Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three WSC Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
President Trump says this Big Beautiful Bill is the most
important legislation in US history, and an event meant to
drum up support for the bill. Thursday, Trump was flanked
by working Americans wearing the uniforms of their employers. Trump
said the spending bill would benefit the middle class americans
joining him. The President says he expects the bill to
be on his desk by the fourth of July. The
(00:32):
measure passed the House and now sits in the Senate,
where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Blue collar boom is what they're calling the Big Beautiful Bill.
Blue collar boom. So, I think a lot of people
don't know what's in the Big Beautiful Bill for say big.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I think a lot of the people working on it
don't know what's in it?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well and are they do they have? Also could they
possibly lose the three votes that are needed. I mean,
we talked this week about five names that were actually
on the list in the Senate, and this still has
to get kicked back over to the House and be passed.
And there are people in the House, including Marjorie Taylor
Green of all you know pro president people who are
(01:21):
upset specifically, and here we are talking about things that
are in the bill, AI legislation in states' rights.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, it's like herding cats. So the Senate parliamentarian also
ruled against, you know, this stipulation that they were counting
on to cut funds to offset the tax breaks that
are in the bill. And the Democrats are claiming victory
over this, and so that presents its a problem. And
(01:54):
also this salt. So you have on the right some
defense actors who are like, no, we're not supporting this
unless you give us our salt deduction.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So that's a funny. Interesting we didn't hear about salt before.
Now when it came to the budget, well.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Can talk about you all about it. I mean they tried,
they've tried this before, so this didn't come out of
the blue, but you know the media never picked up
on it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, bigger paychecks for hard working Americans. This is one
of the many things they keep touting in the big
beautiful bill with regards to Trump and the administration and
the average increase in take home pay. They say is
over ten thousand dollars a year. I certainly could use that.
When they say historic tax relief, I questioned that, Okay,
(02:45):
you know what are we talking about here? We all
could use some relief. Fifteen percent tax cut to Americans
earning between thirty thousand and eighty thousand dollars per year.
Certainly we have all heard the new tax on tips
and overtime, which they estimate saves over time and tipped
workers about two thousand dollars annually. And the seniors, I
(03:11):
think really affects so many of you know, our boomer population.
They I don't think are going very deep into explaining that.
They just say it's unprecedented financial relief for our seniors.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, I mean, it's hard to explain the whole big,
beautiful bill because it's big, so it's going to have
to concentrate on getting it passed and beautiful. There's all
these nuances in it that you know, we'll see. I
was surprised because you know, you were here in rumors
where they were even trying to get rid of the
no no taxes on tips or social security.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Can't do that. Well, big sticking point on the campaign
trail over the last year.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yesterday it was looking like promising, but then John Thunne
had an emergency meeting with President Trump. We don't know
about what, but it was probably about those two issues
that I already mentioned. So the big beautiful Bill could
be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And even the water temperatures eighty six, I thought it
was going to be cooler yesterday. I was on Ruby
motorcycle side car hack Ruby yesterday in the mid afternoon
and even the wind was hot. I was like, oh man,
well I was.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Broke down on the side of Cosgrow oh no, and
had to go stand because I'm like, I am not
sitting in this car like a sitting duck.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like this, not on the bridge right right.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Before the bridge. So I got off twenty six heading
into West Ashley, and of course all these messages pop
up and it kind of goes into limp mode. But
it wasn't even limping. It wasn't going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So that's scary.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I managed to coast off where you get back out,
So if the people that take that way know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So Bridge area, if you're.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Going west on twenty six and you exit at COSC,
you come around the curve and you get on Cosgrove.
If you stay in that lane, you get back on
twenty six going in the opposite direction. So right there,
there's a little triangle that I managed to get the
car over into here. But these dump trucks and these
(05:16):
people are flying by me at seventy miles an hour,
and from my view in the rear view mirror, you
can see all those cars that are getting on the
opposite direction. They're coming right at you. And then you know,
jerking the wheel.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
At the west's a booty clincher.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm like, I am out of here. So I got
out of the car and waited for the tow truck
out in the grass way off the roadside. But it
was hotter than hell.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hm. That's that is a dangerous intersection area, pull on,
