Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, traffic and weather every ten minutes. This is Charleston's
Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on ninety four to
three WSC Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Who if you missed it, just called our HHS secretary
Ice Barbie.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Well, I didn't make that up.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'd s the first I ever heard that. I guess
I'm today years old.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oh man. They no, They've been calling her Ice Barbie
for a while now because she always has these different outfits.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
On, and he's hot and smart and in charge.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And she dresses for the occasion.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'd rather make her an action figure than a Barbie.
But all right, I guess she's kind of a Barbie's
kind of an action figure.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I didn't make it up. That's just the nickname that they've.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That's a hashtag. I can look up Ice Barbie.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, look up Ice Barbie. So federal authorities are looking
into a theft involving Ice Barbie Homeland Security Secretary Christinome.
It happened while Noame was out to dinner with her
family on Sunday in Northwest Washington, DC. A suspect wearing
an N ninety five mask allegedly sat next to nomes
table and managed to slide her purse away with his
(01:06):
foot before walking out of the restaurant. Among the items
reportedly in the purse were several thousand dollars in cash, nomes,
DHS ID and access card, her credit cards, and her
passport and driver's license. The DC Police Department was not
initially notified about the theft, and reports indicate the Secret
Services handling the investigation.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Now, well, now you're there handling the investigation. You know,
it's interesting the way this has been pedaled in the press.
It was like a masked gunman came in and ripped
her purse away from her, I mean, the way that
they are describing it. So I'm glad that we're providing details.
First of all, who in the world you should not
be putting your purse on the ground, on the floor ever.
That's kind of an old That might be an old
(01:48):
Southern thing. I don't know, but it's one of those
things where if you put your purse on the floor,
you know, it's something about riches and you don't you know,
you just don't do that. Hang your purse or put
it somewhere near you.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah, I mean off the floor. I don't know. Well,
I didn't carry it purse, so I have the proper
etiquette of you know, where we have the hooks.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Under the bar. That's why they've got like so you
should first of all, so she should have had a
purse on the floor. I'm sorry, that's here and o'r
there the whole N ninety five masks versus what I
pictured when I first started hearing reports of the story yesterday.
I pictured some you know, bank robber, black ski mask,
and all I can think is, where is the Secret Service?
They were too far away?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well probably, but now it's normal to see people in
masks in society.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, so now I'm thinking differently about this.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So it doesn't raise suspicions.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, I wouldn't have raised suspicion for me to have
someone sitting next to me in a mask. Sadly, but
here we.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Are, and it's not clear that the thief knew who
he was dealing with. What more I know? And now
he has the Secret Service on his butt.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You better turn himself in.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I mean, I can imagine it would be that hard
to catch them.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, can we talk about how much cash was in
our purse?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Three grand?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Was it three or five? Okay, let's go let let's
go saying three okay, is that like a baller move
to carry around three grand? I mean, I feel like
that's a little much. I realized your Homeland Security secretary
and you got you know, people around you, But clearly
you're still a target, no matter if you're just an
(03:26):
average Joe or Jane or not.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, I mean, I don't you'd have to ask her.
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I mean. The average amount of cash you carry around
it it's not three grand.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't have three grand.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Even if you did, if you were out there, you
have three thousand dollars a carry around and cas like,
what's the average amount of cash some one out to
be carrying around? To me, that's a lot. It's uh,
I'm making a bank deposit. A lot.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, it is a lot. But you know, I
don't know. I used to carry a lot of cash
at one point in my life.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Five indred bucks more than that, okay, but a grand
not anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, you don't have bid Yeah exactly, I don't have it.
So I don't know what the appropriate amount is. I
mean I always felt, you know, is she going to
buy having a lot of money? And then you can
no matter what happens, you're prepared.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
See three thousand dollars. That would make me feel uncomfortable,
like I would be on edge every second. I certainly
won't be putting my purse on the floor.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, inflation and all three grand's not what it used
to be.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't need. It's so sad, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And you would think that I don't know. But she
was out with her family and you know, they're going
to a nice dinner. And I don't know how much
really nice dinner this restaurant cost. You could be over
a grand right there to feed your family.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You know what, do we have the name of the restaurant?
I'm gonna look up their menu, Like, what are y'all doing?
