On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for March 14, 2026: the House has passed its $15.4 billion budget as well as an income tax reduction bill; the Senate continues to debate the hemp THC drink regulation bill; Congressman Jim Clyburn announced his bid for an 18th term; and more!
Washington state Democrats have passed a new 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires, the first income tax in the state's history. The measure now heads to the governor's desk and represents a major shift in a state long known for its lack of personal income taxes.But the policy debate is already colliding with economic reality. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has announced he is relocating to Florida, a state with no income tax. That move underscores a longstanding pattern in American economics: high earners often respond to aggressive tax policies by moving to lower-tax jurisdictions. If more states pursue similar policies, the migration of wealthy taxpayers to places like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee could accelerate.The broader question is what happens if that migration significantly shrinks the tax base in high-spending states. European countries experimented with wealth taxes for years before many rolled them back after wealthy residents simply moved elsewhere. Washington may now be testing whether the same dynamic will play out inside the United States.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

Senator Ron Johnson is pushing for a vote to begin debate on ending the legislative filibuster, at least in its current form. The immediate catalyst is the House-passed SAVE America Act, which focuses on citizenship-based voter registration and voting ID requirements.Republicans do not currently have the 60 votes needed to pass the legislation under existing Senate rules. That reality has revived calls to weaken the filibuster by shifting to a “talking filibuster,” forcing senators who want to block legislation to continuously hold the floor rather than simply signaling opposition.Institutionalists in both parties warn that such a move could be the beginning of the end for the Senate's 60-vote threshold entirely. Supporters argue the change is inevitable anyway and that the current rules simply prevent major legislation from passing. Either way, the vote could force senators to go on record about how much they value the chamber's traditional rules.Jim Clyburn and the Persistence of IncumbencyFinally, South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn has announced that he plans to seek reelection at age 85. First elected in 1992, Clyburn remains one of the most influential figures in Democratic politics and a central leader within the Congressional Black Caucus.His decision highlights the enduring power of incumbency in American politics. While voters and activists often debate generational change, long-serving lawmakers frequently retain strong political machines and local loyalty that discourage serious primary challenges. For now, there is little sign that anyone in Clyburn's district is preparing to challenge him.Taken together, these developments offer a snapshot of the current political landscape: states experimenting with new tax policies, the Senate wrestling with its own rules of power, and long-time incumbents continuing to dominate the institutions they helped shape.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro on Iran and Elections00:08:47 - Iran Breakdown with Ryan McBeth01:07:54 - Update01:08:14 - Washington State Tax01:09:53 - Filibuster01:13:30 - Jim Clyburn01:14:37 - Oscar-Nominated Movie Talk with Jada Yuan02:38:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) who announced this morning that he would seek an 18th term in Congress at the age of 85, amid reports that he was planning to withdraw in hopes of handing his seat to his daughter. Also, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) reversed his opposition to ending the filibuster in the Senate in order to secure passage of the Save America Act, claiming the decision was not affected by his hope for President Donald Trump's endorsement in the upcoming run-off election against his challenger, State Attorney General Ken Paxton, for the Republican Senate nomination in Texas. Then, Peter Berkowitz of the Hoover Institution joins the guys to discuss today's announcement by Iran's new supreme leader that the Straits of Hormuz will remain closed, last night's statement by President Trump that the Iran War had already been won, and the future of the world energy market. Next, they talk about today's article in The Washington Post concerning Sen. Markwayne Mullen (R-OK) which reports that he once hired a felon who illegally stored guns at one of Mullins' facilities. Mullen is slated to testify before Congress next week seeking confirmation as Secretary of Homeland Security. Plus, a new music video featuring the AI generated character Tilly Norwood has been released encouraging Hollywood to embrace artificial intelligence, just in time for this year's Oscar weekend.

Voter ID is racist… again. This time, California Governor Gavin Newsom says requiring proof of citizenship under the SAVE Act echoes Jim Crow because people might not know where their birth certificate is. Tara puts that claim to the test — with a stopwatch.
Democrats are openly calling to abolish the Department of Homeland Security — not just ICE. Meanwhile, after $175 billion to defend Europe, allies are cutting deals with China and denying U.S. requests. Tara connects the dots on border policy, midterms, and a global realignment few are talking about.

