The Charlie James Show Podcast

I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. Yes, sir. And it was never more obvious than with what went on at The Hague, and I'll get to that coming up in just a second. It was absolutely magnificent.

But right now, let's go to Amy up in North Carolina. Amy, welcome to the program. Amy, are you there? Well, I'm Debbie. I'm not Amy, so I don't know if you got the right one.

Yep. That's you. Go right ahead. Okay. I was listening, was getting back to the, autopen thing.

I was listening about a day or two ago, and the ones that were done there, it it and, you know, 52 Right. That he had done with the, pardons and committing sentences and whatnot. 31 of them, you know, they thought they'd been signed with the autopan, and then the little woman you're talking about there while ago that, you know, didn't know who'd used them, but she is so kind in charge and didn't know who'd used them and and and who hadn't. But, you know, she had done what she needed to do and put them before the committee, and and after that, she didn't know what went and what didn't. But if if, on that last day that all those were signed and and Biden had just said, you know, days before that he would not pardon Hunter.

Well, you know, that that can't be so if it took him several days to decide what to use the pen on and whatnot. Well, that was the thing. Hunter Biden's pardon was the only one that was an auto pen. Oh, okay. Yeah.

His was the only one that was not the auto pen. I appreciate it, Amy. Thank you so much. So president Trump over at The Hague today. And boy, I'd tell you what, the, secretary, over there of of NATO, he was heaping praise on president Trump left and right.

He was just, oh, you are you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. It was really amazing. Let's take a listen, to, some of this. Where is this? Hold on.

Let me let me see if I can find it here. I where'd he go? Here he is. Here he is. This is the NATO secretary general praising Trump.

Let me first be very thoughtful from spending. I just want to recognize your decisive action on Iran. Thank you. You are a man of strength, but you're also a man of peace. And the fact that you are now also successful in getting this ceasefire done between Israel and Iran, I really want to commend you for that.

Thank you, And I think this is important for the whole world. And he just he just laid praises on president Trump. And why? Because president Trump is now getting European countries to increase their spending to NATO. The back and forth.

Where do things stand right now? It has been a busy twenty four hours, Anna, starting with Iran's counterattack at US assets in The Middle East, which seems to have been mostly for show, at a Qatari, airbase. That kicked off discussions involving the president, the emir of Qatar, and the Iranians while the president was also working with Israelis to try to see if they could forge this truce. The vice president got involved, and, ultimately, you had the announcement on Truth Social last night that there would be a ceasefire. There were some Okay.

Hold on. Let's get to the other, part of this. Here we go. Our ultimately colleague, prime minister Netanyahu, asked him Nope. That's not it that he does.

Sorry. But president Trump has gotten the members of of Europe because it used to be 2% of your GDP. Two two percent of your your nation's gross GDP. Now he's calling for 5%, and the the European countries have agreed to pay 5% of their GDP to fund NATO. Well, most of them have.

Now let me ask you something. In the four years of Joe Biden, did Biden ever ask the NATO members to increase their spending? No. He did not. Did Obama ever do that?

No. He did not. Did Bill Clinton ever do that? No. He did ...

And welcome to the program. Glad to have you along with us. Oh my goodness. What a day. What an absolute day.

We've been hearing about this report from the, the Defense Intelligence Agency. A a report of low confidence. It's a report of low confidence. Do you know what that means? Now what a lot of these people in the mainstream media are trying to tell you is that this is they have that this report just said that there was low confidence that the mission over in Iran was successful, but that's not what it means.

That is exactly the opposite of what this means. When they say this is a report of low confidence, that means there is low confidence in the report. They admit that they don't have all of the intelligence in place. They don't have all of their facts together. They just came out and they said, well, you know, we don't know how much damage it really did.

Well, of course, they don't. They haven't been able to go in there. But all these people in the media come along and say, well well, president Trump, is attacking Iran, probably didn't do as much as he well, my again, a report of low confidence. That means they've got low confidence in the report. Okay?

But they're running with it. And first of all, this was a this was a leaked intelligence assessment. It was leaked. And, also, it was run with by CNN and The New York Times, and now all the mainstream media is picking up on this. And I'm telling you what, they're gonna have to eat some crow.

They're gonna have to eat some crow. President Trump talked about that today at The Hague, and he was none too happy with these fake news reporters out there issuing these statements. Why is it? And, again, you gotta ask yourself, why is it why are they so anti American? Now we know they're anti Trump.

We get that. But why can't they at least support our troops? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And by the way, a lot of these people that are saying, well, look at this report. This report says it didn't do much damage to Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities.

Hold on just a second. I thought just a few days ago, you guys were doubting that Iran even was working on a nuclear weapon. There is no evidence that that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon. That was a couple days ago. Today.

