Speaker 1 (00:00):
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):
Michelle Obama is telling Democrats to do something to get
Kamala Harris elected president. The former First Lady rallied the
crown at Tuesday's Democratic National Convention in her hometown of
Chicago and told them, quote, don't sit around and complain
about things, do something. She also said, while her husband,
Barack Obama was president, GOP candidate Donald Trump felt threatened
(00:31):
by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people
who also happened.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
To be black.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Alluding to a previous Trump statement, Obama said, who's going
to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might
just be one of those black jobs. The FAA is
ordering the inspections of hundreds of Boeing seven eighty seven
Dreamliners after a flight last March took a sudden dive
that injured at least fifty The Chilean flight plunged after
(01:00):
a seat flew forward and knocked out the autopilot. At
least four familiar or similar issues rather have since been reported.
The inspections must be completed within the next month. Russia
is finding a complaint with the United States over American
reporters entering Russia alongside Ukrainian troops. Reporters from CNN and
(01:23):
The Washington Post have been in Sudza, a Russian town
currently under Ukrainian occupation, after surprise attack into Russian territory.
Moscow says the reporters crossed into Russia illegally and will
be prosecuted. Officials summoned a senior US diplomat on Tuesday
to express their displeasure.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Man, the raging racism that is apparely okay if you're
a Democrat and on the left. My gosh, I mean
some of the things that you just repeated that Michelle
Obo is saying.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
You know, by the way, I mean from the tip
of your note down the tip of your nose.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
How many Middle Americans who are struggling to hold on
to their quality of life can sit there and listen
to a bunch of politicians who are elitist.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I mean quite literally, Michelle.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Though I will say this, I've interviewed both years back
first time around when Barack ran and he was running
against Hillary pre primary, and I'll never forget Michelle Obama
her interview.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
She was very convincing she.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Was very convincing with you know, playing those sort of
to the middle class, even the blue collar crowd, saying,
you know, the cost of toilet papers out of control,
the cost of milk is out of control.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well that was then, this is now.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
And it's interesting the switch, the turn she got. She
still got it in her I'm just saying, I, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
But it doesn't it doesn't land the same way it
did then. Yeah, And I know plenty of people that
when Barack Obama was elected president. I know plenty of
people on the right that did not vote for him,
but thought, okay, he seems like a decent fellow, and
we were glad that we got that out of the way,
(03:20):
We got our first black president. We can put that
in the history books. And so it wasn't you know,
one of those moments where you're like, oh, you're dreading
the next four years because you know, say, I'd go
back at any time that John Kerry won the election
or Hillary Clinton won the election, it was different with
Barack Obama.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
People held out hope.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
There was hope at that point.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
There was hope, and he blew it and he spent
that political capital. And then now, I don't know if
people listen to those two now, you know, of course
black people do, and I won't lump them all together.
A lot of them don't buy into their politics, but
a lot of them do simply because he was the
(04:04):
first black president and they respect Barack and Michelle Obama.
But a lot of people are not going to be
gas lit by them anymore, and they're not buying what
they're selling anymore, of course not.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
The joy is not there. They've had three and a
half years or more. Then if you go back towards
you know, even with his presidency, I mean, the borders
are bad, the world's blowing up. Kamala is what's completely
unpopular until all of a sudden, now she's you know,
it's her coming and hits her time.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, this is what's so ridiculous about. Do something and
don't sit around and complain about things. Do something and
again with the hope and the joy. So what are
they doing something about and what are they complaining about?
And what can they finally have hope over that the
Biden Harris administration is going to be over. But the
Harris part sticks around.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Great question.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
They're not answering any of that with policy and any
talk of substance. It's all about Trump to arrangement syndrome
and how he's not a billionaire and how he's a
draft dodger. And I mean literally someone mashed up Trump Trump, Trump,
Trump and each speech and each person talking, and it
was literally just like a commercial for Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Have you been to Kamala's website?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh god, where does it go? Antifa dot com?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
No, it's there's nothing on there except fundraising. There's a bios.
There's a bio of Kamala, there's a bio of Tim Walls,
and then there's not a platform how you can donate
money to them. There is absolutely no policy. There's nothing
on there.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Well, and there's not been joy as the garbage of
their continuing to try to spread around is the joy
you're talking about the people outside your walls saying f
this country, burn it down, These anti Israel protesters, who,
by the way, have they yet did I miss it place?
