Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yes, you're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four
to three WUSC. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Wow, just looked up two stories on our TV partner
Life five News this morning. The tail cone of the
C seventeen falling into the church parking lot yesterday. Did
you see the pictures of that?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
WHOA Thank goodness that didn't hit a car. Thank goodness,
that didn't hit a person.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Think, good goodness, a train didn't run into the plane.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This yep, the semi truck hauling uh the other the
military piece of equipment in that trainz.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Howitz her mobile vehicle.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I was looking up trying to find the price tag
on that before my computer froze here moments ago, and
I just one thank goodness that more you know that
people weren't hurt, that there wasn't more damage. I mean,
you can imagine how catastrophic that could have been. But
then also damage to that piece of equipment and how
(01:06):
much that caught what a hundred million dollars? I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, the little boy and me would be was like,
wouldn't it be cool? Wasn't it cool for those people
that saw that happen.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I mean the videos, if you listen to their audio, they're.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Like, holy eh, you know, yeah, God's that's something to see.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You go in the middle of the afternoon while you're
cruising down fifty two and Goose Creek and like, oh lordie.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Holy smoke a roly so interesting, that's where you went,
little boy Blaze. So in my mind I went to
the train operator in the trucker and my first thought was,
my god, what a horrible day for the trucker and
the train operator. The idea that you don't know if
you're about to lose your life, if you're if the
train's about the derail, I mean, the whole thing just
had to be completely frightening.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Well this is after the fact. I mean, of course
i'd be concerned about that.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But I know when she watched the video four or
five times.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Once you know that that wasn't that nobody was hurt.
It was like, wow, I would like to see that personally.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I mean I did watch it four or five times
looking at how the thing spun around. Is it tore
it on the you know, piece of the equipment and
it spun around, And I thought, oh my god, it
damaged the barrel and I mean poked into the side
of the train car. I mean just the whole thing
was dramatic. I mean, what a day yesterday on the roadways.
(02:28):
Let's hope and pray we don't have any kind of
drama like this unfolding as you had inbound this morning.
We'll check trafficking while they're coming up here at six
' ten. And speaking of drama unfolding, Trump on truth,
there will be no third debate. I'm gonna I'm gonna
tell you that. That's shocking to me. I don't agree
with that, But we'll dig into how you could really
(02:49):
argue both sides of this this morning, at least I could.
I could see why he doesn't want to do it.
He's topping the poles. You know, he can focus more,
you know, acutely when it comes to one on one
courting those coveted independent voters in Middle America.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Who many think he won the debate.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Right, well, he certainly thinks he won the debate. And
you know, we I thought it's about Sebastian gor could
put it well, and we talked about this yesterday. If
you read the transcripts of the debate, Trump won. If
you watched it Kamala one, so you know, I don't
really think Kamala one. But when it comes to a
visual we were expecting a train wreck and got much
(03:35):
more refined.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well that was the point I was making yesterday when
I'm like optics, image is very important in politics.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well, and she nailed it no doubt with that debate.
So what do you think I mean, should Trump have
said no to a third debate? Seven five You can
hit the talkback feature and way in there too.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelley and plays now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Boeing says it's ready to renegotiate after its workers voted
to go on strike. Thousands of aircraft employees at the
manufacturing plants in Seattle and Portland rejected the Boeing contract
offer on Thursday and voted to walk out today. At
midnight Pacific time, union leaders gave their approval to the contract,
which was rejected by roughly ninety five percent of union members.
(04:29):
In a statement, Boeing said, the message was clear that
the tenet of agreement was not acceptable to the members
and they're ready to get back to the table to
reach a new agreement. Tim Scott is calling for an
end to an illegal alien parole program. Senator Scott and
Texas Senator Ted Cruz sent a letter yesterday to Attorney
General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Aleandro Mayorcis. The
(04:54):
Republican lawmakers asked the two to end a parole program
for Cuban Haitian Nicaraguan in Venezuelan aliens. Scott and Cruz
cite reports of widespread fraud and abuse, and they claim
the program also violates federal law. The senators say the
program also incentivizes illegal immigration, including among gang members and
(05:15):
other dangerous criminals. Today is Friday the thirteenth. Well, just
a normal day for many of us Western tradition, and
many slasher movies tell us it could be an unlucky day.
