SOUTH CAROLINA US SENATE VACANCY - Guest Mark Sanford

All right, let's jump into some issues, Mark Sanford, and the race itself.

Joel's going to talk with you about some issues.

I want to ask you this question because I think it relates to the race.

The Republican Party has changed dramatically since you were first elected back in 1994.

It is arguably a very different party.

Talk quickly about the changes and how you fit into that now.

I

mean, that is the wildcard question of the race.

I mean, there's no getting around that.

And I've had some differences with the president.

And, you know, on the debate stage last night, everybody was like, I agree 100 percent with the president.

I agree 100 percent with the president.

I said, well, I agree most of the time, about 90 percent of you pull my voting record.

But we disagree, too.

And my point was, that's the American way.

I mean, I love my brothers and sister, but I don't agree with 90 percent of it.

And so I think it's important if you're going to have local representation, you know, the Bible says you can't serve two masters.

You can't say I'm going to just serve a Washington perspective 100 percent of the time, because at times that Washington perspective may be different than what we want as South Carolinians.

And so my point is, it's OK to disagree.

And if you really want a local voice.

then you need to occasionally disagree with Washington, D.C., and we should embrace that diversity of different opinions as opposed to saying that doesn't fit.

And so we'll find out is the answer.

My belief is that, you know, every – Fever has, you know, it's sort of ebbing.

And I think that there's some of that.

I mean, I think that, you know, a lot of people are frustrated with us being back in the Middle East and sort of the ongoing operations there.
