We listened to dozens of campaign ads to find the four most shocking, funny or hideous ads from across the Nation. Listen...
A shocking new report from the FDIC shows just how bad nearly 40% of South Carolina has it. Many on a payday loan or check cashing spiral meaning they aren't even making it from payday to payday. Mercedes Garcia from Master Your Card shares the alternative and what this says about South Carolina.
General Bob Livingston, The Adjutant General of South Carolina is the only military man in the World that has to play politics. Isn't it time we changed that?
Ed Murray, The Green Party candidate for Superintendent of Education tells us that many kids in rural and impoverished school districts don't think they have a chance. Teachers have a role in showing them they "can."
Patrick Bryant, Chairman of Yes4Schools challenges Bryan's call to vote No for the one-cent sales tax extension. Bryan has stated that he doesn't think our school board is in check and until it get's its act together, we should vote NO.
From ethics violations, to failed departments, drunk SCDOT chief, a "Rock-Star" DSS Chief that resigns weeks later in shame to shady business deals....How can we re-elect Governor Haley when she hides behind Facebook and runs from the media like a coward?
chs county Democrat Party Chairman Brady Quirk-Garvan says the Republicans had a chance to act to replace Bobby Harrell and it's too late to do it a week before the election. Is the Democrat candidate (to replace Bobby Harrell) a shoe-in.
Bryan asks Bakari Sellers if his campaign has been a struggle due to Obama's destruction of the Democrat brand. Bakari responds by asserting differences he has with the President on some major issues.
Sources tell us she is hammering out the terms of her resignation. This is unconfirmed. Here are the details (audio).
Many are saying Vincent Sheheen intended to call SC Governor Haley the "W" word; Bryan asks Senator Vincent Sheheen (Dem for Gov) to set the record straight...

In a new Change.org petition, some of the members of The Saving Shem Creek page are trying to assert that locals who have owned their homes for many years should have much lower tax bills than newbies ("come latelys" as they sometimes call it).
Mary Tinkler is the Democrat vying for ousted Bobby Harrell's seat. Is she conservative, liberal? What will she do on important local issues that Harrell has championed?
No! Grunting on Home Improvement had nothing to do with race. It had to due with male Ego. Tim Allen made grunting sounds a lot. And, the players at Charleston's Academic Magnet football team smashing watermelons to celebrate a win is nothing more than a parent of the losing team getting upset over their teams defeat!
What you say, do and when you do it may play in a role as to whether you keep your job or not!
Marijuana? Taxes? Ethics? Gay Marriage? Social Issues? And, then, Bryan asks, "why not take your message to the Republican party and join?"
OCTOBER 17. Is your Home Owners Association Hell? Another story about HOA's slam you with fees and how they get away with it. Plus, is Charleston just one disaster away from a real estate and housing mess?

