What this episode covers

00:00 Look, nobody is questioning Lindsay's... 00:06 You know, again, his vacation, thank you, Jake. Nobody's questioning his vacation. He's got the right to go on vacation. I wish it would be back in Washington working. I really do. And nobody's making any inferences about an aerial and flounder light and sound bubble wand. could be myriad reasons that he would have one of those walking around his, yeah. mean, nobody's questioning that. 00:36 What I am questioning is, why isn't he at work? Because you see, Lindsay's out there talking about this, we gotta end sanctuary. Well, you're not gonna, no, you're not, Lindsay. You're not gonna end that. All of these things that are in your campaign ads, those are not going away. Because the only way they can go away is if your buddy John Thune 01:04 does away with the filibuster. That's the only way. 01:10 And you're not going to do that. So all of that is just, it's like the teacher in Charlie Brown. That's it. Because you can't do anything. Wow. We got more news for you. um Here in South Kackalacki, a former governor has just decided that he's going to run for the first congressional district. 01:40 to take Nancy Massey. Yes, the love gov. Governor Mark Sanford filed this morning, because today is the last day, was the last day to file, to run for elected office. uh What do they call it? Partisan offices here in South Carolina. And Mark Sanford decided that he was going to run for the first congressional district. So did all the paperwork this morning. 02:11 This is a seat that he's held twice during his political career. This is from Fitznews. Sanford's decision, formalized just hours before the closure of South Carolina's candidate filing period, confirmed ah his intentions. Sanford had been considering challenges against Lindsey Graham. ah Sanford, from Dale, South Carolina, served three terms in the U.S. Congress from 95 to 01. And ah he is what they call a fiscal conservative. 02:42 But I know for a fact that he's also what they call an anti-Trump. 02:47 He does not like Trump. would be another Thomas Massey. 02:55 He would fight against every piece of legislation, any spending, and he would side with the Democrats on this. And I remember during the Trump administration, when he, in response to something that Trump had done, I forget what it was, actually went to the New York Times, he didn't go to the state, he didn't go to the Post and Courier, he didn't go to any newspapers in South Carolina. He went to the New York Times. 03:23 because he knew they would be more than willing to publish his little op-ed and it spoke out against Trump. So then he decided he was going to run against Trump as president. So had him on the show when I was down in Charleston and I asked him, I was like, is this a real presidential campaign or is it just a symbolic presidential campaign? And he admitted to me that it was just symbolic. 03:53 He really had no intentions of uh becoming president of the United States, but he could have. was like, it's like Sanford was being fast-tracked. 04:03 to the presidency. And then of course the ill-fated hike 04:12 that he took on the Appalachian Trail. We all remember that when he wasn't on the Appalachian Trail.

His mistress Maria Balin Shapur was back in 2009. 04:34 when Jake Notch told reporters that Sanford had been missing for four days and his security detail had no idea where he was. In fact, I talked to one of his members of his security detail, off the record, of course, so I won't mention his name, but he said he ain't on no Appalachian Trail. anyway, uh that's Mark Sanford.
