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. 00:23 you 00:27 For spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties. 00:59 share his grace on thee. 01:13 America is back. Yes sir and we are getting closer and closer and closer. Time to keep up the pressure y'all. Let's go to Brad in Seneca. Brad, welcome. Hey, thanks for taking my call. Yes sir, what's up? My wife and I relocated to Seneca in 2020. 01:45 Yeah. 02:09 wish, and maybe somebody could explain that a little better than I could, I don't think it was anything that just happened overnight. mean, but we've always been fairly corrupt. I mean, you can go back and you can look at historically oh our state legislature because they are so strong. You see, here in South Carolina, we don't have a strong mayor, and I'm not talking about McMaster, I mean the mayor's office. So the state legislature basically runs everything. And with all of that, you get a lot of corruption going on. 02:36 And I don't know when exactly it happened, Brad. Maybe some folks can enlighten us. I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. Let's go to Bob in Greer. How you doing, Bob? Yeah, hi, Charlie. Thanks for taking my call. I think you'll like this analogy. I just want to comment on James Carville declaring war. 02:57 Yeah, one to refine your analogy. You compared this to fighting the dragon. But if you take a look at the picture of Carville, I think it's closer to fighting Voldemort. I don't know. Yes, yes, I have. Or Gollum. Yeah. Yeah, he could be a doppelganger for Voldemort. Absolutely. You're right. I mean, just I don't know. Evil does have a face. It does. And you can see it. right, Henry McMaster. Now, I'm going to read this to you because this is what Governor 03:26 Henry Disaster said today, the US Supreme Court upheld South Carolina's current congressional map in 2024. Now, he leads off with that. And he leads off with that for a reason. See, Henry doesn't write these things. I don't even know if he knows what Twitter is. So they got together at the governor's mansion. 03:54 and they drafted this and that was how they led off with this statement. There's always more to it, folks. Whenever something comes from the White House or the governor's mansion, understand words mean things, as the late great Rush Limbaugh used to say. So Henry McMaster starts off, the US Supreme Court upheld South Carolina's current congressional map in 2024. Oh. 04:21 In light of the court's most recent decision on the Voting Rights Act, it would be appropriate for the General Assembly to ensure that South Carolina's congressional map still complies with all the requirements of federal law and the U.S. Constitution. So now you're seeing people and people are sending me this these links to all these people that go, Oh, look, Charlie, uh Governor McMaster is calling for no, he's not. No, no, he's not. 04:51 That's not what he's doing. He's not calling for this. He's not calling for this. First of all, he's calling the map legal according to the Supreme Court. Then he says it would be appropriate for the General Assembly to ensure, make double sure, that South Carolina's congressional map still complies with all the requirements of federal law and the U.S. Constitution. Well, what are they going to do? 05:20 What do you think? What do you think our state legislature is going to do? First of all, he didn't call on them to do anything. He didn't. He said, hey, it'd be appropriate. Well, that'd be appropriate. That'd be nice. I don't even I don't I don't even think he's saying it would be nice. Yeah, they could do that if they wanted. Yeah, they don't have to. But if they did decide to do that, it'd be appropriate. OK, yeah, if something weird happened in Colombia. 05:51 and make sure it still complies with the requirements ...
