Speaker 1 (00:02):
News headlines and the talk you need.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays on
ninety four to three wsc boy.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
The race to replace Nancy Mace is getting crowded. Welcome
into a Wednesday edition of the show.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Charleston County Councilwoman Jenny Honeycutt is joining the growing list
of those running to replace US Representative Nancy Mace. Honeycutt
says she's a lifelong Low Country resident, mom, wife, attorney,
small business owner, and public servant who will seek to
balance budgets, support law enforcement, and defend the constitution. Honeycott
soay she'll provide residents with serious, solid conservative leadership in Congress,
(00:40):
as too many politicians today chase headlines and clickbait instead
of focusing on the issues that can make real differences
for their constituents. The other candidates who have already announced
are Democrat Robert Lee Beers the Third Republican Jay Buyers, Democrat,
William macd ford, Democrat Max Diaz, Republican Jack Allison, Republican,
(01:02):
doctor Sam McCown, Republican, Alex Pelbath, Democrat, Maira Rivera Vesquez,
and Republican Mark Smith.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Deep breath.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I wonder, you know, add to this list, this ever
growing list, the idea some batting around, some political insiders
mulling around the idea that Mace actually crashes out of
the governor's race early spring and decides that she's going
to run for her.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Own seat again in congret.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, I mean could be.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So that is that's a scenario that you know, insiders
are talking about. Who knows meantime, This reminds me of
when Sanford talk about a crash out with the love
gov and all that other stuff, even though he was
reelected after that, but eventually an election came up for
his seat and there were I think sixteen candidates on
(01:56):
the Republican ticket that time. You got to wonder if
this is going to grow to something that big. It's
getting pretty crowded.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, you mentioned Mark Sandford. I would have prepared.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I don't know. Nuna's what's her name?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
The reporter that was I saw that headline yet accused.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Of you know, having a you know, there was a
sexting incident with RFK Junior with Bobby Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Olivia Nunas is that her.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Name might be. I had to build the headline here.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
And anyway, so now there's a story out there saying
that one of the reasons for her divorce her husband
accused her of having an affair with Mark Sandford.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, she basically intimated, or at least he found documentation
that she was pretty obsessed with him.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
That's what I was reading.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
She seems to be obsessed with a whole lot of
report or political people in power that she covers.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It's a weird story.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And I know that came out yesterday, and he's I think,
pinning a book about her. They were pinning a book
together as a married couple, and then that all got
blown up.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, but you know, back to I mean, we're still
a year out in this race, and that many people
have announced for the first district already, you have to
wonder if there's going to be more. And as you
brought up the history with Mark Sandford, there was a
lot of candidates in that race.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Oh gosh, it was almost impossible to you know.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I remember am seeing a debate and with the sixteen candidate,
I mean, we may have got two questions in.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I mean, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I just wish sometimes that there would be some coalescing
around the strongest candidate and we can go back and forth.
And that's not how Republicans do it. There's a primary
process for a reason. But the biggest issue in South
Carolina is we don't have closed primaries. So Democrats come
in and they mucky up our candidates that actually get chosen.
So there we need to close our primaries between now
(03:53):
and next year's primary. I am, I know we have
one shout out to Representative Pace Jordan Pace as a sponsor,
a co sponsor of closing our primaries. That bill was
introduced in the state legislature back in January. I mean
that was about to be a year ago.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Now at this.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Point, well, it's been an issue for years and years
and years.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I know it goes back to the two thousand.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And they haven't been able to get it done yet.
So hopefully this time around they can get that done.
