Anderson Gubernatorial Debate; Thune admits he doesn't run the show

In the second segment of hour three, Charlie James breaks down the highlights from the Anderson Gubernatorial Debate, where the leading Republican contenders faced off over South Carolina’s economic future and infrastructure. The discussion centers on how candidates like Pamela Evette and John Warren handled questions on the state’s soaring property taxes and the controversial Senate pay raise. Transitioning to national politics, the segment features a blunt critique of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who reportedly admitted in a private meeting that he "doesn't run the show," fueling James' argument that the D.C. establishment is increasingly beholden to unelected bureaucrats and special interest donors rather than their own leadership or the voters.
