It is three minutes after six, and welcome in South
Carolina's morning news back on the radio in ninety four
three WSC and one of three point five and five
sixty a m w VOC. Busy weekend. Well, college football
is over as far as that's but man, we're we're lessen.
We're less than three weeks away from Christmas. Now you've
got to get stuff done, right, You at least got

(01:05):
to sit down on the couch and grab the laptop
and hop on Amazon or something.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
Like that, right at least all right, Well, if you're
a college football fan, there's plenty today and tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well I'm talking about for local teams. Yeah, well not
for like well Newberries. Yeah, hey, look out for the
for the wall, the Wolves, I almost call them the Indians.
We can't say that anymore. Yeah, but yeah, Carolina Clemson,
well Clemson will play another game. But any who, it's
time to get things done here, get moving. Yeah, and

(01:35):
a nasty day across the state today. Highs in the midlands,
munk it out of the forties. Doesn't look like low country,
you know, a little mid fifties and rain. But that's
it though, Nothing other than rain to deal with today,
So we take it as we get it, and we
don't want any of that frozen stuff around here, certainly.
All Right, h News this morning, we're keeping an eye on.

(01:56):
We got lots of stuff to get to get into.
Are the big stories here on this Friday, December fifth, Well,
here in the state, Nancy Masis really want to get
the message out that she's not planning to retire from Congress.
She held a zoom call with a bunch of reporters
yesterday to reiterate that she has no plans of leaving early. Now.

(02:16):
There are reports fits News reporting that any day now,
based on a Foyer requests submitted by Mace's office, that
officials at the Charleston Airport again to release a number
one of their official response, and apparently the release includes

(02:37):
numerous video files which we've seen police cam footage, but
also audio files from that encounter of the airport, so
that that could get a little more interesting here. Well,
I don't know if that will come out today, That
response is any day now. From what we're told by

(02:58):
accounts here, I don't think it is going to be
a big shock. She uses nasty language, that's no surprise,
No it's not. But actually here it directed at the
people that was directed at at that time.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, maybe a little more damaging there.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Meantime, she has done something of some
note upon Capitol Hill, introducing a bill that would require
you present an I D. You have an idea for
first snap benefits. We're trying to clean up the fraud,
the abuse, the waste, and why not why not? We'll
see how that how that that idea floats and fares

(03:32):
up on Capitol Hill? All right. The big story coming
out of yesterday was that the FBI under Trump has
arrested the j six pipe bomb suspect. Remember a case
that basically went cold under the Biden administration and the
Biden FBI, And they have made this arrest, not based
on well new evidence or new tips, but under information

(03:56):
that was sitting right there in front of the FBI
the whole stinking time. You know, Jake Tapper over on
CNN yesterday right there, referred to the J six bomber
pipe bomber as a white guy. He was not a
white guy. I don't know where Jake was getting his news,

(04:20):
but it occurs to me that maybe this is why
under the Biden administration this case went cold, because did
somebody maybe know that it didn't fit the narrative the
mag of profile. Uh huh, Yeah, it did not fit
the narrative. All right, we got details on that. To
talk about the Navy admiral who Pete Hegzeth said ordered

(04:40):
that second strike on that Narco boat in September down
to the Caribbean, testifying in front of Congress yesterday saying
that what took place that second strike was lawful and
it was needful. We'll have details on what Admiral Frank
Mitch Bradley told Congress yesterday, saying there was no kill
all order in that attack. Meantime, those attacks continue. That's

(05:04):
twenty second deadly Bolke strike has taken place yesterday, this
one killing four suspected Narco terrorists, and shrey Or shri Thandandar,
the Michigan Democrat, announcing he will follow articles of impeachment
against Hagsath over all this If you know anything about
this particular congressman, this is basically all he does is

(05:25):
follow articles of impeachment. He's done it against Trump a
couple of times on a couple of different occasions, and
they never go anywhere. Democrats, Do they really want to
solve this Obamacare issue before the year ends? Chuck Schumer
announcing yesterday, as we told you that they were talking
about a three year extension on these benefits, putting them

(05:48):
in line with a Hakeem Jeffrey's ideas in the House,
they would put the benefits, yes, going away during the
presidential election cycle of twenty twenty eight. This is where
they're taking their position here. Do they really want to
solve this? Are they really just trying to hurt the
Republicans at your expense? We'll get into that more coming

(06:10):
up on this. It is the Friday morning, December fifth
edition of South Carolina's Morning News. That's great to have
you with.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You're listening to South Carolina's Morning Yous with Gary David
at Christopher.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Thompson twenty two the time now and Good Morning, South
Carolina's morning news on one of three point five FM
and five sixty AMWVOC in ninety four to three WSC. So,
what's a sort of or maybe maybe has your faith
been restored in the Federal Bureau of Investigation after the
news yesterday that finally, after what five years, a suspect

(06:53):
has been arrested in the j six pipe bomb incident.
Those bombs didn't go off, didn't nobody was hurt, but
by people could have been the pipe bombs that were
placed outside the RNC and DNC headquarters. And if I
recall correctly at the time, wasn't Kamala Harris somewhere in

(07:13):
the vicinity of the DNC headquarters when right about that
same time. I may be fault in my recollection of that,
but still so, this case under the Biden administration and
Christopher Ray's FBI went unsolved. I don't know how much

(07:33):
work they actually put into it. This was when the
Trump administration took over the reins. This was one of
their the FBI's things they wanted to get done here
was solve this case. They put a lot of work
into it, and then to discover that all the evidence
that they needed to make an arrest had been sitting
there all along.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Just put in a little additional shoe leather, Yeah, studying
what they had.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, it was right there. I mean, we're told the
FBI tells us that they have they've got evidence this
guy was searching online for information about you know, building
a pipe bomb, the explosive needed, so on and so forth.
The there was all sorts of evidence. Apparently they had

(08:21):
been just sitting there. It was either ignored or missed
by Christopher Ray's FBI. And I do I really have
to wonder if if it and I hope this was
not the case, that this suspect did not fit the

