This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Now the top three things you should know.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Tropical Storm Debbie is now projected to make a second landfall,
this time right here in South Carolina, after originally making
landfall in Florida on Monday. Whether officials say the storm
moved offshore yesterday and is expected to stay over the
Atlantic during the day Today. It could strengthen before returning
to land between Charleston and Georgetown tonight, possibly at Bowls
(00:30):
Bay sometime around midnight. Debbie's expected to bring more rainfall
and risk of tornadoes for the South Carolina coastline before
moving away from the.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Area finally on Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The Justice Department announced yesterday that a Pakistani man with
ties to Iran has been arrested for allegedly plotting to
assassinate a US official in retaliation for the killing of
Around's Islamic Revolutionary Guard CORP Commander Salamani. Federal officials identified
ASO from the Merchant as a Pakistani citizen who has
(01:02):
said he has a wife and children in Iran. He
traveled frequently to Iran, Syria. In Iraq, the Justice Department
city allegedly sought to hire a hit man to assassinate
a politician or a US government official in the United States.
Court documents do not identify any of the potential targets,
but the case was unsealed just weeks after US officials
disclosed that a threat on Donald Trump's life from Iran
(01:25):
prompted additional security in the days before a Pennsylvania rally
last month in which Trump was injured by a gunman's bullet.
The American Red Cross says there is an extreme shortage
of blood across the nation. Last month, extreme heat impacted
blood drives across the country, resulting in a twenty five
percent decrease in blood donations. As a thank you and
(01:46):
as an incentive, people who donate this month will receive
a twenty dollars Amazon gift card.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
We I'd rather give them my blood than the blood
sucking mosquitoes. Me and I walked the dog last night
in the saturated grounds in the mosquitoes and the humidity
that comes in with these storms.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Well, I mean it was already horrible this year because
we had a pretty wet winter. So the mosquitoes and
the fleas and the ticks and the nseums and all
of that were horrendous this year. You can't even step
outside without you know, coming in, and if you're wearing shorts,
just you know, scratching your legs and they driving.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Nuts flapping and scratching, and I can't not react to
the days before. That's hit me pretty deep. Their blaze
in your top three things we knew days before about
this Iranian potential possible terror plot with regards to assassinating
Yeah in.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Local official officials, yeah in.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Local officials in Pennsylvania reported that the Secret Service originally
said they were not going to have a sniper team
at that event, and then they changed their mind. And
now we know why they changed their mind. And having
this knowledge, now that they knew this and had this
leading up to that event, how that hell did they
(03:04):
ever let that happen?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah? I know? And how about having the knowledge day
of I mean, the rangefinder, the photographs that went around.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The people pointing and screaming, there's a man with a gun.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah. Well, and the fact that they didn't put the
sniper people up, well, they didn't have drone view over this.
They didn't have their sniper people up on the highest
possible point, which was right there. They're big water Tower.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't even know if you've noticed some of that coverage,
but it's just it's infuriating.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And they won't mention, you know, Trump by name in
this the Justice Department, but everybody knows that that's who
they were targeting, because that's who took out Solemney.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Well, we continue to follow all of this and we'll
keep you up to date despite the fact that it's
not leading national or international news.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Really this morning, no, and you know, and I did
a Google search and it was interesting, and I Google
searched the Stude's name and it comes up on the
first couple pages are just there's a story from NPR,
there's the statement from the Justice Department from their website,
(04:13):
and then a couple of local TV stations around the country,
and then the rest is like The Times of India,
Sky News Australia, India, dot Com, France twenty four So
all these other countries are on this story, but somehow
we're not here in the United States.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I tell you, Sky News Australia, there's something do you
ever really pay attention to? There? A lot of more actually,
a lot more people are tuning into like sky News
Australia than they are in our own broadcast outlets, which
is sad.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's pretty awesome. I actually played some clips from them
while you were on vacation.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Were they dragging bike.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Last week or the week before that? One newscaster who
she does liberals losing their mind and puts clips together,
you know, montages of lefties losing it is what she
calls it, and it's pretty funny. And then she did
a whole mashup of Kamala Harris and Julia Luis Dreyfus
(05:15):
as Veep.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I've seen and yeah, it's hilarious because you can't even
when you play the audio, you can't even tell the
difference of which one is real and which one is
the make believe character.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well, the saddest part about it is there's tons of
content for her to share, sadly and pick from, especially
with her new VP pick.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Holy cow camp on, Tim.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Did you catch some? I've got some of the audio
here and me and it is going to I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Listening to the underdogs in this race, but we have
the momentum and I know exactly what we are up against.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hand.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
He mocks our laws he saw as chaos and division.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And that's to say nothing of his record as president.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Oh my gosh, the gas lighting with this guy, I
don't know if I could take it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Blaze.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I know, and you know what, seventy something percent
of people don't even know who he is. A lot
of people at that rally yesterday said they didn't know
who he was.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
He is scary as who he is, mister, you know,
letting his own town, you know, burn during George Floyd riots.
I mean, I am, this is a scary team.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, we can give you a quick rundown on who
he is. In Minnesota, legislature found that Walls's administration failed
miserably and its duty to properly oversee millions of federal
dollars it administered to nonprofits to feed children. The report
said that Walls originally alleged incompetence created opportunities for fraud.
(06:52):
Even Axios reported that the report highlighted several ways in
which the governor his administration failed to reign in the fraud,
undercutting their long standing claims that his agency staff deserved credit,
not criticism, for their efforts to catch and stop the fraud,
speaking of gas lighting, so they deny it.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
This guy signed legislation to allow miners to get sex
change operations. In Minnesota. He signed a build to require
schools to stock period products in boys' bathrooms, in other words, tampons.
He failed to anticipate and react to the riots in Minneapolis,
which you're talking to. He did nothing while the city burned.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Oh listen to this. His sit down the last night
Fox played with his wife was so disturbing to me.
So it was completely freaky. So here she's recounting her
pride during the George Floyd riots as their city burned
and the smell of burning tires. She was so proud.
She cracked her windows and she just had a smile.
(07:55):
The smell of burning tires. Nice his wife.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, they're so happy that. And he described it as
a positive event.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yeah, this is what I'm saying. This is why she
was celebrating in the smell of burning tires.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well what I'm saying he and he described it, and
you know, at his governor's podium as a positive event
that was taking place at the time.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I mean it just men and women's sports. He's for that.
He's far left.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
He gave free college tuition to illegal immigrants. He signed
a bill into law that gave driver's licenses to potentially
seventy seven thousand eligible illegal aliens. He championed socialism during
that White Dudes for Harris call last week.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
You imagine having a son having to explain in some
of these kids in these bathrooms. I mean they were
like eight or nine years old, where the tampon showed
up in the boy's bathroom. He imagine having a son
trying to explain that to him. He comes home and says, Hey, Dad,
why are there tampons in our bathroom?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I mean, what is the point?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
This is just something.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's just exacerbating the crazy right.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
It's more town.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Today is Purple Heart Day. It's a day for Americans
to remember and honor the men and women who bravely
represented their country and were wounded or killed while serving.
These heroes are decorated with a purple heart in the
name of the President of the United States. The original
purple Heart, designated as a badge of Merit, was awarded
(09:29):
by George Washington in seventeen eighty two. The first service
member to be given the modern purple Heart was General
Douglas MacArthur for his service in the Pacific Theater during
World War Two. In total, there have been a staggering
one point eight million Purple Hearts awarded over the years.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I have two of my father's purple hearts, Ranger Bob.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah. So keep those people in your thoughts in prayers
today on Purple Heart Day.
