Donald Trump’s Second Term, Botched Boat Crash Probe – Week In Review 1/25/2025

News and notes…

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Donald Trump is back with a vengeance, people… taking office last week and immediately embarking on a furious push to undo what he termed the many “betrayals” of the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

While Trump’s executive blitzkrieg was far-ranging, it quickly became clear illegal immigration was agenda item number one… as our Dylan Nolan adeptly summarized in this article.

Dylan and I discussed Trump’s triumphant return to power extensively on this week’s show, zeroing in on his border moves and the situation in Ukraine – as well as the new president’s decision to release classified assassination files and christen the former Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”

At the state level, Dylan and I talked about the latest developments in the race for governor of South Carolina – which saw congresswoman Nancy Mace make some big waves in advancing her candidacy this week. We also discussed the rising influence of the S.C. Family Caucus in Palmetto politics – especially on the issue of abortion.

On the energy front, we talked about state senator Tom Davis‘ push to restart an abandoned nuclear power project – and how it could fit within a “dramatic reshaping” of this issue under Trump’s “America First’ energy policies.

Finally, Dylan detailed his reporting on the latest judicial scandal under the S.C. State House dome… where lawmakers continue to struggle with the notoriously corrupt process by which judges are chosen in South Carolina.

I also sat down with our Jenn Wood to go through her report on legislation aimed at standardizing investigations into boat crashes. Pushing this bill is the family of Jaden Phillips – who died four days after a crash near the Bates Bridge landing (located just south of the Congaree National Park on the border of Richland and Calhoun counties).

Jurisdictional confusion, emergency response issues and allegations of insufficient investigation by law enforcement have dominated discussion of this case – which remains the focus of a pending civil action.

Also, at the outset of this week’s program I provided brief updates related to our reporting on a public corruption investigation into officials in North Charleston, S.C. as well as the spectacular implosion of an insurance benefits company in Greenville, S.C.

Trump is proving to be the immoral tyrant he promised to be. He is literally pulling protection from people whose lives are under threat for things he approved because they did not put him ahead of their country. He is happy to see them die, just like he was happy for his supporters to hang Mike Pense, and kill Pelosi. Their deaths and the Nazification of America is on Trump and everyone who supported him. Future generations will say, how did Americans tolerate the evil that man and his cult brought to America. There will be no answer other than hate and stupidity.

As a Christian, I should pray for each of your enlightenment and forgiveness, but God and I are having a stern discussion about my weakness, because right now I would be happy to see you all rot in hell with the tyrant you brought to power. God forgive me.

Tyrant? Hahaha. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Maybe you don’t like Americans to have a leg up on foreign invaders or maybe you’re okay with globopedohomo. Good for you, man. Enjoy the next 4 years.
