Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Place. Now
the top three things you should know.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The curtain rises on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago today.
President Joe Biden is expected to make his case for
Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him when he speaks
to delegates and a nationwide television audience tonight. Day one
of the convention will include a series of tributes to
Biden and what Democratic officials are calling a passing of

(00:28):
the Torch moment, with Harris joining him on stage. More
than half of the biggest companies in America see artificial
intelligence as a possible risk to their business. That's according
to a new survey from a Rise AI, a research
company that tracks public disclosures from businesses. About fifty six

(00:49):
percent cited AI as a potential risk, up from just
nine percent in twenty twenty two. About one in three
companies saw AI as an emergent opportunity. Gen Z is
blaming social media for mental health issues that they've been experiencing.

(01:09):
That's according to a Talker Research survey of two thousand
gen Z social media users. They say TikTok and Instagram
are the main culprits, followed by Facebook. Those who were
surveyed spend between five and six hours on social media
each day. Just under half said local media prompts or

(01:30):
social media rather prompts negative emotions, which can happen just
over half an hour after signing on. The survey was
commissioned by Alge Electronics, which set in a statement that
they encourage everyone to be more conscious about the social
media content that they choose to engage with. How about
not doing it for five or six hours a day.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Well, let's be clear on the generation we're talking around,
so gen Z. Gen Z's the I generation, the Internet generation.
They grew up spending more time with devices in their
face than they did reading books.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But we're not talking about is being on a computer
or being on a phone. We're talking about spending five
to six hours a day on social media.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
That's how you consume social media with you know, devices,
whether it's on a phone or on a computer. And
this is I get what you're saying. I mean, this
affects everything with them, their attention span, their vocabulary, their relationships,
their academic performance, I mean, their future economic contributions. It
goes into every aspect of their lives. But what's missing

(02:32):
here them your personal choice not.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
To out believe that.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well yeah, but yes, actual real reality looking up from
a device in their phones and having you know I,
face to face contact. But that's not how they grew up.
They grew up with you know, the Internet in their lives.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
But what I'm saying is this isn't that they're spending
five to six hours a day on a computer or
on their phone. They're spending five to six hours a
day on social media.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but this is
how they're doing it as opposed to socializing with human
beings in person and public. And you know, they're in
private by themselves consuming social media, or maybe they're together
and they're not wonder issues what's that?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
And then they wonder why they have mental issues?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Right exactly? Well, just put in perspective, you know gen
Z mid to late nineties. Yeah, this is when they
were born, early two thousands. They're growing up in a
world after September eleventh. I mean, yeah, there's they're the
stressed and depressed generation. I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
Don't we all feel stressed? In depressed sometimes it's how

(03:44):
we choose to handle it. It's how we take personal
responsibility on choosing to handle our stress in being depressed.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
But I you know, I still think you can't, you know,
blame that they grew up with computers. I mean, look,
we spend I won't speak for you. I spend probably
eight to twelve hours a day on a computer. Yeah,
not on social rounded bike, but not on social media
for half of that time.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, again, this is a generation that grew up in
a different way with us. We gen Z, and you
might be on the right on the edge of that.
I'm sorry, gen X, you might be right on the
edge of that. But I mean gen X grew up
outside pedaling around on our bikes with our friends. You
know that probably sounds like torture to gen Z. You know,

(04:33):
do you know how to ride a bike? Oh? I'm
just kidding.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
But these aren't little kids, and we're not talking about,
you know, playtime outside.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
We're talking about how they grow up, which makes you
in a bull It affects you as a child, how
you grew up the way that you are as an adult.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, we're talking about young adults. And so the next
question I would ask is who the hell has five
to six hours? Do you spend five to six hours
every day with your friends like bs?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
And that's how they do it?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Time for that.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
See, that's how they do it on social media.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tell how can they have even five to six hours
a day to spare to do that?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think that probably while they're at work, while they're
in their car, while you know, while they're living life.
How they're living it through social media with their friends.
But I mean, you know what those things all go
by algorithm. So if you're upset about social media, well
it's because it's what you're choosing to press on and

(05:31):
click on and you know, communicate with if you will.
This is our way of communicating. I mean, this is
this is on you boo. You know, take some personal responsibility.
That's literally what's missing in all of this. As far
as I can see.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
News and the most in depth election coverage, this is
Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four
to three WSC.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Strap in for the spin machine this week, Grab your
anti nausea pills with the Democrat National Convention in their
curtain curtains going up today and the barricades in the
walls and oh, by the way, they're being protected by police. Huh.
I guess so we're embracing the police now and walls exactly.

