Spring is Springing. Nancy Mace has filed to run for SC Governor

00:00 And welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. What a beautiful Tuesday we've got going on out there. However, I will say that I do believe everybody right now is walking around in shoes that have some form of yellow on them. I would imagine as pollen season is now. Here's the thing. Pollen season is now just starting. As we say here in the South, 00:30 It's fixing to get ready. It's fixing to get ready to be really, really heavy. It's already pretty heavy out there. I know you folks like me that suffer from seasonal allergies. And my seasonal allergies are basically January through December. I'm allergic to something all year, um but it uh is absolutely, and I'm, yes, JJ said you're allergic to Democrats. Yes, they make me break out in hives. uh 00:58 is what they do but if you are suffering from seasonal allergies, man, I feel for you this time of year. And this is just going to be the first dump. Because remember, we always get the spring dump and then we get the later dump uh in the summer and that's going to be happening as well. But good news is we've got a lot of things blooming out there including those horrible Bradford pears that Clemson is now going to trade you. 01:26 Well, they said that they will trade you uh several uh indigenous trees for one Bradford pear. Get rid of those things. They're absolutely horrible. there you go. So spring is springing all around us right now. Well, Nancy Mace has done something that everybody was wondering when she was going to do it because filing ends? Good grief. Are we already there? 01:55 Filing for public office in South Carolina, I believe, ends... When is it? Is it the end of the month? March 31st at noon? I believe that's it. So Nancy Mace has officially filed to run for governor of South Carolina. So now we got Nancy Mace, Alan Wilson, Josh Kimral, Pamela Evitt, we've got Ralph Norman, and we've got Rod Reddy. 02:22 who has also announced that he is running for governor. I don't know how big of a splash he's really going to make, but it looks like the field is now pretty much set in the governor's race here in South Carolina. And this is going to be extremely interesting to watch because what I'm looking for in a candidate, the number one thing as far as governor is concerned, governor's office is concerned, I'm looking for somebody that number one is going to be visible. 02:53 That would be awesome. mean, for the past almost eight years, we've had over eight years now, we've had a governor. 03:03 that has refused to just about answer any question. The only time we see Henry McMaster anywhere is when a new company is coming into town. 03:16 or oh some ribbon cutting, or we get some sort of a natural disaster. That's basically the only time we see Henry McMaster. So I would like a governor that's a lot more visible to the people that actually elect them. Number two, I'm looking for someone that is going to get in there and fight the legislature on some of these bad bills. That's what I would like to see him. Speaking of bad bills, um 03:44 We've got the bad bill sheet coming up at 4.06 this afternoon. We'll tell you some of the bad legislation that they're trying to pass in the House of Representatives. are a couple of good bills because we got primaries coming up. So they're going to try to lean a little to the right over in the state legislature. But I want a governor that's out there. I want to see them. I'm not just talking about getting out there and just praising us to 04:12 business and industry trying to get them to come here. I want somebody who's going to get out there and be a real champion for this state, the people of this state, the taxpayers of this state. That's what I'm looking for. So I want somebody who's going to fight against the bad legislation that's coming out of Columbia. That's number one and number two. Actually, you can flip those. Number one, I want to see a fighter. Number two, I want to see that ...
