Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. Five
people are dead, including the gunmen, after shooting in midtown
Manhattan yesterday evening. The shooting took place yesterday evening when
a man with an M four rifle entered a skyscraper
and began opening fire. One of the victims was a
New York police officer. The suspect, who was recently employed
(00:25):
as a Las Vegas casino security guard, has been identified
as Shane Timura. Tomorrow traveled across the country from Nevada
before arriving in New York City and has a history
of mental health issues. He died from an apparent self
inflicted gunshot wound, and YPD Commissioner Jessica Tish said the
gunman's car contained a rifle case with rounds, a loaded revolver, ammunition,
(00:49):
and magazines.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The initial investigation shows that mister Timora's vehicle traveled cross
country through Colorado on July twenty sixth, Nebraska and Iowa
on July twenty seventh, and then in Columbia, New Jersey
as recently as four twenty four pm today, So.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
This was a man on a mission in this investigation,
clearly continues to unfold, and now we know more about
Tamiro's background. Apparently he grew up in California. He graduated
Golden Valley High Schools. He's back in twenty sixteen, that's
his senior year. Coach actually spoke to the LA Times,
(01:31):
this is what a star football player this guy was.
That he expected big things from this running back. And
I know, you know this is one of his star
players of the team. He had a bright future.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, and you know we didn't bring this up last time.
We knew that he was a football star when he
was in high school. And now you're saying the New
York Post, I believe it is, is reporting that he
left behind a.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Letter several pages. Yes, so he says in the note
and it's several pages long, he blamed football for his
apparent struggle with neurodegenerative disease called CTE. This is chronic
traumatic encephalopathy. So this is the Post is saying, you know,
(02:17):
this is exclusive that him that this law enforcement of
spoke to them. Also said after you know, we know
he fatally shot himself in the chest. I know that
was under debate on whether he was neutralized or took
his own life, but also said apparently that his brain
(02:37):
he wanted his brain to be studied. In the note,
it was said, so horrific situation.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well that may be why he shot himself in the chest.
But now why did he feel the need to take
out you know, another four people right?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, and we know that this is now if you
hadn't heard, you know, there are several large corporation, including
the NFL, that were housed here in this midtown Manhattan building.
What's odd is the NFL's offices were on between the
third and fifth floor, I believe, and he rode the
(03:15):
elevator up to the thirty third floor.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, And so there's a lot of things here if
you look at the timeline that just you know, just horrific.
This apparently all started around six twenty eight pm. And
you know, we're in a building where there's a lot
of security and cameras and you know you have to
have access, you know, digital access and special codes and everything,
(03:42):
and I you know, I'm just thinking, immediately, my god,
did he blast his way through? Like you know, what
is going on here? So he entered the lobby and
this is where he shot the police officer dead at
thirty six years old. Heartbreaking. This poor officer died a hero.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Two kids, and his wife's pregnant with a third.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, but then he gunned down a woman. She was
cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, and he not
only took her life, but he sprayed more bullets and
walked toward the elevator bank where he then shot dead
a security guard. And the security guard apparently was crouching
(04:24):
at his desk. And that made me think, does that
mean in New York City as a security guard you
don't have a firearm? So you know, I don't know
there what's going to come of those details?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, we'll have to find out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Welcome into a Tuesday edition of the show going. I
feel like one ten yet again today, So be careful
as you head out this morning. Be prepared. Drink a
bunch of water. I know, Blaize, I'm so sorry to
hear you broke down in this weather yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Hot.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Are you in a reliable vehicle today?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, I'm in no vehicle right now.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
D Well.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
For those who missed the story for the second time
in a month, Yeah, and this is not good. In
less than a month. I can't believe this so I
think it's time for a new car. And it's not
an old beat up car.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's not very nice. What year is it?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean it's older. It's only got eighty thousand miles
on it, so you know, you wouldn't expect all of
these problems.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don't say what kind of car it is or now, well.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know if I should, because I would rather
just leave that unset and just trash it because it
seems to be a big posh okay, and you know,
but it's a very nice foreign luxury car. Let's put
it that way. That has ties to South Carolina, Let's
put it that way. And it only has you know,
I bought it with sixty thousand miles on it and
(05:53):
that was after COVID, right, So my car got totaled,
not my fault. And I went to get a car
and like there was any there wasn't any cars, and
it was it was weird. All there was was like,
you know, cars that had you know, salvage titles and
all this stuff, and I'm like what But anyway, I
(06:14):
thought I found a nice one with the help of
somebody we know, And no.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
This thing is just I can't believe that you broke
down on the side of the road. You couldn't even
get it in new tracks.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Driving me nuts. Well, that's a lot of these cars now,
so I don't want a car, you know, with all
the electronics on it. So anyway, for the second time
in less than a month, I pull out into traffic
on bees Ferry Road. I get in the fast lane
and all of a sudden, you know, bing bing bing
thing goes off, and you know you're at a reduced
whatever it says, drive carefully, you're under reduced power or something. Well,
(06:47):
I was under no power. I mean, the thing wasn't
going anywhere, stalled out, wouldn't start, and so I'm sitting
at the traffic light in a major intersection and it's
just hotter than hell out so of course it doesn't run,
so you can't run the air conditioning. I have to
thank Officer Bailey, Charleston Police Department team for West Ashley
shout out yep and a good guy you know. Got
(07:08):
to sit and talk with him for a bit while
we waited for the tow truck. He was nice enough
to invite me into his cruiser.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Did you have to sit in the back.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In the air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes, you should have snapped a picture. Well, we have
some fun with that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, this is pretty funny because I have another friend
and client who's a police officer, and I'm like, do
you know so and so? And he's like, oh, yeah,
I know him. So he calls him up and he
says and by the way, Officer Bailey listens to the
show on a regular basis. He even said he's like,
are you on the radio because I recognize your voice.