(08:45):
narrative the Biden administration wanted to if they wanted to
if the ivader us say, they wanted to be sure
it was you know, a maga nut job, right that
was there in cahoots with the crowds that showed up
that the Capitol on January sixth. They wanted to be
sure it fit that bill. Well, this did not. The

(09:06):
alleged pipe bomber, a thirty year old black man Brian
Cole Junior works in the office of a bail bondsman.
Interestingly enough, so at the time he was twenty five
years old. Now, what was the motivation We don't know
at this point in time, but almost we not almost,

(09:27):
I think as big a part of this story is
that there's been an arrest made, is the fact that
why wasn't there an arrest made in the prior five years,
specifically the four years under the Biden administration? Is it
because it did not fit the narrative? Well, needless to say,
the Trump administration is not letting go you know of

(09:49):
quote unquote good crisis go to waste. Here they are
blasting the former administration over their lack of getting this done.
This was no new tip. Yeah, just like you mentioned,
mister Thompson, it was just good old you know, shoe leather.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yeah. Pam Bondi says it was just good police work
at this point. So what does that tell you about
where the FBI was? And does this, you know, renew
your faith in that in that institution And what's weird?
What's weirdest? Democrats like Senator Mark Warner attacked the FBI
after the news came out. He said, well, it's it's
great that there was an arrest made, but why couldn't

(10:26):
it have been done sooner? But because the FBI has
been diverted to all these and he points out, you know,
the immigration and et cetera, he thinks the FBI should
have been more focused on this case earlier. I guess
he forgot, like you said, the Biden administration, FBI had

(10:47):
it for a while.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah, well four years. They had it for four years.
But that's that's selective memory, I guess on the part
of Borner. It is twenty seven minutes after the hour.
We had a lot of big news to talk about today,
and uh, I'm just looking over the list here. I'm
not sure we'll get to all of them, but we're
gonna try our dog one best here on a Friday morning.

(11:08):
We appreciate you joining us for South Carolina's morning.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
News, your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is
South Carolina's Morning News on one O three point five FM,
five sixty AM WVOC, and ninety four to three WSC

(11:32):
NOW Gary David and Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
It's six thirty five more on this pipe bom suspect
here thirty year old man Brian Cole Junior of Virginia,
lives with his mom. Apparently low key guy. Nobody would
have thought it. Jeanine Piro last night telling Laura Ingram that, Yeah,

(12:04):
not the kind of guy you'd have thought about when
it comes to something.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Like this, which makes a case like this even harder
to crack.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Sure, yeah, lives in Virginia with his mom. We mentioned
he works at a bail bondsman's office, so he was
always wearing headphones walking the dog into seven eleven. A
quiet individual you'd never imagine have done this. But he
is the suspect and playing those two pipe bombs. So

(12:31):
the evidence again, as Pambondi told us yesterday, there was
no new evidence here. This was just old evidence sitting
around collecting dust. The court papers that were un sealed
yesterday showing bank records that showed purchases of pipe bond material,

(12:53):
cell phone tower data identifying the guys. I mean, it
wasn't very good at covering his track, not at all, right,
not at all, and it was all sitting there all along.
Now I realize, you know, you start off and you've
got a sea of potential individuals who could have, you know,

(13:16):
allegedly done this. But I mean, my goodness, you start,
you start kind of you know, narrowing it down a
little bit, and he said, Okay, let's see, do we
have anybody who shows a record of of of of
purchases that you could be used to make a pipe bomb? Okay,
they have not throw them out, so you know that

(13:39):
that would be step number one. We got a record
of this guy buying this material. Well, let's look at
his cell phone records. Okay, oh yeah, look this cell
phone was pinging by both locations that same night. How
I mean, how many people fit that bill just those
two things right there? Yeah, we had been hold that.

(14:00):
You know, a lot of the uh somewhat forensic analysis
that was used was the gate, the way the guy walked,
you know, and there was plenty of video of this individual. Now,
of course face was covered and everything else. You couldn't
tell who it was, but there was lots of video
out there on this. Uh, you know, the more you

(14:26):
think about it, it I had no other explanation why
this went unsolved under four years of the Biden FBI
other than the fact that they didn't want to solve it.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Just look the other way.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Maybe they felt it was rather than take the chance
of finding out that it was somebody who didn't fit
the bill, the narrative, rather than do that, just let
it fester. Let's stay out there and let people assume
that it was somebody who hit the narrative. This guy
certainly didn't. I know of no other explanation, and I

(15:05):
know I'm simplifying it here a little bit, but still
it just doesn't doesn't make sense to me at all
why this couldn't have been done a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
This is South Carolina's morning news on one O three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and
ninety four to three WSC Charleston. Now Gary David and
Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
It's six forty three, going to have you along on Friday,
December the fifth time. Gary David, he is Christopher Thompson,
and Nancy Mace is working overtime to trying to dispel
this notion that she's going to retire early from Congress. Now,
after this story first broke, this was in a New
York Times article, and it wasn't a story. The story
wasn't about Nancy May specifically a story about the female

(16:04):
Republicans in Congress that were unhappy with Mike Johnson for
a variety of reasons.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
And apparently there was a conversation overheard on the floor
featuring Mace. Yeah, and she, according to The Times, had
floated the idea of considering retirement.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Right, and that was pretty much the whole time story
when it came to Nancy Mace, what anything else in
there about just to sources. Sources say, so she hit
back right away, she and her team did. She's specifically
on social media dispelling that story. And then yesterday she

(16:42):
had a zoom call with reporters to again double down,
saying that she is not contemplating, considering, or even thinking
about or even dreaming about leaving Congress early.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Now, the whole issue regarded or revolved around Marjorie Taylor Green,
who did just retire. Yeah, of course, broke with Maga,
broke with Donald Trump famously and then stepped away. May
says she simply wanted to pick Marjorie Taylor's Green Green's brain.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Yeah, like like the way she went about, you know,
the PERF process and bringing bills to the floor and
so on and so forth. So that's that's that's the word.
So you again, Mace scheduling the zoom call with a
bunch of reporters yesterday to reiterate she is not considering
doing this, which, as we talked about yesterday, if she were, uh,