Bryan was chastised for about a week for suggestion that after Same-Sex marriage was legal, the next initiative would be to go after your Church. He was assured through offensive commentary that would not happen and that he was simply being a "hater." Then, there is Houston, TX. Did you hear what they did to 5 churches in Houston Texas?
Steve French, the Libertarian for Governor of South Carolina said, Nikki Haley's jobs numbers is like sex: "If you have to pay for it don't brag about it." That's probably the best line of the Governor's debate for South Carolina. We're bribing companies to come here because otherwise we are not attractive. What can we do to save YOUR tax dollars?
Bryan spoke to Congressman Mark Sanford for his reflection on Friday's Congressional (Special) hearing in Dallas concerning the Ebola Crisis. Should we feel at ease about the Nation's handling of Ebola? What is the truth? And WHO is in Charge?
Tom Ervin, independent Republican for Governor, shares stories of where South Carolina has given tax incentives in exchange for jobs that haven't come. Is Tom saying that Governor Haley is giving incentives in exchange for campaign contributions?
Colleen Condon, the first gay woman in SC to apply for a marriage license this past Wednesday joined WQSC to discuss her views on why Same-Sex Marriage should be legal. But, if you listen closely, what Bryan has been saying sounds all too true: After the LGBT crowd gets gay marriage legalized the next battle goes to businesses and perhaps even Churches to force acceptance. You decide from what you hear here.
Have you heard of the EPA's latest big power grab? Well, you might be interested to know they are trying to take over the Waterways with the Water of the United States plan (public comment period extended). What does this mean to Lowcountry business and development? Hint: not good.
There seems to be a movement to point out plastic in our waterways. A recent study suggests we have 7.5 tons of plastic in our waterways. After one such study similar to this in Washington D.C., they instituted a PLASTIC BAG TAX that's costing taxpayers and businesses millions of dollars! Is that coming here?
Atlanta Mayor and Council has decided to Ban the Box. This means the City of Atlanta has joined the movement to turn a blind-eye to the criminal history of employees it hires. Does this mean that someone who was convicted of financial theft could end up managing your tax dollars?
The answer may surprise you. Dogs CAN get Ebola, but may show no symptoms. Would they, then, be contagious?
You have to raise lots of funds right? What shapes most politicians in our State? Donations right? The RPAC (political action committee) has donated money and endorsed a guy for RMC (who oversees deeds and mortgages in Charleston County) who just moved here three years ago and doesn't even own a property in the County, according to the incumbent.
South Carolina is number two in Domestic Violence in the United States - and that was an improvement! Atty. General Alan Wilson explains why that may appear so bad, but recognizes something has to be done. What does he think will turn the tide? You may be surprised at where he thinks we should start.
Steven Weisman, a leading media attorney discusses the implications of the George Washington Professor John Banzahf's attack on Radio and TV in an attempt to force The Washington Redskins to change its name. Is your favorite radio station's license at risk just for using the name Redskins in common sports and News/Talk Reporting? Just how far will the activists go in silencing free speech?
The Charleston County School Board basically tells the voters of Charleston County that if you don't pass our 1% sales tax extension, we'll double your taxes! Which is worst? Charleston County's Blackmail or Berkeley County's illegal campaign activity?
An Arkansas real estate agent, Beverly Carter went to show a house last Thursday. She was found dead in a shallow grave early Tuesday morning. Her accused killer, Aaron Carter, says he didn't do it. She was a "rich broker" and "lonely." If you're selling a car, an iphone, furniture or selling for a living, how can you be assured that you are safe?
Blocking development in West Ashley or South Mount Pleasant? Want to see what the Urban sprawl looks like in the form of traffic? Try Dorchester Road between Trolley, Bacons Bridge and Orangeburg at 5:30pm and you'll see it clearly.
Bobby Harrell was arraigned on 9 counts of ethics violation and misuse of his public office today in Columbia. Let's not make it about Bobby Harrell. Why should this bother you deeply?
Robert Harrell III ("Trey") wrote an article form his Columbia Law Office (for Fits News) reminding us that Charleston was a dangerous place after dark North of Broad Street prior to 1980. And, it was hospitality that moved that line to Calhoun and then nearly to the Crosstown. Why would you destroy what made you better by closing restaurants and bars early and attacking business Mayor Joe (others)?
Is social media destroying our society so much that we think it's okay to issue a death threat to a college football player for a bad snap - OR - is it just revealing what has been hidden under the surface for years? Re: Clemson Ryan Norton Death Threat and more. (after Florida State Game)
Economic numbers? Jobs Numbers look good, right. Tom Ervin, says "half of the jobs she's announced [are missing]." But, Bryan charges back with "aren't they coming in the future?" How did Tom answer this very important question?
From the infamous parking garage on Shem Creek that really isn't a parking garage that really isn't on Shem Creek, to the horrific traffic daily on Dorchester Road, we MUST all find a point of agreement. Perhaps it's that we have failed to plan for the Tri-County's growth. If we can agree on that, it's a start. Where the disagreement begins is in the solutions. It can't be "stopping development," "eliminating progress" or creating less "density." Those are images for the problem; they are not the problem. Bryan Crabtree proposed a solution on Tuesday that we use public lands for new schools and parks, sell portions of the land to make the taxpayers whole, build light-rail after a full study of the best methods and invite (not reject) offices and businesses in the communities that people live (Goose Creek, Summerville, Mount Pleasant) so commute times are reduced. One caller tells us the price of getting it wrong: ONE OF OUR COUNTIES MAY SIMPLY FAIL. How do we fix the divide between growth and planning?
Dr. Michael Friedman, Clinical Psychologist, joins the Bryan Crabtree Show to discuss the role that big firms and organizations like the NFL must take in leadership to stem the domestic violence problem in America. Will the NFL use this as an opportunity or just hide the problem?
Jim Owens, who is a founding member and lead contributor to the Saving Shem Creek Facebook page (which boasts nearly 1000 members), is an employee of the firm that designed the project the group is most upset about (a four story building and two-level parking garage). What is the hidden agenda and/or financial gain, he may receive, from blocking a development his employer is profiting from creating? Bryan asks the question (later in the audio), "Why don't we start making our city better," instead of trying to "save it from being ruined?" Plus, one lady's comment on the Saving Shem Creek page made out of innocence and ignorance undermines their entire agenda. Listen:
Bryan covers the fact that expectations and "entitlement mentality" of people has contributed to a lot of degrees from colleges but not a lot of opportunity. What is missing from College and is it still worth it?
Tom Ervin, Independent Republican, reflects on the responses to his call to strip the SC Department of Social Services from Governor Haley and Senator Sheheen's pushback. Is Governor Haley unethical? The inference is yes, but why?
Tom Ervin, Independent Republican, reflects on the responses to his call to strip the SC Department of Social Services from Governor Haley and Senator Sheheen's pushback. Is Governor Haley unethical? The inference is yes, but why?
Bryan starts with D.S.S. (welfare) by asking if the agency should be put into receivership. Sheheen takes a stab at Governor Haley's record; no surprise. But, then in a shocking turn, he admits President Obama has been too partisan.
Aljazeera TV in combination with Union Operatives, employees with CEO Salary envy and The Seattle Times are very upset that Boeing chose North Charleston for the 787 Dreamliner.

