Speaker 1 (00:30):
Good morning, tell you at this sixteen minutes after six o'clock.

wonderful to have you with us morning. I'm Gary, Christopher

Good morning. All right, brother, all right, good just talking

(00:50):
message thing here, sir, working now, he says, He says,
hang on, he's got new information coming here in just
a little bit. Is that some technical issues over there
in our traffic department? Okay, all right, anyhow, hanging on
is everywhere? Yes, all right, Well, let's hope it won't
be you know, one of them days right there. Huh.
All right, let's get right to it. Shall we run
(01:11):
down big stories hot topics? Tuesday, September twenty three. Listen,
I don't even want to talk about this this morning
because the details are just shocking. Oh all right, well,
now you've got my full account. Yeah, we're not going
(01:32):
to get into all of the detail. But according to
the federal case that has been laid out now against
James B. Gosnell Junior.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Okay, this is the low Country match magistrate down in
the Low Country. Yeah, we know something more than we
knew before we do. Okay, he's now accused of more
than just viewing child porn.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh. Okay, sexually abusing children in his neighborhood in West Ashley,
planning to travel to Florida to molest and allegedly kill
(02:22):
an infant with another man. Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, And this is the federal case against him. Yeah,
and this came out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
He was supposed to appear yesterday at a detention hearing,
but wave that after these new allegations were revealed by
the federal prosecutors. Wow, this is no wonder.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He was so forthcoming when the Feds allegedly, you know,
when they knocked on his door and he said, you know, hey,
come on in, here's what I got. He was siding
a bigger.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, he was. He was hoping to go Okay, that's it. Okay,
you know that there's a lot more to this than that.
The federal the federal prosecures in this case.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well, thank goodness they got there when they did.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
There, there there are I mean that what I just
told you is is is enough. Okay, but there's there,
there's there's more to this, and uh wow, it's it's news,
so we got to talk about it. But well we'll
get into some more of that. How did I miss
(03:33):
that this morning? I don't know. Man Posting Courier, Uh,
they're they're a piece on it. Fitch News also has
some of these details. Well I just told you about
it came from the Post and Courier this morning. Unbelievable.
Gabrielle Street can do a four, but no worries there.
(03:55):
It's following the path of all these other hurricanes so
far this year. And there are two other waves out there.
The first one is well east of the Caribbean. Wave
sounds very non threatening, like yeah, wave, we'll go with wave.
That one's expected to pretty much take the same track
that Gabrielle has taken. Stay out there. Another one that
(04:20):
it's got about a fifty to fifty chance. But if
this becomes something, well right now at least it's expected
to turn northwest near Bahamalalare this week and then track
just off the East coast next week early next week.
But again no landfall on the East coast. Let's hope
they're right, right, I hope. So, yeah, the part of
(04:44):
public safety out with the numbers. You know, last week
was a big push operation keep us Safe. You pass
a trooper, any any sort of official law enforcement or
the vehicle like that on the side of the road,
move over. And over five days they issued two thousand
(05:05):
and eighty three citations. Okay, so we've got a problem. Yeah,
an average of four hundred and seventy five every day
where folks would not move over.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Not that troopers getting killed and injured was not a problem,
but now we can see it happens.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, those weren't freaky accidents.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, okay, So yeah, hopefully they got some folks attention there.
Blithewood leaders there are struggling to address safety concerns after
again more violent incidents. So Blithewood has big become a
place that's in the news all too often for all
(05:47):
all the wrong reasons. Here. Recently they have canceled events,
recent shootings, heightening concerns, and they're trying to figure out
what the world to do with that. We mentioned this
poll yesterday that had come out several days back by
what was I'd never heard of? The coefficient? Is this
polling outfit one that showed that Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt
(06:08):
had really popped up in the polls thanks to her
slew of advertising. She's the only Republican candidate advertising right now,
so that's not terribly surprising. But there are some other
interesting tidbits in this poll that we want to get to,
and we'll do that later on.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, by the way, Nancy Mace, who's, you know, a
friend of women everywhere, is not very friendly with her
opponent in that race.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, no, No, this is going to be a
long slog here. Well, it wasn't, as it turns out,
much of anything. It is really basically just an extended
weekend for Jimmy Kimmel. We'll be back on not all
but most ABC stations tonight as Disney has come to
(06:57):
some agreement, some negotiate. I'm not sure what it was.
What do we know? Are there any conditions set on
his reappearance that I'm not sure of it. I'm going
to dig a little deeper here. Just the conversation or
the statement from Disney that they had made the decision
to suspend production last week to avoid further inflaming a
(07:20):
tense situation, and that they've spent the last days having
thoughtful conversations with Jimmy. Okay, so he's back on tonight.
But if in this market is the local affiliate here
is not owned by Sinclair. Actually Sinclair owns Watchbox fifty
(07:41):
seven on this market. But those Sinclair owned ABC stations
will not, at least for now, be airing Kimb's show.
They're going to put on news programming instead. A lot
of talk about something that Trump alluded to and his
address at the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday when he
(08:02):
popped in there to be making an announcement on autism
and well the claims from the administration that to Thailand,
all is a cause of autism and children. Now, the
medical community is what are these unfounded claims or not?
This is what some are saying. The President, as he
(08:24):
said he would do, signing an order labeling Antifa as
a domestic terrorist organization. Honestly, I'm not sure what that
does because of the lack of a makeup of Antifa.
But hey, I'm all for that. And are we inching
ever closer to the europe ablaze? Here word now that
(08:44):
Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace. That's a NATO ally
new UN Ambassador Mike Waltz warning yesterday that we will,
along with our allies, defend every inch of NATO territory.
And the shrimp recall has expanded. The radioactive shrimp appear.
(09:05):
There's more of it now, another company, not the original one,
another one, and this does impact some shrimp that was
sold here in South Carolina. Well look, give you all
the details. No, we don't want you down at radioactive shrimp.
I mean, come on, all right, we'll get to that.
More coming up here on this. It is the Tuesday
(09:25):
morning edition of Columbia's Morning News. It is good to
have you with us. Thank you so much. Here about it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We go wake up to the country, talk about it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
This is this is pure evil.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
One O three point five FFM and 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 1 (09:52):
Yeah, somebody you got to be getting to it's six
forty two. Just heads up, good morning, It's Tuesday, September
twenty third, Hannah, he just talking about Gavin Newsom, and yeah,
Gavin declaring that ICE in California cannot wear masks. Well,
DHS says, yeah, not so fast, Gavin. Their ICE agents
(10:13):
will not be complying with the new law in California.
To be clear, we will not comply with Gavin Newsom's
unconstitutional mask ban. That was a DHS post on X yesterday,
spokesperson for DHS calling the California law unconstitutional and saying
(10:35):
that ICE agents are only wearing face masks for their
own personal protection. And yeah, writing in the statement due
to unprecedented threat levels they face, which is exactly why
they're wearing the masks. It's not an intimidation thing. Oh,
it's the Gestapo, it's the Nazis. Yeah, we've heard all that, right,
(11:01):
McLoughlin A. Tricia mclafflin, the spokesperson, saying, not only are
they facing one thousand percent increase in assaults upon them,
largely because of the rhetoric of these politicians again liking
him to the Gestapo to Nazis. This is what Gavin
Newsom is doing, and this is what Democrat politicians are doing,
(11:26):
he says. The statement says he's giving a permission slip
and encouraging violence against our law enforcement officers. It's it's
instance insane, it really is. So yeah, DHS says, we'll
not comply. So what are you gonna do, Gavin? What
are you gonna do when there's an ice officer on
the streets of La or any other city in California
(11:47):
massed up? What are you gonna do? Well?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I will give Gavin new some credit because we had
written him off for dead politically, yeah, just a few
months ago, and he has framed himself confidently, you know,
over time and now is there any other Democrat leader
than anyone's listening to behind besides Newsom?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He's he's getting all the all the attention right now. Yeah, Yeah,
that's what all this is about. This is this is
Gavin Newsom twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And part of that is and I'm not sure she's
making any inroads, but he knows Kamala Harris is out
there right now promoting a book. He wants to make
sure no one's paying attention to her. Sure this isn't
just about Trump. This is about his own party. Oh yeah,
this is about his play.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And I don't know what the How much longer is
he a for re election for governor before twenty twenty eight?