Three grand? Yeah, I'd like to see what the She's like,
it's on me.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
The price is are there? Yeah? Yeah? Ice Barbie's like,
I got this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't like Ice Barbie. I don't like that for
her US headlines and the Talk you Need.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on
ninety four to three WUSC.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The Talk you need. There's always pressure there, Michael Blaze.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yes, Nancy Mayce, you know what I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It makes me laugh, But congresswoman of the first Congressional District.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Of course, was you know, out shopping over the weekend
when a constituent approached her and asked her if she
was going to have any town halls. That set Nancy
Mace off. She's playing the victim. She was on Hannity
last night saying, you know, as a survivor, you know
there's either fight or flight, and she's a fighter. So
(05:53):
she says that this guy invaded her space. If you
look at the video, he really didn't. I thought she
was inappropriate in this. I don't know what you think.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
One. I think it's funny, she calls it. He's been
dubbed Daisy Duke. Shorts are so short.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Listen the f us. I feel like we're a tad juvenile.
I mean off air, and I'm gonna say those are
keywords off air. I can throw some sailor cuss words around,
but I you know, I haven't been attacked publicly like
she has. I mean, she's been, like you said, open
about it. She's been attacked physically, mentally, emotionally, and she's
putting it all out there into some She overplays the
(06:33):
victim card into others. She's strapped on the proper armor
and is marching forward in strength. I mean, look through
the comments of each of her posts on her videos.
There are a lot of people and I notice a
lot of women who are like keep standing up and
being strong because there's you know, she's a mother, She's
got that mama bear thing going. Yeah, you know she's
(06:55):
a woman. You can say she's you know, I know.
Again there's a teetering between the victor card. That's you know, overplayed,
you know, some feel and then others. But again I
thought the FEUs were a little too much there. The
response there didn't have to be so escalated. It felt
like on her part it was escalator.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It was escalated on her part. And if you watch
the video, the guy says, are you going to have
any other town halls? I had twelve last year and
you had the opportunity to go to them. She like,
right off the bat, copped in attitude, you know, her demeanor.
If it was me on the other end of that conversation,
if you want to call it that, I mean, it
would have raised my ire automatically just her response would
(07:36):
have yeah, but provoked me.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
She's a human being, though, and you have been over
and over again.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't care, you know what.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But well, I mean I'm not she's again human to
air as human not saying she handled it the best
way possible, but I'm not walking in her shoes right now.
If somebody continue.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
To come out and say, well, I didn't have to
escalate it to that, and I apologize, and maybe I
ar no, she doubled down and played the victim at
the same time and try to be tough and play
the victim at the same time, and it makes her
look unhinged. Sorry, And I know that there will be
a bunch of people say, well, that's the sexist thing
to say. You wouldn't say that about a man. Yeah.
(08:16):
I said it about Mark Sanford when he cried at
the airport in front of the whole world.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Made him look we're going way back, made him work
a week, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And it made him look unhinged.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, And you felt embarrassed for him, frankly, And so
in some ways maybe people do feel a little embarrassed
for her with the efforts and the loudness, and it
definitely caused a scene. I just I'm in a reserve
judgment because I have not been attacked like she has,
and I very publicly say, this is your public service announcement.
Don't come and attack me because it won't end well
(08:47):
for you.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
So, but let's be clear. She was not attacked in
this instance. She was approached by a man in a
store where she was buying face cleanser. According to her,
he asked her from a distance if she was going
to have any more town hall meetings. She copped in
attitude right away, and then she said, I voted for
(09:09):
gay marriage, by the way, and I thought that was odd.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That was a little lot. It caught him off guard.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
He caught him off guard. And he's like, that's what
you think I'm all about? And you know, and he
is a gay man, but he didn't say I'm a
gay man. I want to know when he didn't raise
any political issues. He just asked about town halls.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It would have been awkward if he wasn't gay.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, And so he's like, so that's the whole of
me to you, is gay marriage. And you think that's
some kind of defense for you in any way. That
escalated it, and she's like off, half off, and.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Uh, well, maybe he should have walked away after she
answered his question, which was you know I've had But
again I understand the way she answered that, I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
About your talking about twenty twenty four. I'm asking about
twenty twenty five. And she went back to, well, I
already held these town.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And she invited him to more to come. And by
the way, there's another video out there from last night.
She was on her way to I think University of
South Carolina for some appearance and trans guy came up
in address. Have you seen this one? I have, Yeah,
where it looked like he was going to throw a
potted plant at her but then walked away.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, and well, you know what, that's the sorry state
of politics these days. But she's not the only one
that has to deal with that. That's in the public eye.