pull off, and then that north bridge there's nowhere to
even stop. So you got lucky with that little.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, So that was my ride home yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That's terrible.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We're covering this morning's Time stories. What do Americans think
about the US striking Iran? More Americans oppose strikes on
Iran then support it. That's according to a new NBC
News Decision Desk poll that found forty five percent of
US adults are against these strikes in Iran, compared to
thirty eight percent who support them. Eighteen percent neither support
(06:15):
nor oppose the strikes. Reaction to the air strikes fell
along familiar party lines. Seventy seven percent of Democrats are
against them, while seventy eight percent of Republicans are in favor.
The poll surveyed more than fifty four hundred adults nationwide.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Find it interesting it's okay to be at war and
have murder, mayhem and bloodshed when it's Ukraine involved.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, they're all right with Ukraine, and we should support
that and wear their little flag on our lapel and
give them all our money.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
But God forbid, we stand up for Israel. Are Jewish
friends and loved ones America in general, against people who
are chanting death to America.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The insanity against Russia, by the way, I.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Mean, and China, we could go on and on, I mean,
the adversary.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, I bring up Russia because Trump's Putin's puppet, and
look what he's doing in Ukraine. He's Putin's puppet. And
this was a poke in Putin's eye, these attacks on Iran,
and oh no, well, now that they are so just
uncentered and off kilter.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, I know, and look at I always consider the source.
I mean, look who's asking the questions here? Would you
say NBC okay had to come up with something to
fit their narrative.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I suppose I won't even attack NBC. I mean, poles
are stupid. You can't count on them. Well, it's all.
It depends on the methodology, it depends on the way
the questions asked, it depends on which questions asked. It's
like you can slant it any which way you want,
or and even slan it without realizing you're slanning it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Well, and I'm not picking on NBC per se, I
would say yesterday she with the Pete hag Sat Secretary
Defense tear down of all the press yesterday with regards
to this operation in the way that they're handling it
and peddling it frankly at each of their outlets. He
went off about the fuck to the Fox reporter. She's
(08:17):
wound up screaming at him saying that you know, Pete,
he said that you have issues. It was intense yesterday.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, he called out the media to their face in
some very uh.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I mean you have to imagine that flattering words. Yeah,
that was one of his uh, you know, coworkers at
one point that I can't think of the chick's name
right now from Fox that he called out, but it
was I.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Didn't see that particular part of it. Was it Jennifer Griffin.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It might have been it's the chick that has really
short hair that's like white.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Blonde Jennifer Griffin.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh, yeah, I take issue with that. And then she
said you've got issues, and they're screaming back and forth
at each.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It was, yeah, she always seemed to me to be
kind of a lefty wow, and she does a good job,
but she's still.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He literally called her out as one of the worst
and then turned around in the inn when she stood
up for herself and her reporting, and then gave her
a compliment. And so it was interesting. It was at
the very least to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, the problem with the reporting as they're saying, look,
they gave no context to it. So they're all latching
onto this initial assessment that was low confidence, as you
pointed out yesterday, and so wouldn't you think that would
be important to say that, all right, this was only
done by satellite so this is a satellite assessment. This
(09:43):
is nobody that has been on the ground near here.
This is not reconnaissance planes or anything else. This is
only done by satellite. And this is we have low
confidence in the accuracy of this report, says the people
who issued the report, right, and they left all of
that out right.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Low confidence, done twenty four hours out, barely any information
to be had to you know, put all this out
there anyway, PDX said. The Secretary of Defense was right
yesterday when he said, can we take a second and celebrate?
Can we please? The mission was accomplished. It was a victory.
(10:23):
And you know, maybe in some ways you could put
it on the administration for not immediately giving the details
like they laid out yesterday, of the pilots behind the scene,
of the personal side of this, of the thousand plus
people who were involved, of how hard this was to
pull off, and the accuracy. You know, maybe it's on
(10:45):
them for that. But I agree with him. Can we
take a pause here and well, in.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Case you victory, in case you're wondering who's telling the truth,
you know, President Trump or the people pushing this report.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abboss Aragachi says that damage to Iran's
nuclear sites was serious. He says a detailed assessment of
the damage is being carried out by the experts from
(11:13):
