news made from the Lieutenant Governor
Pamela Evitt, who addressed her calls for an immigration detention
facility here in South Carolina, you know, kind of like
Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. She was asked yesterday about her proposal
(21:12):
for the Palmetto pin pe n okay pen, Palmeto pen.
Everybody's got a unique name for their version of this
ice facility. Yeah, but let's face it, nobody's gonna top
Alligator Alcatraz. It's gonna be hard to top that one
takes the cake. So yeah, Evetts has been calling for
(21:34):
a and more and more states are hopping on board this. Well,
Republican states that is of expanding ice detention facilities here.
She saying she thinks facility in South Carolina would be
part of giving law enforcement every tool of a toolbox. Now,
(21:54):
the other contenders in this race of well, Nancy Mace
is made of a call for the detention facility here
in our state. She did that last month, Alan Wilson
and Senator Josh Kimberl have been encouraging sheriffs to work
directly with Ice and no specific comment on the potential facility.
(22:16):
Every tool in the toolbox now, the other contenders in
this race have well. Nancy Mays has made a call
for the detention facility here in our state. She did
that last month. Alan Wilson and Senator Josh Kimberl have
(22:37):
been encouraging sheriffs to work directly with Ice and no
specific comment on the potential facility. The a c l U,
in opposition to this idea, launched an online petitions that
they call petition that claims to have had over twelve
thousand signatures as of just just Yesterdaday.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Okay, exciting times on the Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
It's so rare for me to be excited.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
It's going to be very exciting.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
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 (23:25):
It's seven forty Good morning, Thursday morning, August the seventh.
We appreciate you joining us this morning. My name is
Gary David, along with Christopher Thompson and the rest of
the team. This is Columbia's Morning News. All right. So
we were discussing in the last segment, and you heard
yesterday on the rash thought Congressman Joe Wilson blasting Nancy Mace,
the latest and probably probably last entrance into this gubernatorial
(23:49):
primary race on the Republican side, as being selfish, not
lord of the party, a one man you know band
so space the Maze campaign responding, I'm saying, among other things,
if the Wilson family thinks political favors and last names
(24:11):
will stop her, they're in for a rude awakening that
the state deserves a fight or not a dynasty. Well,
Alan Wilson now joining us to respond to all that
this morning on the Columbia's Morning News. Good morning, sir, Hey,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
It's great to be with you. Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Gary, Yes, sir, we got a long way to go
before we get to that primary and this thing is
ramping up early. Your response to your father's statement into
the Maze campaign.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Statement, Well, first off, you know, Dad is probably one
of the most genteel, nicest easiest to get along with
people you'll ever meet in Congress or anywhere on planet Earth.
And the one thing that he has consistently told me
is that the person that you're talking about is someone
who is unreliable, that people in Congress find unreliable, and
someone who is really just a self promoter. You know,
(25:00):
everyone keeps talking back to the bad blood, going back
to his endorsement of her opponents and two previous primaries.
But the reality is is it goes back further because
of how she's treated him and other members of the delegation.
You know, I also thought that their response, the Mace
campaign's response that this is him stepping in to save
me from my flailing and failing campaign is interesting because
(25:21):
she was on Fox News last week telling everyone that
I was the one to beat, that this was a
race between me and her. The reality is Nancy Mace
has really trying to cover up for her own failures
as a member of Congress, and she's just attacking.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know, we welcome to the Mace campaign. They haven't
reached out to us yet at this point, but if
they do, we're happy to have her on to talk
about all this. But that is that's a cinement that
seems to be shared by a lot of people that
she's kind of in it for herself. And it's kind
of just NonStop chaos when it comes to Nancy Mace.
And yeah, you know, is that the sort of thing
(25:56):
we want here in South Carolina in an executive position
like governor. I hear that a lot, But I'm just
I'm curious at this point. We have so far to
go here. I mean, how how how high could this
thing ratchet up here between now and June? My goodness?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well, the reality is is that you know, I'm being
attacked for you know, my offices roles in various cases
around South Carolina. And the reason I think I'm being
attacked there, First, I think she sees me as a threat.
And secondly, I think this is my strongest point. You know,
our office has expanded the Internet Crimes against Children's Task Force.
We've doubled down, We've quadrupled the size of it. We're
going after predators to protect children and families. And you know,
(26:42):
when she when she sits there and she attacks the
sentences that these judges get, she's omitting the fact that
the person who was in court in front of a
judge was caught by the task force that we lead,
was charged by my office, was indicted by my office,
and was prosecuted by my office. And the judge gave
a sentence that you know, she didn't like. And as
she's now saying, is my sentence? Well, we don't give sentences.
(27:03):
We just catch the bad guys and haul them in.
The sentences are given by the judges, which coincidentally, the
one judge she voted on was Bentley Price, who was
such a bad judge and gave such lenient sentences. This
is her judge that he was not even re elected
to be a judge by the General Assembly. So that's
the quality of judges she has put on the bench.
You know, we have been advocating for judicial reform, Gary,
(27:23):
so that we can have pro law enforcement, pro victim
judges representing the state.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Let's switch topics here for a second, if we can,
because this is a campaign platform that seems to be
consistent across all the Republican contenders, and that is the
income tax issue. Yeah, we know the legislature kind of
teased us this past session with this this this flat tax,
and then when they finally started crunching the numbers, thought, well,
(27:49):
that's not a good idea for most taxpayers, at least
middle class taxpayers in our state. And then you know,
the talk reignites about the no income tax at all.
If I'm not mistaken when you rolled out to your
bid back about what a month month and a half ago,
now I guess it was you. Also, you're calling for
no income tax in the state. Is that is that right?
(28:10):
Do I recall that correct yet?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yes, sir, we are, and Gary when you look at
the southeast three states, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida have already
gone to zero percent income tax. Five other states in
this area of the country have passed laws to take
their states to zero percent income tax. Georgia and North
Carolina are almost half of what South Carolina we will
be in two years with South Coline's income taxes, and
(28:33):
we can do the same thing. We have to send
a signal to be competitive and the fastest growing region
of the country, South Carolina has to step up. Now
question you're asking, and everyone's asking who's listening, how do
you pay for it when you cut tax before you
get revenue. Well, look, I've studied this issue. South Carolina.
