Now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Justice Department is looking in the whether or not Washington,
d C Police manipulated data to make crime rates a
pure lower. Two senior law enforcement officials confirmed the investigation
to NBC News and shared that it's being run out
of the office of the US Attorney for DC. Mayor
Muriel Bowser has previously pointed to DC police data indicating
(00:29):
that violent crime has decreased twenty six percent compared to
last year, but the accuracy of those numbers has been
challenged by the head of the DC Police union. The
DOJ's probe is also expected to look into other police
and city officials for wrongdoing, though it's unclear at this
point what the charges would be. And it's not only
the DC Police Union that's calling into question the accuracy
(00:51):
of those numbers. The President has done so also.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh yeah, this administration has made it clear if you
know your corruption is criminal, whether you're a politician or
the police, this administration's put you on notice. There's no
safe harbor.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well. Trump called DC's crime statistics fake in a truth
social post, adding that the surgeon, federal agents, and National
Guard troops is already improving safety. The numbers seem to
bear that out. Mayor Bowser disputed that during remarks to
reporters just the other day, saying the increasing number of
troops posted in the city doesn't make sense. She went
(01:28):
on to say that a better question is why the
military would be deployed in an American city to police
Americans now. Interestingly enough, the DC Police Union released these
numbers comparing the crime statistics before Trump took over in Washington,
d C. To afterwards. According to the DC Police Union,
(01:51):
robberies are down forty six percent, carjackings are down eighty
three percent, car theft is down twenty one percent, and
violent crime is down twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Two Listen to all the people, even on the left,
who are praising the president for making their streets safe
again in Metro DC.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, it looks like now it's time to pay the
piper from cooking the books on these numbers. And you
heard the Biden administration always tout how crime was down
across the United States. And it's simply and it was
even admitted by the officials. It's like, well, it's not
being reported accurately.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, simply not true.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Right, It's not true it's the statistics may show that,
but the statistics are flawed. So the Pentagon is reportedly
sending three warships near Venezuela's. President Trump looks to ramp
up pressure on Latin American drug cartels. That's according to Reuters,
which cited two sources brief done the matter. The Trump
administration has designated Venezuela's Trendere, Aragua, Mexico's Sineola cartel, and
(02:56):
other drug gangs as global terrorist organizations. In an address
on Monday, Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro said his country will
defend our seas, our skies, and our lands will also
mentioning the outlandish, bizarre threat of a declining empire, of course,
referring to the United States of America as a declining empire,
(03:18):
he said that they'll be mobilizing millions of militiamen. I
think that's probably a stretch. Remember this administration upped the
reward for the arrest of Maduro to fifty million dollars,
So this is starting to heat up. The Trump administration has,
you know, not only concentrated on on Mexico, threatening to
(03:43):
send troops into Mexico to go after the cartels. But
now you know they're sending three warships near Venezuela and
putting pressure on Maduro, who's lashing out and saying, well,
he's going to mobilize millions of militia men and they
will protect the country. But there's a bounie on his
head from the United States.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, that was a big flex by this administration to
put a large bounty on Maduro's head. And let's make
sure wonder why this has it happened before?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, there was a bounie on his head.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Under the previous administration. Yes, just they doubled down on it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well great, will will it change anything? I don't know.
You got to wonder who the person is going to
pick up the phone, you know, because what was it
last week we had Pam Bondi out with the big
video saying, you know, we're doubling down on this and
here's the number to call if you have information, and
you and I kind of had a conversation about It's
(04:46):
like who's going to pick up the phone and like
bust the cartel? The head of the cartel.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, well, I mean the thing here is they're accusing
Maduro of being a part of the cartel. So it's
not only you know, it's not two separate things that
they think he's involved in drug trafficking, and so they're
sending these three warships. He says the country will defend
our sees, our skies in our lands, and that he's
(05:12):
mobilizing millions of militiamen. Sure, sure he is. And you
know how many people are going to be in Venezuela
willing to go out there and fight the United States
And it's not going to come down to that. They're
putting the pressure on him, So we'll see where that goes.
And we've seen this with different leaders, especially in Latin America,
(05:34):
you know, where they thumb their nose at the United
States and partake in illegal activity and it always ends
poorly for them.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
In Today's Top Stories here on a Wednesday edition the
show We Appreciate Your listening.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu says her city won't back down
from who they are. The comment is in response to
a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi that demanded an
end to certain immigration policies. Speaking the reporters yesterday, we've
said federal officials who are attacking communities that embody diversity
are wrong on the law and wrong on safety.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I mean, how so, so there's there are people dying
literally every day at the hands of people. Look at
the recent horrific crash with the Indian national who was
granted that commercial driver's license. You saw the video by
now horrific. Three American lives gone after this guy, you know,
(06:30):
makes this illegal U turn in a big, big rig
and that was Gavin Newscom. You know who's in this.