(17:31):
this would be a guess, at least in my opinion,
a total disaster in her run for governor. Nobody wants
to hire a quitter. It's pretty simple. You're right, she did.
She did confirm on that call that she had taught
wants to talk to Marjorie Taylor Green, but not about leaving,
but about it. She said she was a brilliant, very

(17:54):
effective in getting bills to the floor that she had
been drafting. Okay, there's that now. Uh, there's a published
report in Fitz News that more information may be forthcoming
from the airport meltdown. I'm back. It was mid October later,

(18:15):
I think says before Halloween. I think as I recall, yeah,
and could that be damaging to Mace. We'll take a
look at what they're saying, maybe in some new video
that we may be seeing sometime soon. That's all the
way for you. Six forty six and this is South
Carolina's morning.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
News, Your news, Traffic, weather and Information stations. This is
South Carolina's morning news on one O three point five FM,
five sixty AM WVOC and ninety four to three WSC

(18:54):
NOW Gary David and Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
It is six fifty two. Good morning, Thanks for joining
us again. I the name Nancy Masius keeps popping up
in the news cycle seemingly each and every day. I
will say this on the positive side. We mentioned this
so briefly earlier. Maces introduced to bill in Congress that
would require ID for snap benefits now here or here

(19:18):
to that? Why not?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah, I don't know why it didn't happen in the
first place.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Sorry, more than one hundred million dollars in stolen benefits
during just the first quarter of this year. Why not?
Why should this be controversial? Of course it is, but
good for her on that Now, going back to the
airport incident, remember she threatened to sue the airport and

(19:46):
even went as far as the saying that they were
targeting her, almost as though they were trying to set
her up for some kind of a disaster here and
in that process, which to my knowledge, a lawsuit has
never been filed. We've heard about that, but there was
a Foyer request. She wanted all the records everything the
airport had from that encounter back and it was October thirtieth,

(20:07):
by the way, Well supposedly this week. I don't feelk.
This week's almost over and it happens today or not,
or maybe next week. The airport's supposed to respond to that,
and sources telling FITZ News that airport officials are preparing
to release their official response to that Foyer request. The

(20:28):
release reportedly includes numerous video files which we've seen. I'm
not sure we'll see the new video files, but also
audio files as well as incident reports, including documentation of
previous alleged instnss of heated interactions involving the congresswoman.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
So this wasn't the first time.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Maybe not.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
So. I don't know when that drops, maybe today, maybe
next week, But when it does, there'll be more news
hitting the cycle about the the first District congresswoman. It's
six fifty four. Thanks for joining us. It is the
Friday morning edition of South Carolina's Morning News.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
You're listening to South Carolina's Morning News with Gary David
at Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
It is South Carolina's Morning News ninety four to three
WSC and one O three point five FM and five
sixty AMWVOC. Good morning to you. It's three minutes after
seven o'clock and we thank you for joining us here
on this. This is going to be a rainy Friday
morning across the state huh, low country through the Midlands,
but not cold enough for it to.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
Be anything but that, but some flooding issues along the coat.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Yes, we do have that to be contending with today certainly,
So y'all be careful out there as you make your
way in, and I guess it's going to be that
way pretty much most of the weekend around the state,
you know, off and on. Maybe not as much rain
as we are expecting to see today, of course, not
that goes.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Elect and what we get are two different things.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Yeah, we'll see what we get at all this big
stories today, well, yeah, the big story is the arrest
of a suspect and the j six pipe bomb incidents.
Those bombs never went off and they were placed outside
the RNC and DNC headquarters. And as we've been talking
about this morning, what took so long? Four years some
of the Bide administration they couldn't solve this case. Why

(22:26):
is there a reason for that. We'll be talking about
the testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday from Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley.
This on the that that boat strike, that second boat
strike that took out two survivors in the Caribbean, that
Narco boat back in September. What the admiral had to

(22:48):
say about that. We got more news on the economy
to pass along this morning good news. We got some
good news, yes, but we've got to pull out that
is not good news for the Trump administration if sit
accurate poll good news out of the Supreme Court, the
High Court, at least for now for this cycle, allowing
that Texas redraw to stand. And the Nancy Mays, as

(23:11):
we were just talking about in the last half hour,
is doubling down, calling a zoom call with members of
the media yesterday to say she is not planning to
retire from Congress. So that's a story that's set to
politician or politics here in South Carolina on it's here
for the last twenty four hours or SOO. Actually, anything
else to do with Nancy May seems to set things

(23:33):
on its ear out here these days. Yesterday, the Department
of Justice was not able to get a Virginia grand
jury to issue a new indictment against Letitia James. This
is one of the big concerns, and initially there were
some saying maybe you shouldn't try again because if you

(23:55):
can't get another indictment, But this was This was the
case where both Letitia James and James Comy indictments were
secured by the Department of Justice under Lindsay Halligan, who,
as you'll recall, is a former White House aid, the
Trump lawyer who has never prosecuted a case before, but
she was tabbed to prosecute these cases. Again. This is

(24:18):
one of these incidents where because Democrats in the Senate
keep stalling Trump nominations, you put in somebody temporarily. There
was a procedural ruling by a judge that said, well,
she wasn't there lawfully to bring this case to begin with,
that her interim tournament expired. I still contend, why did

(24:39):
you take somebody with no prosecutorial experience and assigned them
to this case, to such a high profile case. But
that's the way it came down. So the judge tossed
those indictments. Well, no word on a re indictment for
James Comy, but the DOJ attempted to get another indictment
against Letitia j James. Uh that that mortgage fraud case.