Rep. James Clyburn joins Margaret Hoover to talk about “The First Eight,” his recent book about the eight Black South Carolinians who served in Congress before him and why their stories still matter.During reconstruction after the Civil War, South Carolina sent eight Black men to Congress. After the last of them left office in 1897, it would be 95 years before the ninth–Clyburn–was elected in 1992. Clyburn explains why there was such a long gap and why he believes the segregationist past presents a cautionary tale for America today.He criticizes President Trump and the MAGA movement, and he warns that the Supreme Court could disenfranchise Black voters if it further weakens the Voting Rights Act.Clyburn, who is 85 and in his 17th term in Congress, reflects on his legacy, offers a message for the next generation of Democrats, and expresses hope for the nation's future.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, The Tepper Foundation, Peter and Mary Kalikow, Pritzker Military Foundation, Cliff and Laurel Asness, Katharine J.

The Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, released a new survey this week in an attempt to figure out who, exactly, is a Republican these days. The takeaways? Newer Republican voters are more conspiratorial, more likely to be racist and antisemitic, and more likely to support the use of political violence. And they are pulling the GOP in their direction. This trend worries South Carolina Democratic Representative Jim Clyburn, who has written a new book, “The First Eight,” about the eight Black South Carolina Congressmen who preceded him in office. All of them were Republicans at a very different time for the party. Representative Clyburn became the ninth Black Congressman from the state when he was elected in 1992 – nearly a century after the last of the First Eight served in office. We spoke with Representative Clyburn about why it felt so urgent to write this book now.And in headlines, the Supreme Court allows Texas to use its gerrymandered Congressional map in the midterms, President Donald Trump holds a photo op to misleadingly tout peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and new data reveals the dramatic scale of our affordability crisis.Show Notes:Check out The First Eight – https://tinyurl.com/yc78s4yyCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tara exposes the growing political chaos in South Carolina, where Congressman Ralph Norman is leading the charge against what he calls “fake Republicans” protecting Democrat strongholds. As Donald Trump publicly pressures GOP leaders to redraw Jim Clyburn's gerrymandered district, state leadership continues to ignore him — and voters are starting to notice. Tara breaks down how South Carolina's Republican establishment has quietly aligned with Clyburn and the Democrats, raising money to crush real conservatives and preserve power in Columbia. Plus — a look at the bizarre “fair Republican” comments from Clyburn himself that have everyone talking.
Tara dives into a whirlwind of national and local stories shaping politics, justice, and the economy. From the impending execution of triple-murderer Steven Bryant via firing squad in South Carolina to the state GOP's gerrymandering debacle with Ralph Norman challenging Jim Clyburn's protected district, no stone is left unturned. Tara also breaks down Trump's controversial H-1B visa comments, corporate job cuts hitting over 1.15 million this year, and how foreign worker policies may be depressing wages for American workers. Plus, a rare geomagnetic storm could make northern lights visible across the South, adding a cosmic twist to this jam-packed episode. Justice, politics, and the solar storm – South Carolina is heating up on every front. In this episode, Tara tackles an extraordinary mix of stories from justice, politics, and science. First, the South Carolina Supreme Court denies Steven Bryant's last-minute appeal, clearing the way for his firing squad execution — a rare, high-profile death penalty case drawing national attention. She then unpacks the political chaos in Columbia, where GOP leadership has ignored Trump's call to redraw Jim Clyburn's gerrymandered district, with Ralph Norman campaigning to expose the state legislature's liberal-leaning, RINO behavior. Tara also dissects Trump's recent H-1B visa remarks amid soaring corporate layoffs, arguing that foreign worker policies are harming American engineers and wages. Finally, she previews a rare geomagnetic storm potentially producing visible northern lights across the Southeast, showing how even the skies are part of this week's news spectacle.

In this episode, we dive into the controversial censorship practices of the Biden administration, exploring why mass suppression of information is deemed acceptable when Democrats do it, yet criticized when others voice opposing views. We examine the case of Jimmy Kimmel, the mass removal of posts during the pandemic, and the experiences of leading scientists whose insights were silenced despite being accurate. Featuring commentary on Jim Clyburn's defense of these actions, Mark Zuckerberg's account of government pressure
Low IQ congressman Jim Clyburn says Google's censorship of conservatives during Covid was okay because it was a pandemic, but that Disney's business decision to sideline Jimmy Kimmel for a few days is clear weaponization.