And we've been in the public eye and we get approached,
you know, she's like, that was my time. Well, how
many times have you been approached while you were on
your time? It happens all the time, every day, right,
(10:39):
And have you ever treated anybody that approached you like that,
even if you knew that they were going to or
thought in your head that they were going to.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I'm telling you people haven't approached me this way, and
I don't invite it.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, but here's the thing is, if you watch the video,
he was not out of line, he was not attacking her,
he didn't seem mean, he didn't seem threatening, and it
was a almost non political get I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
She escalated it. I would agree with you from the
video that you can see. We weren't there, but from
the video that you can see, it became FU out
of her mouth and then he's screaming f you around
the corner as he walks away. I mean, it just escalated.
I would. I'm a de escalator. I don't like to fight.
I'm not. It's not pretty.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I mean, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Like a great display of leadership to me, and it
seemed unnecessary. And then to go out after and play
the victim and talk about how strong you are at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, and we're talking about this morning unless we forget
she wants to run for governor allegedly.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, well, we'll see if this serves her well when
that endeavor or not.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You're listening to you Charleston This Morning News on ninety
four to three wsc NOW Back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're covering this morning's top stories. Harvard University is suing
the Trump administration in an effort to block the government
from freezing funding to the school. The lawsuit, which was
filed in a US district court in Massachusetts against multiple
federal agencies, is looking to block the administration from withholding
funding for what it calls leverage to gain control of
(12:23):
academic decision making at Harvard. Earlier Monday, the Wall Street
Journal reported that the Trump administration is planning to pull
an additional one billion dollars in funding from the university.
The White House had previously said it was freezing over
two point two billion dollars in contracts and grants after
failing to meet demands, including eliminating DEI programs. Meanwhile, the
(12:44):
IRS is moving to take away Harvard's tax exempt status.
So you know what cracks me up about this story
is so many times? How many times have we heard
that this president is a billionaire protecting is billionaire buddies,
and that's why he's doing the tax cuts, and that's
why he's making the decisions that he's doing. He's just
(13:05):
some rich billionaire protecting the other his billionaire buddies. Yeah,
but when he moves to have Harvard stop being racist
and bigoted in their admissions and in their courses and
they're sitting on fifty something billion dollars in endowments and
(13:27):
the Democrats rush to protect them, isn't that ironic? Who
the billionaire is being protected?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Are? They can't make that make sense, doesn't fit the narrative.
How are they going to come back from that? I mean,
I'd be curious if you're listening and you can seven
five five, but you're not going to be able to listen?
Is anyone else sick in by the amount of money
we're talking about here? It's like an additional billion. This
is our tax.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Dollars, right, this is your money that you can that
they that's confiscated at university by the irs and then
doled out to Harvard University. Harvard University has the you know,
the audacity I was I was thinking of a dirtier word.
(14:16):
Let me get the bleep button here, the audacity to
complain that the government's like, hey, stop with your nonsense,
and if you want taxpayer dollars, you're going to have
to act in a more fair manner and stop all
your woke bs and you know, get with the program.
(14:38):
And they're like, we don't want to get with the program.
We have our own di programs that we fully support.
All right, well, then you take your fifty something billion
dollars and go support those programs. And essentially, to quote
Nancy mace f Off Harvard.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Here we go. But here's the thing. I think every
time we talk about the story, and any time you
talk about HAVD, you need to say it that way,
because this is the way that they're acting. Entitled and
get over yourselves. I mean, the American people have spoken,
They've mandated this president clean up everything that includes what
(15:16):
you just mentioned about DEI and how absurdly racist and
other things that DEI is. And you know what's really
going to hit them the hardest. And I'd love to
see the numbers on this, the irs moving to take
away their exempt their taxes status. I'd like to know
the numbers on that one. That ought to really shake
them to their core.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, they're tax exempt status, these billions of dollars coming
from the government. And even though they have fifty whatever,
there's differing reports, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
All around fifty six.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's all in the fifty between fifty and billion, between
fifty and sixty billion dollar mark, you know, the number
changes according to various reports, but somewhere between fifty and
billion dollars and sixty billion dollar endowments. They have all
this money, they have billions every year coming in from
the federal government, yet they still can't figure out how
(16:09):
to define a woman. Isn't that odd?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think it's more than odd. It's pathetic, sad, ridiculous.
