Episode Details

In the second segment of Hour 4, host Charlie James recaps the show’s primary election candidate lineup, noting that every major candidate participated except Darlene Graham Nardone. James points out recent campaign finance disclosures on X showing that zero dollars of Nardone’s latest reported contributions originated from South Carolina. He then takes a call from Roger in Taylors, who pushes back on candidate Russell Fry’s assertion that out-of-state tourists bear the brunt of South Carolina's 28-cent-per-gallon gas tax. Frank in Pisgah Forest calls in to add that out-of-state drivers now avoid fueling up in South Carolina due to the tax, while Kevin in Morganton notes that even non-highway fuel carries the levy. Finally, Doug in Simpsonville calls to offer thanks to the show's team, prompting James to reiterate his advice for voters to check scvotes.gov to verify their primary polling locations before Election Day.
