Speaker 1 (00:03):
Your news, traffic, weather and information station. This is Charleston's
morning news on ninety four to three wsc NOW. Back
to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
And a shout out to our emergency managers there top stories,
local news headlines, Live five News mentioning today's Dorchester emergency
management hurricane preparedness. Look, you can go there and get
a kid six to eight pm tonight there in Summerville,
So shout out to them for doing that.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
We'll covering this morning's top story is Ukrainian President Zelensky
says no date has been set for his meeting with
Russian President Putin. Speaking with reporters outside of the White
House yesterday, he said he had a productive meetings. He
had a productive meeting with President Trump and other European leaders. However,
there was no date yet set for his face to
face with Putin. Trump said that after the talks, he's
(00:53):
arranging a meeting between Zelenski and Putin, but again no
date has been set.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Sorry about that. That was the NATO's secretary actually speaking
about how this is about security measures and it's not
so much about being a part of NATO. And I
thought that that was interesting. In case Ruta Ruta is
his name. I believe the secretary talking with Fox about
and I feel like this is kind of the first
time because you know, it's I thought, you know, this
(01:19):
has been about zelenskiy Z wanting to be a member
of NATO. I mean, this has been a fight for
quite some time, and now this is the first time
hearing from this guy going well, it's more about security,
doesn't mean so much about membership.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You're discussing here is not natal membership or for discussing
here is Article five type of security guarantees for Ukraine
and what they exactly will entail will now be more
specifically discussed.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh okay, So apparently it's about our it's still about
our money and our missiles. And that's a trump card
right there that Trump needs to hold real close to
the vest. And I mean, of course, with Russia, this
is about they're trading partners. It's about oil production. It's
about oil being provided to the European Union and Russia's economy.
(02:05):
I mean, we could ramp up production here in the
US on our own oil and provide that to the EU,
and that would, you know, basically sink Russia's economy. So
we'll see which if a Trump card gets pulled.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, I heard Mike Pompeo say that, you know, so
they can split hairs here and say that it's not
joining NATO. But if there's security forces on the ground
with the backing of the United States and weapons supplied,
then it's essentially the same thing, is the way Putin's
(02:41):
going to see it?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, and that was a hard no. From Friday's meeting
in the Kremlin in Russia and Alaska with Trump. I
mean they reportedly said yes to seating and foregoing some
land the two key territories along the Dannepper River. It's
like kersh and I can't is the poor I can't
pronounce the two exact regions, but it sounded like Vladimir
(03:06):
Putin was like, okay to these two along the Neber River,
but when it comes to US troops, it's a hard no.
And I would add to the Magabase it would be
the same, how much more money are we going to
throw at this? And now you want to put, you know,
US boots on the ground over there, I would ask,
is that a hard note for you? I mean three
(03:26):
hundred billion dollars, over a million people are dead, and
now you want our you know, boys and girls over there.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Well, that's not what I've heard. I've heard being framed
like the United States is providing a guarantee that Europe
would be the ones with the boots on the ground. Well,
he was in the United States would guarantee the Ukraine
security and the backup for Europe if needed.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, I hope you're right about that. He was asked
directly about it yesterday with US troops on the ground there,
and maybe it was just the way that he answered it,
but it didn't sit right with me, and hecclaim Buck
even we're you know, banting back and forth about it.
But that's, you know, to me, a hard no.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well, here's the problem with NATO is that you have
people like Zielenski, who a lot of people are saying
are in over his head and a lot of people
are saying that's why it was stunning to see all
of these European Union leaders at the White House yesterday
and the head of the UN and when when is
the last time that that's happened, and so it was
(04:35):
stunning to see them all come together to pursue this piece.
But the thing is, if Ukraine is allowed to enter NATO,
then we are required, demanded to secure them and provide
their security and they can drag us into some war
at any moment.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, Ruta, they're just saying that that's not exactly to me,
Like he's pulling this off off the table, like Okay,
we're not gonna you know, this isn't really what we're
fighting over. We're fighting basically over our missiles and our money.