And guess what, no one's wanting to have any more
of this, at least in this current administrations. Yeah, you
see good on this.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You want all these grants, and you want to do
all this scientific research, Why don't you start with taking
some of those billions of dollars in figuring out what
defines a woman?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
XX?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Wile let's start it there. Harvard, Harvard Idiots This Morning
News with Kelly and Blaze. Hey, thanks for listening on
this Tuesday morning. Appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It turns out that your childhood here is about quicksand
may have some validity. A Michigan man who became stuck
up to his waist in quote quicksand on a Lake
Michigan beach. He merged without in Travers City residents Mitchell
O'Brien and Brianna Sika said they were searching for Leland
bluestones at Reynolds Street Beach when O'Brien took a wrong
(17:09):
step about five feet past the shoreline and sank into
the sand. O'Brien told The Detroit News that his first
thought was, actually, oh, not this again. He explained the
incident wasn't the first time he's dealt with something like
this on the Great Lakes. O'Brien said he was able
to escape his previous predicament by flopping down on his buttocks,
(17:31):
but this situation was considerably more sticky. He said, my
left leg I couldn't move it. It's like there was
something holding it underground. It was crazy how hard it
was in there. Firefighters arrived on scene and were able
to pull O'Brien free from his predicament. The patch of
quicksand was found to have been caused by a hydraulic
(17:52):
dredge removing sand from the harbor bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well, you know this triggers anybody who is raised in
the low country, and it's pluff mud. We have our
own quicksand. It's called bluff mud. The more you move,
the more it sucks you in. And it also stinks.
I don't know if cement stinks or quicksand stinks.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But well, as a kid, you know, I think you
saw it in the movies, and I think and I
saw a meme on this, ironically enough, just a few
days ago, and it's like, remember how you were always
afraid of getting stuck in quicksand as a kid, because
you saw it everywhere, like people would go disappear into
the quicksand, and you know that really doesn't happen. You
(18:32):
get stuck in pluff mud, You get stuck in you know,
these sticky situations in the sand, in this soft stuff,
But you don't like sink down into oblivion until he disappear,
never to be seen again, like you see in the movies.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And for these I had to look it up. The
Leland bluestones that he was searching for. Is that what
was good? I was like, how much do these things
go for? I mean, they're gorgeous, beautiful stones. It almost
look like the night sky or some kind of I
don't know, former turquoise rock here. They're beautiful, But I mean,
is it worth losing your life potentially thinking into quicksand.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, at the end of the day he got his
left leg stuck. I don't think he was in fear.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
For his life, thank goodness.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And yeah, and there's some beautiful stones.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, I've never seen these before.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, look up Patosky stones too, and I don't even
have to spell that. Other there's great rock formations in Michigan.
There's the picture rocks that you can view from the coastline,
which are like cliffs of different type rocks that are
very colorful.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
What did you call them, Pataski Potoski stones.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So look that up too, but don't get caught in
quicksand while you're looking for them.
Speaker 1 (19:48):

I'd rather make her an action figure than a Barbie.
But all right, I guess she's kind of a Barbie's
kind of an action figure.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I didn't make it up. That's just the nickname that they've.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That's a hashtag. I can look up Ice Barbie.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, look up Ice Barbie. So federal authorities are looking

I didn't carry it purse, so I have the proper

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Under the bar. That's why they've got like so you
should first of all, so she should have had a

there the whole N ninety five masks versus what I
pictured when I first started hearing reports of the story yesterday.
I pictured some you know, bank robber, black ski mask,
and all I can think is, where is the Secret Service?
They were too far away?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well probably, but now it's normal to see people in
masks in society.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, so now I'm thinking differently about this.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So it doesn't raise suspicions.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, I wouldn't have raised suspicion for me to have
someone sitting next to me in a mask. Sadly, but
here we.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Are, and it's not clear that the thief knew who
he was dealing with. What more I know? And now
he has the Secret Service on his butt.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You better turn himself in.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I mean, I can imagine it would be that hard
to catch them.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay, can we talk about how much cash was in
our purse?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Three grand?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Was it three or five? Okay, let's go let let's
go saying three okay, is that like a baller move
to carry around three grand? I mean, I feel like
that's a little much. I realized your Homeland Security secretary
and you got you know, people around you, But clearly
you're still a target, no matter if you're just an
(03:26):
average Joe or Jane or not.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, I mean, I don't you'd have to ask her.
