Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, this is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome in Monday edition. This is that time of year,
Shelby Roberts just talking about the bridge inspections where you
realize how massive the Ravenel Bridge is because you see
the quark crews. These you know, tiny they look like
tiny little bugs up there repelling from the cable stays
on the bridge, So be mindful of that. Welcome in.
(00:28):
As I mentioned, how was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It was, Uh, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I feel like that every day a week ago.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh man, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, hey, you won't be repelling down the cable stays
at the Ravenel Bridge for a job, so maybe that's
a good thing.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, we won't be doing that, but we're covering this
morning's top stories. At least six people are injured, some seriously,
after what the FBI says was a terror attack against
people marching for Israeli's being held captive by Hamas. This
happened in Boulder, Colorado. The FBI office in Colorado says
the suspect who has been arrested, used a makeshift flamethrower
(01:09):
and other incendiary devices against the marchers. The FBI identified
the suspect as forty five year old Mohammed Solomon. The
FBI said he was yelling pro Palestine phrases during the attack.
And by the way, he's here illegally.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
This is so obviously upsetting and I can only pray
for these victims. And this is a group they say,
that comes out routinely in that area. And you got
to wonder if this was something that clearly was a plotted,
planned this attack. Yeah, sort of sitting and waiting, waiting
(01:48):
for an opportune time.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, he just had some maltov cocktails that he decided
to just at that very rash moment in time, decide
to hurrow after these people.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Of course, as this early in the morning, that's fine, geez.
The point being, first of all, illegally in our country.
Here's somebody. You got to wonder how many sickos are
going to be, have been and may continue to be
laying in wait to take it, you know, an opportune
(02:20):
moment to attack. How disgusting and awful.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well, that's why everybody has to remain vigilant. And he
was here on a visa. He broke the terms of
his visa and it expired and the Biden administration gave
him another chance and said, okay, we'll forget that here,
renew your work visa and all this, get yourself legal again.
(02:44):
And then he did it again, and so he was.
He overstayed his work visa, he broke the terms of
his visa, so therefore the law twice and he's here
at the moment illegally. And then he attacked this crowd
that we're marching for the hostages still being held by Hamas.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I would say to pro Palestinian people out there, exactly
what message that this man sent? Do you agree with?
This isn't I mean, I don't understand if you're out there,
you know, marching for pro Palestine and then he's chanting
(03:29):
the very same things you are. What is it that
you would support for a man to take to the
streets and murder people by fire.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well it's a good question. I mean, none of them
will publicly say they support him, but I mean, obviously
there's all kinds of support.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And it's the same for the guy last week who
opened fire and killed two beautiful people, you know, in
the streets of DC coming out of the Jewish Museum.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, there's pro Palestine sympathizers in jumas sympathizers not only
in you know, the West Bank, but here in the
United States.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Sadly enough, This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Running down today's top stories. Welcome in six point thirty here.
On a Monday edition of.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The show, the White House says a trade deal with
China is coming. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen told CBS's Face
the Nation that President Trump and Chinese President she are
expected to talk about trade policy as soon as this week.
Besson said that he expects the two leaders to iron
out key differences in a phone call. Previously, Besson said
trade talks with China appeared to be a bit stalled.
(04:44):
White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett was asked about the
status of trade negotiations on ABC's This Week. He said
the trade team has been focused one hundred percent like
a laser beam on the China matter. Acid added that
he expects President Trump will update the tariff play. This week,
Trump accused China violating its trade deal and announced he
(05:04):
was doubling steel in aluminum tariffs. China also fired back
and said the United States is the one that broke
the trade deal.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh boy, I'm glad to see that this is coming
to fruition. So, you know, I don't know if I
need to. Would you believe what China's saying? I don't
trust China that we broke the trade deal.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I don't you know. We'll have to see how it
plays out. I mean, both sides are kind of saber
rattling in the negotiation. Right, China says, if the US
insists on its own way and continues to damage China's interest,
China will continue to take resolute and forceful measures to
safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Whatever that means. They need our economy.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well, they're complaining about AI chip export controls, interesting software sales,
and the revocation of Chinese student visas. Now, now, these
are all ways in which they spy on US.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Mm hmm. That's why I find it interesting pushing back
on tech that they wield as weapons against US, at
least potentially.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Not only tech, but these you know, some of these students,
if not all of them. I mean you have to
wonder they're controlled by the CCP. So if the CCP
comes and says, hey, we want you to do this
for us. They're more than likely going to do it.
They're not going to push back or they might be disappeared.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This will be interesting to see if we actually hear
the inner negotiations with regards to those key points, meaning
the AI chips, the students. Are we really going to.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, no, we're not going to hear the inner negotiations.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well, with the kids, we will.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
What do you mean with the kids, meaning.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
With the university students. I would imagine that would be
more public versus, you know, the chip negotiations. I mean, look,
Trump jumped immediately in his team in this administration to
get chips made in America with deals within his first
(07:18):
It was like hundred hours. I wasn't even back from
covering the inauguration in DC before he was doing a
press conference with one of the major manufacturers of these chips.