When it comes to Zelensky in the US and Ukraine,
and frankly, that's part of the Trump card. He could
pull that and say no, you're not going to get
(05:17):
our patriot missiles and you're frankly, you know, money's gone,
so all dried up. Three hundred billion dollars is enough,
already more than a million dead. And then what happens,
They're going to lose their land to Russia. So Russia
can lose its economy or Zelensky can lose its land,
and Trump and the US can walk away from all
of this. But when it comes to the European Union
(05:38):
and all that leadership, they need Russia's oil and Zelensky
pulled u you know, drone attack on Russia key pipeline
that was providing oil to the to European countries the
morning of this meeting yesterday, and I know a lot
of being reported on the fact that you've got Va
(06:00):
over here bombing. It was an apartment building. I think
I saw the pictures we were talking about earlier, and
so they're both trying to blast for leverage. Here.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
They attacked a power station that runs the pipeline. Europe
is backed off buying Russian oil for the most part.
There's a couple of countries that are.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Holding on by uranium for their power plants. It's not just.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, they backed off buying Russian oil except for these
two countries, Hungary and whatever. The other one is that
this pipeline supplies. So I mean it's you know, it's
you have to thread a needle here and to get
to some kind of peace accord. Trump showed the world
that he was up to the task, and the world
(06:43):
showed up at our doorstep. So that in itself is
a pretty stunning development. Things are abound to look a
bit different on Bohict Creek, an abandoned former US Navy
vessel will be removed from Bohica Creek today. The South
Carolina Department of Natural Resco Russ says the ship's owner,
Samuel I'm going to slaughter his name. kDa Maddy I
(07:06):
think it is, was charged in July with two charges
of abandoning watercraft. For years. The vessel has been grounded
near a private dock near John's Island and has been
leaking oil in the waterways. Kad Madi is the first
person to be arrested under the state's new ab abandoned
boat laws.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Boy, if they're cracking down on this, this is going
to be a huge, as Trump would say, issue, because
there are a lot of abandoned boats out there, Yes, there.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Are, and I mean this one stands out because it's
a former US Navy vessel.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
How did he get his hands on a former US
Navy vessel?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Well, he probably bought it from the.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Surplus I guess. So I have bought stuff from the
surplus dot whatever Gov site before myself, but not a
US Navy vessel.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
And then they've talked about different ways to dispose of it.
So they're going to do this at six pm tonight
off of Cherry you know, the Cherry Point boat landing,
and then they have to decide what they're going to
do with it if they're going to just smash it
up into pieces and put it in a landfill, or
if they're going to clean it up environmentally. They already
(08:16):
emptied it of you know, the gas and oil, but
there's the remnants of that that's been leaking into the creek,
so they would have to clean it up further. And
then they might sink it and you know, make it
an artificial reef, which you know, I'd rather see that happen.
Then it go in a landfill.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, that would be awful to that it all crushed
up and instead of being repurposed in some fashion.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah. And if you have an abandoned boat out there,
beware exactly the laws of change. They're going to come
after you. And how many of these remember there was
one in the Ashley River for forever. Remember the sailboats
sitting on the bottom with the masks sticking up there.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh my god, there's tons, There's tons of them all over.
I mean, if you do enough boating around here, you'll see.
I mean it's really gotten pretty terrible. Finally they're doing something,
But well, they need.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
To leave the graffiti boat alone on Folly Road. He
must have been joking when he called him essential, right,
he must have been joking committee in Conan O'Brien is
predicting a future evolution of late night television. O'Brien shared
his outlook during his induction into the Television Academy Hall
of Fame, and he also celebrated the comics and writers
(09:29):
behind the shows. The comedian told the crowd late night
television as we have known it since around nineteen fifty
is going to disappear, but those voices are not going anywhere,
and he added that people like Stephen Colbert are too
talented and too essential to go away. O'Brien expressed optimism
(09:50):
that the talents will be able to find a new
medium as the landscape of the industry changes.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, if you're so essential, the medium will work
its all out and you will still continue to succeed
at your craft.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
In what world is Stephen Colbert essential?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Was it the part through COVID where he dressed up
with like dancing vaccination needles and did this weird PSA?