And if you're one of those who don't want to
tempt fate today, then you might want to be careful
not to do things that, according to legend, bring bad luck,
like walking under a ladder, breaking a mirror, opening an
(05:38):
umbrella indoors, and for safe measure, avoid eating cats, especially
black ones.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You had to go there a place, Oh my goodness, well,
I mean the reality of that whole thing behind the
cats and the ducks meme.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, what's really going on in Springfield, Ohio. It
sounds as if Tim's and Tech Center Ted Cruz might
actually be attempting to do something about this, the quote
unquote loophole that the Biden Harris administration is using with
these immigration policies that are hurting American towns and communities.
And shame on. We were just talking about the you know,
(06:16):
I call them propaganda pressed for making this about Trump
or Vance and these comments about cats and ducks. I mean,
it takes away from the overwhelming crisis of these small
communities insert Springfield. It's one of them that went from
you know, sixty thousand residents to another or like twenty
thousand over the last three years plus of Haitian immigrants.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, it's lazy reporting and ABC can fall back on. Well,
we asked the city manager, why don't you send a
reporter out there, your ABC News, Why don't you go
talk to the residents and do some investigative reporting and
find out if there's any truth to this or not
instead of just relying on a city official who would
be biased. They're in charge of the city. What do
(06:58):
you think they're going to say?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I mean, these thinks have been reported. The last year.
There was a Haitian mirgarant that killed an eleven year
old Springfield boy and injured twenty three of his fellow
classmates when they crashed a car into a school bus.
I mean this accident killed an eleven year old that
residents have been speaking out more and more about Haitian
immigrant problems in Springfield. They've even got All they had
(07:21):
to do was google it blaze Springfield New sun is
their web is the website of their local newspaper that's
been around since the eighteen hundreds. Has that actual story,
So that is a factual story. So you know, it's
wrong to deny that these Springfield residents are even taking
to their own social media to sound off about some
things I hadn't even heard about, like grown men taked
(07:44):
naked sink baths in the women's restroom at the grocery store.
I mean, there's a homeless Haitian problem where they have
people camping out in their lawns. There was video that
went viral of a lady who's under one hundred pounds saying,
I'm you know I don't know what to do when
people are teaking to me in a language I don't
understand and throwing mattresses in my yard and I come
to you for help in the city and your resources
(08:06):
are overwhelmed. That's also documented which these reporters could could
actually report that their county health department alone, over the
last three years went from one hundred and fifteen cases
of health issues to you know, add fifteen hundred one
fifteen to fifteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, it's a clash of cultures. It's also the government
getting involved in giving many of these stations vouchers. You know,
the whole goal in the beginning was to revitalize the
city because it was a decaying rust belt city and
they thought that bringing these immigrants in there and giving
them vouchers and giving them help help that they don't
give the residents, the native residents of Springfield any help,
(08:49):
but they do, you know, to the newcomers. So it's
a clash of cultures. And it's also you know, the
government deciding who gets help and who doesn't. And don't
forget they're all doing that with your money and the
money that the residents of Springfield put into the system.
That the receivers did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Not well in shame full circle here, Shame on the
propaganda press for trying to make this a racial issue.
It's about safety and security and there are facts here
to back the real problems up that are not racist tropes.
So shame on them for that.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, yeah, I mean, you know, and it just shows
you what a mess it is. Like I said, you
have the recipients of these benefits in there, and the
residents that are having the problem have been paying their
taxes for years and years and years. They're not getting
any help. So again it's just you know, unfair. And
(09:45):
it goes to the point of assimilation. What is going
to force these immigrants, legal or illegal to assimilate into
American society. If they're not going to assimilate, then I
would are with them. We have a big problem.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Decision twenty twenty four. Kelly and Blaze our ringside for
the main event. This is Charleston This Morning News on
ninety four to three WUSC All right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Hit the top bad feature on the iHeart app free
to download today round radio microphone. Let us know thumbs
up her thumbs down to Trump's decision not to have
another debate. We have been post debate this week breaking
down all of the wins and losses, you know, the
mic drop moments and the missteps. And quite interesting that
we've got slanted CNN out here saying that Trump is
(10:36):
trying to scare the moderate independence, those coveted voters come November.