And by the way, it wasn't Nunas, it was Olivia Newsy,
you know.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
The reporter who.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Worked for New York Magazine among other publications and news
organizations that you know we're talking about here, who came
out had a you know, sexting incident with RFK Junior
and now it's making headlines that Mark Sandford may be
involved in.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
That Salacia story.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
There they love GeV and I like Mark Sandford. You know.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Actually there was one point in time where I thought
he was going to be president until he cried on
national TV and said he was going to go home
and try to find a way to love his wife again.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'm tell you, I know, I had dude bad moves.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Listen, I was broadcasting internationally. Actually, I've got a lot
of blowback. I mean, I was on BBC and other
parts of Canada talking about the love God. People were
calling from all over wanting to know what the world
was going on with our governor.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
And I got to tell you, I.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Mean I took out for that guy, even as a congressman,
even going off the rails because of what he did politically,
not personally, and so that was something else I like
Mark too.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
A majority of Americans believe extreme political rhetoric contributed to
the killing of conservative activists Charlie Kirk. According to a
recent NBC News poll, fifty four percent of Democrats and
seventy three percent of Republicans said they feel that extreme
political rhetoric used by some in the media and by
political leaders was an important contributor to Kirk's death. When
(05:56):
looking at independent voters, fifty three percent blame rhetoric, while
twenty eight percent said they felt it was an incident
caused by a disturbed person. Kirk's assassination sparked conversations about
freedom of speech and followed other notable incidents of political violence.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
So I'll just stick with the Republican and Democrats stats
here in this polls. So this shows forty six percent
of Democrats are in complete denial, and to be fair,
I guess it shows twenty seven percent of Republicans to
be in denial. It is clear the left's weaponization of
words and communication. They're peddling of outright lies if you
want to talk about you know, not just politicians, but
(06:33):
the media. It's become so toxic it's obviously resulting in
deadly terror and at the hands of unhinged lunatics. Frankly,
and that's my nod there to the independent statistics.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
She shared.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, well, I mean, so maybe the forty six percent
of Democrats think it was about, you know, was caused
by a disturbed person. So I don't you know, I
don't know if you can make these assumptions that they
all are just removed from reality.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Two things can be true at the same time. Charlie
Kirk was the most measured order of my lifetime. He
could have gone on to become President of the United
States one day. There was no one else like him.
I mean, his movement was and will continue to provide
a seismic shift amongst young people.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Now, you know, I think it's totally ridiculous to paint
him in the light that the left, and especially the
violent faction of the I don't know if I can
love them all together. I don't know how to describe
them anymore. There's so many, you know, the violent left
trans movement.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You know how they feel about him.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I mean, it's ridiculous to say he was that he
gave them a platform if anything. Yep, he gave them
a voice they didn't have before, if anything, And they're
angry at him and ended up, you know, being I think,
responsible for his death. And it's just I don't even know.
(08:05):
It's maddening to me, and you have to try to
remain calm. This poor guy went out there and all
he did was try to have a conversation and a
debate and invited anybody to step up and debate him,
and the left turned that into calling it a form
(08:25):
of hate speech.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Which is a lie, in complete lunacy.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Well it's not only a lie. This goes back to
before and I'm just going to speak honestly. How the
hell do their brains work? How do you square that?
How do you say that this guy who has a
certain opinion of things and allows you to get up
and debate him, and he gives you He has a
national stage. You have nothing. He invites you on the
(08:53):
national stage to debate him and give your side of things,
and he's the hater. I don't how do these people think.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
I agree with you?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
There's nothing about anything Charlie Kirk spoke of that was
about hate. I mean when I say his influence on
young people in a seismic shift and how they live
and what they believe, I mean it more young people
now than ever that I can see in my lifetime.
You know, he they're leaning into becoming believers and leaning
into their faith in the Lord. What it's toxic about.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
That because it's a threat to their way of life
and their beliefs, and they can't handle being called out.
They can't handle that somebody challenge them. They can't handle
the fact that they may be wrong, so they just
lash out like a child in anger instead and violence.
(09:44):
And that's the problem we're facing in this country. And
that's what's dangerous about all of this, what is wrong
with humanity. Investigators in Italy are looking into a report
that claims Italian tourists paid to be able to shoot
at civilians in war torn Sarajevo in the early nineteen nineties.
