Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah. Now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good Monday morning too, And did you have a good weekend?
I hope so, I hope that this Monday is going
smooth for you. Of course, the biggest travel day of
the week kicked off over the weekend, actually, and there's
supposed to be a record amount of travelers. We just
heard from our National news correspondent Roy O'Neil about you know,
everything to be concerned about, not you know, in a
(00:29):
horribly serious way, but you know, at least be cognizant
of over Thanksgiving. If you're traveling by car, make sure
your car is in good shape. If you're frying a turkey.
Did I ever tell you about my turkey frying accident.
I didn't hurt myself, but I was frying a turkey
(00:51):
and the gas tank, you know, it's on a long
hose and it was I noticed it was a little strange.
I guess I started the oil and it didn't pay
enough attention to where the gas tank was and I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna move this a little bit. When I moved
the tank and this is several feet away from the fryer,
(01:12):
the hose flipped over and it touched the frame of
the fryer, which was very hot, melted a hole in
the hose. Next thing I know, it's blowing flames all
up in the air, and then it started almost immediately
overheating the oil. The oil starts spilling over and feeding
the fire. I mean, thankfully this was out in the yard,
(01:36):
but embarrassing, yes, dangerous, oh absolutely, But I didn't harm myself,
got the fire, got everything off, even salvage the turkey.
So everything turned out okay. But it shows you how
easily accidents can happen. President Trump's calling Marjorie Taylor Green's
(01:57):
surprised decision to leave Congress great news for the country.
Trump told ABC News that the Georgia Republican did not
inform him of her plans, but added, I think she
should be happy. Green said on Friday that she will
resign on January fifth. The former Trump supporter noted her
fall out with the president and told her supporter She's
always been committed to representing everyday Americans and has recognized
(02:22):
that nothing gets better for them no matter which way
the political political pendulum swings. And you know, I think
she actually has a point there that it does seem like,
at least so far, that no matter what, nothing seems
to get better. But here's Marjorie Taylor Green in her
(02:44):
own words.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I have too much self respect and dignity. I love
my family way too much, and I do not want
my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and
hateful primary against me by the president that we all
fought for.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So she I mean, she'd left him. I could play
the whole thing, but there's literally not enough time. It
was like ten minutes long, and she likened herself to
a battered wife and said, I'm not sticking around for this.
I supported this president and then he turned on me.
The President says that, you know, she's the one that
turned on him, and there's a feud among the two.
(03:23):
And you know, the President said that, you know, she
threw her support behind the wrong Republican, which was Thomas Massey.
And you know, there's no love loss between the President
and Thomas Massey. And now there's no love loss between
(03:45):
the President and Marjorie Taylor Green. Now, the President softened
his stance later on in the day yesterday and said
he hopes that she returns to politics after taking a break,
and I can't help but think, you know, a lot
of people think that the way the President treated her
and others is unfair, and I can't help but think,
(04:08):
you know, that's some of his frustrations showing through. He's
a man that's used to being in command in the
business world and trying to get his way in fighting
for it and doesn't have any patients when these other
people step in the way. And politics is I mean,
(04:31):
it's a gloves off business. You can say the business
world is that way, but in certain ways, the world
of politics is more genteel than the world of business.
That might be hard to grasp seeing it just how
nasty politics gets sometimes, but there is a certain decorum
(04:56):
where there has been, and that's been the tradition when
this president lashes out when he's not getting his way
or when somebody goes against him and he's trying to
accomplish things. And I'm not making any excuses, I'm just
trying to assess the situation. So you know, when somebody
of your own party is not going along with you,
(05:18):
I think that I think that has a maddening effect
on him. I think he gets even madder than he
does at the Democrats when it's a Republican that's not
going along with him, And think of all the things
that he's trying to accomplish, And I mean, the Democrats
are against him, and they're throwing everything they can and
taking him to court constantly, and he has to keep
(05:39):
going to court defending himself over the last ten years,
not only defending his positions that are under attack and
then these judges are ruling against him, but he's also
had to defend himself personally for under those personal attacks.
And no matter what he tries to do to fix
this country, they're coming at him. And you see these
(05:59):
demochs even releasing this video the other day last week,
you know, intimating that he's issuing illegal orders, although when
asked directly at least this list of Slotkin says well,
I can't think of anything that's illegal. It's like, well,
then why did you make that video? Just trying to disrupt, disrupt, disrupt, disrupt,
(06:24):
And I think that when it's a Republican that does
the same or not the same thing. But when a
Republican stands up to him, you know, within the Republican Party,
it's a pretty big tense, so people can disagree, but
when somebody disagrees with him publicly from his own party,
he does not have kind words for them. And I
(06:46):
kind of feel sorry for Marjorie Taylor Green because she
did stand with the president, and she did go out
in campaign for him, and she's been you know, she
gets death dress. She's been painted as some kind of
whack job, crazy lady. And I think she's pretty smart.
And if you see her outside of the news cycle
and outside of the little clips that they play, I
(07:09):
think you'll think the same thing. You might even be
surprised at how smart Marjorie Taylor Green is. And so,
you know, I feel sorry for her, but in a way,
I mean, that's politics, and she just decided she doesn't
want to do this anymore. And I have to wonder
how many others are going to decide they don't want
to do this anymore. You know, it's hard to go
(07:31):
fight for something and be attacked by not only the
people on the other side of the aisle, but then
all of a sudden, the president of the United States
turns on you. You're getting death threats and everything else.