So anyway, so then we got to talk and I'm like,
(07:44):
do you know so and so? And he's like yeah.
So he calls him up and he goes, yeah, I
got your buddy Michael Blaze at the back of my car.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I put on speaker. That's hilarious, he was.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And he's like, oh yeah, what did he do? And
he's like he'd rather not discuss that right now. I
thought it was hilarios.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That is some trolling rate there. I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah that he's like, now his car broke down, we're
just sitting here waiting for the tow truck. So anyway,
thank you to Officer Bailey. One of Charleston's finest team
for West Ashley and he came to the rescue yesterday.
So several states are telling the federal government there's nothing
to see here, move along. Washington State is joining a
lawsuit against the federal government to protect data of SNAP recipients.
(08:25):
Back in May, the USDA demanded that states turn over
personal information of people who receive SNAP food benefits. Around
one point two million Washingtonians are a part of the program.
The lawsuit claims the demand for information violates multiple federal
privacy laws, doesn't meet public comment requirements, exceeds the USDA's
authority authoritie, and violates the US Constitution. So isn't that nice?
(08:50):
So you're just supposed to hand over the money and
no questions asked, no questions asked.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That does it sell like a robbery.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it's the states. You know, the federal government supplies
the money for SNAP, the states determine eligibility and they
distribute the benefits. So the federal government is like, we
think you might not be executing this properly. We want
to see who this money's going to.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's an auditive potential fraud.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And the states are suing back saying, no, you don't
have any right to that information. Just hand over the
money and shut up. That seems like a flawed system.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Doesn't it be careful before you head in the water.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yes. So, new details are being released about the id
identity of a South Carolina boy who died this week
from a brain eating amoeba. Official say twelve year old
Jason Carr died after being exposed to the AMIBA at
Lake Murray. Jason was a student at hand To Middle
School in Richland. The South Carolina Department of Public Health
(09:49):
says that despite the tragedy, human infection from the amiba
is still considered to be very rare.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I was literally in the Gulf of America last week
down in Corpus Christi, Texas, and this story came up
in conversation with strangers on a plane heading to the
Gulf of America, and it was heartbreaking. I come back
to hear actually a personal story of a friend and
you know, I won't make it too specific, but basically
(10:18):
has a pond in their yard and maybe this is
how they picked up some flesh eating bacteria. But flesh
eating bacteria took their skin and was you know, had
to be admitted to the hospital. And the whole time
I'm thinking, Okay, you would think a pond you would
be in super heavy heat heat this summer. You might
be concerned with bacteria.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I wouldn't go in a pond.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right, I'm not thinking the I'm thinking the ocean should
be Okay, what did you think A forty one mile
long you know, Lake murray Is holds seven hundred and
sixty three billion gallons of water. This is a huge lake.
It's a couple of hundred feet deep fake lake. Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But so it's just a big pond.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's a massive but I don't mean to laugh.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean it's fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Miles wide, it's at its widest point. My point being.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You your point, that's a whole lot of water.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, you think you'd be Okay, what a horrifying story.
I know they said it was rare.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, and this poor twelve year old kid and his
poor parents. I mean, can you imagine something just innocuous
is going swimming takes your life, not from drowning or
anything else, but from some you know, brain eating a meba.
It's just hor And you know, and I thought about
this when because you see the stories out of Florida,
this happening, and you're like, well, you know, our climate's
(11:44):
not that much different, and I was kind of surprised
that we haven't seen or heard about too many of
these incidents here in South Carolina, and then now this
with this twelve year old. So anyway, d Hack says
that it's still considered to be very rare.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Sound well, I mean, I shared the story about my friend.