Then it was I believe it was a billion dollar deal,
if not a multi one. I thought, Man, this guy's
working this quick.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah. Well, I don't think we're going to hear the
inner negotiations. We're going to hear whatever kind of statements
that China makes or the United States makes about them,
but we're not going to know what went on behind
closed doors.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well we'll see how long this with this takes. I mean,
obviously they're China's dragging their feet on purpose hoping that
tariffs will kick in. Here people will start, you know,
really getting loud and up in arms about prices, people
including the Democrat Party on down.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Or maybe they're watching the courts and how the courts
have been trying to stymy this administration with the tariffs.
Maybe that's what they're keeping their eye on.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Well, I'm sure that one has everything to do with you.
I mean, it's all it's all part of their tactic.
You have to you have to imagine, well.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Look, the Chinese are tough, and they're tough negotiators, and
you know that's this is the world stage. This is
why this last administration was so awful because everybody just
walked all over them. You know, these are not meek
people that we're dealing with. And so it's not just
(08:49):
going to be all rosy and oh they respect Trump
and all of a sudden everything's good again. I mean,
it's going to be a fight and it's going to
continue to be a fight. So we'll see how it
works out and who wins the fight.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Use headlines and the talk you need. This is Charleston
This Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four
to three WSC.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
We appreciate listening this morning. I hope you had a
good weekend. A severe geomagnetic storm could bring the Northern
lights and technological problems to the US this week. Andaa's
Space Weather Prediction Center said a powerful coronal mass ejection
erupted from the Sun on Friday sounds painful. The agency
(09:37):
said geomagnetic storm conditions could reach level G four and
impact Earth through tomorrow. Along with the Northern lights, experts
say it could also cause detrimental impacts to some critical
infrastructure technology.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I noticed we were in the zone. I went out
between midnight and two am to be able to see
maybe with your phone CA camera. Did you realize there's
some kind of night mode on your phone camera on
your cell phone. Yeah, I mean nightmode to me is
turning off the flash and you know so anyway, I've
not seen the night mode. Went out there in the
(10:14):
two o'clock hours this morning, no joke, and turned the
camera on and just to see. I didn't see anything, though,
but the I don't know if this has anything to
do with that. I've got an internet outage at my
own home. I'm like, is this is one enough to
do with the other?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, I reported it, and of course Exfinity reported back,
we don't have any outages in your area.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Like, okay, maybe it was due to the coronal mass ejection.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Do you like saying sounds painful?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It does, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Let's hope it isn't painful to our attach well.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
The sun, you know, the layman's terms is sun spots, right,
these flare ups and it sends out radiation and geomagnetic waves,
and it does screw with communications and we rely on
those communications more and more and more. So I think
we'll probably start seeing more of these interruptions and outages.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I believe in about a week here in the Low
Country there's a group of people and I don't know
how much I can say about because I don't know
if it's public yet, but they're going to be meeting
to talk about how to help protect us in our
infrastructure from things like this that and EMP attacks, because
absolutely woefully inadequate with regards to protecting critical assets.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
No, if you think about it, we're kind of in
still almost the horse and buggy days of you know,
this technology that we rely on and that we've totally
transformed our systems over.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
To power tech, all the tech that it takes to
provide water, I mean critical infrastructure.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, everything relies on you know, some kind of circuit
board or another, a computer or another that can be
interrupted by these things. Listen all day.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Get the app now at ninety four to threesc dot com.
Back to Kelly and Blaze six forty five.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Welcome and Monday edition the show. We'll get to chuck
your forecast and the roadways.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
In moments recovering this morning's tom stories, Democrats saying President
trumps so called Big Beautiful Bill will kill Americans. Connecticut
Senator Chris Murphy told CNN State of the Union that
when people lose their healthcare, you are much more at
risk of earlier death. The White House is pushing back.
Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought was on
(12:39):
the same show and said these are much needed reforms
to the programs that will cut the deficit. The multimillion
dollar tax and spending package narrowly passed the House and
the Senate will now debate the measure where Republicans can
only afford to lose three votes. After the Senate vote,
House lawmakers will have to approve changes to the bill.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So this is something with the cake cuts that keeps
getting tossed around, and frankly, miss people are being misinformed
about it. Speaker Johnson over the weekend saying, and this
is the pushback over the able bodied people being kicked
off of Medicaid who could work. It's the work requirements.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
They're saying it's fraud and that they're getting, you know,
fraudulent benefits and they're cutting back on the fraud to
try to save money and help save these programs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So you just have to wonder people defending this. It's like, wait,
what is the difference between you and able bodied person
going to work every day versus someone who is refusing to.
So this is Speaker Johnson's point, they're choosing this.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, Chris Murphy says that they're killing people.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well that bono too, I mean the Usaid in cuts
to DOGE and any cuts. It's like, of all of
all things, we're killing people just by trying to get
rid of waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, they're always good at ramping up the rhetoric current.
They yes, So now it can't be a debate over
fraud in medicaid or what the proper amount should be
for the medicaid budget. It has to be that you're
killing people.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And how dare you require able bodied people to go
to work? Maybe it's the way that they frame it.
