What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: All right, welcome back to the program. Let's go to Stephanie in Woodruff. Stephanie, welcome. How are you? Stephanie: I'm good, Charlie. I've got four quick things. Charlie James: Okay. Stephanie: One, your dog. What kind of dogs have you got? I lost my dog, passed away four weeks ago. My heart is broken, and my house is empty. Charlie James: Aw, let me tell you, I don't know if I'd be functioning right now if that happened to... I have Scotch Collies. They were the original breed of Collie. Stephanie: Okay. Okay, that's one thing. Second thing, I don't know about Darlene. I got a lot of questions about that woman. She hasn't answered anything for me. Charlie James: Right. And she needs to. If she wants us to go vote for her, she needs to. Stephanie: Yeah, and she needs to. Third, how's your golf game? Charlie James: Rotten. Stephanie: I shot my age today, baby! I shot 79. Charlie James: Good for you! Mine is... I don't even know what I'm doing with a golf club these days. I have no idea. It's bad, it is really bad. Stephanie: The fourth thing, last thing. I totally love the idea of a national sales tax, except all the CPAs are going to be out of business, aren't they? Charlie James: Yeah, that would not be good for them. You're exactly right! You're right, I appreciate it Stephanie. Thank you, man. You be good. Let's go to Larry in Travelers Rest. Larry, welcome. Larry: How you doing, Charlie? Charlie James: Good, man, what's up? Larry: Appreciate you having Casey on. Charlie James: Yeah. Larry: Nice to hear her views, her opinions, and the direction she would like to go. I mean, it's very clear what we're getting from Darlene. It'd be nice if you get Darlene on here so we understand where her direction's going to be. Charlie James: And that's what I am not understanding. Why the literal radio silence? Why isn't she going on programs? I haven't seen anything from her. There's been no campaigning that we have seen, there's been no appearances. I want to know where she is and what she's doing. Larry: I do too. That's why I think it's great you got Casey on here, I think you should do it more, try to drive that to try to get her to come out of the woodwork and come talk to people. Charlie James: Yeah, I would love to see that. I appreciate it, Larry. Let me go to Dee in Thomassee. Dee, welcome, how are you? Dee: I'm doing good, Charlie. How are you today, sir? Charlie James: I'm really good, man. What's up? Dee: Listen, I just want to say I appreciate so much your interview with Casey Whitner earlier, and you did an excellent job. You asked all the pertinent questions, I think, and it was very enlightening. Now, some of her positions are agreeable. In other words, her positions on addressing the deficit and the balanced budget process... Charlie James: Right. Dee: You know, all sounds good. And I know it's not a popular topic for most people because they get so scared when Social Security is mentioned. But we know that there's got to be some changes made, because they've had their grubby hands in the cookie jar for so long. Charlie James: Yeah. First thing we got to do, I believe, we got to get rid of all the fraud. All of that, do away with that, find the people that are doing it, get them off the rolls because it is absolutely rampant, Dee, I appreciate it. But let's get back to Darlene real quick. Casey Whitner was willing to come on the program. She knows what this program's about, she's listened to it, but she's still willing to get out there and put her message out there. Dr. Annie Andrews came on this program, knew what the program was about, knows that I'm an absolute conservative, and she's willing to put her ideology out there. Now whether or not she'll do it again, I've reached out to her to see if we can get her back on the program. But the big question right now is, why isn't Darlene Graham willing to do that yet? I've reached out, this is several times to th ...