Is that when he was essential?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah? Essential to what Conan O'Brien. I mean, that's a
foolish thing to say.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I agree. I like Conan actually and that bothers me.
I mean he has his moments.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, I don't hate him, but I never thought
he was that funny.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's very campy.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
He's another one of those, you know. I mean he's
better probably than he's certainly better than Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh, whether you're gonna throw a Fallon in there, I'll
give him that. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I mean, I haven't seen that show in a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I mean, Fallon has his moments.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I think Jimmy Fallon's kind of funny sometimes and he
does those little musical bits.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I love his musical bits.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So I think Jimmy Fallon is talented and way more talented.
I think Jimmy Kimmel is a I can't say it
on the air. That guy is that one of the
biggest jerks.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, he seems creepy.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
He is creepy, and he started on the match. He's
a fraud, is what he is.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You mean, he's not essential. I still can't believe he
called Colbert Thon well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
On his own mind. And then Conan was always kind
of like I thought, you know, the B player of
his day.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He's like the nerdy, funny guy sometimes and then.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He says stupid things like this improves the point where
I think that that Stephen Colbert is essential and there
look at the ball where like again like oh my god,
CBS firing Stevid Cobert is like an attack on democracy.
He's so essential and it's an attack on I'm surprised
(11:57):
to even go into that whole thing, his attack democracy.
If I receiving Colbert, who's going to get up here
do whatever he does.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I don't you know, maybe Konnon O'Brien's concerned. You know,
they keep making the memes of all the next you know,
the I don't know if you've seen some of them
where it's like pictures of the doors and the grim
reapers kind of, you know, and it's the their green
rooms and it's got, you know, above it, the signs
and you know, the cackling hens of the viewer next.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So you think Conan O'Brien's concerned.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I was unaware that he had a show.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Conan O'Brien being a comedian and having such a long
career and these people seem to be stepping and jumping up,
you know, stepping on a rake. Frankly, for for Stephen Colbert,
when it's like, why do you even need a weigh
in on this? What are you so concerned about? I mean,
it's just it's it's like they're being there. They seem
(12:55):
they seem concerned for their careers for some reason.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Well, if you're a late night host, i'd be concerned
for my career unless i'm Greg Gutfeld.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, he's soaring, who's kicking all of their behinds? Yep.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And you know you can't lose forty six million dollars
a year, whatever the number was. I think that's correct.
In Stephen Colbert's case, You're not that essential exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I was gonna say that the price of being essential,
Now I'm negative forty six mil.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah. Well, and then on top of his salary, So
that's the amount of money they're losing, and then they're
paying them millions to lose the forty six million dollars.
Sounds like a good business plan to me. But of course,
what are you going to do when you have somebody
so essential as Stephen Colbert? So what is tooth in
eye surgery? He may be surprised to find out it's
(13:49):
exactly what it sounds like. A Canadian man who went
blind over two decades ago can see again thanks to
a procedure called tooth in eye surgery. Doctors in Vancouver
took out one of the patient's teeth, put a plastic
lens into it, and inserted it into his eye socket.
It sounds odd, but the tooth is so hard it
(14:12):
decreases the chances of rejecting the lens. Chapman is one
of only three people to have undergone the surgery since
it was developed in the nineteen sixties. He says he
feels fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I guess so this is incredible and been around since
the sixties and only three people have benefited from this.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Wow, well you have to wonder why it's only three.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, this kind of blows my mind.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I kind of want some more details now on tooth
in eye surgery. So they literally extract a tooth in
fashion an eye out of it, and it says he
can see again. So it's not only it says, you know,
put it in. They put it into his eye socket.
