Charlie James reviews SC Senate candidate rules and predicts runoff leaders.

What this episode covers

Charlie James: All right, actually I misspelled a few minutes ago—they did away with the standing filibuster back in 1975 because the senators... the senators, they just didn't want all that physical stress. Well, I'm sorry. Sorry! I think if you're going to get up there and you're going to block a bill, you should undergo some physical stress. And if not, get somebody younger in there. How about that? You know, put on your... put on your compression socks, stand up there, don't lean on anything, don't go to the bathroom... that's it! You talk until it's over with, right? That's the way I think things should happen in this country. "Charlie, please explain again why Darline Graham was not disqualified from running because of her voting in the primaries." Well, because she has voted in the primaries. She has voted in the primaries, and that... she has fulfilled the requirements. There's no waiver needed, no waiver needed for Darline Graham. They've... they've got all... look, they've got all the access. They got all the access to when... not necessarily who people voted for, but they know when you voted. And the SC GOP, they've got that information. And initially, we heard that she had just voted in the last primary, and then—I think it was back in '24 in a special election that was not a statewide primary—but digging further into her voting record, it appears that she has fulfilled those requirements. So that's... that's no longer a thing. So now we've got... we got, well, as of this morning, we had: Duke Buckner Danny Lee Ford II Russell Fry Darline Graham Mark Lynch Mark McBride Darius Mitchell Clark Neilson Ralph Norman Glenda Gail Parker Mark Sanford Samuel Shepard ...running for Senate. As of this afternoon, it appears that three of these people are not eligible to run, number one being Danny Ford II. Now, you remember during the Ag Commissioner race, we kept hearing that Danny Ford did not vote for Donald Trump. And people were like, "How... how do you know? How do you know that?" Because there was no evidence that he voted in those elections. That's how people knew that. So I think he's gone. Darius Mitchell is gone; he does not meet the voting criteria. And Clark Neilson is gone because he doesn't even live in South Carolina! So, there you go. "Charlie, didn't Drew McKissick say on your show that she didn't fulfill the primary voting requirements?" He did not say that on my show, but he questioned whether or not that was true. I think this might have been before they did some more digging. So, "Charlie, if the South Carolina GOP wants her in, eligibility doesn't matter." Well, yeah. But anyway, listen, even if she didn't... even if she didn't meet the voting requirements, do you think the Executive Committee of the South Carolina GOP was going to deny her? The sitting s- ... the, first of all, sitting senator from South Carolina? Second of all, Lindsey Graham's sister? Uh, no. It would... that was... that was never even a question about whether or not she was going to be eligible to vote—at least it wasn't with me. I... I knew that was going to happen. So yeah, she is in. "Charlie, if you want to see Darline Graham anywhere, camp outside Sean Hannity's studio. That's the only place..." I know. I know. "Charlie, what experience does a politician require? How effectively they launder money?" Well, that's a good question. But again, it's not the inexperience that bothers me. First of all, what really gets me is the entitlement, right? I mean, it's the entitlement of this. Now, I want to know... I would love to know what took place, because when she was appointed, everybody's understanding was she was not going to run for this seat. She was just... she was a placeholder. But then she had a meeting with Donald Trump. So I would love to know: A) What Donald Trump saw in her, and B) What agreement was made between Donald Trump and Darline Graham. I know the SAVE America Act probably had a great ...
