Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were honored to sit down with Dr. Jermaine Johnson — basketball player turned state representative for parts of Kershaw & Richland Counties, now a candidate for governor of South Carolina. But this conversation isn't really about a campaign or politics. It's about our justice system, and the uncomfortable truth that South Carolina runs two of them: one for the powerful and well-connected, and one for everybody else. Jermaine has lived inside both. He talks candidly about being homeless as a teenager, about being a young father trapped in a family court system with no lawyer and no fair shot, and about the men he watched get jailed for child support they had already paid. Dr. Johnson explains why South Carolina's way of electing judges is broken, why a decades-old mug shot keeps resurfacing, and why courage is in such short supply under the State House dome. It's an honest, hopeful, occasionally infuriating conversation about fixing what's rigged. Explore Dr. Jermaine Johnson's campaign for South Carolina governor

No. First off, I was at the State House all morning watching um everybody go through the 600 amendments. I want to start by saying um great job to Speaker Smith coming in with some new rules to try to move this along. We definitely don't want the clock to run out on it. It's really important. It's important because the people of South Carolina want to see it done. It's important because it's 01:11 really bigger than even our state, right? This is an issue that will shape what happens in our nation and we can't lose the Senate. We can't lose the House. We need to give President Trump everything he needs to move forward. um In South Carolina, we deserve to have a 7-0. We deserve to send seven conservative members to Congress. um And you know, what scares me, what scares the governor, 01:41 is losing and you know what the next two years will be like. It will be impeach, impeach, bottleneck, impeach. um But you know, we feel that this is what the citizens want. This is what's best for our nation. And Charlie, Joey, it hasn't been that long ago. And I hope people remember just how horrible the era of the Biden administration was with an open border. 02:09 and fentanyl running over that border and lawlessness in the streets and defund the police. We could go on and on with those horrible, horrible policies. That's why it's important to do what we're doing. That's why it's important what's happening in other red states. And I've been saying this for the last week now. Thank you to President Trump once again for putting a spotlight on what the Democrats have been doing forever. And as soon as he does that, they try to change the narrative. I mean, it's the Democrat way. 02:39 Let's change the narrative, let's flip it around, let's confuse people. And they're doing it right in the house. We saw it happen in South Carolina State House. Democrats coming in and trying to confuse the issue, basically saying, oh, if you move this map, we could pick up a seat, an extra seat, we could pick up two extra seats. It could be a four, three, it could be a five, two. But I mean, I would love your opinions because you hear from listeners all the time. 03:08 If the Democrats felt like they could pick up one or two seats, would they have thrown down 600 amendments to stop this?

The major discussion points from today's Hour 1 Segment 2 of The Charlie James Show center around two key figures in the South Carolina gubernatorial landscape and a high-stakes Republican battle in California:1. David Pascoe & Statehouse PoliticsThe SC Attorney General Race: First Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe is running for South Carolina Attorney General. The seat is wide open because current AG Alan Wilson is running for Governor.Party Switch Context: Pascoe, a longtime prosecutor known for leading the Statehouse public corruption probe, made waves by officially switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party to run for the nomination in the June 9 primary.Current Drama: Discussion touches on Pascoe's fierce anti-corruption platform and his ongoing rhetorical battles with institutional state figures, whom he has recently targeted as a "machine built on money and intimidation".2. "Evette's Name" & The Governor's SeriesPam Evette's Gubernatorial Push: Lieutenant Governor Pam Evette is the featured candidate on News/Talk 98.9 WORD's "Governor's Series" today.Name Recognition: The segment highlights the political maneuvering surrounding her name on the upcoming ballot. As current Governor Henry McMaster is term-limited, Evette is working to solidify her brand and separate her identity from McMaster to capture the independent Republican base.3. Steve Hilton in the California Governor's RaceThe Republican Ultimatum: Turning to national politics, former Fox News host Steve Hilton is currently surging in the California Gubernatorial primary polls.The Campaign Clash: The show details the massive drama unfolding today as Hilton and the GOP establishment call on trailing candidate Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco to drop out. Bianco has fiercely refused, claiming the state's top Democrats are actively trying to boost Hilton because they believe a former British political adviser is easier to defeat in November.

