Speaker 1 (00:03):
News headlines and the talk you need. This is Charleston's
Morning News with Kelly and plays on ninety four to
three WSC.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Temperatures and nice outside right now. Crack the windows as
you had inbound this morning. Certainly going to heat up.
We'll look at the forecast here just ahead, plus the
roadways as you had inbound this morning. On a Tuesday
ED dish of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Recovering this morning's top stories. The US military is deploying
seven hundred Marines to Los Angeles's anti ice rallies and
protests continue to take place. The group will increase military
presence in the city after the Trump administration ordered two
thousand California National Guard troops there over the weekend and
claims to be sending possibly another two thousand. US Northern
(00:45):
Command noted that the Marines are trained in de escalation,
crowd control, and standing rules for use of force. This
comes as California's attorney general is suing the Trump administration
over the National Guard being deployed. Rob Bonta called President
Trump's order unlawful and said the President's trying to manufacture
chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends.
(01:07):
He said the state is asking for a court to
put a stop to the unprecedented order. Over the weekend,
Governor Gavin Newsom claimed the violent protests in Los Angeles
are the President's fault, telling MSNBC that President made up
this crisis in order to move toward a constitutional crisis.
Trump says the violence was already escalating and that he
(01:28):
had no choice.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Isn't it unbelievable that Gavin Newscomb, who is out here
begging for Tom Homan to arrest him, is attempting to
say that this is Trump and his administration's fault. Yes,
this is the old simating gas lighting. What a lunatic.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, I mean, it's right out of their playbook truth.
That's what democrats do.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well. I just I want Tom Homan to oblige, oblige
Newscom please for all the Californians held hostage by his
lawless Cammie clown dictatorship. I mean, please, can you imagine
that Gavin Newsom getting purple walked home.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I've been hearing multiple reports about how you know, neighbors
are disappearing. You don't know if your mom or dad's
going to come home. They're waiting outside of schools and
arresting children. I mean, they're trying to turn this totally
into you know that Trump Trump promised to go after
rapists and murders. Now he's arresting little children and all
(02:30):
of this kind of stuff. So they're trying to soak
it for what it's worth, but it's not working.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
They're super silent. When former President Obama, you know, deported
millions of illegals, there was no drama came across. I
don't have the woman's name in front of me, but
it was a sit down back during the Obama administration
and it was one of his advisors and she was
doing a report. I sit down with an interview news interview,
(02:58):
and she's saying, well, you know, Congress is mandated that
we follow immigration law and will some families be separated? Yeah,
that's going to happen. I'd never seen that before.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, Biden did deportations also.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Sure, but that didn't fit their narrative though.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, you know, I don't know if they went after
them like this with the ice raids. I think the
ice raids is well, I know, at least in Los Angeles.
That's what's set all of this off.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well understandable, what set all this off was our border
being a wide open and allowed to be infiltrated our
country by people who are bad actors. And that's a
nice way of describing rapists and murderers and so on.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, I'm talking specifically about Los Angeles. It's the ice
raids that set this off. And then it's organized and
you see the same thing that we saw here in Charleston.
They've been delivering bricks and baseball bats and frozen water
bottles and other things for these protesters to use against
(04:01):
police and ICE agents in law enforcement. And now you're
starting to see the protests spread because it's organized.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, so that'll expose how our own tax dollars blaze
are being fund you know, funding this agenda and others.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now you have them in New York and Boston and
Atlanta and you know, so these protests are spreading across
the country.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, but this is the time to show it will
not stand. Pam Bondi is going to remain consistent on
the whole fo on the FAFO. There's time to find out.
I mean there she was on Handity last night. I
know Fox, you know, the hunt, root and prosecute is coming.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I mean, she said they're coming after him.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But what think about the alternative here for all the
people complaining about this, you know, the Marines. Oh my god,
what's the alternative that is far more ugly? What do
people want to see happen an officer killed by a
cinder block to the head. I mean, look at the
video of some of these terrorists attempting to light mounted
pull Lease on fire. Did you see that with the fireworks?
(05:05):
The insanity of this?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, well, so far the troops are just protecting the
federal buildings. They're not out there clashing with the protesters.
That's all. La Louise.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Let's discuss this. Do you think Trump should you know,
presumptively pardon any law enforcement or military for that matter,
who defend their life with a necessary force. To me,
that's when this ends. No more escalation. He's an end,
not escalate, because the good guys have to win. Talking
about the deployment of over two thousand National Guard members
(05:37):
by the President to LA in response to the riots,
and now include seven hundred Marines on standby to assist.