I wonder if we're just not hearing about it in
some of these cases are actually happening because you know,
these ponds of water heat up, and Lord knows what
gets baked in there, bacteria wise and amibo's and so
on that come from it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, there's all kinds of nasty things. I wanted to say.
I'll give a shout out to John. He called he
heard our conversation in the last break talking about you know,
led Zeppelins releasing these live songs. They're releasing a new
EP to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Physical Graffiti that's
coming out in September, and we were talking about how
(12:40):
these rock stars Age and I had brought up, you know,
and you were saying it was freaking you out that
the Physical Graffiti's fifty years old. Fifty years old, and
I'm like well, these musicians, I mean, they're getting.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Up there, man, makes me feel old.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know, the ones that we grew up to rocking
and rolling are are older now and you know, passed away.
And you're like, if Oz he was seventy six, what
does that make me? But anyway, I said, you know,
I wonder if how many of these current musicians will
stand the test of time. We're fifty years from now,
they'll still be viable commercially. And John said, well, you know,
(13:15):
these even though they were in rock and roll bands
or pop bands or whatever, most of them had, you know,
a real talent, and a lot of them were classically trained.
Yeah and yeah, true musicians and craftsmen, and you know,
Peter right rely on all of that stuff. And that's
why it stands the test of time. So thanks to
(13:36):
the call this morning, John, the President is separating himself
from the Jeffrey Epstein files. While in Scotland yesterday, Trump
again called the issue a hoax and said the people
in charge before him would have released the files if
they had anything on him. He also claimed he once
turned down an invitation to Epstein's infamous private island. Trump
(13:56):
also denied a report from the Wall Street Journal that
he sent a birthday green reading to Epstein that included
a drawing of a nude woman. Meanwhile, Epstein associate Glaine
Maxwell was calling on the Supreme Court to overturn her
sex trafficking conviction. In a brief file Monday, Maxwell's lawyers
argue that an agreement made between Epstein and the US
government shields her from prosecution. The Second US Circuit Court
(14:20):
of Appeals had ruled that the agreement made by Epstein
with Florida prosecutors to plead guilty did not apply in
New York. Maxwell is currently serving a twenty year sentence
in federal prison. She met with Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche for questioning last week.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
She does not have the votes in the Supreme Court
for this to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I don't know, I don't trust what's going on here.
They've politicized this whole thing. And if she had any
new information to give, you don't think that she would
have used it to save her behind before she was
sentenced to twenty years in prison, and after you're in
ben sentenced and you're now in prison serving a twenty
(15:01):
year sentence. Now's not the time to try to make
a deal.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, and I can't believe I'm about to say that
I agree with Chris Cuomo of all people on this one,
but he said the laugh should shut the f up
about Epstein. He said they weren't into it when they
had the ability to do something. And it's true, where
was the press?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What they didn't care for?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You link? Willie was out here visiting Epstein Island, you know,
former President Bill Clinton one hundred of over one hundred times.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, they didn't care for the last several administrations, right,
I mean, the original Epstein case goes back to two
thousand and seven, and that's what they're referencing here. I
believe when they say that, you know, Epstein made a
deal with Florida prosecutors to plead guilty, and under that deal,
it said that any any of his you know, how
(15:55):
would you describe it, I don't know if it's conspirators
is the right word. Any of his co criminal or
you know, however you would describe them legally would not
be prosecuted. So they even argued at the time Glainne
Maxwell's lawyers that she falls under that agreement, and this
(16:15):
Court of Appeals said no, that was with Florida prosecutors.
It doesn't apply in New York. So they already went
down this road to keep her out of prison, to
try to keep her out of prison, you know, in
her original court case. But now they're trying to, you know,
to rehash that old.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Defense well and again to your point, if they had
something on Trump that he used it during the election,
we can continue to repeat that. I don't know how
many people who are upset with the base that you know,
just don't want to believe that or hear it. You know,
this is why he continues to say it's a hoax.
(16:55):
It's been built way up beyond proportion. You know, they
would have used this during the election. Look at all
the ways that they weaponized and wielded so much against
this president.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, and they puffed this story up, and the president
took part in that, not to the extent I don't
think that everybody thinks. And I went back, I'm like,
let's see exactly what he did say about this over
the years. And of course he played some politics with it,
but he was not you know, banging the drama of
we're sending the deep state to jail and everything. This
(17:30):
was mostly him answering questions from reporters, and he even
said he thought that Epstein probably killed himself, that he
was not murdered in jail because he said that like
years ago and that, and he said various other things.
