Clementa Pinckney, were murdered in a racially fueled massacre; we'll share reflections from South Carolinians who participated in our Voices Collected initiative as well as from folks who participated in the Charleston Forum last week.

Tara uncovers the truth behind South Carolina's so-called “historic” tax cut. Representative Josiah Magnuson reveals how it's actually a tax hike for the majority of residents, disguised by political spin. Learn how 1.7 million South Carolinians could pay more—just to fund a 10% increase in state spending.

Send us a textIn 1992, South Carolina featured a heated Senate race that featured two very experienced and respected political figures in incumbent senator Ernest Hollings and his challenger former Congressman Tommy Hartnett. It would be the toughest challenge for Hollings in decades because not only was Hartnett a formidable challenger but the political dynamics in South Carolina were changing fast as the state grew more conservative and more Republican. But Ernest Hollings was a towering political figure. He had been at the forefront of political crusades to feed the hungry, keep the military strong, protect manufacturing jobs, and stop the massive amounts of money flowing into political races. Holling's fit the bill that had often been how South Carolinian's described liking their politicians, "Ernest Hollings fought hard for what he believed in, even when he was wrong." That always appealed to people in the state even when they disagreed with the Senator. His opponent in the race was former Representative Tommy Hartnett, the former congressman from the South Carolina First District, which included Charleston S.C. where the Senator was from too. Hartnett was a champion for fiscal responsibility, supported term limits for Congress, and fought to keep the budget under control. He had arrived in Washington D.c. as part of the Reagan Revolution in 1980 and served for six years in Congress before deciding to come home and run for Lieutenant Governor. After nearly, two and half decades in public life, first as South Carolina State House member, he lost the race for Lieutenant Governor and this was his attempt at a comeback. This was an exciting race between two formidable men. In this episode, we will look at the careers of both men and their thoughts on Government and what they both feel is the problems our nation at the time faced. Many of those issues still plague us now. In the end, we will focus in on the legendary career of the incumbent, a man considered a giant of American Politics both at home and in washington D.C. He became famous for his southern Charleston drawl, his towering physical frame, and his often blunt, fiery positions, on issues, always on the side of the little man he had been sent to the Senate to represent. Then in our next episode we will present the South Carolina United States Senate debate and let me warn you, it will be exciting, but unless you are from South Carolina you may need an interpreter to understand them.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

South Carolina taxpayers are paying billions, but where is the money going? Callers sound off on the state's crumbling roads and the lack of accountability for gas tax revenue. Meanwhile, frustrated homeowners share their battles with insurance companies that refuse to pay what they owe, leaving families to fend for themselves after disasters. FEMA's response to storm damage is also under scrutiny as bureaucratic delays and logistical failures slow recovery efforts. With wildfires raging and policymakers dragging their feet, it's clear that South Carolinians are being left to pick up the pieces while their money disappears. | https://www.audacy.com/989word | The Charlie James Show | Listen on Spotify : https://spoti.fi/3MXOvGP | Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-charlie-james-show-podcast/id1547262821 | Join our Live Stream Weekdays - 3pm to 7pm | Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/989word, Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2031096, X: https://twitter.com/989word, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/989word/ | Red Meat, Greenville." 03/28/25

