H1 - Segment 1 - Thur Aug 21 2025 - Heidi Harris in for Charlie James When i first started radio used to get horrific dreams that would wake me up at night

I I don't know. I what is the unofficial motto of, the Charlie James show? It's a great day to ruin a Democrat's day, and we try to do that every single day here on the program because we love liberal tears. But I think that is also one of the things that president Trump strives to do. I wonder what he was thinking about when he, you know, when he had this latest idea.

Maybe he woke up, got out of bed this morning and said, Melania, let me tell you what I'm gonna do. I got a brand new plan that's gonna destroy these Democrats. It's gonna make them lose their minds. Let me tell you my plan. We're gonna have a big, beautiful, black wall.

The wall's gonna be black. You're gonna love it. It's gonna be president Trump is literally painting the wall black. Secretary, homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, talked about it at the border. I think she did.

If she will, if this thing will load here. Let me see. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. Come on now.

Don't leave me hanging. Oh, doggone it. I don't know what's gonna be. Our computer just froze up there for just a second. Anyway, when she comes on, she comes on, but they're painting the border wall black.

Now this isn't for now two reasons for this. Number one, I've seen the wall. I've been to the wall. The wall in those elements, it's rusted. It's a rusted wall.

Not all the way through, but it's rusted. But for the second reason is, it's gonna make the border wall unbelievably hot to the touch. Because people, believe it or not, I mean, they they have scaled this wall. Right? They've they've climbed up that bad boy.

How do you do that? I don't know, but they have. Let's see. We got Christie at home. Nope.

Not just yet. I don't know what's going on with the old computer there, but they're I just think it's genius. I think it's it's it's almost evil genius, but it is genius. Let's see how we can make the wall more uncomfortable to these illegals when they try to scale it. Let's let's paint it in a color that is just going to absorb all of that heat and transfer it into your little fingers when you try to climb up that thing.

I think it's brilliant. I don't know about you guys, but I just I just absolutely love it. But it's it is. It's like he wakes up every morning going, how can we make him cry today? How can we make him cry?

Oh, there you go. And, of course, we got five seventy seven. When the sooner Trump shut up? Listen. No.

Listen. All you people, all of you negative nellies over on the text line, I want you to understand something. You are literally spinning into the wind. You are speaking into a vacuum. So few people believe what you believe.

The vast majority of Americans are loving what this president is doing, and he they are loving the timing of all of this. I don't care what the the pundits over there. They're all like, woah. What are we gonna do? We're loving it.

It's great. You find me a true actual conservative out there that isn't just as happy as a lark right now with what's going on. And when we sing see things like this, I mean, we're actually more happy. Charlie, the sooner Trump figures out the true nature of Putin and the Russian's military, the better. Oh, o May.

I had no idea. I had no idea you were such an expert on the Russian military. Really? Where did you get your training? Where did you oh, CNN?

Is that where you got it? Oh, okay. Okay. There you go. Well, anyway, this guy's done more.

He's done more for the average American than Charlie, how about being a positive Pollyanna? Hello? Not a Pollyanna. Nobody's a Pollyanna. We're just positive.

Pollyanna is a negative, by the way. So, anyway, president Trump is doing great things, and you know it. And if you don't know it, well, you haven't been paying attention. When we get back, we got more good news coming out of Greenville County Council. A, ordinance is dead.

We'll tell you about that. Coming up next is the Charlie James Show. News talk ninety eight nine WARD, the voice of The Ca ...

And welcome to the program on your Wednesday afternoon. So glad to have you. And we're just gonna jump in. Oh, by the way, Bill Ryan, the new, I guess, sheriff elect of Spartanburg County, so to speak, will be, on the program with us at 04:06 this afternoon. But right now, we're being joined by attorney general Alan Wilson.

Attorney general, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well. Hey, Charlie. It's great to be on your, show again. Thanks for having me back, sir.

I appreciate. First, we're gonna talk to the attorney general, then we're gonna talk to the candidate for governor. Okay? Okay. Sounds good.

I can hold on. Let me put that hat on. I got my AG hat on. Look at that. That's perfect.

Now you sent out a, a press release the other day. You know, school has just started back all over the Upstate, and you have this, issue, on parental rights guide. Tell us a little bit about that and and what all it entails. Well, Charlie, with kids going back to school, it's important for parents to be reminded of what their rights are as it relates to the care, education, and rearing of their own children. And, a couple of things have happened in the recent weeks that have kinda prompted us to put this out, and I'll get to that momentarily.

Okay. But, basically, parents need to be reminded that you have a right to be involved in the, the the raising of your children. This has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court. You have a right and the responsibility to be involved in your child's education. Any teacher, any school that does anything to undermine that is wrong and acting out of concert with the law.

In fact, the general assembly even passed a parental involvement in their children's education act, which seeks to encourage the establishment and maintenance of parent friendly school settings. Parents have basic rights. You have the right to teach your child your own belief and value system. You have a right to believe. Any attempts by teachers or school districts to violate those beliefs, like requiring students or, to, you know, use preferred pronouns Right.

Or forcing students to affirm pronouns or genders of other kids against the values of that family, that they don't have the right to do that. You have the right to know that your child is safe at school. Obviously, the general assembly passed a law prohibiting boys from going into girls' private spaces and vice versa. The fourth circuit court of appeals just enjoined that law to allow a transgender student into the opposite sex, personal space. You know, there are there are kids across this country who have been sexually assaulted by members of the opposite sex.

Right. Your children have a right to be safe in schools, and as a parent, you have a right to know that your child is being protected. And that is why I'm going to the United States Supreme Court on defending South Carolina's law. You have the right to, to, read, or you have the right for your children to only have access to age appropriate materials in their school libraries. And you have the right to know who is teaching your children, the backgrounds of teachers, as well as what they're teaching your children.

Recently in Dorchester County, there was a teacher posting Yep. Violent, extremist, gory stuff on social media, and this is an elementary school teacher. That teacher was suspended. But you have the right to know who was handling the most precious thing in your life, and that is your own child. So these are basic fundamental and constitutional rights that parents have in this office and I as the attorney general and as a future governor, we'll talk about that in a minute, will defend us to my dying breath.

And and that's it. I mean, when you look at some of this stuff that that teacher down in Georgia, Chester County was, was publishing and putting out on social media, I mean, you have to sit there and go, oh my gosh. How did that person even even get hired to begin with? That is the qu ...