(10:04):
A Milan based writer says very wealthy people with a
passion for weapons paid to be able to kill defenseless
civilians in the city during the Bosnian War. The writer
says different rates were charged to kill men, women or children.
The wealthy tourists went on so called snipers safaris in Sarajevo.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yes, sick. Well, it goes to show you how sick
and evil humans can be.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'mreal, Yeah, we were just you know, in our last
conversation talking about how do these people's brains work? Or
you can say that somebody deserves to die over their
opinion and call them a hater because they gave you
a platform to share your opinions and debate them. And
now you have this story, and you know what, if
this was a few years ago, I'd call BS on
(10:50):
this story. But now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Nineteen nineties, early nineteen nineties human Wow, I mean, this
is just disturbing. This is the kind of stuff that
keeps me up at night, things like this, like our
previous conversation, these things, very wealthy people paid to kill
(11:16):
defenseless humans, men, women, children.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
This is, like I said, a few years ago, probably
i'd call it BS, and now I'm not so sure.
I've reflected a lot of times on how we think
we're so advanced now and call it woke, call it
whatever you want. You know, Oh my gosh, look at
the horrible things that happen in humanity. But we're so
(11:40):
much better now, and we're so much more enlightened. These
things cann't happen again. They can happen in an instant.
They're still happening. So I don't think we're any different
than they were when sixty something million people died sixty
million in World War Two or in any other war,
or in any other atrocity. Is you know, it's the
(12:02):
same human beings.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Advance we've devolved into public assassinations and.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Hugh Well in ways, you know, but even that's been
going on forever. I look at Caesar, so you know,
we're the same old humanity that has a weak link
in it and a mean streak, to be honest. Fights
broke out in the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, yesterday after
counter protesters greeted those taking part in what was seen
(12:32):
by many as an anti Muslim rally. Dearborn has a
large Muslim community, and a few dozen protesters were marching
down Michigan Avenue claiming Sharia law was being practiced there.
Things got heated when Florida Republican Jake Lang, who's running
to film Secretary of State Marco Rubio's old Senate seat,
started marching around carrying the Quran and a package of bacon.
(12:55):
A counter protesters stepped in, appearing to punch Lang in
the face. Good lord, So we talked about these elections
across the country where these Muslims were elected. You know,
I brought up at the time we have to tread
carefully on, you know, saying that just being a Muslim
(13:16):
should be shunned, but certainly being a Muslim and trying
to Institute. Sure, real law in the United States should
be shunned. And I'll tell you this because I grew
up in Michigan and I'm familiar with the area. Deerburn's
not the only place that you know has this Muslim population.
Ham Trammick is a city within Detroit. It is totally
(13:40):
surrounded by Detroit. It's a famously Polish city, but not anymore.
Dodge Maine. I always joke, so you know, I work
at Datch Maine. You know, if you listen with a
Polish accent, they worked at Dutch. But anyway, Dodge Maine
was there, and now it's predominantly Muslim and they literally
(14:03):
play the prayer over the loudspeakers in the city three
times a day.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, yeah, I mean this has been going on for decades.
And this is why you mentioned her the earlier story.
We were talking about Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking
the lead. He's designating two Muslim groups foreign terrorist organizations
in Texas, and you know, this is where and we're
talking about the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council for American
(14:28):
Islamic Relations, people like Bridget Gabriel. I continue to talk
about her for decades now, because since the nineteen nineties
she has been out here trying to raise awareness about this,
about the notion. And we got some talkbacks on this
that you know, if you're Muslim, it's a tenant to
believe in Sharia law. Now, the issue, and Steve pointed
it out in his talkback, is it's one thing for
(14:51):
you to want to follow Sharia law, but to impose
that on all Americans is an absolute another thing.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And correct.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, And Bridget's point, she she ran down the elections
while we were all paying attention eyes on New York
City and marrileg Mom, Donnie, there was a massive Muslim
political sweep and forty two wins nationwide across our country.