A deep dive into the upcoming "No Kings" protest in Spartanburg reveals what the host calls a deceptive grassroots image masking deeper ties to the Upstate South Carolina Democratic Socialists of America—and possibly beyond. With fiery rhetoric, the segment connects the event to a broader narrative of socialist infiltration, Democrat collaboration, and cartel-linked voter manipulation. From a controversial Instagram photo with Rep. Jim Clyburn to allegations of illegal immigrant-driven political schemes, the commentary builds to a national-level accusation: that recent cartel money laundering raids in L.A. struck the heart of a shadow operation funding Democrat campaigns. A hard-hitting exposé on political theater, media silence, and what the host warns could be the makings of a socialist dictatorship.

Join me for a one-on-one discussion with fmr. House Majority Whip Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th). We're breaking down a wild week in Washington: Senate brinkmanship narrowly averts a government shutdown as Chuck Schumer and 9 Senate Democrats throw their support behind a Republican-crafted funding bill—dodging disaster, but igniting Democratic backlash in the process. Meanwhile, Donald Trump rants about “weaponized justice,” conveniently ignoring the fact that his own administration handed a journalist front-row access to a classified war planning group chat on Signal. Yes, that actually happened. We unpack the staggering incompetence of Trump-world, the GOP's dangerous double standards on national security, and why Rep. Clyburn believes this moment requires not just resistance—but reinvention of how Democrats communicate and govern. From MAGA chaos to judicial power grabs by Jim Jordan and his crew, this episode cuts through the noise and asks: how do we defend democracy when one party keeps lighting matches? This isn't just politics as usual. It's power, hypocrisy, and the future of the republic—all on the line.
On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for March 18, 2025: we look at the state of the SCDOT and catch you up on some of the major things happening at the agency; we preview the week ahead with all eyes on what is set to happen with S. 244, the major tort reform bill; Sen. Lindsey Graham and Congressman Jim Clyburn hit the Sunday shows; and more!
Rep. Jim Clyburn joins to discuss being “blindsided” by Sen. Chuck Schumer caving to Trump's government funding bill. Plus, the president of the largest teacher's union in the country discusses Trump's plan to gut the Department of Education.
Nicolle Wallace on the initiative potentially endangering CIA staffers and the retribution efforts already underway within Trump's administration. Joined by: Sarah Longwell, John Heilemann, Rep. Jim Himes, Mary McCord, Marc Elias, Rep. Jim Clyburn, Tyler McBrien, and Alex Wagner.
Nicolle Wallace is joined by Carlo Angerer, Ali Vitali, Claire McCaskill, Basil Smikle, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Rep. Jim Clyburn. Ari Melber – filling in for Nicolle in the second hour of coverage – is joined by Frank Figliuzzi, Ryan Reilly, Kristy Greenberg, Tim Miller, and Rep. Robert Garcia.
Happy Monday! Sam speaks with John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to discuss his recent interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the paths forward he sees for the Left after the 2024 election. First, Emma runs through updates on the acquittal of Daniel Penny, the potential detaining of the United Healthcare CEO killer, the fall of Assad in Syria and the imperialist responses from Israel and the US, South Korean President Yoom, Trump's pledge to pardon insurrectionists, and Trump's developing cabinet, before parsing through Trump's inhumane and unconstitutional plan to end birthright citizenship, and Democrats' failure to prevent this threat. Then, John Nichols joins Sam as he dives right into his recent interview with Bernie Sanders, unpacking Bernie's major takeaways from Democrats' failure in the 2024 elections, from the need for a new way to communicate with a multi-racial, multi-ethnic working class to the imperative for Democrats to stand aside and let independent, working-class progressive candidates run without the burden of the party establishment weighing them down. After briefly expanding on the challenge of convincing the Democratic Party Brand to stop pushing the Democratic Party Brand, Nichols steps back to walk through the history of this tactic's success on the left, playing a particularly prevalent role in bolstering FDR's progressive coalition and the major progress they achieved. Next, John and Sam look to Bernie's 2016 anti-oligarchy candidacy, exploring how Democrats' failure to address that growing political inequality provided a path (twice) for Trump and the GOP (twice) to successfully stand as the party of money power and as anti-establishment, bolstered by the GOP's messaging dominance (see: Elon Musk's Twitter purchase), before looking deeper into the contemporary examples for Bernie's model – namely himself and Angus King, two independents that, while outside of the party infrastructure, caucus (and vote) with Democrats.