You know that he wished to Glaine well and know,
(17:51):
you know, hard feelings towards her, and that when asked
if they should release the client list, he said, well,
certainly that'd be interesting, wouldn't it. But that was assuming
that there was a client list. And then now we
find out that there's not one. Now some people have
speculated that it was destroyed by the previous administration. I
mean that may or may not be.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well they need to say that, you can only.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, but they don't know. Well maybe right, so how
can they say that? Or it just exacerbates the story.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, it is being exacerbated because of how it was handled.
I mean that we've you know, talked about Pambondi and
you know, well.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yet to finish my point. So it was the media
asking him these questions. Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck,
all these guys were out there making people believe that
we were going to finally conquer the deep state. And
we'd see all these purp walks from these perverts in
(18:49):
high ranking positions, and of course none of it, none
of it materialized.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Well, and you know, I really like Dan Bongino, but
I think too his latest statement has added more confusion.
It's it's added more questions. I mean, if you missed,
it was three paragraphs. He dropped it a couple of
days ago. But I mean it's chilling. I mean the
words he's using here shocked me to my core. Can't
(19:14):
run a republic like this. I'll never be the same
after learning what I've learned. It's a three state three.
It's two paragraphs too long. There's three paragraphs here, and
he honestly just should have said the final paragraph. We
are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by
the book, in accordance with the law. You know, we're
(19:35):
going to get to the answers that we all deserve.
And you know, he says, with any investigation, I can't
predict where it will end, but I can promise an
honest and dignified effort to the truth. And he says,
not my truth, not your truth, but the truth, but
unfortunately peppered it with the you know the other chilling,
kind of shocking statements unfortunately, and I just wish that
(19:56):
that hadn't happened.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, we're running over time, but I want to make
a couple of quick points. One is what investigations you're
talking about. I mean, gj IS supposedly wrapped up their
investigation right.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Right back to the Bondie bumk.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and it was he himself who said, you know what, sorry,
but what you think is here is not here. No
matter how much you want it to be, it's not here.
And the other point that the administration has made, and
I think maybe they should more strongly make this case,
especially after what's come out, and that would be the
top story, you know, ABC News the other night. This
(20:29):
was last week when the story broke about Obama and
James Clapper and James Comy and Hillary Clinton and all
of this, their top story was Epstein. So it shows
you where the media's mindset is. And these same bad
actors that even used Hillary used money from the State
Department to fight her political foe, which was Donald Trump.
(20:52):
They all lied about Trump, They lied to judges in
the FISA courts, infiltrated his campaign, and then after he
became president. It goes all the way up to the
Oval Office, where President Obama didn't like the report of
the investigation that was conducted and said, why don't you
try again, And then they came back with a bunch
of you know, Russia, Russia, Russia stuff with Trump and
(21:15):
how Putin was trying to get him elected. And it
turns out the story is the total opposite of what
they reported for years, and the Trump administration had brought
up that they didn't trust a lot of this information
in the Epstein file because who was in charge of
the FBI at the time. Who was in charge, So
(21:36):
they believe that a lot of it was created to
blackmail and smear people. And so there's that component of
it too that we don't hardly hear anything about.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Well, like I said, this latest statement with Bongino, it
creates more questions the Bondi bungle. I think this is
a little bit of a bungle by Bongino too, because
clearly Trump wants to move on from this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So once again what they've been telling us is wrong.
And I'm not talking about Epstein, and I'm not talking
about Hillary or James Comy or James Clapper I'm talking
about what you put in your mouth. A new studies
suggests eggs can help lower cholesterol. That runs counter too
decades old advice to limit egg consumption because it can
raise your risk of heart disease and stroke. But now
(22:21):
a paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
adds to the growing evidence that eggs are actually good
for you. Researchers say, while the popular breakfast food may
be high in cholesterol, they're low and saturated fat, which
is believed to be the real driver of cholesterol elevation.
The study suggests that eating eggs as part of a
low saturated fat diet can actually boost your health.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Head on a swivel, and what's good and what's not.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
They're knowing this for how long now? How many hundreds
are ture even thousands of years? You know, I see
this is what just bugs me about, you know, listening
to these people. To me, it's common sense. And years
ago now they're starting to say butter's good for you,
and meat's good for you, and all of these things
(23:08):
that they were pooh pooing. I changed my diet back
and did that years ago, and started using real butter again,
eating red meat and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Look at all all of the pieces of the cow,
the tallow we're slathering on everything, the collagen we're ingesting.
I mean, it's all back to the basics when it
comes to health.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, there's a reason. And you know what, I'll make
this point real quick. We wonder why there's so much
ridiculous in the world and how people can be so stupid.
