Saturday Morning Coffee - the Reese Boyd Radio Hour

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for August 7, 2021!

Reese Boyd is out of town on vacation with his family so we're joined on the Show this week by special guest hosts Liz Callaway and Javier Lopez.  The discuss the ongoing discussion over vaccine passports, and the President's inability to discuss the number of Americans who have been vaccinated.  They discuss the problem of illegal immigration and the ongoing crisis at our southern border.

Liz and Javi discuss their prior adventures with Reese and Javi discussed the danger of following Reese's son on the "Hulk" mountain bike trail.  We discuss a new tourism / Watersports show that will be filmed in Myrtle Beach.

Booster shots: Liz and Javi discuss Gov. DiSantis and his remarks about Biden and the President's "Gov. Who?" comments regarding the Governors that are standing up to the federal government.  We discuss "natural immunity" and how our public health response to COVID-19 has ignored the phenomenon of natural immunity.  We also discuss the Administration's narrative of the "Pandemic of the Unvaccinated" -- and whether it is true or not.  Liz discusses her experience with MRNA treatments for Lyme disease, and her questions about the MRNA vaccines for COVID-19.  We discuss whether the vaccines are truly effective, in light of the Delta variant.

Liz and Javi discuss vaccine mandates and the upcoming "Walk out Wednesday" -- #WalkOutWednesday -- for those employees who are being required to get the vaccine but don't want to do so.

Thanks for joining us on Saturday Morning Coffee!  Reese and Glen will be back in the studio on August 21!

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, July 31, 2021:

On this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, the Reese Boyd Radio Hour, Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the return of mask mandates, and the looming threat of vaccine mandates, and the various reasons why government mandates never die!  We also discuss the relatively anemic Olympics and how it seems to be a rather "so-so" event that for whatever reason, many seem to be overlooking.  Reese and Glen share some of their favorite Olympic memories, from some of the more memorable Olympic teams in our past.

We talk a lot on this show about mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and how a government bureaucracy that obtains power never seems to be able to let it go (at least not permanently).  We discuss Texas Gov. Abbott's Order prohibiting vaccine or mask mandates in Texas. 

In other news, we discuss the President's rather astonishing claim this week that he was once an 18-Wheel Trucker.  No one seems to know this, except for the POTUS.  For its part, the White House has said that Biden "once rode in an 18-Wheeler." 

Sen. Josh Kimbrell (R-Spartanburg County) joins us on the program to discuss his proposal to dramatically scale back the personal income tax in South Carolina, and to eliminate the corporate income tax.  We also discuss other developments in Columbia that are (or should be) ver important to conservatives, including the "Save Women's Sports Act" which seek to prevent biological males, who self-identify as females, from competing in women's sports at the high school level.

Also in the second hour, musical artist Savannah Craven joins us in the studio to discuss her upcoming single, "Black Victor".  She also discusses her role in the forthcoming production of "Oklahoma!" which will be playing as an outdoor drama beginning August 19 at the Mount Rouge Farm in Roseland, VA. 

Reese closes out this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee with some parting wisdom from Mark Stein.

Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!  We'll see you next week!
Proverbs 3:5-6

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, July 24, 2021!

In this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, your host Reese Boyd discusses the rise of woke corporations and how their agendas are anti-American, and how Conservatives must be very careful about where we spend our money.  We discuss the current upheaval (a continuation) in the Horry County Republican Party, mostly stemming from a lawsuit that has been filed against the Party and its leadership.  In the second hour, Chris Neeley, Superintendent of the S.C. Statewide Public Charter School District joins us on the program to update on the status of charter schools in South Carolina.  We're also joined on the program by Rep. William Bailey (R-North Myrtle Beach), who serves in the S.C. House of Representatives.  Rep. Bailey talks about some of his biggest accomplishments, and some of his bigger frustrations, of serving a full term and part of his second term in the House.  Reese discusses "Stand and Deliver", a new song that has just been released by Eric Clapton, which opposes the lockdowns and vaccine mandates that so many countries are enforcing.  Reese also discusses the arrival of POTUS Joe Biden at Disney's "Hall of President's" attraction at the Magic Kingdom.  Reese poses a trivia question - asking why we have 46 Presidents (if you count Joe Biden), but only 45 animatronic figures in Disney's Hall of Presidents?

Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!  ~Proverbs 3:5-6

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, July 17, 2021!

After a brief hiatus (Saturday Morning Coffee for July 3rd was a "Best of SMC" Episode, and we had some technical difficulties in the Studio for July 10 that prevented us from bringing that episode of the podcast to you), Saturday Morning Coffee is back!

For Saturday, July 17, your host Reese Boyd begins the show by welcoming Producer Glenn Dye back from a much needed and well deserved vacation.  Welcome back, Glenn, and Happy Birthday!

Speaking of birthdays, Reese discusses an upcoming birthday for Liz Callaway (Liz Callaway Morning Show, Weekdays 6-10am on talk945.com), and an upcoming birthday event for Liz that will benefit "Fostering Hope" in Conway, SC, and the work that they do providing clothing and school supplies for foster children in the area.

