What this episode covers

Transcript [00:00 - Intro & National Anthem / Pledge] Crowd: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [Music: "America the Beautiful" plays] Donald Trump (audio clip): America is back! [01:03 - Interview: SC Attorney General Alan Wilson] Charlie James: Yes sir, we are back! Well, we have got one week from today, ladies and gentlemen. Early voting starts in the South Carolina Republican primary for the Senate seat. Let’s go to Attorney General Alan Wilson right now. Attorney General Wilson, welcome to the program. Hope you’re doing well, sir. Alan Wilson: I’m doing very well. I hope you’re doing well also. Charlie James: Absolutely. Now, you are trying to—you’re trying to get these candidates out in front of the people in South Carolina, aren’t you? Alan Wilson: Yes sir. I mean, obviously I just spent the last 13 months putting myself out there in the primaries so that I could get my message for my vision for South Carolina. And while we only have a two-week primary for the U.S. Senate, I’m doing everything I can to provide a forum for the Senate candidates to come share their vision for how they plan to represent South Carolina in the United States Senate and give people around the state an opportunity to hear the candidates up on stage. So, that’s what I’m trying to do over the next few weeks. Charlie James: And this is—this is the old-fashioned stump stumps, right? Alan Wilson: Yes sir. And again, at the end of the day, I’m going to try to let them do most of the talking, but these will not be debates that I’m doing. There will be a separate debate for these candidates. But this will be an opportunity for me to have a conversation with each of the candidates, to ask them open-ended questions that we believe that the people will want to have their ideas on. This could be their views on election integrity, immigration, national security, the military, how judges should be elected or what type of judges they would support, and how they would work with President Trump. These are just some of the things we’ll talk about over the next two weeks. Charlie James: How many stops are planned? Alan Wilson: Right now we have three stops planned. The first one is this Saturday, Saturday, August 1st, at River Bluff High School around 11:30 in the morning. Then Thursday, August 6th in Charleston, I believe that one’s at 6:00. And then Saturday, August 8th, a week from this Saturday, in Florence, South Carolina around 11:00 AM. Now, we do plan to do an Upstate forum, probably in the area of your listeners, during the runoff. Charlie James: Okay. And there’s going to be a runoff, because what, we’ve got nine people running for this office? Yeah. So, do we have anybody confirmed? Has Darlene Graham agreed to be in any of the stump stops you guys are putting on? Alan Wilson: We have not heard from her yet, but again, she just had a funeral yesterday and a funeral today—she’s burying her brother this afternoon in Pickens County. So we’re trying to be very polite about that. But we have about half a dozen candidates who have reached out and confirmed they will attend these forums. Charlie James: Okay, because people need—like I said, a week from today early voting starts. Well, let’s change the subject here real quick, because we saw testimony today on Capitol Hill that just blew everybody’s mind. You and other Attorneys General wanted answers from Anthony Fauci. Did you get them today? Alan Wilson: Well, I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t had a chance to read the testimony because I was in a three-hour funeral earlier. Charlie James: There was no testimony! He took the Fifth on everything! Alan Wilson: Yeah, no, that’s right. But you know, again, these are questions we’ve been asking for the last two years, and hopefully one day we’ll get to the bottom of it. Charlie James: Yeah, maybe we will. ...