Have they yet denounced the people outside, these anti Israel
(05:55):
protesters burning US flags outside as they're draped with flags
all around them.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
They're not going to denounce those people.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
The racism that quite literally is being thrown around at
the TNC. I mean Michelle Obama that was what does
she say black jobs?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
It's just jobs?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, I mean Trump has spoken of, you know, the
black jobs that he created, and people have knocked him
for using the term black jobs.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
So it was a job at those comments that Trump
had made.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Well, there's a layers and veiled attacks on Trump. Frankly,
you want to talk about jobs. I thought, like you
just mentioned, what does it do something? You know, don't
get angry, do something. It's I don't know. This race
card thing. Is it still working.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Bye?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, to a certain extent, I think so, But I
think it's less effective than it used to be.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Heck, I think absolutely less effective.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
In fact that you.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
See, we'll get your calls and comments here coming up
or where Trump just unleashes epic dunk on a report,
total hypocrisy when it comes to the left and racism
and all this, you know, ridiculousness playing the race card.
But the Harris campaign has been accusing Trump of speaking
(07:14):
at these KKK the KKK capital in Michigan, and Trump
just absolutely dropped a reporter who asked him, oh, you're
here the former home or whatever it was with KKK
here in Michigan.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Every auto worker here will be out of a job
within three years if I'm not elected.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
He hammered by the way he's up at the podium,
hammered back at the reporter and just ask him, well,
who visited here in twenty twenty one, And the reporter
had to egrow and say, Biden.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
All right, yeah, I mean, you know that's just not
treated as the same.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Well, it's not treated the same. And Trump's out there. JD.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Vans is out there getting attacked every day, and Kamala
is getting a free ride and hiding, and they let
her get away with it. And they also let them
get away with the fact that guess what, the KKK
is a tool of the Democratic Party. Yes, And the
Republicans are the ones who freed the slaves and fought
(08:13):
for those freedoms, and as a matter of fact.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Fought for women to vote lots of things, and.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
As a matter of fact, and for the civil rights
bill that LBJ passed and famously used the N word.
It was the Republicans who first tried to introduce civil
rights measures and were turned down by the Democrats and
foiled at every turn by the Democrats until the Democrats
sought as an opportunity to have every end vote for
(08:41):
them for the next one hundred years. According to the
President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson, that's what
he said at the time.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I'm just happy more and more people learning their history.
I mean, it's been quite a wake up call for
some It's like smelling salts, you know, it's been it's
been shocking for people to recognize and learn their history.
The Party of Freedom and Emancipation was the Republican Party.
It always has been.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Traffic and weather every ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays on
ninety four to three WSC on.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
This very day.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
In eighteen fifty eight, the Lincoln Douglas Debates began. Senator
Stephen Douglas of Illinois and Abraham Lincoln, a Kentucky born
lawyer and one time US representative from Illinois, began a
series of famous public encounters on the issue of slavery.
The two were competing for Douglas's US Senate seed. In
the seven Lincoln Douglas Debates, all about three hours long,
(09:42):
Lincoln argued against the spread of slavery, while Douglas maintained
that each territory should have the right to decide whether
it would become free or allow slavery. Lincoln lost the
Senate race, but his campaign brought national attention to the
brand new young Republican Party. Then, in eighteen sixty, Lincoln
won the Republican Party's presidential nomination. In that election, he
(10:06):
again faced Douglas, as well as Southern Democrat John C.
Breckinridge and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell. On November sixth,
eighteen sixty, Lincoln defeated his opponents with only forty percent
of the popular vote, becoming the first Republican to win
the presidency.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
From major events to local headlines, This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three WSC.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Mark my words right now, Blaze, I am predicting an
office coup or some type of mutiny because we are
out of coffee in the break room.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I was just fighting with Don and Finance for the
last k cup. No, I'm kidding, there's none in there.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I go to bring my own tea.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
There's nothing to fight over. There's literally no coffee in there.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I'm like, Oh, I better alert the authorities before everybody
arrives here this morning, because you know, people.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Are already on edge over all the stuff.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Traffic sucks this morning, and here we are talking to
local news headlines about five twenty six, Oh, I don't
know for my entire life, and finishing it, and they
want us to vote more money in their coffers to
do what you have not helped fix traffic with regards
to five twenty six and finishing this damn project.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Well, why would we trust them, I think, is your point.