I guess he is right. I don't know when that'll
be now with his shenanigans, I'm not sure that California
photos is gonna say yeah, we want another whatever. The
amount of time is that Gavin Newsom or not, But
I suppose time will tell Yeah, he can't run. Oh
(13:01):
he's term limited. Okay, okay, so this is it for him.
So make all the noise you can right now. I
got it, I got it. So again, here here's an
instance of the Democrat Party failing uh to understand the
desires of their citizenry for basic law and order, which
(13:25):
is the number one, you know, the number one responsibility
of any government to keep the citizenr re safe. Well.
About a week or two ago, the Washington Post dropped
a poll finding that Republicans led Democrats on the economy
by seven percent, on immigration by thirteen percent, on crime
(13:49):
by twenty two percent. Sounds about ray, it does, doesn't it? So?
I mean it shouldn't be that way.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Numbers shouldn't be skewed that heavily from one party to
another on the issue of crime. Something we shook us
on that we should all agree with each other on crime.
It shouldn't happen. We should fight it with everything we
have in our arsenal. And yet Democrats have gone the
wrong way on crime.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They have You look back to twenty twenty two when
it came to the topic the issue of crime. Republicans,
well that this twenty two percent lead they have right
now was twelve percent. They've always been seen as the
party to be tougher on crime, but that number over
(14:43):
the last three years has gone up by ten percentage points,
from twelve to twenty two percent. And you don't have
to look forward to understand why can you make the
case that the crime right now is that much worse
it was in twenty twenty two. Well, it may be,
(15:05):
but two things. The Republicans emphasis on fighting crime and
the democrats apparent emphasis on not fighting crime is led
to this perception shift. You're right, that should be an
issue that both parties pull somewhat equally on. They'll never
(15:28):
be equal on it, but I mean, twenty two percent
more people favor the Republicans on that issue than the
Democrat Party. That's just well, you get what you pay for, right,
And after a disastrous election back in November for the
(15:48):
Democrat Party and all the soul searching and all what
do we get wrong? And what are we gonna do
to fix this, that they're still going to that same path.
They just don't get it or are they just listening
to the fringe of their of their party and they're
afraid of those people for some reason. I don't know. Again, Pauling,
(16:12):
we've seen you know, more Democrats than than than than not. Well,
whose policies do they like? They like the policies of
AOC more than anybody else AOC, Bernie Sanders and Dad Elk,
So I guess it's no great surprise here, right, Wow, Okay,
(16:36):
the midterms will be here a little over a year.
Gonna be interesting. If these numbers don't change, that's a
party in big trouble, no matter what else is going on.
That's a party in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
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, and it is.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Sixteen minutes after seven o'clock. Good morning for Tuesday, September
the twenty third. Now we have we've got to talk
about this. We let off the program of the six
o'clock hour by mentioning some of the details here that
(17:24):
I mean, not much shocks us anymore, but this does. Now,
before we start to talk about this, I want to
implore you if you have if you're in the car
right now and you've got youngsters with you. As much
(17:45):
as I hate to say this, I don't want you
to listen for about the next five or six minutes
because they don't need to hear this. Okay, So again,
if if you're in the car at home and listen
(18:05):
to us in the radio, the app or whatever, just
just just turn it down for the next couple of
minutes because you don't have to explain this to your kid.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I'm not sure I want to hear it, right And yeah,
and if and maybe you don't as an adult, you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Maybe you don't want to hear this. I get it.
But considering who this individual is in the position they held,
we got to talk about it. So okay, here we go,
all right, We found out last week that we had
(18:43):
a magistrate judge in the Low Country, James Gosnell or
arrested for having child porn on a flash drive. Right,
it's a flash drive, yes, and that in and of
(19:04):
itself should be shocking enough, but unfortunately it seems to
becoming way too common. We had no idea how bad.
At least according to the Feds. This is so Gosnell,
who was jailed about a week ago, I guess it was,
(19:25):
was supposed to have an attention hearing yesterday, but he
waived his right to that after new allegations were revealed
by federal prosecutors. And they are beyond shocking. They are sickening.
I don't know if I can find a strong enough
word to describe this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And this is something they just discovered. Did they know
this before they busted in on him?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I don't know. I don't have an answer for that, Okay,
thinking they probably did. If that's the case, why they
didn't lay this out originally. But let's get to it
all right, Posting Courier reporting that Gosnell, who was expected
(20:17):
to be charged with first degree criminal sexual conduct with
a minor, now they say, according to these newly released
documents he's accused of sexually abusing children in his West
Ashley neighborhood. It's a magistrate judge now sexually abusing children
(20:40):
in his West Ashley neighborhood. So we've gone from viewing
and sharing and buying child pornography to actually engaging in
sexually abusing children in his own neighborhood. But it gets worse.
(21:02):
These documents also reveal that Gosnell was planning to travel
to Florida to molest and allegedly kill an infant with
another man. Uh do we know who the other man is?
(21:33):
I don't have a name, or do the Feds. I'm
going to guess they do, oh as ah. On telegram messages,
(21:58):
there are numerous instances in which he claims he raped
and abused children, citing alleged female victims who were only
three months old and five months old at the time.
Guys No claims to have sexually assaulted them. According to
(22:19):
the filing, one alleged victim was only two weeks old.
And how did he get access? That was to say
the same thing?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Is he the neighborhood babysitter? How did I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
One leaves two month and three month old babies.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
With a sixty something year old guy, right, unless he's
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Dad or granddad.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Maybe this talk of international travel to again engage in
sex with children, that's a recurring theme, yeah, isn't it? Though,
late summer twenty twenty five he traveled alone to Amsterdam,
(23:07):
they think for that purpose. They also claim he had
been leading online chats to teach other pedophiles the tricks
of the trade wow, and to suggest that his knowledge
of the criminal justice system could aid him in fleeing
and evading accountability for alleged crimes. Were he allowed out
of prison? Okay, no bail for this guy. Obviously, in
(23:38):
all our years, we've never had a story like this. Again,
this has gone from a guy who purchased and viewed
child porn to a guy who the FED say was
sexually abusing infants in his own neighborhood and internationally planning
(24:05):
a trip to molest and kill an infant along with
another man. And this guy has been holding court in
the Charleston area for years as a magistrate judge. I'm
(24:33):
gonna lost for words here, man. How pervasive is this
kind of insanity among our leaders? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I mean because this is two major stories now involving
people who were in positions of power in this state locally,
not statewide, but still.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, okay, so this is again the detail. Again, I
have no words, and I don't know in most of
the mainstream media how they'll how much of this they'll report.
It's it's it's hard to talk about this. And uh,
(25:20):
you know, if if if we have upset you by
relaying these details this morning, that I'm sorry, we all
need to be upset. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
On the air, on the on the job check in
while you work for the very latest.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I one old.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Three point five FM, MAN five sixty AM Double 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 1 (25:56):
Seven forty one. By the way, in case you missed
it earlier, we were mentioning that their Proper of Public
Safety has to put out their final numbers on their
five day operation keep Us Safe. This is this is
the in response to this is this rash of of
troopers on the side of the road being being hit
in the one instances, one instance that is one trooper
(26:20):
died here in just the last a month as a result.
So a five day blitz writing citations for people who
were failing to to to move over when they passed
a law enforcement vehicle on the side of the road.
(26:42):
In five days, two eighty three citations. It's an average
of four hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
A day at a time when all we should all
be aware, even more aware than usual.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Uh huh. The law has been on the books now
for a while, to move over law. And while they
were at it, they also wrote quite a number of
citations for drivers who had their cell phone in their hands.
Remember that's the law too.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Now, Now that how big a part does that play?