(25:04):
The grand jury yesterday refusing to reissue an indictment against James.
I kind of wonder why what changed in the minds
of the grand jury from originally issuing an indictment and
remember nothing the substance of the case didn't change that

(25:26):
that that that judge that that tossed those indictments out
didn't toss them out on the on the merits of
the case. It was on basically a procedural issue. I'm
just very curious as to why. And I assume this
was the same grand jury who originally indicted James this
time refused to.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
I don't know. I'm no lawyer. Now, I don't play
on the radio, but this is just kind of curious
to me to again, if that judge a week or
two back had said, yeah, on matters of substance, on
matters that are you know, Germans are the case itself,
I'm dismissing these indictments based on facts or what have you. Okay,

(26:18):
I get that, but those diamonds were tossed on the
technical issue. Why a different decision this time by the
grand jury.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
Well, the good news is you can't try a case again,
but you can present an indictment again, so they can
try again.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh, they can try again. Do you want to now?

Speaker 5 (26:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
I mean, that's just more egg on the face. Yeah.
As I say, in legal circles, you can indicet a
ham sandwich. So if you can indicet a ham sandwich,
but you can in diet letitia, James you got I
think you got a problem here. I don't know why
you'd want to go back and try a third time
and be rebuffed for a second time. And how this

(27:01):
affects a potential reindictment of James Comy remains to be seen,
but I guess we'll find that out here sooner rather
than later.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
This is South Carolina's morning news on one o three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and
ninety four to three WSC Charleston. Now Gary David and
Christopher Thomas.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Fourteen after seven o'clock. It is Friday, December the fifth.
Now we are told that there will be a vote
on the Senate floor next week on the extension of
the enhanced subsidies for Obamacare, which is, you know, expired
at the end of the year. Question this morning is now,
with just twenty six days left before these things expire,

(27:53):
are the Democrats really serious about trying to come up
with a solution. We back up a little bit, and
when we ended this shutdown, Chuck Schumer suggested before that
shutdown ended, that they come up with a with an
extension of one year of these enhanced subsidies. Hakim Jeffries,

(28:15):
the House Minority Leader, said, let's do three years instead.
Both of those proposals putting us into a situation where again,
these benefits would be expiring during an election cycle. For Schumer,
it was next year in the midterm cycle. For Jeffries,

(28:36):
it was three years from now, during the presidential cycle.
Are we sing Trent here? Now? There was a bipartisan
solution trying to get worked out, was known as the
Hope Act, which would have extended these benefits for two
years into a non election cycle. And it seemed from

(28:57):
what we were told, although we never actually saw the
Trump plan, but the White House's idea was the same thing,
extending these benefits for two years with minimum or with
maximum caps on income. Okay, well, yesterday Chuck Schumer went
along with the proposal of Voaqem Jeffreys. As we were

(29:22):
hearing they were going to Democrats put up a proposal
for a three year extension. So are they really serious
about trying to work together with Republicans to try to
avoid this disaster for some twenty five million Americans, folks
who may see their insurance premiums go from maybe two

(29:44):
or maybe three hundred dollars a month to over one
thousand dollars a month. Are the Democrats now again, do
they want this? Do they want these benefits to be extended?
Do they really want them to be extended? I mean,

(30:08):
we all know who's going to get the blame for
this thing if they don't. And I don't care if
if if they expire and come January, people are stroking,
you know, four digit checks for health insurance coverage and
then oh, by March Congress gets his ZAC together and
comes up with some sort of a solution for an extension.

(30:32):
Just even one month of having to do that is
going to stick in the memory banks of voters come
next November. I'm going to go out on a limb
here and make a prediction. It's just based on the
developments of yesterday. The Democrats don't want to solve it.
Right now, here's what that's going to happen. We're gonna

(30:52):
hit January one, the rates are going to jump, and
right after everybody makes that first payment, right, see what
Republicans have done to you, and then I tell you what. Okay, Well,
we'll work with them and we'll get something done. But
remember we're the knights and shining armor here, Okay, coming
in to save the day, coming into save the day.

(31:14):
We don't want you to have to go through this again.
And sometime before the end of next month, which remember
is also the time when we could actually have the
government shut down again.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
Yeah, we've only funded through the end of next month.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Yeah, the Democrats will come back in save the day,
agree with the Republicans on some sort of extension during
well knowing that just that one month, just that one payment,
is going to help their cost come to remember.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Well, you said the senate's getting ready to vote. I
mean you've still got the House. That's a whole nother issue.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Well, they're not even talking about it. Vote in the House.
I mean there's people trying to work out something here proposals,
but there's been no vote schedule in the House.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Side bigger group, much bigger, many more factions for Mike
Johnson to deal with.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, even if the Senate agreed to something,
that means nothing because the House is just a minefield
on this topic and a lot of other ones. So
that's my prediction.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Do you really think this body can get if it
does delay until next month, they can get that done
and the government funded in the same month.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, now that you bring that up, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
I mean we may be veering headlong into another government shutdown.
My will.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
From the Midlands to the low Country.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
This is South Carolina's morning News on one O three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
four to three WSC NOW Gary David and Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
The clock's approach is seven twenty five on a Friday morning.
Good to have you with us, good economic news. After
the President's announcement a couple of days back of rolling
back those ridiculous extreme cafe the requirements that we're heightening
under the Bide administration that the administration now says we'll
make cars more affordable. We'll save us more than one

(33:17):
hundred billion dollars. The markets responded, they liked that idea,
I would hope. So a couple of days back to
Dow was up what four hundred points or so. Remember
we went through that cycle again. We're oh, it's here
we go. It's going down, it's going down. When I
was bouncing back up again, A little profit taked yesterday,
but not much. Dow sits this morning at close to

(33:38):
forty eight thousand. It's crazy, man, I mean, can we
can we get to Dow fifty k? Can that actually happen?
The S and P was up yesterday. That's the one
that really matters to you. If you got a four
oh one K plan, that's the one that's mostly most
closely tied to Dow futures. All the future is rough
this morning. But again, while Wall Street humming along and

(34:06):
the bitcoins bouncing back to it sounds like here's this
new poll out from Politico that shows that, well, the
headline is this Trump's own voters begin blaming him for
affordability crisis. The message that this is all Joe Biden's
fault is no longer resonating. John Loftus, writing the Daily Caller,