You know what, our brains actually developed off of animal
fat in our diet, and if you take that away,
what happens to your brain development?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What happens to society and people that were not eating
those things that fed developing a healthy brain? Hm? Take
a look around. Thanks for listening to.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
The Charleston Morning News Podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Catch Kelly and Blaze weekday mornings from six to nine
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. Five
people are dead, including the gunmen, after shooting in midtown
Manhattan yesterday evening. The shooting took place yesterday evening when
a man with an M four rifle entered a skyscraper
and began opening fire. One of the victims was a
New York police officer. The suspect, who was recently employed
(00:25):
as a Las Vegas casino security guard, has been identified
as Shane Timura. Tomorrow traveled across the country from Nevada
before arriving in New York City and has a history
of mental health issues. He died from an apparent self
inflicted gunshot wound, and YPD Commissioner Jessica Tish said the
gunman's car contained a rifle case with rounds, a loaded revolver, ammunition,
(00:49):
and magazines.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
The initial investigation shows that mister Timora's vehicle traveled cross
country through Colorado on July twenty sixth, Nebraska and Iowa
on July twenty seventh, and then in Columbia, New Jersey
as recently as four twenty four pm today, So.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
This was a man on a mission in this investigation,
clearly continues to unfold, and now we know more about
Tamiro's background. Apparently he grew up in California. He graduated
Golden Valley High Schools. He's back in twenty sixteen, that's
his senior year. Coach actually spoke to the LA Times,
(01:31):
this is what a star football player this guy was.
That he expected big things from this running back. And
I know, you know this is one of his star
players of the team. He had a bright future.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, and you know we didn't bring this up last time.
We knew that he was a football star when he
was in high school. And now you're saying the New
York Post, I believe it is, is reporting that he
left behind a.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Letter several pages. Yes, so he says in the note
and it's several pages long, he blamed football for his
apparent struggle with neurodegenerative disease called CTE. This is chronic
traumatic encephalopathy. So this is the Post is saying, you know,
(02:17):
this is exclusive that him that this law enforcement of
spoke to them. Also said after you know, we know
he fatally shot himself in the chest. I know that
was under debate on whether he was neutralized or took
his own life, but also said apparently that his brain
(02:37):
he wanted his brain to be studied. In the note,
it was said, so horrific situation.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well that may be why he shot himself in the chest.
But now why did he feel the need to take
out you know, another four people right?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, and we know that this is now if you
hadn't heard, you know, there are several large corporation, including
the NFL, that were housed here in this midtown Manhattan building.
What's odd is the NFL's offices were on between the
third and fifth floor, I believe, and he rode the
(03:15):
elevator up to the thirty third floor.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, And so there's a lot of things here if
you look at the timeline that just you know, just horrific.
This apparently all started around six twenty eight pm. And
you know, we're in a building where there's a lot
of security and cameras and you know you have to
have access, you know, digital access and special codes and everything,
(03:42):
and I you know, I'm just thinking, immediately, my god,
did he blast his way through? Like you know, what
is going on here? So he entered the lobby and
this is where he shot the police officer dead at
thirty six years old. Heartbreaking. This poor officer died a hero.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Two kids, and his wife's pregnant with a third.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, but then he gunned down a woman. She was
cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, and he not
only took her life, but he sprayed more bullets and
walked toward the elevator bank where he then shot dead
a security guard. And the security guard apparently was crouching
(04:24):
at his desk. And that made me think, does that
mean in New York City as a security guard you
don't have a firearm? So you know, I don't know
there what's going to come of those details?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, we'll have to find out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Welcome into a Tuesday edition of the show going. I
feel like one ten yet again today, So be careful
as you head out this morning. Be prepared. Drink a
bunch of water. I know, Blaize, I'm so sorry to
hear you broke down in this weather yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Hot.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Are you in a reliable vehicle today?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, I'm in no vehicle right now.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
D Well.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
For those who missed the story for the second time
in a month, Yeah, and this is not good. In
less than a month. I can't believe this so I
think it's time for a new car. And it's not
an old beat up car.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's not very nice. What year is it?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean it's older. It's only got eighty thousand miles
on it, so you know, you wouldn't expect all of
these problems.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Don't say what kind of car it is or now, well.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know if I should, because I would rather
just leave that unset and just trash it because it
seems to be a big posh okay, and you know,
but it's a very nice foreign luxury car. Let's put
it that way. That has ties to South Carolina, Let's
put it that way. And it only has you know,
I bought it with sixty thousand miles on it and
(05:53):
that was after COVID, right, So my car got totaled,
not my fault. And I went to get a car
and like there was any there wasn't any cars, and
it was it was weird. All there was was like,
you know, cars that had you know, salvage titles and
all this stuff, and I'm like what But anyway, I
(06:14):
thought I found a nice one with the help of
somebody we know, And no.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
This thing is just I can't believe that you broke
down on the side of the road. You couldn't even
get it in new tracks.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Driving me nuts. Well, that's a lot of these cars now,
so I don't want a car, you know, with all
the electronics on it. So anyway, for the second time
in less than a month, I pull out into traffic
on bees Ferry Road. I get in the fast lane
and all of a sudden, you know, bing bing bing
thing goes off, and you know you're at a reduced
whatever it says, drive carefully, you're under reduced power or something. Well,
(06:47):
I was under no power. I mean, the thing wasn't
going anywhere, stalled out, wouldn't start, and so I'm sitting
at the traffic light in a major intersection and it's
just hotter than hell out so of course it doesn't run,
so you can't run the air conditioning. I have to
thank Officer Bailey, Charleston Police Department team for West Ashley
shout out yep and a good guy you know. Got
(07:08):
to sit and talk with him for a bit while
we waited for the tow truck. He was nice enough
to invite me into his cruiser.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Did you have to sit in the back.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In the air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yes, you should have snapped a picture. Well, we have
some fun with that.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, this is pretty funny because I have another friend
and client who's a police officer, and I'm like, do
you know so and so? And he's like, oh, yeah,
I know him. So he calls him up and he
says and by the way, Officer Bailey listens to the
show on a regular basis. He even said he's like,
are you on the radio because I recognize your voice.