You would have to assume that they collect that they
(14:58):
connect optical nerves. Was it all of these things to it?
How do they do that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't know. This is just wild to me. And uh,
I don't know, have you gotten your smart idea yet?
So years ago, when we're having to you know, re
up your licenses and all this stuff, you know, they
ask if you want to be an organ donor and
that includes eye donor, like very specifically they ask. And
I was like thinking, do I want someone else to
(15:24):
have my eyes? And then I realized that they just
need the important part, you know, they just need the lenses.
So I this to me is like blows my mind that, well,
now we can pluck a tooth. Like what.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I wasn't that in a movie where all of a
sudden you're you know, you die and your eyes get
donated and now they're in a murderer. You get to
see all the horrible things.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There's a lot of stuff, A lot of stuff went
through my mind there in the DMV years ago that
day when I was like, do I want to be
an organ donor? Someone going to be walking around with
my eyes?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
You know, of course if you're not using it anymore,
you might help somebody else.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I recycle all the parts.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now they're recycling them right out of your own body.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So now my tooth could be in someone's eye.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Plus, what does that look like?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I was thinking that as you were talking, Like what
does it look like when you have an eye of
tooth in your eye?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How do you make that look like a smooth blank
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I don't know how any of this works.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm stunned by the tooth in eye surgery and I'm
almost starting to like, hmmm, it's been around since the sixties.
There's something else to this story. Yeah, it's been around
since the sixties. This guy can see again, but it's
only been done on three people.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Those wacky Canadians, Like, why.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Would that be so anyway? Uh, you know, great for
this gentleman who received his tooth in his eye and
can now see.

must have been joking when he called him essential, right,
he must have been joking committee in Conan O'Brien is
predicting a future evolution of late night television. O'Brien shared
his outlook during his induction into the Television Academy Hall
of Fame, and he also celebrated the comics and writers
(09:29):
behind the shows. The comedian told the crowd late night
television as we have known it since around nineteen fifty
is going to disappear, but those voices are not going anywhere,
and he added that people like Stephen Colbert are too
talented and too essential to go away. O'Brien expressed optimism
(09:50):
that the talents will be able to find a new
medium as the landscape of the industry changes.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, if you're so essential, the medium will work
its all out and you will still continue to succeed
at your craft.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
In what world is Stephen Colbert essential?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Was it the part through COVID where he dressed up
with like dancing vaccination needles and did this weird PSA?
Is that when he was essential?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah? Essential to what Conan O'Brien. I mean, that's a
foolish thing to say.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I agree. I like Conan actually and that bothers me.
I mean he has his moments.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, I don't hate him, but I never thought
he was that funny.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's very campy.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
He's another one of those, you know. I mean he's
better probably than he's certainly better than Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Oh, whether you're gonna throw a Fallon in there, I'll
give him that. Oh, Jimmy Kimmel's Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I mean, I haven't seen that show in a long time.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I mean, Fallon has his moments.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I think Jimmy Fallon's kind of funny sometimes and he
does those little musical bits.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I love his musical bits.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So I think Jimmy Fallon is talented and way more talented.
I think Jimmy Kimmel is a I can't say it
on the air. That guy is that one of the
biggest jerks.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, he seems creepy.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
He is creepy, and he started on the match. He's
a fraud, is what he is.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You mean, he's not essential. I still can't believe he
called Colbert Thon well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
On his own mind. And then Conan was always kind
of like I thought, you know, the B player of
his day.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He's like the nerdy, funny guy sometimes and then.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He says stupid things like this improves the point where
I think that that Stephen Colbert is essential and there
look at the ball where like again like oh my god,
CBS firing Stevid Cobert is like an attack on democracy.
He's so essential and it's an attack on I'm surprised
(11:57):
to even go into that whole thing, his attack democracy.