And if you missed it over the weekend, the President
told reporters this was in New Jersey, on Sunday plane side.
So the audio is pretty crappy, but he said, you know,
if police officers get spat on, which is some big
(06:00):
thing apparently with these anti ice protesters and Los Angeles
to spit on police officers, he wants them to hit back,
and she doubled down. Attorney General Pambondy on Hannity last night, Listen, I.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Said, you spit, we hit Get ready. If you spit
on a federal law enforcement officer, we are going to
charge you with a crime. Federally. You are looking at
up to five years maximum in prison.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
To Pambondy, that's spitting. Now, imagine hurling maltov cocktails, you know, fireworks,
any type of fire. Really they're using. I noticed between gasoline.
They're lighting these cars on fire with gasoline, throwing bricks
and cinder blocks. I mean, they're sending a message that
you even spit on a police officer and you got issues.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, they're throwing bodily fluids on them. They're freezing water bottles.
So when the press says they're throwing water bottles makes
it sound like kind of, you know, not as dangerous
as it really is, because they freeze these water bottles
as well be bricks.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, the last person outside of California to be throwing
bricks over a bridge like we've seen this video now
going viral from over the weekend of these poor law
enforcement officers down below. They were charged with I believe
it was a second degree murder. So what's you know?
The lawlessness in California, tempted right, has to stop.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, I think we all realize that the only people
that don't realize that they are the people in charge because
they believe that they're peaceful protests.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Their definition of peaceful clearly doesn't match mine.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
And of course it needs to stop. The only people
out there saying it doesn't need to stop are Gavin
Newsom and Karen Bass and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, yes, and others. There was and I don't have
the city official who was standing at a podium. I
don't know if you call her like a short Hispanic
woman who is one of their city council members in
the area, who was like if they you know, so
basically escalate, then we escalate. And it was like, wait
a second, Trump's right, when he's sitting here talking about
(08:07):
insurrectionist here you are you know these are members of
you know, these are leaders of the community, elected members
to their whether it was House, Senate or whatever in
their area of the city council's town council, who are
fomenting violence.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, that's not the people that they're talking about. According
to them, they're more concerned with the human rights issues
and the constitutionality of what this administration's doing. And of
course there's going to be some bad actors, you know.
That's how they're trying to frame this same way they
try to frame the Summer of Love or whatever you
(08:46):
want to call it in twenty twenty before the election,
when they fomented all the violence and we're burning down
cities Minneapolis, when Tim Walls's wife threw open the windows
and relished in the beautiful smell of burning rubber.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Tim Walls the same guy who called up the National
Guard during COVID to shoot people sitting on their porch
with paintball guns in the face. This guy is a
lunatic and so is his wife.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well that's what who's running the Democratic Party now? You
lost your moral Democrat Party now. And I don't mean
Tim Wallas is running it. I mean the lunatics. They've
lost any kind of moral or common sense bearing House
Minority Leader Hakim Jefferies is criticizing President Trump over his
(09:37):
response to the pro immigration protests in Los Angeles. The
New York Democrats said Trump and the GOP have zero
credibility when it comes to issues of law and order.
Jefferies went on to say that Trump is using the
protest to distract Americans from his failed administration. He said
Trump hasn't fulfilled any of his day one promises, like
(09:58):
lowering costs or ending the war in Ukraine. Jeffrey is
also stressed that no one is defending unlawful behavior, but
rather American's right to demonstrate peacefully.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Boy, his definition of peaceful is so different than mine and.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
His definition of Americans, I might add.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And law and order. I mean, Hakim Jeffries has been
in his seat long enough under Joe Biden's regime. And
how many times the ways can we say that who's
behind Joe Biden's auto pen is going to go down
the biggest scandal and political you know, my political lifetime.
You want to look at why don't you investigate that
(10:36):
this guy law and order?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Well, this guy was the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I mean zero credibility as far as a CONCERTI.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, now he's minority leader. But so he's coming out
there saying that, you know Trump, So he's joining in
on the narrative of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and
Kamala Harris and all the rest of these crazy asque
Democrats who are saying that you know, Trump is doing
this too, sow chaos and you know, cause discord among
(11:08):
you know, freedom loving Americans who are out there just
protesting their neighbors disappearing, and they're afraid to go to work,
and they're afraid to go to school because ice might
come up and snatch them up with no process. I mean,
it's ridiculous, and it's a losing argument. And I don't
know why they don't realize that it's a losing argument.
