Hour 2

Callers praised alternative remedies, while James blasted "RINO" politics.

On The Charlie James Show, Hour 2 Segment 2, host Charlie James and callers discussed alternative health remedies and criticized mainstream medical mandates, with a caller claiming that black seed oil and ivermectin successfully treated severe respiratory illness and cancer. James emphasized that the recent legislative defeat of the ivermectin bill was less about the drug itself and more about the "petty," child-like behavior of the Republican "RINO" caucus collaborating with Democrats. The segment concluded with concerns over reports that the military may mandate a new mRNA-based flu shot following a recent outbreak.

Rep. Edgerton claimed RINOs and Democrats killed the ivermectin bill out of petty revenge against the Freedom Caucus.

On The Charlie James Show, Hour 2 Segment 1 (June 26, 2026), host Charlie James interviewed South Carolina State Representative Sarita Edgerton regarding the sudden death of an over-the-counter ivermectin bill [1.1]. Edgerton claimed that departing Representative J.D. Hyatt and moderate Republicans colluded with Democrats to send the bill back to committee purely as retaliation against the Freedom Caucus for primary election challenges [1.1]. She described the legislative maneuver as a flex of political power and petty revenge that ultimately hurts the medical freedom of South Carolinians

Hour 1 - SC politics, ivermectin bill, data centers, surveillance, and Democrats' socialist shift.

In the first hour of The Charlie James Show (June 26, 2026), Charlie James focused primarily on South Carolina politics, sharply criticizing Republican "RINOs" for blocking legislation that would have made ivermectin available over the counter after it had already passed both legislative chambers with bipartisan support. He accused Republican leaders of siding with Democrats for political retaliation against Freedom Caucus members following the primaries and argued that elected officials become less accountable once elections are over. James also warned listeners to watch for renewed support of controversial data center projects, highlighting a Spartanburg public meeting where nearly all attendees opposed a proposed facility while one Republican county council candidate remained seated. Callers expressed concerns about government surveillance, AI, Flock cameras, privacy, and the rapid expansion of data centers. In the second half of the hour, James shifted to national politics, reacting to New York City's Democratic primary by arguing that the Democratic Party is moving further toward socialism and communism, citing criticism from political strategist James Carville and questioning Democratic leaders' willingness to distance themselves from the party's progressive wing. He concluded by arguing that socialism is politically appealing because it promises "free" benefits, while asserting that such promises ultimately come at a significant cost.

Host Charlie James and callers slammed a local Republican for backing data centers and surveillance.

On The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James and callers criticized Spartanburg Republican council candidate William Crawford for remaining seated during a 400-person protest against a proposed data center.

host Charlie James claimed Rep. Davy Hiatt and "RINOs" allied with Democrats to kill an over-the-counter ivermectin bill.

On The Charlie James Show Hour 1 Segment 1, host Charlie James alleged that Rep. Davy Hiatt and "RINO" Republicans collaborated with Democrats to kill a previously approved South Carolina bill meant to make ivermectin available over-the-counter. James argued this reversal, following the primary elections, stems from personal political grudges against the Freedom Caucus and potential influence from a state health official opposed to the legislation.