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I mean. The average amount of cash you carry around
it it's not three grand.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't have three grand.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Even if you did, if you were out there, you
have three thousand dollars a carry around and cas like,
what's the average amount of cash some one out to
be carrying around? To me, that's a lot. It's uh,
I'm making a bank deposit. A lot.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, it is a lot. But you know, I
don't know. I used to carry a lot of cash
at one point in my life.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Five indred bucks more than that, okay, but a grand
not anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, you don't have bid Yeah exactly, I don't have it.
So I don't know what the appropriate amount is. I
mean I always felt, you know, is she going to
buy having a lot of money? And then you can
no matter what happens, you're prepared.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
See three thousand dollars. That would make me feel uncomfortable,
like I would be on edge every second. I certainly
won't be putting my purse on the floor.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Well, inflation and all three grand's not what it used
to be.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't need. It's so sad, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And you would think that I don't know. But she
was out with her family and you know, they're going
to a nice dinner. And I don't know how much
really nice dinner this restaurant cost. You could be over
a grand right there to feed your family.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You know what, do we have the name of the restaurant?
I'm gonna look up their menu, Like, what are y'all doing?
Three grand? Yeah, I'd like to see what the She's like,
it's on me.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
The price is are there? Yeah? Yeah? Ice Barbie's like,
I got this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't like Ice Barbie. I don't like that for
her US headlines and the Talk you Need.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze on
ninety four to three WUSC.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
The Talk you need. There's always pressure there, Michael Blaze.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yes, Nancy Mayce, you know what I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It makes me laugh, But congresswoman of the first Congressional District.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Of course, was you know, out shopping over the weekend
when a constituent approached her and asked her if she
was going to have any town halls. That set Nancy
Mace off. She's playing the victim. She was on Hannity
last night saying, you know, as a survivor, you know
there's either fight or flight, and she's a fighter. So
(05:53):
she says that this guy invaded her space. If you
look at the video, he really didn't. I thought she
was inappropriate in this. I don't know what you think.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
One. I think it's funny, she calls it. He's been
dubbed Daisy Duke. Shorts are so short.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
But.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Listen the f us. I feel like we're a tad juvenile.
I mean off air, and I'm gonna say those are
keywords off air. I can throw some sailor cuss words around,
but I you know, I haven't been attacked publicly like
she has. I mean, she's been, like you said, open
about it. She's been attacked physically, mentally, emotionally, and she's
putting it all out there into some She overplays the
(06:33):
victim card into others. She's strapped on the proper armor
and is marching forward in strength. I mean, look through
the comments of each of her posts on her videos.
There are a lot of people and I notice a
lot of women who are like keep standing up and
being strong because there's you know, she's a mother, She's
got that mama bear thing going. Yeah, you know she's
(06:55):
a woman. You can say she's you know, I know.
Again there's a teetering between the victor card. That's you know, overplayed,
you know, some feel and then others. But again I
thought the FEUs were a little too much there. The
response there didn't have to be so escalated. It felt
like on her part it was escalator.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It was escalated on her part. And if you watch
the video, the guy says, are you going to have
any other town halls? I had twelve last year and
you had the opportunity to go to them. She like,
right off the bat, copped in attitude, you know, her demeanor.
If it was me on the other end of that conversation,
if you want to call it that, I mean, it
would have raised my ire automatically just her response would
(07:36):
have yeah, but provoked me.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
She's a human being, though, and you have been over
and over again.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't care, you know what.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But well, I mean I'm not she's again human to
air as human not saying she handled it the best
way possible, but I'm not walking in her shoes right now.
If somebody continue.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
To come out and say, well, I didn't have to
escalate it to that, and I apologize, and maybe I
ar no, she doubled down and played the victim at
the same time and try to be tough and play
the victim at the same time, and it makes her
look unhinged. Sorry, And I know that there will be
a bunch of people say, well, that's the sexist thing
to say. You wouldn't say that about a man. Yeah.
(08:16):
I said it about Mark Sanford when he cried at
the airport in front of the whole world.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Made him look we're going way back, made him work
a week, yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And it made him look unhinged.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, And you felt embarrassed for him, frankly, And so
in some ways maybe people do feel a little embarrassed
for her with the efforts and the loudness, and it
definitely caused a scene. I just I'm in a reserve
judgment because I have not been attacked like she has,
and I very publicly say, this is your public service announcement.
