Hour 2

SC Dem Sen candidate Dr. Andrews shares medical & policy views.

In this interview, South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews explains that her decision to enter politics stemmed from witnessing systemic policy and healthcare issues firsthand during her 15-year career as a children's hospital pediatrician. She emphasizes that despite political divisions, South Carolinians share common goals like reducing living costs, improving roads, and securing quality education and affordable healthcare. While critiquing the profit-driven nature of the current healthcare system and calling for lower prescription drug costs, she favors pragmatic reforms over an immediate shift to a Medicare-for-All system. On social issues, Andrews supports reasonable abortion restrictions aligned with Roe v. Wade and views transgender care as a private matter between families and physicians. Additionally, she strongly supports funding law enforcement to help combat gun violence and advocates for comprehensive immigration reform that balances border security with humane treatment and clear paths to citizenship.

Charlie James discusses leaks on Trump’s upcoming election integrity speech.

Host Charlie James previews President Trump's upcoming address to the nation regarding election integrity, highlighting leaks that the speech may go beyond general talking points. He references investigative reporter Paul Sperry's reports that Trump may present evidence of Chinese interference in the 2020 election, specifically involving voter database hacks and mail-in ballot manufacturing. James connects these claims to reports of fake driver's licenses flooding the U.S. and plays a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt discussing the upcoming address.

Criticizing the threats as stemming from radical leftists, James argues that Barrett's admitted fear compromises her ability to rule without "fear or favor." He highlights her past rulings, including on birthright citizenship, and controversially suggests that if she is too afraid to protect her family while serving, she should step down from the bench.
