Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The manhunt continues today for the suspect and Saturday's shootings
on Interstate seventy five in eastern Kentucky. Five people were
seriously injured when a gunman opened fire along a stretch
of the freeway in Laurel County. Investigators say they recovered
an AR fifteen rifle from the woods near the interstate.
They also confirmed that the thirty two year old Joseph
(00:27):
Couch is the man that they're looking for. They say
he should be considered armed and dangerous, and note that
he served four years in the National Guard. The number
of various schools have already made the decision to call
off classes today as the search for Couch continues. The
mother of the teenager accused of killing four people at
a Georgia high school says she called the school before
(00:48):
the shooting to warn about what she believed was an
extreme emergency. The Washington Post says records show that Marcy
Gray called the Appalachi High School about a half hour
before the shooting. It was on the phone for about
ten minutes. Gray says she was the one who notified
a counselor at the school that they needed to immediately
(01:09):
check on her son. Miami Dolphin Star was detained by
police ahead of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Wide out Tyreek Hill was handcuffed outside of hard Rock
Stadium for a traffic violation. ESPN reports that the violation
was reckless driving and that a verbal altercation with police occurred.
(01:31):
Hill was handcuffed, sighted and then released. Hill ended up
playing in the game, catching seven passes for one hundred
and thirty yards and a touchdown. The thirty year old
told the media after the game that he really didn't
know why he was detained.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Speaking of detained, now, we know the mother called in
blaze and we had to sit down with the father
in law enforcement. Months before last year.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We had the FBI interview the student and the father,
and while investigating threats of a school shooting posted online,
we know that the mother called and warned the school
thirty minutes beforehand. I'm what else can you do?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I mean, this is so frustrating and upsetting to hear this,
and then too, you know, last week it was us
discussing the father after the sit down with the FBI
in the post and the child buying his kid a
you know, was it an AAR fifteen?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I believe it was, and he bought it for him
for Christmas supposedly. Yeah, And now the grandfather came out
and said that that father is an abuser and a
loser and he deserves the death penalty for what he
did to the shooter, for the way that he raised him.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Wow. Now I was reading in some reports and you
and let me know if you came across the same
stuff too, where the child was upset about. We knew
last week it was about bullying, but now is it
about trans acceptance?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well, he was supposedly bullied for being gay and he's
not gay, but they said day in and day out
that he was bullied at school for being gay, falsely
accused of being gay.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I did wonder all last week, like where's mom and I.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And mom's a drug addict?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yees see? So at first I was like his mom
passed away? Why is mom not in the picture? All
we knew was very little about the child. And then
the you know, the drama was that the dad was
you know, going to face charges as well. So now
mom is out saying that the father or that she
actually my lord called the school. Do we know what
(03:42):
the school said? Why did nobody do anything? I mean,
you got the shoot her in one of your other
stories there you're talking about was in Kentucky were I mean,
there's nearby schools shut down because of that craziness that's
going on there where someone's firing from a highway bridge.
And my why on earth would you not treat it
(04:02):
something just as serious? If a mother is calling in
saying I'm concerned my son, my own son is going
to cause harm at school today, lock it down?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, why wouldn't you? I mean I don't We don't
know the rest of the details, and I don't think
the school has responded publicly. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You got to wonder if they're concerned about you know,
clearly you know who took the call. Maybe someone didn't
say something to enough people. I mean, you would think
there would be protocol at this point for any kind
of threats to the schools, at least to me. I
(04:40):
hope parents are out there, you know, asking what are
the protocols when threats were made to a school, your
child's school.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, I think the FBI has some answering to do.
I think the school district has some answering to do.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I agree, use headlines and the talk you need.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on
ninety four to three WSC.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Someone shared a meme with me Blaze that it's pretty
sad when the most accurate people with regards to reporting
nowadays are are the weather forecasters. When you know, we
lamit a lot with weather. When the forecasting is wrong,
we blame the forecasters. But nowadays, when you know you
feel like you can't trust what the media or even
(05:29):
shoot your politicians as administry are telling you, it's pretty
bad when you know the most accurate reporting is the meteorologists.
