Speaker 2 (00:10):
We're going to go deep into the weeds here when
it comes to politics, this now, more than ever is
an important time to be discussing by law, what is
called reorganization. It's a political parties every two years have
to come together and it's called reorganization and go through
a process. It's precinct by precinct. So where you go
(00:32):
and vote, the area around where you go and vote,
whether it's the school or the church or whatever, it's
your neighborhood. You organize, you meet, you elect party positions
that represent your area at upcoming convention actually coming in
the spring. So whether you're a Democrat or Republican listening,
this goes for you to get involved.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm speaking with a Britt Mahoney, Brits with most Fitness
in Summerville. Congratulations on your opening by the way.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh thank you so much, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So you are with a Dorchester GOP. So you're a
member there of the Dorchester Republican Party and I know
your reorganization. There's all different counties that have reorg going
on right now. I know Charleston, I don't know if
they've wrapped theirs up. Finally, Berkeley as well, and Dorchester's
is this week.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So it is a week process because we do have
a lot of precincts, so basically from the ground level,
locally each precinct and you can find your precinc if
you go to sdvote dot gov look in your voter
registration and your precinct should come up in your county.
And so matching your precincts to our list of precincts
(01:43):
for each night and that is the night that you
attend your reorg, So from March seventeenth all the way
actually until that Friday, so we have it split up
into different nights. So March seventeenth, which is obviously tonight,
very important and there are some big pre thinks that
are going to be coming for tonight that think it's
(02:04):
really important that you go out and this is local
as local as it can be. Your precinct is basically
the area that you live in. It's your neighbors, and
you guys are coming together and being able to decide
of the higher delegation. Think about how important that is
from the lowest, lowest grass level, coming from literally down
(02:25):
at a table all the way up all the way
to Washington, so you can make your voice heard well.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And we're talking Republicans here, and let me just say,
I mean, I don't make any bones about my politics,
being a very unapologetic conservative Republican talk show, so I
can say this. The left is out there organizing the right.
I mean, they are out organizing the right for far
too long, brit And I say so often. You can
call into a talk show and complain about stuff, or
(02:53):
you can jump into action and do something. And that
means just coming out to Reork and seeing what it's
all about. It also means possibly running or serving or helping.
It's volunteering your time. We have with the epic re
election of Donald Trump, have not won some kind of
war here. You know, we might want a battle, but
(03:14):
this has just begun.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Absolutely And unfortunately, studies have shown that when we Republicans
win the White House, we tend to be a little
bit lazier when it comes to coming out to vote
for things like reorc It's like complacency.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Hey, well we want no it's just begun. It's just begun.
And if you don't act or run or serve. You
bet they are.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
One hundred percent, and that's why it's super important too.
So we have to look ahead even locally, especially in
all the local counties here. Remember there are governor's races
that are coming up in twenty twenty six. There's local
elections where people are now coming up. So you've got
to get involved. Don't get complacent now because your local
delegation and our governor of our state is very important
(03:58):
because if some reason in four years we have another Democrat,
we need to have a solid conservative majority here in
our state to help protect the members of our state.
If we get complacent and the Democrats start to take
over the state, if we've got a Democrat in the
White House, we're you know, we're New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Which is ironic, Britt. You say that because Britt Mahoney
actually moved here from New Jersey. I'll never forget the
first time you called into the show and we spoke
off air after and Britt and I were just like
two peas in a pod, and I just said to her, well,
you know, I had a best friend growing up in college.
I literally called her Jersey, who was very conservative too.
(04:40):
She was an amazing gal, but man, that Jersey sharp edge.
I told her she's going to be running for anything.
You might want to soften that with a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Honey, Yes, yes, I've got be working out.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
For you, Britt.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know what it's actually, I've had amazing people around me,
you included, but I've had amazing people coaches and kind
of helped me through kind of South Carolina and the
politics and everything and softening myself up a little bit.
So you know, I've have amazing people around me. And
that's why I love getting involved in all of the
local elections. And I'm actually running for the first vice
(05:16):
chair of the Dorchester County Republican Party. And this is
not a plug for me at all. I want people
to come out for reorg for themselves to be a
part of it. But just talking about just starting grass
roots and moving on up and being a part of stuff.