Reese discusses the alarming situation in California following the most aggressive COVID lockdowns in the Country that have been enforced there under Governor Gavin Newsome.  He discusses the welcome news this week that Conservative Radio Personality Larry Elder is running for Governor and talks about how our listeners can help the Elder for Governor Campaign.  Listener Larry Biddle calls the show to discuss his experience growing up in Sacramento, California, and what a great conservative governor he would make for the State of California.

Reese also discusses an article that appeared in The Nerve (www.thenerve.org) concerning some very large pay raises that just went into effect for many state agency heads and other state employees, questioning where some of our state government employees really needed to receive raises of 25%, 33%, or even 48% in some cases, in these trying and uncertain times that have caused so many in the private sector to lose their businesses or lose their jobs.  Reese asks for listeners to chime in and share their stories of when they last received a 48% pay raise!

Rep. Mike Burns, (R-Travelers Rest), member of the South Carolina General Assembly, joins us on the program to discuss the "Stop Tech Censorship in South Carolina" Bill (H. 3450), very important legislation that he has been championing in the S.C. General Assembly.  We discuss who you can do to help this very important bill become law, and Rep. Burns also discusses his involvement in recent anti-tax litigation in Greenville County, in which two "user fee" taxes imposed by Greenville County Council have been ruled by the Court as impermissible, in an important case that is likely to have state-wide implications.

Fred Lucas, chief national affairs correspondent with the Daily Signal and co-host of the "Right Side of History" podcast, joins us to discuss current events surrounding the protests in Cuba, how the United States can best respond, and what to look for in the days and weeks ahead.

In the Parting Wisdom segment, Reese discusses some wisdom he recalls his grandmother sharing...  "You'll catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar!"  There are quite a few people in politics today - and in the Horry County Republican Party in particular - who would do well to remember that little bit of wisdom!  But for now, the circus antics continue within the Horry County GOP.  This time, the antics are in the form of a vote this week to censure State Party Chair, Drew McKissick, for something that he said about the Greenville County GOP.  (Bear in mind, McKissick hasn't actually DONE anything yet, and none of us know how all the things happening elsewhere in the State are going to play out, but for good measure, let's just go ahead and censure McKissick and get that out of the way.)  Right!  Big future there, folks.

Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!  We hope you all have a blessed week and we'll see you again next Saturday Morning!

Welcome to a Special Second Anniversary Edition of Saturday Morning Coffee!

Today's episode is the Second Anniversary of Saturday Morning Coffee, and we thank all of our listeners (and sponsors) for supporting Saturday Morning Coffee for two years now!  Reese opens the show with a little "refresher" on the history of Saturday Morning Coffee, how it came to be, and his vision and hopes/aspirations for the show.

This week's topics include: Veep Harris FINALLY makes a Run for the Border, and visits, well, El Paso, which is at least "close" to the Border, before flying on to LAX.  We discuss the unparalleled building collapse in Surfside, Florida, and our hearts and prayers go out to all the families of the victims and this missing, who have been impacted by this horrific tragedy.  Your host for Saturday Morning Coffee, Reese Boyd, also discusses a very important piece that was published in the Wall St. Journal this week, by Drs. Joseph Ladapo and Harvey Rich, about all that we DON'T know about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.  Jonathan Butcher, an education fellow with the Heritage Foundation, joins us on the program to discuss the growing prevalence of Critical Race Theory in our society and (more importantly) in our schools.  Special guest Tom Herron, host of Up With America, joins us in the studio for a special "guest host" segment where Reese and Tom discuss this history and purposes of the two shows, and how each has grown over the last year for Up With America, and over the last two years for Saturday Morning Coffee.  Reese discusses some very troubling news, also reported in the WSJ this week and elsewhere, regarding Rudy Giuliani's suspension from the practice of law in New York State, and what a troubling and dangerous development this is for all of us, attorneys and non-attorneys alike.

Reese concludes with some Parting Wisdom from Michael Farris, President of the Alliance Defending Freedom, about the importance of standing up and Speaking Out for the things that you know to be true and right, even when you are the only one who is willing to take a stand or to speak out.  We must be strong and courageous, because we never know what the impact of even just one voice may be, so we must speak out!

Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!  We love all our listeners and thank you for two great years, and look forward to many more!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, June 19, 2021!

Welcome to a special Father's Day edition of Saturday Morning Coffee, the Reese Boyd Radio Hour.  This week's episode features some of our favorite "Dad's Day" music, including "Drive" by Alan Jackson and many more of our favorites.  On this edition of Saturday Morning Coffee, Reese reflects on some of his favorite Father's Day memories, and we also discuss the newly-enacted federal "Juneteenth" holiday and its history.  We also pay a special tribute to Kay James, President of the Heritage Foundation, and shares her comments on the Juneteenth Holiday with our listeners.  We also discuss the recent rise of "Critical Race Theory" and how dangerous this doctrine is, and how dangerous it is to immerse our children and young people (or any of us) in any doctrine that divides us as a nation.  Reese draws a comparison between the teachings that are being advanced in schools today, in contrast to the doctrine of the "Great American Melting Pot" that was once taught in civics classes in almost every school.

