This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. Now the top three things you should know. The Federal Trade Commission is banning non compete agreements. According to the FTC, about eighteen percent of the workforce in the US is covered by these agreements, which stops them from working for competitors or starting a new competing business when leaving a job. That's about thirty million people. The rule would ban these agreements for workers and forced companies to let current and past employees know that they won't be enforced. Pro business groups are expected to try to use legal action to block the rule from going into effect. NASA engineers have successfully fixed a problem with NASA's Voyager one spacecraft, which was launched in nineteen seventy seven. It was recently experiencing communication issues, sending garbled transmissions back to Earth. After months of troubleshooting, NASA engineers successfully fixed the problem transmitting a new code to the spacecraft. Voyager one, which has been exploring space for over four decades, has made significant discoveries, including findings about Jupiter's moon Low and Saturday's moon Titan. A Belgian man with a rare condition that causes his body to produce alcohol is being acquitted of drunk driving. The condition is called auto brewery syndrome. Experts say only around twenty people in the world have been diagnosed with the condition. They believe, however, that ABS is most likely underdiagnosed. I would not try that as an excuse, though, I was going to say, at the next traffic stop, hopefully you don't have one fingers crossed. It's my ABS, officer. I'm sorry, it does sound, you know, like something they make a pill for It sounds ABS, sounds like BS, but supposedly it's for real. That's exactly what the law forestment officer said. Right, I'm sorry, did you say BS? No, officer, ABS. Twenty people in the whole world. Don't you feel like that's something that would happen to you? You're like, okay, well, this is my kind of luck. Twenty people in the entire world could get this. Yeah. So it's something growing in your tummy, basically in your gut that makes you feel drunk. Well, it's alcohol. Your body is producing alcohol, wow, which makes you not feel drunk. It makes you drunk. This poor man, bless his heart. I mean, how do you function well? Right to laugh? But I don't mean to laugh either, but I don't walking around like otis on the Andy Griffiths Show, now Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. In ninety four to three, WSC's national correspondent Rory O'Neil, we don't have enough time probably to cover every bit of the trial update and it just started with Trump in New York. It did, and they're off today, So nothing going on today. But two things happened yesterday. First, they hearing about alleged violations of the gag order by the former president ten times. The prosecutors say the judge heard the evidence or the arguments didn't sound too convinced by the defense here, so it's a wait and see. He has yet to issue a ruling on the gag order of violations. But in testimony it was the former publisher of the National Inquirer back on the stand yesterday, David Pecker. He will expect more testimony from him on Thursday. Is still sort of laying out the case right now, some pretty slimy journalistic practices, but so far not really talking about a crime that really is yet to come. Wait, one thing here about the gag order for one second, because it looked like Alvin Bragg. He got completely b clown backing down from this because Trump stepped up and said, it'd be a great honor to be the modern day Nelson Mandela to be thrown in the clink for speaking the truth here. That was pretty epic. Yeah, well yeah, and that's the art that the throwing Trump into Riker's island would be playing right into his hands. The judge really can only issue a fine of a thousand dollars per a violation or thirty days in jail, So we'll see what they do. Thirty days in jail, they would throw. A jury's already been seated, so it messes up the whole jury selection who's in the trial. That would really mess up a lot of things. Possibility of a jail sentence that's suspended. Rory I was saying earlier that the media is now responsible for entering another annoying phrase into the lexicon, much in the vein of the hanging chad and efficacy and all these other words that they lob onto every time there's a big story like this. This one seems to be catch and kill. Can you explain what catch and kill is? Sure? So this is the practice of a news organization like the National Inquirer buying the exclusive rights to someone's story. It prohibits them from talking to other media outlets, but the person gets paid. So in this case the Stormy Daniels Karen McDougal, they claimed they were paid money to give their story to the Inquirer, but the Inquirer never published it. So the Inquirer essentially catches the story, paysport, but then never publishes it. They kill it to protect. In this case, prosecutors say Donald Trump, well, it'll be interesting to see how the trial turns out. And they're off today and it resumes on Thursday. Rory will check in with you again tomorrow morning. Thanks for the details this morning traffic and weather every ten minutes. This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and plays on ninety four to three WSC. Today is Scream Day, No Problem. Scream Day's meant to raise awareness of the health benefits of screaming. Screaming itself has been considered healing for centuries. Over two thousand years ago, screaming was viewed as therapeutic and was supplementary to Eastern medicine as a matter of fact, Master of Chinese medicine, doctor Lou believes that screaming aids with liver stagnation. Screaming was designed by Arthur Yanov is a way to process emotions and let out all of your frustrations with a big, long howl. There's even evidence that screaming taps into deep emotions and brings them to the surface. Okay, I don't mind howling, but I'm not a screamer. Well, I was going to say, you know, anybody who's had a deal with a screamer, I don't know if they'd agree with screaming day, whether it's a child, or a wife or whatever, or a husband for that matter, not a screamer. You know, you know, it might be therapeutic, peutic for you, but do it underwater. It does the opposite for the person who has to listen to you.