Just taking little steps to really jump in and really
help is very important. And it doesn't have to be
(05:37):
a big thing. Like you said, you could run for
an executive committeemen and you're precinct it's not a big thing,
but it's a step forward in really kind of making
a difference.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, I think those titles scare people that don't understand.
They're afraid that they don't have the time. It's too
much of a responsibility. But let's be clear about your backstory.
Britt Mahooney is a mother of how many children? Four
four kids, just opened her own business. Not only that,
here she is helping to organize grassroots level efforts of
(06:08):
a political party, this being the Republican Party in Dorchester County.
And you're walking your talk in that you're running for
vice chair. So if Britt can do it, and honestly,
your backstory is very powerful. You fled New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yes, I did so New Jersey back in twenty twenty,
which was the pandemic. You know, we were obviously we
had a blue governor and he just shut down the
whole state everything And I'm talking about the only thing
that was open, with liquor stores and strip clubs. So
it was like, if you could get your bad vices going,
that's all he really wanted. He took the kids out
of school. It was a really really bad time and
(06:45):
even worse time for my family, and my kids suffered
greatly from being out of school, dealing with depression, dealing
with my son who almost suicide. Like we had dealt
with a lot of stuff, and it just got to
the point where what is your limit? Where you get
to that point where you're like, you know what, I
want to look at my kids every day and every
night and say I did everything I could for you,
(07:07):
And I said, we can't stay here, like I'm not
paying taxes for the demise of my family. So we
picked up and left all of our family and we
moved to South Carolina where we felt that our family
could have a better life and better opportunities.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So very important you faced tyranny, you said no more.
You literally upended your entire family's lives, came here and
planted roots. This is what people need to hear. It's
very important, and for people who already have roots here
and you're not a part of the process that we're
talking about here with reorganization. I mean, I don't want
(07:42):
to throw up a shame on you flag here, but
it's important. How bad does our country need to get
before you do more than just complain about it. I
don't want to be that gal, but I get very
frustrated because I'm on the front lines of free speech
every day out here talking about for decades. The problem
the chickens have come home to roost.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
We're here.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
If you don't run, act and serve they.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Are, you're absolutely right. And also the big thing is
by everybody coming out is unifying the party because everyone's
going to have different opinions and different thoughts. But instead
of complaining about it, you really can't complain. If you're
not a part of the process. You can make a change.
We can come together and it's okay to have different
views in the Republican Party. It's okay. We can talk
about it in a civil way and we can figure
(08:27):
out the best route forward because you know, more than
one idea is definitely good than just one idea. But
we can't have those conversations if you're not getting out
and getting to the places that you need to be
to be a part of. This is not the time
to be complacent, because remember we're trying to set we're
not thinking about the present. The present. Yes, maybe we're
(08:49):
in honeymoon period now Donald Trump's there, we're watching the news,
we're laughing, We're like, this is amazing, right, right, But
we're setting up for future, about our future generations, our children,
our children's children, what world do you want them to
live in? So when you're sitting not going out and
doing anything, you're making a decision for your children and
(09:11):
your children's children that you know, I don't have the
time to worry about what's going to happen to you.
We need to make that time because time, that's all
we We don't have enough time to make all this
stuff happen. Light could be very short. You don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow. So I say, why not
get out today, put everything out there that you can,
(09:32):
and let's see where it takes us.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, because it all on you.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, because the alternative is way worse.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, we got a taste of it, and I'm not
looking back. So Britt mahoney, here we are talking about
Georchester Republicans. So GOP's reorganization coming up all week. My
advice to you is to show up, many hands make
light work. We all know that phrase, and if not,
it's true. And like any family, mommy and daddy sometimes fight,
(09:58):
and the infighting and the Republican Party is who's really
maga and who's really a rhter? A Republican a name
only basically, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
The Democrats don't do that. They don't say what is
your level of being a Democrat? They are one lockstep.
They don't measure each other. And in the Republican Party, unfortunately,
we measure each other like who's more conservative, who's less conservative?
It doesn't matter. Everybody is different on different different issues.
Think about it that way, like, so just because I
(10:29):
think one way about education and someone else thinks about
you know, another way, doesn't mean that they're less conservative.