Over the last ten years, the state government spending and
(28:54):
appropriated by the General Assembly has grown at six and
a half percent. Our population plus inflation is we're only
get three point four percent, which means we are spending
three point one percent faster than we are growing. To
everyone driving to work right now, who runs a business,
You try spending money in your business three point one
percent faster than your business is growing and see how
(29:14):
that works. If we were to cap spending government spending
to the rate of population growth over that same ten
year period, we would have been able to return to
the taxpayers nineteen point seven billion dollars. Nearly two billion
dollars over a ten year period could have been given
back in revenue triggers. It doesn't happen immediately, it won't
(29:34):
happen overnight, but you can return that money in those
savings to the taxpayers so that they can invest in
their families and their businesses.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Does that make up? I think what's forty five percent
of the state revenues comes from state income taxes? That
figures out about right.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It is a significant, significant component of that forty five
percent of where the state revenues come from. But here's
another thing, Gary, South Carolina is antiquated and outmoded and
now data and a lot of its systems. For instance,
we just recovered twenty one million dollars of fraud from
the Medicaid program here in South Carolina, and what we
found was that the systems in place to prevent people
(30:10):
from defrauding medicaid are outdated. We're not using AI, we're
not using advanced systems to administer education dollars, prison dollars,
Medicaid dollars, dollars going to local governments. I mean, we
just have so much fraud, waste and abuse, and we
really need to doze the state and get this money
going where it is. If we were to plug the
(30:30):
wholes of the boat and prevent money from being wasted,
we could return it to education, infrastructure, into things that
people really care about.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So you can say right now that if you're a governor,
your pledge would be to at some point eliminate the
state income tax. That would be my goal, yek, And
that we could accomplish this without doing something else like
raising property tax or sales tax.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Absolutely, I think we can do it, and I will
never before raising taxes. But Gary, other states are doing
it in South Carolina can do it too.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Oh, we're all about that, all about that. Okay, well
we want to give a chance to respond there. We
appreciate it, sir, and uh well, we'll talk again sometime soon.
Thank you so much. And by the way, as as
I mentioned, we have not heard from the Maze campaign.
They've not requested to come on and talk to us,
but more than happy to any of the gooblatorial candidate's
although again we're early on. We're not going to get
(31:27):
into you know this every every week between now and
next June. But when things like this warrant, we'll certainly
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
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 tom Sat.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Fifteen minutes minutes that is after eight o'clock morning. Tell
you for the Thursday, August the seventh. I had to
take a gander over here, see what the markets are
doing this morning, because you know, the the new Trump tariff's,
the higher tariffs going to effect today for dozens of countries.
Has the sky fallen yet?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And it's still blue. We just can't see with all
these clouds, but it's up there. Uh yeah. Now futures
are ahead about one hundred ninety points right now. All
the markets are up in pre market trading this morning.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They usually get all roiled up because of uncertainty. And
we've known this was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, and we also have now know that you know,
after well, you go go back to April the second,
when the reciprocal tariffs were first supposed to go into effect.
I mean that was you know, four months ago, and
the sky didn't fall. Matter of fact, even the New
York Times the other day had to admit that, yeah,
this has been a real uh, this has really a
(32:46):
real boon here. We're bringing a bunch of money here
in this country with these tariffs, and I haven't seen
the food lines develop yet, right, so, you know, the
sky has not fallen the meeting, the Dems would like
you to believe that it will. But let's see what
happens here. So higher imports, import taxes it is on
(33:10):
dozens of countries and effect today as high as fifty
percent in some cases. Now lower tariffs on well more
than sixty countries than the EU ten percent maybe higher
and depending. And then you had the the plans announced
(33:35):
yesterday that the President will put a one hundred percent
tariff on computer chips. Now, if you want to build
those here in the US, there'll be no charge at all.
And we have seen this, We have seen companies say, yes,
we're going to start US production of these things. This one,
this one here on computer chips is more again than
just charging a tariff. This is this is crucial here.
(34:00):
Are you talking about national security? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that
makes sense. The world runs on these ships. And how
many times we had to say, you know, with the
vast majority of chips and how this ever happened to
begin with who knows being produced in Taiwan, and with
the Chikoms and their aims on Taiwan, you can see
(34:23):
that would be a disaster on multiple fronts, including taking
over basically almost all the world's chip production. So yeah,
this one is twofold, if not threefold here. So is
that why he's hammering until this morning? Gotta be? Okay,
gotta be. You had Tim Cook in the Oval office yesterday,
(34:46):
the CEO of Apple announcing a six hundred billion dollar
investment US operations. Again, this is the other side of
the coin here with these with these tariffs. That doesn't
get mentioned enough by the media. It's not just about
leveling tariffs, making it you know, a fair playing field
with these other countries. I mean, come on, who we
(35:07):
have been paying out the nos to some of these
countries and getting nothing back. It's not fair. But it's
also about driving more investment, you know, onto our shores
here and that has been happening there you go, six
hundred billion dollar investment by Apple and US operations, and
(35:31):
needless to say, demand for computer chips continues to increase worldwide.
So this one is important on a number of fronts. Well.
By the way, with this Apple announcement, the word is
is that this will this investment will create close to
(35:53):
half a million jobs across the country. That figure seems
kind of high to me. But even if you get
a half of that or a quarter of that, I mean,
it's it's a big win. It's a big investment. Yeah,
So the next round of tarifs skating ready to go
to effect here and that by that, that Apple, that's
(36:13):
a game changing investment right there. And yeah, Trump hammering
Intel this morning, He's going to continue to hammer these
tech companies, you know, bring you a production here these chips,
you know, and Nvidia is making big investment investments in
this country. We got a number of places where this
is happening. And this is again not just leveling the
(36:38):
playing field on tariffs, but it is in the interest
of national security. I was reading an article this morning,
I don't even punt it out or whatever, but talking
about how the Chinese hackers and how many Chinese products
we have in this country that are a tech sore
of products, and how it's opening doors for all sorts
(36:59):
of nefarious things to happen. And you know, a kind
of theme we hit on every now and then have
for years that yeah, you don't need you don't need
nuclear weapons anymore. You just need a hacker flipping a switch,
shutting down a grid. It's all it takes. Now. I
would like to think, I have no idea if this
(37:21):
is the case or not. You'd like to think it
goes back to the old mad the mutually assured destruction
thing from back in the Cold War, that we also
have the ability to shut down a grid anywhere we
want to, and that's the only thing keeping somebody like
the communist Chinese from doing it to us. We could Yeah, yeah,
(37:42):
I gotta hope we could do it too, right, You
would hope we've employed enough seventeen year olds in the
government who can make that happen if we needed to happen, right,
pull the plug on some country. Goodness six What was
that book? Years came? I years ago? I remember somebody talking.
I've read portions of it online. This was written probably
(38:03):
fifteen years ago at least, about how that would what
that would look like if the grid just went down,
and it wouldn't take long before we just self destruct.
We can't even take a couple hours out age in
a storm. That's scarce. The scary proposition right there. Okay,
(38:27):
so tariff's more leveled coming into play today. Dozens of
countries affected, and yeah, you better, hey, chip makers come here,
or the tariffs are going to be one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Listen anytime when I'm going to work with the iHeart.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Radio line, I downloaded the app on my phone.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I can listen whenever I want one on three point
five MM 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 WVOC.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
And now our final thoughts for Thursday, August the seventh,
that is eight forty in the morning. A news today,
a federal grand jury has found a woman guilty of
fraudulently obtaining Social Security benefits. This is a Cynthia Dolores
Holland guilty. Apparently, her mother passed back in twenty thirteen.
