What this episode covers
00:00 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. 00:28 spacious skies for amber waves of 00:37 For purple mountain majesties. 00:59 share his grace on thee. 01:09 Wait 01:12 from the seeds and and america is back we sure are trying sir we sure are trying let's go the phones gonna tell the georgian greenville how you doing george hr how are you think for having me here is a are you familiar with the uh... law firm colin's lacy is that who he remastered junior works for 01:42 yes sir and condon lacy is known for going after businesses for liquor liability licenses without law to to go out to businesses who sell liquor yeah um... for you know and they're also uh... are trying to use to uh... support our gambling in the state and uh... they also support truckers who get accidents uh... with people who are known to to cause the accident state they defend those truckers 02:09 And on top of that, Henry McMaster Jr. is a former criminal defense attorney for that law firm, and he's their current hospitality lawyer for that law firm. majority of those attorneys who work for that law firm contribute to Democratic candidates. So it's all guilty by association. So let me ask you, if Pamela Evitt chooses Henry McMaster Jr. 02:40 What do you think that's going to do to her campaign? Do you think there's a reason why she's waiting to this late hour to do something like that? Well, of course she is because she knows that if he's chosen as her lieutenant governor, which according to President Trump, he is the pick, that she knows that right now if she comes out with that, that her campaign's over. So naturally she's going to wait and hoping that the poll that she paid for, by the way, 03:09 that has her up, that she hopes that if she gets through that she can pick him. And by that time it's too late because naturally she's going to think that the rest of us are going to vote for her just because the mere fact that she has Republican by her name. But it goes to that message that she's with the Bush establishment, with the disaster establishment, and clearly picking her son just has that donny-see there that South Carolina cannot afford for another, what, 12, 18 years. Literally, that's what it's going to be. And we can't afford that. 03:38 Charlie, we can't. So, I mean, it's just pretty amazing. So, George, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I believe is what I believe. If you're running for governor, you should announce your running mate. 03:55 before early voting starts. Before early voting starts. Because that is literally, I mean, that's a huge decision right there. Don't you guys agree, Lieutenant Governor? I mean, while mainly a ceremonial position, it was under Mark Sanford. Under Mark Sanford, we used to be here in South Carolina, we would actually vote for the governor and the lieutenant governor separately. 04:25 But I believe because Mark Sanford despised Andre Bauer so much, Mark Sanford could not stand Andre Bauer. uh He decided to come along and say, no, everybody's going to run on one ticket. But if that's going to be the case, then I would like to know at a much earlier date, because that's a big thing. It really is. And right now, we only know two people who are running for lieutenant governor. 04:56 with their candidate. Adam Morgan is running with Ralph Norman and Mike Rickenbaugh is running with Alan Wilson. That's it. That's all we know. By the way, we're going to be talking with Mike Rickenbaugh coming up on Thursday at 4.06 and we will be talking with Attorney General Alan Wilson coming up at 4.35 this afternoon. We'll ask him about that. We'll ask him about his pick for Attorney General. But a lot of people are saying, and especially with what Hobart Lewis said in that statement, 05:26 yesterday and I read to you that statement several times yes ...