the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, but that the damage
was serious. So they don't even know the full extent
of the damage. Yet, how the hell do these Democrats
know what the full extent of the damage is? And
I guess you could argue also the Trump administration. But this,
Aragachi goes on to say, now the discussion of demanding
(11:33):
damages and the necessity of providing them has been placed
as one of the most important issues on the country's
diplomatic agenda. Ran wants reparations, Yeah, reparations for yes, Iran
wants to be paid back for the damage that's been
to their country. And by the way, he says that
(11:57):
they are that the uh nuclear sites have been seriously damaged.
This is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi. There you go.
But they'll ignore that too. So what do Republican and
Democrat senators think about the Iran strike? After receiving an
intel briefing yesterday. Democratic and Republican senators are sharing different views,
(12:21):
of course, on the Iranian strikes. After an Intel briefing
earlier yesterday, Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas says he learned
the US air strikes and Iranian nuclear facilities were an
extraordinary success. Cotton added that the vital components within the
chain for Iran to build a nuke were destroyed. Meanwhile,
(12:41):
Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy says Iran's nuclear program has been damaged,
but not obliterated, as President Trump maintains. Murphy noted Director
of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard was notably absent from the briefing,
so he's trying to use implication here. By the way,
(13:01):
Tulsi Gabbard sent out a statement saying she fully supports
President Trump's assessment of all of this. So there's not
some split between Tulsi Gabbard and President Trump, like Chris
Murphy is trying to intimate.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Chris Murphy's a clown.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well he's a Democrat. Sorry, I can't, I mean, can
we really ignore it anymore? I used to try, you know,
like and I still do. I try to be fair.
It's somatic. Things are so ridiculous, ridiculous that you just can't.
I mean, you have to call out the ridiculousness of it.
I'm not going along with that. To be diplomatic, well.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And you know, to be fair. Tulsi Gabbert at one
time was a Democrat, right, she walked away from the left.
Maybe this Chris Murphy ought to too, and many others
who may be listening right now, Well.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
They seem very comfortable where they are. The people that
have that are thinkers and assess the situation and are
flexible in their assessment of things. They all walked. The
ones that are left are the ones that are buying
into all this and are happy to go and promote it.
(14:15):
Hope you're doing well this morning, getting ready for the weekend.
A Rhode Island animal rescue group is seeking a new
home for a twenty year old parrot with a vocabulary
politely described as rated are. The Forever Pause Animal Shelter
in Fall River, Rhode Island, set on social media that
the bird, named Hendrix, came from a home where he
(14:37):
was not being fed proper food, so that he's mostly
naked as a result of the malnutrition. But that's not
the only problem with the bird. The shelter says, if
you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
They have Jackson the birds.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
The rescue explained Hendricks's vocabulary is largely made up of
curse words and slurs. Sometimes when you give him something,
he'll say thank you. If you call him a pretty bird,
he'll say thank you. He'll say good morning baby. That's
as far as the niceties go. The rest of its
slurs cusses things I can't repeat on camera. One shelter
(15:20):
worker told the local TV.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Station that is that is hilarious. Poor bird first of all,
for not even having its feathers and not being fed.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, well, he's regrowing his feathers. They've got him back
on a nutritious diet. He's regrowing his feathers, but they
can't do anything about his cussing. I have had it
with these snakes, honest boy.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Too. About we can't have a station parrot. That would
be fun, would it, Yes, I'll tell you what though.
We would get in trouble though, because we'd have to,
you know, bleep him and put them in the other room.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish I could remember. For the longest time, I
remembered what their names were, but now it escapes me.
But the I don't know if it's still there. But
there was an alligator farm down in Saint Augustine, like
south of Saint Augustine, over by the Old Sea World
or whatever it's called there, and you go through and
(16:25):
it's like a raised decking right where you walk through
this place, and they hold out chickens on the end
of poles, and the alligators all jump out of the
water try to get the chickens. It's a weird place.
But there was two macaws up there talking to each
other and just sitting on their perch, and there's so
many people coming through there though. Their vocabulary was awesome
(16:47):
and it sounded like they were holding conversations. And let's
call them Salm and Dave. That wasn't their names, but
I'm like, that is so cool. And I kind of
like fell in love with these birds. And then shortly
after we left, a hurricane came through there and they're like, oh,
there's major damage to the whatever the name of the
alligator place was, and I'm like Sam and Dave, oh no,
(17:10):
And I actually that was my first reaction, was worrying
about these two macaus because they were so cool and
just being exposed to so many people. Their vocabulary. It
was awesome. So you have to wonder, you know, with
this parrot, who who he was hanging out with.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Thanks for listening to the Charleston Morning News podcast. Catch

