SO AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT HERE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT RAINFALL ENDING AROUND 8:00.

IT’S 604, AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SET A RECORD FOR THE LONGEST JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS OVERNIGHT. USING THE HOUR AND 40 MINUTE SPEECH TO PROMISE CONTINUED SWIFT AND UNRELENTING ACTION IN HIS SECOND TERM. AMY LU IS IN WASHINGTON THIS MORNING TRACKING THE RESPONSE FROM REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS OVERNIGHT. DESTINY AND AARON. LAWMAKERS WHO WE SPOKE WITH ARE SPLIT OVER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ADDRESS, WHO ONLY APPEARED TO FURTHER DEEPEN THAT PARTIZAN DIVIDE BY CLASHING WITH DEMOCRATS AND DEMANDING LOYALTY. I LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATS IN FRONT OF ME, AND I REALIZE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN SAY TO MAKE THEM HAPPY. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BLAMED DEMOCRATS AND THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION OVER RISING COSTS TO AMERICANS. WE INHERITED FROM THE LAST ADMINISTRATION AN ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE AND AN INFLATION NIGHTMARE. HIGHLIGHTING HIS ACHIEVEMENTS LIKE TARIFFS AND ENDING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES. YOU SHOULD BE HIRED AND PROMOTED BASED ON SKILL AND COMPETENCE, NOT RACE OR GENDER. AND SLASHING FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY. WE’VE TAKEN BACK THE MONEY AND REDUCED OUR DEBT TO FIGHT INFLATION AND OTHER THINGS, DRAWING REPUBLICAN PRAISE. THE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT A REVOLUTION IN COMMON SENSE, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SEEING. WHILE DEMOCRATS WARNED OF THE RISK OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ECONOMIC AGENDA AND PUSH TO CHANGE AMERICAN CULTURE, IT’S ALSO AT RISK WHEN THE PRESIDENT PITS AMERICANS AGAINST EACH OTHER, WHEN HE DEMONIZES THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT AND TELLS CERTAIN PEOPLE THEY SHOULDN’T BE INCLUDED. THERE WAS ONE RARE MOMENT OF BIPARTISAN APPLAUSE WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALED THAT UKRAINE WANTED TO RESTART PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA AND SIGN A MINING MINERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE US. IN WASHINGTON, I’M AMY LU, WYFF NEWS FOUR. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NO PUBLIC EVENTS SCHEDULED TODAY. JOINING US NOW IS LINDA ABRAMS, A LOCAL POLITICAL EXPERT. PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE SPOKE FOR AN HOUR AND 40 MINUTES LAST NIGHT. LINDA, WHAT WAS HIS MAIN MESSAGE? WELL, THERE ARE MANY MAIN MESSAGES. THERE WAS A POLITICAL MESSAGE IN THERE FOR SURE, TO SORT OF TWIST UP THE DEMOCRATS AND GET THEM ON EDGE FROM THE VERY START WHEN HE, HIS VERY OPENING REMARKS OF AMERICA IS BACK SET THE POLITICAL TONE FOR THAT MESSAGE. THIS WAS VINTAGE DONALD TRUMP, WHETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR WHETHER YOU DON’T, IT WAS CLASSIC. HE DID HAVE HE DID TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND HE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE THINGS HE’S ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR. BUT HE ALSO THREW IN OTHER THINGS THAT WERE MORE HUMAN INTEREST KINDS OF STORIES. SO THE MAIN MESSAGE WAS, LOOK WHAT I’VE DONE. THIS IS WHAT I’VE ACCOMPLISHED, AND I’M DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU SENT ME TO WASHINGTON TO DO. I’M SURE DEMOCRATS WOULD NOT AGREE WITH THAT, BUT THAT WAS HIS MAIN THRUST LAST NIGHT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE PRAISED WAS ELON MUSK AND HIS WORK SO FAR WITH DOGE. YOU