That included Texas and there were eight other states, and
we're talking mayor's, school boards, council seats, even judges.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Well, we need to be aware of what they're doing.
And so, you know, to my point, but Bridget's a Muslim.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Right, she's Lebanese American.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well that's two different things. But anyway, you know, the
fact is, you know, there's a lot of people trying
to assimilate into this country and enjoy, you know, the
fruits of democracy. And Western civilization, and so you know,
we can't lump them all together. But that doesn't mean
(15:52):
that we can't stand up and call out the ones
that are trying to push the tenets of the Qur'an
on us and Sharia law that can't be allowed in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It simply can't.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well, you ask about Bridget Gabriel. She's a Lebanies American,
she's a conservative activist, she's a lot of things, but
she's a critic of Islamic extremism. That's what she is
out here trying to raise the red flags about.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, I realize that my point being, and it really
doesn't matter. I mean, I don't care one way or
the other what religion she is. But there's Muslims out
there that are, as I said, trying to assimilate into
this country. And you know, it would be unfair to
lump them in all together and just be totally anti Muslim.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Right, I would agree with them.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
And the same thing. I mean, you can say the
same thing. You know, I grew up Catholic, and it
would be like if I'm running for office and they're like,
you got to watch out for those Catholics.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Here comes this Catholic.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I mean, I haven't really practiced Catholicism in a very
long time, and I'm not so sure I was ever
a good Catholic. So you know, you have to be
measured in your approach on these things. But at the
same time, very alarming that there's people in this country
trying to push Sharia law and don't believe that there's
(17:10):
not for a minute.

young people in a seismic shift and how they live
and what they believe, I mean it more young people
now than ever that I can see in my lifetime.
You know, he they're leaning into becoming believers and leaning
into their faith in the Lord. What it's toxic about.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
That because it's a threat to their way of life
and their beliefs, and they can't handle being called out.
They can't handle that somebody challenge them. They can't handle
the fact that they may be wrong, so they just
lash out like a child in anger instead and violence.
(09:44):
And that's the problem we're facing in this country. And
that's what's dangerous about all of this, what is wrong
with humanity. Investigators in Italy are looking into a report
that claims Italian tourists paid to be able to shoot
at civilians in war torn Sarajevo in the early nineteen nineties.
(10:04):
A Milan based writer says very wealthy people with a
passion for weapons paid to be able to kill defenseless
civilians in the city during the Bosnian War. The writer
says different rates were charged to kill men, women or children.
The wealthy tourists went on so called snipers safaris in Sarajevo.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yes, sick. Well, it goes to show you how sick
and evil humans can be.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I'mreal, Yeah, we were just you know, in our last
conversation talking about how do these people's brains work? Or
you can say that somebody deserves to die over their
opinion and call them a hater because they gave you
a platform to share your opinions and debate them. And
now you have this story, and you know what, if
this was a few years ago, I'd call BS on
(10:50):
this story. But now I'm not so sure.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Nineteen nineties, early nineteen nineties human Wow, I mean, this
is just disturbing. This is the kind of stuff that
keeps me up at night, things like this, like our
previous conversation, these things, very wealthy people paid to kill
(11:16):
defenseless humans, men, women, children.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
This is, like I said, a few years ago, probably
i'd call it BS, and now I'm not so sure.
I've reflected a lot of times on how we think
we're so advanced now and call it woke, call it
whatever you want. You know, Oh my gosh, look at
the horrible things that happen in humanity. But we're so
(11:40):
much better now, and we're so much more enlightened. These
things cann't happen again. They can happen in an instant.