- Tennessee's redistricting fight blows up the Democratic racial narrative, with the old map scrapped, Steve Cohen on the way out, and a black Republican woman now positioned to take the seat. - Justin Pearson turns the Statehouse into political theater, screaming about oppression while acting out a race-first script the episode treats as pure fraud. - Meghan Kelly and Tucker Carlson are hammered again for suggesting concern about radical Islam is somehow driven by Israel, while the episode insists the threat is domestic, immediate, and undeniable. - Spencer Pratt keeps emerging as the raw anti-establishment force in Los Angeles, landing direct hits on Karen Bass over the fires, the cover-ups, and the city's collapse. - Kamala Harris is cast as the perfect Democratic symbol: rich, insulated, and wildly out of touch, declaring the American dream dead while living a life that proves the exact opposite.

Are you underestimating what your children are capable of achieving right now? In this episode of the Homeschool Your Kids podcast, we sit down with Leah, the founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, to discuss why kids don't need to wait until they are adults to start businesses and lead their communities. Learn how to stop saying no and start asking how to help your child's ideas come to life. Leah shares her incredible journey from running an in-home daycare to supporting her four-year-old daughter's first business during the 2020 lockdowns. We dive deep into the philosophy that children are not just the future, but are capable, aware leaders today. Leah explains the vital difference between child labor and child entrepreneurship, emphasizing that when kids own their successes and failures, they develop essential life skills like financial literacy, persuasive writing, and conflict resolution. From testifying at the State House for lemonade stand laws to advocating for city crosswalks, this episode is packed with inspiration for parents who want to empower their children. We also discuss Leah's 36-week entrepreneurship curriculum and how to tailor education to meet the unique needs of every child, including those with ADHD and autism. Whether your child wants to sell lemonade or launch a service-based business, this conversation provides a roadmap for nurturing the next generation of critical thinkers. https://societyofchildentrepreneurs.org/Chapters0:00 Meet Leah from the Society of Child Entrepreneurs3:20 How a four year old launched a painting business7:15 Why kids are capable leaders right now11:05 The importance of allowing kids to fail15:30 Selling specialty lemonade and hosting business fairs19:45 Testifying for lemonade stand laws in Kansas23:10 Child labor versus child entrepreneurship27:20 Why ages 8 to 13 are the perfect time to start31:45 A 36 week curriculum for young entrepreneurs35:50 Student success stories and market demand39:15 Problem spotting and monetization43:30 Civic engagement and city council advocacy47:50 Personalizing education for different learning styles51:00 Self care for parents and the joy of reading52:54 Final thoughts and encouragementIf you enjoyed this conversation, please hit the like button and subscribe for more episodes featuring real support for your homeschooling journey.

From the Statehouse to the Supreme Court, there is no shortage of news in this episode of The Narrative! Together, Aaron and Mike break down: The historic week for CCV as the organization officially expands beyond Ohio’s borders to launch the national Christian Education Network. The academic "deep state" at Bowling Green State University, where undercover footage caught bureaucrats playing word games to keep their illegal DEI machine running on your dime. The disturbing reality of three assassination attempts against President Trump. The Supreme Court finally dismantling racist gerrymandering. After the news, Benjamin Baird of the Middle East Forum exposes a hidden threat operating inside the Ohio Statehouse. He explains State Representative Munira Abdullahi’s deep-seated leadership within the Muslim American Society (MAS)—a group federal prosecutors identify as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. From hosting terror-linked figures at the Capitol to her lone vote against condemning the October 7 massacre in Israel, Munira's trajectory follows a dangerous blueprint of using democratic institutions to advance a radical, theocratic agenda. Has the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated the Ohio government? Find out today!

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Tennessee State Representative Elaine Davis to share an inspiring story of how one mother's determination led to real change. After her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Elaine discovered a critical gap in school health care—many schools didn't have nurses available to provide life-saving support. What started as a personal challenge became a mission, as she navigated local and state government to help pass legislation protecting students with medical needs. Now serving in the Tennessee legislature, Elaine reflects on her journey from concerned parent to policymaker, offering insight into the legislative process, the importance of relationships, and how everyday citizens can make a difference. This episode is a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with one small step—and that when individuals step up, they can create a lasting impact for their communities and future generations.

Dan talks with Dr. Zach Rossfeld, who is running for State Representative in the 7th House district. A hospice and palliative care physician, Zach talks about what his experience as both a physician and at the Ohio Department of Medicaid has taught him about what Ohio needs on the policy level, not only health policy, but housing, education, and beyond. Above all, Rossfeld calls for a radical recentering in the Statehouse of Ohioans' immediate needs even as we build longer term capacity.