But you know, maybe it's not for them. I mean,
(11:29):
we assume, because we're looking through the lens of common sense.
They're probably reading some poll numbers and going all right, well,
you know, at least in these bastions of blue voters,
we can hold on. And if we can hold on,
now here's the thing. I'm going to say something, maybe
a little controversial. If we can hold on to these cities.
(11:50):
And if you look at the electoral map, that's exactly
what it is. It's the population centers that are all
blue and the rest of the country's red. So if
they make the calculation, if we can on in these cities,
maybe we can still execute enough election fraud to come
out on top like we have in the past.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't think that's very controversial to say. I think
that's quite literally potentially their playbooking for quite some time now, maybe,
I mean, but common sense Americans remain the majority, thank
god November showed that, and you know, won't let their
reckless anti American agenda win. So if it has to
be corralled in these blue cities that want to burn
(12:32):
themselves to the ground, with these sanctuary city mayors and
state governors who've chosen to thwart and ignore laws to
support criminals and a llegal terrorists, then you can go
down in your own town. But the rest of America
is not taking part.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well. But if you can't have this unrest in all
these cities and go down and you have to do.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Something, well, thank god this president is that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean, you can't leave them to their own devices, devices,
or they will or they'll destroy everything, and we know
that they will because they have in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, and I think it's important for people to hear
no liberty loving American wants to actually see uniform National
guardsmen or geared up marines in any streets in America.
This is directly in response to the reckless, feckless, useless
leadership in these sanctuary cities. So you know, it would
(13:30):
be nice for these reporters to stand up to Hakeem
Jeffries and ask them real questions.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But all of these people can't see through their hatred
of Trump. It blurs their vision and blurs their common
sense obviously. I mean, do you really think there's going
to be a point where they come to their senses
and Hakeem Jeffries or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom or
Karen Bass saying, you know what, we've thought about this,
(13:56):
and I've changed my mind and we really need to
you know, qull this and get this un there.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Now they're falling on their sword and they're also losing,
whether it's moral high ground or at the ballot box.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So thank you for listening this morning. I appreciate you
taking the time out to spend with US. General Motors
says it more than doubled its sales of electric vehicles
in the first five months of this year compared to
twenty twenty four. The automaker says it sold sixty two,
eight hundred and thirty eves from January to May, with
Chevrolet making up nearly thirty eight thousand of the vehicles sold.
(14:33):
Over the same five months, Forward sold just over thirty
four thousand evs. GM sales for twenty twenty five were
boosted by several vehicles that were not available last year,
including the Cadillac Optique and Vistique, along with Silverado EV
pickup truck. Now, to show you they're touting these great numbers,
they sold sixty two, eight hundred and thirty evs in
(14:56):
the first five months of this year. Isn't that fantastic
for General Motors?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Out of how many?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
To show you how far General Motors has fallen, how
far the US auto industry has fallen. Do you know
how many Impalas they sold in nineteen sixty five? No clue,
one million, forty six thousand, five hundred and fourteen Impalas.
Just that one model car one million forty six thousand,
(15:24):
five hundred and fourteen, and here GM's bragging about selling
sixty two thousand electric vehicles. Drop in the bucket. And
I have nothing against electric vehicles. I think they're pretty cool.
You know. I don't think the government should mandate that
everyone has to drive one.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it's I've been pretty open about my car is
going on ten years old at this point, and I've
been looking to replace it. And I'm not there on evs.
If you are, great, we both have choices.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Well yeah, so, you know, but it just it shows
you how far that industry is for many different reasons.
But I've just found it laughable that they're out there
touting how they sold a whole sixty two, eight hundred
and thirty. They're still losing money on them, so's ford
and and I mean, hopefully they can swing that back around,
(16:17):
but I think they're going to have to make adjustments.
