What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: All righty, let's hit these phones on the Ingles Market Talk Line with Dr. Skinny McKinney in Greenwood. How you doing, Skinny? Skinny McKinney: I'm doing well. How are you doing? Charlie James: I'm great, man. What's on your mind? Skinny McKinney: Well, you know that Darlene Graham, I guess she feels like, uh, she don't have to do no politicking up here in this area here because we don't have no other choice but to, uh, vote for her, because who wants a Democrat? Charlie James: Well, I'm telling you what, with everybody that's talking about writing in Ralph Norman... Skinny McKinney: Yeah, that's right. Charlie James: She needs to. She needs to do some politicking up here. Skinny McKinney: But the fine, only bad thing about that, we write in Ralph Norman, uh, that's going to offset the Republican vote, you know? Charlie James: Yeah, could water it down. Could give Annie Andrews, uh, some, some sort of a, a workaround there. I appreciate it, Skinny. Let's go to Phil in Taylors. Phil, welcome. Phil: Thank you, Charlie, for taking the call. I have a couple points. Um, first, um, Darlene Graham, you know, there's a lot of people, she, she definitely needs to market herself or at least try to offer to the 12 counties that voted for Ralph Norman that why we should vote for her, and at least make an appeal to reach across the aisle to get these voters back. Charlie James: Right. Phil: A lot of people are going to protest by not voting at all, and the other people are going to write in Ralph Norman. This is a ticket for disaster. She has to do this, and there is no option on that. I mean, really, I, I really don't see a really good outcome with this. This is an ideal situation for Annie Andrews. And the other point I was going to make with regard to all these globalists, the, the Tim Scotts, the John Thunes, the John Cornyns, the ones that really work against the conservatives, the real conservatives—these are globalists, the Bush-era globalist type of people. Charlie James: Yeah. Phil: And, and, I never hear anything in any of the conservative podcasts that I kind of like to hear. Only your station and the, and talk radio locally here puts a, puts a light on that. And, and it's really frustrating. Fox News doesn't talk about any of these things, which are quite remarkable. And, and, uh, that, that's a big frustration, and I don't know how this information ever gets out. Um, OAN, I don't know what they do, Newsmax. I don't know what your thoughts are on that, because really, this is big stuff, and, and nobody else is knowing about it. Charlie James: It's huge! And they just ignore it. That is what is so frustrating. And you know what? You know, we get all these people, people say, "Charlie, you need a bigger signal. You need, you need to get translators down in, in the Lowcountry and all over the state." I wish we could do that, um, because I guarantee you, if what we say and what we play on this radio station, a lot of people in South Carolina have never even heard. Never even heard. So, but you're right about that, Phil. I mean, that, that clip from Mike Acaster, talking about how nobody reads any of the bills in, in Columbia. I guarantee you the people in, in the radio audience in Columbia, they don't know about that. People over there in Myrtle Beach, down in the Lowcountry, they don't hear about that stuff. Let's go to Brian in Gaffney. Brian, welcome. Brian: Hey, Charlie. Just like, uh, Ken Paxton in, in Texas, how the Republicans aren't helping him and thinking, "We're going to show them in Texas, they're going to get a Democrat." Well, I feel the same way. We in South Carolina are going to show them up in D.C., they're going to get a Democrat, because, uh, I am not voting ever for Graham. And, uh, I don't care if Annie Andrews gets in. I'll probably write in Ralph Norman, but it's the same thing goes around. Just like they're doing to Texas, I'm going to do to them, and I think the rest of us li ...
