Speaker 1 (00:03):
Now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So there's more good news from President Trump's tariffs. Ge
Appliances is shifting production of refrigerators, gas ranges, and water
heaters out of China and Mexico and bringing them back
to the United States. The company's president and CEOs sa
as GE Appliances will expand operations in Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
(00:31):
and right here in South Carolina. The three billion dollar
investment is expected to add more than one thousand jobs.
The move comes as President Trump raises tariffs in part
to try and lure manufacturing back to the United States.
A lot of people say that ship has sailed and
we can't build, rebuild manufacturing back into the United States.
(00:52):
If that's an old way of doing things, leave that
to the third world countries. You know, we're an informational
to me now, and you see what AI is doing
to the informational sector. It's replacing it. So you know,
we need trades and we need manufacturing and things like that.
You go up north or through the Midwest, there's a
(01:15):
reason they call it the rust belt. It's because all
of that manufacturing dried up and just decimated the cities
that were once great American cities and are now reduced
to decay and rust. So the President is taking a
lot of heat over these tariffs, but you've heard the
(01:35):
billions and billions and billions of dollars being reinvested back
in the United States versus letting it go to some
other country. And we're talking everything from manufacturing to technology.
You know, the computer chips and you know, some of
the components for iPhones as well as automobiles, as well
(01:59):
as GE appliances. So they're expanding their factory. GE is
in Camden. They also have a distribution center in Greenville.
So you can see how this will benefit our economy
here in South Carolina. And you can see use South
Carolina as an example to how important manufacturing is to
(02:21):
an economy. Look at what our economy was. You know,
we relied on the government essentially for a long time
with the military, you know, with the Navy base, with
the Naval weapons station, with the Air Force base. And
when they closed the Navy base, everybody was completely worried,
(02:42):
panicked that that was going to be it for our economy.
Tourism wasn't that great of a a source of income
for a lot of people. At that point, there weren't
a whole lot of jobs. You know. I had an
interview with Charleston Redevelopment a week or two ago, and
(03:04):
we were talking about the closure of the Navy base
and just the panic that's set through the community when
that happened. And of course there was several different secrets
in the sauce to bringing the Charleston region back around.
Certainly tourism played a role, but certainly manufacturing played a role.
(03:27):
And we see with Boeing and Mercedes, Benz and Volvo,
to name just a few, and we see how that
bolstered the local economy, and we see how important manufacturing is.
Those are some great jobs at Boeing, Those are some
great jobs at the engine plants, you know, at Mercedes,
(03:49):
or at Volvo and at ge in Camden. So manufacturing
plays a big role in an economy, and why were
we out sourcing that to begin with? And it keeps
reminding me of If you're old enough, you'll remember Ross Perrot.
I guess it was the nineteen ninety two presidential election.
(04:11):
If I remember correctly, Am I getting the year right? Anyway?
You know? He was kind of the spoiler candidate, you know,
we're running on the third party ticket, but he made
a whole lot of sense, and he was talking about
NAFTA and he said that giant sucking sound you hear
is jobs leaving the country. And then now what thirty
(04:32):
something odd years later, we see the results of that,
and President Trump's trying to fix that and bring manufacturing
back to the United States, just one of the ways
he's trying to, in his words, make America great again.
And as I said, those are good job The middle
class was born out of manufacturing and the eight hour
(04:53):
workday and benefits in all of these things that workers
expect now born out of manu manufacturing. So it was
foolish to let that go and let that go overseas.
And anytime you let something go overseas, that's money leaving
this country. It doesn't stay in our economy, It grows
(05:14):
somebody else's economy. It's being spent in somebody else's economy,
and therefore we're less wealthy as a nation for it.
So I welcome GE's expansion in Camden, and hopefully there's
more to come for South Carolina, more to come for
every state that wants it. In the Union, President Trump's
(05:36):
looking to expand federal authority over Washington, d C. And
the President's looking to actually lengthen out the control that
he has over Washington, DC's police department. The President said
he's planning to ask Congress for an extension of the
federalization of the local force in the nation's capital. The
clock's already ticking on Trump's emergency powers over DC police
(06:01):
that lasts for only thirty days. Any extensions must be
approved by Congress, and that's doubtful because he needs democratic support.