Maybe we should you know, flip it and say, well,
why should I go to work? And instead just siphon
off the system like these other millions of people do
oh wish.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, there's plenty of that doesn't work. There's plenty of
people that did say that, Well.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It doesn't work. We're getting to an implosion point where
they're more takers than makers.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Well that would be thanks to people like the senator
who just said that we're killing people, Chris Murphy.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well also thanks to no thanks frankly, to people who
continue to vote buffoons into office like that.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well, it hasn't been an honest debate the whole way through.
And you would expect that to a measure, you know,
to a certain measure from both sides. But I would say,
you know, one side is way more dramatic than the
other in their rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, and look what sells drama.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Well, it's that's a shame. Well, it sells to the
left because the you know, liberalism is an emotional ideology,
I would argue, So.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Drama fits right feelings, not facts.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So drama fits right in with their you know, it
prings them on their emotions.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, so how do you win the argument with facts
over feelings when it comes to a crowd that apparently
just shuts down because it doesn't fit the feelings The fact, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Certain to a certain extent, you're not going to change
their minds, at least not a lot of them. You
could do anything in this world and we've even seen it,
and nothing's going to change their mind. So, you know,
I don't know how you deal with that. You keep
pushing back and fighting the good fight and doing what
you can, but I don't I wouldn't count on changing
everybody's mind all of a sudden, everyone's gonna wake up,
(16:07):
you know, and be woke to the fact to use
their lingo that they've been peddling you a bunch of
bs this whole time.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Thanks for listening to the Charleston Morning Use podcast. Catch
Kelly and Blaze weekday mornings from six to nine

Of course, as this early in the morning, that's fine, geez.
The point being, first of all, illegally in our country.
Here's somebody. You got to wonder how many sickos are

Speaker 3 (10:46):
It does, doesn't it.

Let's hope it isn't painful to our attach well.

board or another, a computer or another that can be
interrupted by these things. Listen all day.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Welcome and Monday edition the show. We'll get to chuck
your forecast and the roadways.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
In moments recovering this morning's tom stories, Democrats saying President
trumps so called Big Beautiful Bill will kill Americans. Connecticut
Senator Chris Murphy told CNN State of the Union that
when people lose their healthcare, you are much more at
risk of earlier death. The White House is pushing back.
Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought was on
(12:39):
the same show and said these are much needed reforms
to the programs that will cut the deficit. The multimillion
dollar tax and spending package narrowly passed the House and
the Senate will now debate the measure where Republicans can
only afford to lose three votes. After the Senate vote,
House lawmakers will have to approve changes to the bill.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So this is something with the cake cuts that keeps
getting tossed around, and frankly, miss people are being misinformed
about it. Speaker Johnson over the weekend saying, and this
is the pushback over the able bodied people being kicked
off of Medicaid who could work. It's the work requirements.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
They're saying it's fraud and that they're getting, you know,
fraudulent benefits and they're cutting back on the fraud to
try to save money and help save these programs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So you just have to wonder people defending this. It's like, wait,
what is the difference between you and able bodied person
going to work every day versus someone who is refusing to.
So this is Speaker Johnson's point, they're choosing this.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, Chris Murphy says that they're killing people.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well that bono too, I mean the Usaid in cuts
to DOGE and any cuts. It's like, of all of
all things, we're killing people just by trying to get
rid of waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, they're always good at ramping up the rhetoric current.
They yes, So now it can't be a debate over
fraud in medicaid or what the proper amount should be
for the medicaid budget. It has to be that you're
killing people.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And how dare you require able bodied people to go
to work? Maybe it's the way that they frame it.
Maybe we should you know, flip it and say, well,
why should I go to work? And instead just siphon
off the system like these other millions of people do
oh wish.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, there's plenty of that doesn't work. There's plenty of
people that did say that, Well.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It doesn't work. We're getting to an implosion point where
they're more takers than makers.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Well that would be thanks to people like the senator
who just said that we're killing people, Chris Murphy.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well also thanks to no thanks frankly, to people who
continue to vote buffoons into office like that.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well, it hasn't been an honest debate the whole way through.
And you would expect that to a measure, you know,
to a certain measure from both sides. But I would say,
you know, one side is way more dramatic than the
other in their rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, and look what sells drama.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Well, it's that's a shame. Well, it sells to the
left because the you know, liberalism is an emotional ideology,
I would argue, So.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Drama fits right feelings, not facts.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
So drama fits right in with their you know, it
prings them on their emotions.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, so how do you win the argument with facts
over feelings when it comes to a crowd that apparently
just shuts down because it doesn't fit the feelings The fact, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Certain to a certain extent, you're not going to change
their minds, at least not a lot of them. You
could do anything in this world and we've even seen it,
and nothing's going to change their mind. So, you know,
I don't know how you deal with that. You keep
pushing back and fighting the good fight and doing what
you can, but I don't I wouldn't count on changing
everybody's mind all of a sudden, everyone's gonna wake up,
(16:07):
you know, and be woke to the fact to use
their lingo that they've been peddling you a bunch of
bs this whole time.