And you've seen like Dodge, you know, declared that they
were going all electric, now they're backing off.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Glad to hear that Dodge.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
General Motors has announced that, you know, they're developing a
new V eight engine internal rebustion.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Really yeah, good to hear.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Well, I mean there needs to be competing products in
the marketplace and made the best one win exactly. And
believe it or not, this isn't the first time that
there's been a battle between these technologies.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh my god, go back to the Vault. Remember what
they did to it. They smashed it and put it
in the Junkyard real quick. The Chevy Vault along. How
far back was that the sixties? No, it was it
was way back, this Vault. Yeah, and they started coming
out with this technology now to compete with the gasoline engine.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Well, actually from the very beginning that you had steam,
you had electric, you had internal combustion, You had all
of these technologies competing against each other. There's electric cars
going way back to the beginning of automobiles.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Healthy competition is fine, it's the mandate that is not.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah. So you know, in the internal combustion engine, just
one out because that's what consumers preferred and what became
in their eyes, most efficient. But there's electric cars going
all the way back to the beginning of the development
of the automobile. And same thing with steam and the
Chevy Vaults. I mean that was around for a while,
(17:44):
but that was in the two thousands.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I'm telling you it goes a bit farther than that.
But it doesn't matter. Like you said, it's been around.
This is a listen. Let the technology compete in the
market will decide. I mean, I wonder how many people
of the numbers that you just read there didn't have
much of a choice on the lot. Think about what
COVID did to people's choices when it came if you
needed a vehicle, you know there, it might be that
(18:10):
it was like, oh, well, I guess I'm you know,
I only have a few choices here.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah. I mean, this was the first five months of
this year, and in their you know, Cadillacs. So I
don't think that they were forced into buying these things.
They just chose to. They liked it and bought it,
and they're very technologically advanced, and I mean they're nice cars.
So if you so choose, go for it. But I
(18:35):
just wanted to point out the difference where they're touting
gms now touting success at sixty two thousand cars, when
they sold one forty six, five hundred and fourteen in
Palace back in nineteen sixty five. It shows you how
far they've fallen Israel says it stomped an aid ship
bound for Gaza carrying Swedish activists Greta Thunberg and others.
(18:57):
The people on board have been detained and supported to Israel.
The ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla coalition to deliver
aid to Palestinians, called the boarding an assault in international waters.
Israel's Foreign ministry said the passengers are expected to return
to their home countries.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Now, if you didn't catch Trump's response to the question
of defending Israel in this, Gretethunberg, Tuneberg, whatever, however we're
describing her name. Now, it was hilarious calling her a
strange angry bird.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
But she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person.
I don't know if it's real anger. It's hard to believe, actually,
but I saw what happened. Uh, she's certainly different anger management.
I think she has to go to an anger management last.
That's my primary recommendation for her.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's not wrong, no, I mean, you know, and what's
a diplomatic way to put it? Why she's a bit touched.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh, I was gonna say, why be diplomatic?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So you know, she's not mentally healthy. And so she's
out there and all of a sudden we're listening. I mean,
you know, they've kind of disarmed any way we can
describe these people. They've made it, you know, politically incorrect
to say she's retarded. She's retarded, okay, And all of
(20:32):
a sudden she's the poster that we're all supposed to
be listening. Think back at that time to this retarded
teenager scolding us, how dare you? And then now she's
onto something else. She cares about the climate so much
that she jumps on board this ship bound for Palestine.
(20:54):
And these people, I mean, they think they're going to
go in there like I and deliver aid to Palestine.
This war is raging, I don't you know, I don't.
Obviously she's not the only retarded one aboard that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Strange angry person.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, And but she was smart enough to board the
plane and get the hell out of there after Israel,
you know, intervened. Others were not, you know, others refused.
Israel are like here, sign this and leave, and some
refuse to do that, and so they're being detained in Israel.
(21:31):
And she was smart enough to say, well, you know,
I'm better off being free than I am being detained
in Israel. So she's on a plane out of there.
But I mean, what do they think they're going to accomplish?
And it's all for show, right, you know, they're not
delivering any kind of meaningful aid to the Palestinians. They're
(21:54):
making a political statement and she's on to her next
cause dujore. And I don't know why we even listened
to her to begin with.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I agree, it's a distraction, So why do we even
know who she is? They think about that, think about that.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, it's just it's unbelievable to me.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Look who the left is propping up, and.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
We're supposed to take that advice and follow that. No,
thank you, But I mean, is it any surprise? I mean,
look at liberalism as a whole. Look, I'd consider it
the same thing, do well, go ahead, No, I just
consider it to be the same thing.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I do think that people should take. Actually, if you
juxapose this to what's happening with ice raids, do what
Greta did. She got deported and she went home. So
there you go. There's how you can follow that little
looney bird. She did something right.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, And if you are so concerned about, you know,
the ice raids and all of these things. Then you
know what, write some letters and go and run for office,
and create some political action committees and work to change
things rather than destroy things. How's that for a novel idea.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Thanks for listening to the Charleston Morning News podcast. Catch
Kelly and Blaze weekday mornings from six to nine
News headlines and the talk you need. This is Charleston's
Morning News with Kelly and plays on ninety four to
three WSC.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Temperatures and nice outside right now. Crack the windows as
you had inbound this morning. Certainly going to heat up.
