Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The man suspected in an attempted assassination of former President
Trump did not fire any shots. Speaking from Palm Beach County, Florida,
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe said suspect Ryan Roath
was unable to get a single shot off, and he
praised the quick actions of his team. Roe said there's
been a dynamic shift in Secret Service policy since Trump's
(00:30):
first assassination attempt in Pennsylvania back in July, and there
cannot be any failures. He said. The FBI is confirming
there investigating Sunday's event as an assassination attempt, and reviewed
the two federal firearm charges Ruth faces at this point,
noting that more could be coming. The FBI also confirmed
(00:51):
Ruth was at the scene for twelve hours before the
event unfolded, based on cell phone records. Time's running out.
If you want to vote in this year's election are
not yet registered. Today is National Voter Registration Day, a
big push to expand the voter rolls. The goal is
to help people sign up or get back on the
voter list if they missed a deadline or forget to
(01:12):
update their registration. After moving, hip hop mogul Sean Ditty
Combs says he's looking forward to clearing his name in court.
Combs was taken into federal custody yesterday in New York City.
Charges against him remain sealed for now, but that's expected
to change later today. Back in July, Combs faced new
(01:34):
sex trafficking allegations in a lawsuit from a former porn star.
Nearly a dozen lawsuits have now been filed against him,
alleging physical abuse or sex trafficking.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I haven't followed the Puffy Diddy whichever Combs he's going
as now, Sean Puffy Combs, Sean Diddy Combs, I haven't
been following that enough other than to wonder, I suppose,
not just who he's surrounding himself with all these years family. Otherwise,
(02:07):
when it comes to you know, people who have a
lot of money and how you really should be very
careful no matter who you are at any point, especially
if you're a star and someone with a lot of
a lot of money, you're going to invite a lot
of drama. So I would have to dig more into
that story to talk more about it. But voter registration day,
(02:30):
did you see where the United States Pulsal Service said,
we will get the ballots to where they need to
be on time. So it was the story last week
that unfolded about the ballots and security and the election
coming up, and of course that is a massive concern
to people.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I've got a story coming up about it. And
you know what, it sounds very familiar to me. Didn't
we hear this last time around? Yep? And we keep
hearing all these little things filter through that are like, oh,
don't be surprised if this happened. Don't be surprised if
that happens. Makes me think and assures me that the.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Fix is in well, And I don't know if you've
had conversations like I have a lot of people asking,
you know how when we're out in public, you know,
when people are just talking and asking questions and they're like,
you know, do you think this selection is secure? You know?
How am I to know?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
No, yeah, how am I actually to ever really know?
Other than you know, the big pushes, same day, paper
ballot one day, counting that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You would know if they took some measures to prevent
illegals from voting, if they took measures to reconcile the
voter roles against legal voters, you would know if they
required signatures and dates and held to state law in
each of the states. That's how you would know. But
we're not seeing any of that now, are we.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well we are though in Texas and Georgia, some of
these important swing states, we are. And again I give
credit to not just like Governor Abbott or here in
South Carolina, we've definitely shored up and secured the vote.
And they took that model, if you will, through our
current chairman at the GOP, who is you know, like
co chair of whatever high up at the rn C,
(04:16):
Drew McKissick, And you know, he took that all the
way to the Supreme Court of the United States for
South Carolina. And then they're mirroring that all over. But
the twenty twenty elections happened in the meantime, and COVID
happened in the meantime.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Twenty twenty four is going to happen in the meantime.
And you mentioned South Carolina in Texas, what about Michigan,
What about Pennsylvania, what about Wisconsin? What about Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
What about all these other areas well?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This is where the RNC has got lawsuits. But are
we going to run out of time? I mean, it's
the seventeenth of September. I mean, November's right around the corner.
Today's National voter registration Day. I mean, I'm with you
on that, believe me. So when people ask that question,
I'm like, I can't. I can't answer whether it's it's
going to be secure or not. I mean, that's a
horrible thing to have.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
To admit it's not going to be secure.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
From major events to local headlines, This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three USC. Now back to
Kelly and Blaze and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The more details coming out about the Trump shooter second
assassination attempt known to the FBI. This guy here we
go again, somebody else on the radar. We know yesterday
Pro Ukraine Anti Israel talking about Ryan Wesley Ralph, the
fifty eight year old with the attempted assassination on Sunday
(05:38):
being apprehended trying to kill former President Trump on his
golf course. It was encouraged, you know, encouraging Iran to
kill the former president, and apparently a book about the
Ukraine War. There's excerpts now listen, there's all kinds of
stuff circling around social media blaze. I don't know if
you've seen this in your scroll in your fee that course.
