It is a very informative event and I hope you enjoy this look at all the candidates.  Thank you to the Grand Dunes HOA for putting on this event and providing food and drinks at the event.

In this episode we listen as Randal Wallace discusses some of the plans that were cut short in 2017 when he was not re-elected. How he had hoped they would be continued but were not after he departed and how he thinks they are still things that could help with issues the city continues to wrestle with here in 2023.

Then we can listen in on the speech he gave to the Horry County Republican Women’s Club at Magnolia’s Restaurant in Myrtle Beach. It is an address that lays out his ideas for how to cope with several issues of importance to the people of Myrtle Beach.

Welcome to our special podcast series all week looking back at the the past two months of events leading up to the Myrtle Beach City Council Election. 

In this episode we will briefly introduce you to the eight city council candidates that have stepped up to the plate to make a difference here in our little corner of the World. 
They are :
Kenya Hennigan
Stuart Behar
Mike Chestnut (Incumbent)
Debbie Conner 
John Krajc (Incumbent)
Bill McClure
Myra Starnes
and our host Randal Wallace (no we are not joking)

We will also pay tribute to our long time friend and retiring city councilman Dr. Phil Render, and we will feature an interview with council candidate Randal Wallace from the WRNN Radio Station morning show with Dave Priest. 

We have four more shows planned and ready to go , two centered on our host Randal Wallace's campaign for the open council seat and two more episodes that will feature all of the candidates in two debates, one hosted by the NAACP  and another hosted by the Portside Facility at the Grand Dunes in Myrtle Beach.  While this show makes no pretense of not being an infomercial for the Randal Wallace for City Council Campaign, we do and will attempt to allow you to hear from every candidate just as though you were there at the event as it happened. 

We will also offer time so that any candidate will be able to rebut any attempt at the last minute by any outside group to smear any particular candidate, by going up with a special show that any such candidate who finds themself in that situation wants to participate in.   

The election will be held on November 7th, with a possible run off election occurring two weeks later on November 21, 2023.

In this episode we look back at the relationship between President Richard Nixon and California Governor and future President Ronald Reagan.  As you will see it is obvious that Richard Nixon is actually working to open the doors of opportunity to his fellow Californian as he brings jobs to the state and arrainges for Reagan to spend time with dignitaries from around the world too, 

Reagan in turn offers up his own ideas and suggestions on how to handle some of the world situations confronting President Nixon, from appointments to the Supreme Court, to who he thinks would be a good Attorney General, to a rather ugly call in the wake of the United Nations voting to expel Taiwan as it excepted into its membership the People's Republic of China. 

Finally, we will listen in as an embattled President, who has just fired his most trusted advisors in April of 1973, receives a phone call from Ronald Reagan, who offers up his support as only a friend would attempt to do.  It is an intimate look into the relationship between arguably two of the five greatest American Presidents in all of American History.

In this final look back at the phone calls of Richard Nixon with Alexander Haig it is December of 1972 and January of 1973. The end of the War for America in Vietnam seems at hand. We will hear the two men work on these final problems and issues concerning getting an agreement to end the war. 

We will also hear them as they learn of the death of President Nixon's predecessor Lyndon Johnson and the ultimate irony that he would die literally on the eve of peace and not live to see it for himself. 

This is an extraordinary look inside the White House at one of the most difficult times in all of our history, listening in on two of history's most significant players.

In this episode, we see President Nixon moving in on what he believes will be peace in Vietnam. However, it is not without issues and games being played by not only our enemies in Hanoi, or their allies in Peking and Moscow, but also by our own friends in Saigon too. 

This is a fascinating look at the end of the War in Vietnam that so divided the nation and we listen in on the thoughts of the men who brought that war to an end, Richard Nixon and one of his assistants General Alexander Haig.  These calls cover mostly 1972.

In this second episode on General alexander Haig , we will listen in on the phone calls between the President and the Assistant National Security Advisor Al Haig. These are the calls from 1971 and they cover several different subjects from the theft of the Pentagon Papers, to issues in Africa, to the Indian - Pakistan War.  Plus the war in Vietnam. 

We have used some of these calls in our earlier series on Vietnam and some are shared here for the first time. What you will hear is a President in firm control of his foreign policy and the adept way Alexander Haig assisted Henry Kissinger in carrying it out.  

These next three episodes are a chance for you to hear the thinking and the strategy of an American President during war time working to get our troops and POW's out and how the same President handles a various array of issues and problems.  these are the calls between Nixon and Haig and we hope you will enjoy them and find them insightful too.

This is the first episode in a four episode special series looking back at the life of General Alexander Haig.  Haig served several Presidents, working most closely with Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan. He has been a major player throughout the time periods we have been covering throughout the entire storyline of our podcast. He has been such a large player throughout the run of our series and  we thought here at what will be his last major appearance in our timeline that now was a time to look back at Al Haig, so that you could get a full picture of this man who played such a major role in four major historic moments in our nation's history: The Vietnam War, Watergate, the Nixon Pardon by Ford, and The Reagan State Department. 

To say Alexander Haig was a major player in all of these events would be a major understatement. All three of these Presidents relied on Haig for advice an understanding of the World. Over the final months of the Vietnam War, Haig helped guide the President to the conclusion, as we shall see in this special series, and it is alleged he may have also later helped guide Richard Nixon out of the Presidency.  Haig's role in the Nixon years, especially, is not without controversy, some of which I was unaware of when I started this podcast several years ago. 

In this episode we will look back at several historic moments from the life of Alexander Haig.  We start first at the moment that most likely ended his political life when he stepped up to the cameras and insisted he was incharge of the government after the assassination attempt on President Reagan.  We will hear from the man himself, from an interview he gave while attempting to run for President in his own right in 1988. We will hear of his role in the pardon of Richard Nixon from Gerald Ford, and we will hear of his successes as Secretary of State including his role in trying to prevent the Falklands War. 

But it is his role at the end of Vietnam, and at the end of the Nixon Administration itself that has engendered the most controversy, including accusations that at some point he may have been involved in a spy ring against the President from the Joints Chiefs of Staff, and also that he may have been a secret source for the Washington Post's journalistic team of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, while also managing the Nixon White House as its Chief of Staff.  We will examine it all here in this first of four episodes on General Alexander Haig.