The fact that we're distracted drivers and we're not even
paying attention to the siren that's behind us, or the
policeman pulled over on the side of the road ahead
of us, right right, or or anybody else around us.
Yeah right now, that right now, it's just a warning.
(27:41):
But come March next year, you will you will get
a ticket and a fine for operating with a cell
phone in your hand. And I got to I gotta
be honest.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean, for a lot of folks and I'm I'm
I'm including myself here. That's that's a hard habit to break.
Don't look at me like you've never done it before.
Come on, all right, So the indefinite suspension didn't last
very long, did it. Jimmy Kimmel Live. We back on
ABC tonight, at least on the network and on most
(28:13):
of their stations, but not Sinclair owned stations. Now, for
the record, the ABC affiliate here is not owned by
Sinclair Broadcasting, but in those markets where Sinclair does own
the ABC will feel the affiliate. It doesn't. Yeah, the
ABC affiliate, they will not be airing kim Alive. And
(28:34):
I don't know how long that's going to last. They'll
put on news programming, they say instead. But yeah, this
didn't take long, did it.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
And there are reports that ABC is trying to re
up with him, you know, which I'm not. I'm not
sure I even understand that relationship, because the reports last
week were that Kimmel, you know, was turning his back
on ABC forever because they turned their back on him.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And now.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
My question is, all right, what what happens tonight is
he does ABC lean into it and say have at it?
You can make fun of us. You can make fun
of Trump, you can make fun of Charlie Kirk, you
can do whatever you want. Or does he come back
contrite restricted, Well, we're only going to talk about politics
(29:23):
for a little while tonight, you know, and the rest
of my monologue is going to be funny.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
What happens? Well, see, I'm thinking again, if you if
you're ABC, this is this is who you got. Okay, Now,
Kimmel wasn't always this way, at least on the air. No.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I used to watch The Man Show. I mean, he
was pretty hilarious, little body but funny, but it was
The Man Show, of course his body.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and even when he first took over this slot,
it wasn't well yeah, I mean, politics would creep into it,
but it's not like it's become.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I mean, ABC, you know what you got on your hands,
and you're asking a tiger to change the stripes. Now,
maybe he can. He's done in the past. Well again,
as we documented last week when all this first came down,
he's lost a vast majority of his audience. Well, of course,
of the last number of years. Maybe they sat down
(30:27):
and looked and crunched some numbers and said, hey, Jimmy,
this ain't working, And maybe he agreed, but I kind
of doubt it.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Well, I mean, you're going to lean into it at
this point and you're gonna get whatever ratings because everybody's
going to be tuned into night. Oh yeah, oh sure,
just to see what he says. I mean, you'll get
the most attention with Tonight's show that you ever will.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
M Yeah, but I just.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Wonder, I mean, is ABC willing to be the punching
bag tonight? Will they take it? Or have they said
lay off us? But you can say whatever you want
about you know, everybody else.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well. Their statement a from Disney issued yesterday. Last Wednesday,
we made the decision to suspend production on the show
to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional
moment for our country. It's a decision we made because
we felt some of the comments were ill timed and
thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful
(31:27):
conversations with Jimmy, and after those we've reached the decision.
We turned the show on Tuesday. That was the statement.
So nothing critical of him, just insensitive comments at an
ill timed time.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I guess and didn't even accuse him of making those statements.
It was almost as if they were saying, you know,
in general, there have been a lot, there's been a
lot of talk, and we're trying to calm things down.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, I think, and maybe it won't be tonight or
even this week, but I don't see Jimmy Kimmel changing
his ways.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Well that's yeah, Ultimately it's a business decision. Let's see
what the ratings look like. Let's see how first, let's
see how the advertisers would they decide to stick with
him or bail out.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, they'll have the final world on this, won't they.
And I'll be curious to see how long the Sinclair owns.
I think it's thirty some odd thirty three something like that.
ABC affiliates across the country are owned by Sinclair, who
at least for now, says they're not going to put
him back on the air. Well, that's that's a big chunk.
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM and five sixty am WVOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It is fifteen after eight. Good morning for Tuesday, September
twenty third. We appreciate your patron in this morning. I'm
Gary David. He is Christopher Thompson, and uh Gabrielle is
going to stay way out in the Atlantic. That is
good news. Category four hurricane. We'll stay east of Bermuda.
So gosh, we've only had two named hurricanes in the
(33:08):
Atlantic so far this season. But but yeah, but I
remember last year Helene was late September. Then we had
another one about a week or two later. So yeah,
we're far the way now. There are two other systems
out there. You called them waves or waves.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I like it. Let's go a wave that sounds non threatening.
I like that word.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
They both have a chance to develop into a tropical system.
But it looks like, well, the first one back there,
with an eighty percent chance of becoming a depression, is
going to stay probably take the same track that that
that this one is escape roil and just stay to
the east of Bermuda. The second one, well, they think
(33:55):
it'll probably make a normally turn too, but it may
kind of brush the east coast, but no direct landfalls.
That's that's what they're thinking is right now. So yeah,
it's been a been a quiet hurricane season. Let's let's
hope it stays that way.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
All these words depression, it's disturbance.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
It's depressing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, And the disturbance is the other one they used it.
Of course, it's disturbing if it's coming my way, it
is and depressing.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
True. Supposed to just stick with Wave for now. Yesterday,
we share the results of a poll from an outfit
I'd never heard of before, co Efficient, who dropped an
independent poll of one thousand ninety four likely Republican primary
voters across the state. The winner in this poll, by
(34:42):
the way, undecided. Who's running a heck of a campaign,
I should say, undecided at thirty five percent. Now, well
it's early. It's still with Garrier. I mean, come on, yeah, matter.
I would would say that, you know, you're your average
voter in our state right now, You're an average voter. They well,
(35:08):
and we saw as the result of this poll the
only person they may even know who's running of this
race is a Pamelaviott because she's the only one who
has run advertising so far. So the Lieutenant governor went
from you know, mired in single or low single digits
to the second spot in this poll that was the
big news yesterday said if the election were today, nineteen
(35:32):
percent woul vote for Nancy Mace, eighteen percent for Pamela Abbott,
and sixteen percent for Alan Wilson. If you're curious, Ralph
Norman was at ten percent. Josh Kimberrel, Yeah, who right?
Two percent? So this is really still I think a
name recognition poll Nancy Mace. Of course we do this
(35:53):
going in before she ever announced. I mean, when it
came to name recognition, well, she has a way of
getting her name out there. Pamela Avitt. Who's that woman
standing behind the shoulder of the governor at every appearance, Yeah,
that's the lieutenant governor, Pamela Abott And a lot of
folks probably even know her name. So, but she spent
a lot of money, and this money spent has been
(36:16):
well twofold. As we talked about yesterday. Number one to
tire her to Trump, because her ad is probably more
Trump that is Abott. But number two, just important is
to get people to know who she is.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Do you think every other candidate's gonna leave Trump out
of their ads?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
You know, I'm thinking they'll probably work them in as
best as they can yes, I think so, yeah, yeah,
but a little more detail on this. This morning, the
Paul also showed this, thirty six percent of people responding
had a favorable opinion of Mace. Evia had a twenty
nine percent favorable Mace still had twenty six percent unfavorable opinion,
(36:59):
whereas it had a six percent unfavorable opinion. Thirty four
percent had a favorable view of Alan Wilson. Just ten
percent reported unfavorable opinions. Okay, now, as the poll points
out that disparity and unfavorable opinions could be again partially
(37:19):
due to name recognition. So here's here was my point.
When it came to have you have you never heard
of Nancy Mace, only six percent said they'd never heard
of her. Thirty one percent said they had never heard
of Pamela Abbott. She's our lieutenant governor, for crying out loud,
(37:44):
but that's what the lieutenant governor position is in the
state pretty much, you know, non existent. You can't see me.