You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to

Speaker 2 (00:11):
President Trump says this Big Beautiful Bill is the most
important legislation in US history, and an event meant to

by working Americans wearing the uniforms of their employers. Trump
said the spending bill would benefit the middle class americans

measure passed the House and now sits in the Senate,
where Republicans can only afford to lose three votes.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Blue collar boom is what they're calling the Big Beautiful Bill.
Blue collar boom. So, I think a lot of people
don't know what's in the Big Beautiful Bill for say big.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I think a lot of the people working on it
don't know what's in it?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well and are they do they have? Also could they
possibly lose the three votes that are needed. I mean,
we talked this week about five names that were actually

to get kicked back over to the House and be passed.
And there are people in the House, including Marjorie Taylor

(01:54):
also this salt. So you have on the right some
defense actors who are like, no, we're not supporting this
unless you give us our salt deduction.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So that's a funny. Interesting we didn't hear about salt before.
Now when it came to the budget, well.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Can talk about you all about it. I mean they tried,
they've tried this before, so this didn't come out of
the blue, but you know the media never picked up
on it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, bigger paychecks for hard working Americans. This is one
of the many things they keep touting in the big
beautiful bill with regards to Trump and the administration and
the average increase in take home pay. They say is
over ten thousand dollars a year. I certainly could use that.
When they say historic tax relief, I questioned that, Okay,
(02:45):
you know what are we talking about here? We all
could use some relief. Fifteen percent tax cut to Americans
earning between thirty thousand and eighty thousand dollars per year.
Certainly we have all heard the new tax on tips
and overtime, which they estimate saves over time and tipped
workers about two thousand dollars annually. And the seniors, I
(03:11):
think really affects so many of you know, our boomer population.
They I don't think are going very deep into explaining that.
They just say it's unprecedented financial relief for our seniors.
Speaker 2 (03:24):

The poll surveyed more than fifty four hundred adults nationwide.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Find it interesting it's okay to be at war and
have murder, mayhem and bloodshed when it's Ukraine involved.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, they're all right with Ukraine, and we should support
that and wear their little flag on our lapel and
give them all our money.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
But God forbid, we stand up for Israel. Are Jewish
friends and loved ones America in general, against people who
are chanting death to America.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The insanity against Russia, by the way, I.
Speaker 3 (07:02):

the adversary.

Well, I bring up Russia because Trump's Putin's puppet, and
look what he's doing in Ukraine. He's Putin's puppet. And
this was a poke in Putin's eye, these attacks on Iran,

It might have been it's the chick that has really

Speaker 2 (08:47):

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh, yeah, I take issue with that. And then she
said you've got issues, and they're screaming back and forth

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It was, yeah, she always seemed to me to be

