Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelley and Blaze. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Pakistani man living in Texas has been indicted on charges
that he was trying to orchestrate in elaborate murder for
higher plot that was targeting several politicians, including former President Trump.
The Justice Department says asif merchant, who has ties to Iran,
had started to recruit who he thought would be hit men,
(00:27):
they turned out to be undercover federal agents. If convicted,
he faces life in prison. Boeing factory workers could end
up walking off the job if they don't approve the
latest contract proposal. Some thirty three thousand workers will vote
today on the deal, and if they reject it, they
could strike as early as tomorrow. Earlier this week, the
(00:48):
aviation Giant and the union agreed on a contract that
includes a twenty five percent pay raise over four years.
Machinist union leader John Holden told The Seattle Times he
expects Rank file members will reject the deal and vote
to strike. A six year old Florida girl has a
memory police hope will last a lifetime. Longwood police posted
(01:11):
on Facebook this week about an encounter they had with
a little girl selling lemonade. The Longwood Police Department says
someone called them to report the girl was running an
illegal lemonade stand and tying up traffic. Instead of shutting
her down, though officers bought some of her lemonade and
took photos with her. Police say it was a chance
(01:32):
to show what community policing is all about. You have
to wonder who the Karen was that called and reported
the little girl the police.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Of all the things that we have in this world
to be worried about to call law enforcement about, it's
not the little girl with the lemonade, said Karen. God,
it's unbelievable to me where we are in our country.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Four.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I mean, really, what's next? We're gonna throw a what
is it, a an I nine or whatever at her?
Make sure she pays her taxes. This is just too much.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, sick the irs on her.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, thank goodness, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Work with the police. Next calls to the I R S.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, how many how many new agents do we have
to hire? We got to put them to work for
some for something.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Eighty seven thousand, I think it will.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, let's make sure and go call one of the
I R S gestapo on her, send them down the shaker,
turn her upside down, and shake her pockets. It's ridiculous.
Oh gosh, so too ridiculous. I didn't win the lottery.
I guess somebody in Texas did. Shoot man that was
(02:46):
like a four one hundred million dollar payout. I always
laugh at these lotteries, though, I mean, because I'm just
as oh gosh, I don't know, I'm just as silly
as the rest. I'm not attempting to call you silly
out there this morning, and I'll just focus on myself
where I wait until it's eight hundred million dollars plus
and then I'm like, yeah, I gotta go buy a
lottery ticket as if like twenty million, isn't it enough that.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it's like, oh, I'll take twenty million now that
it's eight hundred million, that's worth two bucks.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I know, I know, it's like okay, but yeah, no lottery.
I guess lottery ticket winners in Texas. It says that
I was looking to see where in Texas, but I
don't know. I also don't know if Texas is one
of the states where you don't have to say who
you are to claim your price. Now we in South Carolina,
so everybody knows you don't have to give up who
(03:38):
you are when you go and claim your cash, which
is great. And not all states though, are that way.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well in those states you go start an LLC or
I don't know what the legal road would be. You'd
have to ask an attorney. But there's ways to still
hide your.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Identity, hide your identity from uh. Can you imagine that's
like a blessing and a curse. All of a sudden,
four hundred million plus dollars gets dropped on your bank account.
You know who'd come knock in? Probably a bunch of
politicians may be running for office. So the debate about
the debate coming up, plus Joe Biden tawns a maga hat. Well,
(04:18):
maybe it turns out it's true what Donald Trump said
during the debate that Joe Biden doesn't like Kamala and
maybe it doesn't like being thrown under the bus by
his own party.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Traffic and weather every ten minutes, This is Charleston's Morning
News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four to three WUSC.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh boy, welcome in all right, so lines are loaded.
We've got a shim krieg Steve. He says, I'm still
clutching my pearls and on my fainting couch here this
morning over the debate. So in Trump's performance. So we'll
talk more about that just ahead here on ninety five
three WSC debating the debate. It continues, so many people
(05:04):
talking about it, him taking debait her being you know,
so polished and quote unquote presidential.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So presidential like Joe Biden, a complete.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Liar truth truth on that one Joe Biden, was he
wearing his maga hat in that reference you just made
in your head, Joe Biden putting on a Maga hat.