It was supposed to be done way back when they
built five twenty six to begin with. And then now
look at the other road projects. Look at the sorry
state of our roads. I mean just how chunked out
they are and full of potholes and not adequate enough
(11:50):
to handle traffic. And then you look at where they
were even supposed to begin work on the main road,
seventeen intersect in February. And have you seen a shovel
in the ground there yet?
Speaker 6 (12:05):
No.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I wish I could blink and snap my fingers and
have a fly over there. It's just horrifying there this morning.
There's actually big backups there past Carolina Bay. At this point,
we'll check traffic and weather here coming up on ninety
four to three WSC.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Plus the DNC Live Wire night too. The Obamas have arrived, yes.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
And it's all about putting down Republicans and then all
of a sudden, we're all supposed to unify. What doesn't
it feel like the presidency Barack Obama's previous presidency where
he was the first black president, We're all coming together
and he was really the divider in chief. Much more
of that, much more of that was what we heard
and saw last night.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Well, Kamala is running against herself, and all these people
up there talking about you know what, do something about
it if you're unhappy, and oh there's hope again, and
there's joy again. It's like she's part of this administration.
Like if that's gone and the joy's gone and you're
all upset, she has a hand in that.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Someone needs to tell her team coverage of trafficing.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
But I mean, I'm literally also getting messages from people
on the left who are like, well, you know, she's
only she's only the vice president. I'm like, she's only
the cast tying vote in the Senate. She's only a
lot of actually very important things. She's not just up there. Oh,
man cackling her way through speeches and yellow school bus.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You know, so Gutfeld was hilarious last night. Tyres said
that Kamala is against everything that she cast a historic
tie breaking vote for, which I thought was a beautiful
way to sum that up, because that's exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
What's happening right now.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And then Guttfeld said that Doug Mhoff, Kamala's husband, he
was late for his speech, and Gettfeld said he was
too busy getting his nanny and abortion out at the
Planned Parenthood abortion boss out front.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Oh, y'all think we're joking about that, Absolutely, no joke.
Planned Parenthood out there saying you don't have to book
an appointment. We're doing free vest ectomies.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Just come on by, free vest sectomies, free reproductive care.
They call it, so abortion pills and all that. There's
even Democrats running around dressed as those abortion pills.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Sounds like so much fun they're having.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I think you want to be there, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, you had brought up to people that are saying, well,
she's only vice president, and I brought that up before.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I'm like, okay, so these.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Are Biden's policies, not Kamala Harris's policies, but she helped
prop them up, and she made excuses for them and
said they were working, and she cast the tie votes
to get a lot of these policies in place.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yep. And that's where you can place the blame.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
So maybe you can't say, well, she's the one that
came up with the policies in the first place, but
she is certainly responsible for a lot of them being
in place now. She never denounced them, she never spoke
out against the border. She voted for a lot of
these bad policies from the Biden administration as a tiebreaker,
which is the vice president's only job other than takeover
(15:21):
when the president's incapacitated. So, yeah, Kamala, you own it.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Well, not only that blaze, we didn't put the words
in her mouth when she just didn't sit down. You've
probably seen this little clip of rolling around your social
scrolls where she said I was often always the last
one in the room.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
I made sure I was the last one in the room,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
She's absolutely out here, whether she likes it or not,
today talking out the other side.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Of her mouth, she's out here. You know.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
It's the Internet lives forever like it or not. Well,
that's why it's no tape. Well, that's why she's hiding
from her policies. And I actually saw as folksperson for
the hair campaign yesterday. When questioned about why she won't
face the press and why she won't release any of
her policies, he says, well, we want to trust the
(16:12):
American people to know that we'll do the right thing
and that we're for the right thing when we trust
the American people, and more importantly, as a part of
that statement, he said, we trust the American people and
the press to get the story out that we're doing
the right thing.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And there you go, press, and right there it is
in a nutshell.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