So anyway, so then we got to talk and I'm like,
(07:44):
do you know so and so? And he's like yeah.
So he calls him up and he goes, yeah, I
got your buddy Michael Blaze at the back of my car.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I put on speaker. That's hilarious, he was.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And he's like, oh yeah, what did he do? And
he's like he'd rather not discuss that right now. I
thought it was hilarios.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That is some trolling rate there. I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah that he's like, now his car broke down, we're
just sitting here waiting for the tow truck. So anyway,
thank you to Officer Bailey. One of Charleston's finest team
for West Ashley and he came to the rescue yesterday.
So several states are telling the federal government there's nothing
to see here, move along. Washington State is joining a
lawsuit against the federal government to protect data of SNAP recipients.
(08:25):
Back in May, the USDA demanded that states turn over
personal information of people who receive SNAP food benefits. Around
one point two million Washingtonians are a part of the program.
The lawsuit claims the demand for information violates multiple federal
privacy laws, doesn't meet public comment requirements, exceeds the USDA's
authority authoritie, and violates the US Constitution. So isn't that nice?
(08:50):
So you're just supposed to hand over the money and
no questions asked, no questions asked.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That does it sell like a robbery.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it's the states. You know, the federal government supplies
the money for SNAP, the states determine eligibility and they
distribute the benefits. So the federal government is like, we
think you might not be executing this properly. We want
to see who this money's going to.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's an auditive potential fraud.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And the states are suing back saying, no, you don't
have any right to that information. Just hand over the
money and shut up. That seems like a flawed system.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Doesn't it be careful before you head in the water.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yes. So, new details are being released about the id
identity of a South Carolina boy who died this week
from a brain eating amoeba. Official say twelve year old
Jason Carr died after being exposed to the AMIBA at
Lake Murray. Jason was a student at hand To Middle
School in Richland. The South Carolina Department of Public Health
(09:49):
says that despite the tragedy, human infection from the amiba
is still considered to be very rare.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I was literally in the Gulf of America last week
down in Corpus Christi, Texas, and this story came up
in conversation with strangers on a plane heading to the
Gulf of America, and it was heartbreaking. I come back
to hear actually a personal story of a friend and
you know, I won't make it too specific, but basically
(10:18):
has a pond in their yard and maybe this is
how they picked up some flesh eating bacteria. But flesh
eating bacteria took their skin and was you know, had
to be admitted to the hospital. And the whole time
I'm thinking, Okay, you would think a pond you would
be in super heavy heat heat this summer. You might
be concerned with bacteria.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I wouldn't go in a pond.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right, I'm not thinking the I'm thinking the ocean should
be Okay, what did you think A forty one mile
long you know, Lake murray Is holds seven hundred and
sixty three billion gallons of water. This is a huge lake.
It's a couple of hundred feet deep fake lake. Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But so it's just a big pond.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It's a massive but I don't mean to laugh.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean it's fourteen.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Miles wide, it's at its widest point. My point being.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You your point, that's a whole lot of water.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, you think you'd be Okay, what a horrifying story.
I know they said it was rare.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, and this poor twelve year old kid and his
poor parents. I mean, can you imagine something just innocuous
is going swimming takes your life, not from drowning or
anything else, but from some you know, brain eating a meba.
It's just hor And you know, and I thought about
this when because you see the stories out of Florida,
this happening, and you're like, well, you know, our climate's
(11:44):
not that much different, and I was kind of surprised
that we haven't seen or heard about too many of
these incidents here in South Carolina, and then now this
with this twelve year old. So anyway, d Hack says
that it's still considered to be very rare.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Sound well, I mean, I shared the story about my friend.