This actually happened, so it's not a joke. So here
we are talking about the debate when you know, kamala
Is is jumping out here sounding more maga than Trump
in some instances on the campaign trail heading into the
(05:38):
debate with our flipping and flopping, and we can, you know,
get into whether he nailed her on some of the
things he should have or not. Just ahead, but yeah, Biden,
what in the world's going on over there? He's rambling around,
what state was he in and throws a Maga hat
on after Trump says that during the debate, leans into
the mic in one of his infamous moments that you
(06:00):
know he doesn't like her, he detests her, meaning Biden
to Kamala.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, I mean I think they're you know, making a
whole lot out of nothing over the story. Biden was
in Pennsylvania visiting a fire department. I believe, Scriton Joe.
He gave somebody a Biden hat, or rather a Harris hat,
and they gave him a Maga hat and then somebody
(06:26):
yelled put it on. Put it on. He's like, oh,
I'm not going to go that far, and they're like,
put it on, and the chance started to put it on,
so he put it on for a quick second and
laughed about it. I do not like the man or
respect the man at all, but I mean he was
just having some fun with the people he was visiting
at the fire department.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
He was just being all Scranton Joe. Oh Man, Well,
that was an epic micdrop moment, if you asked me.
He had many Trump did during the debate, and one
of them was when he said, basically they threw their
candidate out, you know, to pastor and installed you kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Thing, and then they kicked him out like a dog.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, and then basically said, and by the way, many
people don't talk about it, but he can't stand her man.
It was like.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Whoa kicked him out like a dog that the Haitians
had for dinner.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Oh, breaking news, So the most in dept election coverage.
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays on
ninety four to three WUSC.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yes, post debate, still debating the debate and who did better?
Who walked away with more wins? You know, checking the
winds and the columns there on winds and fails. Certainly
some wins in her sales with regards to Kamala Harris
and her delivery where people thought they'd tune into, you know,
scattercat word salad, laughing cackles. We didn't get that. Definitely
(07:55):
a more polished delivery. But my goodness, how long was
she bait prepping with someone dressed like Trump standing in it?
I still can't I picture that in my head of
her her debate prep and the you know, one of
her staffers dressed up like Trump. Were they wearing like
a wig with his hair or a maga hat like
Joe Biden and Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Well, once I said earlier, maybe it was Joy Reid
with her Trump haircut.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh my god, is so triggering to someone like Joy Reid.
She has just gone on the internet and gone off,
hasn't she in the wildest and wackiest of ways. Oh man,
Speaking of wild and wacky. So one of our frequent flyers,
Shim Creek Steve called an all dejected post debate yesterday,
(08:38):
and I just got to check in and make sure
you're Are you okay? If Donald Trump were to be
re elected, I will sign a national abortion band.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
It's a lie. I'm not signing a band, and there's
no reason to sign a band.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Sorry about that, Steve. And if he do, but he did,
by the way, that's one of the things he didn't
get credit for pushing back on mistaking Sorry Steve, you there.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You okay, my pearls and lying on the fainting couch,
because I think Trump blew it spectacularly and right in
front of us all. Now he's went into the lines.
Then he had to have known it was a hostile environment,
and he allowed Kamala Harris to bait him repeatedly, and
of course she did it with the approval of the moderators.
(09:21):
But that one instance that you were already talking about
bringing up the crowd size and at Trump rallies, that
was deliberately intended to sting his vanity and he fell
for it. He did it, and he did it in
a bunch of times too. But that's a good example
of how this worked. He couldn't help himself. I mean,
(09:42):
he could have just let that pass because it's so
so ridiculous his crowds. She wishes she had his crowds
and she doesn't, and why not just let that pass
with a chuckle? Why not? But no, but this is
how they kept him off balance and distracted the whole time.
And it worked. It worked right in front of us.