We'll look at the forecast here just ahead, plus the
roadways as you had inbound this morning. On a Tuesday
ED dish of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Recovering this morning's top stories. The US military is deploying
seven hundred Marines to Los Angeles's anti ice rallies and
protests continue to take place. The group will increase military
presence in the city after the Trump administration ordered two
thousand California National Guard troops there over the weekend and
claims to be sending possibly another two thousand. US Northern
(00:45):
Command noted that the Marines are trained in de escalation,
crowd control, and standing rules for use of force. This
comes as California's attorney general is suing the Trump administration

(01:07):
He said the state is asking for a court to
put a stop to the unprecedented order. Over the weekend,
Governor Gavin Newsom claimed the violent protests in Los Angeles
are the President's fault, telling MSNBC that President made up
this crisis in order to move toward a constitutional crisis.
Trump says the violence was already escalating and that he
(01:28):
had no choice.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Isn't it unbelievable that Gavin Newscomb, who is out here
begging for Tom Homan to arrest him, is attempting to
say that this is Trump and his administration's fault. Yes,
this is the old simating gas lighting. What a lunatic.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well, I mean, it's right out of their playbook truth.
That's what democrats do.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well. I just I want Tom Homan to oblige, oblige
Newscom please for all the Californians held hostage by his
lawless Cammie clown dictatorship. I mean, please, can you imagine
that Gavin Newsom getting purple walked home.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I've been hearing multiple reports about how you know, neighbors
are disappearing. You don't know if your mom or dad's
going to come home. They're waiting outside of schools and
arresting children. I mean, they're trying to turn this totally
into you know that Trump Trump promised to go after
rapists and murders. Now he's arresting little children and all
(02:30):
of this kind of stuff. So they're trying to soak
it for what it's worth, but it's not working.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
They're super silent. When former President Obama, you know, deported
millions of illegals, there was no drama came across. I
don't have the woman's name in front of me, but
it was a sit down back during the Obama administration
and it was one of his advisors and she was
doing a report. I sit down with an interview news interview,
(02:58):
and she's saying, well, you know, Congress is mandated that
we follow immigration law and will some families be separated? Yeah,
that's going to happen. I'd never seen that before.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, Biden did deportations also.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Sure, but that didn't fit their narrative though.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, you know, I don't know if they went after
them like this with the ice raids. I think the
ice raids is well, I know, at least in Los Angeles.
That's what's set all of this off.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well understandable, what set all this off was our border
being a wide open and allowed to be infiltrated our
country by people who are bad actors. And that's a
nice way of describing rapists and murderers and so on.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, I'm talking specifically about Los Angeles. It's the ice
raids that set this off. And then it's organized and
you see the same thing that we saw here in Charleston.
They've been delivering bricks and baseball bats and frozen water
bottles and other things for these protesters to use against
(04:01):
police and ICE agents in law enforcement. And now you're
starting to see the protests spread because it's organized.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, so that'll expose how our own tax dollars blaze
are being fund you know, funding this agenda and others.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now you have them in New York and Boston and
Atlanta and you know, so these protests are spreading across
the country.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, but this is the time to show it will
not stand. Pam Bondi is going to remain consistent on
the whole fo on the FAFO. There's time to find out.
I mean there she was on Handity last night. I
know Fox, you know, the hunt, root and prosecute is coming.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I mean, she said they're coming after him.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But what think about the alternative here for all the
people complaining about this, you know, the Marines. Oh my god,
what's the alternative that is far more ugly? What do
people want to see happen an officer killed by a
cinder block to the head. I mean, look at the
video of some of these terrorists attempting to light mounted
pull Lease on fire. Did you see that with the fireworks?
(05:05):
The insanity of this?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, well, so far the troops are just protecting the
federal buildings. They're not out there clashing with the protesters.
That's all. La Louise.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Let's discuss this. Do you think Trump should you know,
presumptively pardon any law enforcement or military for that matter,
who defend their life with a necessary force. To me,
that's when this ends. No more escalation. He's an end,
not escalate, because the good guys have to win. Talking
about the deployment of over two thousand National Guard members
(05:37):
by the President to LA in response to the riots,
and now include seven hundred Marines on standby to assist.
