Saturday Morning Coffee - the Reese Boyd Radio Hour

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, February 6, 2021.  Your host Reese Boyd and Glenn Dye discuss the events of the week in Washington, ongoing censorship by Big Tech in Silicon Valley, and other Big This / Big That companies, like Bank of America, who are trampling on their customers' rights with little regard for and legal privacy right in their customers' information.  Rep. Tim McGinnis joins us on the show to talk about the Famous Toastery in Carolina Forest, and brings some of the Toastery's fine LavAzza Italian Coffee with him for us to enjoy on the show.  We discuss Rep. McGinnis' work in the General Assembly, how the legislature is fairing in its ongoing efforts to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic, the recent judicial elections in the General Assembly and the pros and cons of our selection process, as well as HOA reform, and what can be done about reining in Google, Twitter, and other "Big Tech" companies that are actively muzzling  and censoring their conservative users.

Remembering Ronald Reagan: 
Reese shares his recollections of the Reagan Presidency, and we remember America's 40th President on what would have been his 110th Birthday, if he were still with us today.  Reese is joined on the program by Richard V. Battle, who also shares his memories of President Reagan and we reflect on the leadership skills that made him so effective, and the lessons that his legacy still holds for us today.

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, January 9, 2021.  Your Host Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the incredible events of January 6 in our Nation's Capitol, and how the terrible tragedy of that day points to the over-arching need - the imperative - that we fix our election processes going forward.    We talk about how opinions and viewpoints are being suppressed - by Big Tech especially - and how that is harming our civic fabric and the strength of our democracy.  Rep. Russell Fry joins us on the program to talk about the events of the week and the outlook for the Republican Party going forward, plus, how we can work to restore confidence in the integrity of our elections after a "dumpster fire" of an election in November 2020.

Thanks for Listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!

Welcome back to a New Year and another edition of Saturday Morning Coffee!  Reese discusses the disappointing Clemson-Ohio State game, and some valuable life lessons the game teaches.  Reese gives an update on the progress of Tom Herron following his stroke, and how the WTKN Family "broke the switchboard" at the hospital by calling in such numbers to check on Tom during his hospital stay.  Reese discussed upcoming events in the capital, including possible objections to the certification of the November election results in the Congress.  We discuss an update to efforts to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, and problems at DHEC and its failure to keep the public apprised of its efforts to distribute the vaccine and inoculate the population.

Reese discusses a new section that has opened in Lichfield Beach on the Murrells Inlet bike trail, and a nice bike ride enjoyed over the weekend, along with some reflections from a visit to a coffee shop on the ride.  We discuss the history of the "lockdowns" for COVID-19 and the need to return our lives to something that is more normal.  We discuss the harm that lockdowns and slow-downs in the economy have caused for small business.  Reese discusses recent experience with DHEC, "contract tracing" and how his household responded to COVID-19.

We discuss the "New Years Resolution" phenomenon, which resolutions often work, and which do not.  We also discuss the "most overworked" words of 2020, and several words and phrases from 2020 that we are sick of hearing.

We discuss the critical issue before us - "ballot integrity" - and the need to fix the problems that appear to have compromised the 2020 election.  We review the frighteningly accurate predictions made by the "Transition Integrity Project" - which were discussed on this program, and how they all seem to have played out just the way many of those participating in the project predicted.  Reese discusses the need to "fix" these issues going forward, and how we must fix this issue - which is now as important as any issue that we have to deal with.

Reese concludes the show with some words of wisdom on some things we should all focus on in 2021.

Join your Host Reese Boyd as he shares some of his favorite Christmas music and memories on this special day-after-Christmas edition of Saturday Morning Coffee!

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, December 12, 2020!
Reese and Glenn open the show with a discussion of their respective coffees of choice this Saturday morning, along with a coffee recommendation from Tim the "Car Detail Guy," one of our regular listeners.  Reese gives a well-deserved shout-out to Coastal Carolina University and the Chanticleers football team - who remains the only undefeated football team in South Carolina!  We wish them the best as they take on Troy, at Troy, later in the day on Saturday Dec 12.