And the Democrats, as usual, are on the wrong side
of this issue. And you think that they would finally
wake up and figure out how to be halfway effective,
(06:25):
but they haven't. They just keep lobbing on to losing issues,
the wrong side of every issue that the President makes
an issue. And you know, the I think they thought
that people were finally going to say he is some
iron fisted ruler, you know, and look at how he's
(06:46):
taking over everything and abusing his power. And they thought,
I think that the masses were going to go along
with that and say, yes, we're finally over Trump and
look at his abusive power. And they were right, the
Democrats say that he was going to become, you know,
some kind of king or undemocratic at the least ruler,
(07:08):
and the opposite's happening. Even the Democrats are going, well,
Washington DC really does have a crime problem. And then
they started, you know, throwing out that well, crime rates
are down, and even Democrats are like, well, let me
tell you, if you live or work around Washington, DC,
you know it's a major problem. And here's what happened
(07:29):
to me, and here's what happened to my friend, and
here's what happened to my family. There was even one
Democrat on I think it was on MSNBC of all places,
where he's like, here's all the things that have happened
just in my neighborhood and what was caught on my
ring doorbell. And so people are fed up with the
crime in Washington, d C. And they welcome that this
(07:52):
president's going to do something about it while the Democrats
fight him over it. And so he's this is going
to be a political fight, you know, if he wants
to expand this power. And I wouldn't underestimate him in
his ability to get an extension passed because somebody on
(08:16):
the Democrat side is going to wake up and say, well,
this is a losing issue for us, you know, we
should embrace it and go along with it and lessen
his advantage over this. But for some reason they don't
think that way these on any of these issues. They're like,
we're going to fight him tooth and nail, and they
keep losing ground. It's kind of unbelievable to watch to me.
(08:40):
And so, you know, it's I think this portends, you know,
a major change in the Democrat party. The Democrats think
that that's going to come about by this New York
mayor Mandani who's you know against you know, cancel the
police and all of these things. And then he talks
(09:02):
out of both sides of his mouth on that issue
because he knows it's kind of a losing issue. But
if the Democrats think that he, this socialist out of
New York, is going to be their savior again, I
think that is a miscalculation. Unless this country is so
far gone that I don't realize it yet, but I
don't think so. Mexico is expelling more than two dozen
(09:24):
high ranking cartel members to the United States. The transfer
comes as part of a deal with the Trump administration
as it works to combat drug trafficking. The twenty six
cartel leaders and members were flown to the US on Tuesday,
and include a man connected to Las Quenas who is
accused of killing a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy in
(09:45):
two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, looky, there yet another victory for this president who
made shine bomb basically doing about face.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well, I don't think this isn't about face. Oh, come on, no,
it's not. So she said the other day that she
was against the US military coming into Mexico and going
after the cartels. This is extraditing them to the United States.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's absolutely, in my opinion, a way that shows Okay,
no you're not coming here, but here is what we
will do for you.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well, this is not the first time they've done it.
This is the second transfer in recent months, with twenty
nine cartel figures handed over in February. So that's why
I'm saying it's not an about face.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It's checkers and chess. I really don't believe. I mean,
we can agree to disagree, but I think that.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, well, she's been doing this so but she's still
sticking to her guns. On no US military coming after
the cartels.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well, we'll see. I mean, thank goodness, we're doing so
not US military wise, but at least with three letter agencies,
i e. Ice doing it on our own home soil.
With regards to the cartels in America, well yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And we were talking yesterday, It's like, well, what do
you to Why wouldn't you want, especially when you look
at the violence that these cartels perpetrate on the citizens
of Mexico, on the politicians of Mexico. Maybe she's worried
for her life because it seems that anybody that stands
up to them loses their life pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Well, I mean, the the ones who are extra died,
of course, are already popped. You know, they've already got there,
already behind bars or charged. So I could see where
she's town a line for her life, if you know.
To your point. But I still think that, well, I
think it's a great sign. But I who wants to
(11:39):
see the US military on you know, Mexican soil. I
certainly don't. But at the end of the day, these
cartels have infiltrated and they are deadly to us. They
are an absolute, you know threat.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, I can't speak for the White House, but I'm
sure these would be special operations teams. We're not like
sending troops into patrol the streets of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Right Sadly, they've had troops to our border. I mean
it's not a far stretch. I mean, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, they haven't proposed that they've proposed going in there,
and I would assume through some kind of special forces
and going after the cartels as terrorists.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Of which they are sadly on our soil domestically. And
I oooh, I'm so thankful for this administration in the
you know what, an about face with regards to the
previous administration and now a President Trump, our crime fighter
in chief, just makes me think of Washington, d C
(12:38):
more like DC comics. Welcome in. It is a Thursday
edition the show here on ninety four to three WSC.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So. President Trump's looking to extend federal control of Washington,
DC's police. The President said he's planning to ask Congress
for an extension of the federalization of the local force
and the nation's capital. The clock's already ticking on Trump's
emergency powers over DC. Please that lasts for only thirty days.