(39:26):
She had a joint account with mom, kept collecting benefits
and cashing the checks and spending that dough over a
course of nine years more than one hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars according to the federal prosecutors. Cynthia Dolores Holland,
by the way, a former elections official in Aacon County.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
And then her defense was, after all this money came
in after I mean, that's a lot of money for
Social Security. I mean we're talking about a lot of
checks to wind up nine years worth six yeah, six figures.
And then she decided to pay it all back.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah. I guess she'd been putting it under the mattress
or something. I don't know. Yeah, former election official. That's
the kicker for that one, right there.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I think the kicker is she decided to pay it
all back after she found out she was under investigation, right, yeah,
then she was sorry that the timing was a little off,
just a bit.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
The standoff in Texas continues. I think today's the deadline,
right that the governor says he'll be uh issuing arrest
warrants for these a wall Texas Democrats. I mean, at
some point time they got to come back home, right,
at some point they got to come back, you would think. So, yeah, uh, okay, Well,
(40:56):
news that groups tied to George Sorows imagine that and
to failed multiple failure candidate Beto O'Rourke or picking up
a tab for these Texas Democrats. Yeah, Powered by People
(41:17):
has directed all donations towards supporting the effort. Scored to
the Texas Tribune. This is Beto's political action committee that
along with the Soros backed Texas Majority Pack. Wait a minute,
a Democrat pack in Texas is named the Texas Majority Pack. Really,
(41:39):
if you had the majority, you'd be redrawn for your
own purposes. Come on, okay, that should come as no
great surprise to anybody. Will the FEDS get involved? Uh?
I hope so can pack in the age announcing an
(42:01):
investigation into those groups. Yeah, the the hypocrisy and all
of this is again you had you had so many
of these democrats go to a state in Illinois where
they've been Jerry mannering for forever in favor of democrats. Yeah, okay, good.
(42:22):
Then you had one, uh, Yolanda Jones, Texas Democrat in
the state House making comments in an interview with Don
Lemon where where she likened redistricting in the Lone Star
state to the Holocaust. Uh. People were like, she says,
(42:48):
how did the Holocaust happen? How is somebody in the
position to kill all them people? Well? Good people remain silent?
What why? Why? Why did people continue to want to
go down that road? I don't know. Unbelievable. So word
that the Department of Justice is reportedly deliberating whether or
(43:11):
not to release the transcript of that interview with the
Gallaid Maxwell. Apparently she doesn't want her grand jury testimony unsealed.
But this is the Uh, this is the transcript of
the interview. They're considering it. When the time is right,
I think was said, I think the time is right now.
(43:37):
This story has lost a little bit of its traction.
It has and again that's the that's the long play.
The administration is hoping over time. Well, yeah, it'll slip
from consciousness once again. Trump got asked about it in
the Oval office yesterday. I was totally out of it yesterday.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
Well, I mean he jd Vance was in the room too,
and he got asked if jd Vance had held some
behind the scenes to discuss Epstein's strategy, and Van stepped
up and said, that's fake news, and then Trump added, bs.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, the whole word. Well, Maxwell, for her efforts gets
down to a to a cushy federal lock up.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, which you know a lot of people are upset
about that. Yeah, whether she's cooperating or not.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I mean she including some of the for her fellow inmates.
Now we're happy that she's there, right, Okay, Well this
is what she got for for for that. We'll see
how it goes. Florida Republican Corey Mills, who seems to
be on the wrong side of the news a lot
these days. Latest on Mills is that Lindsey Langston, the
(44:51):
twenty four winner of the Miss United States beauty pageant,
this is not Miss USA. Okay, this is Miss United States.
I don't know. I don't even heard to know the
difference Okay, yeah, it's different. But which is different from
Miss America exactly? Yeah, which is different from Miss South Carolina.
We've got a lot of these. She's followed restraining order
against the congressman, accusing him of threatening to release nude
(45:14):
videos of her. They apparently had a thing at one time. Uh,
and she's now in a new relationship. She is too. Yeah. Boy,
it's quietly some Republicans are starting to have qualms about Mills.
His name is pumped up again in a negative connotation
(45:36):
quite a bit as of late Trump's saying he might
send the National Guard to DC, the police the streets
to fight crime. This after a staffer, are we don't
even allowed to say this name on the air? The
nickname of this kid, I mean it's ball with the
news I think so, you know this is the guy.
This is one of Elon Musk's proteges, the Dozer. The dozer, Yeah,
(45:57):
twenty three year old. I think he is a big ball.
This is what they referred to him as so as
the story goes, he tried to intervene when a bunch
of bunch of thugs tried to carjack a woman and
he got in the middle of it. And got a
pretty good beating for his efforts. Trump says this is
a this has got to stop. Although apparently crime in
(46:21):
the in the district is at a thirty year low.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
Trump's got an on again, off again with the mayor
of DC. So, yeah, I don't know how this is
going to go or you know, she may welcome it,
and she may say, I, you don't know what you're
talking about here. Yeah, I mean they're sometimes lovey dew
and they're sometimes not right.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
And uh, why she went here? Who knows. I don't
think it was a distraction of any sort, but maybe
it's just what she thinks. Tulca Gabbard, the Director of
National Intelligence, in the New York Post podcast pod Force one,
for some reason, was asked about aliens and is there
any you know, kind of classified material out there, and
(47:00):
she says, I have my own views and opinions in
this role, I have to be careful with what I share.
But when asked about the possibility of extra extraal life,
is that she said, yes, oh jeez. But she says
she wasn't prepared to talk about the details, that her
(47:23):
office would be transparent with the public when the time comes.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Okay, here we go again. See that captivates you, it does?
That would be way down. If I was allowed to
ask things to a government official that most people don't,
that'd be way down on the list.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Oh I would, I would even think to ask that.
But you know, out of everything, out of anything and everything,
you know, if if we were given proof one of
these days that the ETS really existed, well, that upsets
the entire Apple card. I mean, boom, it's it's, it's,
it's yeah. For at least a little while, nothing else
(47:58):
would matter, right, true thing spell
Jesus Hell, yeah, same America and Jerry Hollen for re formation.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
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 and.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We wish you a very good Thursday morning for the
seventh day of the month of August. Welcome to it.