(34:30):
we have more proof Trump isn't fixing inflation mess fast enough. Now,
for those of you listening to us in the Midlands
and you've heard us, we've been saying this since Trump
was elected. And for those of you on board now
in the low Country, thank you number one for joining us.
We appreciate that. It's good to be with you. When

(34:51):
Trump was elected back in November, you know, we pointed
out that people are going to have a short lot
of patience for this, they're gonna expect and part of
that was because Trump himself was saying it he would
turn this thing around on day one. Now we've gone
from inflation in the nines to inflation in the two's,
maybe the threes.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
That's a big deal. That's a huge deal.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
But there are still spots that are pain points for
you know, everyday Americans. I get it, but you don't
fix something. You don't fix a mess as big as
the mess Joe Biden left us in overnight, it just
does not happen.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Business is picking up, as you pointed out, are spending already.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Oh yeah, but this is Christmas season is off the chain.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Jobless numbers, they just came out what yesterday I think
lowest in three thanksgivings.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Hello. So there's plenty good news out there, but we
got to hang over when it comes to this thing.
And unfortunately, Yeah, the message which is true that that
Trump inherited Biden's mess. It was Biden's mess. But it's
is at least according to this new political poll, it's

(36:09):
it's just not resonating with this had message and they
break it down it includes some Republican voters as well.
Remember Rode Reagan's first year very unpopular when it came
to the economy, very unpopular. The boy did it work.
Don't forget the lesson.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Why? From the State Capitol.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
This is South Carolina's Morning News with Carrie David and
Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
It's seven thirty six the morning. Thanks for joining us
for South Carolina's Morning News. That is Friday, December the
fifth closed door classified briefing yesterday on Capitol Hill. The
guy doing all we're talking was Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley.
Is about that second strike of that Narco boat back
in September. Some of the details of well what this

(37:07):
was all about. From Fox's Bill Millusion.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
This morning at issue why a second strike was needed
to kill surviving drug traffickers after an initial bombing back
in September. The answers came straight from the source. Admiral
Mitch Bradley. He arrived on the Hill to brief lawmakers
in a secure setting and show them classified video of
that second strike. Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Rick Crawford, the chairman

(37:29):
of the House Intel Committee, released his own statement, which says,
in part quote, those who appear troubled by videos of
military strikes on designated terrorists have clearly never seen the
Obama ordered strikes.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
You I remember those, Oh the drone strikes?

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Yeah? Remember those? Sure, this is kind of you know
what we do.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
Yeah, we've declared a war on drugs. Well, what is it?
Rush Limbaugh always said, what do you do during war?
Kill people and you break things, Kill people and you
break things. Yep, And that's what we're doing. And these were,
again war drug terrorists.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
And this all started with his Washington Post story that
Pete Hegsath ordered this Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley to kill
them all. There's no audio of Hegsath ever, saying that
this is what a source told the Post. And in

(38:34):
what context was if this was said, was it said, Well,
we don't know. So the Admiral yesterday, testifying as he
had said previously in public, this was his call. Hegzeth
at that presser at the cabinet meeting the other day,
said he left the room after the first strike. He

(38:55):
wasn't there to see the second strike. And the admiral
saying that he saw two survivors trying to flip a
boat loaded with drugs, he ordered a second strike. That's
the first we've heard that. The narrative so far has
been that we went in, we took out this boat,

(39:16):
there are two survivors clinging to it, trying to stay alive,
and that we just went in and took them out
as well. But that's not the story of the admiral
tells I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat
loaded with drugs. So what's the real story here? Now,

(39:37):
you put a politician in front of a panel, some
committee upon Capitol Hill, you kind of wonder from time
to time, maybe all the time, Okay, are we really
getting the straight story here? You put an admiral up there,
a former Navy seal, and if I'm mistaken a guy

(40:02):
that actually has been involved in associated with, you know,
legal issues involving the military, you put him in that seat.
Do you think this guy's gonna stare you in the
eye and tell you a bold face line.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
He's going to tell the truth, brutal or otherwise.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Now, this is what military people do. They kill people
or they break things, and they typically don't lie about it.
So well, I'm sure more will leak out of what
was probably said. But the admiral saying that there was
no kill all order in the attack, he wasn't directed

(40:37):
to do that. He saw what he saw, and he
saw these guys trying to get the boat back up right,
flip it over and grab whatever narcotics they could floating
into the Caribbean and reload the boat. Quite a different
narrative than what we've been fed so far by the
mainstream media and all. This quite a different narrative.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
This is South Carolina's Morning News with Gary David and
Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
It's seven forty five. Well, the numbers show that ice
arrests here in our state more than doubled the number
of arrests last year. What to me should be to
nobody's great surprise. I don't guess, huh. Twenty twenty four,
a fewer than thirteen hundred arrests were made in South
Carolina this year, more than three thousand. The year's not

(41:31):
quite over yet. Now we don't have any you know,
in any towns in our state. We're seeing, you know,
increased ICE presence, I mean were in the Midlands. There
was a rumor a couple of weeks ago based on
an immigration activist saying he had gotten phone calls from

(41:51):
people saying that, yeah, this is back when when ICE
was conducting Operation Charlotte's Web up in Charlotte, there had
been an increased press here in the Midlands area. But
that was again coming from an immigration activist saying he
had gotten people calling him saying that and even said
he can only confirm one case of that. Whatever. But

(42:12):
most of these there rests happening in the low country.
Charleston County seeing the most, more than nine hundred people
obtained so far, Greenville County just over one hundred. Don't
have numbers available for the Midlands, so that's a big
increase over last year. Certainly, of those three thousand people
arrested this year, about half have pending criminal charges, just

(42:37):
under half have criminal convictions, and that leaves about three
hundred people that arrested that had no prior criminal history
that we're aware of. Okay, I think this is part
of the problem. You don't really know depending on where
these people came from, if you have accurate records back
from wherever they came from, whether they were in trouble
the law or not. This as part of this with

(43:00):
you know, these Afghan refugees that have come in here
through a lack of vetting by the Biden administration, and
well this this led to the shooting of two guardsmen
in DC and the killing of one. So of the
more than three thousand arrested, only a tenth had no
known prior criminal history. Well wait a minute, I thought

(43:24):
they were just going willing nanty after anybody because they
had their wrong skin color and disappearing the mind of
that good night. No, that's not the case, I guess not. Well,
talk on doesn't seem to be. By the way, this
comes from, consider the source. Sorry, this comes from CNN.