(10:04):
We saw it work.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I was arguing with Steve off Air. You know, Steve's
affront and a long time listener, and I mostly agree
with him, but I think he's the one buying end
to this. So by his own words, Steve just said
Kamala was being ridiculous by saying by pointing out that
you know, his crowds are sleepy and sparse and they
(10:31):
leave early. And why does the media in why in
the aftermath of the debate is the narrative that Trump
blew it by responding, why isn't it that Kamala brought
up a ridiculous point in the first place?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's complete lies. I've been covered many debates, I mean
many rallies all over the country. None of that is true.
And I mean, anybody who pays half a look of
attention to his rallies knows this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So she brings up a ridiculous point, and he says
no and takes the opportunity to point out that she
was caught busting and paying people to attend her rallies,
and the narrative becomes that Trump took the bait and
lost the.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Debate right having problems containing as cool And so I've.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Been thinking about this and I'm like, now that's pretty
one sided in my opic. Isn't it to say that
Trump took the bait, that she can get up there
and just lie and spew nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And not be checked on it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And because he responded to it, that he failed, Now
he lost.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
He didn't fail, and he didn't lose. And we have
to recognize the moderators were a mess. I said it yesterday.
They didn't call her out a single time live fact
checking him over and over again, twenty one lies. At
the very least, I stopped writing them down. Watching that debate,
it was unnerving for me just watching it. Many people
are shaking their heads yes right now agreement, and my goodness,
(12:01):
imagine what it was like for him. And then lop
on the fact of all the years of everything that
this man is having to stand face to face in
toe to toe with with political law, fair going after
his family, his personal finances, everything, taking a shot to
the head. I mean, the man did I still beat
(12:23):
her despite all of everything, as far as I'm concerned
in her corner, on him being in office for four
years and her being in an administration and in this
office for four years. You can take it back to
the basics. How's your life been over the last four years?
Was it better under Trump? Or is it better now?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, I'll go back to ex lowered expectations. So everybody
expected a cackling words salid idiot on the stage, and
that's not what they got. And they were taken aback.
And all of a sudden, they think she won because
she was polished and good looking and didn't cackle and
and could put sentences together and in their world, that's
(13:04):
a success for Kamala because her expectations were so low.
Kate called in and said Trump needed to take the
gloves off. That's the point I made right after. I
was disappointed in Trump's performance, not because I thought he
took the bait, not because I thought that, you know,
Troy was Trump being Trump. But I was ready and
(13:25):
I was waiting for it to happen, and it never happened.
I'm like, take the gloves off, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
But he warned over Obregon not to do that because
she would play the victim card. He over and over
we talked about this, told see all these other people saying,
you know, don't don't, don't take the bait of you know,
going after her, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And how did that work out?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well, well, I hear you. But on the other hand,
I don't think there's anything whether he trounced on her
or he played kitten. I don't think either way, he
was going to come out in many ways the victor
on this one in some eye, because there wasn't anything
that he was going to do where you know, he
was going to be the winner. I mean, some people
just whatever that don't like Trump, it is what it is.
(14:08):
On the other hand, I think that at the end
of the day, it was unsatisfying for people, right they
didn't There are many voters who were saying, we didn't
get what we needed on this one. And I'll tell
you to your point about Kamala polished pretty who cares?
What in the world are you going to do to
fix what you've broken over the last four years? We
(14:29):
got none of that. We got no substance from her whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, it matters a lot because it's the media, So
who cares? I mean, there's it has an influence, and
it has so much of an influence. In the first
televised presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Milhouse Nixon,
the people that listened on the radio thought that Nixon
won the debate. The people that watched on TV thought
(14:56):
that Kennedy won the debate. Why because Richard Nixon had
five o'clock shadow and he was up there sweating, and
Kennedy looked young and tan and cool, and so the
people that saw that image on TV thought that Kennedy won.
The people that listened to the details of the debate
without having the visual thought that Richard Nixon won, So
(15:18):
it does matter.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, at the end of the day, he's not changing
his looks, Blaze, He's still running against the gal who's
going to look pretty and sound polished from here on out.