Sixteen minutes after six o'clock. I am Gary back, and
I'm not expecting to be off anytime soon.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I was gonna say, why don't you settle in and
stay a while last time, take.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Your shoes off, stay a wile. Yeah, I guess I'll
have to do that now. Good to be back with
you today. I'd rather been here yesterday than well.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Anyway, we'll just tell us everything's okay, Everything is good. Okay,
we got to clear clean bill of health, so that's
all we need.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Good. And I'm one even hungry. You go a day
without eating and then suddenly you lose your appetite. I
thought it would be ravenous yesterday, but no, maybe I
need a cool and oscopy. Your coldon clearly cleans. All
I do is eat. So that's Christopher Thompson right over
there and We welcome you in and thank you for
joining us this morning. Uh, let's jump right into it, friends,
(01:22):
making up for lost time here and we've got stuff
to do. The rundout, the big stories, the hot topics
for Thursday, August seventh, and well you heard it here
yesterday on the rash thought on w VOC uh and
across the state where the uh that that feature airs
Alan Wilson's father, technically step father, but still Joe Wilson,
(01:43):
the congressman weighing in on this gubernatorial race, okay, ratcheting
things up a little bit, then releasing a statement afterwards
going after Nancy Mace and how she's just not a
team player in DC, that it's just all about her, and.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That's about it. That's about the message I guess from
the congressman. Well, and he praised Ralph Norman. Ye, thinking
that Ralph Norman was a great addition to Washington when
he was there, and Mace not so much. Yeah, and
Mace's campaign responded.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yes, yes they did. So we'll get into all of
that this morning. Well, we told you it was going
to be like that. It was going to be a
lot said and written about this race, and we're just
getting started here. Meantime, the Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evatt talking
yesterday about the the Palvetto pen, the idea for one
(02:36):
of these alligator Alcatraz like ice attention facilities here in
the state of South Carolina. Well, that's a popular topic
right now, boy, isn't it. Though. Indiana's in a new
partnership with a DHS. This is this is gan steam.
More and more states are looking to increase ice detention space. Wow,
(03:00):
by the way, making her first stop as you just
heard mention of the update at what she's calling the
Mother of Old Town Hall's tour. This was in Myrtle
Beach yesterday. All of the competitors on the Republican side
to a person man and or a woman are talking
(03:22):
about this and that is getting rid of income tax,
state income tax in South Carolina. Well, how would that work?
How do you make up for what accouncilor about forty
five percent of the state's revenue. How are other states
doing it? We'll have to delve into that today as well. Meantime,
on the ag front, David Pascoe, the former Democrat now
(03:42):
Republican who has not yet officially announced right he had
announced he's running for ag unless I just missed it
while I was out, But he's apparently raised a good
bit of cash here, quite impressive according to resort reports.
Well again, we're talking about different levels of state office
(04:03):
and how much money it takes to run. We're talking
about just under one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars,
which for that race, not a bad haul right there. Meantime,
r J May suspended behind bars. New news breaking yesterday
that May shared videos. According to reports, this as allegedly
(04:23):
shared videos of child sex abuse materials with a nurse
in Oklahoma, a male nurse who's now facing his own
federal charges is according to court documents.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, we tiptoed around that story a bit yesterday, but
I mean some of the details are just lurid.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, there's no point getting into all that. But and
to think, I mean this unfortunately probably happens more often
than you think. Our National Guarden here in our states
now available to join ice efforts, not just on the
border where we have had troops into but in other
states as well. A new agreement being in it into
(05:06):
to assist ice inside states, not just at the border.
This little naval South Carolina National Guard troops to show
up to places like them California or wherever they are
are called. A federal jury finding Cynthia Dolores Holland guilty
this week of fraudulently tabtaining still security benefits. This is
from her dead mother. Holland is a former elections official
(05:33):
in Aiken County. It doesn't make you feel good at all,
that does it. It looks like everything they've got scheduled
for Columbia Metro today is still scheduled, but United with
the ground stop yesterday they had some technical issues and
determining weight and balance on their planes, which is crucial
otherwise you know, not go well. So they had to
stop everything yesterday. They've got it back up and running again,
(05:54):
but delays and cancelations pushing things back. A lot of
flights were affected by that. But again, as far as
what's scheduled at least today out of a Columbia Metro,
no delays being reported. All United flights out of c
AE are scheduled to leave at their intended times at
this point in time, but you might want to check
ahead anyway, all right, to hire tariffs going into effect
(06:16):
on dozens of countries today, Here we go again with
more tariffs than the President, saying he plans to impose
a one hundred percent tariff on computer chips that prompting
a game changing investment from Apple. Is the Apple CEO
Jim Cook not his name Jim Cook, Tim Tim Okay,
Tim Jim whichever, somebody with it, Jim Cook announcing a
(06:41):
big investment in the Oval, in the Oval, in the Oval. Yes.
In fact, the Texas standoff continues. The Democrats continue to
be outside of the state, a lot of threats continue
to be made, and now news that Beto O'Rourke's political
action committee George Soros bat Group is picking up a
(07:05):
tab for this stunt, the Beato bribe. The Attorney General
there Ken Paxton announcing an investigation into a group organized
by Bathole for providing those funding fundings for these trips. Fortunately,
no one dying, but five injured. Again. Breaking news yesterday
(07:25):
as a twenty eight year old Army sergeant opens fire
on fellow troops at Fort Stewart, Georgia. I understood I
didn't see this, but I was told that a local
TV station actually initially reported that this was Fort Jackson.
Oh God, well, no, it was Fort Georgia. And Stuart.
This guy apparently just recently had been arrested for DUI
(07:46):
did not use an army issued weapon his own personal weapon.
News coming out the last day or two, the DJ
is considering releasing the Gallain Maxwell interview in the Epstein case.
She though opposes unsealing of great injury testimony is requested
by the USA. G Pam Bondi and Lindsey Langston twenty
(08:08):
twenty four winner the Miss United States Beauty pageant, filing
a restraining order against Corey Mills, the congressman from Florida,
the Republican, after she says he she accused him of
threatening to release nude videos of her. Nowt court, You've
been keeping up with Corey Mills. It seems like it's
something new every day with this guy. All sorts of
(08:29):
controversy surrounding Mills, and this is just the latest together.
These two had a thing at one at one time,
and well that's the only thing that seems to have
gone sour with Mills. Okay, we'll get to that. We'll
get tomorrow coming up on this the Thursday morning edition
of Columbia's Morning News. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Lexington Orthopedix and Sports Medicine brings you up best game
coverage this fall on one O three point five FM
and five sixty am doubled UVOC. 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 (09:11):
It is seven twice I've done that this morning, Doc. God,
they gave you too many drugs yesterday from that procedure.
I'm telling you six forty one this Thursday. At least
I got the day right. August seventh. How many days
of football? So the game Cocks twenty.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Four the game Cocks. I think it's sixteen until the
start of the season. Week zero for the game Cocks.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
The thirty first for the game Cocks, right, correct, So
twenty four days away. Yeah, if I can even do
math this morning, something like that. Week zero has win
in sixteen days, I think so. Yeah. Wow, you mentioned
lunch of NFL preseason games tonight, right? Do they stagger
those so you can watch like the first series of
each one of them and then be done all forth
to watch it? Yeah? Probably, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I mean there are people around here who like the
NFL preseason just because that's the time you get to see,
you know, players you might have watched at the college.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Level last year and may never see again for some
of them. Yes, yeah, I didn't realize that you mentioned
the J. C. Horn injury. I don't remember. He is
the top paid cornerback in the NFL. Now, yeah, he's
he's a big time one hundred million dollar man. Yeah
wow wow, Okay, And how old? Twenty five to forty six?
