I was telling my wife, I'm so glad our kids
are finally out of school, because I think it would
kill me. Yea, at this point in my life literally
get out a lot. I remember every time they'd go
back to school, you fall deathly ill within the first
week or two with who knows, Heaven only knows what
they're dragging home with them.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
And what is the benefit of oil of a regano.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's the anti microbial bacterial. It can't hurt me, it
can only help me. So I'm I'm adding it to
the list. And every time I talk with someone. I
was talking with a family member last night who was talking,
you know, she ran down the regiment of her friends
who were sick and.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
What they had.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And you know, because every time you're sick, people want
to know, you know, what were the symptoms. And there
seems to be two camps going around out there. One
of them is more of a congestion type thing and
another seems to be more of a digestive kind of thing.
So I don't know. I mean, the government's out here
warning us of throughout the summer of three different things
(01:58):
between RSV and all the other monkey pocks.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Maybe you got monkey pox.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Oh god, someone actually texted me about monkey pox.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I was like, wait, what are the symptoms? I mean,
I don't have any kind of pox on me, Like what? Anyway,
I'm happy to you know be above ground here this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You mentioned a threat of monkey pox. One of the
headlines that popped up when I was away underneath my
coverage for two days was the flirt strain. Now, this
is one of the new subvariants the CDC's warning about
of omercron in all the COVID cases that they have
tracked for July. So I'm like, really, I feel like
(02:41):
they're trolling us now, the flirt strain. So, I don't know.
I guess I shouldn't have been out at two events
over the weekend. What are the four events over two days?
Hugging a bunch of sweaty people? Now well spreading the
flirt virus or got it picked it up? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Well, I'm sorry to hear that you have monkey pox?
Stop what.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I do not?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You know who else shouldn't have been out at public events?
Our president? Did you hear where he was like his
He thought he was being clever and called him Donald
Dump at this event with Kamala yesterday, dear lord, and
then he got violent again. Did you Yeah? Here, listen
to this.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Let me tell you what our project twenty five is
beat the hell.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
And he goes, I mean it listens. See oh, and
you remember all this about how, oh, we have to
tame down the inflammatory language, you Republicans, and they there's
an assassination attempt on the former president. And there's our
president saying beata, I mean it, clenching his fists in
(03:59):
anger when you said that maybe you shouldn't have been
at this public events. People, there's someone else who shouldn't
be at public events.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
All.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The latest election coverage is on ninety four to three USC.
This is Charleston's Morning News. Back to Kelly and Blaze.
Today is kool Aid Day, and not as in drink
the kool aid.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I was just thinking, aren't we drinking enoughol aid?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Kamala kool aid now? The actual kool aid. Kool Aid
was invented by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska. As a boy,
he worked in his family's general store after school and
experimented with concoctions in his mother's kitchen. Inspired by a
new powdered dessert mix called Jello that came in six
delicious flavors. After high school, Perkins produced a bottled concentrated
(04:50):
drink mix called fruit Smack, which also came in six
delicious flavors. In nineteen twenty seven, he developed a method
of removing the liquid from the fruit Smack due to
problems with bottling, so the remaining powder could be packaged
in envelopes. He designed and printed the new packaging himself,
along with a new name to go along with it.