I had to laugh a little at that one. I
feel for them. I do, actually the meteorologists.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, and we shouldn't be lumping them in the same
category as mainstream news media or politicians.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well kind of make the mean, but well I could
understand the sentiments of it. It's hard to, you know,
separate fat from fiction. You just shared something in the
break there about it. I mean, you know, the Sunday
what was it, the Sunday Morning Show it's just people
are sick of being gas lighted with a bunch of
propaganda and lies.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, CBS Sunday Morning, Ted copple in for Jane Paul
yesterday with a special election show, and then interspersed throughout
where these reports about don't believe your lie in eyes
or your lion wallet. Things are much better with the economy,
with the job market than you think they are, and
(06:30):
so there's a disconnect with voters and what the true
facts are. And then you go read stories about how
they're touting these latest job numbers, except that native born
citizens of the United States are doing poorly as for
they're losing jobs while people born in other countries are
(06:52):
actually gaining jobs. And then the jobs that they're touting
are part time jobs. So anyway, all these numbers are manipulated.
And then they amount and they have the gall to say,
don't believe how you feel you're doing personally. You're really
doing much better than you think, and the economy's doing
much better than you think, and in the job market's
(07:15):
doing much better than you think.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'd be curious how that's working out for them in
their ratings, and certainly the ultimate ratings will come November
at the ballot box.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, I mean, I don't you know ratings. I have
no clue. But the as far as what they said,
it was propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah. Well, it's our duty and responsibility to set the
record straight more just a hit.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Listen all day, get the app now at ninety four
to three WSC dot com. Back to Kelly and Blaze
and speaking.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Of making a return, thank you to everyone. Yesterday, fourth
annual Memorial Motorcycle Ride to remember nine to eleven here
in the Low Country went off despite a deluge of
monsooning rain all day. I really thought we were going
to get a break unfortunately in the weather, and we
did not. It was a rainer, shine ride and we
had one hundred and fifteen patriotic, brave bikers from as
(08:10):
far away as Pennsylvania. We had a rider come in
literally on their bike, fifteen hours from Houston, Texas. I
met a lot of listeners who love us Blaze here
on ninety four to three WSC, and I was so
thankful to meet them. And I can't say thank you
enough to the police escort from Charleston Police Department to
Mount Pleasant Police, to all the people who helped to
(08:32):
volunteer the organizers. I want to quickly share a tale
of two Andrews, so I say often God doesn't do
random and yesterday had two incredible examples of that. One
was from Andrew that quite literally I yelled at to
on a traffic light on my way yesterday morning to
pick up the ride on James Island. Saw a guy
(08:54):
coming up behind me on a motorcycle and I just
turned around at the traffic light right before it turned green.
Had a few I said, Hey, if you're going to
the nine to eleven right, just follow me, and he said,
I hate. He looked at me very bizarrely, had no
idea what our ride was, you know that it was
even happening or what it was. He said, did you
say nine to eleven? He said, I was in Tower
(09:15):
two before it collapsed at the on his bike, as
you know, roaring motorcycles were sitting there waiting for the
light to go green. And I just said to him,
we both just got deer eyed, and I said, do
you have ten minutes? Will you follow me? And he
did so. He came to the ride as we were
all lining up motorcycles. I introduced him to some of
(09:35):
the volunteers and everybody who was organizing the event. I
just told him, thank you, thank you for you know,
just on a on a whim following me from that
traffic light. But yeah, he was. He was able to
make it out of Tower two before it collapsed at
ill fated day the course, remembering nine to eleven coming
up on Wednesday, despite losing many of his co workers.
(09:58):
So just an incre thing to have happened on the
way to the ride yesterday that I'm so thankful for everybody,
including the second Andrew, which one of our frequent flyers
here I call him kept carpenter Andrew. You know Andrew
who flies the Trump flags and triggers people all over
the country from bridges and overpasses. He came out flying
(10:19):
an American flag, and he made sure that there was
absolutely no biker left behind, and that included me on
Ruby with my special sidecar passenger who happened to be
an eleven year old sixth grader named Jack's and his
mama bear Bridge showed up two to help us sign
in all one hundred and I believe fifteen bikers who
again brave that rain, And what a cool story to
have for his first on a bike. I didn't know
(10:41):
it was his first bike ride until we got back
and survived, just you know, the monsoon mess. But I said, man,
you get to say you had a one hundred and
fifteen patriotic gang gutsy bikers. That's your first, you know,
whether it was a breakdown or blinding cold rain. Jackson
has a story to tell and his mom. He and
his mom joined us last hour. She said, their church
(11:01):
coming up. I think this is great with regards to
our youth who weren't alive or around for you know,
the nine to eleven terror attacks were over twenty years ago.