His sanctuary state provides. Oh, it's quite literally doubled down
on this. Well, you know, this is improves public safety
to give criminal illegal aliens uh drivers' licenses. And it's
(06:54):
no different in places like Boston, Massachusetts, if they're a
sanctuary city, providing basically cover for criminals.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, in the case you're talking about, yeah, the semi
driver got a commercial driver's license in California. He was
inadequately trained. And it wasn't in California that the crash, Yeah,
it was in Florida. So this affects the whole country.
So Bondi sent a letter last week that asked for
a response by Tuesday that confirms these cities commitment to
(07:27):
complying with federal law and the work they're doing to
stop the impediment of federal immigration enforcement. The letter was
sent to several other cities and states around the nation
that the DOJ has designated as sanctuary jurisdictions, who said
silence in the face of oppression is not an option.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
This Boston mayor ought to be ashamed. I mean, how
many more innocent people are going to have to die
before people like her him? You know, Newscom stopped playing
games with the safety of Americans and everyone here.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Frankly, well, you know, I don't know. Well, this is
why the dj is sending out letters and asking for
answers and what they're doing to help law enforcement and
help you know, the the you know ice in all
of this. But they're getting pushback and then this Michelle
(08:26):
wou goes into this hole woke. You know, this is
not who we are. They're attacking communities that embody diversity.
So the diversity is, yeah, they're not from here, and
they're not legally here. That's the diversity she's defending.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You can't I'm not able to, you know, twist my
mind into a pretzel to understand that one.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, it's Gavin Newsome. You don't have to understand it.
Look at this is what the left does. So they're
on the wrong side of every issue, including do they
stand with Americans or do they stand with illegals? They
stand with illegals.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well, I know it's not about me understanding. It's me
not being able to drink the kool aid like people
on the left, and this mayor WU and others like
new scum. I cannot reckon it. There's I don't understand
how anybody the people who are out here with videos
screaming you know, you know, and protesting and standing in
the way of these ice agents and others. I don't
understand your mentality. And I cannot twist my you know,
(09:28):
myself into a pressole to figure it out. I won't, Frankly,
I just I'm so confused by where they're coming from.
Other than you know, why do you feel like you
or anyone else shouldn't have to follow the letter of
the law like I do.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well, you can look at Kathy Hokeel, governor of New York.
You can look at JB. Pritzker, governor of Illinois. Look
at any of the blue states or blue cities, and
this is the frame of mind that they're in is
that you know that they're protecting diversity and democracy and
(10:04):
it's all bs. Do you really think that they think
they're doing that?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean, are you asking me personally or rhetorically? Sure,
I mean no, I don't think so. I think there's
something far bigger at play here that we've talked at
nauseum about for quite some time. I mean, open our borders,
you're you know, unfortunately, we have a party at the
Democrat Party has for quite some time been failing, failing
(10:29):
these cities, failing their states, and the people are walking
away from the Democrat Party. They open up the borders,
they continue to try to bring in a new voter
base because the ones that they have used and abused
and frankly not help protected or made better, you know,
by the way of their daily lives, are walking away.
(10:50):
The Democrat Party is desperate and they continue to step
on a rake and people are paying attention, thank god,
which is why we have a president who had a
resounding win. Well even these blue states.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Well, what I don't get is, you know, Boston seems
like a pretty tough place to me. How could they
end up electing this mayor like Michelle Wu.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well, I feel the same way about you know, parts
of New York too. Well.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I was going to say, in New Jersey with Phil Murphy,
like this woke feminine, where did that come from? I
don't understand who votes for these people? You know, who
is it? That's not been my experience. If that's what
the people in Boston are like. I've been to Boston,
it's not what my experience with the people from New
(11:36):
Jersey are alike. Have friends and dealt with many of
those and been there too, and it just seems like
it's odd to me that they would, you know, elect
a woke feminine dude like Phil Murphy to be governor
of New Jersey or this woke, wild, crazy Michelle wu
as mayor of Boston. It just doesn't fit to me.
(12:00):
I don't you know. I just don't know how that is.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I think a lot of times, Blaze, this is a
vote against the Orange man bad trumped arrangement syndrome, which is,
you know, big to you know, the Republicans party. They're bad,
they're racist, they're this and that. I think it's a
vote against that, not maybe sometimes for these woke weirdos.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Well, I don't. Well again, I mean, that's misplaced and stupid.
So you're going to vote for against Trump in choosing
your governor or your mayor. That doesn't make sense either.
