The discussion then turns to national security as James breaks down recent military operations in the Middle East, including the strategic deployment of B-1B Lancer bombers, while engaging with callers who share their own experiences with military aircraft and offer candidate endorsements. Later in the hour, U.S. Senate candidate Mark Lynch joins the show to outline his grassroots campaign, critique special interest PAC funding, and address critical issues like the SAVE America Act, government surveillance, and foreign ownership of American land. Finally, James plays audio clips of Donald Trump weighing in on technology infrastructure and reviews growing local opposition to data center construction, highlighting community concerns over energy demands and constant noise pollution.

Charlie James discusses the SAVE America Act, noncitizen voting, and callers.

Host Charlie James opens the third hour with a passionate defense of the SAVE America Act, calling it one of the most vital pieces of election security legislation in recent history. He expresses frustration over its stalled progress in Congress, attributing the gridlock to opposition from Democrats and hesitant establishment Republicans. To support his argument that voter rolls are compromised, James references recent news reporting by investigative journalist John Solomon detailing an incident in New Jersey where thousands of noncitizens were automatically added to voter rolls through Motor Voter registration systems, with hundreds casting ballots. James argues that federal citizenship verification requirements are both common sense and constitutional. The segment concludes with a call from Mahya, an Iranian-American listener in Greenville, who echoes concerns regarding foreign influence and agrees on the paramount importance of every legal vote.

Charlie James discusses the B-1B bomber, Middle East strikes, and callers.

Host Charlie James opens the segment by sharing a personal childhood memory of building a B-1 bomber model before transitioning into recent military developments involving the deployment of the B-1B Lancer supersonic bomber by U.S. Central Command in response to ongoing conflict involving Iran. He outlines the strategic capabilities of the aircraft and details recent military strikes targeting Iranian operations centers, maritime infrastructure, and drone storage facilities, noting the economic impact on domestic gas prices. The discussion prompts phone calls from listeners, including Donald in Hartwell, Georgia, who vividly recalls witnessing a B-1 bomber demonstration at a 1990s air show in Athens, and Steve in Greenville, who endorses candidate Ralph Norman for the upcoming South Carolina Senate race while sharing local restaurant recommendations.

Charlie James analyzes campaign funding and legislative tactics for Darlene Graham

Host Charlie James opens the second hour by reflecting on the political climate and playing a campaign-themed song written about candidate Darlene Graham titled "Darlene, Darlene, Washington's Favorite Queen" by Pink Zinnia B. The segment shifts into a detailed analysis of the vast financial backing entering the South Carolina Senate race. James highlights that political action committees such as Security is Strength and Push Digital LLC have already allocated over $600,000 to pro-Graham television, digital, text, and direct mail advertising, with total spending projected to approach $900,000. He reads an official statement released by Graham on social media emphasizing border security and her endorsement of several federal immigration bills, including measures regarding birthright citizenship, sanctuary cities, E-Verify, and law enforcement support. While acknowledging the appeal of these proposals, James challenges how Graham or any candidate plans to overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the U.S. Senate. He argues that legislative reform will require procedural changes to the filibuster or strategic maneuvers by Senate leadership to force recorded votes on bills like the SAVE America Act.
