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, America is back. Yes, sir. And it starts with immigration. Let's go to Rick in Simpsonville, wants to talk about immigration.

Rick, welcome to the program. Hi, Charlie. This is my second time calling in. Well, I I I just give you a little at the there you go. I just give a little second time ding there.

So what's up, man? Listen. I just wanna make a couple of points as a as a Hispanic, and this is not gonna go over well with my brother and sister. And, however, I wanna reference first. You had the caller that said about, you know, locking them up Yeah.

And getting our pound of flesh. That's not gonna work. Our system still doesn't you're right. It it's not it's gonna cost more money to keep them here, to go through the process and stuff because that appeals in our judicial system is still too woke and radical. Yeah.

I was just I was just about to say that. I mean, there's a good chance that they could go in front of a liberal judge. Oh, absolutely. And this is this has been since I was a child in the seventies, man. I saw the divisiveness that this type of stuff cost, and I'm seeing it now, and it breaks my heart.

I am a twenty year combat vet. I've been to these countries Thank you. And it breaks your heart. But let's walk down our streets. What about the people our people here?

Now listen. I am an American. I am a flag barrack. This is our country. Okay?

And what happens is these people, when they've come over, one, illegally, two, then they send the money that they're making here back out of our country. Right. How does that help? And then in the enclaves, and I'm talking in in, you know, the people on the ground, okay, they laugh at it. You go to America, free, free, free, free.

Yeah. Okay. This is not new. It's just the focus now is with all these illegals, then they bring, listen, Cinco de Mayo is coming up. Okay?

Here's a trip. Is that we have foreign flag parade running through our country. What is that? I know. What other countries allow that?

You don't do that. And then you have other and it's not just the Hispanic illegals. I'm talking all of them. You got the Chinese private police in New York. Right.

You got, the Sharia laws in some of these states. Are you kidding me that an American can't can't walk down there? Charlie, this gets me upset. I'm so sorry. I understand.

Absolutely. So You know what? The thousand dollars that they give them to fly them up, that's great. That's cheap. That's a smart business decision.

Cut your losses and go. And you know what? Then you can cut the knees off of these people. I hate saying it. The fellow Americans say what they mean, god given and stuff, but that's exploited them.

That's the lawyers. Yeah. That's the the landowner, the business owner. You know what? Have them do it illegal.

Damn right. Them do it illegal. There you go. And it just gets me so upset. And then I hear, you know, here in this country now, nowadays, you know, you have folks calling in.

We're not hearing from the Hispanic community, and there's a lot of them that feel out there the same way. Come in legally. You know what? If you're here legally, then you send money back to your family over there and help them out that way. Yeah.

Use the the proper system. Exactly. This this is just getting ridiculous. And I just wanted to say you as a Hispanic, as an American, a God fearing American, flag waving United States Of America. We appreciate you, Rick.

Thank you, buddy. Thank you so much. Michael is in Charlotte. Michael, what do you think about the immigration idea? I like it.

I think it's a start, but I kind of I don't know if this is gonna be the right place to say this or not. I'm a, you know, I'm I'm I'm a conservative person, ...

And welcome to the program on your TGIF afternoon. Thank goodness it's Friday. Looking forward to the weekend. Not as much as I look forward to last weekend when I went fly fishing. This weekend, oh, it's gonna be better than that.

I get to trim a huge a huge loropetalum in my yard. That's not gonna be fun at all. I but the whole time, I'm gonna be thinking about fly fishing. I try I promise you that. So, I hope you guys have a great weekend.

Oh, by the way, we are going to the, Simpsonville Farmer's Market tomorrow. I believe it is their first day tomorrow that they'll be open, and they're in a brand new location there in Simpsonville. They were in the bank parking lot kind of area. Now they've moved over to where the new police station is, and it's kind of over where the dog park is. It's a very nice area.

It really, really is. So it's gonna be nice and shaded and all of that. So, looking forward to going to the Simpsonville Farmers Market this weekend. Well, I tell you what, the more you learn about Columbia, the madder you need to get. Now I know you think you're mad right now.

I know you you fully believe that that you're mad at Columbia. But what you really need to do is take that anger and multiply it several times several times. Columbia, South Carolina, our state capital, is absolutely it is the swamp. It is absolutely the swamp. They have things going on in Columbia that would absolutely curl your hair.

Now, A lot of this stuff, you you know, sometimes you wonder why are these people so, so hell bent on keeping these positions of power when it only pays, you know, right now, and I know they voted themselves a pay raise, but it only pays about $10,000 a year plus per diem. Why why why is this so important to them? Because it that's what they're paid. But what they make is a lot more than that. They make a lot more than that.

This is a club in Colombia. It's a club, and they don't want you to know it's it's almost like a, a secret society. Like, they got a secret handshake, and they've got rituals that they go through. And you are not privy to what happens in Colombia. And the biggest perpetrators of all are the lawyer legislatures legislators in Colombia.

The lawyer led legislators, they are a huge problem. And I give you a perfect example. Let's say you're Scout Motors, and you wanna come into South Carolina. Well, you're going to South Carolina, what do you need? You need yourself a good lawyer, don't you?

Need myself a good lawyer. Yep. Oh, yeah. We are we are going to, to South Carolina. We are going to build the Scout's Mortise Plant, and the first thing we need to do is get a good attorney.

Are there is there any attorneys working in their state legislature? Oh, there are a bunch of them. Yeah. So who do they hire? They hire a lawyer, legislator.

How about that? How about you wanna build a casino in South Carolina? How about you do that? Well, what do you look for? You look for a good lawyer legislator, and you hire them.

Because now it is practically guaranteed that the bill will pass because your guy that is on retainer is also in the state legislature. We have got so much corruption going on. And and and and since and since our state legislature votes on who is sitting on the bench, well, now they got the double whammy. So now if you sue them, well, they just take you in front of a friendly judge that is not going to that is not gonna side with you. It is absolutely disgusting.

And the worst part of it is the worst part of it of of, of this whole thing is, if you try to stand in their way, if you try to stand up to what the lawyer legislators are doing in Columbia, they will try to kick you out of the club. They will try to remove you. You have to be moved aside so that they can do the jobs that they're really there to do, and that job is not representing you. If their job that job is representing their clients. That job is representing lobbyists.

That job is representing donors. That job is ...