Who you know, we want to make sure they remember.
You know, we never forget. And she said their church
is going to be doing like a four hour special
for their youth. I'll get the details on that and
share it with you. I think that that is an
(11:22):
incredible thing. And Jose called in quickly. Jose he said,
you know on Wednesday, it's mandated nationally for all all
of us, whether it's a school or a police department,
that we should be flying our American flags at half staff.
And you wanted to add what quickly? Go ahead, appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Old on I believe that all of my children had
their first motorcycle ride in your side guard, and I
believe that all of them had a chance to film
the Fike Memorial ride from the side guard.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well, thank you by the way for trusting and trusting's
their safety with me. That means a lot.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I trust you to give me the real deal on
so much, Kelly, and most of the low Country does also.
You employees are out there like the town crier. There's
so much bad information. It's not even information, it's propaganda. Y'all.
Just slice through it and go right to the meat
of the matter and explain what the bottom line is
not after you get all the window dressing and the
(12:23):
propaganda and the spin gone, what it's going to shake
down to when it gets to the people, when it
affects you and me and my family.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, thanks, hose, Yeah, appreciate you. That means a lot
because we do work pretty hard to you know, pages
to both sides, call through the bs and bring you
facts and then of course tell us what we think
about it and invite your opinion too. At seven two
two five five. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
From major events to local headlines, this is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three. Now back to Kelly
and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Today is Teddy Bear Day. The Teddy Bear was created
to commemorate American President Theodore Roosevelt. In nineteen oh two,
Roosevelt went on a bear hunting trip near Onward, Mississippi.
Unlike some of the other hunters in his party, Roosevelt
had not been able to shoot a single bear. Roosevelt's
aides trapped and tied a black bear to a willow tree.
(13:26):
They summoned Roosevelt and asked him to shoot it. Roosevelt
declined to shoot the bear because he thought it was
highly unsportsmanlike. The word of this soon traveled across the
country via newspaper stories, and Clifford Berryman, a political cartoonist,
saw the report and chose to parody the President's unwillingness
to shoot the bear, and he did it in a
(13:48):
funny manner in his newspaper cartoon. Morris Mitchum, the proprietor
of a Brooklyn candy shop, saw that cartoon and had
an idea. He and his wife Rose also produced stuffed animals,
and the Mitchams decided to make a plush toy bear
for the President who refused to shoot a bear. He
dubbed it Teddy's Bear.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is just bizarre.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You never heard the story be.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
No and disturbing, and I don't think I can look
at a bear the same again.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, the Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well that part I knew, but not the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, I mean it just shows you even back then
they were how much they were worried about image. Right,
So his aides are like, you didn't bag a bear
on this hunting trip. Here, we're gonna trap one and
tie it to a tree, and you're gonna shoot it.
So that because he was a well known game hunter,
and to his credit, he refused. And that's another reason
(14:42):
to celebrate Teddy Bear today Teddy Bear Day.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
This is pretty hilarious. So the big debate coming up
tomorrow night between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala
Harrison into NBC News. Harris is preparing for a variety
of potential, unscripted and perhaps history making according to Them moments,
including that the possibility Trump will make derogatory comments about her,
(15:15):
including mumbling this B word.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
What.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, this is all speculation, according to NBC News, with
sources familiar with her preparations, that they're practicing for him
to attack her, you know, with derogatory comments, including the
B word, and perhaps create a history making moment that's unscripted.
(15:43):
Even though they're practicing and scripting it. Do they know
what unscripted means?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is insane and I love you talk about hilarious.