KNOW, REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID, HEY, THIS IS COST CUTTING. THIS IS PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO. DEMOCRATS HAVE SAID PERHAPS IT’S HAPHAZARD WHAT HE’S DOING. HOW DO YOU THINK HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT WILL PLAY OUT AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? WELL, THEY’RE BOTH VERY STRONG PERSONALITIES. AND SO THAT THERE LOOKS TO BE SOME FRICTION SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD. BUT HE AGAIN, DONALD. ELON MUSK BECOMES SORT OF THE WHIPPING BOY FOR DONALD TRUMP. HE TAKES A LOT OF THE HEAT FROM THE DEMOCRATS. AND DONALD TRUMP STAYS AWAY FROM IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO I THINK THAT THAT’S BENEFITED THE PRESIDENT. BUT WHEN YOU START BRINGING UP THE PROGRAMS THAT HE’S FOUND AND THE WASTE IN THE GOVERNMENT THAT JUST REASSURES PEOPLE THAT YES, THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, AND NO ONE HAS REALLY ATTACKED WASHINGTON LIKE THAT IN, YOU KNOW, RONALD REAGAN WANTED TO DO IT BUT COULDN’T DO IT. SO IT’S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT RELATIONSHIP PLAYS OUT AS WE GO ALONG. WELL, TRUMP WAS ALSO SAYING THAT THE U.S. WILL TAKE IN TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHEN IT COMES TO TARIFFS. HE ALSO SAID THAT FARMERS WILL HAVE TO BEAR WITH HIM. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN WHEN IT COMES TO NOT ONLY FARMERS, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING PRODUCE AND GAS AND ALSO ELECTRONICS? RIGHT. I THINK PART OF THE WE WERE WONDERING WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE WAS LAST NIGHT, BECAUSE MOST NEW PRESIDENTS DON’T ADDRESS A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS THIS EARLY IN THEIR TERM. SO WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE? AND THE PURPOSE MAY HAVE BEEN THAT HIS NUMBERS ARE STARTING TO SLIP A LITTLE BIT, THAT THE STOCK MARKET HAS HAD TWO BAD DAYS, AND HE GOES ON TELEVISION TO REASSURE AMERICA THAT THIS IS GOING TO WORK, THAT IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE, MAYBE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. BUT HE NEEDED THAT MESSAGE OUT THERE BEFORE THE STOCK MARKET HAS ANOTHER BAD DAY, BEFORE HIS NUMBERS SLIP A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO I THINK HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT WELL. HE USED BIDEN’S NAME 12 TIMES DURING THAT SPEECH. SO IT WAS A POLITICAL SPEECH THAT HE INHERITED THIS MESS. AND AS HE WOULD CALL IT, AND THAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO TURN IT AROUND. ALL RIGHT, LINDA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. BE WITH US IN JUST A FEW MINUTES TO TALK ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC RESPONSE COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. BUT MEANWHILE, THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY IS LISTING SEVERAL LOCAL FEDERAL OFFICES AS POTENTIAL PLACES FOR SAVINGS. THOSE INCLUDE THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION AND GREENVILLE, THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IN GREENWOOD, THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IN FRANKLIN, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE FARM SERVICE AGENCY IN HENDERSONVILLE. THE LEASES OF THOSE BUSINESSES COULD BE TERMINATED. OH, AND I GOT TO GET MY GARNET AND BLACK READY BECAUSE THE SOUTHEASTERN WOMEN’S CONFERENCE IS TAKING OFF TODAY IN GREENVILLE WITH 16 TEAMS IN TOWN TO PLAY FOR A TITLE. IT’S ALL HAPPENING AT THE BON SECOURS WELLNESS ARENA UNTIL SUNDAY, AND IT BRINGS IN AN ECONOMIC BOOST AS WELL. ALONG WITH BASKETBALL. SOME FUN. ISABELLE MARTIN JOINS US LIVE FROM THE WELL WITH MORE ABOUT THE IMPACT ISABELLE. HEY ERIN AND DESTINY. GOOD