If I receiving Colbert, who's going to get up here
do whatever he does.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I don't you know, maybe Konnon O'Brien's concerned. You know,
they keep making the memes of all the next you know,
the I don't know if you've seen some of them
where it's like pictures of the doors and the grim
reapers kind of, you know, and it's the their green
rooms and it's got, you know, above it, the signs
and you know, the cackling hens of the viewer next.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So you think Conan O'Brien's concerned.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I was unaware that he had a show.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Conan O'Brien being a comedian and having such a long
career and these people seem to be stepping and jumping up,
you know, stepping on a rake. Frankly, for for Stephen Colbert,
when it's like, why do you even need a weigh
in on this? What are you so concerned about? I mean,
it's just it's it's like they're being there. They seem
(12:55):
they seem concerned for their careers for some reason.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Well, if you're a late night host, i'd be concerned
for my career unless i'm Greg Gutfeld.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, he's soaring, who's kicking all of their behinds? Yep.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
And you know you can't lose forty six million dollars
a year, whatever the number was. I think that's correct.
In Stephen Colbert's case, You're not that essential exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I was gonna say that the price of being essential,
Now I'm negative forty six mil.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah. Well, and then on top of his salary, So
that's the amount of money they're losing, and then they're
paying them millions to lose the forty six million dollars.
Sounds like a good business plan to me. But of course,
what are you going to do when you have somebody
so essential as Stephen Colbert? So what is tooth in
eye surgery? He may be surprised to find out it's
(13:49):
exactly what it sounds like. A Canadian man who went
blind over two decades ago can see again thanks to
a procedure called tooth in eye surgery. Doctors in Vancouver
took out one of the patient's teeth, put a plastic
lens into it, and inserted it into his eye socket.
It sounds odd, but the tooth is so hard it
(14:12):
decreases the chances of rejecting the lens. Chapman is one
of only three people to have undergone the surgery since
it was developed in the nineteen sixties. He says he
feels fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I guess so this is incredible and been around since
the sixties and only three people have benefited from this.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Wow, well you have to wonder why it's only three.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, this kind of blows my mind.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I kind of want some more details now on tooth
in eye surgery. So they literally extract a tooth in
fashion an eye out of it, and it says he
can see again. So it's not only it says, you know,
put it in. They put it into his eye socket.
You would have to assume that they collect that they
(14:58):
connect optical nerves. Was it all of these things to it?
How do they do that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't know. This is just wild to me. And uh,
I don't know, have you gotten your smart idea yet?
So years ago, when we're having to you know, re
up your licenses and all this stuff, you know, they
ask if you want to be an organ donor and
that includes eye donor, like very specifically they ask. And
I was like thinking, do I want someone else to
(15:24):
have my eyes? And then I realized that they just
need the important part, you know, they just need the lenses.
So I this to me is like blows my mind that, well,
now we can pluck a tooth. Like what.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I wasn't that in a movie where all of a
sudden you're you know, you die and your eyes get
donated and now they're in a murderer. You get to
see all the horrible things.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There's a lot of stuff, A lot of stuff went
through my mind there in the DMV years ago that
day when I was like, do I want to be
an organ donor? Someone going to be walking around with
my eyes?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
You know, of course if you're not using it anymore,
you might help somebody else.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I recycle all the parts.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now they're recycling them right out of your own body.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So now my tooth could be in someone's eye.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Plus, what does that look like?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I was thinking that as you were talking, Like what
does it look like when you have an eye of
tooth in your eye?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
How do you make that look like a smooth blank
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I don't know how any of this works.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm stunned by the tooth in eye surgery and I'm
almost starting to like, hmmm, it's been around since the sixties.
There's something else to this story. Yeah, it's been around
since the sixties. This guy can see again, but it's
only been done on three people.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Those wacky Canadians, Like, why.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Would that be so anyway? Uh, you know, great for
this gentleman who received his tooth in his eye and
can now see.