Listen to that Fox Listen to that Fox report just now,
that's hilarious. When the Trump campaign says, what's a debate
for up? That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, here's another one. So ask for comment on this story,
Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chang said, why are they even
thinking about that word associated with her?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Agreed?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, So the ridiculousness, the empty vessel of Kamala hair
sound full display tomorrow night. We'll see if she's practiced
well enough to come up with a historic making, you know,
off the cuff, unscripted moment.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All the latest election coverage is on ninety four to
three WUSC. This is Charleston's Morning News. Back to Kelly
and Blaze.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Hey, Kelly Flaze. So that's kind of funny being that
she's taking Joe's place. Maybe they'll just encourage her after
the debate. Hey, Kamala, you did a great job. You
answered all the questions. Hooray. Yeah. I think that would
(16:56):
be just so funny if that's what they do.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's like, oh, yeah, that's a victory.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think the bar has been set pretty low.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's exactly what they're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, Biden's debate was a debacle, so of course anything
she does, she's showing up. Get the Participation Award ready.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Just standing there and breathing would be a better performance
than Joe Biden put on back in June. Geez, that
was a train wreck. So the yeah, the bar is
not set very high, like you just said, And all
she has to do is survive it, and mainstream media
will be touting her as the victor.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Take care of the rest.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And then you know, And if you were around for
that last story when I was just talking about where
NBC News is reporting that she's preparing for a historic
unscripted moment, think about that for a minute. So they're hoping,
beyond hope that Trump will attack her and she'll come
up with some one liner. You know, you're no John
(18:00):
Kennedy or one of those, and or there you go again,
or think of any of these historic debate moments from
the past. And that's what they're hoping for. So they're
not hoping that she's going to make an impact with
her brilliant policy proposals or anything else. They're hoping that
(18:21):
they can get some kind of one liner over on
Trump and it goes viral, and therefore they get to
claim victory.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
One hundred percent. They just want to go viral because
people aren't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, we're out of time. Talk to you again tomorrow.

you have ten minutes? Will you follow me? And he
did so. He came to the ride as we were
all lining up motorcycles. I introduced him to some of
(09:35):
the volunteers and everybody who was organizing the event. I
just told him, thank you, thank you for you know,
just on a on a whim following me from that
traffic light. But yeah, he was. He was able to
make it out of Tower two before it collapsed at
ill fated day the course, remembering nine to eleven coming
up on Wednesday, despite losing many of his co workers.
(09:58):
So just an incre thing to have happened on the
way to the ride yesterday that I'm so thankful for everybody,
including the second Andrew, which one of our frequent flyers
here I call him kept carpenter Andrew. You know Andrew
who flies the Trump flags and triggers people all over
the country from bridges and overpasses. He came out flying
(10:19):
an American flag, and he made sure that there was
absolutely no biker left behind, and that included me on
Ruby with my special sidecar passenger who happened to be
an eleven year old sixth grader named Jack's and his
mama bear Bridge showed up two to help us sign
in all one hundred and I believe fifteen bikers who
again brave that rain, And what a cool story to
have for his first on a bike. I didn't know
(10:41):
it was his first bike ride until we got back
and survived, just you know, the monsoon mess. But I said, man,
you get to say you had a one hundred and
fifteen patriotic gang gutsy bikers. That's your first, you know,
whether it was a breakdown or blinding cold rain. Jackson
has a story to tell and his mom. He and
his mom joined us last hour. She said, their church
(11:01):
coming up. I think this is great with regards to
our youth who weren't alive or around for you know,
the nine to eleven terror attacks were over twenty years ago.
Who you know, we want to make sure they remember.
You know, we never forget. And she said their church
is going to be doing like a four hour special
for their youth. I'll get the details on that and
share it with you. I think that that is an
(11:22):
incredible thing. And Jose called in quickly. Jose he said,
you know on Wednesday, it's mandated nationally for all all
of us, whether it's a school or a police department,
that we should be flying our American flags at half staff.
And you wanted to add what quickly? Go ahead, appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Old on I believe that all of my children had
their first motorcycle ride in your side guard, and I
believe that all of them had a chance to film
the Fike Memorial ride from the side guard.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Well, thank you by the way for trusting and trusting's
their safety with me. That means a lot.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I trust you to give me the real deal on
so much, Kelly, and most of the low Country does also.
You employees are out there like the town crier. There's
so much bad information. It's not even information, it's propaganda. Y'all.
Just slice through it and go right to the meat
of the matter and explain what the bottom line is
not after you get all the window dressing and the
(12:23):
propaganda and the spin gone, what it's going to shake
down to when it gets to the people, when it
affects you and me and my family.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, thanks, hose, Yeah, appreciate you. That means a lot
because we do work pretty hard to you know, pages
to both sides, call through the bs and bring you
facts and then of course tell us what we think
about it and invite your opinion too. At seven two
two five five. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
From major events to local headlines, this is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three. Now back to Kelly
and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Today is Teddy Bear Day. The Teddy Bear was created
to commemorate American President Theodore Roosevelt. In nineteen oh two,
Roosevelt went on a bear hunting trip near Onward, Mississippi.