Any extensions must be approved by Congress, and that's doubtful
(13:07):
because he needs democratic support and they continue to be
on the wrong side of this issue.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
How in the world. Let's hope that they finally wake up.
But I will say that CNN stepped on a rake.
I don't know if you caught this where they actually
made him sound cooler by trying to make fun of him. Listen,
this is hilarious. Donald Trump makes himself batman and the
nation's capital is Gotham City. The president of.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The United States has declared himself crime fighter in chief.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
So they're trying to make fun of him, but it
makes them even cooler.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's like, okay, well, I mean, it's just ridiculous. They
try to fight him with statistics that are wrong, budged,
and even the Democrats know because they're victims of these
crimes too, and so they're standing up, going, well, now,
wait a minute, it's a pretty dangerous place here, and
it's out of control.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So we've given you multiple examples. The ABCDC reporter, the
lady anchor, and the female anchor. You had the Scott
over at CNN. I mentioned CNN. He said, my god,
I watched a murder in Union station with my own
very eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, the Democrats just can't seem to You would think
that they would try to at least adopt some of
Trump's policies and to look like they're effective, and they don't.
They just fight them on the most stupid things like
who is against trying to reduce crime?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Right exactly? I mean they're digging their own political grave.
These are common sense issues that affect everyone, that includes
your voters, Democrats. But you know what, let him keep failing.
I mean, at this point, they're just there's a shift.
This election proved it. There's a shift in their party.
People are walking away from the left and they're going
(14:57):
to keep doing so because who in their right mind
would stand up for criminals versus making our streets safe again,
including DC.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, I mean, in a sense, I'm glad they're walking
away from the left because I'm not a socialist or
a comy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
But yeah, they've gone full communists, but ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
At the same time, the I don't like that that
there's not a competition there. I'm not so full blown
Republican that I have that I have faith that they're
going to make every right decision. They need some kind
of counterweight to balance things, just like a business needs
(15:38):
competition to create good products. If they're if it's a monopoly,
all of a sudden, they can start selling you a
bunch of crap, right, And so politics to me is
the same way. And I'd like to see somebody come in,
you know, credibly challenge some of these things so that
we can find a balance and have a better product
(15:59):
for lack of a better description at the end of
the day. But we don't so in a way, you know,
I don't agree with their policies. I think that it's ridiculous,
and don't agree with socialism or democratic socialism or whatever
you want to call it. But at the same time,
I wish there was more competition among the political parties,
(16:20):
and I think at the end of the day, we
as citizens would have a better product and a better
country for it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Well, you can rest well tonight. I think that there
is a lot of policing within the Republican Party. There
are people who push back not just against the president,
but you know, their own party in general. I mean,
there's a lot of pushback in the Republican Party amongst
each of them, and I am appreciative of that, to
(16:49):
be honest. So while Democrats, you know, go and make
themselves completely useless sadly to their constituents, there's just going
to say the adults are in charge, thank goodness. And
I understand your point. And guess what Elon's creating a
party for you? Apparently the American Party. Is that what
he wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, it's not necessarily Everybody keeps saying that it's not
necessarily a party for me. I'm not looking for a party.
I'm looking for results, and I'm looking for somebody that
can have a wide range of ideas and say, well,
let's try this, and you know what our idea, we
think is better because of this. And that's what I'm
(17:33):
looking for. And at the end of the day, I'll
decide which one I think is best and vote for that.
I'm not looking for a new party or anything. I'm
just looking for some competition and some ideas and ways
to make this country better for future generations. Rock and
Roll Hall of Famers, kiss, country music icon George Strait,
(17:54):
and actor Sylvester Stallone have all been announced as this
year's Kennedy Center honoree. President Trump announced the group set
to receive this year's honors yesterday. Others who will be
honored are English actor Michael Crawford and disco singer Gloria Gaynor.
This is the first group of honorees to be named
since Trump took over the Kennedy Center as chairman, and
(18:16):
he also announced that there's going to be a new
host this year, a surprise host. It will be him.
Trump also announced that he will host this year's ceremony.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Please get this man in cape. Where is he not?