(43:46):
President Trump's immigration crackdown is impacting this sale of two
popular beer brands, Modello and Corona third shows the market
has been hard hit by Trump's deportation push. Modella, which
was the top selling beer, tomping michelob Ultra the last

(44:10):
year or so, no longer.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
Is and they're suggesting the crackdown is the reason that
Americans don't please.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
The owner of Modelo says they've been hit especially hard
because Latinos make up roughly half of their beer customers.
So are you telling me that because of this crackdown
that Latinos are no longer drinking beer. I guess that's
what they're telling us, at least in this country. I
think they've been drinking more beer anyway.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
By the way, record numbers at the border again in November.
If there's anything Trump has turned around in a hurry,
maybe not the economy. That's a little more difficult to
do well that crackdown on the border.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
There's basically nobody coming across the border these days, exactly
basically nobody.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
From the Midlands to the Low Country.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
This is South Carolina's morning News on one O three
point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC and ninety
four to three WSC Now Gary David and Christopher Tom seven.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
To fifty three coming up at the eight o'clock hour.
More news to pass along on a Supreme Court ruling
about the redistricting efforts in Texas. Will they let that
stand for this cycle? We'll tell you all about that.
Got Nora News to pass along on the first district
congresswoman in the Republican gubernatorial hopeful Nancy Mace the j

(45:38):
sixth bomber alleged bomber apprehended behind bars this morning, and
the questions is why did it take so long talking
about that? More coming up in the eight o'clock hour
of South Carolina's Morning News. It's good to have you
with us, and maybe one day we'll learn here in
our state stop naming roads for people who are still
alive never works out. It just does. How many names

(46:00):
that we had to road names that we had to
change because we put somebody's name on there and they
wound up running a foul something or another. Now, but
the upstate, that section of US twenty nine named after
former and now disgraced Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright, they've
well taken his name off that road. I don't know

(46:20):
if the signs are down yet or not, but they
will be in short order. They took a vote last night,
the GOT Commission did. It was unanimous and it took
under a minute to decide. Okay, come on, help yourself
out here a little bit at least wait till they
get out of office. Okay, before you start slapping names
up on roads. How many times does that happen? Thanks

(46:44):
for joining us for South Carolina's morning news on this
Friday morning. It is seven fifty four. Thanks for being
with us. We appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is South
Carolina's morning news on one on three point five AM,
five sixty am WVOC and ninety four to three WSC
now Gary David and Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Three minutes after eight o'clock to start two alone. It'll
give me a rainy weekend for us unfortunately, and again
the potential for some coastal flooding in the low country
and up up the coastline into the PD or the
Grand Strand region today. So there's that to keep an
eye on for. It looks just like a just kind
of a nasty, rainy, cool, some cases cold weekend, but

(47:38):
not cold enough for anything frozen. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (47:40):
I have seen one model and in fact, our friend
Mitch west on X yeah, has suggested maybe it dips
down for something on Monday.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
How far down?

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Not very far, okay, but at least within the state borders.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Yeah. Well, you know, there was a there was a
model out a couple of days ago that suggested that,
and there was a model out yesterday said that Charlot
might gets noted it. But I don't think that's happening. Well, anyway,
let's keep it, keep it to the north exactly. We
don't need certainly, don't even don't even mention that. Don't
want to say that word around here? Thank you? Say?

Speaker 5 (48:18):
Oh four?

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Okay? Are Democrats really serious about trying to h you know,
get get some kind of a fix to the expiring
Obamacare enhanced subsidies. We'll be talking about that in this hour.
The Supreme Courts making a ruling in those Texas congressional maps.
We'll tell you how they how they will call them.
This this one the j six arrest and why it

(48:41):
took so long? And one news on Nancy Nancy, Yeah,
Nancy Mace this morning to pass along. Might we be
seeing another potential bombshell as again, well, she's still diffusing
the bombshell from the other day, that New York Times
story that claimed she was going to retire early from Congress.
She again yesterday, this time and with reporters on a

(49:01):
zoom call, denied that report vociferously. We'll have more reason
on that coming up. We were talking about this a
couple of days back, the gas tax in South Carolina
or do we see it again? How the first gas
tax increases over what was that six years.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Something like that or six five or six years seventeen?

Speaker 4 (49:23):
I think it was, yeah, you know, of twenty eight
cents a gallon. Now after prior to that we had
some of the lowest of the country. Question is is okay,
years later after that tax gas increase, do you wherever
you are, do you really see evidence that the roads
are better? Apparently it wasn't enough. As we mentioned, they

(49:49):
had a some some of the state House got a
briefing earlier this week from a Frank Rainwater, who's the
executive director of the South kind of Revenue and Physical
Affairs Office, and he talked about how we just we
need to find other sources of revenue here to get
to get the job done. So twenty eight point seventy

(50:12):
five cents a gallon ain't getting it done. Now. We
did hear from at least one state representative, Shannon Ericson,
who co chairs a transportation transportation ad hoc committee, that
everything's on the table with the exception of another gas
tax increase.

