Saturday Morning Coffee - the Reese Boyd Radio Hour

Saturday Morning Coffee for May 29, 2021:
Welcome to a special Memorial Day edition of Saturday Morning Coffee!  Your host Reese Boyd gives a brief history of Memorial Day and explains the importance of remembering the Fallen on this somber but important holiday, because Freedom is not FREE!  Glenn Dye shares his memories of hearing “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood for the first time, and Reese talks about how many Americans have paid the ultimate price so that we can be free today to do the many things that we do, to include recording this podcast and radio program!  Reese talks about the importance of not only honoring this somber holiday, but also the importance of standing up for freedom today!

Reese also discusses the ongoing dilution of “truth” in our culture, and the importance of standing up for objective standards for what is true, what is reality, and what is not.  The very dishonest press reporting of the Mollie Tibbits murder trial is discussed, along with the manner in which the USA Today newspaper forced high school athlete Chelsea Mitchell to re-write her recent op-ed piece on transgender athletes, because she used the term “male” to refer to males!  Reese and Glenn also discuss “the Fauch” (Dr. Anthony Fauci) and his latest “flip-flop” on matters of great import, this time on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.  In addition to Dr. Fauci, we discuss the startling press conference this week by which the President has now directed US Intelligence agencies to investigate the origins of COVID-19.

Reese gives a special shout out to Jon Bonsignor and the Community Law Enforcement Appreciation Committee, which is meeting again after taking a break in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Reese also discusses the announcement this week that Southwest Airlines has begun service to the Myrtle Beach International Airport, and also an essay contest that is now underway that will give away electric school buses to schools in four school districts in South Carolina.  Reese and Glenn also discuss the new Ford F-150 “Lightening” and whether or not we are ready to drive an electric truck.

Lt. Governor Pamela Evette joins us to talk about the hard questions - like what's her favorite flavor of ice cream - and the other pressing questions that our President must answer each day.  Lt. Gov. Evette discusses the accomplishments of the just-concluded legislative session, including the “Heartbeat Bill” that was signed into law by Gov. McMaster, making S.C. a sanctuary state for the Second Amendment, progress that was made on school choice legislation, and other major accomplishments.  Reese and the Lt. Governor discuss the current sad state of affairs in this Country that has resulted from the disastrous policies that President Biden has implemented in the short time that he has been in office, including massive monetary-based spending, paying people not to work, and many other really harmful policies that have been implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We talk about the importance of the “work ethic” in this Country and how our government is eliminating that value in our young people today.

We discuss the value of the “American Dream” and a recent speech that the Lt. Gov. gave to graduating seniors, and how we should be marketing the message of the American dream and opportunity to our children and youth.  We also discuss Critical Race Theory and a bill now pending in the S.C. General Assembly that will prohibit public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory in their classrooms.

We close with a special moment of recognition for our Fallen heroes, our veterans, and our law enforcement personnel, and our Parting Wisdom from the Proverbs.

Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend, and remember that Freedom is not Free!!