Jan 6 Riots:  Reese discusses a recent interview with Darren Beattie, with Revolver News, that aired on Tucker Carlson's show this week, in which recent allegations that have surfaced that the FBI may have been far more involved in the events of January 6 than we have previously known.  If true, this could be one of the biggest (and most harmful) stories of this year, if not the last 50 years.  Reese is joined on the show by Jim Furry, a retired former FBI Supervisory Agent, to discuss this very important story.

Check-in with the 15th Circuit Solicitor:  the Hon. Jimmy Richardson, Solicitor for the 15th Judicial Circuit (Horry/Georgetown Counties), joins us for an update from the Solicitor's Office.  We discuss recent death-penalty legislation in Columbia that has brought executions back from an unofficial hiatus in South Carolina, and other information regarding the Solicitor's office, and Richardson's campaign that has just been launched to seek re-election to his post in 2022.

Thanks for listening!  Next week will be the second anniversary of Saturday Morning Coffee, so we'll have some extra-special gifts for our listeners, and we'll have some very special moments planned for the show!  Have a blessed week and be sure to join us next week for more Saturday Morning Coffee!

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, June 12, 2021!

On this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, Host Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the important events of the day, including the continuing crisis along our southern border, the Vice President's continuing insistence on going everywhere BUT the Border, and Texas' recent decision to build its own border wall.  Texas Governor Abbott has announced that Texas will soon be releasing plans for the construction of a border wall paid for by the State, given the federal government's abandonment of the Trump Border Wall along our southern border, and the ongoing crisis there.  We also discuss the Vice President's recent visit to Guatemala and how her message failed to resonate there. 

Rep. Russell Fry Interview:
Rep. Russell Fry (R - Dist 106) from the S.C. House joins us to discuss some of the significant bills that were passed during the recently-concluded legislative session.  We discuss the Second Amendment bills as well as some developments on the death penalty in South Carolina; we also discuss the ongoing debate over "vaccine passports" in the Palmetto State.

Vaccine Passports:
Reese spends a few minutes discussing the idea of vaccine passports, and one thing that is deeply concerning -- college students being required to become vaccinated in order to enroll in our colleges and universities in the Fall, when there are emerging studies that point to significant potential dangers, both for young men and young women, associated with the vaccine.

Red Hats America:
Don Bowne and Coleton Furlow join us in the studio to discuss the Red Hats America, and a very special event coming up on Monday night, June 14, 2021.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, June 5, 2021!  On this episode of Saturday Morning Coffee, Reese Boyd and Producer Glenn Dye discuss the interesting events of the week, the forthcoming "UFO Report" that the DOD is set to release, the historically awful speech that the President gave in Tulsa, Oklahoma this week, which was historically awful, divisive, and full of untruths.  Reese shares a personal experience from his work on one of the many ways this country has for many decades now sought to "make amends" for the historic wrongs and injustices of the past, and how those efforts continue today.  We're joins us in the studio by Shannon Grady, who discusses the Horry County Republican Women's Club, and a great event that they have coming up on July 12, which will be held at the Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse in Myrtle Beach.

Thanks for listening to Saturday Morning Coffee!

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!!

Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for May  8, 2021!  After a brief hiatus, the podcast is back!  Reese and Glenn are back in the studio for another fresh brew of Saturday Morning Coffee.  Reese and Glenn discuss the events of the week, including a Chinese rocket booster that is the size of a five-story building that is set to crash back to Earth on Sunday.  Reese and Glenn offer a Mother's Day reminder for our listeners and we discuss the interesting history of this very special holiday.

Reese notes some of the more bizarre news of the week, including a school shooting by a 6th grade student in Idaho, which thankfully resulted in now fatalities, and a school bus hijacking outside Fort Jackson in Columbia, SC, that thankfully also resulted in no serious injuries.  Reese discusses a rather startling report published in Rolling Stone magazine this week that chronicles no less than 44 fatalities that are either suspicious, or confirmed homicide or suicide, at Fort Bragg, identified in a recent investigation by the magazine.

We give an Election Integrity update and discuss ongoing efforts in Arizona (Maricopa County) and Michigan to get to the bottom of what happened in the November 2020 election.

Paul Gable joins us on the program to discuss a rather bizarre Horry County Council meeting that was adjourned suddenly on Tuesday evening, half-way through the published agenda, apparently as a result of one Council member's request that certain information, which is clearly public information, related to how much the County spends on legal fees, in an effort to prevent that discussion from taking place.

Tom Herron ("Up With America") also joins us on the program to discuss the recent schism within the S.C. GOP, and Lin Wood's campaign to unseat incumbent Drew McKissick as Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party.

Be well and have a great week, and join us next saturday for more Saturday Morning Coffee!  Wherever you are, you can stream us live at Talk945.com