(06:23):
O wow, and we're already seeing them eat their own may.
We've got a clash of protesters outside. Andrew just called
it and he said, Kelly, did you see where they
were storming the stage? He's like, how's the media has
to go through forty five minutes of security check? Yet
somehow they have people storming a stage already. I didn't
see that, So I don't know well.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
And they're also demanding that they show ID to attend
any of these events. You don't have to show an
ID to vote, but you have to show an ID
to go see a Democratic speaker who is against showing
IDs to vote.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
This is where we keep saying, make it make sense,
Like where's the common sense? Like is this all just
foreign anymore? It just doesn't. It doesn't sit it's not
sitting well or right with a lot of people who
think goodness are finally leaning in. I hope we should
pray more people between now an election day come November
not only understand what communism and socialism is and learning

(07:23):
their history, but also that the people can say all
day long what they want, But how are you feeling
in the last three and a half years. How many
people have you met that are like, man, this is
the greatest This has been the greatest three and a
half years of my life.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, and I think that they have to explain it
better than to just call it socialism or communism. Explain
why it doesn't work and how it doesn't work, and
what that is going to mean to the common voter.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I mean, you could make it pretty simple. Either you
have freedom of choice or the government tells you what
your choices are. That's pretty much it.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Well, I mean, you know, like even with the price fixing, Okay,
that's socialism, that's communism. Okay, So how is it harmful?
It's harmful because it prevents competition. It prevents the free
flow of ideas and competing products in a free market,
because when the prices are capped, that artificially influences the

(08:26):
supply and demand chain in a free market. If the
prices go up, then more people want a piece of
that pie. They introduce competing products. Those competing products have
to not only compete on value, but also on quality,
So the quality of the products goes up, the price
tends to go down over time as the market corrects

(08:50):
itself and reacts to what's happening. Now, if you just
say we're going to cap that and we're only going
to allow you to make so much, that kind of
throw that whole process out the window and you just
have the government saying how much you're going to spend.
And if you want to see how that works in
the real world, look to Cuba.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, Venezuela, look too. This is very confusing to me
because these are people who, if you're embracing communism, you
grew up in a capitalistic society where the lifeblood of
our economy and why you've had it so great is
because of mom and pop's and independent business owners. So,
I mean, I just I'm so confused sometimes by the

(09:32):
idea that people don't understand.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, or you can throw price controls on it, and
then when you need a new refrigerator you can get
on the list and wait five years.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Same with your healthcare.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, yeah a.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Vision twenty twenty four, Kelly and Blaize are ringside for
the main event. This is Charleston's Morning News on ninety
four to three WSC.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I said, grab your armor. It's a simple way of saying,
be prepared. It's going to start today with the DNC
in their convention kicking off in Chicago, with nauseating passing
of the torch tributes to Joe Biden and what a
great president he's been. I mean, we're going to hear
feelings being peddled over facts. We're gonna, frankly hear lies

(10:14):
being spread over reality.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
He's such a great president. They threw him under the
bus and replaced him with Kamala.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, Matt's confused. I appreciate you hanging on here this
morning on how is it that Democrats can say that
he's such a great president.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
It's kind of confusing to me that the Democrats are
either a scared to admit that Joe Biden was a failure,
or be that they've convinced themselves of the lie that
Joe Biden is the greatest president, which can be obviously
to me is conflicting, because you know, if we wanted
to look back at past Republican presidents, we could objectively
look and say, hey, maybe this piece of legilation they