That's how do you deal with that at that age? Right?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
How do you deal with it being even younger? Being
in college now?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right? These kids are making that kind of money. Yeah,
so yeah, you got you got a lot of guys
around here, college kids and others who would you know,
be really happy if the state would do away state
income taxes? Right? Sure? How cool would that be for them?
Probably so and for the rest. And this is this
is the populist theme, and it's one that's again every
Republican candidate for the governor is talking about it. Uh,
(10:55):
you kind of have to, right, But how does how
does this work? And it will even be a campaign
issue because I don't know, you know, the State House
when they get back session in January, there will least
be some that will get calling again for just a
total elimination of income tax in our state. You kind
of get the feeling now right that the ball is
started to roll downhill on this subject and the ain'
(11:18):
nothing gonna stop it. Just to question how long it
takes to get there. Now, Technically the state House they'll
be looking again at UH tax reduction when they reconvene
in January. But there's gonna be a lot of calls
from outside, I think, an inside the legislature to just
(11:39):
do it totally. It will certainly be talked about on
the campaign trail for the gubernatorial candidates for the Republican
primary if we ever get one for the Democrats, don't
expect them to bring that up. But again, how do
how does how? How would this work? LTx TV did
an interview with tax law professor over in Carolina who
(12:02):
pointed out that, yeah, the state's like Texas and Florida
and Tennessee who don't have any state income tax. You know,
they're getting their money. Making the note that Texas has
a property tax it's three times as high as out
here in South Carolina. Florida's property tax about twice hours
on average. Tennessee their sales taxes is nearly ten percent,
(12:27):
So it's got to shift somewhere, right, I mean, you
don't give up about what forty five percent of the
state's revenue, although I know I've I've heard from a
lot of you. No wait a minute, Gary, we get
these huge surpluses at the end of every year. Yeah,
we do. But those surpluses aren't big enough. I don't
believe near big enough to make up for a forty
(12:49):
five percent loss in revenue for the state. It has
to come from somewhere else. Now, from a Democrat standpoint,
they're going to take this argument, which is some A
professor pointed out that if if if the idea is okay,
ditch the state income tax, but you know, raise sales
(13:10):
tax for example, that has a disproportionate uh you know
uh effect on lower income individuals because now they're going
to be paying a higher se We would all be
able to have a more of an impact on them,
especially considering that in many cases they're not paying state
state income tax at all. So that would be the
(13:31):
argument for the Democrats over the state House, and any
Democrat that might one of these days decide to run
for governor. If that ever happens, you know, just for show,
of course they're not going to win. Well it'll be well, well, well,
well we'll figure out all this eventually. I suppose Virginia
(13:56):
the uh much of the news. Fairfax County Public Schools
System has a launched an investigation, and the accusations that
staff they're at the school. Okay, that school staff arranged
abortions for students without notifying their parents.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
That's a step farther than any talk of gender change.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
This is Centerville High School in Union Hill, Virginia, where
the allegations are that school staff arranged and bankrolled abortions
for girls back in twenty twenty one, including a seventeen
year old. The district says they're not aware of any
(14:49):
instances like that. I bet they're not. Okay, you're taking
upon yourself, yeah, I suppose. Yeah, if you're if you're
a staffer at a school and you decide that it's
uh in this student's best interest number one, a student
(15:10):
you have no relationship with to have an abortion, and
you arranged to have set abortion and maybe even bankrolls
set abortion. Yeah, I guess you're not notifying the parents.
That's kind of an afterthought, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And where do you where do you find money in
the budget for that? I mean, schools these days are
so tight with the money, and you're suggesting there's some
kind of slush fund that they were able to use.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
No news on where the money might have come from.
You know, there are plenty of you know, bleeding heart
liberal organizations out there that I'm sure it had been
happy to bankroll this. Well, how do you keep it quiet? That? Well,
that's true, but then again, they are liberal, bleeding heart
organizations and they're probably more than happy to keep it quiet. Now,
no no idea if this has actually happened or not.
These are the allegations, but there is an investigation going on.
(15:57):
And you're right, this is more than just you know,
transgender bathrooms here. Wow, it's pretty heavy stuff right there.
Get us from twenty twenty one. They say there is
an investigation going on to try to get to the
bottom of this. I was almost abused by the by
(16:20):
the press report that so they had arranged for these
without notifying their prayers, as if you know, hey, let
mom and dad know we're arranging for an abortion for
you know, little Susie, and we'll pay for it and
everything'll be okay. Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen. But remember
(16:41):
mom and dad never know best anymore. According to these
school officials, they know best. It is six forty nine.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
We use morning news on one oh three point five
FM on five sixty am WVOC. Once again, here's Gary
David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It is fifteen minutes after seven o'clock. It's good to
have you with us. Send it this Thursday, August the seventh.
Good morning to you. I'm Gary David. That is Christopher Thompson.
And this is this is August seventh, Wins primary day
June ninth or June something like that. It's ten months away.
(17:18):
How long can this go on? Huh? We have a
crowded field on the Republican side. And well the DNC
called it a full uh, a full clown car the
other day in their statement after Nancy masoner the race, well,
the Democrats side, the clown car is empty at this point.
There are no clowns there in the cloud class send
(17:42):
in the clouds. There are clowns, are just not in
the in the car. Yet it may never be.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
So.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All the focus on the Republican the gubernatorial primary in
ten months, and it is ratcheted up early, as we
knew it would with this many well known names in
the race, and yesterday it ratcheted up a bit more.
Jonathan Kelly were talking to the Congressman Joe Wilson, the
(18:09):
father of Alan Wilson, the AG and Republican Republican gubernatorial
nominee hopeful, and then Wilson's office releasing a statement ripping
Nancy Mace, accusing her of show voting in DC. The Congressman,
in his statement accused Mace of selfishness, inconsistency, and disloyalty
(18:34):
to the Republican Party and as opposed to Courier put
it in his statement saying that she often skips the
hard work of governing. The quote from the moment she
entered Congress, she made it clear she had no interest
in being a team player. The Congressman saying that Mace
declined his personal invitation to join the Republican Study Committee
(18:58):
because she wanted to be, he says, as a party
of one, rather than to join the oldest and largest
conservative caucus in the US House. Not a team player,
no team works, self promotion over service which is the
viewpoint a lot of people have in Nancy Mace. I mean,
let's face it. The Mace campaign countering with their own statement, quoting,
(19:22):
no one is surprised career politician Joe Wilson is attacking
Nancy Mays to protect his son's failing campaign. The Mace
campaign went on to further accused Congressman Wilson focusing on
symbolic gestures like honoring Ukine's president Ukraine's president rather instead
of holding his own set accountable. Again, the Mace campaign
(19:47):
continues to claim the AG's office has been turning a
blind diet of prosecuting criminals, including pedophiles. Well, this goes
back and forth, back and forth, back and forth between
these two camps, and don't expect that to end until
next June. This is this is the way it's going
(20:08):
to be. There's been bad blood between the Joe Wilson
and the Nancy Mace for for for quite a while now.