Well, there's no evidence that president Trump did any damage to Iran's nuclear weapon program. Like, what what well, if it didn't exist according to you guys, how could it do a lot of damage? You see how they've got one goal in mind. One, make Donald Trump look bad. That's their only plan.

Charlie, there is low confidence reporting, low confidence in the reporting of MSNBC, MSDNC, and CNN. You're exactly right. I have no confidence in their reporting whatsoever. These are the same people that went with Russia, Russia, Russia. These are the same people that went with, Hunter Biden's laptop was all a hoax.

This is the same people who refuse to say anything bad about China. So, anyway but no matter what what is out there, The the Donald Trump was a huge hit at The Hague with that NATO summit. Huge hit. They love the guy over there. Just absolutely crazy about it.

Let's listen to some major league butt kissing from the, from the, NATO secretary. Here we go. I just want to recognize your decisive action of Europe. Thank you. You are a man of strength, but you're also a man of peace.

And the fact that you are now also successful in getting this ceasefire done between Israel and Iran, I really want to commend you for that. Thank you, sir. And I think this is important for the whole world. Man, they were they were snuggling up to Donald Trump. And what was he able to do with The Hague at this NATO summit?

Well, I'll tell you what he was able to do. He was able to get people to actually start ponying up their share of the budget from for NATO. We've been the ones that have been carrying the load on that. So he's gotten these it used to be what? I think it was 2% of your GDP.

That's what you were ...

And welcome to the program. Glad to have you along with us. Oh my goodness. What a day. What an absolute day.

That's what you were ...

And welcome back to the program. Let's go to Clint traveling up there near Saluda. What's going on, Clint? Hey, Charlie. How's it going, man?

Hey. It's going great. What's up? I wanted to, get your thoughts on something. I was just thinking when you were talking about the mainstream media earlier Yeah.

And, I started to kinda fantasize a little bit about what if Elon Musk managed somehow to buy the New York Times. Oh, man. The implications be. I'll I'll take their response offline, but I go ahead. I appreciate it, buddy.

I the the liberal heads would explode. Now if he wanted to do something, really, really cool, he should buy MSNBC. That would be oh my gosh. These and turn it into a conservative a real true conservative network. That way, we wouldn't have to want to, you know, those guys.

That would be amazing. But liberals were oh oh, man. Then you know what then they would do? You know what would happen if if if you were to buy the New York Times? Liberals would all of a sudden be screaming about, quote, unquote, foreign ownership of American media.

I remember they were all for George Soros buying 40% of this radio company. Oh, yes. Let's let him do it. Let oh, yeah. In fact, they they fast tracked that bad boy.

But if Elon Musk was to buy The New York Times or MSNBC, all of a sudden, all these Democrats would be going, oh, no. No. No. He's not. He is not a natural born citizen.

He can't own American media. They would change their tune pretty doggone quickly. Let's go to Chuck in Mills River and talk to him about the most predictable thing in the world. Chuck, how are you, man? I am so vindicated, man, and I really wanna thank you.

I no. I really wanna thank you for letting, the he whose name I won't mention today Yeah. Call in later. I I knew I knew it wasn't the guy. I know I know the guy that that called me that name.

Yeah. But I did want to point out that if you had to let him call and and have him speak, and he was very see, the Liberals listen up. Liberals listen up. If you call the show and you act responsibly and talk respectfully and are polite, you get your say, man. Yeah.

It's a good conversation. Say. Absolutely. Exactly. Exactly.

And and it did. It vindicated my whole point that they're so predictable because what I said, like, the phone call right before he called in was, don't make up some excuse though, about Medvedev, what he said. And, you know, dude said, well, he'd burn the world if he could. And I was like, well, he have four years and a day to do it, and he didn't. So it's the same with Trump.

They said, oh, he's a dictator. Oh, he's oh, he's he's he's a fascist. He's like, he's gonna put everybody in jail and put us in camps. It's like, well, you know, he had four years to do that before Right. And he didn't.

What makes you think he's gonna do it now? But they are really predictable. And I've got to say, I am tickled beyond delight about the impeachment vote today. What was it? A 128 Democrats, like, with Republicans not to impeach?

It was like it was like 344 to 78. Okay. I I it was like it was like the two it was it was like the b twos coming in. I didn't see that coming. Right.

Right. You didn't see all those because they know. They know. The American people are are just crazy about this guy right now. And we are sick and tired of being force fed the diatribe that we've we've been forced over these years.

And maybe the I don't know if right now they're scared or if they're learning their lesson. There's a big difference. There is a big difference. A lot to do with learning a lesson sometimes. But but I believe that right now, they're like, oh my god.

What are we gonna do? And there are so many people. I you know, I've got some friends on Facebook. I don't don't tell anybody I said that. But Right.

That that really, really were hoping that the ceasefire wouldn't hold, and and they still are. And, you know, and it is a precarious situation. It truly is. And, it's yes. America's ...

