Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
As we head into this next story, a reminder the
lottery is approaching a billion dollar payout coming up tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Nearly a quarter of American households are living paycheck to paycheck,
and new analysis from Bank of America found slow wage
growth is contributed to an increase in households with limited
savings and lower income, as well as middle aged households
bearing the brunch of rising costs. Bindings also revealed the
number of households in the Northeast and Midwest living paycheck
(00:36):
to paycheck has increased, well, it's decreased for those living
in the South and West. Bank of America's report to
fined households is living paycheck to paycheck if in the
last quarter they're necessary spending exceeded ninety five percent of
their income.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I think inadvertently, Sean Duffy during the shutdown put shed
a lot of light on this very issue with air
traffic controllers when you said earlier in the week that
some of them explained, it's not that I don't want
to show up, it's that I quite literally can't miss
two paychecks and make ends meet and so they had
to go out and find alternative ways to bring in
some cash. And think about traffic controllers, I mean they
(01:15):
start out in six figures.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I know, but we're not even talking We're just
talking about you know, non governmental workers, people out there,
you know, slaving away day by day, trying to get
by and not being able to do so.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well. Yeah, but that's everyone, I mean, whether they work
for the government or not. I'm merely saying if this
is affecting well paid government workers, I mean the middle class,
my god, and above and below frankly, but we got
a message from someone who said this is showing that
people are living above their means as opposed to.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What I knew that we'd hear that not necessarily, and
don't be so caress in judging people. How do you
know that they're living above their means?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And we hear this all the time, and well, maybe
they don't need as down south on, maybe they don't
need this, Maybe they don't need it, And I get it,
a lot of people don't need that. And you can't,
you know, cry that you're broke if you're misspending your money.
But there's plenty of people out there that are trying
to raise families, and medical costs keep going up, car insurance,
home insurance, mortgages, rent food, So, you know, don't be
(02:22):
so quick to judge that all of these people are
overspending and sending themselves into debt. A lot of them,
you know, are dealing with medical issues, or they have
bigger families to feed and in rent has exceeded their income.
It's a real problem that there's this many people, you know,
living paycheck to paycheck. Now, I want to know what
(02:43):
the difference is between the Northeast and Midwest and the
West and the.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
South with regards to affordability versus people living paycheck to paycheck,
like what they get paid.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I'm sure, well, no, it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Says there's a difference on the people that are within
that ninety five five percent of their income, you know,
that they're spending exceeds ninety five percent of their income.
That living paycheck to paycheck is more of a problem
in the Northeast and Midwest than it is in the South.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
In the West, well, affordability and how far you can
stretch your paycheck has everything to do with the factors
I mentioned the you know, well, it pays how much
it costs to buy a home versus even the taxes
that you mentioned.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I mean, that doesn't make sense to me. The Midwest
is one of the cheapest places to live. Well one,
it's cheaper than the South. I'll guarantee you that.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Well, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'll never forget having a family member, you know, move
from New York to here. And I said, you need
to be careful if you think that living here is
going to be cheaper. Wages are lower, the cost of
living is higher, even food prices are higher. And it
was within months that this person said, oh my god,
food was cheaper in New York.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And I'm like, well, that's my point. So how is
it that people in the South Wealth and the West
than California and Oregon and all these high cost places,
I have less people living paycheck to paycheck than people
in the Northeast and Midwest. I want to know why.
It doesn't make sense, But it doesn't tell us why.