(06:01):
He well also that both these attempted assassins were featured
in black Rock commercials. That shocked me yesterday. Did you
see that?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I was saying yesterday. He's been all over the media.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean, what are the odds that both of these
guys were featured in black Rock commercials? I just again,
the more that comes out, the more you're like, whoa,
wait what so?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, he's pro Palestinian. He was arrested for having an
automatic weapon and then charged with possessing a weapon of
mass destruction because there was an automatic weapon. Somehow he
got off the hook off of that one. He's been
on the police radar. He was over one hundred times.
(06:51):
There were incidences involving him and the police in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well in the whole trying to find volunteers to fight Russia,
and in the New York Times interviewed this guy. I mean,
and they're not the only ones in this book about
the Ukraine War. I mean, the whole thing is incredibly bizarre.
And I don't know if you want to throw this
one in the bizarre column or not. But Trump sat
(07:17):
down last night and did an interview on x There's
a place called Spaces where you know, he did a
live interview and there's a crypto guy, and you know,
he's been blaming this rhetoric with Joe Biden and Vice
President Kamala Harris, you know, for the violence against him.
Yet he turned around and said that he had a
chat with Joe Biden and he couldn't have been nicer.
(07:40):
I mean, the quotes go on, but basically it said
I need more security, and Biden said I'll see what
I can do about it. So, I don't know, it
was a little bit, a little bit of a twist there.
I was like, oh, okay, I mean, what was he
going to be?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Well, they're also ramping up blaming Trump for the violence
because he inside this violence that's been turned against him.
I mean, it's the whole thing's ridiculous. So and they're
aligning it. Even Lester Holtz, we talked about this yesterday,
just trying to lump it in with this Springfield, Ohio
story where there's bomb threats going on in Springfield, Ohio.
(08:16):
That story's coming up, and they're blaming Trump and they
say he needs to tone down the rhetoric and therefore
maybe they'll stop shooting at him, essentially as their point.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Of view, which is ridiculous and awful. And who other
than places like this are going to call out the
propaganda press for they're also rhetoric in this. I mean,
they have a you, they have a duty and responsibility
too as well. But yet who's going to call them
out on that?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, some of these people are crazy, and you would
assume that they're crazy. And if somebody's telling you that
this guy is Hitler, So if Hitler is a mon us,
don't you have a moral obligation to go after him
and kill him? It's Hitler. So when they frame the
(09:14):
conversation that way, and when they point their fingers and
call names and frame Trump is the most dangerous threat
to the United States since the Civil War, and that
he's want to be dictator like Hitler and all these
other things. If you're mentally unbalanced and you believe this stuff,
why don't you think it's even a moral thing? To
(09:37):
go after Trump.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I think that there is a duty and responsibility as
members of the press, even though I call them the
propaganda press, to not incite things like that by reporting.
You know, how about do the homework and recognize that
all those things, you know, push back on them. I mean,
that is not true. This guy's not Hitler. The whole
thing is, you know, there's a duty in a re
(10:00):
responsibility in this profession.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, the duty and the responsibility would start with the
people that are saying it in the first place, that
are in your government.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Well, yeah, I agree, but there's a you know, there's
a responsibility lesser hold and other people to push back
and say. And by the way, there are some people
who are finally it took what are we two weeks
past the debate? Here, we're in week two getting past
the maybe only debate with Kamala and Trump, and finally,
finally they're pushing back on her lies. You know, they're
(10:33):
pushing back on the fact that ABC did zero fact
checking on her. And I'm happy because they've had to.
They can't ignore social media and people pushing back on
them and saying this is a lie, this is a lie,
This is a lie. You know, thank goodness, thank goodness,
so not getting away with being well? Are black and
sucky at their jobs?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
How many people watch the debate? I don't remember. Was
it seventy one million? I don't know, something like that,
more so than the last one with Biden. Right, did
all of those people get that memo? I mean, who
knows Kamalo is lying? No? Too late now?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Decision twenty twenty four. Kelly and Blaze our ringside for
the main event. This is Charleston's Morning News on ninety
four to three WSC.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Today is Constitution Day. To prevent the abuses of power
they felt subjected to under the British monarchy, the founding
founders framed the Constitution carefully distributing power between three branches
of government. The Constitution outlines the government's powers, the limitations
on those powers, and the rights of citizens. It also
(11:49):
outlines an amendment process for making changes in the future.
In nineteen forty, Congress and the President passed a resolution
creating I Am an American Day. It was first observed
on the third Sunday in May, but in nineteen fifty
two the holiday was renamed to Constitution Day and moved
to September seventeenth. That's the day in seventeen eighty seven
(12:12):
that the Constitution was signed. More than fifty years later,
in two thousand and four, Congress once again changed the
name of the holiday, but kept the date the same.
The name is now Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, and
that's today.