So that scares me, and I know it scares a
lot of other people. So I understand your point. At
the end of the day, all we can do is
focus on the facts. And we didn't get a whole
lot of them, especially from her camp. With regards to
(15:41):
how you're going to change our lives for the future.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I mean, no, we got a bunch of lies. And
I'll point one more thing out too. Go back and
look at the footage and look at the size of
the podiums, and watch her walk up and try to
shake his hand, and look how tall she is. He
literally hours over.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Her, like sixty three or so.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, I mean, and I didn't realize how small she was.
And not that that matters, but a hip podium, say
no again, it goes, you know, to the image. So
when she's standing next to him, I mean, he she
comes up to like barely his mid chest. And when
you look at the and then they have a long
shot where they look like they're about the same size.
(16:23):
But when you look at the size of the podiums,
her podium is much smaller, so that on TV it
looks like that, you know, they're about equal size, and
it puts them on an equal grounding. So that's how
much image matters. Is that that was I'm sure negotiated
in there that Kamala got a shorter podium so that
(16:45):
it didn't look like Trump was so imposing in his
size over her.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Especially made podium just for.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Come well, So that's how much image matters.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Thanks for listening to The Charleston Morning Use Catch Kelly
and Blaze weekday mornings from six to nine
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelley and Blaze. Now
the top three things you should know.
Speaker 2 (00:07):

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Four.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I mean, really, what's next? We're gonna throw a what
is it, a an I nine or whatever at her?
Make sure she pays her taxes. This is just too much.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, sick the irs on her.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, thank goodness, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Work with the police. Next calls to the I R S.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, how many how many new agents do we have
to hire? We got to put them to work for
some for something.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Eighty seven thousand, I think it will.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, let's make sure and go call one of the
I R S gestapo on her, send them down the shaker,
turn her upside down, and shake her pockets. It's ridiculous.
Oh gosh, so too ridiculous. I didn't win the lottery.
I guess somebody in Texas did. Shoot man that was
(02:46):
like a four one hundred million dollar payout. I always
laugh at these lotteries, though, I mean, because I'm just
as oh gosh, I don't know, I'm just as silly
as the rest. I'm not attempting to call you silly
out there this morning, and I'll just focus on myself

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, it's like, oh, I'll take twenty million now that
it's eight hundred million, that's worth two bucks.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I know, I know, it's like okay, but yeah, no lottery.
I guess lottery ticket winners in Texas. It says that
I was looking to see where in Texas, but I
don't know. I also don't know if Texas is one

four hundred million plus dollars gets dropped on your bank account.
You know who'd come knock in? Probably a bunch of

the debate coming up, plus Joe Biden tawns a maga hat. Well,

We saw it work.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I was arguing with Steve off Air. You know, Steve's
affront and a long time listener, and I mostly agree
with him, but I think he's the one buying end
to this. So by his own words, Steve just said
Kamala was being ridiculous by saying by pointing out that
you know, his crowds are sleepy and sparse and they
(10:31):
leave early. And why does the media in why in
the aftermath of the debate is the narrative that Trump
blew it by responding, why isn't it that Kamala brought
up a ridiculous point in the first place?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's complete lies. I've been covered many debates, I mean
many rallies all over the country. None of that is true.
And I mean, anybody who pays half a look of
attention to his rallies knows this.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So she brings up a ridiculous point, and he says
no and takes the opportunity to point out that she
was caught busting and paying people to attend her rallies,
and the narrative becomes that Trump took the bait and
lost the.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Debate right having problems containing as cool And so I've.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Been thinking about this and I'm like, now that's pretty
one sided in my opic. Isn't it to say that
Trump took the bait, that she can get up there
and just lie and spew nonsense.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And not be checked on it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And because he responded to it, that he failed, Now
he lost.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
He didn't fail, and he didn't lose. And we have
to recognize the moderators were a mess. I said it yesterday.
