    00:00 Let's go to the WRD talk line. talk to Chris in Greenville. How you doing, Chris? Pretty good, Charlie. Have we ever stopped to think that maybe we only got like a handful of politicians that are actually fighting for us up there and the rest of them are just happy with um with all the corruption and stealing and thieving going on? Yeah. Yeah. I really, I really think you're absolutely right. There's just a few, there's an even fewer in Columbia. 00:27 that are actually fighting for us. I mean, there are some good ones there. But even like Senator John Kennedy, I mean, this guy, he talks a good game. But if you look at his voting record, like it's abysmal. Yeah. So you're right. I mean, they get up there. I think it's time for to get Lindsey out of the game too. I agree. I agree. 100%, Chris. I appreciate it. Somebody sent me a text and it was relevant to what Chris was just... um 00:56 talking about, let's see, blah, blah, blah. Charlie, we know Lindsey Graham's an idiot. We all know Tim Scott's an idiot. But here's the thing, it takes a bigger idiot to vote for him, so that says a lot about the mentality of South Carolina. I've lived here for 26 years, and all I've heard for 26 years is people bitching about Lindsey Graham, but he's still here. So who's the bigger idiot? All right, but here's the thing. 01:26 I know those idiots. I do. I know some of those idiots that think Lindsey Graham is actually doing a great job. 01:36 I got one friend down in Charleston and she's fairly influential. Well, I'll tell you this, we had some friends that it was like right before we moved away and came up here, um we were going out with, going to dinner with them and they were Lindsay supporters. The husband was a big Lindsay contributor. 02:04 She was a Lindsay supporter, although not as much as him. And they were happy with Lindsay Graham. So my wife and I get up here to Greenville, I guess we're here for a year and a half. And then we go back down to Charleston for a visit and we're sitting down to dinner with them and all of a sudden they're like, nope, no more money for me. Lindsay gets nothing from me. Nothing, nothing. 02:33 I'm not supporting that guy anymore. So I can't wait to ask them who they vote for in this primary. 02:43 But incumbent senators are hard to beat. The amount of money that you have to have, now first of all, remember this, when you go after the king, you better not miss. 03:00 Lindsey Graham already running ads against Mark Lynch. You've seen them. They're all over the place right now. Lindsey's worried. He always gets worried during the primaries, but he should. That's what primaries are for. So I think everybody needs a primary challenger just to keep them honest. I'm all for that. don't care. don't care. I was okay with Donald Trump having a primary challenger. I didn't care. Keep them honest. 03:30 But Lindsay always gets very conservative right around primary time and the other, what, four and half, five and a half years, is just about as liberal as they come. 03:43 Now pretty sure he's a big fan of John Cornyn, but the money you have to have to unseat an income, and look at what Cornyn spent in Texas, almost $100 million? 03:58 Ken Paxton spent five? That's crazy, man. It really is. That's nuts. That's how much those people, and I hope the people of South Carolina are paying very close attention to that. Take a look at what can be done even when the odds are against you. Even when that guy 04:27 has so much more money than you do. You know, always tell people, people say, oh, how can you beat Lindsey? He's got all that money. I got an idea. Ask Paxton how that happens. We could do this. And if not, well, we're going to have him for six more years. I am no fan of the guy. I think he's a backstabber. I think he's a necessary idiot for President Trump. 04:57 To keep around, unfortunately Trump needs him. 05:02 We saw what happened in Pickens. 05:06 with him practically bein ...

    Calls on WORD Talk line: Lindsey Graham, Save Act, Rhinos in Gov't
    Mar 10 2026
    00:02 All right, somebody said over on the Common Sense Retirement Planning text line, Charlie Graham voted for Thune. I'm pretty sure he did. But I can't be positive. Because I did a little research into that. I wanted to find out who voted for John Thune to be the Senate Majority Leader. And did you know that's a secret vote? It's a secret ballot. I'm to have to kill the camera here real quick over on the stream. Did you know that? 00:31 That is a secret ballot. But here's my thing. In Washington, D.C., I don't think there should ever be a secret ballot. I think every single vote that they take, I don't care if they vote on where to go for lunch. I want to know about it. All right, Jimmy Johns has 80 % of the vote, therefore we're going to Jimmy Johns. I want to know who voted for Jimmy Johns over Subway. 01:02 That's what I want to know. Every single vote. So while we can assume that Lindsey Graham did vote for John Thune, can't be positive. uh Let's see. Let's go to Larry in Greenville. Larry, welcome. Hey, Charlie. How you doing? I'm doing good. What's up, I'd like to some numbers on the number of people in the primaries that even know who they're voting for. 01:32 i guarantee the majority of the people that vote in the primaries even though the turnout is low you know i started people about in the primaries are voting on name recognition you know i think you know what my uh... i'm to have nothing hold up i think more people in the general election don't know than in the primaries 01:53 well i think the primary the general election in less than port the uh... turnout is more important in the general no no no no i'm i'm gonna disagree with you on that one not here in south carolina because whoever wins the primary goes on to win the general 02:14 And I would say, and I appreciate that, would say 90 % of the time. 90 % of the time. So last non-presidential primary, 85, I'm sorry, 86.5 % of the people decided they were not gonna vote. And because of that, we got what we got. Let's go to Esther in Powdersville. Esther, welcome. Oh, thank you. Most United States senators and congressmen make $174,000 a year. Yeah. Correct? Right. 02:43 but yet they spend millions and millions of dollars to get elected. Isn't that interesting? How does that math add up, of the perks for that kind of a job. Oh, well, here's what I do know. We're hearing that John Thune is a big investor in Mitch McConnell's wife's father's shipping business, you know, the Chinese shipping magnate. Oh, there's plenty of perks. Plenty. 03:13 listen up don't let me go to the end of the question i think you're right here uh well this mission that's new in my next question but uh... we just want to come out and ask me the grand did you know the john de 03:27 Well, if you ever had the guts to call this show, I Well, I'd call him up on over. I'll call him up tomorrow and ask his office if he voted for him. All right. That's a good idea. That's a good idea. Everybody's trying to call the office and say, did Lindsey Graham vote for John Thune? Also, why can't they get rid of John Thune like they got rid of Kevin McCarthy? That's a good question. That is a real good question because they could vacate the chair in the Senate. I mean, it only... 03:55 It only, I read this last night, it takes like five senators, five senators have to come up with a resolution to vacate the seat and then they have to get a big vote on it I think that takes two thirds. I know. Okay, this is the other question I want to ask you about. I understand William Cannon's uh response to the slush fund, okay? Right. But this is my response to him. 04:24 Aren't the taxpayers paying for that? Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's our money. That's true. That's true. So if my husband and I are paying for their indiscretions, I want names and I have a right to know who I'm paying for. Yeah. But I also understand that there are a lot of victims there that don't want their identities. Now, w ...