They're still happening. So I don't think we're any different
than they were when sixty something million people died sixty
million in World War Two or in any other war,
or in any other atrocity. Is you know, it's the
(12:02):
same human beings.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Advance we've devolved into public assassinations and.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Hugh Well in ways, you know, but even that's been
going on forever. I look at Caesar, so you know,
we're the same old humanity that has a weak link
in it and a mean streak, to be honest. Fights
broke out in the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, yesterday after
counter protesters greeted those taking part in what was seen
(12:32):
by many as an anti Muslim rally. Dearborn has a
large Muslim community, and a few dozen protesters were marching
down Michigan Avenue claiming Sharia law was being practiced there.
Things got heated when Florida Republican Jake Lang, who's running
to film Secretary of State Marco Rubio's old Senate seat,
started marching around carrying the Quran and a package of bacon.
(12:55):
A counter protesters stepped in, appearing to punch Lang in
the face. Good lord, So we talked about these elections
across the country where these Muslims were elected. You know,
I brought up at the time we have to tread
carefully on, you know, saying that just being a Muslim
(13:16):
should be shunned, but certainly being a Muslim and trying
to Institute. Sure, real law in the United States should
be shunned. And I'll tell you this because I grew
up in Michigan and I'm familiar with the area. Deerburn's
not the only place that you know has this Muslim population.
Ham Trammick is a city within Detroit. It is totally
(13:40):
surrounded by Detroit. It's a famously Polish city, but not anymore.
Dodge Maine. I always joke, so you know, I work
at Datch Maine. You know, if you listen with a
Polish accent, they worked at Dutch. But anyway, Dodge Maine
was there, and now it's predominantly Muslim and they literally
(14:03):
play the prayer over the loudspeakers in the city three
times a day.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Now, yeah, I mean this has been going on for decades.
And this is why you mentioned her the earlier story.
We were talking about Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking
the lead. He's designating two Muslim groups foreign terrorist organizations
in Texas, and you know, this is where and we're
talking about the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council for American
(14:28):
Islamic Relations, people like Bridget Gabriel. I continue to talk
about her for decades now, because since the nineteen nineties
she has been out here trying to raise awareness about this,
about the notion. And we got some talkbacks on this
that you know, if you're Muslim, it's a tenant to
believe in Sharia law. Now, the issue, and Steve pointed
it out in his talkback, is it's one thing for
(14:51):
you to want to follow Sharia law, but to impose
that on all Americans is an absolute another thing.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And correct.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, And Bridget's point, she she ran down the elections
while we were all paying attention eyes on New York
City and marrileg Mom, Donnie, there was a massive Muslim
political sweep and forty two wins nationwide across our country.
That included Texas and there were eight other states, and
we're talking mayor's, school boards, council seats, even judges.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Well, we need to be aware of what they're doing.
And so, you know, to my point, but Bridget's a Muslim.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Right, she's Lebanese American.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well that's two different things. But anyway, you know, the
fact is, you know, there's a lot of people trying
to assimilate into this country and enjoy, you know, the
fruits of democracy. And Western civilization, and so you know,
we can't lump them all together. But that doesn't mean
(15:52):
that we can't stand up and call out the ones
that are trying to push the tenets of the Qur'an
on us and Sharia law that can't be allowed in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It simply can't.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Well, you ask about Bridget Gabriel. She's a Lebanies American,
she's a conservative activist, she's a lot of things, but
she's a critic of Islamic extremism. That's what she is
out here trying to raise the red flags about.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, I realize that my point being, and it really
doesn't matter. I mean, I don't care one way or
the other what religion she is. But there's Muslims out
there that are, as I said, trying to assimilate into
this country. And you know, it would be unfair to
lump them in all together and just be totally anti Muslim.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Right, I would agree with them.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
And the same thing. I mean, you can say the
same thing. You know, I grew up Catholic, and it
would be like if I'm running for office and they're like,
you got to watch out for those Catholics.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Here comes this Catholic.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I mean, I haven't really practiced Catholicism in a very
long time, and I'm not so sure I was ever
a good Catholic. So you know, you have to be
measured in your approach on these things. But at the
same time, very alarming that there's people in this country
trying to push Sharia law and don't believe that there's
(17:10):
not for a minute.
