What this episode covers

Transcript [0:00 - Charlie James]: Well, Darlene Graham was on with Paul Hannity last night on his show—I believe it was last night. I want you to listen to what she said. Here we go. [0:11 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: The President again saying, "I hope Darlene does this," meaning "I hope you will get..." And here's the filing deadline for people that don't know, and this is—these are just the laws of South Carolina. The filing begins tomorrow. I think you have a week? [0:30 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: Mhm. Yes. [0:32 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: And by that time, the funerals won't even have taken place. [0:36 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: I know. [0:37 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: And then the President's putting an ask on you, we'll put it that way. It's a lot of pressure. [0:43 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: It is a tremendous amount of pressure. [0:47 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: Tell me what's going through your head about it and where do you stand now? [0:50 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: I've been—I'll continue to say, I've been praying a lot. Talking to my family. But with the love of my family, with the support of his staff... I know I'm a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey. He cared about the people of this state. I've worked for almost 30 years for the people of this state. [1:13 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: I want to talk about that in a minute. [1:14 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. [1:20 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: Will it be difficult? Yes, absolutely. So, are you inclined to get in, or have you even made a final decision? [1:27 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: I've made a decision. [1:29 - Sean Hannity (Clip)]: You're in. [1:30 - Darlene Graham (Clip)]: I'm in. [1:31 - Charlie James]: She's in! She's in! Even though we were told she was just going to be—Now listen, I know a lot of you are like, "Charlie, how can you...? This woman hasn't even buried her brother yet." No, well, I'm sorry, she's the one that jumped into the ring. She has jumped into the ring. Now we have to be able to separate these two people: grieving sister and political candidate. We can feel all of the sympathy in the world for the grieving sister. But we can also ask questions of the candidate. What do we know about her? Nothing. Absolutely nothing, other than she had a conversation with President Trump, and Trump decided to endorse her. For what reason? I don't know. I don't know what was said in that conversation. So, here's the thing: We're going to have Lindsey Graham's funeral on the 28th and 29th. Now, I've reached out to Lindsey Graham's chief of staff, Taylor Reidy. I've not heard anything. I wanted to get Darlene Graham on the show. No reply as of yet. But then again, I've also reached out to Russell Fry twice with no reply. But here's my big fear. Here's my big fear, and see if this is founded: We're going to have the funeral on the 28th and the 29th. That's only going to give literally two weeks until the election. Two weeks until the election! My fear is they're going to try to hide her. That's my fear. They're going to try to run simply off the name, simply off the sympathy vote. And I'm telling you, folks, I feel all the sympathy in the world for her, but we got a senator we need to elect. We're talking about the future of this country. How is she going to be making appearances? Is she going to be calling in? What's she going to do for two weeks? 'Cause I think they're going to hide her between now and the funerals. Let's go to Roger in Taylors. Roger, welcome. [3:32 - Roger (Caller)]: Mr. Charlie... Yeah. Um, I'm not going to vote for her. I've got my mind made up down to two people, but I still need to debate with my brother and come up... But listen, Charlie, I got a survey. You were talking the other day about nobody's surveyed you. Well, I got a text—and I could give you the number or give it to your call screener—it says, "Hi, Sam, with a quick anonymous survey from The Research Group. If th ...
