A judge was too lenient on a Charlotte man who ran down a child

from The Charlie James Show Podcast

In the third hour of the WORD Talkline, the conversation tackled a series of high-profile constitutional and cultural debates impacting both the state and the nation. Birthright Citizenship & The 14th Amendment: The hour opened with a deep dive into the legal challenges surrounding birthright citizenship, specifically focusing on President Trump's attempts to end the practice via executive order and the subsequent judicial pushback labeling such moves unconstitutional. Closed Primaries in South Carolina: "Brad in Salem" joined the program to advocate for closing South Carolina’s primary elections. He argued that the current open system allows for "crossover voting" that dilutes party intent, noting that 86% of the state's Republicans support the change despite opposition from Governor Henry McMaster. Jaden Ivey Controversy: The discussion shifted to the sports world following reports that the Chicago Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey for "conduct detrimental to the team". The move came shortly after Ivey posted Instagram Live videos criticizing the NBA’s promotion of Pride Month, which he characterized as celebrating "unrighteousness". Nancy Pelosi’s Midterm Warnings: The segment concluded with Nancy Pelosi’s urgent advisory to Democrats to remain "on guard" for the 2026 midterm elections. She warned that Republicans might attempt to manipulate voting technology to create a "false count," urging her party to focus on election security and litigation.

00:00 We have got some serious problems in this country with judges. You know what I think? I think it might just be too damned easy to be a judge. I think it might be too easy. 00:14 We should have a lot more information about these judges. 00:19 Um 00:23 There is a guy in Charlotte, North Carolina. This guy was caught on camera, revving up the engine of his car, putting it in drive, and smashing into and killing an eight-year-old little girl who was out riding her bike. 00:53 So he was caught on camera doing that. 00:58 A judge released him on $20,000 bond. $20,000. Do know what that means? All he's got to do is come up with two grand and he walks. 01:11 This guy seen the video. 01:17 He shouldn't be walking the streets. Absolutely not. But then we find out that the judge, the judge might have gone a little lenient on him because the judge, well, he's got prior charges himself. This doorbell video shows the moment she's describing. You can hear the engine revving, then the car speed up significantly. We've stopped it before it hits Naomi. The other two kids got out the street. Naomi wasn't quick enough. 01:46 through her little legs. had eyes on her. She was not unattended. She did not run out in front of no car. That car just like she hit her like she was an animal and kept going and said he probably got a phone call to say he hit that baby. Another neighbor didn't want to go on camera but says she saw the whole thing from somewhere in the video you're watching now. Then you gunned it down the street. You were on the wrong side. This baby play out here every day all day. You on the wrong side. You came over this side, hit the baby. You didn't stop. You kept going. 02:15 You didn't remain on scene. They had to call you to tell you to come back. It hurts because that's the child. She was only eight years old. She didn't have to lose her life because of a reckless driver that could have been my niece. That could have been my little cousin. That could have been anybody. Police say the driver of that Chrysler 300 was 23 year old Khalil Bernie. He is now charged with driving while license revoked, no liability insurance, failure to register and fictitious registration. 02:41 In court today, a judge gave him uh a $1,000 unsecured bond. All right, so the judge in that case actually had prior charges himself for, you ready for this? Falsifying legal documents. 03:03 A judge falsified legal documents and is still on the bench. 03:13 Charlotte, North Carolina, what the hell are you thinking? Why do you people keep voting for these liberal members of your state legislature who appoint these judges? Why do you do that? Why do you keep voting for these, why do you keep voting for liberals, period? That's mind boggling to me. They love crime, they love criminals. Charlotte is a Democrat city and it shows. 03:43 Charlotte, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Chicago, you name it. Democrat-run cities are dangerous cities because they let the criminals out on the street, and they don't have a problem with that. 04:04 They'll especially like to let out illegal aliens. They love that. They love it. Well, Tom Homan says they're stepping up. In ice, haven't heard a whole lot about them lately, but here's Tom Homan. 04:21 I mean the President's already set the priorities on immigration enforcement. First of all, we've got the most secure border in history of this nation. that provides more resources for interior enforcement operations, which we plan on doing. We're doing it now. And of course, we've been sidelined just a little bit with the airports. President put me in charge of the airport. I said the airports, and that's worked out very well. But as that ramps down now, we'll put more agents in the field. You're going to see a rescu-op. You're going to see more worksite enforcement operations coming. 04:50 So you're going to see a ramp up in immigration enforcement in this country. That's what American people voted for ...