Where the approach with Harris is she's trying to woo
the suburban independence with checks like twenty five thousand dollars
for a new home buyer, fifty thousand dollars for you know,
new businesses. And I actually ask.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That should fix inflation.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, exactly. Our State treasure Curtis Loft is about this
in a recent sit down because I mean the Harris
Biden administration was ripped by Goya. You know Goya the
I always think of black beans and you know, just
the food product.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
The CEO Bob Yu Nanu was actually on I think
it was Fox Business this week, ripping the administration over
the cost of groceries and the new inflation numbers that
came out, you know, for month over months, saying it
was only this week they said what point seven percent
rise in year over year inflation. He was like, what
a load of Hohoey. I mean those are my words,
(11:32):
not his. His were far more. You know, she just
a viscerated the Vice President, saying that her proposal to
implement price controls is communism. He said, the price of
a can of beans for Goya, you know, hasn't gone
up twenty percent, It's gone up fifty percent, from ninety
nine cents to a dollar fifty. And then he laid
out all the ways with regards to inflation, how it's
(11:55):
been just over the last four years and this administration,
and you know, with the price increases, whether it's fossil
fuels and the Green New Deal and the weakness that's
frankly been invoked with the whole Russia Ukraine war that
drove was a massive driving force behind these higher fertilizer prices.
I mean, he even went into the uptick of prices
(12:15):
for steel and the material think about it. You got
to put the beans in a can. I mean, it
went on. He said, steel prices are going back up,
and that's sixty four percent. He said, that's just been
happening over the last two years. So my post debate
question with our state Treasurer at Curtis LOFTUS was about
her Santa Claus checks for new home buyers and new businesses.
(12:36):
And you know, Trump had a mic drop moment when
he said her plan for the economy was c spot run.
You know, it was like four lines and it was
platitudes and had absolutely no desails loss.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
The script, it's not that inflation has come down, it's
that the high prices that resulted from the flash four
years in inflation, those prices haven't come down. Right, you
go to the grocery store, everything costs just as much
as it did before inflation started coming down. That's the
rate of inflation. Those high prices are still there. And
when I still went to a grocery store, I am
(13:11):
amazed that working class people aren't just ready to revolve.
I don't have children at home. I see people that
obviously have kids at home, and they're in their grocery
bill is four or five six hundred dollars and it's
just barely a cart, you know, and you look at
and say, how in the world can the average person
afford that? And yet many of those people, because of
(13:32):
identity politics, will go vote for Kamala Harris. And you know,
I don't want to. I don't like to spook the
ill of presidential candidates just because it's too easy to do.
But we've got to say what's the best for our children.
Do we want them to own anything? Do we want
them to have a decent diet. I am surrounded by
people with cancer and it's the food system. What is
(13:57):
Kamala Harris going to do about that? They're going to
let food change combined and merged together, so we have
more processed food, more chemicals that our systems, and more
people ill. We have got to say, I love my
kids more than I love the idea that she's a woman,
or the idea that I don't like Donald Trump because
(14:18):
he has mean tweets. Something wrong with you and you
need to think about that, because we've got to vote
to keep our lives together and not turn out like
some third world country.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You know, it's interesting to sit down with him and
he sounds like RVK Junior, doesn't he with the make
America healthy again?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, he's absolutely right. I was reading a study the
other day about these chemicals that they put in your
food are and even the rates of colon cancer among
young people they're attributing to processed foods. So there's a
certain segment of the food market that is literally killing us.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Make America healthy again, Maha. That's been out since RVK
Junior walked away from you know here he is an independent.
He already walked away from Democrats, same with Tulsi and others.
And I'm going to say this posed debate, look at
the independence. They're swaying in Trump's direction, and maybe that's
why he set no more debates that was so slanted
at this point.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, well, you know, you can argue whether he's right
or wrong to do that. And we've talked about the
independence and their reaction, and it's kind of anathetical to
me that the Trump supporters all think that he underperformed
in that debate. And they they including me, I wanted
to see more from him going on the attack against Kamala.
