In this episode we see the South Carolina Primary starting to heat up, which is what this primary is historically well known for doing. We will feature two Donald Trump for President events , one in Columbia centered on Nikki Haley's record on illegal immigration as compared to that of President Donald Trump , and another in Horry County at the Conway Courthouse that centers on Governor Haley's friendly relationship with China. It is an all star cast of speakers from Attorney General Alan Wilson, State Treasurer Curtis Loftus, to Representatives Stuart Jones and Bill Taylor, then when we get to Horry County, we will hear from Representatives Case Brittain, and Val Guest and then Congresswoman Nancy Mace and the State's biggest rising political star Congressman Russell Fry, as they talk Chinese Spy Balloons and Nikki Haley's supposed status as the Chinese's favorite Governor. This episode begins the hard hitting nature for which the South Carolina Primary has become famous and this cycle is just getting started. Then we switch gears, and sides, to cover the South Carolina Democratic Presidential Primary which this year became the first in the election cycle on the Democratic side. It was pretty much a non event, given that after Robert Kennedy Jr decided to run as an independent that turned it into essentially a one man show on their side of the fence. Joe Biden carried 97% of the vote in a state that has always looked out for him. The big question for his campaign, however, was the extraordinarily low turn out, only 200,000 voters statewide. Is that an ominous sign for the race to come? Who knows for sure, but we do know this for sure we are now officially underway in the race for the White House.

The murder of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh in 2021 has been a tale that grasped the attention of the nation. The tragic deaths at their hunting estate in South Carolina Lowcountry were not only widely publicized but have been the topic of many television specials and documentaries. The most recent, “Fall of the House of Murdaugh,” released on Fox Nation, has now stirred the pot by featuring an interview with Buster Murdaugh, the son and brother of the deceased. In a startling revelation, Buster Murdaugh declared that despite his father, Alex Murdaugh, being convicted for the murders, he believes in his father's innocence. This was Buster's first interview, although he did testify during his father's trial. The three-part documentary relied heavily on the broadcast of the trial, video evidence from the investigation, and family photos and videos. During the interview, Buster remained stoic until the end, when he discussed the fond memories of his mother, which he clings to for strength. “Holding onto that is what I do to see me through,” he expressed. Buster detailed his close relationship with his mother and shared that his brother, Paul, was closer to their father. Despite the convictions and the tumultuous media storm, he described his parents' relationship as loving. When asked by host Martha MacCallum if he thinks it's possible his father is guilty, he adamantly stated, “No,” adding, “because I think that I hold a very unique perspective that nobody else in that courtroom ever held. And I know the love that I have witnessed.” Alex Murdaugh's defense, and now his son, have criticized the police for rushing to judgment due to pressure to name a suspect. “I think it's one of those things where you have to do something,” Buster said. “And I think that it was — and that's the option and the route that they decided to go with. There are always two sides of the story.” Despite this, it took more than a year for Alex Murdaugh to be charged in the case. Buster argues that many questions remain unanswered and that the real killer is still at large, which makes him fear for his safety. He hypothesizes that the murderer was seeking revenge on Paul Murdaugh for the 2019 boat crash that led to the death of friend Mallory Beach. Alex Murdaugh, who was sentenced to two life terms and is currently held in an undisclosed prison in South Carolina, had contacted Buster soon after discovering the bodies of his wife and son. Recounting the painful memory, Buster shared, “I walked inside and I saw him, and it was utter silence. It was a — it was a big embrace. He immediately broke down crying. I started crying, and that was what that was. I mean, it's difficult to relive these — these — these tough circumstances.” Throughout the trial, Alex Murdaugh maintained his innocence. An excerpt from his journal, read during the documentary, revealed his mental state during the trial, “I am ready” and proclaimed his innocence. He confessed he could not erase the images of his dead wife and son from his mind. In another entry after his conviction, he mentioned his intention to hold his “head high, shoulders back,” refusing to give satisfaction to those who hate him by appearing defeated. The documentary featured other prominent figures, including defense attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, lead prosecutor Creighton Waters, Attorney General Alan Wilson, and the prosecution's forensic expert Kenneth Kinsey. Yet, despite all the evidence and testimonies, Buster Murdaugh remains convinced of his father's innocence, while Alex Murdaugh tries to survive his life sentences, holding onto the belief that he would not have been convicted if he hadn't lied about not being at the dog kennels that night. The truth remains a mystery, leaving a family torn apart and a nation engrossed in the drama of the fall of the House of Murdaugh. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, recently welcomed Eric Bland, attorney for the family of Stephen Smith, to discuss the ongoing investigation into Smith's death and the implications surrounding the case in the light of the Murdaugh family's downfall. Despite the seeming advancement in the broader Murdaugh saga, Bland revealed that the complexities surrounding Smith's case run deep within the sociopolitical fabric of Hampton County. "In that county, you have two factions," said Bland. "You have the old guard that benefited with Murdoch on how the power was, basically placed and utilized by a small group of people in that county. Then, another third were shut out of the system, um, either were victimized by the Murdaughs or felt that they didn't get a just result by their law firm." The conversation delved into the ongoing narrative of fear and silence surrounding the case, primarily attributed to the influence of the Murdaugh family. Bland hinted that with the Murdaughs' power diminishing, those who previously stayed silent out of fear might be more inclined to speak out. According to Bland, this development aligns with Chief Keel's investigative approach, who believes that "it's just going to take one person to talk and that kind of well will be popped open." Bland's revelations bring to light the dynamics of Hampton County's community, highlighting the interplay of fear, power, and silence that has shaped the Stephen Smith investigation so far. Bland also shed light on a key issue surrounding the investigation: the hasty conclusions made about Smith's death in 2015. He criticized the quick decision to classify Smith's death as a hit-and-run accident, pointing out that it avoided asking more challenging questions that could have revealed a deeper, more sinister narrative. "Stephen's death was solved so quickly in 2015," said Bland. "He was low-hanging fruit. He's not Alex Murdaugh. He's not Paul Murdaugh. He's not Mallory Beach." Bland's comments underscore the need for a more nuanced approach to the investigation, rather than accepting the easiest explanation. In addition, Bland addressed the highway department's premature release of the investigative file. "That really irked Chief Keel that the highway department chose to release the file," said Bland. According to Bland, this misstep could have compromised the investigation's timing, although he remains hopeful that it won't affect the ultimate conclusions. Despite the challenges faced, Bland remains optimistic about the prospects of justice for Stephen Smith. He praised the role of SLED and Attorney General Alan Wilson in bringing accountability to the broader Murdaugh saga and expressed confidence that their momentum would translate into progress in Smith's case. "The attorney general's office is riding a high," Bland said. "And if they can solve the Stephen Smith case, and they believe it was not a hit and run… they look like superstars." This conclusion provides a beacon of hope in the complex, multi-faceted narrative of the Stephen Smith investigation, suggesting that the pursuit of justice remains unwavering, even amidst the intricate webs of power, fear, and silence.

"Stephen's death was solved so quickly in 2015," said Bland. "He was low-hanging fruit. He's not Alex Murdaugh. He's not Paul Murdaugh. He's not Mallory Beach." Bland's comments underscore the need for a more nuanced approach to the investigation, rather than accepting the easiest explanation. In addition, Bland addressed the highway department's premature release of the investigative file. "That really irked Chief Keel that the highway department chose to release the file," said Bland. According to Bland, this misstep could have compromised the investigation's timing, although he remains hopeful that it won't affect the ultimate conclusions. Despite the challenges faced, Bland remains optimistic about the prospects of justice for Stephen Smith. He praised the role of SLED and Attorney General Alan Wilson in bringing accountability to the broader Murdaugh saga and expressed confidence that their momentum would translate into progress in Smith's case. "The attorney general's office is riding a high," Bland said. "And if they can solve the Stephen Smith case, and they believe it was not a hit and run… they look like superstars." This conclusion provides a beacon of hope in the complex, multi-faceted narrative of the Stephen Smith investigation, suggesting that the pursuit of justice remains unwavering, even amidst the intricate webs of power, fear, and silence.

Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, Greenville Women's Clinic, and two physicians have filed suit against the state of South Carolina, Attorney General Alan Wilson and others who would impose the six-week abortion ban that comes in the wake of the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Rove vs. Wade.The new six-week abortion ban prohibits abortion after the detection of a fetal heartbeat and carries felony criminal penalties and civil liability for those performing an abortion.The lawsuit also states “In particular, the Act is an attack on families with low incomes, South Carolinians of color, and rural South Carolinians, who already face inequities in access to medical care and who will bear the brunt of the law's cruelties. South Carolinians face a critical shortage of reproductive health care providers, including obstetrician-gynecologists, and the rate at which South Carolinians, particularly Black South Carolinians, die from pregnancy-related causes is shockingly high.”In response to this lawsuit, SC Attorney General Alan Wilson counters the state's Constitution's Section 10 dealing with privacy issues -- and adopted in 1971 -- dealt with protecting citizens from improper surveillance of electronic devices and computer data banks. He said, ""The committee simply did not intend or understand the provision to extend any further. It certainly did not intend to confer a state constitutional right to abortion."

Alex Murdaugh, a disgraced South Carolina lawyer, was charged with murder Thursday for the deaths of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. During a hunting trip to the family's hunting estate "Moselle," Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were fatally shot. According to his death certificate, Paul, 22, was shot in the chest and head. According to Thursday's indictment, he was shot at close range with a shotgun. According to a person familiar with the investigation, Maggie, 52, was found lying facedown and shot multiple times in the chest and back, according to the indictment. Mr. Murdaugh's lawyers denied guilt in a statement. “Alex wants his family, friends and everyone to know that he did not have anything to do with the murders of Maggie and Paul. He loved them more than anything in the world,” read the statement. “But we know that Alex did not have any motive whatsoever to murder them.” They asked for a trial to begin as soon as this fall, an unusually quick timeline. Attorney General Alan Wilson said the case will be tried "as soon as reasonably possible." In addition to Maggie and Paul's deaths last year, two other suspicious deaths, an assisted suicide attempt, and millions of dollars in missing money have been investigated by the South Carolina lowcountry's most powerful family. His 81 felony charges, mainly related to financial crimes, such as breach of trust, forgery, and money laundering, have kept him in jail since last October in Columbia, South Carolina. For More on that, we go to True Crime Todays PJ. PJ gives us some context on Murdaugh's financial dealings. Murdaugh allegedly defrauded personal-injury clients of at least $8.5 million by taking settlement payments meant for trust accounts and depositing them into his own account. In late June, he was also charged with distributing oxycodone. In many cases, he has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers have blamed many of Mr. Murdaugh's problems on an opioid addiction. State prosecutors gave scant details on the indictments which were handed down by a grand jury in Colleton County, S.C., Thursday morning. Mark Keel, chief of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, said that the investigation has been painstaking and methodical. “Over the last 13 months, SLED agents and our partners have worked day in and day out to build a case against the person responsible for the murders of Maggie and Paul and to exclude those who were not,” Mr. Keel said. “Today is one more step in a long process for justice for Maggie and Paul.” He was the former head of the state trial lawyers' association, founded by his grandfather, which was disbarred earlier this week by the state supreme court. In addition to running one of the state's largest personal injury firms, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather served as district attorneys for the five-county region for nearly a century. Prior to being fired last September, Mr. Murdaugh was a part-time volunteer prosecutor and a partner in the family firm. The Parker Law Group spokesman declined to comment on the indictments. As a result of long-standing relationships with the family, local law-enforcement agencies bowed out of the investigation into Maggie and Paul's murders. It has been a year since state investigators said little about what happened, other than there was no danger to the public. Mr. Murdaugh's lawyers said last fall that despite being identified as a person of interest, his alibi was solid since he was visiting his ailing mother that evening. He admitted liability for the theft of a $4.3 million insurance settlement in a lawsuit filed by the sons of his former housekeeper Gloria Satterfield in May. Ms. Satterfield died a few weeks after falling down the stairs at Moselle. SLED has opened an investigation into her death. Murdaugh has largely been indicted by a statewide grand jury based in Columbia, which investigates conspiracies involving multiple players and spanning jurisdictions. There have been three criminal charges filed against alleged conspirators, including a banker, an attorney and a former client. As a result of Mr. Murdaugh's duping, they have pleaded not guilty. Moselle's sprawling, swampy 1,700 acres are also partly in Hampton County, home of the family firm, so the double-homicide charges were heard in Colleton County. The Murdaughs have held significant power for a century in Colleton, one of the five counties in the 14th Judicial Circuit. Since the local solicitor recused himself last August due to close ties to the family, the state Attorney General's office presented the charges.