(05:12):
He named the new product kool Aid.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I was thinking, when we did get to drink kool aid,
what was the flavor of choice? Maybe cherry or something red?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I mean probably grape was a popular one.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So much sugar we just.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, I wasn't allowed either.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
We had lemonade really was our Yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Was what was the old time lemonade? Minute made? Not
minute made? Uh?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It was it?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Literally?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Was it called old time? Yeah? I think it was
called old time. It was about the only powdered drink
mix that we had in our house. We weren't even
allowed to powdered. We had bosco. If you wanted chocolate milk,
did we weren't even allowed to have the nest quick
or whatever it was called.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, we were like hersh syrup and regular milk.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Make it yourself maybe once in a while, but there
was this syrup with a bunch of vitamins in it
with a chocolate flavor called Bosco. So it was Bosco
and old time lemonade in our house.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three WSC. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You know, we were just talking about white people, tacos
and the whole racist tropes at Democrats. The ticket is
tossing around like candy at a Christmas parade. Ye last
hour on Gordon Deal, he was interviewing a journal journalist
from the Wall Street Journal reporter who.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Actually pinned a piece.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This is apparently I guess news that the two vice
presidential candidates have a drink of choice in common and
it is diet mountain dew. So jd Vance and Tampon
Tim both talk about in the camp adrial drinking diet
mountain dew and I'm like, this is journalism.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, the reason it's a topic is because jd Vance
was attacked and called weird for drinking diet mountain dew.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So now it's okay because Tampon Tim drinks it too.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It points out the hypocrisy.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Kelly geez Well and then the journal gets into, well,
it's a blue collar drink and it's relatable to Middle America.
And I'm like, if anyone is voting on a ticket
over what kind of soft drink, you know, their drink
of choices, you got serious issues.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
We have serious issues, a brink of war, you know.
The just the insanity of it just really made me.
I mean, we were at one point in America, you know,
think about it in elections where some people would actually
vote vote for things like this because the tickets were
eerily similar. Now they couldn't be farther right and left
(07:53):
if you will. One is freedom, in my opinion, the
other is communism and socialism.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But they don't know. People do not know. There's even
proof of that. There was a poll out that asked
democrats specifically and independence, and I was saying this to
my wife the other night. I'm like, you know, if
you're not watching this, you'd never know, And the mainstream
media is not telling you. And most people are not
watching listening to shows like most people on the left
(08:21):
or maybe even independents aren't listening to shows like ours,
or watching Fox.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
News or Trump's press conferences, right.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And so therefore they don't know, and I pointed that out.
And then the very next day, yesterday, I believe, they
released this poll where they interviewed these people and asked
about the former policy positions. And I say former because
who the hell knows what they are now, But she
seems to be changing them all and denying her past
positions of Kamala Harris. And it was like seventy eight percent.
(08:51):
The numbers were like seventy eight, eighty two percent, sixty
eight percent, And it goes down the list of how
many people were not aware of each of those policy
of each of those policies, three quarters of the people
consistently down this whole list, and there was like ten
to fifteen issues that they were totally unaware of her position.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
On should we do an odds maker and a bet
on her you know, expected speech later today on the
economy in Raleigh, North Carolina to literally mirror Trump's plan
to defeat you know, kamolonomics or Biden inflation, whatever you
want to call it. I mean, he's all about unleashing
American energy. She also going to be because now she's
(09:31):
pro fracking. He's all about, you know, raining in the
wasteful federal spending. How's she going to flip that script?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well, you know my forecast for what hers this not
for not only this speech, but all of her speeches,
in all of her If she ever decides to talk
to the media upcoming interviews, it's all going to be
lies in gaslighting.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, she's all about cutting taxes and rebalancing trade. And
she's I mean even her ye ladies, gimpee commercials stopping
at legal immigration. To me, there's nobody the Independence polled
and everybody else out there, we're all paying twenty five
percent or more. I mean, their economic polities have totally failed.
Trump trounced all of this, he continues to And I mean,
(10:16):
and where are you on destabilizing you know, ending these
destabilizing wars? She is, She is just to me, exposing
herself every time she speaks. If there was something that
you could have done about it, you should have done
about it already. So how do you explain that, Oh wait,
you don't have to because you're not sitting down for press.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Cooffece. Well, it may come from the art of war,
I think if I remember correctly. But you know, in business,
there's an attack that you take where you say, attack
your own weakness, so you look for the weaknesses within
and then you attack them yourself, and that's a version
of that. So they know that she's weak in all
these issues. So in other words, they attack it by
(10:58):
flipping the switch and denying it and saying we're for
all these things. So they're attacking her weaknesses themselves by
coming out and saying, oh no, I'm for fracking. Oh no,
I'm for this, and I'm for that.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, well, where were you the last four years? Prove
it otherwise? I mean, you've had how many How long
are you allowed to be at a job where you're
supposed to prove yourself and then you don't for four years.