(15:37):
But if you look at these studies that they did
in real time where they sat down with these these
focus groups of independence while they were tracking while each
one talks, you know how they have the dial or
they press the button, and the majority of them went
for Trump and.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Not Kamala in a big way. Too right by a
large margin.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Said maybe we've been wrong in our assessment of his performance.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh no, I thought I didn't think he lost that debate,
And I can see why they would spin it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, I mean, personally, I'm just saying that, you know,
we both and you voiced this too, that you were
frustrated watching it, and we both agreed that he did
not lose, but we wanted to see more from him.
Maybe we've been wrong, and maybe our callers who have
said the same thing, maybe we've been wrong in our assessment.
And maybe we're wrong in the assessment that we were
(16:31):
hoping for another debate from him. Maybe he's playing this
just the way that he should.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
My concern with that debate was I was scared. I
was scared at how polished she was and how many
people didn't realize all the lies that she was telling.
That was my concern from the debate, and just visually
the fact that she didn't come out as word salad
and came across so well that that was all that
was going to matter, despite you know, the misinformation coming
(16:58):
out of her mouth, that there was no pushback on
except for from Trump. And it was so much so
that of course the guy got knocked off killed her.
I mean, and a lot of people were like, oh
my god, in Clay and Buck, I mean all throughout
the day, you know, it was all about how you
know Trump missed the the ko we could have knocked
her out on this.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Exactly point, I know.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But I mean, god, he's one man. I mean, we
put so much it's like our color last hour, who
said there is anything the guy could have said or
done or you know, because if he had come out swinging,
they would have eviscerated him for that. How how many
weeks were we talking about the he can't go on
the attack with her because she will use that against him.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, what does he need to do at this point
to win the election?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Maybe not debate, I guess that's his strategy.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
No, I mean literally what does he need to do.
He needs to win independence over to his side, right.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think he thinks with Tolsi and the RFK juniors
of the world that having those two strong, you know,
really strong people on his side in his camp, that
he doesn't need the propaganda press, you know, to continue
to fire upon him because they're gonna do that anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Well, what I'm saying is that Kamala's supporters are going
to support Kamala and Trump supporters are going to the
mega voters are going to vote mega. So what does
he need to do. He needs to swing the independence
and that it appears that's what he's doing and what
he did in the debate. So maybe he wasn't knocked
off kilter. Maybe he did exactly what he needed to do.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three double usc. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's all your fault, Kelly, Jesus, it's national blame someone else.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Day, you suck.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
English biblical scholar William Tyndale created the word scapegoat when
he described a Jewish Day of Atonement ritual where a
priest laid the sins of the people on one goat,
which was tasked to bear those sins for the rest
of its life and carry them out into the wilderness,
meaning that the goat bore the blame for others. Blaming
(19:10):
someone else dates back to the very beginning of humanity.
Originally associated with Eve, the phrase the devil made me
do it was popularized by comedian and actor Flip Wilson
in the nineteen seventies. So if there's something that you
need to take responsibility for that. You're not looking forward
to take the opportunity today to blame somebody else on
(19:34):
National Blame someone Else's day.
Speaker 1 (19:39):

I mean this accident killed an eleven year old that
residents have been speaking out more and more about Haitian
immigrant problems in Springfield. They've even got All they had
(07:21):
to do was google it blaze Springfield New sun is
their web is the website of their local newspaper that's
been around since the eighteen hundreds. Has that actual story,
So that is a factual story. So you know, it's
wrong to deny that these Springfield residents are even taking
to their own social media to sound off about some
things I hadn't even heard about, like grown men taked
(07:44):
naked sink baths in the women's restroom at the grocery store.
I mean, there's a homeless Haitian problem where they have
people camping out in their lawns. There was video that
went viral of a lady who's under one hundred pounds saying,
I'm you know I don't know what to do when
people are teaking to me in a language I don't
understand and throwing mattresses in my yard and I come
to you for help in the city and your resources
(08:06):
are overwhelmed. That's also documented which these reporters could could
actually report that their county health department alone, over the
last three years went from one hundred and fifteen cases
of health issues to you know, add fifteen hundred one
fifteen to fifteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, it's a clash of cultures. It's also the government
getting involved in giving many of these stations vouchers. You know,
the whole goal in the beginning was to revitalize the
city because it was a decaying rust belt city and
they thought that bringing these immigrants in there and giving
them vouchers and giving them help help that they don't
give the residents, the native residents of Springfield any help,
(08:49):
but they do, you know, to the newcomers. So it's
a clash of cultures. And it's also you know, the
government deciding who gets help and who doesn't. And don't
forget they're all doing that with your money and the
money that the residents of Springfield put into the system.