Guests: Rep. Jim Clyburn, George Conway, Dave Wasserman, James Carville, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Jason RezaianShe's only just secured enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee—but Kamala Harris has been rocketing up the polls ever since she announced her candidacy. Plus, the next big thing on the Harris campaign to-do list: Picking a vice president. Then, Simone Biles is one of the most dominant Olympians in American history. But JD Vance still found a way to be a total weirdo about her. And the incredible moment when three Americans imprisoned in Russia finally arrived home. Want more of Chris?

SERIES 2 EPISODE 207: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: “No one's pushing me out. I'm not leaving.” The President yesterday on a conference call with his campaign staff, and notably ALSO with Vice President Harris. “Let me say this as clearly and simply as I can: I'm running. I'm the Democratic Party's nominee. No one is pushing me out. I'm not leaving. I'm in this race to the end…” the President's fundraising email last night. “I had a bad night… I screwed up,” he told a radio interviewer. I understand why the president said what he said, and I understand why the email reads as it does, and I understand he may fully or almost fully believe all that and I do NOT understand WHAT they are doing at The White House. The New York Times led a succession of reports that President Biden had told an ally “that he is weighing whether to continue in the race” although, perhaps crucially, after the White House issued a flat denial the Times ALTERED the hook and the story to focus on the idea that “he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince voters that he is up to the job." I do NOT understand the litmus test the President and his advisers have apparently convinced themselves will be the magic wand. I'll quote The Times: “Mr. Biden's allies said that the president had privately acknowledged that his next few appearances heading into the July 4 holiday weekend must go well, particularly an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.” The interview with Stephanopoulos is not live. It is taped. The campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are presumably going to follow all the other campaign stops with teleprompters. If someone is telling the President that doing well in more totally controlled, utterly contained, hothouse environments, is going to quell in the slightest the impact that continues to resonate from a week ago in Atlanta, THEY are crazy. And if the PRESIDENT thinks doing what amount to canned events will quell the impact, he is DOOMED. And between them, if he gets through a pre-recorded sitdown interview, and he gets through two speeches and there AREN'T questions from reporters or at minimum questions from THE CROWD, and he and the campaign boast about these events as some kind of TRIUMPH, then the outcome will be this: he will have forced HIMSELF off the ticket, NOT because of the debate, but because of the week AFTER the debate. The way to steer out of the skid, the way to find the magic wand, the way to “salvage his candidacy” as the Times put it and “save his reelection bid” as CNN put it and “stay in the race” as ABC put it, was – maybe still IS – to hold a news conference, and I mean call a news conference on 20 minutes' notice – not one next week at the NATO summit in DC, but NOW, and take whatever they've got for you; and it's to do a town hall somewhere (or as Jim Clyburn says, a series of them), and if you want some comparatively comfortable exercise, that Stephanopoulos interview has got to be LIVE. And it would be best to do these things on consecutive days. B-Block (19:49) JULY 4TH AND THE BAD PRESS LOU GEHRIG GOT FOR DYING: It's a remarkable reflection on media then and now. We think of the tragedy of the New York Yankees star as having moved 85 years of fans and writers and just humans. Not so. One columnist insisted Gehrig was faking it. Another insisted he had infected his teammates. Funny you don't hear those articles read often. I'm going to do it for you.

We may be starting to see a seismic shift in how the Democratic Party publicly talks about whether President Joe Biden should remain the party's presumptive nominee for president. On Tuesday, Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett became the first sitting Democratic lawmaker to call for Biden to leave the race after his devastating debate performance last week. Longtime Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley and Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Peter Welch of Vermont were also among those voicing harsh criticism of the president and his campaign. Most notably, South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn said he would support Vice President Kamala Harris if Biden dropped out of the race. Liz Bruenig, staff writer at The Atlantic, explains how the stakes of the race have changed in recent days.And in headlines: New York Justice Juan Merchan has delayed former President Donald Trump's sentencing until September in the wake of the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani lost his license to practice law in the state, and President Biden proposed a new rule on Tuesday to protect around 35 million people from excessive heat in their workplaces.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