And if you missed it over the weekend, the President
told reporters this was in New Jersey, on Sunday plane side.
So the audio is pretty crappy, but he said, you know,
if police officers get spat on, which is some big
(06:00):
thing apparently with these anti ice protesters and Los Angeles
to spit on police officers, he wants them to hit back,
and she doubled down. Attorney General Pambondy on Hannity last night, Listen, I.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Said, you spit, we hit Get ready. If you spit
on a federal law enforcement officer, we are going to
charge you with a crime. Federally. You are looking at
up to five years maximum in prison.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
To Pambondy, that's spitting. Now, imagine hurling maltov cocktails, you know, fireworks,
any type of fire. Really they're using. I noticed between gasoline.
They're lighting these cars on fire with gasoline, throwing bricks
and cinder blocks. I mean, they're sending a message that
you even spit on a police officer and you got issues.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, they're throwing bodily fluids on them. They're freezing water bottles.
So when the press says they're throwing water bottles makes
it sound like kind of, you know, not as dangerous
as it really is, because they freeze these water bottles
as well be bricks.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, the last person outside of California to be throwing
bricks over a bridge like we've seen this video now
going viral from over the weekend of these poor law
enforcement officers down below. They were charged with I believe
it was a second degree murder. So what's you know?
The lawlessness in California, tempted right, has to stop.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, I think we all realize that the only people
that don't realize that they are the people in charge because
they believe that they're peaceful protests.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Their definition of peaceful clearly doesn't match mine.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
And of course it needs to stop. The only people
out there saying it doesn't need to stop are Gavin
Newsom and Karen Bass and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, yes, and others. There was and I don't have
the city official who was standing at a podium. I
don't know if you call her like a short Hispanic
woman who is one of their city council members in
the area, who was like if they you know, so
basically escalate, then we escalate. And it was like, wait
a second, Trump's right, when he's sitting here talking about
(08:07):
insurrectionist here you are you know these are members of
you know, these are leaders of the community, elected members
to their whether it was House, Senate or whatever in
their area of the city council's town council, who are
fomenting violence.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, that's not the people that they're talking about. According
to them, they're more concerned with the human rights issues
and the constitutionality of what this administration's doing. And of
course there's going to be some bad actors, you know.
That's how they're trying to frame this same way they
try to frame the Summer of Love or whatever you
(08:46):
want to call it in twenty twenty before the election,
when they fomented all the violence and we're burning down
cities Minneapolis, when Tim Walls's wife threw open the windows
and relished in the beautiful smell of burning rubber.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Tim Walls the same guy who called up the National
Guard during COVID to shoot people sitting on their porch
with paintball guns in the face. This guy is a
lunatic and so is his wife.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well that's what who's running the Democratic Party now? You
lost your moral Democrat Party now. And I don't mean
Tim Wallas is running it. I mean the lunatics. They've
lost any kind of moral or common sense bearing House
Minority Leader Hakim Jefferies is criticizing President Trump over his
(09:37):
response to the pro immigration protests in Los Angeles. The
New York Democrats said Trump and the GOP have zero
credibility when it comes to issues of law and order.
Jefferies went on to say that Trump is using the
protest to distract Americans from his failed administration. He said
Trump hasn't fulfilled any of his day one promises, like
(09:58):
lowering costs or ending the war in Ukraine. Jeffrey is
also stressed that no one is defending unlawful behavior, but
rather American's right to demonstrate peacefully.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Boy, his definition of peaceful is so different than mine and.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
His definition of Americans, I might add.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And law and order. I mean, Hakim Jeffries has been
in his seat long enough under Joe Biden's regime. And
how many times the ways can we say that who's
behind Joe Biden's auto pen is going to go down
the biggest scandal and political you know, my political lifetime.
You want to look at why don't you investigate that
(10:36):
this guy law and order?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Well, this guy was the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I mean zero credibility as far as a CONCERTI.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, now he's minority leader. But so he's coming out
there saying that, you know Trump, So he's joining in
on the narrative of Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and
Kamala Harris and all the rest of these crazy asque
Democrats who are saying that you know, Trump is doing
this too, sow chaos and you know, cause discord among
(11:08):
you know, freedom loving Americans who are out there just
protesting their neighbors disappearing, and they're afraid to go to work,
and they're afraid to go to school because ice might
come up and snatch them up with no process. I mean,
it's ridiculous, and it's a losing argument. And I don't
know why they don't realize that it's a losing argument.
