Political violence flared up across America this past week as far left angst over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) boiled over. The violence even spread to South Carolina, where a North Charleston man was arrested after attempting to firebomb a Tesla charging station.
Special projects director Dylan Nolan and I discussed the rising violence – as well as the prevailing economic uncertainty at the national level.
At the state level, we dove into some shocking new polling data on one of South Carolina’s most important upcoming elections – the 2026 governor’s race – and the behind-the-scenes machinations related to that race. Dylan and I also updated the ongoing lawsuit reform drama in the Palmetto State – and discussed my big article on the emergence of a DOGE SC organization led by Isle of Palms, S.C. businessman Rom Reddy.

Is anyone taking bets on how quickly Rom Reddy would dismantle the agencies involved with his illegal seawall?