Hard to keep your spirits up and stay in there.
And say I'm going to fight the good fight. You
know you're going to reach a point a lot of
people would were there to say, you know what, screw this,
I'm I'm done with it. Cover In this morning's top story,
(07:54):
Senator Mark Kelly is defending a video in which he
and other Democratic lawmakers tell military members to ignore orders
issued by President Trump if they're illegal. The Arizona Democrat
told CBS has Faced the Nation that the effort is
needed to push back against the president. Kelly said that
they basically reiterated the rule of law that members of
the military should not and cannot follow illegal orders. Trump
(08:18):
has doubled down on his criticism of Democrats who have
appeared in the video, saying in a recent post on
truth Social that those lawmakers should be in jail right
now and that it was sedition at its highest level now.
Senator Slotkin also appeared on the news programs over the
weekend and she was asked, point blank, so what is
(08:42):
it that this president is doing illegally? And she said, well,
I can't name anything that is illegal right now at
this point. So when Mark Kelly says that the efforts
needed to push back against the president really is it needed.
So if you can't name one illegal thing that he's doing,
(09:03):
why did you all come out and make a video
intimating that he was issuing illegal orders in telling the
military not to follow those orders. And in case you
missed this video, here I'll play you the audio from
it again. We did this on Friday, But in case
you weren't listening, here you go, and then you tell
me who's over the top.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Here, I'm Senator Alissa Sockin, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzios,
Congressman Maggie Goodlanyard, Representative Chrissy Hulahan, Congressman Jason Crowe.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I was a captain in the United States.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Navy, former CIA officer, former Davy, former paratrooper and Army ranger,
former intelligence officer, former Air Force.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
We want to speak directly to members of the military
and the intelligence community.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We
know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now.
Americans trust their military, with that trust is at risk.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
This administration is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community
professionals against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
To protect and defend this constitution right now.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
The threats to our constitution aren't just coming from road,
but from right here at home. Our laws are clear.
You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.
No one has to carry out orders that violate the
law or our constitution.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But whether you're serving in the CIA and the Army
or Navy, the Air.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have
your back because now more than.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Ever, the American people need you. We need you to
stand up for our laws, our constitution, and who we
are as Americans.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up. Don't
give up the ship. Don't give up the ship. Don't
give up. Don't give up, don't give up. And doesn't
it sound like they're telling these military members, we understand
the pressure you're under. We understand that this president has
no right to order you to do these things, and
you don't have to do them if you believe that
(11:02):
they're illegal as a matter of fact, that your duty
not to do them. And then they go on saying
that you know that the military is being pitted against
the citizens of the United States of America. Who are
these people pitting the military against. They're pitting the military
against their commander in chief. That's who they're pitting this
military against. And you know, is it sedition I'll leave
(11:27):
that up to you to decide, but it's it's certainly
just I think wrong of them to do this. It's
an embarrassment for them to do this. And I think
they know it, and I think the slot Kin knows
it when she went on TV and its like, well,
I don't you know at this moment in time, you know,
I can't name anything illegally that he's done. So why
(11:49):
the need for the video then, because they're trying to
disrupt things and they're trying to turn the military members
against their commander in chief. Mentionable and okay, I said,
I'll leave it for you to decide, and it's seditious behavior.
Good Monday morning. Are you prepared for Thanksgiving? Don't stress,
(12:13):
It'll be all right no matter what. You know what
you gather with family. And I would like to think
that your family would forgive you if everything's not picture perfect.
Maybe I don't know your family so I can't imagine
(12:33):
what that first kiss was like, and you study claims
the first kiss happened at least sixteen million years ago.
The study published last Wednesday claims the practice of pressing
lips together likely began with primates and then Neanderthals. Scientists
call it oral contact with some movement of the lips
mouth parts, but no food transfer, and say its evolutionary
(12:57):
function remains unclear, but it appears to be a display
of affection between genders. Researchers at Oxford or universities say
they have also seen the behavior in certain birds, bears,
and insects. Have you ever while you were watching nature
seen bears, birds, or insects making out? I can't recall
(13:19):
ever seeing that. I'd also like to know that when
they say that it appears to be a display of
affection between genders, which genders are they speaking of, because
obviously we have what it depends who you ask seventy
two now or something like that, So you know which
(13:41):
genders are displaying that affection throughout history, in dating back
sixteen million years ago, which genders were those that might
help explain things. Oh man, the ridiculousness that we live
in in this story. I mean, I could go on,
I could make a whole hour out of this story,
(14:02):
probably get plenty of complaints. A lot of people would
not get my humor or be offended by it. But
you know, this story is chock full of all kinds
of things to make fun of. The oral to oral
contact with no food transfer, you know, the display of
affection between genders, and then the beast reality aspect of
(14:23):
it by you know, having bears and other animals also
displaying this behavior. But interesting that the first kiss happened
according to this new study they think sixteen million years ago.
At least sixteen million years ago. Thanks for listening to