So thirty one percent had never heard of Pamela Abbott,
twenty six percent had never heard of Ralph Norman, twenty
two percent had never heard of Alan Wilson. He's been
Attorney general like you know, half his life, it seems,
(38:09):
and you know, nearly one out of four, just over
one out of five, had no idea who Alan Wilson was,
needless to say, about half said they'd never heard of
Senator Josh Kimberl. So this is again, this is my point,
(38:30):
you know, low informed voters. I find it just bizarre
that in the state that you lieutenant governor, one out
of four people had no idea who she was. And
this poll, by the way, maybe is the advertising word
(38:53):
obviously it is. I mean, she's bopped, she's popped up
in the rankings, but it was taken last week. Her
campaign had been on the air with ads now for
several weeks at that point. But still one out of
four had never heard of her before, and that one
out of five had never heard of the attorney general.
(39:14):
I find that staggering. Actually a couple other little tidbits here, taxing, spending,
inflation topping the list of the most important things to
us taxes, spending, in inflation as one about fifteen percent. Now, remember,
(39:38):
if you're going to run as a Republican in this primary,
you're going to have to run on a promise to
get rid of state income taxes, and they all are
the legislature with our appetite this past session with that.
But is this poll at all accurate? Yeah, I was
(39:58):
talking about what's the margin of air? Three point one
seven percent? Okay, that's that's that's about right. But over
half the respondents were over the age of sixty five,
ninety four percent were white. Thirty four percent of them
came out of the Greenville market. Okay, it's pretty small
(40:21):
sample size all in all, even though thirty four percent
came out of the Greenville market, still you had twenty
six percent who didn't know who Ralph Norman was. He's
your congressman. Hello. And about a third who responded had
a household income of between one one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Now, you might could say, well, you know what,
(40:43):
that's somewhat representative of the Republican samples. But still a
third have an income over one hundred thousand dollars between
one hundred and fifty a third were in Greenville area,
and more than half we're over the age of sixty five. Yeah,
(41:08):
I'm gonna have to drop a flag on this pole.
That doesn't seem bright to me, but what do I know.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Traffic and weather when you needed most every ten minutes mornings.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Because I need to know what I'm gonna wear in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
On one O three point five FM and 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 1 (41:40):
Yeah, it's time for our final thoughts here for Tuesday,
September twenty third is eight forty one. Now here things
are We pretty much touched everything here Again, I'm not
gonna repeat it right now, but this this, this, the
new details acording to the federal allegations against this Low
Country magic former Low Country magistrate to Gosnell are beyond
(42:04):
troubling if you and this is not being reported widely,
not yet at least, and the depth of the detail
that the Post and Curry went into, there could be
some mediatlysts that just not gonna want to repeat some
of that stuff. I'll tell you all right.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Question, Yes, as we spend further, we know that our
Jmay is trying to get his own accusations of child
abuse or child sexual material move to a different venue.
He says he can't get a fair trial here. That
story is now going to resonate throughout the Low Country.
(42:44):
So if you're our Jmay, you're running out of places
in the state to take your trial where people aren't
going to be talking about state officials being accused of
at least having child sexual abuse material, if not more.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
You know, let's put it this way, if you just
look at the political ideology of the state, you want
to go to the upstate with that. If you're worried
about how conservatives are going to act, and you being
you know, a conservative or e County, uh, Midlands is out,
Low Cutter is going to be out.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yeah, and every time you hear about this magistrate in
the Low Country now it's going to be those two
stories are going to be tied together.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. But if you've missed all
those details, the podcast is going to be up here
just after nine o'clock on the iHeartRadio app that we
did that We talked about that in the seven the
bottom around seven fifteen or so, I guess I will yeh.
So if you want to fast forward through it to
get to that for the stunning I mean, just the
(43:50):
stunning accusations against this judge'll it'll it'll turn your stomach,
all right. A lot being said today, and Trump alluded
to this when he gave his his his speech at
the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday. The announcement yesterday that
(44:11):
don't take time at all if you're pregnant. There have
been studies that have raised a possibility that a set
of metaphine during pregnancy might increase the risk of autism.
But there are plenty of other studies that find that
find that that's not a concern. This is gonna be
(44:33):
talked about for a while. And I don't you know,
I'm my wife, wis she was pregnant. She wouldn't take anything,
I mean nothing, which you know, again, if you can
do that, it's probably the best course of action anyway. Right, Sure,
But this is something that they've apparently been studying for
decades and there's not been at least as far as
(44:54):
the medical community is concerned. They haven't been able to
agree on whether there's a link or not. But Trump
rolled that out yesterday regardless, and that's causing some angst.
Needless to say, he also signed an executive varder yesterday
to designate to ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization. Well
here here to that. Now, I don't know what goodness does. Again,
(45:16):
it's not an organization and of itself with leadership and
all this, But still it doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt. Allegations
that Tom Holman, you know the Borders are, was bribed
or took a fifty thousand dollars bribe, the White House
(45:38):
shutting down those allegations yesterday. The allegations were that Holman
had accepted a cash bribe from the FBI under the
Biden administration, that they have recorded him taking fifty k
from undercover agents posing his business executives. In exchange for
(45:58):
the cash, he allegedly agreed to help them obtain government
contracts once he secured a role in Trump administration. The
White House says none of this is true, it's blatantly political,
and that the the FBI, this FBI had found no
evidence of illegal activity. That you had FBI agents under
(46:24):
Biden's regime trying to entrap one of the President's top
allies and supporters. Okay, warnings from new UN Ambassador Mike Waltz.
Trump will be speaking at the und today that ought
to be good. Walt's warning yesterday that the US and
our allies in NATO will defend every inch of NATO territory.
(46:45):
This after Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace. I'm gonna
tell you, Vladimir Putin is he's testing. He's he's pushing
the envelope. Now, he's seeing exactly how far he can go.
And you know, I'm no Lindsey Graham here, Okay, all right,
I'm no warhawk. But at some point in time, unless
(47:08):
there's if there's not pushback from somebody in some way,
shape or form other than hey, don't do that, then
he's going to keep pushing it. That's my opinion. At
some point, I mean Article five is gonna have to
be invoked. Here it was Poland, now it's Estonia. Both
(47:33):
the UK and the polls bowing to confront any Russian
aircraft wouity in the airspace. That's what it's going to take.
We mentioned yesterday a suspected cyber attack affecting a number
of international airports over the weekend. Could this be a
test for something bigger? That's the big question. There are
(47:58):
those experts who say that as probably was. They call
it a tester, I would probably agree with him closing
arguments in just a few minutes. In Fort Pierce, Florida,
where Ryan Ruth has been on TROLI, he rested his
(48:19):
case yesterday. I remember he's acting as his own defense attorney.
This is the guy who didn't take shots at Trump,
but sure planned to on the golf course. And if
you follow any of this, I mean, the dude has
put on a very weird defense. But well, what do
you expect? What do you expect? He has a nutcase. Anyway,
(48:39):
I'm thinking his whole deal here is to try to
convince people he's crazy and whatever. Oklahoma, where a bill
was introduced by two Republican state senators that would require
all public colleges and universities in the state to build
a Charlie Kirk Memorial plaza. If they didn't, they would
(49:00):
be fined. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm not going there. No,
that's no huh no, No, you don't make that something
like that mandatory. No you don't. The Kamala Harris book
comes out today.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Ah, yes, I've seen some snippets of her and Rachel
Mattow last night. Yeah, I missed that, not much to see,
wouldn't think so. A couple of words salads. Well, if
you expect that, I mean, you'd be have been disappointed.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
They're not been right.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
I mean, she's she's definitely turning on Biden.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
Oh yeah now uh. Number of Democrats are not happy,
saying this is causing divisions of the worst possible time
for the for the for the party. You think, yeah,
oh that shrimp recalls expanded. Now some shrimp sold in
our state even radioactive. They say, Okay, maybe just just
(49:55):
don't buy the frozen shrimp for now, all right, unless
you want to glow, extra spicy, extra spicy,
Jesus right. Hell yeah, America and.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
For us formation.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Is wrong.
Speaker 2 (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.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Good morning, tell you at this sixteen minutes after six o'clock.