(10:49):
passed wasn't that great. They weren't the greatest president ever.
But they were a good president. Why the Democrats can't
do that? I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
I get the confusion. I mean, young people are stupid,
Kamala says, yet vote for me. Oh my gosh, the
gopie is a threat to democracy. Yet literally you just
installed your Canada that no one voted for.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, it's partisanship, and one side seems to be more
partisan than the other, and they'll vote for their candidate
no matter what, and they'll do backflips of excuses, and
you know, they just seem to be and I try
to be fair and I try not to be too
insulting most of the time, but really they don't well

(11:35):
they don't think this true enough. They're not critical thinkers.
They're sheep and so they'll vote whatever way they're told.
And they think that they're being critical thinkers while they're
doing it. And in a lot of cases, when you
hear them explain their positions and why they support those positions,

(11:56):
it sounds absolutely absurd.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, crazy, actually unhinged. I mean they'll fight amongst I
noticed with protesters at the very least on the outside
of things, they're fighting amongst themselves with this whole pro
Palestinian drama. And I mean, it's just I don't know,
It's like they're they don't know, they don't know exactly
all the ways that they should be mad. They're just angry.

(12:21):
It's like against your own party, which are also going
to be voting for. The confusion, the hypocrisy, the gas lighting.
It's the Republican Party or the kool aid drinkers. Really,
maybe you ought to attend a rally, an event, a
party meeting of the Republican Party because it's the They
open you with welcome arms. If you don't agree, and

(12:43):
you're you're curious because you know they have no problems
in the Republican Party fighting with each other about things.
They're okay with it. It's welcome.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Well, maybe you should go back and just see where
Kamala Harris stood on all of the issues up until
a few weeks ago, right when the Democrats initiated their
coup against the primary vote winner, Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Well, we had to keep reminding people, you know, when
she ran against Joe Biden, you know, way back when
was it twenty twenty? I guess at this point that
she was last dead last in the Democrat primary when
it came to Canadas and again through her vice presidency.
Look at all the pollings, she was the least liked

(13:33):
vice president in history. I don't know. Maybe at this
point at LISTA in our living history, nobody liked her.
And now all of a sudden, it's her time to shine.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Traffic and weather every ten minutes. This is Charleston This
Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four to
three WSC.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Today is International bow Tie Day. The bow tie can
be traced back to Croatia in the seventeenth century, Croatian
mercenaries tying scarves over their necks to keep the opening
of their shirts together. During the Prussian Wars, the French
upper class quickly adopted the habit, and it's popularity sword
throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century thanks to France's role

(14:18):
as a fashion pioneer. Over time, the trend evolved into
bow ties and neckties that we know today.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Dapper, I love a bow tie, not me, really, Yeah,
I it's true. I've never seen you in a bow tie.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, because I would not wear one unless I'm wearing
a tick seedar okay.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Otherwise it's still a long tie. What's going on there?
You're like anti bowtie. You don't like tying them, they're
hard to tie, don't.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Like well, I look, so you're forcing me to say
I am something that I really don't want to.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Oh, no, I'm not. I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
No, I don't like bow ties. And I can't take
anybody serious that's wearing a bow tie. It's like, grow
up and wear a big boy long tie.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh my gosh. Bow ties are dapper, they're dignifying. You're
intimating their douchey and they're not.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You are intimating that for me.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
People who wear bow ties.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I just said tongue in cheek that I can't take
anybody wearing a bow tie seriously terrib and it reminds
me of like a you know, like a five year
old dressed up for Christmas in the short pants suit
with the bow tie.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
You need to send your hatemail to him, not me.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
And grow up and wear a big boy long tie. Hey,
I'm just having a little fun.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I want you to wear a one time and see
how people treat me.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
I will not the only time I will ever wear
a bow tie is when I'm wearing a took cedar,
which is not very often.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh, here we go. You're gonna upset the bow tie.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Hey, if you're comfortable with it and you want to
express your individuality, sure, go ahead and throw on a
bow tie today and celebrate International bow Tie Day.