Here's a big-time Union hit piece coming in full detail after Aljazeera teams up with Seattle Times and the Unions to dig deep into the North Charleston Boeing plant to find a handful of disgruntled workers.

Listen to this April 3, 2014 audio where this Mayor; Mayor Heitzler of Goose Creek BOLDLY lied to his audience. Are you going to put up with this?
Listen to this person try to explain why McDonalds should double her salary. Listen to her lie, listen to her try to take her personal circumstances and make it the responsibility of her employer to take care of her!
Remember the Mayor's Race a few months ago when Jerry Tekac challenged Mayor Heitzler? Tekac ran on the platform that if Goose Creek didn't become more business friendly, it would have to raise taxes and Mayor Heitzler called Tekac a liar. Remember that? Well, it turns out the Mayor is the liar. Because, guess what Goose Creek wants to do to property owners? Raise taxes! Hear the details.
Like Sands through the hour glass so are the days of Mark and Jenny Sanford! Have you heard Jenny's latest antics?

Didn't the kids of Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms get just as good of an education with the quality staff, teachers and parents when they were in the old Mamie Whitesides building?

Why doesn't Charleston County think through what is the best use of resources, like selling the Oceanfront land for perhaps enough money to build a new school instead of having so much capital tied up in the dirt/sand? Everyone wonder why Charleston County schools are underfunded and overcrowded?
Notice that no one is talking except Speaker Bobby Harrell about his case ending? He announced that the Attorney General referred his case out; he announced that The Grand Jury had expired. Is this the same Speaker that has been acting criminal all along? Attacking reporters, strong-arming the paper, trying to strip the Atty. General of power? Yes? But what is the truth about Bobby Harrell's ethics investigation.
Look at these photos. Is this what we are trying to save on Coleman and other roadways in the Charleston area? Bryan gets into the research and what's going to happen to Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Summerville if we don't get our planning right.
Fortunately, a bunch! But, why do people see fit to distort the facts when it comes to the building on Coleman Blvd? First, it was "Out of Town Developers are taking over." Wrong, these people are local. Second, it was a "parking garage." Wrong, it's a four story office building. Next, it was "changing the fabric of Shem Creek." Wrong! You can't see it from Shem Creek. Now, the messenger of truth, me, Bryan Crabtree is a "mouthpiece for developers creating another housing bubble." Wrong, I barely know the people building the garage and here's my real question on that: How does an office building have anything do with the housing market? Don't you realize that this area is going to change whether we like it or not? We are one of the fastest growing cities in the South and if we don't start embracing it, we're going to end up with gridlock. Audio with the developer about the lies and the truth:
Tom Ervin talks education, roads, and eliminating the income tax in South Carolina. He also thinks that raising the minimum wage in our State could help with poverty and welfare. Bryan challenges that belief.
Dr. Michael Friedman a clinical psychologist discusses with Bryan the various reasons that people may become depressed, which is one of the two major causes of suicides. And, what causes some veterans to have PTSD and battle depression? Why are the numbers so high?
Caleb Mattlock killed two women in 2012 has plead guilty. He robbed and then killed these two young women; then was given a plea deal. Why? He could actually see daylight again in his lifetime at just over 70 years old. Why not the death penalty?