It's Tuesday, it's the twenty third of September, and it's
wonderful to have you with us morning. I'm Gary, Christopher
is right over there. Good morning to you, says I am.
Good morning. All right, brother, all right, good just talking
back and forth, tumble weed. Hear all the old text
(00:50):
message thing here, sir, working now, he says, He says,
hang on, he's got new information coming here in just
a little bit. Is that some technical issues over there
in our traffic department? Okay, all right, anyhow, hanging on
is everywhere? Yes, all right, Well, let's hope it won't
be you know, one of them days right there. Huh.
All right, let's get right to it. Shall we run
(01:11):
down big stories hot topics? Tuesday, September twenty three. Listen,
I don't even want to talk about this this morning
because the details are just shocking. Oh all right, well,
now you've got my full account. Yeah, we're not going
(01:32):
to get into all of the detail. But according to
the federal case that has been laid out now against
James B. Gosnell Junior.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Okay, this is the low Country match magistrate down in
the Low Country. Yeah, we know something more than we
knew before we do. Okay, he's now accused of more
than just viewing child porn.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh. Okay, sexually abusing children in his neighborhood in West Ashley,
planning to travel to Florida to molest and allegedly kill
(02:22):
an infant with another man. Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, And this is the federal case against him. Yeah,
and this came out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
He was supposed to appear yesterday at a detention hearing,
but wave that after these new allegations were revealed by
the federal prosecutors. Wow, this is no wonder.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He was so forthcoming when the Feds allegedly, you know,
when they knocked on his door and he said, you know, hey,
come on in, here's what I got. He was siding
a bigger.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, he was. He was hoping to go Okay, that's it. Okay,
you know that there's a lot more to this than that.
The federal the federal prosecures in this case.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well, thank goodness they got there when they did.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
There, there there are I mean that what I just
told you is is is enough. Okay, but there's there,
there's there's more to this, and uh wow, it's it's news,
so we got to talk about it. But well we'll
get into some more of that. How did I miss
(03:33):
that this morning? I don't know. Man Posting Courier, Uh,
they're they're a piece on it. Fitch News also has
some of these details. Well I just told you about
it came from the Post and Courier this morning. Unbelievable.
Gabrielle Street can do a four, but no worries there.
(03:55):
It's following the path of all these other hurricanes so
far this year. And there are two other waves out there.
The first one is well east of the Caribbean. Wave
sounds very non threatening, like yeah, wave, we'll go with wave.
That one's expected to pretty much take the same track
that Gabrielle has taken. Stay out there. Another one that
(04:20):
it's got about a fifty to fifty chance. But if
this becomes something, well right now at least it's expected
to turn northwest near Bahamalalare this week and then track
just off the East coast next week early next week.
But again no landfall on the East coast. Let's hope
they're right, right, I hope. So, yeah, the part of
(04:44):
public safety out with the numbers. You know, last week
was a big push operation keep us Safe. You pass
a trooper, any any sort of official law enforcement or
the vehicle like that on the side of the road,
move over. And over five days they issued two thousand
(05:05):
and eighty three citations. Okay, so we've got a problem. Yeah,
an average of four hundred and seventy five every day
where folks would not move over.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Not that troopers getting killed and injured was not a problem,
but now we can see it happens.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, those weren't freaky accidents.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, okay, So yeah, hopefully they got some folks attention there.
Blithewood leaders there are struggling to address safety concerns after
again more violent incidents. So Blithewood has big become a
place that's in the news all too often for all
(05:47):
all the wrong reasons. Here. Recently they have canceled events,
recent shootings, heightening concerns, and they're trying to figure out
what the world to do with that. We mentioned this
poll yesterday that had come out several days back by
what was I'd never heard of? The coefficient? Is this
polling outfit one that showed that Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt
(06:08):
had really popped up in the polls thanks to her
slew of advertising. She's the only Republican candidate advertising right now,
so that's not terribly surprising. But there are some other
interesting tidbits in this poll that we want to get to,
and we'll do that later on.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, by the way, Nancy Mace, who's, you know, a
friend of women everywhere, is not very friendly with her
opponent in that race.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, no, No, this is going to be a
long slog here. Well, it wasn't, as it turns out,
much of anything. It is really basically just an extended
weekend for Jimmy Kimmel. We'll be back on not all
but most ABC stations tonight as Disney has come to
(06:57):
some agreement, some negotiate. I'm not sure what it was.
What do we know? Are there any conditions set on
his reappearance that I'm not sure of it. I'm going
to dig a little deeper here. Just the conversation or
the statement from Disney that they had made the decision
to suspend production last week to avoid further inflaming a
(07:20):
tense situation, and that they've spent the last days having
thoughtful conversations with Jimmy. Okay, so he's back on tonight.
But if in this market is the local affiliate here
is not owned by Sinclair. Actually Sinclair owns Watchbox fifty
(07:41):
seven on this market. But those Sinclair owned ABC stations
will not, at least for now, be airing Kimb's show.
They're going to put on news programming instead. A lot
of talk about something that Trump alluded to and his
address at the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday when he
(08:02):
popped in there to be making an announcement on autism
and well the claims from the administration that to Thailand,
all is a cause of autism and children. Now, the
medical community is what are these unfounded claims or not?
This is what some are saying. The President, as he
(08:24):
said he would do, signing an order labeling Antifa as
a domestic terrorist organization. Honestly, I'm not sure what that
does because of the lack of a makeup of Antifa.
But hey, I'm all for that. And are we inching
ever closer to the europe ablaze? Here word now that
(08:44):
Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace. That's a NATO ally
new UN Ambassador Mike Waltz warning yesterday that we will,
along with our allies, defend every inch of NATO territory.
And the shrimp recall has expanded. The radioactive shrimp appear.
(09:05):
There's more of it now, another company, not the original one,
another one, and this does impact some shrimp that was
sold here in South Carolina. Well look, give you all
the details. No, we don't want you down at radioactive shrimp.
I mean, come on, all right, we'll get to that.
More coming up here on this. It is the Tuesday
(09:25):
morning edition of Columbia's Morning News. It is good to
have you with us. Thank you so much. Here about it.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We go wake up to the country, talk about it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
This is this is pure evil.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
One O three point five FFM and 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 1 (09:52):
Yeah, somebody you got to be getting to it's six
forty two. Just heads up, good morning, It's Tuesday, September
twenty third, Hannah, he just talking about Gavin Newsom, and yeah,
Gavin declaring that ICE in California cannot wear masks. Well,
DHS says, yeah, not so fast, Gavin. Their ICE agents
(10:13):
will not be complying with the new law in California.
To be clear, we will not comply with Gavin Newsom's
unconstitutional mask ban. That was a DHS post on X yesterday,
spokesperson for DHS calling the California law unconstitutional and saying
(10:35):
that ICE agents are only wearing face masks for their
own personal protection. And yeah, writing in the statement due
to unprecedented threat levels they face, which is exactly why
they're wearing the masks. It's not an intimidation thing. Oh,
it's the Gestapo, it's the Nazis. Yeah, we've heard all that, right,
(11:01):
McLoughlin A. Tricia mclafflin, the spokesperson, saying, not only are
they facing one thousand percent increase in assaults upon them,
largely because of the rhetoric of these politicians again liking
him to the Gestapo to Nazis. This is what Gavin
Newsom is doing, and this is what Democrat politicians are doing,
(11:26):
he says. The statement says he's giving a permission slip
and encouraging violence against our law enforcement officers. It's it's
instance insane, it really is. So yeah, DHS says, we'll
not comply. So what are you gonna do, Gavin? What
are you gonna do when there's an ice officer on
the streets of La or any other city in California
(11:47):
massed up? What are you gonna do? Well?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I will give Gavin new some credit because we had
written him off for dead politically, yeah, just a few
months ago, and he has framed himself confidently, you know,
over time and now is there any other Democrat leader
than anyone's listening to behind besides Newsom?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
He's he's getting all the all the attention right now. Yeah, Yeah,
that's what all this is about. This is this is
Gavin Newsom twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
And part of that is and I'm not sure she's
making any inroads, but he knows Kamala Harris is out
there right now promoting a book. He wants to make
sure no one's paying attention to her. Sure this isn't
just about Trump. This is about his own party. Oh yeah,
this is about his play.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And I don't know what the How much longer is
he a for re election for governor before twenty twenty eight?