There's a potential link between hearing aids and a reduction
in dementia risk. According to new research from the Framingham
Heart Study. The nearly three thousand adults studied who used
(12:44):
hearing aids due to hearing loss cut their risk of
dementia by more than half. Researchers say there's no benefit
for adults who used hearing aids after the age of seventy.
Doctors say the study highlights the importance of early intervention
and identification of hearing loss. So it's kind of interesting,
(13:04):
you know how that and especially with the age difference.
You know, I would think that it would be a
physical thing.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So I'm curious. So you say, researchers say there's no
benefit for adults who use hearing aids after the age
of seventy, you would think that cognitively, it would be
beneficial to anyone and especially those older, to be able
to hear and be engaged in to have that, you know,
cognitive it's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Interaction. Yeah, well, I mean this is my point on
why where. Now, maybe it looks like maybe it's a
physical thing that has to do with your body, and
after a certain age, the physicality of it doesn't matter
so much because your body's changed. I'm only assuming because
they study these adults, and the ones that used hearing
(14:02):
aids to aid their hearing loss cut their risk of
dementia by more than half, but then once they got
to age seventy, it didn't have any benefit at all.
So you would think that contrary to what we were
just talking about. Seems to me like that would indicate
that it's a physical effect that it's having, not a
(14:26):
mental one or a cerebral one or an intellectual one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Now see, I have to be careful here because I
don't want to upset my parents. But I met to
the point where many actual members of my family are
in that elder aging group that their hearing is going
and I noticed me trying to be delicate about it
doesn't help. The denial is there. And as you were
(14:55):
talking about this, I'm thinking, Okay, my mom is an
example of this. She you know, retired English and reading teacher.
She consumes books, you know, every day she wants to
learn something new. And I feel like I could use
this as like, hey, mom, you know it would help
benefit you to get your hearing checked so that you,
(15:18):
you know, curb the you know, the possibility of dementia
creeping in, or you know, I could use it as something,
you know, some type of argument or something to help
get her to go get her hearing checked. But that's
not the case. I guess the study because she's over seventy.
I guess according to the study, it's not going to
help her and I won't be able to well.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And I guess your plan is foiled boo. And I mean,
you know, I've had experience hearing loss because of you know,
we're in these headphones for the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, I'm very protective of my hearing and it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I always have to tell everybody because my whole family
does this, and I don't deny it. They're always like, well,
how come you know you're always saying repeat that what
I'm like, because look at me when you're talking to me.
Don't look the opposite way and talk to me. I
can't hear you when you do that.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well, would you wear hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, if it got bad enough, because you know, because
right now I really don't care what they have to
say any.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
So I'm curious. So you say, researchers say there's no
benefit for adults who use hearing aids after the age
of seventy, you would think that cognitively, it would be
beneficial to anyone and especially those older, to be able
to hear and be engaged in to have that, you know,
cognitive it's the word I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Interaction. Yeah, well, I mean this is my point on
why where. Now, maybe it looks like maybe it's a
physical thing that has to do with your body, and
after a certain age, the physicality of it doesn't matter
so much because your body's changed. I'm only assuming because
they study these adults, and the ones that used hearing
(14:02):
aids to aid their hearing loss cut their risk of
dementia by more than half, but then once they got
to age seventy, it didn't have any benefit at all.
So you would think that contrary to what we were
just talking about. Seems to me like that would indicate
that it's a physical effect that it's having, not a
(14:26):
mental one or a cerebral one or an intellectual one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Now see, I have to be careful here because I
don't want to upset my parents. But I met to
the point where many actual members of my family are
in that elder aging group that their hearing is going
and I noticed me trying to be delicate about it
doesn't help. The denial is there. And as you were
(14:55):
talking about this, I'm thinking, Okay, my mom is an
example of this. She you know, retired English and reading teacher.
She consumes books, you know, every day she wants to
learn something new. And I feel like I could use
this as like, hey, mom, you know it would help
benefit you to get your hearing checked so that you,
(15:18):
you know, curb the you know, the possibility of dementia
creeping in, or you know, I could use it as something,
you know, some type of argument or something to help
get her to go get her hearing checked. But that's
not the case. I guess the study because she's over seventy.
I guess according to the study, it's not going to
help her and I won't be able to well.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And I guess your plan is foiled boo. And I mean,
you know, I've had experience hearing loss because of you know,
we're in these headphones for the last fifty years.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yeah, I'm very protective of my hearing and it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I always have to tell everybody because my whole family
does this, and I don't deny it. They're always like, well,
how come you know you're always saying repeat that what
I'm like, because look at me when you're talking to me.
Don't look the opposite way and talk to me. I
can't hear you when you do that.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well, would you wear hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, if it got bad enough, because you know, because
right now I really don't care what they have to
say any.