Where is cynicals not touching? He's like a superhero. And
I know that the left will be like, oh my god,
because he's a master troll.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, I mean, he has abundant amounts of energy, and
I don't know anybody else that could take on all
of these different things and fight the opposition with the
effect effectiveness that he has and tackle every issue from
crime I'm in Washington, d C. To dealing with Vladimir
(19:03):
Putin in Russia, to dealing with the economy and the
tariffs and hosting shows at the Kennedy Sign.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I am at the press conference the other day. I'm
just so thankful, my God for the light that they
shine on so much the information that they put out there.
Look at the previous last four dark Brandon years that
we had. Oh my gosh, it will forever be you know,
in our history. It's just some of the darkest times.
And I think in US history under the previous administration
(19:37):
and the massive difference. Oh, I'm just here for it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Can you see Joe Biden hosting, no, hosting an event
at the Kennedy Center to honor these artists.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Find his way to the stage much less off of it.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
No, and think about the ridiculousness that he'd be spouting.
I'm sure you'd.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Be screaming and whispering.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Although it was you know, if it wasn't so scary
and maddening, it would be entertaining in a way. I
kind of miss.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Uh, don't say you missed Stark Brandon. Don't you go there.
That is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I don't know, you start whispering in a sick, macabre sense.
I miss the ridiculousness of being entertained by the stupidity
of that man. Let me put it that way. No,
I'm just making a joke.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Thanks for listening to the Charleston Morning Use podcast Catch
Kelly and Blaze weekday mornings from six to nine
Now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So there's more good news from President Trump's tariffs. Ge
Appliances is shifting production of refrigerators, gas ranges, and water
heaters out of China and Mexico and bringing them back
to the United States. The company's president and CEOs sa
as GE Appliances will expand operations in Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
(00:31):
and right here in South Carolina. The three billion dollar

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Uh, well, she's been doing this so but she's still
sticking to her guns. On no US military coming after
the cartels.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well, we'll see. I mean, thank goodness, we're doing so
not US military wise, but at least with three letter agencies,
i e. Ice doing it on our own home soil.
With regards to the cartels in America, well yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And we were talking yesterday, It's like, well, what do
you to Why wouldn't you want, especially when you look
at the violence that these cartels perpetrate on the citizens
of Mexico, on the politicians of Mexico. Maybe she's worried
for her life because it seems that anybody that stands
up to them loses their life pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Well, I mean, the the ones who are extra died,
of course, are already popped. You know, they've already got there,
already behind bars or charged. So I could see where
she's town a line for her life, if you know.
To your point. But I still think that, well, I
think it's a great sign. But I who wants to
(11:39):
see the US military on you know, Mexican soil. I
certainly don't. But at the end of the day, these
cartels have infiltrated and they are deadly to us. They
are an absolute, you know threat.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, I can't speak for the White House, but I'm
sure these would be special operations teams. We're not like
sending troops into patrol the streets of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Right Sadly, they've had troops to our border. I mean
it's not a far stretch. I mean, we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well, they haven't proposed that they've proposed going in there,
and I would assume through some kind of special forces
and going after the cartels as terrorists.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Of which they are sadly on our soil domestically. And
I oooh, I'm so thankful for this administration in the
you know what, an about face with regards to the
previous administration and now a President Trump, our crime fighter
in chief, just makes me think of Washington, d C
(12:38):
more like DC comics. Welcome in. It is a Thursday
edition the show here on ninety four to three WSC.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So. President Trump's looking to extend federal control of Washington,
DC's police. The President said he's planning to ask Congress
for an extension of the federalization of the local force
and the nation's capital. The clock's already ticking on Trump's
emergency powers over DC. Please that lasts for only thirty days.
Any extensions must be approved by Congress, and that's doubtful
(13:07):
because he needs democratic support and they continue to be
on the wrong side of this issue.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
How in the world. Let's hope that they finally wake up.
But I will say that CNN stepped on a rake.
I don't know if you caught this where they actually
made him sound cooler by trying to make fun of him. Listen,
this is hilarious. Donald Trump makes himself batman and the
nation's capital is Gotham City. The president of.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The United States has declared himself crime fighter in chief.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
So they're trying to make fun of him, but it
makes them even cooler.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's like, okay, well, I mean, it's just ridiculous. They
try to fight him with statistics that are wrong, budged,
and even the Democrats know because they're victims of these
crimes too, and so they're standing up, going, well, now,
wait a minute, it's a pretty dangerous place here, and
it's out of control.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
So we've given you multiple examples. The ABCDC reporter, the
lady anchor, and the female anchor. You had the Scott
over at CNN. I mentioned CNN. He said, my god,
I watched a murder in Union station with my own
very eyes.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, the Democrats just can't seem to You would think
that they would try to at least adopt some of
Trump's policies and to look like they're effective, and they don't.