I wonder if we're just not hearing about it in
some of these cases are actually happening because you know,
these ponds of water heat up, and Lord knows what
gets baked in there, bacteria wise and amibo's and so
on that come from it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, there's all kinds of nasty things. I wanted to say.
I'll give a shout out to John. He called he
heard our conversation in the last break talking about you know,
led Zeppelins releasing these live songs. They're releasing a new
EP to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Physical Graffiti that's
coming out in September, and we were talking about how
(12:40):
these rock stars Age and I had brought up, you know,
and you were saying it was freaking you out that
the Physical Graffiti's fifty years old. Fifty years old, and
I'm like well, these musicians, I mean, they're getting.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Up there, man, makes me feel old.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know, the ones that we grew up to rocking
and rolling are are older now and you know, passed away.
And you're like, if Oz he was seventy six, what
does that make me? But anyway, I said, you know,
I wonder if how many of these current musicians will
stand the test of time. We're fifty years from now,
they'll still be viable commercially. And John said, well, you know,
(13:15):
these even though they were in rock and roll bands
or pop bands or whatever, most of them had, you know,
a real talent, and a lot of them were classically trained.
Yeah and yeah, true musicians and craftsmen, and you know,
Peter right rely on all of that stuff. And that's
why it stands the test of time. So thanks to
(13:36):
the call this morning, John, the President is separating himself
from the Jeffrey Epstein files. While in Scotland yesterday, Trump
again called the issue a hoax and said the people
in charge before him would have released the files if
they had anything on him. He also claimed he once
turned down an invitation to Epstein's infamous private island. Trump
(13:56):
also denied a report from the Wall Street Journal that
he sent a birthday green reading to Epstein that included
a drawing of a nude woman. Meanwhile, Epstein associate Glaine
Maxwell was calling on the Supreme Court to overturn her
sex trafficking conviction. In a brief file Monday, Maxwell's lawyers
argue that an agreement made between Epstein and the US
government shields her from prosecution. The Second US Circuit Court
(14:20):
of Appeals had ruled that the agreement made by Epstein
with Florida prosecutors to plead guilty did not apply in
New York. Maxwell is currently serving a twenty year sentence
in federal prison. She met with Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche for questioning last week.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
She does not have the votes in the Supreme Court
for this to happen.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I don't know, I don't trust what's going on here.
They've politicized this whole thing. And if she had any
new information to give, you don't think that she would
have used it to save her behind before she was
sentenced to twenty years in prison, and after you're in
ben sentenced and you're now in prison serving a twenty
(15:01):
year sentence. Now's not the time to try to make
a deal.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, and I can't believe I'm about to say that
I agree with Chris Cuomo of all people on this one,
but he said the laugh should shut the f up
about Epstein. He said they weren't into it when they
had the ability to do something. And it's true, where
was the press?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What they didn't care for?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You link? Willie was out here visiting Epstein Island, you know,
former President Bill Clinton one hundred of over one hundred times.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, they didn't care for the last several administrations, right,
I mean, the original Epstein case goes back to two
thousand and seven, and that's what they're referencing here. I
believe when they say that, you know, Epstein made a
deal with Florida prosecutors to plead guilty, and under that deal,
it said that any any of his you know, how
(15:55):
would you describe it, I don't know if it's conspirators
is the right word. Any of his co criminal or
you know, however you would describe them legally would not
be prosecuted. So they even argued at the time Glainne
Maxwell's lawyers that she falls under that agreement, and this
(16:15):
Court of Appeals said no, that was with Florida prosecutors.
It doesn't apply in New York. So they already went
down this road to keep her out of prison, to
try to keep her out of prison, you know, in
her original court case. But now they're trying to, you know,
to rehash that old.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Defense well and again to your point, if they had
something on Trump that he used it during the election,
we can continue to repeat that. I don't know how
many people who are upset with the base that you know,
just don't want to believe that or hear it. You know,
this is why he continues to say it's a hoax.
(16:55):
It's been built way up beyond proportion. You know, they
would have used this during the election. Look at all
the ways that they weaponized and wielded so much against
this president.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, and they puffed this story up, and the president
took part in that, not to the extent I don't
think that everybody thinks. And I went back, I'm like,
let's see exactly what he did say about this over
the years. And of course he played some politics with it,
but he was not you know, banging the drama of
we're sending the deep state to jail and everything. This
(17:30):
was mostly him answering questions from reporters, and he even
said he thought that Epstein probably killed himself, that he
was not murdered in jail because he said that like
years ago and that, and he said various other things.
