What this episode covers

00:00 Hi, welcome back to the program. Let's go to the phones and talk to Katie in Malden. Katie, what's on your mind this afternoon? Well, totally off topic by now, but Larry, my hub is over at GE and apparently somebody is coming up with micro and I use that with quotation marks, nucleus that are like designed to power small subdivisions. Yeah, I think that'd be a great idea. 00:30 I don't know how that's going to work out, but it's a thought. Yeah, I mean, if you look at, mean, we got nuclear submarines that, I mean, they can go underwater for years with nuclear power. I think it's a great idea, Katie. Maybe it is the future. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. OK, let me ask you something. If higher taxes isn't quite enough to get you to vote, 00:58 If the conditions of your roads isn't quite enough to get you get out there and vote on June 9th in the primary, what is it going to take? What is it going to take? I today's tax day, we've got uh a House of Representatives, we've got a state legislature. 01:22 that has done practically nothing to help the people of South Carolina. We don't get the tax cuts in the big beautiful bill. They got that bill, what is the name of it? I can't remember. The DOT bill, that's gonna raise your taxes. 01:45 What's it going to take? Maybe this will do it because with all the stuff they've got going on in Columbia. 01:54 want you to listen to this.

Bruce Bannister. 02:52 Bruce Bannister, chair of the Ways and Means Committee, number two in Republican leadership in Columbia, signed on to a House resolution to honor Kamala Harris coming to South Carolina, right here in the upstate. 03:14 That's awesome. I think that's just fantastic. That Bruce Bannister does that. Man, I, oh, if we don't get these people gone, we are doomed. He was a co-sponsor of the resolution. Let's go to Pete Anderson. Pete, welcome. How are you doing, Charlie? I'm good, Thank for my call. Yes, sir. A little hidden tax that we're now seeing. 03:44 The pennies, they no longer have pennies when they give you change. So, yeah, oh, it's two dollars, 13 cents. We're going to round it up to 15. Right. And then they say, would you like to make you would you like to round your dollar up and make a donation?