Don't come and attack me because it won't end well
(08:47):
for you.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
So, but let's be clear. She was not attacked in
this instance. She was approached by a man in a
store where she was buying face cleanser. According to her,
he asked her from a distance if she was going
to have any more town hall meetings. She copped in
attitude right away, and then she said, I voted for
(09:09):
gay marriage, by the way, and I thought that was odd.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That was a little lot. It caught him off guard.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
He caught him off guard. And he's like, that's what
you think I'm all about? And you know, and he
is a gay man, but he didn't say I'm a
gay man. I want to know when he didn't raise
any political issues. He just asked about town halls.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It would have been awkward if he wasn't gay.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, And so he's like, so that's the whole of
me to you, is gay marriage. And you think that's
some kind of defense for you in any way. That
escalated it, and she's like off, half off, and.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Uh, well, maybe he should have walked away after she
answered his question, which was you know I've had But
again I understand the way she answered that, I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
About your talking about twenty twenty four. I'm asking about
twenty twenty five. And she went back to, well, I
already held these town.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And she invited him to more to come. And by
the way, there's another video out there from last night.
She was on her way to I think University of
South Carolina for some appearance and trans guy came up
in address. Have you seen this one? I have, Yeah,
where it looked like he was going to throw a
potted plant at her but then walked away.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, and well, you know what, that's the sorry state
of politics these days. But she's not the only one
that has to deal with that. That's in the public eye.
And we've been in the public eye and we get approached,
you know, she's like, that was my time. Well, how
many times have you been approached while you were on
your time? It happens all the time, every day, right,
(10:39):
And have you ever treated anybody that approached you like that,
even if you knew that they were going to or
thought in your head that they were going to.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I'm telling you people haven't approached me this way, and
I don't invite it.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, but here's the thing is, if you watch the video,
he was not out of line, he was not attacking her,
he didn't seem mean, he didn't seem threatening, and it
was a almost non political get I get it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
She escalated it. I would agree with you from the
video that you can see. We weren't there, but from
the video that you can see, it became FU out
of her mouth and then he's screaming f you around
the corner as he walks away. I mean, it just escalated.
I would. I'm a de escalator. I don't like to fight.
I'm not. It's not pretty.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I mean, it didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Like a great display of leadership to me, and it
seemed unnecessary. And then to go out after and play
the victim and talk about how strong you are at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, and we're talking about this morning unless we forget
she wants to run for governor allegedly.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, well, we'll see if this serves her well when
that endeavor or not.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You're listening to you Charleston This Morning News on ninety
four to three wsc NOW Back to Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're covering this morning's top stories. Harvard University is suing
the Trump administration in an effort to block the government
from freezing funding to the school. The lawsuit, which was
filed in a US district court in Massachusetts against multiple
federal agencies, is looking to block the administration from withholding
funding for what it calls leverage to gain control of
(12:23):
academic decision making at Harvard. Earlier Monday, the Wall Street
Journal reported that the Trump administration is planning to pull
an additional one billion dollars in funding from the university.
The White House had previously said it was freezing over
two point two billion dollars in contracts and grants after
failing to meet demands, including eliminating DEI programs. Meanwhile, the
(12:44):
IRS is moving to take away Harvard's tax exempt status.
So you know what cracks me up about this story
is so many times? How many times have we heard
that this president is a billionaire protecting is billionaire buddies,
and that's why he's doing the tax cuts, and that's
why he's making the decisions that he's doing. He's just
(13:05):
some rich billionaire protecting the other his billionaire buddies. Yeah,
but when he moves to have Harvard stop being racist
and bigoted in their admissions and in their courses and
they're sitting on fifty something billion dollars in endowments and
(13:27):
the Democrats rush to protect them, isn't that ironic? Who
the billionaire is being protected?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Are? They can't make that make sense, doesn't fit the narrative.
How are they going to come back from that? I mean,
I'd be curious if you're listening and you can seven
five five, but you're not going to be able to listen?
Is anyone else sick in by the amount of money
we're talking about here? It's like an additional billion. This
is our tax.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Dollars, right, this is your money that you can that
they that's confiscated at university by the irs and then
doled out to Harvard University. Harvard University has the you know,
the audacity I was I was thinking of a dirtier word.