The Congressman endorsed Mace's rival like Katie Errington back in
twenty twenty two in a very hotly contested primary, and
(20:31):
again two years later the Congressman Wilson back to Catherine Templeton.
So this is not new. This is this goes far
beyond the governor's race here in South Carolina. Those two
have have but not gotten along from the get go. Meanwhile,
(20:51):
a little bit of news made from the Lieutenant Governor
Pamela Evitt, who addressed her calls for an immigration detention
facility here in South Carolina, you know, kind of like
Florida's Alligator Alcatraz. She was asked yesterday about her proposal
(21:12):
for the Palmetto pin pe n okay pen, Palmeto pen.
Everybody's got a unique name for their version of this
ice facility. Yeah, but let's face it, nobody's gonna top
Alligator Alcatraz. It's gonna be hard to top that one
takes the cake. So yeah, Evetts has been calling for
(21:34):
a and more and more states are hopping on board this. Well,
Republican states that is of expanding ice detention facilities here.
She saying she thinks facility in South Carolina would be
part of giving law enforcement every tool of a toolbox. Now,
(21:54):
the other contenders in this race of well, Nancy Mace
is made of a call for the detention facility here
in our state. She did that last month, Alan Wilson
and Senator Josh Kimberl have been encouraging sheriffs to work
directly with Ice and no specific comment on the potential facility.
(22:16):
Every tool in the toolbox now, the other contenders in
this race have well. Nancy Mays has made a call
for the detention facility here in our state. She did
that last month. Alan Wilson and Senator Josh Kimberl have
(22:37):
been encouraging sheriffs to work directly with Ice and no
specific comment on the potential facility. The a c l U,
in opposition to this idea, launched an online petitions that
they call petition that claims to have had over twelve
thousand signatures as of just just Yesterdaday.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Okay, exciting times on the Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
It's so rare for me to be excited.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
It's going to be very exciting.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
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 (23:25):
It's seven forty Good morning, Thursday morning, August the seventh.
We appreciate you joining us this morning. My name is
Gary David, along with Christopher Thompson and the rest of
the team. This is Columbia's Morning News. All right. So
we were discussing in the last segment, and you heard
yesterday on the rash thought Congressman Joe Wilson blasting Nancy Mace,
the latest and probably probably last entrance into this gubernatorial
(23:49):
primary race on the Republican side, as being selfish, not
lord of the party, a one man you know band
so space the Maze campaign responding, I'm saying, among other things,
if the Wilson family thinks political favors and last names
(24:11):
will stop her, they're in for a rude awakening that
the state deserves a fight or not a dynasty. Well,
Alan Wilson now joining us to respond to all that
this morning on the Columbia's Morning News. Good morning, sir, Hey,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
It's great to be with you. Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Gary, Yes, sir, we got a long way to go
before we get to that primary and this thing is
ramping up early. Your response to your father's statement into
the Maze campaign.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Statement, Well, first off, you know, Dad is probably one
of the most genteel, nicest easiest to get along with
people you'll ever meet in Congress or anywhere on planet Earth.
And the one thing that he has consistently told me
is that the person that you're talking about is someone
who is unreliable, that people in Congress find unreliable, and
someone who is really just a self promoter. You know,
(25:00):
everyone keeps talking back to the bad blood, going back
to his endorsement of her opponents and two previous primaries.
But the reality is is it goes back further because
of how she's treated him and other members of the delegation.
You know, I also thought that their response, the Mace
campaign's response that this is him stepping in to save
me from my flailing and failing campaign is interesting because
(25:21):
she was on Fox News last week telling everyone that
I was the one to beat, that this was a
race between me and her. The reality is Nancy Mace
has really trying to cover up for her own failures
as a member of Congress, and she's just attacking.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
You know, we welcome to the Mace campaign. They haven't
reached out to us yet at this point, but if
they do, we're happy to have her on to talk
about all this. But that is that's a cinement that
seems to be shared by a lot of people that
she's kind of in it for herself. And it's kind
of just NonStop chaos when it comes to Nancy Mace.
And yeah, you know, is that the sort of thing
(25:56):
we want here in South Carolina in an executive position
like governor. I hear that a lot, But I'm just
I'm curious at this point. We have so far to
go here. I mean, how how how high could this
thing ratchet up here between now and June? My goodness?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Well, the reality is is that you know, I'm being
attacked for you know, my offices roles in various cases
around South Carolina. And the reason I think I'm being
attacked there, First, I think she sees me as a threat.
And secondly, I think this is my strongest point. You know,
our office has expanded the Internet Crimes against Children's Task Force.
We've doubled down, We've quadrupled the size of it. We're
going after predators to protect children and families. And you know,
(26:42):
when she when she sits there and she attacks the
sentences that these judges get, she's omitting the fact that
the person who was in court in front of a
judge was caught by the task force that we lead,
was charged by my office, was indicted by my office,
and was prosecuted by my office. And the judge gave
a sentence that you know, she didn't like. And as
she's now saying, is my sentence? Well, we don't give sentences.
(27:03):
We just catch the bad guys and haul them in.
The sentences are given by the judges, which coincidentally, the
one judge she voted on was Bentley Price, who was
such a bad judge and gave such lenient sentences. This
is her judge that he was not even re elected
to be a judge by the General Assembly. So that's
the quality of judges she has put on the bench.
You know, we have been advocating for judicial reform, Gary,
(27:23):
so that we can have pro law enforcement, pro victim
judges representing the state.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Let's switch topics here for a second, if we can,
because this is a campaign platform that seems to be
consistent across all the Republican contenders, and that is the
income tax issue. Yeah, we know the legislature kind of
teased us this past session with this this this flat tax,
and then when they finally started crunching the numbers, thought, well,
(27:49):
that's not a good idea for most taxpayers, at least
middle class taxpayers in our state. And then you know,
the talk reignites about the no income tax at all.
If I'm not mistaken when you rolled out to your
bid back about what a month month and a half ago,
now I guess it was you. Also, you're calling for
no income tax in the state. Is that is that right?
(28:10):
Do I recall that correct yet?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yes, sir, we are, and Gary when you look at
the southeast three states, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida have already
gone to zero percent income tax. Five other states in
this area of the country have passed laws to take
their states to zero percent income tax. Georgia and North
Carolina are almost half of what South Carolina we will
be in two years with South Coline's income taxes, and
(28:33):
we can do the same thing. We have to send
a signal to be competitive and the fastest growing region
of the country, South Carolina has to step up. Now
question you're asking, and everyone's asking who's listening, how do
you pay for it when you cut tax before you
get revenue. Well, look, I've studied this issue. South Carolina.