I guess he is right. I don't know when that'll
be now with his shenanigans, I'm not sure that California
photos is gonna say yeah, we want another whatever. The
amount of time is that Gavin Newsom or not, But
I suppose time will tell Yeah, he can't run. Oh
(13:01):
he's term limited. Okay, okay, so this is it for him.
So make all the noise you can right now. I
got it, I got it. So again, here here's an
instance of the Democrat Party failing uh to understand the
desires of their citizenry for basic law and order, which
(13:25):
is the number one, you know, the number one responsibility
of any government to keep the citizenr re safe. Well.
About a week or two ago, the Washington Post dropped
a poll finding that Republicans led Democrats on the economy
by seven percent, on immigration by thirteen percent, on crime
(13:49):
by twenty two percent. Sounds about ray, it does, doesn't it? So?
I mean it shouldn't be that way.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Numbers shouldn't be skewed that heavily from one party to
another on the issue of crime. Something we shook us
on that we should all agree with each other on crime.
It shouldn't happen. We should fight it with everything we
have in our arsenal. And yet Democrats have gone the
wrong way on crime.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They have You look back to twenty twenty two when
it came to the topic the issue of crime. Republicans,
well that this twenty two percent lead they have right
now was twelve percent. They've always been seen as the
party to be tougher on crime, but that number over
(14:43):
the last three years has gone up by ten percentage points,
from twelve to twenty two percent. And you don't have
to look forward to understand why can you make the
case that the crime right now is that much worse
it was in twenty twenty two. Well, it may be,
(15:05):
but two things. The Republicans emphasis on fighting crime and
the democrats apparent emphasis on not fighting crime is led
to this perception shift. You're right, that should be an
issue that both parties pull somewhat equally on. They'll never
(15:28):
be equal on it, but I mean, twenty two percent
more people favor the Republicans on that issue than the
Democrat Party. That's just well, you get what you pay for, right,
And after a disastrous election back in November for the
(15:48):
Democrat Party and all the soul searching and all what
do we get wrong? And what are we gonna do
to fix this, that they're still going to that same path.
They just don't get it or are they just listening
to the fringe of their of their party and they're
afraid of those people for some reason. I don't know. Again, Pauling,
(16:12):
we've seen you know, more Democrats than than than than not. Well,
whose policies do they like? They like the policies of
AOC more than anybody else AOC, Bernie Sanders and Dad Elk,
So I guess it's no great surprise here, right, Wow, Okay,
(16:36):
the midterms will be here a little over a year.
Gonna be interesting. If these numbers don't change, that's a
party in big trouble, no matter what else is going on.
That's a party in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
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, and it is.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Sixteen minutes after seven o'clock. Good morning for Tuesday, September
the twenty third. Now we have we've got to talk
about this. We let off the program of the six
o'clock hour by mentioning some of the details here that
(17:24):
I mean, not much shocks us anymore, but this does. Now,
before we start to talk about this, I want to
implore you if you have if you're in the car
right now and you've got youngsters with you. As much
(17:45):
as I hate to say this, I don't want you
to listen for about the next five or six minutes
because they don't need to hear this. Okay, So again,
if if you're in the car at home and listen
(18:05):
to us in the radio, the app or whatever, just
just just turn it down for the next couple of
minutes because you don't have to explain this to your kid.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I'm not sure I want to hear it, right And yeah,
and if and maybe you don't as an adult, you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Maybe you don't want to hear this. I get it.
But considering who this individual is in the position they held,
we got to talk about it. So okay, here we go,
all right, We found out last week that we had
(18:43):
a magistrate judge in the Low Country, James Gosnell or
arrested for having child porn on a flash drive. Right,
it's a flash drive, yes, and that in and of
(19:04):
itself should be shocking enough, but unfortunately it seems to
becoming way too common. We had no idea how bad.
At least according to the Feds. This is so Gosnell,
who was jailed about a week ago, I guess it was,
(19:25):
was supposed to have an attention hearing yesterday, but he
waived his right to that after new allegations were revealed
by federal prosecutors. And they are beyond shocking. They are sickening.
I don't know if I can find a strong enough
word to describe this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And this is something they just discovered. Did they know
this before they busted in on him?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I don't know. I don't have an answer for that, Okay,
thinking they probably did. If that's the case, why they
didn't lay this out originally. But let's get to it
all right, Posting Courier reporting that Gosnell, who was expected
(20:17):
to be charged with first degree criminal sexual conduct with
a minor, now they say, according to these newly released
documents he's accused of sexually abusing children in his West
Ashley neighborhood. It's a magistrate judge now sexually abusing children
(20:40):
in his West Ashley neighborhood. So we've gone from viewing
and sharing and buying child pornography to actually engaging in
sexually abusing children in his own neighborhood. But it gets worse.
(21:02):
These documents also reveal that Gosnell was planning to travel
to Florida to molest and allegedly kill an infant with
another man. Uh do we know who the other man is?
(21:33):
I don't have a name, or do the Feds. I'm
going to guess they do, oh as ah. On telegram messages,
(21:58):
there are numerous instances in which he claims he raped
and abused children, citing alleged female victims who were only
three months old and five months old at the time.
Guys No claims to have sexually assaulted them. According to
(22:19):
the filing, one alleged victim was only two weeks old.
And how did he get access? That was to say
the same thing?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Is he the neighborhood babysitter? How did I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
One leaves two month and three month old babies.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
With a sixty something year old guy, right, unless he's
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Dad or granddad.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Maybe this talk of international travel to again engage in
sex with children, that's a recurring theme, yeah, isn't it? Though,
late summer twenty twenty five he traveled alone to Amsterdam,
(23:07):
they think for that purpose. They also claim he had
been leading online chats to teach other pedophiles the tricks
of the trade wow, and to suggest that his knowledge
of the criminal justice system could aid him in fleeing
and evading accountability for alleged crimes. Were he allowed out
of prison? Okay, no bail for this guy. Obviously, in
(23:38):
all our years, we've never had a story like this. Again,
this has gone from a guy who purchased and viewed
child porn to a guy who the FED say was
sexually abusing infants in his own neighborhood and internationally planning
(24:05):
a trip to molest and kill an infant along with
another man. And this guy has been holding court in
the Charleston area for years as a magistrate judge. I'm
(24:33):
gonna lost for words here, man. How pervasive is this
kind of insanity among our leaders? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I mean because this is two major stories now involving
people who were in positions of power in this state locally,
not statewide, but still.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, okay, so this is again the detail. Again, I
have no words, and I don't know in most of
the mainstream media how they'll how much of this they'll report.
It's it's it's hard to talk about this. And uh,
(25:20):
you know, if if if we have upset you by
relaying these details this morning, that I'm sorry, we all
need to be upset. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
On the air, on the on the job check in
while you work for the very latest.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I one old.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Three point five FM, MAN five sixty AM Double 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 1 (25:56):
Seven forty one. By the way, in case you missed
it earlier, we were mentioning that their Proper of Public
Safety has to put out their final numbers on their
five day operation keep Us Safe. This is this is
the in response to this is this rash of of
troopers on the side of the road being being hit
in the one instances, one instance that is one trooper
(26:20):
died here in just the last a month as a result.
So a five day blitz writing citations for people who
were failing to to to move over when they passed
a law enforcement vehicle on the side of the road.
(26:42):
In five days, two eighty three citations. It's an average
of four hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
A day at a time when all we should all
be aware, even more aware than usual.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Uh huh. The law has been on the books now
for a while, to move over law. And while they
were at it, they also wrote quite a number of
citations for drivers who had their cell phone in their hands.
Remember that's the law too.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Now, Now that how big a part does that play?
