What this episode covers

Charlie James: All right, let's go to the phones and talk to Ken in Nebo. How you doing, Ken? Ken: Yeah, Ken nerd here in Nebo, North Carolina. Yeah, I wanted to have a little fun with your, uh, your rationale and your theory, uh, that I don't think's relative. But anyway, you— Charlie James: Well, it's not my theory. Do you think I made that up, Ken? Ken: No, I just—I'm not questioning your facts, Charlie. I really, I'm not. I know you—you do mind sometimes, but I just wanted to have a little fun with you. You used the, uh, number 90 million, uh, light years as far as the parameters of the universe. Is that correct? Charlie James: Yeah. Yeah. Ken: Well, where—who—if—whoever is responsible for those numbers, how did you come up with them? Charlie James: I don't know. I don't know. Physicists did that. I have no idea. Ken: Okay. Uh, 'cause you know, really, when it comes down to it, outside our solar system, I've always wondered—you know, 'cause we know the entity, and we know nothing about God other than what He has written through the Book and sent the messages through His Son, Jesus Christ. Uh, but I've always wondered if when He rebuilds everything, that we would may find out that the parameters, uh, the—everything outside our solar system may be just a mirage, a sort of a black curtain that looks like all those galaxies that take off for light years—millions and trillions of light years. By the way, 5.8 trillion miles that a light can travel in one year. Charlie James: Yeah. Ken: It—it's just a mirage. He's—it's all that beauty out there that we can see with our telescopes and everything. But He knows that we'll never see the end of it until He comes and rebuilds this, and maybe shows us around His house up there. Thanks for taking the call, Charlie. Charlie James: Maybe so. Yeah. I appreciate it, Ken, thank you. All right. Um, so we got the, uh, Senate race coming up. That primary is going to be on August the 11th. So far, as of the latest, um, information, we've got five people that have, uh, officially filed to run for the U.S. Senate. What, it's $10,400, uh, to run. Uh, Duke Buckner, who we talked with earlier; uh, Mark Lynch; Mark McBride, former mayor of Myrtle Beach; uh, Charles Nielson; and Samuel Shepard. Those five have—have officially filed to run for the Senate. Now, uh, got information just a few minutes ago that Ralph Norman is going to be filing tomorrow at 12:30. So Ralph Norman will officially be in tomorrow at 12:30. So, ah, so we're going to have six tomorrow, and many, many more, I predict. Listen, folks, this thing's going to a runoff. It's going to a runoff. We'll have that runoff on—on the 25th. And another person has announced they're running for the Senate. Let's take a listen to this. Mark Sanford (audio clip): I'm Mark Sanford. Lindsey's death is a reminder to all of us of how short and precious life is. My own dad got Lou Gehrig's disease when I was in high school, and this notion of all of us having just a little time has always hit me hard. We're stewards of our lives and the things that we love for just a short time. I'm now a dad and a granddad, and I'm worried for our children because for the first time, America's borrowing from the future faster than we're building it. We'll add about a trillion dollars to the national debt over the next 100 days, and if left unaddressed, that debt will crush our economy, it'll wipe out our savings, and it could even destroy our republic. Our ability to afford things, inflation, and the way people struggle to build a life are but symptoms of spending beyond our means as a country. We're at a tipping point, and that's why I've decided to run for the U.S. Senate. Charlie James: All right, so that's Mark Sanford throwing his hat into the ring with a little slight jab—because it isn't the first time that we've had, uh, runaway spending, but—but a little jab at Trump there. But the last time that Mark Sanford ran for office, he was running a ...