Unlike some of the other hunters in his party, Roosevelt
had not been able to shoot a single bear. Roosevelt's
aides trapped and tied a black bear to a willow tree.
(13:26):
They summoned Roosevelt and asked him to shoot it. Roosevelt
declined to shoot the bear because he thought it was
highly unsportsmanlike. The word of this soon traveled across the
country via newspaper stories, and Clifford Berryman, a political cartoonist,
saw the report and chose to parody the President's unwillingness
to shoot the bear, and he did it in a
(13:48):
funny manner in his newspaper cartoon. Morris Mitchum, the proprietor
of a Brooklyn candy shop, saw that cartoon and had
an idea. He and his wife Rose also produced stuffed animals,
and the Mitchams decided to make a plush toy bear
for the President who refused to shoot a bear. He
dubbed it Teddy's Bear.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
This is just bizarre.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
You never heard the story be.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
No and disturbing, and I don't think I can look
at a bear the same again.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, the Teddy Bear is named after Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Well that part I knew, but not the other stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, I mean it just shows you even back then
they were how much they were worried about image. Right,
So his aides are like, you didn't bag a bear
on this hunting trip. Here, we're gonna trap one and
tie it to a tree, and you're gonna shoot it.
So that because he was a well known game hunter,
and to his credit, he refused. And that's another reason
(14:42):
to celebrate Teddy Bear today Teddy Bear Day.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
This is pretty hilarious. So the big debate coming up
tomorrow night between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala
Harrison into NBC News. Harris is preparing for a variety
of potential, unscripted and perhaps history making according to Them moments,
including that the possibility Trump will make derogatory comments about her,
(15:15):
including mumbling this B word.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
What.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, this is all speculation, according to NBC News, with
sources familiar with her preparations, that they're practicing for him
to attack her, you know, with derogatory comments, including the
B word, and perhaps create a history making moment that's unscripted.
(15:43):
Even though they're practicing and scripting it. Do they know
what unscripted means?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is insane and I love you talk about hilarious.
Listen to that Fox Listen to that Fox report just now,
that's hilarious. When the Trump campaign says, what's a debate
for up? That's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, here's another one. So ask for comment on this story,
Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Chang said, why are they even
thinking about that word associated with her?
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Agreed?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, So the ridiculousness, the empty vessel of Kamala hair
sound full display tomorrow night. We'll see if she's practiced
well enough to come up with a historic making, you know,
off the cuff, unscripted moment.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All the latest election coverage is on ninety four to
three WUSC. This is Charleston's Morning News. Back to Kelly
and Blaze.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Hey, Kelly Flaze. So that's kind of funny being that
she's taking Joe's place. Maybe they'll just encourage her after
the debate. Hey, Kamala, you did a great job. You
answered all the questions. Hooray. Yeah. I think that would
(16:56):
be just so funny if that's what they do.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's like, oh, yeah, that's a victory.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think the bar has been set pretty low.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's exactly what they're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Yeah, Biden's debate was a debacle, so of course anything
she does, she's showing up. Get the Participation Award ready.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Just standing there and breathing would be a better performance
than Joe Biden put on back in June. Geez, that
was a train wreck. So the yeah, the bar is
not set very high, like you just said, And all
she has to do is survive it, and mainstream media
will be touting her as the victor.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Take care of the rest.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And then you know, And if you were around for
that last story when I was just talking about where
NBC News is reporting that she's preparing for a historic
unscripted moment, think about that for a minute. So they're hoping,
beyond hope that Trump will attack her and she'll come
up with some one liner. You know, you're no John
(18:00):
Kennedy or one of those, and or there you go again,
or think of any of these historic debate moments from
the past. And that's what they're hoping for. So they're
not hoping that she's going to make an impact with
her brilliant policy proposals or anything else. They're hoping that
(18:21):
they can get some kind of one liner over on
Trump and it goes viral, and therefore they get to
claim victory.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
One hundred percent. They just want to go viral because
people aren't paying attention.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, we're out of time. Talk to you again tomorrow.
