This is the Kelly Golden Show podcastpowered by Disaster Plus. On a big
failed Friday and a happy birthday toSouth Carolina. As Attorney General Alan Wilson,
I know that it was last weekor so. We're both celebrating a
birthday not too far off from eachother. Happy belated birthday. I'll say
thank you, Kelly. As mykids say, I turned at the F

(00:22):
word fifty summer, so they sayfifties the new thirty, although I don't
know if I want to go thatfar back. Well, have fun coming
up celebrating that. Celebrating over theweekend, the Silver Elephant Gala, which
is an annual event, happened tosee I just said off air, why
didn't we get a selfie together?But there'll be another time. The event
was unprecedented when it comes to thestate goop. I have no doubt they

(00:45):
probably raised massive dollars. With Trumpspeaking, I thought it was one of
Trump's best speeches. But I wantto get your perspective as the Attorney general
on the Trump indictments. First off, one of the things that I just
came off of earlier this year wasthe Murdle trial, and one of the
best compliments I've ever received was froma number of people who came up to
me and said, you know,we lost faith in the criminal justice system,

(01:08):
and then this Murdole trial and howour office prosecuted it renewed their faith
in the criminal justice system. Thatyou know, the justice was applied equally
and fairly no matter who you were, and no one was above the law,
no one was below the law.And so I was really proud of
that. And then all of asudden to have, you know, all
of these indictments come out the waythat they have been. It's just I

(01:30):
think unraveled a lot of people's viewson how the criminal justice system has applied
to people based on who they are. When you look at these indictments,
and what's really galling about it,Kelly, is that you're seeing a juxtaposition
between how Trump is being treated andthen how Hunter Biden was being treated,
or how Joe Biden is being treated, or how Hillary Clinton was treated.

(01:52):
It's not like there isn't something tocompare it to when they're saying Trump had
boxes with documents in it that heshouldn't have had, but Hillary Clinton had
sir Verse in her house that sheshouldn't have had and a lot about it
and bleached bit the entire server tocover it up. You know, they're
charging Trump with the same thing,and again, if he's guilty of it,
then Hillary would have been guilty ofit. When you talk about the

(02:14):
how the Justice Department has done everythingthey can to hold back on Hunter Biden
and the number of the federal crimeshe's committed, it seems like they're doing
everything they can to pull their puncheswith that, but everything that they can
to hit President Trump as hard asthey can. So many people just see
such a and equity and how thefederal government is approaching these two very different

(02:36):
types of cases, and that isreally unraveling people's faith in the criminal justice
system. Well, another headline thesePFA's that I can't sleep at night now
that I'm hearing we're being poisoned,whether it's our water, our food packaging,
or milk, our furniture, withthese forever chemicals that seem to be
everywhere. Attorney General Wilson, howare we supposed to protect ourselves from this?

(02:59):
Well, first all, I don'twant to alarm people. It's not
like you're you're ingesting, poisonous,going to kill you tomorrow, but it
is it is important to understand whatp fast is. P Fast is a
body of chemicals, a family ofchemicals that was created probably about sixty seventy
years ago by probably late forties,early fifties three M. Du Pont,
where you know, the primary manufacturersare this chemical, and this chemical was

(03:21):
a very helpful chemical. We useit on flame retardant things. Whenever you
put Scotch guard on your couch,Whenever the water that beats up on your
jacket or your clothing, it probablyhas a chemical in the p Fass family
that allows that makes it water resistanceor non stick or grease resistant. So
you know, these have been helpfulchemicals. It's in your taflon, when

(03:42):
you when you're frying something in afrying pan. It's everywhere. So they're
not only forever chemicals, they're everywherechemical. When you get a pizza,
the chemical spray on the cardboard blockbox that prevents the cheese from sticking to
the top, that's got p Fastin it, your foil wrap that comes
around your hamburger. I mean,it's it's in all parts of our life's

(04:03):
everywhere. Also, the byproduct ofthe chemical has been deposited into fertilizers and
used throughout the country, especially herein South Carolina. So it's and our
food supplies, and our water suppliesand our marine life. It's in the
animals that we eat. So it'snot only forever, it's everywhere. And
so one of the things that weare concerned about is that the company that

(04:27):
we're promoting these chemicals knew that thesechemicals have harmful effects. They potentially cancer
causing effects as well as birth effects. We were very concerned that the companies
have known about that per decades yetwithheld that information from the public. And
so Kelly, the way to explain, and the best analogy I can think
of is is that what a thisis how harmful peefast is one eye dropper

(04:51):
and a swimming pool is four partsper trillion. That is the threshold that
the EPA has determined as a awfulamount of pe fasts in our water supply.
One eye dropper in a swimming poolis the threshold. And so we're
very concerned that it could be harmingour citizens. And so we're going after

(05:12):
these companies to hold them accountable andto try to get the money to remediate
and mitigate the harms to our publichealth and our environment and our citizens.
So I have to ask you mentionedbirth defects in children, and I've recently
seen sounder freedom in theaters about childtrafficking, and I have to know South
Carolina's Attorney General, Alan Wilson,what are we doing in South Carolina to

(05:33):
protect children from trafficking? Oh,Kelly, we are doing so many wonderful
things. I'm so proud of themen and women in our Human Trafficking Task
Force. The General Assembly recognize thegood work that we're doing and just increased
the budget in the last budget cycle, and we've hired some new people to
support our ever growing Human Trafficking taskForce. In the last ten years,

(05:54):
we've gone grown from fifteen people inthe task force to eight hundred. We
have ten regional tasks Force. Inow have a full staff that's out there
working with local law enforcement, localprosecutors, judges, healthcare providers, educators,
people from all walks of life toeducate the public. But not only
educate the public, but to prosecuteand incarceraate these horrible people who are really

(06:15):
doing some evil things. For thosepeople who haven't seen the sounds of Freedom,
and I confess I am one ofthem. I've been too busy.
I intend to see it, butI've heard nothing but good things, rave
reviews from people who have seen thismovie because it's raising the profile of what
is actually happening around us. Yeah, it's highly disturbing. I can promise
you it is something everyone absolutely shouldsee. And I did put all the

(06:39):
local movie times up. And Ihave to do is google Kelly Golden blog
and that includes Trump's speech from Saturdaynight. Agie Wilson, thanks so much
for your time. We appreciate youknow you're welcome back. Thank you,
Kelly, and we'll get that Stelfienext time I see this Big Failed Friday