They just fight them on the most stupid things like
who is against trying to reduce crime?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Right exactly? I mean they're digging their own political grave.
These are common sense issues that affect everyone, that includes
your voters, Democrats. But you know what, let him keep failing.
I mean, at this point, they're just there's a shift.
This election proved it. There's a shift in their party.
People are walking away from the left and they're going
(14:57):
to keep doing so because who in their right mind
would stand up for criminals versus making our streets safe again,
including DC.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, I mean, in a sense, I'm glad they're walking
away from the left because I'm not a socialist or
a comy.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
But yeah, they've gone full communists, but ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
At the same time, the I don't like that that
there's not a competition there. I'm not so full blown
Republican that I have that I have faith that they're
going to make every right decision. They need some kind
of counterweight to balance things, just like a business needs
(15:38):
competition to create good products. If they're if it's a monopoly,
all of a sudden, they can start selling you a
bunch of crap, right, And so politics to me is
the same way. And I'd like to see somebody come in,
you know, credibly challenge some of these things so that
we can find a balance and have a better product
(15:59):
for lack of a better description at the end of
the day. But we don't so in a way, you know,
I don't agree with their policies. I think that it's ridiculous,
and don't agree with socialism or democratic socialism or whatever
you want to call it. But at the same time,
I wish there was more competition among the political parties,
(16:20):
and I think at the end of the day, we
as citizens would have a better product and a better
country for it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Well, you can rest well tonight. I think that there
is a lot of policing within the Republican Party. There
are people who push back not just against the president,
but you know, their own party in general. I mean,
there's a lot of pushback in the Republican Party amongst
each of them, and I am appreciative of that, to
(16:49):
be honest. So while Democrats, you know, go and make
themselves completely useless sadly to their constituents, there's just going
to say the adults are in charge, thank goodness. And
I understand your point. And guess what Elon's creating a
party for you? Apparently the American Party. Is that what
he wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, it's not necessarily Everybody keeps saying that it's not
necessarily a party for me. I'm not looking for a party.
I'm looking for results, and I'm looking for somebody that
can have a wide range of ideas and say, well,
let's try this, and you know what our idea, we
think is better because of this. And that's what I'm
(17:33):
looking for. And at the end of the day, I'll
decide which one I think is best and vote for that.
I'm not looking for a new party or anything. I'm
just looking for some competition and some ideas and ways
to make this country better for future generations. Rock and
Roll Hall of Famers, kiss, country music icon George Strait,
(17:54):
and actor Sylvester Stallone have all been announced as this
year's Kennedy Center honoree. President Trump announced the group set
to receive this year's honors yesterday. Others who will be
honored are English actor Michael Crawford and disco singer Gloria Gaynor.
This is the first group of honorees to be named
since Trump took over the Kennedy Center as chairman, and
(18:16):
he also announced that there's going to be a new
host this year, a surprise host. It will be him.
Trump also announced that he will host this year's ceremony.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Please get this man in cape. Where is he not?
Where is cynicals not touching? He's like a superhero. And
I know that the left will be like, oh my god,
because he's a master troll.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, I mean, he has abundant amounts of energy, and
I don't know anybody else that could take on all
of these different things and fight the opposition with the
effect effectiveness that he has and tackle every issue from
crime I'm in Washington, d C. To dealing with Vladimir
(19:03):
Putin in Russia, to dealing with the economy and the
tariffs and hosting shows at the Kennedy Sign.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
I am at the press conference the other day. I'm
just so thankful, my God for the light that they
shine on so much the information that they put out there.
Look at the previous last four dark Brandon years that
we had. Oh my gosh, it will forever be you know,
in our history. It's just some of the darkest times.
And I think in US history under the previous administration
(19:37):
and the massive difference. Oh, I'm just here for it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Can you see Joe Biden hosting, no, hosting an event
at the Kennedy Center to honor these artists.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Find his way to the stage much less off of it.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
No, and think about the ridiculousness that he'd be spouting.
I'm sure you'd.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Be screaming and whispering.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Although it was you know, if it wasn't so scary
and maddening, it would be entertaining in a way. I
kind of miss.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Uh, don't say you missed Stark Brandon. Don't you go there.
That is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I don't know, you start whispering in a sick, macabre sense.
I miss the ridiculousness of being entertained by the stupidity
of that man. Let me put it that way. No,
I'm just making a joke.