Americans are more and more divided amongst each other; all or nothing opinions of subject-matter, divisive politics, separatists and in many cases liars. Yet, we should be united about the ails of the World, many of which want to destroy us. Why are we so angry and what can we do about it?
Tim Scott was profiled on ABC's this week this past Sunday. Even Charleston County GOP Chair John Steinberger was interviewed. The takeaway: "Conservatives have to start winning the war of ideas."
Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN says Ebola may eventually spread around the World; we've learned that 71 people have crossed our Southern border from the Countries currently experiencing the Ebola Outbreak. Should we be worried about the Doctor at Emory in Atlanta or Ebola coming through our border?
"We've opened ourselves to division in this country, disease, invasion and we are simply too ignorant and detached to do anything about it. When is our Country and its leaders going to wake up?
"Mt. Pleasant does not revolve around the Old Village; it evolves around 75,000 people." Then why do some citizens think they own the place?
Here's an exchange from a Mt. Pleasant community discussing their stupid Trash Cans. Wonder where the sense of community went in our Nation? It went the way of some Nazi HOA manager who is power hungry sending out fines, walking the neighborhood with clipboards, sending owners time-date stamped photos of their trash can staying out past dinner. This is what creates the real wars between neighbors and it should be outlawed not just locally, but by our state as a form of Harassment. This exchange is regarding whether a trash can should sit next to a garage or behind the fence.
Steve French, the Libertarian candidate for S.C. Governor, received a phone call offering his campaign manager and him $30,000 total to drop out of the Governor's Race. Bryan asks him if this person was a supporter of Ervin, Sheheen or Governor Haley.
Wait until you hear what the last caller thinks we should do. He'll catch you by surprise, and it will give the Murders a chance to come to peace in a matter of seconds!
Arizona's Joseph Wood, who shot his ex-girlfriend and her father in 1989, was pronounced dead one hour and 57 minutes after the execution started.

The shocking reason that the activists who are calling for more humane treatment have created this very problem....
Berkeley County School Board, ignoring that 1 in 3 kids has no father involved says "NO" to dads who want to spend time with their kids coaching sports. "This is ridiculous." They ignored a petition of over 500 people to stop this lunacy.
Thanks to the EPA, if your HVAC goes out, you're now going to spend 4-5 times the normal costs to repair it, in many cases. What did the EPA do that's busting your wallet?
The question the community should be asking of the Charleston Police is not "is its stop and frisk policy racial profiling," but, instead, asking, "did Medlin stop a mass shooting at Bridgeview Apartments?" What was Curnell planning to do with that stolen gun before being stopped by the officer and killing himself?
The ACLU and NAACP in Charleston is questioning the Charleston Police's Stop and Frisk policy on the heals of the 19 year old death of Denzel Curnell, who committed suicide in front of Officer Jamal Medlin. The real question here should be does the owner of the Bridgeview Apartments have the right to pay an off duty police officer to secure his common areas after dark? This is not about the police and racial profiling as this officer was working for a property owner at the time of this event.
From Florida, Georgia to South Carolina, Mary Lee has made her rounds (3500# Great White), and now she is mating. Are we excited that we are increasing the Great White Shark population off the coastal waters of GA, SC and FL?

Seacoast Dream Center in Ardmore: Then, there was the very reasonable caller, Randolph, a resident of the community amidst the discussion about solutions for poverty crime and drugs in our community. He said, he was welcoming to Seacoast and simply wanted everyone to sit down and find solutions, leaving "Hope" as being the new headline of this story.
Bryan reacts tot the Facebook comments that one Church is interested in just doing the Lord's work, for his approval and that perhaps Seacoast is just seeking man's approval. This...on the continuing saga of putting a "Dream Center" in Ardmore, highlights the real problem in some of our most challenged communities.
Seacoast Church bought a property in the Ardmore Community of West Ashley to open a Dream Center. A similar effort has led to a 75% reduction in crime and a huge lift in opportunity for an impoverished area of North Charleston. But, local community leaders are saying it may change the fabric of the community. Are they in denial of their problems or afraid of this one thing that might undermine the whole "Woe, is me" argument?
People in general have developed a sense of greedy behavior, lacking grace an empathy.