Can we please? The mission was accomplished. It was a victory.
(10:23):
And you know, maybe in some ways you could put
it on the administration for not immediately giving the details
like they laid out yesterday, of the pilots behind the scene,
of the personal side of this, of the thousand plus
people who were involved, of how hard this was to
pull off, and the accuracy. You know, maybe it's on
(10:45):
them for that. But I agree with him. Can we
take a pause here and well, in.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Case you victory, in case you're wondering who's telling the truth,
you know, President Trump or the people pushing this report.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abboss Aragachi says that damage to Iran's
nuclear sites was serious. He says a detailed assessment of
the damage is being carried out by the experts from
(11:13):
the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, but that the damage
was serious. So they don't even know the full extent
of the damage. Yet, how the hell do these Democrats
know what the full extent of the damage is? And
I guess you could argue also the Trump administration. But this,
Aragachi goes on to say, now the discussion of demanding
(11:33):
damages and the necessity of providing them has been placed
as one of the most important issues on the country's
diplomatic agenda. Ran wants reparations, Yeah, reparations for yes, Iran
wants to be paid back for the damage that's been
to their country. And by the way, he says that
(11:57):
they are that the uh nuclear sites have been seriously damaged.
This is Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi. There you go.
But they'll ignore that too. So what do Republican and
Democrat senators think about the Iran strike? After receiving an
intel briefing yesterday. Democratic and Republican senators are sharing different views,
(12:21):
of course, on the Iranian strikes. After an Intel briefing
earlier yesterday, Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas says he learned
the US air strikes and Iranian nuclear facilities were an
extraordinary success. Cotton added that the vital components within the
chain for Iran to build a nuke were destroyed. Meanwhile,
(12:41):
Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy says Iran's nuclear program has been damaged,
but not obliterated, as President Trump maintains. Murphy noted Director
of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard was notably absent from the briefing,
so he's trying to use implication here. By the way,
(13:01):
Tulsi Gabbard sent out a statement saying she fully supports
President Trump's assessment of all of this. So there's not
some split between Tulsi Gabbard and President Trump, like Chris
Murphy is trying to intimate.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Chris Murphy's a clown.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well he's a Democrat. Sorry, I can't, I mean, can
we really ignore it anymore? I used to try, you know,
like and I still do. I try to be fair.
It's somatic. Things are so ridiculous, ridiculous that you just can't.
I mean, you have to call out the ridiculousness of it.
I'm not going along with that. To be diplomatic, well.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And you know, to be fair. Tulsi Gabbert at one
time was a Democrat, right, she walked away from the left.
Maybe this Chris Murphy ought to too, and many others
who may be listening right now, Well.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
They seem very comfortable where they are. The people that
have that are thinkers and assess the situation and are
flexible in their assessment of things. They all walked. The
ones that are left are the ones that are buying
into all this and are happy to go and promote it.
(14:15):
Hope you're doing well this morning, getting ready for the weekend.
A Rhode Island animal rescue group is seeking a new
home for a twenty year old parrot with a vocabulary
politely described as rated are. The Forever Pause Animal Shelter
in Fall River, Rhode Island, set on social media that
the bird, named Hendrix, came from a home where he
(14:37):
was not being fed proper food, so that he's mostly
naked as a result of the malnutrition. But that's not
the only problem with the bird. The shelter says, if
you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
They have Jackson the birds.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
The rescue explained Hendricks's vocabulary is largely made up of
curse words and slurs. Sometimes when you give him something,
he'll say thank you. If you call him a pretty bird,
he'll say thank you. He'll say good morning baby. That's
as far as the niceties go. The rest of its
slurs cusses things I can't repeat on camera. One shelter
(15:20):
worker told the local TV.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Station that is that is hilarious. Poor bird first of all,
for not even having its feathers and not being fed.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, well, he's regrowing his feathers. They've got him back
on a nutritious diet. He's regrowing his feathers, but they
can't do anything about his cussing. I have had it
with these snakes, honest boy.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Too. About we can't have a station parrot. That would
be fun, would it, Yes, I'll tell you what though.
We would get in trouble though, because we'd have to,
you know, bleep him and put them in the other room.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish I could remember. For the longest time, I
remembered what their names were, but now it escapes me.
But the I don't know if it's still there. But
there was an alligator farm down in Saint Augustine, like
south of Saint Augustine, over by the Old Sea World
or whatever it's called there, and you go through and
(16:25):
it's like a raised decking right where you walk through
this place, and they hold out chickens on the end
of poles, and the alligators all jump out of the
water try to get the chickens. It's a weird place.
But there was two macaws up there talking to each
other and just sitting on their perch, and there's so
many people coming through there though. Their vocabulary was awesome
(16:47):
and it sounded like they were holding conversations. And let's
call them Salm and Dave. That wasn't their names, but
I'm like, that is so cool. And I kind of
like fell in love with these birds. And then shortly
after we left, a hurricane came through there and they're like, oh,
there's major damage to the whatever the name of the
alligator place was, and I'm like Sam and Dave, oh no,
(17:10):
And I actually that was my first reaction, was worrying
about these two macaus because they were so cool and
just being exposed to so many people. Their vocabulary. It
was awesome. So you have to wonder, you know, with
this parrot, who who he was hanging out with.
