Charlie James talking with former Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer about his run to challenge with Senator Lindsey Graham From members of the senate. We do have, senate primary coming up next year, and we got some folks running against Lindsey Graham. One of those people is former lieutenant governor Andre Bauer who joins us right now. Andre, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well, sir. Charlie j, thank you for having me on, brother. So let me ask you. What was, what made you pull the trigger on this decision? You know, Charlie, I thought about it back in '19. I've just continued year after year, decade after decade, watched Lindsay put Washington policies and foreign priorities ahead of, I think, South Carolina and America First priority. And after just pushing to get our president reelected, I've just watched how people in South Carolina feel like they are not, looked after. They don't feel like they have a seat at the table. They feel like they sent a president to Washington for change, but they feel like they got a senator that's working against them every chance he's gotten. I mean, he's been against Trump. He said nasty things about Trump. He ran against Trump in 2016. And so we're not seeing you know, I don't know how many decades you get before taxes have gotta go down. We gotta do something at the border. We've gotta quit fighting all these wars overseas. I mean, we expect action. And year after year, he hasn't had an opponent that could fund a a real campaign against him, and so it's always been funding. And so I'm hoping people will go to andrebauer.com and get involved. It's an opportunity to take our country back, to really get somebody in there to spot for the taxpayer. You know, when I was lieutenant governor Charlie, the the senate's caucus or the senate continued to propose tax increases. For eight years, I ruled every single tax increase out of order. That's why your car tax until I left state at $300. They only changed it after I got out of office and raised it on people of South Carolina. I'll do the same thing in Washington, Charlie. I'm not gonna let them continue to raise taxes, stand out of control. Look. Lindsay took office with term limits. He committed to term limits. Those have long since gone. They were twelve years. He committed to balanced budget. He also told us he was gonna act like a conservative. Well, how can you go from having a budget less than 5,000,000,000,000 when you took office to 37,000,000,000,000 now and say, you're for less government. You're up there fighting the good fight. Look. Fool me once. Shame on me. You fooled me so many elections that the voters have had enough. They're fed up. I'm fed up. I've got four children that in somewhere in in the age range, we're trying to teach them to be good spot responsible stewards of their dollar. But we got a government that doesn't take anything to give billions of dollars to countries all around the world when we can't pay our own bills. It makes zero sense. That's why. He's a globalist. He's a he's more concerned about the world than he is about Conway or Pickens or Greenville or Spartanburg or or Reed. We want somebody looking after our counties. Look. He doesn't even show up except every now and then around election time. The rest of the time, he's traveling the world. He went with Menendez, who's now in federal prison, and traveled all over Europe on your dime. On the taxpayer dime, he traveled Europe with senator Menendez and his wife went to Paris. I mean, average hardworking taxpayers don't get to do that, and they sure don't think their elected officials should be doing that. Shame on him. We need to change. I hope they'll go to hope you'll go to charlie.gredbauer.com and visit, because we we're gonna create a movement in South Carolina to take back our government. There is a poll out there that say 60% well, 57% of South Carolinians think it's time for a change in the senate. Is now are we seeing right ...
