What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: And welcome to the program. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just unbelievable. Unbelievable. If Darlene Graham wanted to be an international name, ladies and gentlemen, she could have picked no better way whatsoever than what happened last night. I mean, I was sitting there watching this. We'll get to that in just a second. Welcome. It is the first day of early voting here in South Carolina for the Senate runoff. Polls are going to close at 5:00, that's a little under two hours from now. Early voting hours are 8:30 to 5:00 today, tomorrow, and Friday. I would like to know, if you went out there and early voted today, what were the crowds like? I really would love to know. You can send it over on the Common Sense Retirement Planning text line, 800-905-0989. I would love to know how that is, and when are you going to vote? My wife and I are going to McAlister Square tomorrow and we're going to vote. Now, where do you vote? Go to scvotes.gov. scvotes.gov. Now, are they 100% accurate on this? Not always, no, but that's your best bet right now. That's what I can tell you. Somebody just sent me a text, said they just voted and it was slammed. Some workers are saying that it's been crazy all day. That's great news, maybe not so great news for Darlene Graham. But we'll get to that in just a second. I know I'm keeping you in suspense here. I know I'm doing that. But let's start off with this debate last night over on Newsmax with one of the moderators, the lead moderator there, Greta Van Susteren. She made a comment that I mean, literally, because we taped it because I didn't get home until after 7:00 and I wanted to watch the whole thing. So we taped it and watched it on replay. She started out some of her questioning with something that I was like, wait a minute, did she just say that? Did Greta Van Susteren just say that? This is how she started things off. Listen to this. Greta Van Susteren (Clip): Gas prices are record high. Americans... Charlie James: Wait a minute. I'm sorry, what did you say? Greta Van Susteren (Clip): Gas prices are record high. Charlie James: No, they're not! Gas prices are not record high. Record high was under Joe Biden. Record high was under Barack Obama. These aren't record high gas prices. That's a bunch of BS. I wish one of the candidates would have stood up and said, "Hey, we don't have record high gas prices right now, sorry." So, there you go. All right, let's go to the phones and talk to Breetlove right now. How are you? Randy, how you doing, man? Randy (Caller): Good, how are you? Charlie James: I'm great. What's up, man? Randy (Caller): I watched the debate and I was shocked that she claimed she had been observing her dead brother's career, but yet knew nothing about foreign policy. Charlie James: Yeah, that was interesting for me too, Randy. And what got me about the whole thing—and yes, we'll get to the comment in just a second—what really got me about that whole thing, she used her final closing arguments to slam Ralph Norman, completely. Now, I thought there was some agreement with, you know, decorum and mutual respect. Well, she threw that right out the window pretty quickly. Okay, let's get to the comment. This was the comment that has now made Darlene Graham an international figure, ladies and gentlemen. Listen. Darlene Graham (Clip): I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on national security. I'm not that informed on national security, so... But I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. I'm not a polished politician up here. National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise, but I do support the military. Charlie James: Okay, "not my thing." Okay, so now wait a minute. Hold on, hold on. Because see, I'm a nuanced guy. I like to look at the nuance there. I like to maybe see things and hear things that the ordinary, casual viewer and listene ...