So I guess I'll have to go try to find out.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Maybe more living than their meeds.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, I don't know how to intellectualize it in a
quick capsule here, you know, because we've got you know,
we're out of time already. But you know, there's just
so many things to pay for, and the cost keeps
going up and your income does not keep pace. And
I look at it as a transfer of wealth. And
(04:38):
we talk about China, and we talk about you know,
these other countries trying to transfer the wealth. You know,
in the past it's been Saudi Arabia through oil and
all of these things, transferring the wealth out of the
United States into these other countries. And I'm starting to
look at it like the Democrats and even some of
these Republicans don't mind transferring the wealth from you to
(05:01):
the government or whatever it might be. They don't care
about these costs coming up. Their answer is, well, you'll
get some help from the government, and we fall into
socialism while they're out there pretending that they're anti socialists.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is that in reference to the idea that checks will
be coming with regards to tariffs and the President earlier
this week talking about what was it, two thousand dollars
checks tariff checks.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
No, it's not, it's there.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
That would be an example of what you just said
to me.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's giving you your money back or not all of it,
A little piece of your money back. But I'm talking
more about with all the regulations that they pass and
the lanes that they make you stay in, and then
the people they say, well, will help the people that
can't quite keep up, and more and more people become
dependent upon the government. Well, boyd, does that healthy for
(05:55):
a free society?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
No? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But didn't the shutdown show us how dependent, how widespread
the dependency is?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Shed a lot of light on that.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Of course, when you have forty two million people and
I said it at the time, and depending upon the
government to feed themselves, we've got trouble.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Jack.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Hey, thanks for being with us on this Friday morning.
Appreciate you listening. Hopefully you're off to a good start today.
Are you worried that AI will take your job? People
across the globe are worried about AI's impact, but they
do not think the technology will come for their jobs.
According to a new you gov poll, seventy two percent
of US respondents said they worried about the broader economic
(06:39):
effects of AI. Well, only forty seven percent so they
were concerned about their own jobs. When looking abroad, the
survey found that seventy percent of adult surveyed in the
UK worry about economy wide AI impacts, compared to thirty
nine percent who worry about AI related consequences for their
own occupation. S covered nearly five thousand adults in the US, UK,
(07:03):
India and Brazil, and it comes on the heels of
major corporations laying off workers in citing AI is the reason.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, even on our own industry. I mean, we got
an email what earlier this week, last week. I mean,
our superpower is that we are real, true human beings,
you and me, Michael Blaze. Yet that doesn't mean AI
isn't gobbling up jobs within our industry. You know, that's affecting,
if not already soon enough, layers of jobs within whatever
industry you may be in that may be automated by AI.
(07:35):
Whether it's people who I don't know, it's the phones issue, paychecks,
respond to emails, just depends depends on the industry in
the department.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, I mean a lot of people experts are saying that,
you know, disruptive technology in the past has ended up
in the long run creating more jobs, more jobs than
it displaced. So you know, I don't know what's going
to happen, but I find it that they're worried about AI,
but they're not worried about their own job.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Meaning being able to hold on to it, meaning if
you have a relevant job or not.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Well, I mean it seems kind of narcissistic to me
to tell.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
You the truth, like I'm an untouchable.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Oh no, it's not gonna like that's gonna be those
other people that didn't set themselves up as smartly as
I did. It's those type people, and you know, liberals essentially.
I think it's the liberals, remember where they're like, well,
I got a job coding, so maybe you should have
thought about your choice. Your career was your choice. I
(08:41):
remember I worked for not four but with this southern
fire brand of a lady who used to say, I
didn't choose your career for you, honey, right. So it's
that kind of thinking where like, I'm not touchable here.
It's all of you underlings who made the wrong choice
and chose the wrong careers who have to worry about AI.
(09:02):
I made the smart choice and then they're next in
line on the chopping block and don't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You mentioned coding. Clay and Bucket talked about coding. You know,
the mistake of people learning coding and they were going
through college and university, you know, listening to what they
were being told, like learn to be a coder.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Well, now you need to learn to be a prompter.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So you've got to learn to figure out, you know,
within your trade, how to remain relevant and not be canceled.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, it went from coding to now data entry is
actually I believe one of the good high paying jobs
to have out there now because something has to feed
the AI.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well in with the prompting when it comes to marketing.
I mean, there's so many things, but it's it's definitely
changing and you better evolve with it otherwise be left behind.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Well, it's always been the case. Immigration authorities are coming
to a state near you. Immigration authorities are headed to Charlotte,
North Carolina. According to multiple reports, US Customs and Border
Protection agents are expected to arrive in the coming days.
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office says it hasn't been asked
to assist federal immigration agents during the planned operation. Charlotte
(10:10):
is the latest Democrat led city to be targeted with
immigration enforcement by federal authorities.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Wow, so recent.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The recent murders, whether it's the subway murder, just horrific.