And welcome back to the program. Let's go to Clint traveling up there near Saluda. What's going on, Clint? Hey, Charlie. How's it going, man?

That that really, really were hoping that the ceasefire wouldn't hold, and and they still are. And, you know, and it is a precarious situation. It truly is. And, it's yes. America's ...

Well, today at the, a meeting with the oversight committee, the Democrats put up a, a poll about Doge, and it said that 67% disapprove of the work that Doge was doing, 38% approve, and 5% didn't know, but the math just did not add up. Just a point of clarification. The poll behind you, behind our ranking member, it adds up to a 110%. Just wanted to clarify, is it meant to add up to a 110%, or is that an error? Do you have a Yelp?

Yeah. I do. This is from a Quinnipiac poll that was, held two weeks ago, and this is the data that was provided. There's a wealth of information, including information about Donald Trump's falling poll numbers, so you should take a look. Thanks.

I yield back. The gentleman yields, and it still adds up to 110%. It still adds up to a 110%. Joining us right now is congressman William Timmons. Congressman Timmons, welcome to the program.

Charlie, good afternoon. Great to be with you. That's quite essential democrat math. Yeah. You know Yeah.

And they they made that poll up, and they just forgot that, you know, you you can only have a 100%. You can go a 110. Yeah. I'd I don't know about those Quinnipiac, polls there. But listen.

You guys did have a have a subcommittee with Doge today, hearing today, didn't you? We did. We were, talking about how we're gonna work to make all of the Doge cuts permanent and the impact it's gonna have on long term spending. I thought it was great hearing. It went well.

And and what are we looking at? Because that's been like a big sticking point with some of the Democrats. So just we did not get enough spending cuts in the big beautiful bill. Right? So we only could put spending cuts in the big beautiful bill that are allowed under both the rules of reconciliation Right.

Particularly under the bird bath. So we are currently seeing the impacts of senate procedural rules. It's a it's a just a procedural mechanism to only get 50 votes 51 votes in the senate, and so we're gonna keep keep working on that. But that doesn't mean we're not gonna do everything else. We just gotta do those through rescissions packages and through government funding.

So what cuts are we looking at with the DODE subcommittee? So, the one that we've already voted, the the rescissions packages was, the USAID, which is so ridiculous. It's not even funny. And the, PBS and NPR funding, which is just ridiculous. So, you know, we started there, but that doesn't mean that that's where we're gonna end.

I think, you know, the the hard thing is is that we're talking to Democrats about how we're gonna fund the government going forward, and we need to fund the government because when the defense department, which has a near trillion dollar budget, operates under a continuous solution, it is extremely inefficient. So Yeah. We gotta find a way to come together to to fund the government. But they're looking at us going, well, wait. We agreed on this other spending, and you're just doing rescissions packages to stop the stuff you don't like.

And my response to that is, well, you know, the people that voted for it would never have voted for it if they knew that you were gonna give, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars for, you know, these ridiculous government policies that have no positive impact on the American taxpayer. You're right about that. Now, Thune said that he's he kind of alluded to the fact that we might actually have that this bill by July 4. So the senate's supposed to vote on it this week. Thursday or Friday, the speaker said we are not leaving until it's done.

Right. I love that. You know, the, this country deserves a birthday present, and we're gonna give it one. Yeah. And that would be a that would be a a great thing.

But let's talk about the the big, big story. President Trump, his reactions to Iran. What are you hearing on in in Washington right now? All the Republicans, are are they happy about what the president did? Yeah.

One or two, Republicans are not happy about it, but, I ...

Well, today at the, a meeting with the oversight committee, the Democrats put up a, a poll about Doge, and it said that 67% disapprove of the work that Doge was doing, 38% approve, and 5% didn't know, but the math just did not add up.

But let's talk about the the big, big story. President Trump, his reactions to Iran. What are you hearing on in in Washington right now? All the Republicans, are are they happy about what the president did? Yeah.

One or two, Republicans are not happy about it, but, I mean, ...

I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. Yes, sir. America is back, thanks to the leadership of president Donald Trump, who who was having absolutely no shenanigans today from either Israel or Iran. I mean, president Trump saying, basically telling Iran or Israel, listen.

The ceasefire is the ceasefire. And if you go and you start breaking the ceasefire, you're gonna do it without us. We're we're not gonna be the ones that are gonna bail you out of this. We went over there. We did what we needed to do.

We destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That's what we did, and that should have been our only involvement, and and hopefully it will be. Now I tried to explain this last hour, and I know that some of the, less intellectual, folks over there on the text line, didn't understand this. A couple of them, zero zero five, they couldn't understand my reasoning here. So you got basically three schools here.

You got number one. You got the folks on the left that say none no involvement whatsoever. Let's hands off of Iran. Let's not even talk about it. Let's not get involved.