Speaker 5 (50:34):
Okay, well if it didn't work the first time, yeah right,
And I mean we're we've got more fuel efficient cars,
some people are driving evs, so that probably wouldn't be
the answer to the next round.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
And you know, you know what, inconveniently happened in the
middle of all this, while we were raising the gas tax,
we went through a period there where we weren't driving
at all. True, remember COVID. I'd love to see some
sort of data on the typical number of miles driven

(51:09):
and gas consumed in our state in any given year
versus what we saw in like say a two year span.
Certainly in that one year when nobody was driving, that
didn't help things. But Justin Powell, the Secretary of DOT
in our state, get a load of this, predicting that

(51:29):
DOT will need an additional one billion dollars annually to
fully implement the infrastructure improvements over the next quarter of
a century. One billion dollars annually. That's not building a
single new road. That's simply taking care of the roads

(51:50):
and bridges we have now. Yeah, yeah, that's what he said,
that a majority of new money would go towards interstates
and bridges. You know, in some cases this would be
to you know, they know there are plans to widen
twenty six from Charleston the Columbia all the way down.

(52:11):
That's already a nightmare drive to begin with, and at
least on the Columbia end, they've been doing work for
a good while now and that's been a nightmare. But
still it needs to be done.

Speaker 5 (52:26):
And you get matching federal fund. Yeah, you get to
get federal dollars for that sort of thing.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
But yeah, this this is mainly yeah, he just had
most of that money would go towards the interstates and bridges,
and we know the problems we have with bridges. So
a billion a year over twenty five years, and you
know that road you might drive on to work each
and every day when you don't get on the interstate.
This is apparently getting very little of any of his money.

(52:56):
So I wonder what it would what would it would
cost to fix all the roads. Because of inflation, they
say the revenue from gas tax isn't going as far anymore.
This is what Rainwater told me the other day that
if gas taxes were raised to keep up with inflation,

(53:17):
the department could make about a billion dollars more a
year by twenty fifty. But in that scenario, our gas
tax would be about fifty one cents a gallon by
twenty fifty. Yeah, not quite doubling what it is now,
but coming close. Yeah. I don't think there are too
many over the state House. I have much of an
appetite for doing that. Well, not if they want to

(53:38):
keep their jobs.

Speaker 5 (53:38):
That's a tough cell to constituents too, because we don't
feel like we got a whole lot out of the
first time.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
They reread, Now there's the problem, right, we already gave
you money.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
What'd you do with it?

Speaker 4 (53:47):
And now you want more? No, Charleston County, you're dealing
with this right now with an infrastructure tax, you know,
a halfpenny tax, and well you're rebuffed it the first time.
Now they're trying to figure out ways to make it
more palatable to you. Well, good luck with that.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
This is South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
This Morning News on one on three point five FM
and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and ninety four to
three WUSC Charleston, Now Gary David and Christopher Thomas.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
Fifteen after eight o'clock. Good Friday morning, till you at
the fifth of December, down less than three weeks now
of Christmas Day. We've had out last month that we
got good news on the teacher front in our state
that all we're still short, teachers were not near as
short as we were, So teacher vacancies across the Palmado
State are dropping. Good thing about a thirty two decree

(54:45):
thirty two percent, i should say, decrease in the number
of teacher vacancies year after year. So that's the second
straight year that we have reduced the number of teachers
needed in our public schools. But that's not the only profession. Well,
we've had issues here recently law enforcement. While we've increased

(55:09):
funding for high patrol, for SLED for some other departments
at the state level, the executive director of the State
Law Enforcement Officers Association, JJ Jones, says it's better than
it was, but nowhere near where it needs to be.
He estimates that our state's total police force is down

(55:30):
thirty percent from where it was needed at the height
of the COVID pandemic, he says, and those numbers have continued.
The vacacy numbers have continued gone up since then. There's
still way too many vacanciesy told the state paper that
to hear teachers talk about missing five hundred teachers, we're
down three thousand law enforcement officers. And we're not a

(55:52):
state where we're you know, down on cops. Imagine what
it's like in those places trying to maintain law and
order where they hate the police. Thankfully, we're not one
of those states. Well, as we find out with teachers,
money helps. It also helps everyone in that profession to
feel more valued. It's not just you know, the dollars

(56:14):
that go into your bank account, it's the feeling you
get that we do value your service. There is a
common theme running amongst this and our last category we'll
get to in a second, and that is, you know,
quality of life. The time you know a teacher's day
is not from the time the bell rings till the
time the bell rings, not even close. Certainly, a law

(56:34):
enforcement officer's day is nowhere near something like that, Nor
is the day of a nurse. I know this from
personal experience. My wife was a nurse for a long
time before she retired. That's another pain point for us here.
Right now, we've got about ninety thousand registered nurses in

(56:55):
our state, but well the course of the next dozen years,
the data shows that will face a shortage of nearly
twelve thousand full time nursing positions. About nineteen percent of
what we need will not be there. The big problem,
and this has been a problem for a long time,

(57:15):
is a lack of qualified instructors. Nurses Association in our
state says that we've turned away eighty thousand qualified nursing
candidates because there weren't enough instructors to teach them. And
nurses have a hard, hard job, man. And then you

(57:37):
got to wonder, how again, the recent ruling by the
Trump administration that nursing is no longer considered a professional degree.
So that turns away, you know, potential nurses from potential
federal dollars to help them in their education. That's going
to compound the issue greatly. I still don't get that.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
And it may be revised. Yeah, I would hope it
got a lot of blow back. Yeah, I would hope
it would be. But teachers, cops, nurses were short. And again,
we're making good products on the teacher front, but what
about those other two?

Speaker 4 (58:14):
Will those vacancies continue to grow? These are folks we need,
We need answers and solutions.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Live from the State Capitol, This is South Carolina's Morning
News with Carrie David and Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
At age twenty four on a Friday morning. Two quick
things to make you go. Hmmm. Yesterday, just after eight o'clock,
will it be mountain time? I guess a warning went out?
Not a warning, A news flash went out that a
five point nine magnitude earthquake hit just east of Carson City, Nevada,

(58:57):
close to the Lake Tahoe region. The USGS they've got
a map and may maybe you got a bookmarked around
here as many earthquakes as we have, maybe you should. Uh,
they've got a map of the latest earthquakes. It showed
up there. The Quake Warning System set out an errant
message apparently there was no earthquake.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Really hmmm, I mean I saw this news story get
walked back.