But you know, maybe it's not for them. I mean,
(11:29):
we assume, because we're looking through the lens of common sense.
They're probably reading some poll numbers and going all right, well,
you know, at least in these bastions of blue voters,
we can hold on. And if we can hold on,
now here's the thing. I'm going to say something, maybe
a little controversial. If we can hold on to these cities.
(11:50):
And if you look at the electoral map, that's exactly
what it is. It's the population centers that are all
blue and the rest of the country's red. So if
they make the calculation, if we can on in these cities,
maybe we can still execute enough election fraud to come
out on top like we have in the past.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't think that's very controversial to say. I think
that's quite literally potentially their playbooking for quite some time now, maybe,
I mean, but common sense Americans remain the majority, thank
god November showed that, and you know, won't let their
reckless anti American agenda win. So if it has to
be corralled in these blue cities that want to burn
(12:32):
themselves to the ground, with these sanctuary city mayors and
state governors who've chosen to thwart and ignore laws to
support criminals and a llegal terrorists, then you can go
down in your own town. But the rest of America
is not taking part.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well. But if you can't have this unrest in all
these cities and go down and you have to do.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Something, well, thank god this president is that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean, you can't leave them to their own devices, devices,
or they will or they'll destroy everything, and we know
that they will because they have in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, and I think it's important for people to hear
no liberty loving American wants to actually see uniform National
guardsmen or geared up marines in any streets in America.
This is directly in response to the reckless, feckless, useless
leadership in these sanctuary cities. So you know, it would
(13:30):
be nice for these reporters to stand up to Hakeem
Jeffries and ask them real questions.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But all of these people can't see through their hatred
of Trump. It blurs their vision and blurs their common
sense obviously. I mean, do you really think there's going
to be a point where they come to their senses
and Hakeem Jeffries or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom or
Karen Bass saying, you know what, we've thought about this,
(13:56):
and I've changed my mind and we really need to
you know, qull this and get this un there.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Now they're falling on their sword and they're also losing,
whether it's moral high ground or at the ballot box.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
So thank you for listening this morning. I appreciate you
taking the time out to spend with US. General Motors
says it more than doubled its sales of electric vehicles
in the first five months of this year compared to
twenty twenty four. The automaker says it sold sixty two,
eight hundred and thirty eves from January to May, with
Chevrolet making up nearly thirty eight thousand of the vehicles sold.
(14:33):
Over the same five months, Forward sold just over thirty
four thousand evs. GM sales for twenty twenty five were
boosted by several vehicles that were not available last year,
including the Cadillac Optique and Vistique, along with Silverado EV
pickup truck. Now, to show you they're touting these great numbers,
they sold sixty two, eight hundred and thirty evs in
(14:56):
the first five months of this year. Isn't that fantastic
for General Motors?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Out of how many?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
To show you how far General Motors has fallen, how
far the US auto industry has fallen. Do you know
how many Impalas they sold in nineteen sixty five? No clue,
one million, forty six thousand, five hundred and fourteen Impalas.
Just that one model car one million forty six thousand,
(15:24):
five hundred and fourteen, and here GM's bragging about selling
sixty two thousand electric vehicles. Drop in the bucket. And
I have nothing against electric vehicles. I think they're pretty cool.
You know. I don't think the government should mandate that
everyone has to drive one.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it's I've been pretty open about my car is
going on ten years old at this point, and I've
been looking to replace it. And I'm not there on evs.
If you are, great, we both have choices.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Well yeah, so, you know, but it just it shows
you how far that industry is for many different reasons.
But I've just found it laughable that they're out there
touting how they sold a whole sixty two, eight hundred
and thirty. They're still losing money on them, so's ford
and and I mean, hopefully they can swing that back around,
(16:17):
but I think they're going to have to make adjustments.