The fact that we're distracted drivers and we're not even
paying attention to the siren that's behind us, or the
policeman pulled over on the side of the road ahead
of us, right right, or or anybody else around us.
Yeah right now, that right now, it's just a warning.
(27:41):
But come March next year, you will you will get
a ticket and a fine for operating with a cell
phone in your hand. And I got to I gotta
be honest.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean, for a lot of folks and I'm I'm
I'm including myself here. That's that's a hard habit to break.
Don't look at me like you've never done it before.
Come on, all right, So the indefinite suspension didn't last
very long, did it. Jimmy Kimmel Live. We back on
ABC tonight, at least on the network and on most
(28:13):
of their stations, but not Sinclair owned stations. Now, for
the record, the ABC affiliate here is not owned by
Sinclair Broadcasting, but in those markets where Sinclair does own
the ABC will feel the affiliate. It doesn't. Yeah, the
ABC affiliate, they will not be airing kim Alive. And
(28:34):
I don't know how long that's going to last. They'll
put on news programming, they say instead. But yeah, this
didn't take long, did it.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
And there are reports that ABC is trying to re
up with him, you know, which I'm not. I'm not
sure I even understand that relationship, because the reports last
week were that Kimmel, you know, was turning his back
on ABC forever because they turned their back on him.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And now.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
My question is, all right, what what happens tonight is
he does ABC lean into it and say have at it?
You can make fun of us. You can make fun
of Trump, you can make fun of Charlie Kirk, you
can do whatever you want. Or does he come back
contrite restricted, Well, we're only going to talk about politics
(29:23):
for a little while tonight, you know, and the rest
of my monologue is going to be funny.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
What happens? Well, see, I'm thinking again, if you if
you're ABC, this is this is who you got. Okay, Now,
Kimmel wasn't always this way, at least on the air. No.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I used to watch The Man Show. I mean, he
was pretty hilarious, little body but funny, but it was
The Man Show, of course his body.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and even when he first took over this slot,
it wasn't well yeah, I mean, politics would creep into it,
but it's not like it's become.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
So.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I mean, ABC, you know what you got on your hands,
and you're asking a tiger to change the stripes. Now,
maybe he can. He's done in the past. Well again,
as we documented last week when all this first came down,
he's lost a vast majority of his audience. Well, of course,
of the last number of years. Maybe they sat down
(30:27):
and looked and crunched some numbers and said, hey, Jimmy,
this ain't working, And maybe he agreed, but I kind
of doubt it.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Well, I mean, you're going to lean into it at
this point and you're gonna get whatever ratings because everybody's
going to be tuned into night. Oh yeah, oh sure,
just to see what he says. I mean, you'll get
the most attention with Tonight's show that you ever will.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
M Yeah, but I just.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Wonder, I mean, is ABC willing to be the punching
bag tonight? Will they take it? Or have they said
lay off us? But you can say whatever you want
about you know, everybody else.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Well. Their statement a from Disney issued yesterday. Last Wednesday,
we made the decision to suspend production on the show
to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional
moment for our country. It's a decision we made because
we felt some of the comments were ill timed and
thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful
(31:27):
conversations with Jimmy, and after those we've reached the decision.
We turned the show on Tuesday. That was the statement.
So nothing critical of him, just insensitive comments at an
ill timed time.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I guess and didn't even accuse him of making those statements.
It was almost as if they were saying, you know,
in general, there have been a lot, there's been a
lot of talk, and we're trying to calm things down.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, I think, and maybe it won't be tonight or
even this week, but I don't see Jimmy Kimmel changing
his ways.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Well that's yeah, Ultimately it's a business decision. Let's see
what the ratings look like. Let's see how first, let's
see how the advertisers would they decide to stick with
him or bail out.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, they'll have the final world on this, won't they.
And I'll be curious to see how long the Sinclair owns.
I think it's thirty some odd thirty three something like that.
ABC affiliates across the country are owned by Sinclair, who
at least for now, says they're not going to put
him back on the air. Well, that's that's a big chunk.
Yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You're listening to Columbia's Morning News on one oh three
point five FM and five sixty am WVOC. Once again,
here's Gary David and Christopher Thompson.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It is fifteen after eight. Good morning for Tuesday, September
twenty third. We appreciate your patron in this morning. I'm
Gary David. He is Christopher Thompson, and uh Gabrielle is
going to stay way out in the Atlantic. That is
good news. Category four hurricane. We'll stay east of Bermuda.
So gosh, we've only had two named hurricanes in the
(33:08):
Atlantic so far this season. But but yeah, but I
remember last year Helene was late September. Then we had
another one about a week or two later. So yeah,
we're far the way now. There are two other systems
out there. You called them waves or waves.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I like it. Let's go a wave that sounds non threatening.
I like that word.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
They both have a chance to develop into a tropical system.
But it looks like, well, the first one back there,
with an eighty percent chance of becoming a depression, is
going to stay probably take the same track that that
that this one is escape roil and just stay to
the east of Bermuda. The second one, well, they think
(33:55):
it'll probably make a normally turn too, but it may
kind of brush the east coast, but no direct landfalls.
That's that's what they're thinking is right now. So yeah,
it's been a been a quiet hurricane season. Let's let's
hope it stays that way.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
All these words depression, it's disturbance.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
It's depressing, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, And the disturbance is the other one they used it.
Of course, it's disturbing if it's coming my way, it
is and depressing.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
True. Supposed to just stick with Wave for now. Yesterday,
we share the results of a poll from an outfit
I'd never heard of before, co Efficient, who dropped an
independent poll of one thousand ninety four likely Republican primary
voters across the state. The winner in this poll, by
(34:42):
the way, undecided. Who's running a heck of a campaign,
I should say, undecided at thirty five percent. Now, well
it's early. It's still with Garrier. I mean, come on, yeah, matter.
I would would say that, you know, you're your average
voter in our state right now, You're an average voter. They well,
(35:08):
and we saw as the result of this poll the
only person they may even know who's running of this
race is a Pamelaviott because she's the only one who
has run advertising so far. So the Lieutenant governor went
from you know, mired in single or low single digits
to the second spot in this poll that was the
big news yesterday said if the election were today, nineteen
(35:32):
percent woul vote for Nancy Mace, eighteen percent for Pamela Abbott,
and sixteen percent for Alan Wilson. If you're curious, Ralph
Norman was at ten percent. Josh Kimberrel, Yeah, who right?
Two percent? So this is really still I think a
name recognition poll Nancy Mace. Of course we do this
(35:53):
going in before she ever announced. I mean, when it
came to name recognition, well, she has a way of
getting her name out there. Pamela Avitt. Who's that woman
standing behind the shoulder of the governor at every appearance, Yeah,
that's the lieutenant governor, Pamela Abott And a lot of
folks probably even know her name. So, but she spent
a lot of money, and this money spent has been
(36:16):
well twofold. As we talked about yesterday. Number one to
tire her to Trump, because her ad is probably more
Trump that is Abott. But number two, just important is
to get people to know who she is.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Do you think every other candidate's gonna leave Trump out
of their ads?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
You know, I'm thinking they'll probably work them in as
best as they can yes, I think so, yeah, yeah,
but a little more detail on this. This morning, the
Paul also showed this, thirty six percent of people responding
had a favorable opinion of Mace. Evia had a twenty
nine percent favorable Mace still had twenty six percent unfavorable opinion,
(36:59):
whereas it had a six percent unfavorable opinion. Thirty four
percent had a favorable view of Alan Wilson. Just ten
percent reported unfavorable opinions. Okay, now, as the poll points
out that disparity and unfavorable opinions could be again partially
(37:19):
due to name recognition. So here's here was my point.
When it came to have you have you never heard
of Nancy Mace, only six percent said they'd never heard
of her. Thirty one percent said they had never heard
of Pamela Abbott. She's our lieutenant governor, for crying out loud,
(37:44):
but that's what the lieutenant governor position is in the
state pretty much, you know, non existent. You can't see me.