Speaker 4 (59:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Are they saying it never happened?

Speaker 4 (59:26):
Never happened. Okay, No, the alert went out, it showed
up on the USGS maps, and I'm sure people around
Carson City, Nevada thought what now, were were a little
two point oh's or one point nine? So, I mean
it'd be easy not to know, right, But with a
five point nine was a six magnitude quake, you'd a known.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
Yeah, either that or did we do something to shake
the ground and then we tried to cover it up?

Speaker 4 (59:53):
Oh wait a minute, you're putting on the tin hat now,
I mean that's my job around here. There were a
conspiracy theorist hat.

Speaker 5 (59:59):
There were too many reports of it yesterday before news
organizations started walking it back.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
You wonder, now this was weird? This was in Oh,
this is in Nevada.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
Yeah, we've done stuff out there before, nuclear related.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
Huh. I don't know. Well we're testing again, Yeah, supposedly.
Did we just did we just set off an underground
nuke in Nevada?

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
Hmm?

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
Don't know. And how about this two twin twin brothers,
Monivee and so Hib Octyer. These two are convicted internet hackers.
They were just arrested this week over an alleged conspiracy
to destroy government databases and other crimes. But here's the

(01:00:46):
rest of the story that makes you go hmm. These
two already arrested, convicted of have hacking, did their prison
time for wire fraud and conspiring to hack into the
US State Department. Well, they're back working on the job
with a somehow fit called Opexus, who has a contract

(01:01:11):
with guess who, the US government? The State Department. Oh jez, Yeah,
And now they're both back behind bars, alleged to a
deleted government databases.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
Okay, all they needed was a little more access.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
What genius made that call? Huh? What about? Do we
even vet anything anymore?

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
This is South Carolina's Morning News on one O three.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Point five FM and five sixty AM WVOC, Columbia and
ninety four to three WSC Charleston. Now Gary David and
Christopher Thompson.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Forty five To carry on the thought here that this
narrative of this guy arrested for the pipe bomb settings
on January fifth, it didn't fit the narrative. Jake Tapper
live on scene in Yesterday the lead with Jake Tapper
summarizing the DOJ's indictment of this young man Cole and

(01:02:14):
called him a white man. Now, did did did did
Jake Tapper not see the picture of this guy? I
mean it was released with everything else by the DJ yesterday.
Did he not pay attention to it? Did he just
assume just assumed head? Or was this like a Freudian
slip because it didn't fit the narrative? Yeah, that just happened. Well,

(01:02:42):
today be the day that we uh get another bombshell
drop in relation to Nancy mas or not fits News
reporting that this week and not whether it happens today
or that might be next week, that the Charleston Regional
Airport Authority will publicly bond to Mace's Foyer request. She

(01:03:03):
threatened to sue the airport and all sorts of folks
over that incident back on October thirtieth, and requested all
the records they had because Mace tried to make a
case that was a this was a pattern by the
airport to target her, to really insinuating that they were

(01:03:24):
they were wishing her harm. It sounded like well sources
telling Fitz News that when the Regional Airport Authority in
Charleston produces FOYA documents that their response well will include

(01:03:46):
numerous video files. We've seen those the dash cam, the
bodycam footage, but also audio files. Now we've been told
what it was she was saying, but reading it in
black and white and actually hearing her to these employees
who were there, many of them working without pay, certainly
all the ones the TSA agents were working without pay

(01:04:08):
during the shutdown, to actually hear it in her own words,
we'll be damning.

Speaker 5 (01:04:13):
Yeah, that's not going to be a good look for her,
even if you're used to it, even if you've seen
videos of her accosting people in stores or at airports. Yeah,
that's not going to be good for her.

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
In addition, this horses say these files will include documentation
of previous alleged instances of heated interactions involving mace at
the airport. Okay, well brace yourself for that now. Again,

(01:04:48):
the reports said that would come out this week. Well
it's Friday. I'm not sure it comes out today, but
it'll apparently is coming out, and uh well it'll be
another big talking point for her her opponents in the
Republican primary. You can bet they're not gonna let you
forget about this. No, I mean, how many ads are
we going to see come next spring that show that

(01:05:12):
bodycam footage and if.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
They get audio, well they'll have to bleep out a
lot of it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
Yeah, sounds like it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Your news, traffic, weather and information stations. This is South
Carolina's morning news on one on three point five FM,
five sixty AM WVOC and ninety four to three WSC.
Now Gary David and Christopher Thompson, and.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
We'll leave you this morning with a couple of quick
stories here. The Supreme Court yesterday upholding Samuel Alito's decision
and overturning that lower court decision would allow those Texas
congressional maps that were redrawn to stand at least for
this election cycle. Where are those new districts that are
already starting to qualify the course saying, yeah, it's you

(01:06:05):
can't overturn this now. The process is already underway, which
is the argument Texas made, So at least temporarily, that
will be the map that will be used for the
midterm election cycle as they have their primaries in March,
we'll have Arsenal June, they have Theirs in March. So
that ruling coming down yesterday and Democrats in the Senate now, well,
it looks like that Chuck Schumer is agreed with Akeem

(01:06:28):
Jefferies extension of Obamacare enhanced subsidies, he says should go
for three years, not the one year he originally wanted.
The bipartisan bill Tray were trying to hammer out the
hope Ack would have had it two years. What's the difference, Well,
one year would put it in the midterm cycle, three
years puts it in the presidential cycle. Two years puts
it in no cycle at all.

Speaker 5 (01:06:48):
Just tells you how big a political football it is.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
Yeah, do the Democrats really want to extend these things
right now? Or do they want to score more political
points by putting this up which they know that Republicans
are not going to agree to. When we're supposed to
get a vote next week in the Senate on this
and may never get a vote at least not this
month in the House. We'll wait and see. That'll do
it for us. We hope you choose to make it
a great day, have a fabulous weekend. We will see

(01:07:11):
you again Monday morning.