Send us a textIt is just days before the Republican National Convention and the campaign of George H. W. Bush is losing, badly. It appears unfocused and seems to be reacting to events instead of controlling them or leading them. The worsening economy has the argument for change being made by Bill Clinton stronger with each passing day. Finally, Ross Perot decided to withdraw and did so on the last night of the 1992 Democratic National Convention delivering for Governor Clinton an enormously huge audience to listen to his acceptance speech. One of the problems is that George Bush is without two of his most trusted political advisors. Lee Atwater, the native South Carolinian, who had helped guide Bush to the Presidency had died of brain cancer, and James Baker, his former campaign manager, had moved on to the job of Secretary of State. Bush needed them badly and he finally went to James Baker and asked him to take over the campaign for that final stretch. James Baker was, as James Carville once said of him, "the Joe Montana of American Politics" (Montana is a widely heralded Super Bowl MVP Quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers) Baker arrived in Washington D.C. when his friend George Bush had moved from Texas in the early 1970s.  He got a job working for President Gerald Ford in 1975. He then moved over and almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in political history moving Ford from 33% points down to only losing by one in 1976 to Jimmy Carter. He took Bush from an asterisk in the polls to almost wrestling away the 1980 nomination from Ronald Reagan, he then helped guide the Reagan Presidency in its first term, was Secretary of State to Bush as they soft landed the Cold War, and now Bush was calling him back in to pull off yet another miracle and get him re-elected to the Presidency. As you will see, it almost worked, if not for the Sinister forces of a Special Prosecutor. Here is the story of James Baker stepping back in to take over the 1992 campaign of George H. W. Bush, on the eve of the 1992 Republican National Convention.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Snow and snow maintenance trucks ambience — This is the January 5,6 storm over Northern Virginia. Listen to the gut-punch storm that forced us to spend another week with our children.  Yes, I know that sounds terrible, but we had already been back to work, and these little free-loaders were "bored." Never mind, they were somehow ****** bored the day after Santa Claus' capitalistic ride of philanthropy.  And we had made it to the end. The children were going back to school in two days.  And then the universe dumped an unimpressive amount of snow on us. I'm not sure you could impress a South Carolinian with 〜seven inches of snow.  Look — obviously, I understand closing school Monday. I even got closing on Tuesday; we had freezing temperatures, and there were still ice patches. Wednesday, OK; take Wednesday too, for safety's sake, never mind that the roads were mostly clear. The kids were all figuring out new daredevil **** to do in the snow. I saw one kid jump off a roof. I get it, school administrators. A snow day is an unexpected break from our rotten-*** children. But Thursday felt like payback for the last ten years of scant snow closures.

President Donald Trump promised a Jewish audience that he will rid the United States of all Jew haters if he is elected in November. Meanwhile, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsay Graham met with Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem to promise the prime minister that American money, bombs, missiles, and ammo will continue flowing to the Jewish state even though many South Carolinians are still homeless and without food more two weeks after Hurricane Helene ripped through the state.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

“In Conversation With” is a continuing series on the Legal Bench Podcast hosted by Christian Stegmaier, Collins & Lacy President and Chief Executive Officer, where he engages with influential South Carolinians who are making significant impacts across our state. In this episode, Christian sits down with Kenny Berger, a distinguished plaintiff's lawyer based in Columbia, South Carolina, known not only for his legal acumen but also for his deep commitment to generosity in both relationships and spirit. Kenny Berger is the founder of the Law Office of Kenneth E. Berger, LLC, where he has earned a reputation as a compassionate and formidable advocate for those who have suffered serious injuries. His practice is dedicated to representing individuals and families in complex personal injury and wrongful death cases, with a particular focus on cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Kenny's commitment to justice and client service has made him a respected figure in the South Carolina legal community, known for achieving significant results while maintaining the highest ethical standards. In this insightful conversation, Christian and Kenny delve into the importance of cultivating generosity—not just as a practice in the courtroom but as a guiding principle in life. They explore how this mindset influences Kenny's approach to building and nurturing relationships, both personal and professional, and how it shapes his interactions with clients, colleagues, and the broader community. Kenny shares candid reflections on the impact of generosity in creating lasting connections, fostering trust, and ultimately achieving success that is measured not only in legal victories but in the positive change brought about for others. His approach to law is as much about the human element as it is about legal strategy, emphasizing the value of kindness, understanding, and giving back. It was a privilege to have Kenny Berger as our guest for this episode, and we hope his insights inspire listeners to consider the role of generosity in their own lives and careers.