Over the last ten years, the state government spending and
(28:54):
appropriated by the General Assembly has grown at six and
a half percent. Our population plus inflation is we're only
get three point four percent, which means we are spending
three point one percent faster than we are growing. To
everyone driving to work right now, who runs a business,
You try spending money in your business three point one
percent faster than your business is growing and see how
(29:14):
that works. If we were to cap spending government spending
to the rate of population growth over that same ten
year period, we would have been able to return to
the taxpayers nineteen point seven billion dollars. Nearly two billion
dollars over a ten year period could have been given
back in revenue triggers. It doesn't happen immediately, it won't
(29:34):
happen overnight, but you can return that money in those
savings to the taxpayers so that they can invest in
their families and their businesses.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Does that make up? I think what's forty five percent
of the state revenues comes from state income taxes? That
figures out about right.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It is a significant, significant component of that forty five
percent of where the state revenues come from. But here's
another thing, Gary, South Carolina is antiquated and outmoded and
now data and a lot of its systems. For instance,
we just recovered twenty one million dollars of fraud from
the Medicaid program here in South Carolina, and what we
found was that the systems in place to prevent people
(30:10):
from defrauding medicaid are outdated. We're not using AI, we're
not using advanced systems to administer education dollars, prison dollars,
Medicaid dollars, dollars going to local governments. I mean, we
just have so much fraud, waste and abuse, and we
really need to doze the state and get this money
going where it is. If we were to plug the
(30:30):
wholes of the boat and prevent money from being wasted,
we could return it to education, infrastructure, into things that
people really care about.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So you can say right now that if you're a governor,
your pledge would be to at some point eliminate the
state income tax. That would be my goal, yek, And
that we could accomplish this without doing something else like
raising property tax or sales tax.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Absolutely, I think we can do it, and I will
never before raising taxes. But Gary, other states are doing
it in South Carolina can do it too.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Oh, we're all about that, all about that. Okay, well
we want to give a chance to respond there. We
appreciate it, sir, and uh well, we'll talk again sometime soon.
Thank you so much. And by the way, as as
I mentioned, we have not heard from the Maze campaign.
They've not requested to come on and talk to us,
but more than happy to any of the gooblatorial candidate's
although again we're early on. We're not going to get
(31:27):
into you know this every every week between now and
next June. But when things like this warrant, we'll certainly
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
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 tom Sat.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Fifteen minutes minutes that is after eight o'clock morning. Tell
you for the Thursday, August the seventh. I had to
take a gander over here, see what the markets are
doing this morning, because you know, the the new Trump tariff's,
the higher tariffs going to effect today for dozens of countries.
Has the sky fallen yet?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And it's still blue. We just can't see with all
these clouds, but it's up there. Uh yeah. Now futures
are ahead about one hundred ninety points right now. All
the markets are up in pre market trading this morning.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
They usually get all roiled up because of uncertainty. And
we've known this was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, and we also have now know that you know,
after well, you go go back to April the second,
when the reciprocal tariffs were first supposed to go into effect.
I mean that was you know, four months ago, and
the sky didn't fall. Matter of fact, even the New
York Times the other day had to admit that, yeah,
this has been a real uh, this has really a
(32:46):
real boon here. We're bringing a bunch of money here
in this country with these tariffs, and I haven't seen
the food lines develop yet, right, so, you know, the
sky has not fallen the meeting, the Dems would like
you to believe that it will. But let's see what
happens here. So higher imports, import taxes it is on
(33:10):
dozens of countries and effect today as high as fifty
percent in some cases. Now lower tariffs on well more
than sixty countries than the EU ten percent maybe higher
and depending. And then you had the the plans announced
(33:35):
yesterday that the President will put a one hundred percent
tariff on computer chips. Now, if you want to build
those here in the US, there'll be no charge at all.
And we have seen this, We have seen companies say, yes,
we're going to start US production of these things. This one,
this one here on computer chips is more again than
just charging a tariff. This is this is crucial here.
(34:00):
Are you talking about national security? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that
makes sense. The world runs on these ships. And how
many times we had to say, you know, with the
vast majority of chips and how this ever happened to
begin with who knows being produced in Taiwan, and with
the Chikoms and their aims on Taiwan, you can see
(34:23):
that would be a disaster on multiple fronts, including taking
over basically almost all the world's chip production. So yeah,
this one is twofold, if not threefold here. So is
that why he's hammering until this morning? Gotta be? Okay,
gotta be. You had Tim Cook in the Oval office yesterday,
(34:46):
the CEO of Apple announcing a six hundred billion dollar
investment US operations. Again, this is the other side of
the coin here with these with these tariffs. That doesn't
get mentioned enough by the media. It's not just about
leveling tariffs, making it you know, a fair playing field
with these other countries. I mean, come on, who we
(35:07):
have been paying out the nos to some of these
countries and getting nothing back. It's not fair. But it's
also about driving more investment, you know, onto our shores
here and that has been happening there you go, six
hundred billion dollar investment by Apple and US operations, and
(35:31):
needless to say, demand for computer chips continues to increase worldwide.
So this one is important on a number of fronts. Well.
By the way, with this Apple announcement, the word is
is that this will this investment will create close to
(35:53):
half a million jobs across the country. That figure seems
kind of high to me. But even if you get
a half of that or a quarter of that, I mean,
it's it's a big win. It's a big investment. Yeah,
So the next round of tarifs skating ready to go
to effect here and that by that, that Apple, that's
(36:13):
a game changing investment right there. And yeah, Trump hammering
Intel this morning, He's going to continue to hammer these
tech companies, you know, bring you a production here these chips,
you know, and Nvidia is making big investment investments in
this country. We got a number of places where this
is happening. And this is again not just leveling the
(36:38):
playing field on tariffs, but it is in the interest
of national security. I was reading an article this morning,
I don't even punt it out or whatever, but talking
about how the Chinese hackers and how many Chinese products
we have in this country that are a tech sore
of products, and how it's opening doors for all sorts
(36:59):
of nefarious things to happen. And you know, a kind
of theme we hit on every now and then have
for years that yeah, you don't need you don't need
nuclear weapons anymore. You just need a hacker flipping a switch,
shutting down a grid. It's all it takes. Now. I
would like to think, I have no idea if this
(37:21):
is the case or not. You'd like to think it
goes back to the old mad the mutually assured destruction
thing from back in the Cold War, that we also
have the ability to shut down a grid anywhere we
want to, and that's the only thing keeping somebody like
the communist Chinese from doing it to us. We could Yeah, yeah,
(37:42):
I gotta hope we could do it too, right, You
would hope we've employed enough seventeen year olds in the
government who can make that happen if we needed to happen, right,
pull the plug on some country. Goodness six What was
that book? Years came? I years ago? I remember somebody talking.
