Lindsey Graham claims to represent South Carolina, but his actions tell a different story. From backing endless wars to cozying up to the military-industrial complex, Graham’s priorities seem more aligned with Washington elites than his own constituents. Callers vent their frustrations over his betrayal of President Trump, his support for big donors, and the need for real conservative leadership. With voter turnout historically low in Senate primaries, Charlie stresses the importance of getting engaged and not letting Graham skate by again. | 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." 02/18/25

Then, the show shifts to the bureaucratic mess that is Social Security and the chaos surrounding local GOP reorganization efforts, as callers share their frustrations navigating both systems. Charlie emphasizes the importance of getting involved in local precinct reorgs, following in the footsteps of Rush Limbaugh’s call to dismantle the establishment’s hold on power.