Public Radio on educational content that will inform and, maybe, even entertain its listeners,” says President Andrew Hsu. “Professor Harris is a gifted teacher-scholar and he can pack a lot in only a minute of instruction!”Dr. Harris says he loves hosting Teachable Moments because each episode is a conversation with the wider community. “It's not about high-end research. Nobody's going to get tested on it, nobody's going to fail, we're just having a conversation in the studio,” he says. “It's a teachable moment that hopefully inspires listeners to talk about with their neighbor, family and community and hopefully those discussions will make those spaces better.”Sean Birch, director of South Carolina public radio, says Teachable Moments aligns with their mission to keep South Carolinians informed and connected to the world around them in a way that's entertaining and accessible.  “Dr. Harris' energy and positivity – not to mention the tasty licks of his harmonica – are a natural fit for our public radio style. We are proud to partner with the whole College of Charleston team and look forward to growing our shared efforts in the future.”Featured on this episode:Dr. Rénard Harris is an Associate Professor of Management in the School of Business at the College of Charleston.

A common theme for today's episode is the HEAT and lack of rain. Agents from around the state report little to no precipitation and very warm temperatures, which shouldn't come as a surprise to any South Carolinians. While dry weather keeps some issues at bay, it does bring on others. Reports from the coast, midlands and upstate are shared, and we discuss some commonalities in issues we are seeing in vegetables and some fruit crops. Justin shares the “Question of the Week” from a photo submitted by Zack.

Christian's first guest is David Yarborough, renowned plaintiff's attorney and a founding partner of Yarborough Applegate Law Firm, LLC, which is headquartered in Charleston. What ensued was an engaging discussion about the zealous practice of law, building a business that is meant to last, effectively managing and leading teams, mentoring lawyers new to the profession, and working hard to realize your potential as a professional. David has a history of achieving record-breaking jury verdicts and settlements for his clients, including a landmark $44.6 million jury verdict against Amazon in December 2023, and a $35.9 million verdict against PEPCO. He focuses on personal injury cases involving bad faith against insurance companies, industrial injuries, product liability, toxic spills, drownings, accidents, and negligence by various entities, collecting hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients. David is also deeply involved in his community, providing free legal work, mentoring individuals suffering from addiction, and contributing to local charities, alongside his membership in several legal and advocacy organizations. David enjoys a reputation in the Bar as a relentless advocate who is unapologetically candid and direct in his communications. It was a pleasure hosting David on our inaugural show of this series.

Back in October of 2023, The US Supreme Court heard a case involving an electoral map that has been proven in a court of law to be racist. That was in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP.  Since the nation's highest court failed to deliver an expedited ruling in, South Carolinians are going into the 2024 election with this racially gerrymandered map. The consequences of a ruling in this case could not only change the course of the 2024 election, but it could undermine democracy itself.  Listen as we explore a decades long effort to chip away at the 14th amendment and the Voting Rights Act in an effort to strip minority communities of their political power. Links to Newsletters mentioned in the breaks:FWIW, Stop The Presses.Subscribe to this limited series wherever you get your podcasts including Apple and Spotify.

The legislative body in South Carolina has recently undertaken a significant measure to preserve the integrity of the electoral process. The proposal, named as The Citizens Only Voting Amendment, has the potential to modify the constitution of the state, ensuring that only American citizens can cast their vote in state elections. On May 2, the South Carolina House of Representatives threw their unanimous support behind the bill, endorsing it with a 105-0 vote. Earlier, Senate Joint Resolution 1126 sailed through the Senate having secured broad support with a 40-3 vote, as reported by Legal Newsline. Republican Senator Josh Kimbrell, the brain behind the bill, expressed his satisfaction at the progress made. In his words, 'South Carolina has made a commendable progress in preserving the sanctity of citizenship. We have made our stand clear—we will never entertain voting by non-citizens in any of our state elections.' He further emphasized the state's commitment to ease the process for eligible, law-abiding citizens, saying 'while we take a firm stance against voting by non-citizens, we are equally committed to facilitating legal and law-abiding citizens, both of this state and of the United States at large, to exercise their democratic rights in all our elections.' The respected Senator from Spartanburg is confident of the amendment winning the public's endorsement this fall. Recent data indicates an overwhelming support for the change among South Carolinians. Significantly, a staggering majority of approximately 80 percent seem to be favoring this shift of policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered how South Carolinians paid for goods and services before the advent of the U.S. dollar? The pound sterling formed the basis of their accounts until the 1790s, but the economic realities of frontier life obliged early Carolinians to embrace monetary tools and strategies that deviated from British traditions. For more than a century, inhabitants of the Palmetto State used foreign coins, paper bills, promissory notes, and sophisticated credit schemes that fueled upward mobility and set the stage for the financial systems we use today.