That the receivers did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Not well in shame full circle here, Shame on the
propaganda press for trying to make this a racial issue.
It's about safety and security and there are facts here
to back the real problems up that are not racist tropes.
So shame on them for that.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, yeah, I mean, you know, and it just shows
you what a mess it is. Like I said, you
have the recipients of these benefits in there, and the
residents that are having the problem have been paying their
taxes for years and years and years. They're not getting
any help. So again it's just you know, unfair. And
(09:45):
it goes to the point of assimilation. What is going
to force these immigrants, legal or illegal to assimilate into
American society. If they're not going to assimilate, then I
would are with them. We have a big problem.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Decision twenty twenty four. Kelly and Blaze our ringside for
the main event. This is Charleston This Morning News on
ninety four to three WUSC All right.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Hit the top bad feature on the iHeart app free
to download today round radio microphone. Let us know thumbs
up her thumbs down to Trump's decision not to have
another debate. We have been post debate this week breaking
down all of the wins and losses, you know, the
mic drop moments and the missteps. And quite interesting that
we've got slanted CNN out here saying that Trump is
(10:36):
trying to scare the moderate independence, those coveted voters come November.
Where the approach with Harris is she's trying to woo
the suburban independence with checks like twenty five thousand dollars
for a new home buyer, fifty thousand dollars for you know,
new businesses. And I actually ask.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
That should fix inflation.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, exactly. Our State treasure Curtis Loft is about this
in a recent sit down because I mean the Harris
Biden administration was ripped by Goya. You know Goya the
I always think of black beans and you know, just
the food product.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
The CEO Bob Yu Nanu was actually on I think
it was Fox Business this week, ripping the administration over
the cost of groceries and the new inflation numbers that
came out, you know, for month over months, saying it
was only this week they said what point seven percent
rise in year over year inflation. He was like, what
a load of Hohoey. I mean those are my words,
(11:32):
not his. His were far more. You know, she just
a viscerated the Vice President, saying that her proposal to
implement price controls is communism. He said, the price of
a can of beans for Goya, you know, hasn't gone
up twenty percent, It's gone up fifty percent, from ninety
nine cents to a dollar fifty. And then he laid
out all the ways with regards to inflation, how it's
(11:55):
been just over the last four years and this administration,
and you know, with the price increases, whether it's fossil
fuels and the Green New Deal and the weakness that's
frankly been invoked with the whole Russia Ukraine war that
drove was a massive driving force behind these higher fertilizer prices.
I mean, he even went into the uptick of prices
(12:15):
for steel and the material think about it. You got
to put the beans in a can. I mean, it
went on. He said, steel prices are going back up,
and that's sixty four percent. He said, that's just been
happening over the last two years. So my post debate
question with our state Treasurer at Curtis LOFTUS was about
her Santa Claus checks for new home buyers and new businesses.
(12:36):
And you know, Trump had a mic drop moment when
he said her plan for the economy was c spot run.
You know, it was like four lines and it was
platitudes and had absolutely no desails loss.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
The script, it's not that inflation has come down, it's
that the high prices that resulted from the flash four
years in inflation, those prices haven't come down. Right, you
go to the grocery store, everything costs just as much
as it did before inflation started coming down. That's the
rate of inflation. Those high prices are still there. And
when I still went to a grocery store, I am
(13:11):
amazed that working class people aren't just ready to revolve.
I don't have children at home. I see people that
obviously have kids at home, and they're in their grocery
bill is four or five six hundred dollars and it's
just barely a cart, you know, and you look at
and say, how in the world can the average person
afford that? And yet many of those people, because of
(13:32):
identity politics, will go vote for Kamala Harris. And you know,
I don't want to. I don't like to spook the
ill of presidential candidates just because it's too easy to do.
But we've got to say what's the best for our children.