Bryan speaks to defense expert David Aylor (attorney) who adds that there are several possibilities in the case of Justin Ross Harris (the father of the Hot-car death in Atlanta - 22 month old Cooper). Could the "hot-car" death be a cover for some prior event?
Lancaster County - there has been another hot car death of a 3 year old child. This on the heals of learning about six other instances of near or actual heat-stroke by children being left in cars since Cooper Harris died in Atlanta, GA June 18.
Bryan and Mackenzie discuss dealing with "idiotic" Charleston HOA's and their arrogant attorneys. Mackenzie presents a "brick wall" of a challenge and Bryan gives advice on how to break that wall/barrier and serve the clients interests. What one unwritten rule did Bryan say must be broken here?
President Obama seems to think that everything that happens or doesn't happen in his Presidency is regarding a group of people that are against him. Why can't he understand that it's not about him? It's about what's best for the people! Bryan sets President Obama straight in this harsh 2 minute lecture.
Molly Spearman is hitting the poles and hitting the airwaves for the Republican SC Superintendent of Education runoff today. Bryan asks her several questions.

Rocky D joins Bryan to discuss Molly Spearman and Sally Atwater for SC Superintendent of Education. He comes out punching against Spearman (after the Bryan Crabtree Interview) and chimes in on the WORD Radio (Greenville) interview that made Atwater sound horrible on sex education issues. Rocky slams WORD "knucklehead;" "I'll punch him in the face!"
Rick Santorum, former Presidential Hopeful, called the Bryan Crabtree Show to double down on his endorsement for Henry McMaster as our Lt. Governor. Bryan also asks Rick as to why he thinks voters are so "checked out" of politics in SC.

Surely this isn't true, right? And would our Governor sign this?
Vincent Sheheen calls for a VA audit in SC and says vouchers may be a short-term solution until we can fix the problems with the VA. Bryan also asks him about the ethics bill that seems to support more of Bobby Harrell style of politics instead of less of it. Does Vincent Sheheen think such a bill will pass?
Attorney General Alan Wilson along with several state agencies are taking a proactive step to battle the growing problem of Human Trafficking. Just how big of a problem is Human Trafficking in South Carolina?

Bryan runs down the three candidates with the best shot of winning the race....well Graham will win but will he get more than 50%? Which candidate has the best shot at being in the runoff, if there is one? Bryan breaks it down and makes your decision easy....well sort of easy!
Bryan loses it about the reaction to the shooting this weekend in Berkeley County. "How can we keep sitting by without protecting our streets; why do we just keep reacting and trying to shut things down? Why don't we put enough police on the streets to protect the Coast of SC?" Bryan Adams, candidate for Sheriff calls in to add his "two cents."
Head of our South Carolina National Guard and incumbent Adjutant General S.C. Bob Livingston says Lt. Col. Breazeale not qualified to lead command. Gen. Livingston regrets that this race has been so focused on Lt. Col. Breazeale's Orlando Divorce and hopes we'll pass the referendum in November to have this position appointed by Governor. Bryan confronts Gen. Livingston with Lt. Col. Breazeale's accusations about recruiting bonuses and General Livingston fires back!
Bobby Harrell, (R), South Carolina Speaker of the House has a special interest slush fund according to Ashley Landess, President of S.C. Policy Council. Campaign donors and specialist interest give him money, he then spends the money to pay depreciation and taxes on his plane (according to Landess), and then admits some accounting errors; but wants his appointees to review the ethics complaint against him? Is this a conflict?
Lee Bright, candidate for Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in South Carolina coins the term "invaded" to describe our immigration situation.

And will he consider amnesty once the border is secure?

Is this a BIG conflict of interest?
What did Bobby Harrell District 114 Republican and South Carolina Speaker of the House do to have South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and Attorney General Alan Wilson investigate him and refer the case to a Grand Jury?

Bryan checked and there is no legal violation in this. Are the State Republicans simply threatened and why would they validate Ervin's campaign by doing this?
Did you know that all of the mass shootings since 1950, except two, were in gun-free zones. Then why will Fort Hood become "gun control" again?

The death panels are probably not real in the technical sense, but these examples certainly sound like indirect death panels. Are the death panels written into the coverage so certain patients can't get the care they need?