You know that he wished to Glaine well and know,
(17:51):
you know, hard feelings towards her, and that when asked
if they should release the client list, he said, well,
certainly that'd be interesting, wouldn't it. But that was assuming
that there was a client list. And then now we
find out that there's not one. Now some people have
speculated that it was destroyed by the previous administration. I
mean that may or may not be.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Well they need to say that, you can only.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, but they don't know. Well maybe right, so how
can they say that? Or it just exacerbates the story.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, it is being exacerbated because of how it was handled.
I mean that we've you know, talked about Pambondi and
you know, well.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yet to finish my point. So it was the media
asking him these questions. Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck,
all these guys were out there making people believe that
we were going to finally conquer the deep state. And
we'd see all these purp walks from these perverts in
(18:49):
high ranking positions, and of course none of it, none
of it materialized.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Well, and you know, I really like Dan Bongino, but
I think too his latest statement has added more confusion.
It's it's added more questions. I mean, if you missed,
it was three paragraphs. He dropped it a couple of
days ago. But I mean it's chilling. I mean the
words he's using here shocked me to my core. Can't
(19:14):
run a republic like this. I'll never be the same
after learning what I've learned. It's a three state three.
It's two paragraphs too long. There's three paragraphs here, and
he honestly just should have said the final paragraph. We
are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by
the book, in accordance with the law. You know, we're
(19:35):
going to get to the answers that we all deserve.
And you know, he says, with any investigation, I can't
predict where it will end, but I can promise an
honest and dignified effort to the truth. And he says,
not my truth, not your truth, but the truth, but
unfortunately peppered it with the you know the other chilling,
kind of shocking statements unfortunately, and I just wish that
(19:56):
that hadn't happened.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Well, we're running over time, but I want to make
a couple of quick points. One is what investigations you're
talking about. I mean, gj IS supposedly wrapped up their
investigation right.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Right back to the Bondie bumk.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and it was he himself who said, you know what, sorry,
but what you think is here is not here. No
matter how much you want it to be, it's not here.
And the other point that the administration has made, and
I think maybe they should more strongly make this case,
especially after what's come out, and that would be the
top story, you know, ABC News the other night. This
(20:29):
was last week when the story broke about Obama and
James Clapper and James Comy and Hillary Clinton and all
of this, their top story was Epstein. So it shows
you where the media's mindset is. And these same bad
actors that even used Hillary used money from the State
Department to fight her political foe, which was Donald Trump.
(20:52):
They all lied about Trump, They lied to judges in
the FISA courts, infiltrated his campaign, and then after he
became president. It goes all the way up to the
Oval Office, where President Obama didn't like the report of
the investigation that was conducted and said, why don't you
try again, And then they came back with a bunch
of you know, Russia, Russia, Russia stuff with Trump and
(21:15):
how Putin was trying to get him elected. And it
turns out the story is the total opposite of what
they reported for years, and the Trump administration had brought
up that they didn't trust a lot of this information
in the Epstein file because who was in charge of
the FBI at the time. Who was in charge, So
(21:36):
they believe that a lot of it was created to
blackmail and smear people. And so there's that component of
it too that we don't hardly hear anything about.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Well, like I said, this latest statement with Bongino, it
creates more questions the Bondi bungle. I think this is
a little bit of a bungle by Bongino too, because
clearly Trump wants to move on from this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So once again what they've been telling us is wrong.
And I'm not talking about Epstein, and I'm not talking
about Hillary or James Comy or James Clapper I'm talking
about what you put in your mouth. A new studies
suggests eggs can help lower cholesterol. That runs counter too
decades old advice to limit egg consumption because it can
raise your risk of heart disease and stroke. But now
(22:21):
a paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
adds to the growing evidence that eggs are actually good
for you. Researchers say, while the popular breakfast food may
be high in cholesterol, they're low and saturated fat, which
is believed to be the real driver of cholesterol elevation.
The study suggests that eating eggs as part of a
low saturated fat diet can actually boost your health.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Head on a swivel, and what's good and what's not.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
They're knowing this for how long now? How many hundreds
are ture even thousands of years? You know, I see
this is what just bugs me about, you know, listening
to these people. To me, it's common sense. And years
ago now they're starting to say butter's good for you,
and meat's good for you, and all of these things
(23:08):
that they were pooh pooing. I changed my diet back
and did that years ago, and started using real butter again,
eating red meat and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Look at all all of the pieces of the cow,
the tallow we're slathering on everything, the collagen we're ingesting.
I mean, it's all back to the basics when it
comes to health.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, there's a reason. And you know what, I'll make
this point real quick. We wonder why there's so much
ridiculous in the world and how people can be so stupid.
You know what, our brains actually developed off of animal
fat in our diet, and if you take that away,
what happens to your brain development?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Hmm?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What happens to society and people that were not eating
those things that fed developing a healthy brain? Hm? Take
a look around. Thanks for listening to.