Of these career criminals being led out despite their multiple
arrests to terrorize Charlotte. It's just horrific. But it goes
to show the antics that the judges in Charlotte, in
and around will go to to turn a blind eye
to real justice and true law and order, and those
(10:39):
antics expose their politics which are anti thetical to this
president and the majority of American voters who overwhelmingly voted
for closed borders and legal migration.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yeah, Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know, I was kind of surprised at Charlotte being
a Southern city and the Queen City and all of
these things. It's not Charleston, and the attitude there is
noticeably different, and it feels more like a big northern
city than it does a big southern city.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Yes, I would agree, it's been that way for a while.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, it's been that way for a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, how about we pay attention to the you know,
the bottom falling out on these high crime rates in
cities across America where Trump's deployed ice. Listen to some
of the testimonials might be hard to find, you know,
of these everyday citizens in their towns that are their heartwarming,
you know, the little kids who are like I can
finally go play basketball side without being you know, fear
(11:38):
of being shot. Yet you know, these aren't being widely shared,
of course, in the propaganda press, because it doesn't fit
the negative narrative that this president is a king who
hates brown people. Also doesn't fit their narrative that this
president was overwhelmingly reelected in historic numbers thanks to Hispanics
and African Americans, the black community.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So well, you know, you mentioned Chicago. So the President
was boasting the other day about the crime statistics in Chicago,
and you know how they've gone down considerably violent crimes, murders,
things like that of you know, auto thefts, assaults, and
right on que some judge ruled that they have to
(12:25):
release these illegal immigrants who've been arrested, that are being
held in detention and they have to release them on bail.
And it was a good number of them. I can't
remember how many, but it was in the thousands. And
so there's an activist judge trying to undo the work
that this administration's done, trying to make it safe for
(12:46):
the residents. And that's the thing the residents, Big old
fat JB. Pritzker might be up there stuff in his
face with pie while he's saying that the President's not welcome,
and the president is attacking his political rivals in Democrat
led cities and that they have this under control when
(13:07):
they clearly didn't have it under control, and it took
some leadership to get it under control. And it looks
like all it's going to take is a ruling from
an act of ast judge to undo.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
We've got to get into that and how this can
be stopped, because they're going to continue to stem me
this process and this president for the next three years.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
There's serious accusations against the Nuhuggers, the Texas space travel stop.
BUCkies likes to have fun with their logo, which is
a cartoon beaver, but when it comes to protecting their trademark,
their lawyers don't mess around. BUCkies has sued in Oklahoma
based men's underwear brand called nut Huggers. The lawsuit claims
the company's logo is too close to their brand. The
(13:50):
owner of nu Huggers says in a statement that he
plans to fight that in court.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
See I don't see that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'm looking up Nut Huggers here, and I was really
concerned to google this.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
What was going to come up under images?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But Nut Huggers is a squirrel, it's wild furry hair
versus BUCkies, which is a beaver. He's got a red hat.
The squirrel is not wearing a red hat here. And
this squirrel has orange fur and BUCkies has smooth, dark
brown furs. So I think that Nut Huggers has this one.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think that they are similar in their look and
their expression on their face. And I mean, I don't
know what the litmus test is when you're comparing two
different cartoon characters when it comes to trademark law.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
I guess we're about to find.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, I mean I want to a Nut Hugger squirrel
being frownie pants, so.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
He smiled, So they're both smiling. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Like I said, I think they had to make the
lawyers dress as like mascots, right, each one out to
put on the costume. One not to go is the
Nut Hugger's squirrel. One ought to go as Bucky the Beaver.
Can you battle it.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Out in course for this jury duty?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now that would be entertaining. I would want to sit
on that jury. Yeah, I wouldn't try to avoid that
jury duty and be like, this is going to be great.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Not for the attorneys. It would have to dress up
in sweaty, hot fur suits.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
They deserve it.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
I'm sure, well, no, it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Says there's a difference on the people that are within

that they're spending exceeds ninety five percent of their income.