So thirty one percent had never heard of Pamela Abbott,
twenty six percent had never heard of Ralph Norman, twenty
two percent had never heard of Alan Wilson. He's been
Attorney general like you know, half his life, it seems,
(38:09):
and you know, nearly one out of four, just over
one out of five, had no idea who Alan Wilson was,
needless to say, about half said they'd never heard of
Senator Josh Kimberl. So this is again, this is my point,
(38:30):
you know, low informed voters. I find it just bizarre
that in the state that you lieutenant governor, one out
of four people had no idea who she was. And
this poll, by the way, maybe is the advertising word
(38:53):
obviously it is. I mean, she's bopped, she's popped up
in the rankings, but it was taken last week. Her
campaign had been on the air with ads now for
several weeks at that point. But still one out of
four had never heard of her before, and that one
out of five had never heard of the attorney general.
(39:14):
I find that staggering. Actually a couple other little tidbits here, taxing, spending,
inflation topping the list of the most important things to
us taxes, spending, in inflation as one about fifteen percent. Now, remember,
(39:38):
if you're going to run as a Republican in this primary,
you're going to have to run on a promise to
get rid of state income taxes, and they all are
the legislature with our appetite this past session with that.
But is this poll at all accurate? Yeah, I was
(39:58):
talking about what's the margin of air? Three point one
seven percent? Okay, that's that's that's about right. But over
half the respondents were over the age of sixty five,
ninety four percent were white. Thirty four percent of them
came out of the Greenville market. Okay, it's pretty small
(40:21):
sample size all in all, even though thirty four percent
came out of the Greenville market, still you had twenty
six percent who didn't know who Ralph Norman was. He's
your congressman. Hello. And about a third who responded had
a household income of between one one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Now, you might could say, well, you know what,
(40:43):
that's somewhat representative of the Republican samples. But still a
third have an income over one hundred thousand dollars between
one hundred and fifty a third were in Greenville area,
and more than half we're over the age of sixty five. Yeah,
(41:08):
I'm gonna have to drop a flag on this pole.
That doesn't seem bright to me, but what do I know.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Traffic and weather when you needed most every ten minutes mornings.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Because I need to know what I'm gonna wear in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
On one O three point five FM and 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 1 (41:40):
Yeah, it's time for our final thoughts here for Tuesday,
September twenty third is eight forty one. Now here things
are We pretty much touched everything here Again, I'm not
gonna repeat it right now, but this this, this, the
new details acording to the federal allegations against this Low
Country magic former Low Country magistrate to Gosnell are beyond
(42:04):
troubling if you and this is not being reported widely,
not yet at least, and the depth of the detail
that the Post and Curry went into, there could be
some mediatlysts that just not gonna want to repeat some
of that stuff. I'll tell you all right.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Question, Yes, as we spend further, we know that our
Jmay is trying to get his own accusations of child
abuse or child sexual material move to a different venue.
He says he can't get a fair trial here. That
story is now going to resonate throughout the Low Country.
(42:44):
So if you're our Jmay, you're running out of places
in the state to take your trial where people aren't
going to be talking about state officials being accused of
at least having child sexual abuse material, if not more.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
You know, let's put it this way, if you just
look at the political ideology of the state, you want
to go to the upstate with that. If you're worried
about how conservatives are going to act, and you being
you know, a conservative or e County, uh, Midlands is out,
Low Cutter is going to be out.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Yeah, and every time you hear about this magistrate in
the Low Country now it's going to be those two
stories are going to be tied together.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah. But if you've missed all
those details, the podcast is going to be up here
just after nine o'clock on the iHeartRadio app that we
did that We talked about that in the seven the
bottom around seven fifteen or so, I guess I will yeh.
So if you want to fast forward through it to
get to that for the stunning I mean, just the
(43:50):
stunning accusations against this judge'll it'll it'll turn your stomach,
all right. A lot being said today, and Trump alluded
to this when he gave his his his speech at
the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday. The announcement yesterday that
(44:11):
don't take time at all if you're pregnant. There have
been studies that have raised a possibility that a set
of metaphine during pregnancy might increase the risk of autism.
But there are plenty of other studies that find that
find that that's not a concern. This is gonna be
(44:33):
talked about for a while. And I don't you know,
I'm my wife, wis she was pregnant. She wouldn't take anything,
I mean nothing, which you know, again, if you can
do that, it's probably the best course of action anyway. Right, Sure,
But this is something that they've apparently been studying for
decades and there's not been at least as far as
(44:54):
the medical community is concerned. They haven't been able to
agree on whether there's a link or not. But Trump
rolled that out yesterday regardless, and that's causing some angst.
Needless to say, he also signed an executive varder yesterday
to designate to ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization. Well
here here to that. Now, I don't know what goodness does. Again,
(45:16):
it's not an organization and of itself with leadership and
all this, But still it doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt. Allegations
that Tom Holman, you know the Borders are, was bribed
or took a fifty thousand dollars bribe, the White House
(45:38):
shutting down those allegations yesterday. The allegations were that Holman
had accepted a cash bribe from the FBI under the
Biden administration, that they have recorded him taking fifty k
from undercover agents posing his business executives. In exchange for
(45:58):
the cash, he allegedly agreed to help them obtain government
contracts once he secured a role in Trump administration. The
White House says none of this is true, it's blatantly political,
and that the the FBI, this FBI had found no
evidence of illegal activity. That you had FBI agents under
(46:24):
Biden's regime trying to entrap one of the President's top
allies and supporters. Okay, warnings from new UN Ambassador Mike Waltz.
Trump will be speaking at the und today that ought
to be good. Walt's warning yesterday that the US and
our allies in NATO will defend every inch of NATO territory.
(46:45):
This after Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace. I'm gonna
tell you, Vladimir Putin is he's testing. He's he's pushing
the envelope. Now, he's seeing exactly how far he can go.
And you know, I'm no Lindsey Graham here, Okay, all right,
I'm no warhawk. But at some point in time, unless
(47:08):
there's if there's not pushback from somebody in some way,
shape or form other than hey, don't do that, then
he's going to keep pushing it. That's my opinion. At
some point, I mean Article five is gonna have to
be invoked. Here it was Poland, now it's Estonia. Both
(47:33):
the UK and the polls bowing to confront any Russian
aircraft wouity in the airspace. That's what it's going to take.
We mentioned yesterday a suspected cyber attack affecting a number
of international airports over the weekend. Could this be a
test for something bigger? That's the big question. There are
(47:58):
those experts who say that as probably was. They call
it a tester, I would probably agree with him closing
arguments in just a few minutes. In Fort Pierce, Florida,
where Ryan Ruth has been on TROLI, he rested his
(48:19):
case yesterday. I remember he's acting as his own defense attorney.
This is the guy who didn't take shots at Trump,
but sure planned to on the golf course. And if
you follow any of this, I mean, the dude has
put on a very weird defense. But well, what do
you expect? What do you expect? He has a nutcase. Anyway,
(48:39):
I'm thinking his whole deal here is to try to
convince people he's crazy and whatever. Oklahoma, where a bill
was introduced by two Republican state senators that would require
all public colleges and universities in the state to build
a Charlie Kirk Memorial plaza. If they didn't, they would
(49:00):
be fined. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm not going there. No,
that's no huh no, No, you don't make that something
like that mandatory. No you don't. The Kamala Harris book
comes out today.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
Ah, yes, I've seen some snippets of her and Rachel
Mattow last night. Yeah, I missed that, not much to see,
wouldn't think so. A couple of words salads. Well, if
you expect that, I mean, you'd be have been disappointed.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
They're not been right.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
I mean, she's she's definitely turning on Biden.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
Oh yeah now uh. Number of Democrats are not happy,
saying this is causing divisions of the worst possible time
for the for the for the party. You think, yeah,
oh that shrimp recalls expanded. Now some shrimp sold in
our state even radioactive. They say, Okay, maybe just just
(49:55):
don't buy the frozen shrimp for now, all right, unless
you want to glow, extra spicy, extra spicy,