It just means they have a different view on it.
So I want to understand. Okay, let me understand your view,
and I'd love to explain mine. But instead we choose
as like, well, you're not conservative enough, because that's a
that's a stupid view, which is not the way that
(10:50):
the Republican Party should act. We should say, like, you
know what, I love your thought process. Maybe we can
kind of come together and really like and we can
both talk about how your thought profit in my thought
process can kind of combine.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, well, this is what press want. They want a
wedge driven in the Republican Party, So why on earth
would we give them that. This is what I say
every time, So one of the things, believe it or
not Brittany, that I talked about on the air about
closing primaries, where people are actually divided about closing primaries,
which is interesting because closing primaries in South Carolina means
(11:25):
that Democrats can't come and vote in Republican primaries and
vice versa. Republicans can't you do that either. I support
closing the primaries, as does the head of the Republican
Party in South Carolina and others listening. I'm sure, and
you know what, Brittany, I don't understand how they're going
to handle independence and Green Party and libertarians, but we've
got to stop the crossover voting because it is muddying
(11:49):
the validity of our elections and undermining our individual votes.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I agree, and I also believe in closed primaries. I
believe that if you're declaring yourself as a Republican, should
have that right to solely be voting in your own election,
and somebody who declared themselves as a Democrat should not
be crossing over and deciding your candidate. I truly believe that,
and I look at it like you wouldn't want somebody
(12:14):
coming into your school that doesn't live and doesn't live
in your district. That I mean, we wouldn't want We
weren't on BET, so why would we want somebody coming
and crossing over into our primary?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So what is this wacky bombshell that has been discovered
outed with regards to eliminating our primaries? To me, that
sounds like lunacy, I mean preposterous.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It is another group that is out there. They are statewide,
they are not, so it's not individualized to a certain area. However,
my opponent put out a email with her name on
it stating that their party has decided that they want
to have a closed caucus to decide who is going
(12:59):
to be our our candidate for our elections in the
Republican Party, which basically means they're taking the power away
from the people and they are closing it off to
a caucus, which who selects these caucuses. I'm not really
sure a closed door meeting of saying this is going
to be our candidate and we get one choice, one choice,
(13:19):
and that is it. If we have this system, when
Donald Trump was running in the beginning, we would have
had Jeb Bush and he wouldn't have been a nominee. So,
just to put it in those terms, taking it away
from the people you have the right. If you have
the right to vote, you have the right to vote
your voice. And every person in South Carolina should be
furious that there is even discussion of taking away their
(13:41):
rights to a primary to decide the person that is
going to run for whatever position they're running for. There
should be choices a primary. If you've never voted in
a primary, you might have I don't know, seven, eight
choices or however many they want to have. You choose
from those choices. That's what a primary is. Then it
narrows it down. You know, whoever wins, that's that's the candidate,
(14:04):
and then they go on from there. If you take
away that primary and have a closed caucus, you have
no saying it's you get what you get, you don't
get upset, which is not a way of free Americans.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Definitely not well so the idea of changing our primaries
to a caucus. And so this is coming from a
faction inside the Republican Party. I don't see how this
is going to get any kind of footing. I really don't.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Well. My opponent put out something yesterday on Facebook saying
that there is some validity to it, and now she's
backtracking that She didn't say that she agreed with it,
but she said there is some validity to it. So
what I would say is people need to need to
be able to ask those questions to you know, this
this group that is put out there, that there's validity
to it. What is the reason why there's legs to it?
(14:51):
What is the reason why do you believe this? You
say that your ultra conservative, you voted for Donald Trump,
but yet you want to take away from South Carolina
voters their chance to actually vote. So pushing back and
asking these questions to these candidates or these people that
are pushing this is really important. And the last thing
(15:12):
that's going to out organize them is getting to reorg
and find out who your America first people are that
don't believe in taking away your vote. And you go
there and you go there with your friends, your neighbors,
your aunts, uncles, nephews, whoever can vote, and you out
organize them all.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Right, Britt Mahoney, she's Dorchester. Jup. It's reorganization time, y'all.
Spring is in the air, so get movie.