Do we want them to own anything? Do we want
them to have a decent diet. I am surrounded by
people with cancer and it's the food system. What is
(13:57):
Kamala Harris going to do about that? They're going to
let food change combined and merged together, so we have
more processed food, more chemicals that our systems, and more
people ill. We have got to say, I love my
kids more than I love the idea that she's a woman,
or the idea that I don't like Donald Trump because
(14:18):
he has mean tweets. Something wrong with you and you
need to think about that, because we've got to vote
to keep our lives together and not turn out like
some third world country.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
You know, it's interesting to sit down with him and
he sounds like RVK Junior, doesn't he with the make
America healthy again?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, he's absolutely right. I was reading a study the
other day about these chemicals that they put in your
food are and even the rates of colon cancer among
young people they're attributing to processed foods. So there's a
certain segment of the food market that is literally killing us.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Make America healthy again, Maha. That's been out since RVK
Junior walked away from you know here he is an independent.
He already walked away from Democrats, same with Tulsi and others.
And I'm going to say this posed debate, look at
the independence. They're swaying in Trump's direction, and maybe that's
why he set no more debates that was so slanted
at this point.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, well, you know, you can argue whether he's right
or wrong to do that. And we've talked about the
independence and their reaction, and it's kind of anathetical to
me that the Trump supporters all think that he underperformed
in that debate. And they they including me, I wanted
to see more from him going on the attack against Kamala.
(15:37):
But if you look at these studies that they did
in real time where they sat down with these these
focus groups of independence while they were tracking while each
one talks, you know how they have the dial or
they press the button, and the majority of them went
for Trump and.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Not Kamala in a big way. Too right by a
large margin.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Said maybe we've been wrong in our assessment of his performance.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Oh no, I thought I didn't think he lost that debate,
And I can see why they would spin it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, I mean, personally, I'm just saying that, you know,
we both and you voiced this too, that you were
frustrated watching it, and we both agreed that he did
not lose, but we wanted to see more from him.
Maybe we've been wrong, and maybe our callers who have
said the same thing, maybe we've been wrong in our assessment.
And maybe we're wrong in the assessment that we were
(16:31):
hoping for another debate from him. Maybe he's playing this
just the way that he should.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
My concern with that debate was I was scared. I
was scared at how polished she was and how many
people didn't realize all the lies that she was telling.
That was my concern from the debate, and just visually
the fact that she didn't come out as word salad
and came across so well that that was all that
was going to matter, despite you know, the misinformation coming
(16:58):
out of her mouth, that there was no pushback on
except for from Trump. And it was so much so
that of course the guy got knocked off killed her.
I mean, and a lot of people were like, oh
my god, in Clay and Buck, I mean all throughout
the day, you know, it was all about how you
know Trump missed the the ko we could have knocked
her out on this.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Exactly point, I know.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But I mean, god, he's one man. I mean, we
put so much it's like our color last hour, who
said there is anything the guy could have said or
done or you know, because if he had come out swinging,
they would have eviscerated him for that. How how many
weeks were we talking about the he can't go on
the attack with her because she will use that against him.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, what does he need to do at this point
to win the election?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Maybe not debate, I guess that's his strategy.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
No, I mean literally what does he need to do.
He needs to win independence over to his side, right.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think he thinks with Tolsi and the RFK juniors
of the world that having those two strong, you know,
really strong people on his side in his camp, that
he doesn't need the propaganda press, you know, to continue
to fire upon him because they're gonna do that anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Well, what I'm saying is that Kamala's supporters are going
to support Kamala and Trump supporters are going to the
mega voters are going to vote mega. So what does
he need to do. He needs to swing the independence
and that it appears that's what he's doing and what
he did in the debate. So maybe he wasn't knocked
off kilter. Maybe he did exactly what he needed to do.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You're listening to Charleston's Morning News on ninety four to
three double usc. Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's all your fault, Kelly, Jesus, it's national blame someone else.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Day, you suck.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
English biblical scholar William Tyndale created the word scapegoat when
he described a Jewish Day of Atonement ritual where a
priest laid the sins of the people on one goat,
which was tasked to bear those sins for the rest
of its life and carry them out into the wilderness,
meaning that the goat bore the blame for others. Blaming
(19:10):
someone else dates back to the very beginning of humanity.
Originally associated with Eve, the phrase the devil made me
do it was popularized by comedian and actor Flip Wilson
in the nineteen seventies. So if there's something that you
need to take responsibility for that. You're not looking forward
to take the opportunity today to blame somebody else on
(19:34):
National Blame someone Else's day.
