Audience Member: 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. Singer: Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. America, America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Donald Trump: America is back! Charlie James: Yes sir! And we are back, glad to have you along with us this afternoon. Let's go to the phones and talk to Scott in Inman. How you doing, Scott? Scott: Doing good. How about you, sir? Charlie James: I'm really good. What's up, man? Scott: Hey, yesterday I was listening to you with the conversations about the Flock cameras... Charlie James: Yeah. Scott: ...and how much privacy are we going to give up for our safety. Right. And then, it wasn't long after that, you had the Sheriff of Greenville on saying that just last night—which this was yesterday, but he was saying just last night—we had a family, you know, where a guy took his kids and they found him up in Tennessee and they got the kids back safe. Charlie James: Right. Scott: Well, one of the reasons why I don't believe that is for the simple fact every time that kids go missing around in these areas, our phones start blowing up with Amber Alerts. And if this guy made it all the way to Tennessee before, you know, nobody got an Amber Alert, that's... that's kind of crazy to... Charlie James: You know, I didn't even think about that. I didn't get an Amber Alert. Scott: Exactly. I mean, my phone blows up every time a kid goes missing in these areas. Charlie James: Huh. Scott: And that's the reason, you know, I was kind of questioning what the sheriff was saying. I was like, well, I really don't believe that because... Charlie James: Well, here's the thing, though. Are there... are there age limits to Amber Alerts? Scott: Uh, not that I'm aware of. I mean, they do it for teenagers. I've seen it done for younger kids, even toddlers. Charlie James: Yeah. But I mean, this kid was 17 years old, I believe. Um, so I... that's... that's interesting. I appreciate it, Scott. Thank you. Are there age limits... let me just put this... to Amber Alerts? Let's see. Let's see if that is. Um, 17 and younger. 17 and younger. So, um, but I don't... but listen. We'll talk about Flock cameras coming up because not only now... not only now do they have the Flock cameras on the poles, they got 'em in the air. We'll tell you about... we'll tell you about these things. And the biggest concern about the Flock cameras, and even... even Hobart Lewis couldn't answer this, he said they only keep the information 30 days. SLED keeps it longer, but who keeps it the longest? And we... listen, I had a lot of people go, "Charlie, Flock cameras aren't the only cameras." Yeah, well, it's kind of like Kleenex and Vaseline. That's going to be the name of these cameras. I don't care... I don't care if you're CharlieTech cameras, you're going to be called a Flock camera. That's just... that's going to be the generic name. So anyway. So, um, had somebody ask me, let me see over on the text line, he said, "Charlie... well, wait, hold on. 'Oh, ha ha, Charlie! Your rants about someone with no experience, and then you rant about the mess that those with experience make! Stop ranting and run for office yourself!'" Okay. First of all, Charlie does not rant. These are not rants. They are monologues, and they're mine, okay? Second of all, I never said anything about Darline Graham not having any experience. That I don't care about. I... I truly do not care if somebody's running for office and they have no experience. I want to know the answers to the questions! That's it! I voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump didn't have any experience. Look at Sheri Biggs. Sheri Biggs had no experience, but boy is she... is she doing a great job over in the T ...