Think about it that way, like, so just because I
(10:29):
think one way about education and someone else thinks about
you know, another way, doesn't mean that they're less conservative.
It just means they have a different view on it.
So I want to understand. Okay, let me understand your view,
and I'd love to explain mine. But instead we choose
as like, well, you're not conservative enough, because that's a
that's a stupid view, which is not the way that
(10:50):
the Republican Party should act. We should say, like, you
know what, I love your thought process. Maybe we can
kind of come together and really like and we can
both talk about how your thought profit in my thought
process can kind of combine.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, well, this is what press want. They want a
wedge driven in the Republican Party, So why on earth
would we give them that. This is what I say
every time, So one of the things, believe it or
not Brittany, that I talked about on the air about
closing primaries, where people are actually divided about closing primaries,
which is interesting because closing primaries in South Carolina means
(11:25):
that Democrats can't come and vote in Republican primaries and
vice versa. Republicans can't you do that either. I support
closing the primaries, as does the head of the Republican
Party in South Carolina and others listening. I'm sure, and
you know what, Brittany, I don't understand how they're going
to handle independence and Green Party and libertarians, but we've
got to stop the crossover voting because it is muddying
(11:49):
the validity of our elections and undermining our individual votes.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I agree, and I also believe in closed primaries. I
believe that if you're declaring yourself as a Republican, should
have that right to solely be voting in your own election,
and somebody who declared themselves as a Democrat should not
be crossing over and deciding your candidate. I truly believe that,
and I look at it like you wouldn't want somebody
(12:14):
coming into your school that doesn't live and doesn't live
in your district. That I mean, we wouldn't want We
weren't on BET, so why would we want somebody coming
and crossing over into our primary?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So what is this wacky bombshell that has been discovered
outed with regards to eliminating our primaries? To me, that
sounds like lunacy, I mean preposterous.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It is another group that is out there. They are statewide,
they are not, so it's not individualized to a certain area. However,
my opponent put out a email with her name on
it stating that their party has decided that they want
to have a closed caucus to decide who is going
(12:59):
to be our our candidate for our elections in the
Republican Party, which basically means they're taking the power away
from the people and they are closing it off to
a caucus, which who selects these caucuses. I'm not really
sure a closed door meeting of saying this is going
to be our candidate and we get one choice, one choice,
(13:19):
and that is it. If we have this system, when
Donald Trump was running in the beginning, we would have
had Jeb Bush and he wouldn't have been a nominee. So,
just to put it in those terms, taking it away
from the people you have the right. If you have
the right to vote, you have the right to vote
your voice. And every person in South Carolina should be
furious that there is even discussion of taking away their
(13:41):
rights to a primary to decide the person that is
going to run for whatever position they're running for. There
should be choices a primary. If you've never voted in
a primary, you might have I don't know, seven, eight
choices or however many they want to have. You choose
from those choices. That's what a primary is. Then it
narrows it down. You know, whoever wins, that's that's the candidate,
(14:04):
and then they go on from there. If you take
away that primary and have a closed caucus, you have
no saying it's you get what you get, you don't
get upset, which is not a way of free Americans.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Definitely not well so the idea of changing our primaries
to a caucus. And so this is coming from a
faction inside the Republican Party. I don't see how this
is going to get any kind of footing. I really don't.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Well. My opponent put out something yesterday on Facebook saying
that there is some validity to it, and now she's
backtracking that She didn't say that she agreed with it,
but she said there is some validity to it. So
what I would say is people need to need to
be able to ask those questions to you know, this
this group that is put out there, that there's validity
to it. What is the reason why there's legs to it?
(14:51):
What is the reason why do you believe this? You
say that your ultra conservative, you voted for Donald Trump,
but yet you want to take away from South Carolina
voters their chance to actually vote. So pushing back and
asking these questions to these candidates or these people that
are pushing this is really important. And the last thing
(15:12):
that's going to out organize them is getting to reorg
and find out who your America first people are that
don't believe in taking away your vote. And you go
there and you go there with your friends, your neighbors,
your aunts, uncles, nephews, whoever can vote, and you out
organize them all.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Right, Britt Mahoney, she's Dorchester. Jup. It's reorganization time, y'all.
Spring is in the air, so get movie.