Donald Trump came away with more than a win in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary; he also came away with a big question mark. Some polls had Trump up by more than 35 points but he only ended up beating Nikki Haley by 20 points. Yes, she lost in her home state, but she also took about 40% of the vote. One analyst says it indicates that primary voters don't like Trump. More fallout after the South Carolina primary: The money tree is drying up for Nikki Haley. The network associated with billionaire Charles Koch won't be putting its cash toward Haley and will instead focus on key Senate and House races where they say they may have more of an impact. Our favorite Britisher. Anthony Davis (MeidasTouch Media Network and 5 Minute News Podcast), will be on at top of the show to talk about it all. True Crime Corner is open for business. Courtney will join us with her story of the week. Karen Dawn pops in to show some love for the animals.

South Carolinians head to the polls Saturday in the state's Republican primary race. South Carolina is often seen as a bellwether with its first-in-the-South contest, and Nikki Haley has spent more money and time on the ground in her home state than former President Trump. But as Lisa Desjardins reports, it's Trump that maintains a strong hold on the electorate there. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

In Stories of Struggle: The Clash over Civil Rights in South Carolina (U South Carolina Press, 2020), longtime journalist Claudia Smith Brinson details the lynchings, beatings, bombings, cross burnings, death threats, arson, and venomous hatred that black South Carolinians endured―as well as the astonishing courage, devotion, dignity, and compassion of those who risked their lives for equality. Through extensive research and interviews with more than one hundred fifty civil rights activists, many of whom had never shared their stories with anyone, Brinson chronicles twenty pivotal years of petitioning, preaching, picketing, boycotting, marching, and holding sit-ins. Participants' use of nonviolent direct action altered the landscape of civil rights in South Carolina and reverberated throughout the South. These firsthand accounts include those of the unsung petitioners who risked their lives by supporting Summerton's Briggs v. Elliot, a lawsuit that led to the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision; the thousands of students who were arrested and jailed in 1960 for protests in Rock Hill, Orangeburg, Denmark, Columbia, and Sumter; and the black female employees and leaders who defied a governor and his armed troops during the 1969 hospital strike in Charleston. Brinson also highlights contributions made by remarkable but lesser-known activists, including James M. Hinton Sr., president of the South Carolina Conference of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Thomas W. Gaither, Congress of Racial Equality field secretary and scout for the Freedom Rides; Charles F. McDew, a South Carolina State College student and co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; and Mary Moultrie, grassroots leader of the 1969 hospital workers' strike. These intimate stories of courage and conviction, both heartbreaking and inspiring, shine a light on the progress achieved by nonviolent civil rights activists while also revealing white South Carolinians' often violent resistance to change. Although significant racial disparities remain, the sacrifices of these brave men and women produced real progress―and hope for the future.

September 26, 2023 — We hear from former President Donald Trump and his supporters at a campaign stop in Summerville this week; what the end of American Recovery Plan Act childcare funds could mean for South Carolinians; and more.

A potentially major blow against big government and big tech collusion against your freedom of speech. Everybody knows whom that cocaine belongs to. Incidental conservatism is the best conservatism. On the campaign trail, DeSantis wonders why he should be loyal to Trump, South Carolinians boo Lindsey Graham, and Trump brags about ceding his government to Fauci. Generation of wussies update. The DeSantis campaign made all the right people angry. And why The System no longer fears Trump. 

Following Dateline's 2-hour episode Dark Waters, Craig Melvin and Dateline producer Carol Gable sit down for an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the Murdaugh saga from their unique perspectives as native South Carolinians. Carol has been following the story since she heard about a boat crash in the Lowcountry involving the son of one of Hampton County's most influential citizens, Alex Murdaugh. No one knew then how explosive the story would become. You can listen to the full episode Dark Waters here: https://apple.co/3WMCpEr