I've read portions of it online. This was written probably
(38:03):
fifteen years ago at least, about how that would what
that would look like if the grid just went down,
and it wouldn't take long before we just self destruct.
We can't even take a couple hours out age in
a storm. That's scarce. The scary proposition right there. Okay,
(38:27):
so tariff's more leveled coming into play today. Dozens of
countries affected, and yeah, you better, hey, chip makers come here,
or the tariffs are going to be one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Listen anytime when I'm going to work with the iHeart.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Radio line, I downloaded the app on my phone.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I can listen whenever I want one on three point
five MM 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 WVOC.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
And now our final thoughts for Thursday, August the seventh,
that is eight forty in the morning. A news today,
a federal grand jury has found a woman guilty of
fraudulently obtaining Social Security benefits. This is a Cynthia Dolores
Holland guilty. Apparently, her mother passed back in twenty thirteen.
(39:26):
She had a joint account with mom, kept collecting benefits
and cashing the checks and spending that dough over a
course of nine years more than one hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars according to the federal prosecutors. Cynthia Dolores Holland,
by the way, a former elections official in Aacon County.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
And then her defense was, after all this money came
in after I mean, that's a lot of money for
Social Security. I mean we're talking about a lot of
checks to wind up nine years worth six yeah, six figures.
And then she decided to pay it all back.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah. I guess she'd been putting it under the mattress
or something. I don't know. Yeah, former election official. That's
the kicker for that one, right there.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I think the kicker is she decided to pay it
all back after she found out she was under investigation, right, yeah,
then she was sorry that the timing was a little off,
just a bit.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
The standoff in Texas continues. I think today's the deadline,
right that the governor says he'll be uh issuing arrest
warrants for these a wall Texas Democrats. I mean, at
some point time they got to come back home, right,
at some point they got to come back, you would think. So, yeah, uh, okay, Well,
(40:56):
news that groups tied to George Sorows imagine that and
to failed multiple failure candidate Beto O'Rourke or picking up
a tab for these Texas Democrats. Yeah, Powered by People
(41:17):
has directed all donations towards supporting the effort. Scored to
the Texas Tribune. This is Beto's political action committee that
along with the Soros backed Texas Majority Pack. Wait a minute,
a Democrat pack in Texas is named the Texas Majority Pack. Really,
(41:39):
if you had the majority, you'd be redrawn for your
own purposes. Come on, okay, that should come as no
great surprise to anybody. Will the FEDS get involved? Uh?
I hope so can pack in the age announcing an
(42:01):
investigation into those groups. Yeah, the the hypocrisy and all
of this is again you had you had so many
of these democrats go to a state in Illinois where
they've been Jerry mannering for forever in favor of democrats. Yeah, okay, good.
(42:22):
Then you had one, uh, Yolanda Jones, Texas Democrat in
the state House making comments in an interview with Don
Lemon where where she likened redistricting in the Lone Star
state to the Holocaust. Uh. People were like, she says,
(42:48):
how did the Holocaust happen? How is somebody in the
position to kill all them people? Well? Good people remain silent?
What why? Why? Why did people continue to want to
go down that road? I don't know. Unbelievable. So word
that the Department of Justice is reportedly deliberating whether or
(43:11):
not to release the transcript of that interview with the
Gallaid Maxwell. Apparently she doesn't want her grand jury testimony unsealed.
But this is the Uh, this is the transcript of
the interview. They're considering it. When the time is right,
I think was said, I think the time is right now.
(43:37):
This story has lost a little bit of its traction.
It has and again that's the that's the long play.
The administration is hoping over time. Well, yeah, it'll slip
from consciousness once again. Trump got asked about it in
the Oval office yesterday. I was totally out of it yesterday.
Speaker 4 (43:55):
Well, I mean he jd Vance was in the room too,
and he got asked if jd Vance had held some
behind the scenes to discuss Epstein's strategy, and Van stepped
up and said, that's fake news, and then Trump added, bs.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah, the whole word. Well, Maxwell, for her efforts gets
down to a to a cushy federal lock up.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, which you know a lot of people are upset
about that. Yeah, whether she's cooperating or not.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I mean she including some of the for her fellow inmates.
Now we're happy that she's there, right, Okay, Well this
is what she got for for for that. We'll see
how it goes. Florida Republican Corey Mills, who seems to
be on the wrong side of the news a lot
these days. Latest on Mills is that Lindsey Langston, the
(44:51):
twenty four winner of the Miss United States beauty pageant,
this is not Miss USA. Okay, this is Miss United States.
I don't know. I don't even heard to know the
difference Okay, yeah, it's different. But which is different from
Miss America exactly? Yeah, which is different from Miss South Carolina.
We've got a lot of these. She's followed restraining order
against the congressman, accusing him of threatening to release nude
(45:14):
videos of her. They apparently had a thing at one time. Uh,
and she's now in a new relationship. She is too. Yeah. Boy,
it's quietly some Republicans are starting to have qualms about Mills.
His name is pumped up again in a negative connotation
(45:36):
quite a bit as of late Trump's saying he might
send the National Guard to DC, the police the streets
to fight crime. This after a staffer, are we don't
even allowed to say this name on the air? The
nickname of this kid, I mean it's ball with the
news I think so, you know this is the guy.
This is one of Elon Musk's proteges, the Dozer. The dozer, Yeah,
(45:57):
twenty three year old. I think he is a big ball.
This is what they referred to him as so as
the story goes, he tried to intervene when a bunch
of bunch of thugs tried to carjack a woman and
he got in the middle of it. And got a
pretty good beating for his efforts. Trump says this is
a this has got to stop. Although apparently crime in
(46:21):
the in the district is at a thirty year low.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
Trump's got an on again, off again with the mayor
of DC. So, yeah, I don't know how this is
going to go or you know, she may welcome it,
and she may say, I, you don't know what you're
talking about here. Yeah, I mean they're sometimes lovey dew
and they're sometimes not right.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
And uh, why she went here? Who knows. I don't
think it was a distraction of any sort, but maybe
it's just what she thinks. Tulca Gabbard, the Director of
National Intelligence, in the New York Post podcast pod Force one,
for some reason, was asked about aliens and is there
any you know, kind of classified material out there, and
(47:00):
she says, I have my own views and opinions in
this role, I have to be careful with what I share.
But when asked about the possibility of extra extraal life,
is that she said, yes, oh jeez. But she says
she wasn't prepared to talk about the details, that her
(47:23):
office would be transparent with the public when the time comes.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Okay, here we go again. See that captivates you, it does?
That would be way down. If I was allowed to
ask things to a government official that most people don't,
that'd be way down on the list.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Oh I would, I would even think to ask that.
But you know, out of everything, out of anything and everything,
you know, if if we were given proof one of
these days that the ETS really existed, well, that upsets
the entire Apple card. I mean, boom, it's it's, it's,
it's yeah. For at least a little while, nothing else
(47:58):
would matter, right, true thing spell
