Full Transcript (Hour 3, Segment 2) Charlie James: All right, welcome back to the program. I would like to know something, and I'm serious about this. Has anybody heard of any of the comments from Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the little giggle fest they had at the 9/11 Memorial on Friday? You—you've all saw the video. In fact, let me tell you what CNN did. CNN tried to debunk this, even though—all right, now listen. This was a pool feed. C-SPAN was running this feed. All right, so C-SPAN had all the cameras there. They were directing it; everybody else was just plugged into their video, all right, and audio. So there, during that ceremony, when they were reading out the names of the people that were murdered on September the 11th, there was this man—African American man, had his glasses in his hand, seemed to be a young man—he was slumped over, sobbing, openly weeping, chest heaving with agony at the reading of these names. They cut from that guy to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, and they're having a little giggle fest there together. Now, CNN, they decided they were going to show some other video that showed that they—"Oh, no, they had just greeted each other, that was it." Well, wait, hold on. That video was completely—it wasn't even the same video! So they were trying to debunk what was going on. Has Zohran Mamdani told us or had any explanation about that? I want to go to—let's go to Dwayne, he's heading home to Liberty. What's going on, Dwayne? Dwayne: Hey, how you doing today? Charlie James: Good, man. What's up? Dwayne: Hey, brother, just a real quick question, throwing back to Friday. You know, I thought about this stuff for 25 years, and it really put my heart in it Friday on 9/11. You know, when this stuff happened, we lost 2,977 people that one day. And what really has been on my heart a lot is we lose 8,400 people every single day in America. And what we need, man, is just that same unity that we had that one day when twice the amount of that people are gone every day of the year. If—if we could look back and reflect on that, man, we would change the world overnight. Charlie James: Yeah, you're right about that. But, you know, Planned Parenthood, they don't want that to happen. I appreciate it, Dwayne. We got to hit a break here. When we get back, I'm going to be talking with—with Jordan Pace. He sent a letter to Murrell Smith today, and it's got to do with gas prices. It's The Charlie James Show, News/Talk 98.9 WORD, the Voice of the Carolinas.