Election 2020:
Reese and Glenn discuss the news from the US Supreme Court, and the just-announced decision that the Court has made not to hear the case brought by the Texas Attorney General.  We discuss the questions involved - did the Court legally have jurisdiction to hear the case, and why it seems it chose not to hear the case.  Reese discusses the objections that some conservatives, like Ben Shapiro, have raised in response to the Texas petition, but why he thinks the Supreme Court should have at least considered the case, even if it did not choose to grant the relief sought by the Texas AG.  More important than the 2020 election itself, Reese notes, is how we prevent future elections from spiraling down this same path.  We discuss that voters are going to have vote in person, and we're going to have to use paper ballots, and figure out what other measures need to be implemented in order to prevent any repeat of this "dumpster fire" of an election from ever repeating itself - EVER.

Coronavirus Update:
Reese and Glenn discuss the latest warnings being handed down from Blue City Mayors and Blue State Governors, and Biden's Coronavirus Task Force, regarding the dangers of families gathering for the Christmas holiday.  "No Christmas Parties!", we are being told.  (Marching in the streets is perfectly OK, mind you, but that Christmas Party you want to host for your friends and family is strictly verboten!  We also discuss the approval of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, and also that dogs in France are being trained to detect the Coronavirus in humans by smelling their armpits.  (It's a very bad time to be a dog!). Reese notes that in any undertaking as complex as the development of a novel vaccine in as short a time period as this, there are bound to be a few mistakes that have been made, we just hope that they are few - and that their implications are not significant.  We discuss the question of why it would not seem to make sense for some demographics, particularly those under 30, to take the vaccine at all.

Reese discusses the idea that has been floated by various public officials, that there should be "racial preferences" observed in prioritizing the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.  We discuss what an awful, harmful, terrible idea this is, and why no government official should use the distribution of the vaccine as an opportunity to further divide this already-divided nation on the basis of race or any other similar classification.

Groundhog Day, in December:
Reese introduces a new segment for the show, "Predictions and Prognostications with Puxatawney Phil," where your humble hosts give their predictions for the seemingly dark days ahead.  Special Guest Co-Host Don Bowne with Red Hats for Trump joins us to help launch this new segment.  For the first "Puxatawney Phil" segment, Reese reviews some of the Show's earlier predictions from May of this year, and discusses some of his recent predictions, as well as some new ones:

• China will NOT be held to account for its role in releasing and spreading the COVID-19 virus, and contributing to the size and devastation of the resulting pandemic, largely because:
• Joe Biden (unfortunately) will be sworn in in January, but he will not serve a full term.  Reese predicts he'll be removed from office in as less than 18 months, and that he doesn't believe Biden will serve more than 24 months of his first term.
• Don Bowne - makes a bold move and predicts that Biden will be out in six months or less.
• Glenn Dye days 8 months or less for President Biden.
• Reese says Commie-La will be President within 18-24 months from now.
• Reese also says during the first term of Biden-Harris, the Wall will be torn down, likely as a result of some "endangered species" that is "found" living under or around, in the shadow of the wall.

Reese asks if Donald Trump should continue to be the standard-bearer for the Republican Party in 2024, or do we need someone new to take up the mantle of leading the cause?  His prediction - for now - Trump will be back in 2024.  Reese also shows some particularly insightful prognostication from the Wall St Journal back in September, and a frighteningly prescient law review article by Edward Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University Law School, which was published back in May of this year.  The article predicts almost exactly and to the minute, what would happen in election night in Pennsylvania, back during the time when Elizabeth Warren, or all people, was considered to be the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.  These articles, and many others that we don't have time to talk about, raise the very important question -- if all of this was so eminently predictable, why did this TRAIN WRECK of an election unfold just exactly as so many of the doomsday predictors foretold?  How is it that we weren't able to prevent this from happening???

Parting Wisdom:
Take heart: Reese reminds us all that there are 70-80 Million Americans who believe that we are at our best when we are our most free, that the path to progress for all our people, for all mankind, lies with liberty, not with tyranny.  He notes that FREEDOM is worth fighting for, and that all of us are created in the image of God, that we were born to be FREE, and that life which is not free, is not worth living.  Reese shares some "Parting Wisdom" about beginnings, and endings, and our conviction that NOTHING ENDED on November 3.  This election was not an ending, it was a BEGINNING.  NOTHING HAS ENDED.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understandings.  In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."  ~Proverbs 3:5-6

From all of us at Saturday Morning Coffee, thanks for listening!