(14:16):
Let me get the bleep button here, the audacity to
complain that the government's like, hey, stop with your nonsense,
and if you want taxpayer dollars, you're going to have
to act in a more fair manner and stop all
your woke bs and you know, get with the program.
(14:38):
And they're like, we don't want to get with the program.
We have our own di programs that we fully support.
All right, well, then you take your fifty something billion
dollars and go support those programs. And essentially, to quote
Nancy mace f Off Harvard.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Here we go. But here's the thing. I think every
time we talk about the story, and any time you
talk about HAVD, you need to say it that way,
because this is the way that they're acting. Entitled and
get over yourselves. I mean, the American people have spoken,
They've mandated this president clean up everything that includes what
(15:16):
you just mentioned about DEI and how absurdly racist and
other things that DEI is. And you know what's really
going to hit them the hardest. And I'd love to
see the numbers on this, the irs moving to take
away their exempt their taxes status. I'd like to know
the numbers on that one. That ought to really shake
them to their core.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, they're tax exempt status, these billions of dollars coming
from the government. And even though they have fifty whatever,
there's differing reports, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
All around fifty six.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
It's all in the fifty between fifty and billion, between
fifty and sixty billion dollar mark, you know, the number
changes according to various reports, but somewhere between fifty and
billion dollars and sixty billion dollar endowments. They have all
this money, they have billions every year coming in from
the federal government, yet they still can't figure out how
(16:09):
to define a woman. Isn't that odd?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I think it's more than odd. It's pathetic, sad, ridiculous.
And guess what, no one's wanting to have any more
of this, at least in this current administrations. Yeah, you
see good on this.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You want all these grants, and you want to do
all this scientific research, Why don't you start with taking
some of those billions of dollars in figuring out what
defines a woman?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
XX?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Wile let's start it there. Harvard, Harvard Idiots This Morning
News with Kelly and Blaze. Hey, thanks for listening on
this Tuesday morning. Appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It turns out that your childhood here is about quicksand
may have some validity. A Michigan man who became stuck
up to his waist in quote quicksand on a Lake
Michigan beach. He merged without in Travers City residents Mitchell
O'Brien and Brianna Sika said they were searching for Leland
bluestones at Reynolds Street Beach when O'Brien took a wrong
(17:09):
step about five feet past the shoreline and sank into
the sand. O'Brien told The Detroit News that his first
thought was, actually, oh, not this again. He explained the
incident wasn't the first time he's dealt with something like
this on the Great Lakes. O'Brien said he was able
to escape his previous predicament by flopping down on his buttocks,
(17:31):
but this situation was considerably more sticky. He said, my
left leg I couldn't move it. It's like there was
something holding it underground. It was crazy how hard it
was in there. Firefighters arrived on scene and were able
to pull O'Brien free from his predicament. The patch of
quicksand was found to have been caused by a hydraulic
(17:52):
dredge removing sand from the harbor bottom.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Well, you know this triggers anybody who is raised in
the low country, and it's pluff mud. We have our
own quicksand. It's called bluff mud. The more you move,
the more it sucks you in. And it also stinks.
I don't know if cement stinks or quicksand stinks.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
But well, as a kid, you know, I think you
saw it in the movies, and I think and I
saw a meme on this, ironically enough, just a few
days ago, and it's like, remember how you were always
afraid of getting stuck in quicksand as a kid, because
you saw it everywhere, like people would go disappear into
the quicksand, and you know that really doesn't happen. You
(18:32):
get stuck in pluff mud, You get stuck in you know,
these sticky situations in the sand, in this soft stuff,
But you don't like sink down into oblivion until he disappear,
never to be seen again, like you see in the movies.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And for these I had to look it up. The
Leland bluestones that he was searching for. Is that what
was good? I was like, how much do these things
go for? I mean, they're gorgeous, beautiful stones. It almost
look like the night sky or some kind of I
don't know, former turquoise rock here. They're beautiful, But I mean,
is it worth losing your life potentially thinking into quicksand.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, at the end of the day he got his
left leg stuck. I don't think he was in fear.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
For his life, thank goodness.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
And yeah, and there's some beautiful stones.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, I've never seen these before.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, look up Patosky stones too, and I don't even
have to spell that. Other there's great rock formations in Michigan.
There's the picture rocks that you can view from the coastline,
which are like cliffs of different type rocks that are
very colorful.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
What did you call them, Pataski Potoski stones.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So look that up too, but don't get caught in
quicksand while you're looking for them.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