MORNING. YOU CAN SEE THIS RIGHT BEHIND ME HERE. THERE’S SOME SET UP ALREADY FOR THE TOURNAMENT THAT WILL KICK OFF LATER THIS MORNING. IT WILL BRING, YOU KNOW, AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE HERE TO GREENVILLE, BUT ALSO DOWN THERE TO MAIN STREET. AND SOME BUSINESSES SAY THEY’RE READY FOR IT TO ALSO SEE SOME REPEAT FACES FROM PREVIOUS YEARS TO PREPARE FOR THIS BUSY WEEK. THEY ARE IN PREPARATION MODE IS WHAT THEY’RE TELLING ME. THIS LOOKS LIKE INCREASING PREP NUMBERS AND STAFF, AS WELL AS SEATING PEOPLE IN ALL AREAS OF THE RESTAURANT, INCLUDING THE PATIO. THE VP OF TABLE 301 HOSPITALITY SAYS HE’S SEEN RESERVATIONS AT HIS RESTAURANT START TO INCREASE ALREADY, AND HE ANTICIPATES THEY’LL KEEP INCREASING OVER THE REST OF THE WEEK. BUT OVERALL, HE SAYS HE IS MOST EXCITED FOR THE EXCITEMENT AND ENERGY THIS WEEK WILL BRING. WHEN THE GUESTS ARE HERE, WE SEE THE UPTICK IN SALES EVERY TIME AND I THINK WE ALSO ANTICIPATE AND ACTUALLY REALIZE A LONG TERM BENEFIT. WE SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN, ESPECIALLY IF IT’S THEIR FIRST VISIT TO GREENVILLE. INVARIABLY, WE SEE THEM AGAIN IN OUR RESTAURANT. MORE THAN 64,000 FANS ATTENDED LAST YEAR’S TOURNAMENT, A JUMP FROM THE 58,000 WHO ATTENDED IN 2023. THE TOURNAMENT BROUGHT IN AN ESTIMATED $16 MILLION LAST YEAR, MAKING IT THE LARGEST EVENT IN GREENVILLE’S HISTORY, AND THE SEC RECENTLY EXTENDED ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. SO IT WILL BE HERE UNTIL AT LEAST 2028. NOW, COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR, WE’LL BREAK DOWN SOME OF THOSE BRACKETS. SO WHEN YOU CAN SEE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE TEAMS PLAY. BUT FOR NOW, REPORTING LIVE IN GREENVILLE, ISABELLE MARAK, WYFF NEWS FOUR. ALL RIGHT, ISABEL, THANK YOU. ALSO HEADS UP FOR DRIVERS FROM GREENVILLE POLICE ALFRED STREET FROM NORTH MAIN STREET TO NORTH CHURCH STREET WILL BE CLOSED OFF TO TRAFFIC TODAY AS TOURNAMENT TRAFFIC INCREASES. THOUGH THEY ARE URGING YOU TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND USE ACADEMY STREET TO ACCESS I-385. WELL, LOTS OF WIND, LOTS OF RAIN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. IT IS A LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR IMPACT DAY AS A COLD FRONT IS PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA RIGHT NOW. AND BOY DOES IT HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS AND SOME LINES OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. SPARTANBURG SOME GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RAIN HEADING TO YOU AS WELL AS LAURENS. YOU ARE NEXT. PELZER, GREENWOOD COUNTY PICKING UP ON SOME RAIN, BUT THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS NOW PUSHING INTO REEDVILLE AND EVEN INTO POLK COUNTY, WHICH WE ARE WATCHING BECAUSE WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING PROMPTED FOR THAT AREA ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO GREENWOOD. THIS LINE HAS SETTLED DOWN A LITTLE BIT. IT’S TRYING TO SPIKE UP AGAIN A AS PREDICTED, WHAT’S HAPPENING IS, ALONG WITH SOME VERY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RAIN, AGAIN, WE’RE GETTING SOME PRETTY STRONG WIND GUSTS 55 60MPH. SO IF YOU LIVE IN 96 AND CROSS HILL, THAT STRONG LINE OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS IS HEADING YOUR WAY. WE’LL GET YOU CAUGHT UP HERE OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT LINE QUICKLY MOVE EAST. IT’S MOVING QUICKLY. BUT LOOK AT THIS BY 8:00, MOST IF NOT ALL OF IT IS HEADING TO THE EAST. AND BY 9:00, MOST, IF NOT ALL OF IT SHOULD BE OUT OF HERE. THEN IT’S ALL ABOUT THE AFTERNOON WIND GUSTS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE’LL BE DONE WITH THE RAIN, BUT WE’RE NOT DONE WITH THE WINDS JUST YET. WE’LL HAVE A L