And you've seen like Dodge, you know, declared that they
were going all electric, now they're backing off.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Glad to hear that Dodge.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
General Motors has announced that, you know, they're developing a
new V eight engine internal rebustion.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Really yeah, good to hear.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Well, I mean there needs to be competing products in
the marketplace and made the best one win exactly. And
believe it or not, this isn't the first time that
there's been a battle between these technologies.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh my god, go back to the Vault. Remember what
they did to it. They smashed it and put it
in the Junkyard real quick. The Chevy Vault along. How
far back was that the sixties? No, it was it
was way back, this Vault. Yeah, and they started coming
out with this technology now to compete with the gasoline engine.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Well, actually from the very beginning that you had steam,
you had electric, you had internal combustion, You had all
of these technologies competing against each other. There's electric cars
going way back to the beginning of automobiles.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Healthy competition is fine, it's the mandate that is not.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah. So you know, in the internal combustion engine, just
one out because that's what consumers preferred and what became
in their eyes, most efficient. But there's electric cars going
all the way back to the beginning of the development
of the automobile. And same thing with steam and the
Chevy Vaults. I mean that was around for a while,
(17:44):
but that was in the two thousands.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I'm telling you it goes a bit farther than that.
But it doesn't matter. Like you said, it's been around.
This is a listen. Let the technology compete in the
market will decide. I mean, I wonder how many people
of the numbers that you just read there didn't have
much of a choice on the lot. Think about what
COVID did to people's choices when it came if you
needed a vehicle, you know there, it might be that
(18:10):
it was like, oh, well, I guess I'm you know,
I only have a few choices here.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah. I mean, this was the first five months of
this year, and in their you know, Cadillacs. So I
don't think that they were forced into buying these things.
They just chose to. They liked it and bought it,
and they're very technologically advanced, and I mean they're nice cars.
So if you so choose, go for it. But I
(18:35):
just wanted to point out the difference where they're touting
gms now touting success at sixty two thousand cars, when
they sold one forty six, five hundred and fourteen in
Palace back in nineteen sixty five. It shows you how
far they've fallen Israel says it stomped an aid ship
bound for Gaza carrying Swedish activists Greta Thunberg and others.
(18:57):
The people on board have been detained and supported to Israel.
The ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla coalition to deliver
aid to Palestinians, called the boarding an assault in international waters.
Israel's Foreign ministry said the passengers are expected to return
to their home countries.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Now, if you didn't catch Trump's response to the question
of defending Israel in this, Gretethunberg, Tuneberg, whatever, however we're
describing her name. Now, it was hilarious calling her a
strange angry bird.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
But she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person.
I don't know if it's real anger. It's hard to believe, actually,
but I saw what happened. Uh, she's certainly different anger management.
I think she has to go to an anger management last.
That's my primary recommendation for her.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's not wrong, no, I mean, you know, and what's
a diplomatic way to put it? Why she's a bit touched.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh, I was gonna say, why be diplomatic?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So you know, she's not mentally healthy. And so she's
out there and all of a sudden we're listening. I mean,
you know, they've kind of disarmed any way we can
describe these people. They've made it, you know, politically incorrect
to say she's retarded. She's retarded, okay, And all of
(20:32):
a sudden she's the poster that we're all supposed to
be listening. Think back at that time to this retarded
teenager scolding us, how dare you? And then now she's
onto something else. She cares about the climate so much
that she jumps on board this ship bound for Palestine.
(20:54):
And these people, I mean, they think they're going to
go in there like I and deliver aid to Palestine.
This war is raging, I don't you know, I don't.
Obviously she's not the only retarded one aboard that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Strange angry person.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, And but she was smart enough to board the
plane and get the hell out of there after Israel,
you know, intervened. Others were not, you know, others refused.
Israel are like here, sign this and leave, and some
refuse to do that, and so they're being detained in Israel.
(21:31):
And she was smart enough to say, well, you know,
I'm better off being free than I am being detained
in Israel. So she's on a plane out of there.
But I mean, what do they think they're going to accomplish?
And it's all for show, right, you know, they're not
delivering any kind of meaningful aid to the Palestinians. They're
(21:54):
making a political statement and she's on to her next
cause dujore. And I don't know why we even listened
to her to begin with.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I agree, it's a distraction, So why do we even
know who she is? They think about that, think about that.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, it's just it's unbelievable to me.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Look who the left is propping up, and.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
We're supposed to take that advice and follow that. No,
thank you, But I mean, is it any surprise? I mean,
look at liberalism as a whole. Look, I'd consider it
the same thing, do well, go ahead, No, I just
consider it to be the same thing.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
I do think that people should take. Actually, if you
juxapose this to what's happening with ice raids, do what
Greta did. She got deported and she went home. So
there you go. There's how you can follow that little
looney bird. She did something right.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, And if you are so concerned about, you know,
the ice raids and all of these things. Then you
know what, write some letters and go and run for office,
and create some political action committees and work to change
things rather than destroy things. How's that for a novel idea.