That living paycheck to paycheck is more of a problem

Speaker 3 (03:23):

it's cheaper than the South. I'll guarantee you that.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Well, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'll never forget having a family member, you know, move

is the latest Democrat led city to be targeted with
immigration enforcement by federal authorities.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Wow, so recent.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The recent murders, whether it's the subway murder, just horrific.
Of these career criminals being led out despite their multiple
arrests to terrorize Charlotte. It's just horrific. But it goes
to show the antics that the judges in Charlotte, in
and around will go to to turn a blind eye
to real justice and true law and order, and those
(10:39):
antics expose their politics which are anti thetical to this
president and the majority of American voters who overwhelmingly voted
for closed borders and legal migration.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yeah, Charlotte.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You know, I was kind of surprised at Charlotte being
a Southern city and the Queen City and all of
these things. It's not Charleston, and the attitude there is
noticeably different, and it feels more like a big northern
city than it does a big southern city.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Yes, I would agree, it's been that way for a while.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Yeah, it's been that way for a long time.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, how about we pay attention to the you know,
the bottom falling out on these high crime rates in
cities across America where Trump's deployed ice. Listen to some
of the testimonials might be hard to find, you know,
of these everyday citizens in their towns that are their heartwarming,
you know, the little kids who are like I can
finally go play basketball side without being you know, fear
(11:38):
of being shot. Yet you know, these aren't being widely shared,
of course, in the propaganda press, because it doesn't fit
the negative narrative that this president is a king who
hates brown people. Also doesn't fit their narrative that this
president was overwhelmingly reelected in historic numbers thanks to Hispanics
and African Americans, the black community.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So well, you know, you mentioned Chicago. So the President
was boasting the other day about the crime statistics in Chicago,
and you know how they've gone down considerably violent crimes, murders,
things like that of you know, auto thefts, assaults, and
right on que some judge ruled that they have to
(12:25):
release these illegal immigrants who've been arrested, that are being
held in detention and they have to release them on bail.
And it was a good number of them. I can't
remember how many, but it was in the thousands. And
so there's an activist judge trying to undo the work
that this administration's done, trying to make it safe for
(12:46):
the residents. And that's the thing the residents, Big old
fat JB. Pritzker might be up there stuff in his
face with pie while he's saying that the President's not welcome,
and the president is attacking his political rivals in Democrat
led cities and that they have this under control when
(13:07):
they clearly didn't have it under control, and it took
some leadership to get it under control. And it looks
like all it's going to take is a ruling from
an act of ast judge to undo.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
All of that.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
We've got to get into that and how this can
be stopped, because they're going to continue to stem me
this process and this president for the next three years.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
There's serious accusations against the Nuhuggers, the Texas space travel stop.
BUCkies likes to have fun with their logo, which is
a cartoon beaver, but when it comes to protecting their trademark,
their lawyers don't mess around. BUCkies has sued in Oklahoma
based men's underwear brand called nut Huggers. The lawsuit claims
the company's logo is too close to their brand. The
(13:50):
owner of nu Huggers says in a statement that he
plans to fight that in court.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
See I don't see that.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'm looking up Nut Huggers here, and I was really
concerned to google this.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
What was going to come up under images?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
But Nut Huggers is a squirrel, it's wild furry hair
versus BUCkies, which is a beaver. He's got a red hat.
The squirrel is not wearing a red hat here. And
this squirrel has orange fur and BUCkies has smooth, dark
brown furs. So I think that Nut Huggers has this one.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think that they are similar in their look and
their expression on their face. And I mean, I don't
know what the litmus test is when you're comparing two
different cartoon characters when it comes to trademark law.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
I guess we're about to find.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, I mean I want to a Nut Hugger squirrel
being frownie pants, so.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
He smiled, So they're both smiling. Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Like I said, I think they had to make the
lawyers dress as like mascots, right, each one out to
put on the costume. One not to go is the
Nut Hugger's squirrel. One ought to go as Bucky the Beaver.
Can you battle it.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Out in course for this jury duty?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now that would be entertaining. I would want to sit
on that jury. Yeah, I wouldn't try to avoid that
jury duty and be like, this is going to be great.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Not for the attorneys. It would have to dress up
in sweaty, hot fur suits.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
They deserve it.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