Welcome in Wednesday. Chili starts going to be nice though. Hi in the eighties, I'll take it. I mentioned before the break our wide open southern border that's triggering some statewide legislation that could actually pass this week, one of them making fentanyl lace drug overdose is a homicide in South Carolina. We catch up with state Representative Kathy Landing. They've been feverishly on this law this week that actually could help better protect the Palmetto State from just disastrous Joe Biden poorous open border problems. So important that people realize these are not drugs that are just based on overdose. You hear the term overdose all the time. That is not how our young people and even adults are dying. In many cases, they are taking one pill, like one pill that they thought was an opioid or something, and if it's lace with sentinel right now, that's the drug that's being used. They're poisoned, they die, and it is not because they were overdosing on it. So we want to make sure if somebody is dealing in illicit drugs and on top of that causes the death of someone because it was laced with some kind of a poisonous edition, they will be held responsible for homicide. So i'd mentioned also a bill that would allow our local sheriff's departments here in the Palmetto State to remove illegal squatters from your property. Apparently that's not going to get past this year, Landing said, but she says it's in the works. So this went viral, these videos surfacing, and you know I'd mentioned described a little bit, you know, non English speaking man just encouraging these home takeovers. I mean, actual stories began to surface. We've talked about them of this squatting in America, you know, across homes in America, not just here potentially in the Low Country or South Carolina, but the nightmare scenarios that it took to remove them. I'd mentioned one story, I went down a rabbit hole in Austin, Texas, this poor woman, it was unreal. Well, I checked into this weeks ago after the news first broke across the country. Of all these different cases, and South Carolina's law is among the tough in the state. You can get people out of your house if you have squatters, and the courses is if you're away or vacation home or whatever. However, you do have to file a lawsuit to have them evicted, and then the sheriff can a victim. But that's ridiculous. You should not have to file a lawsuit to get someone out of your property, your private property. So I did file a bill, and the day I inquired to make sure we didn't already have something in the works, it turns out another representative had also inquired, and so I am a primary sponsor with Adam Morgan and represented from the upstate, and we already have sixty sixty people co sponsoring this bill. And basically what it does is it says that we are a homeowner can simply notify the sheriff and they can get the person removed immediately. They do not have to file a lawsuit. The summary of the bill is very, very straightforward. It's Bill number five three seven five I believe second. And what it does is not only can you yet by say seventy five, and not only can you have someone immediately removed from your property, but if they do anything from a thousand dollars or more in damage, it's actually a felony and they and they will be held responsible for with penalties or jail time for damaging your home, your property. So that's that's what we filed. Our only problem is the time this only came up a few weeks ago, and we're already coming down to the last three weeks of regular session, so we may not have enough time to get it through this year, but with that much support already, if we can't get anything passed this year, we will certainly hit the ground running with pre filing it for next year. That's pretty tough to be able to, you know, one avoid a court of law and lawsuits and then considering the jail time and penalties being a felony for damages over what did she say, A thousand dollars? Thousand dollars? How about that unfortunate on the timing, I suppose. Well, I wonder if it affects, you know, regular evictions or if this is simply for squatters. And I wonder how they're going to differentiate the difference. Check out our website ninety four to three WUSC dot com. Now back to Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Blaze. I mentioned before the break in case you missed it, and I mean, I'm looking back here, Blaze. This is almost five days ago, and it's just making the rounds. When it comes to the Biden administration. The latest i'd said, three letter agency and you see you know, you think three letter agency. These are unelected bureaucrats. But the latest apparently that he's weaponized to strike. It's the Department of Education. So they've been working on overhauling and finalizing. Now they have their Title nine overhaul. So the whole design here is to protect college and university students and employees from sex based harassment and sexual violence. But here's the thing. It regulates and changes the definition of sex to gender identity, which is I get to say. The costitutional attorney digging into his name is Don Brown. It is so many violations of our constitutional rights. It's unbelievable. Especially when it comes to boys and girls' sports. We're going to see a plethora of Lawson's. This is the left and the Biden administration waging war on women, basically with a nuclear weapon here. I mean, people complain about it, you know, the Dob's case. This is absolute warfare on women and the highest degree. So I'm just questioned, where are women's rights activists now? I mean, first off, this is women will lose scholarships. We heard this with Riley Gaines and others making all kinds of national news for quite some time now. She's the Kentucky swimmer now graduated, but dealing with the trans you know, swimmer and sports. But this means men are going to be able to take scholarship money from women, not to mention their security and safety. Well, I look at it, like, you know, there's a parallel between Jewish Hamas supporters and women who support trans athletes in women's sports. Like coach Don's daily, How could you have that position? It doesn't make any sense to me. It seems anesthetical. A hundred percent agree with that, and this is a hard no. It needs to be fast tracked straight to the Supreme Court of the United States if it's possible. Well, we'll see what happens with it. But you know, obviously there's some people standing up for it, and some women standing up for it, but you would think that there would be a bigger outcry because it's really the end of women's sports. Why have women's sports if men can declare themselves women and play women's sports. I mean, there's a simple fix to this, but that's not what they want. They want to sew and continue to create chaos. I mean, if you want to trans league, have a trance league. But either way. This is unconstitutional on many levels, of which Don Brown mentioned there on Real America's Voice about this, It's just we'll see where it goes. Yep time.