Let's not offer support. Let's not do any of that. Just just leave it alone. It's not ours. Then you got on the opposite side, the people like Lindsey Graham that are going, no.

Let's run-in full steam. Let's get boots on the ground, and let's get in there and do regime change again, and let's get into another never ending war over in Iran. And then you had the folks kind of in the middle where I and a lot of you align with president Trump. And that was like, do what we need to do and get out. We don't need to be doing regime change.

We don't need to be sending boots on the ground. We don't need ground troops or anything like that. Go in. Destroy what we need to destroy to keep Iran from getting a nuclear program. Come home, and let that be it.

A lot of people are like, I don't understand your reasoning, Charlie. Well, I again, you can lead someone to knowledge, but you can't make them think. But that's where we are, and and and we are not alone. Those of us that felt that way, that aligned with president Trump on this thing, we are not alone. In fact, take a listen to this from Harry Enten over there on CNN.

Yeah. You know, I think there's this idea. Okay. Maybe the MAGA base wouldn't necessarily like this. Look.

This is Donald Trump's Republican party. That's what I think is so important to note. GOP on The US airstrikes in Iran, 76% in the average of the two polls approved compared to just 18% who disapproved. Now I will note that is a bit higher than Donald Trump's disapproval rating within the Republican party. But overall, Republicans are with Donald Trump on this.

Tucker Carlson be darned. The bottom line is he does not speak for the majority of the Republican base. The majority of the Republican base is with Donald Trump. And we can add more people than just Tucker Carlson to that. We can add Marjorie Taylor Greene.

We can add, Steve Bannon. We can add all of these people that were just no intervention whatsoever. They did not and I I'm still waiting for an apology. Oh, boy. Am I waiting for an apology?

But has it come? Well, last night, Tucker gave a what was it? I think it was two word response. I think it was a two word response, maybe three. Let me yeah.

He just said he tweeted out, thank god, after the ceasefire was announced. Thank god. Bad hombre says, you misspelled I was wrong. Il Donato Trumpo said, and dot dot dot. Graham Allen said, we are stronger united, man.

Never forget that. Britney Ray said, I'm sorry. I didn't trust the POTUS there. I fixed it for you. And absolutely I didn't I mean, that hey.

And and we can also add a lot of other, but Candace Owens, right in that wh ...

And welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. It is a hot one, y'all. Hot out there. Heat index right now, 103 degrees here in the Upstate. So, so y'all be careful out there.

Be very, very careful. I mean, this heat could overtake you in no time, and you won't even know it. It's it's just it's rough. It is rough out there. So wear light colored, loose fitting clothing, take plenty of drinks, plenty of breaks, drink lots of water or some sort of a hydration fluid, not alcohol while you're outside.

That'll just dehydrate you anymore and, and stay in the shade as much as possible if that is possible. But it's hot everywhere. It's even, you know, my mother in law's house up in Rhode Island. It's hot up there. Washington DC, one of the hottest places I've ever been in my life.

It's hot in Washington, and everybody's a little irritable. Everybody's a little bit cranky. You see, that's what that's what the heat does to you. The cold doesn't do that. Cold doesn't make you irritable, but the heat, boy, people just don't like that.

So maybe it wasn't the best day for Israel and Iran to start acting like idiots. Maybe maybe yesterday and today, just not the best days after president Trump announced last night the ceasefire and the terms of the ceasefire. Maybe it wasn't the best day to come along and kinda, you know, fudge on those things. President Trump had this to say about Israel. I didn't like plenty of things I saw yesterday.

I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn't have to unload, and I didn't like the fact that the re retaliation was very strong. But in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot. And now I hear Israel just went out because they felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. That's not what we want.

I'll tell you. And I'm telling you, I'm not happy about that, Israel, either. So he's not and in fact, he's gone, the beyond that and has actually said, listen, Israel. Hey, Israel. If you start this mess up again, you're on your own.

No more help from The US. We've we had a peace agreement. We had the deal. If you guys go back on it, well, good luck to you. It's you against Iran and anybody else that wants to join in, and good for him.

I'm glad. He is very upset, very upset over what they're doing. In fact, he, dropped a little bomb there today. Two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the they're doing. Do you understand that?

Do you have do you have the right answer? Yeah. Yeah. That we understand, sir. That we understand.

Dropping the f bomb in front of the, in front of the American press. Yeah. We get that. We get it. In fact, we just heard today that a circuit court judge has just ruled that president Trump has gotta put money in a swear jar now.

I don't know I don't know how they can do that, but they did. Let's go to Natalie in Wellford. Natalie, welcome. How are you? I'm good.

How are you? I'm great. What's on your mind? Well, I'm here with Window Depot in Spartanburg. And for the whole month of July, we're running a school supply drive, partnered up with Hen Hendricks Elementary School, and we would love the community's help for that.