They didn't call her out a single time live fact
checking him over and over again, twenty one lies. At
the very least, I stopped writing them down. Watching that debate,
it was unnerving for me just watching it. Many people
are shaking their heads yes right now agreement, and my goodness,
(12:01):
imagine what it was like for him. And then lop
on the fact of all the years of everything that
this man is having to stand face to face in
toe to toe with with political law, fair going after
his family, his personal finances, everything, taking a shot to
the head. I mean, the man did I still beat
(12:23):
her despite all of everything, as far as I'm concerned
in her corner, on him being in office for four
years and her being in an administration and in this
office for four years. You can take it back to
the basics. How's your life been over the last four years?
Was it better under Trump? Or is it better now?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, I'll go back to ex lowered expectations. So everybody
expected a cackling words salid idiot on the stage, and
that's not what they got. And they were taken aback.
And all of a sudden, they think she won because
she was polished and good looking and didn't cackle and
and could put sentences together and in their world, that's
(13:04):
a success for Kamala because her expectations were so low.
Kate called in and said Trump needed to take the
gloves off. That's the point I made right after. I
was disappointed in Trump's performance, not because I thought he
took the bait, not because I thought that, you know,
Troy was Trump being Trump. But I was ready and
(13:25):
I was waiting for it to happen, and it never happened.
I'm like, take the gloves off, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
But he warned over Obregon not to do that because
she would play the victim card. He over and over
we talked about this, told see all these other people saying,
you know, don't don't, don't take the bait of you know,
going after her, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And how did that work out?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well, well, I hear you. But on the other hand,
I don't think there's anything whether he trounced on her
or he played kitten. I don't think either way, he
was going to come out in many ways the victor
on this one in some eye, because there wasn't anything
that he was going to do where you know, he
was going to be the winner. I mean, some people
just whatever that don't like Trump, it is what it is.
(14:08):
On the other hand, I think that at the end
of the day, it was unsatisfying for people, right they
didn't There are many voters who were saying, we didn't
get what we needed on this one. And I'll tell
you to your point about Kamala polished pretty who cares?
What in the world are you going to do to
fix what you've broken over the last four years? We
(14:29):
got none of that. We got no substance from her whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, it matters a lot because it's the media, So
who cares? I mean, there's it has an influence, and
it has so much of an influence. In the first
televised presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Milhouse Nixon,
the people that listened on the radio thought that Nixon
won the debate. The people that watched on TV thought
(14:56):
that Kennedy won the debate. Why because Richard Nixon had
five o'clock shadow and he was up there sweating, and
Kennedy looked young and tan and cool, and so the
people that saw that image on TV thought that Kennedy won.
The people that listened to the details of the debate
without having the visual thought that Richard Nixon won, So
(15:18):
it does matter.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, at the end of the day, he's not changing
his looks, Blaze, He's still running against the gal who's
going to look pretty and sound polished from here on out.
So that scares me, and I know it scares a
lot of other people. So I understand your point. At
the end of the day, all we can do is
focus on the facts. And we didn't get a whole
lot of them, especially from her camp. With regards to
(15:41):
how you're going to change our lives for the future.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I mean, no, we got a bunch of lies. And
I'll point one more thing out too. Go back and
look at the footage and look at the size of
the podiums, and watch her walk up and try to
shake his hand, and look how tall she is. He
literally hours over.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Her, like sixty three or so.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, I mean, and I didn't realize how small she was.
And not that that matters, but a hip podium, say
no again, it goes, you know, to the image. So
when she's standing next to him, I mean, he she
comes up to like barely his mid chest. And when
you look at the and then they have a long
shot where they look like they're about the same size.
(16:23):
But when you look at the size of the podiums,
her podium is much smaller, so that on TV it
looks like that, you know, they're about equal size, and
it puts them on an equal grounding. So that's how
much image matters. Is that that was I'm sure negotiated
in there that Kamala got a shorter podium so that
(16:45):
it didn't look like Trump was so imposing in his
size over her.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Especially made podium just for.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Come well, So that's how much image matters.