Welcome to Episode 53 of Saturday Morning Coffee!

In this week's show, Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the ongoing election saga and the various legal challenges now pending that have been filed by the Trump campaign, and the status of various swing states that are still "in play."  Reese reminds his listeners of the need to set up Parler and Rumble accounts, and otherwise to find alternatives to the "Big Tech" Oligarchs that are censoring conservatives' ability to speak their minds and to participate in the online public square.

Election Update:
Caller Tommy and Reese discuss predictions for what will happen in the Trump-Biden contest, and Reese's view that the President is not going to be able to reverse the "apparent" outcome of this election.  We all agree that there were problems with this election - major problems with this election, but we discuss how that is different from having the legal evidence in form (and quantities) sufficient to convince enough Judges in enough states that the "results" of this election should be reversed, because the fraud and other wrongdoing was of sufficient quantity (in terms of ballots canceled or illegally cast) to change the rightful outcome of this election.

Reese discusses the recent opinion from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, dismissing a challenge to that State's election results, and explains how the opinion well illustrates many of the objections that are being raised to the Trump Campaign's legal challenges in various States.

Caller Damien calls to discuss questions about a "color revolution" in America?  Reese discusses his thoughts on the various allegations related to the "hacking" of Dominion Voting System's and other electronic voting machines in the November election.

In the second hour, Gene Ho, who is running for Mayor of Myrtle Beach in 2021, joins us in the studio to discuss the Trump-Biden saga, and his upcoming campaign for Myrtle Beach Mayor.  Gene shares a little bit of his background and his service as photographer for the Trump for President campaign, and why he decided to run for Mayor.

Parting Wisdom:
Reese shares some parting wisdom from Walter Williams, who has passed away.  Williams was a brilliant conservative economist and thinker, and he will be missed!

On behalf of all of us at Saturday Morning Coffee, thanks for listening!!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of US at Saturday Morning Coffee!
It's a special Post-Thanksgiving edition of Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, November 28!  Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the Thanksgiving holiday.  Reese discusses the 1619 Project and the historical background of the Thanksgiving holiday, including the importance of the Mayflower Compact, and George Washington's 1789 declaration of the original Thanksgiving Holiday.  We invite our listeners to share those things that they are thankful for in this 2020 Thanksgiving season.  We discuss the return to "lockdown" mode in many communities across the nation and the effort by some to "cancel" the Thanksgiving holiday.  Reese discusses recent decisions by the US Supreme Court as related to the Coronavirus pandemic, "lock-downs," and personal and religious liberty as protected by the Constitution.  We note various authorities that confirm a "public health emergency" does not mean that the government gets to ignore the Constitution and simply do as it pleases.  Our constitutional republic is not supposed to work that way.

Trump vs. Biden:
We discuss the latest court developments on the litigation front challenging the "results" of the November 2020 election for POTUS.  Reese discusses his belief that it is very unlikely that the legal challenges of the Trump team will be successful in reversing the apparent Biden victory on November 3rd.  We discussed the rampant problems with mailing out millions of "absentee ballots," unsolicited, and the many other problems that are evident in the November voting.  The various legal arguments being made by the Trump legal team are discussed.

Greg Sisson joins us in the studio for a discussion of the book he is reading, "The American Miracle" by Michael Medved, which talks about the miracle that America is, and the way that God's hand of Providence has been on this country since its founding.  We also discuss what impact a Biden Presidency might have on the real estate markets, and the economy in general.

Parting Wisdom:
Reese and Greg share some parting wisdom and words to live by.  Reese shares some particularly timely wisdom from Alex Trebek and Ken Boa, and particularly some great lessons that he learned at a recent seminar taught by Dr. Boa at the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove in Asheville, NC.

On behalf of all of us at Saturday Morning Coffee, we wish you a Happy Holidays and thanks for listening!