I can't think of a single job that you could keep,
not one.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, the thing is, and you know, they have a
little bit of a point to say, these were Joe
Biden's policies. This was Joe Biden's administrations. He's the vice president,
and the vice president everybody knows, has no power, right
and they don't set policy. They don't have any power.
They vote when there's a tie and that's about it.
Or step into power when the president's incapacitated or no
(11:50):
longer able to hold office, and that's it. So, but
what you can blame her for is championing those policies
and lying about those policies and saying that they're working
and that she's all for those policies and that Joe
Biden's great. She even did it yesterday with Joe Biden,
you know, the great President and all these things. So
(12:10):
while she's distancing herself from those policies, she's still championing
Joe Biden. She lied about the state of his health
to the country, She supported all of those crazy positions
that they now say, oh no, she had nothing to
do with. She went out there and championed them and
then took it even steps further and said that they
(12:31):
were working and that this was a great and they
were doing great work and tried to take credit for
it while it was being done. So now they can't
go back, well I suppose they can, because that's exactly
what they're doing, right, go back and say, oh, wow,
she had nothing to do with.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That height of hypocrisy when it comes to this and
people are tired of being gaslighted and lied.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
To, sleazy politickery or politrickery is probably a better word.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This is Charleston's Morning You with Kelly and Plays.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I promised to our engineer Paul Hendrix that I do
him as solid this morning.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh my, he didn't put his glasses off for those.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
He was on his way into work yesterday morning on
the Ravenel Bridge. You know how he drives that big
old company issued F three point fifty and it broke down.
Oh no, on the Ravenel Bridge. Oh no, yesterday morning.
So he said, you know, cars were whizzing within an
inch of them. You know, crazy people drive. I'm like,
(13:29):
that's a horrible position to be and broke down on
that bridge with traffic just you know, blasting by you
within inches. So he wanted to thank officers Charleston Police
officers Russo, Selkos and Bateman who stopped and came to
the rescue. And we're Paul's heroes yesterday. So thanks to
Charleston Police officers Russo, Selkos and Bateman for helping out
(13:54):
our friend Paul yesterday morning. Broke down on the Ravenel Bridge.
Not an enviable place to be.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Place. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Vice President Kamala Harris is sending an official to Michigan
to meet with Arab American and Muslim leaders over a
request for a ceasefire in Gaze. Osama Sabani, a publisher
of the Arab American News in Durborn, says a campaign
manager is meeting with the group, but could not confirm
who was involved or where the meeting was taking place.
(14:30):
The meeting comes days before the Democratic National Convention, where
demonstrators are expected to gather in March in support of
a ceasefire in US arms embargo. Outside of the event,
climate change driven permafrost melting is pouring mercury deposits into
the Bering Sea. A California research team found that the
(14:50):
release of the medal in Alaska's Yukon River, which has
been stored in the permafrost for a millennia, presents an
environmental and public health hazard to the five million living
in the Arctic zone. The co author of the studies
that it could be a giant mercury bomb in the
Arctic waiting to explode. The house from the classic horror
(15:12):
movie Poltergeist is for sale. The four bedroom, two and
a half bath home on a sixteen thousand score foot
lot in Semi Valley, California, as an asking price of
just under one point two million dollars. In the backyard
is the swimming pool depicted in the climatic scene of
the movie. The original owners of the house promised that
(15:33):
it's not built on top of a cemetery and that
it's not haunted. So if you're a fan of Poultergeist,
here's a chance to buy the house featured in that film.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I feel like we're living in Poltergeist. I don't know
if I need to live there quite literally.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, I don't know. They promised though, that it's not
built on a cemetery and it's not hot.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well, as long as they promise full discorsure.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, oh my gosh. All right, Maybe a good time
