Charlie James recaps the crowded Senate candidate field and key voting dates.
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
Host Charlie James opens the segment by offering a critical commentary on media coverage and public discourse regarding hate crimes, alleging a double standard in how attacks are labeled depending on the demographics of the perpetrator and victim. He focuses his attention on a recent stabbing incident near Central Park in New York City, where a suspect, identified as Raul Morales, allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" while attacking two men—one an Asian man stabbed in the back and the other a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke stabbed with a screwdriver. James expresses frustration over authorities questioning whether the attack constitutes a hate crime or a mental health episode, playing a audio clip from New York State Attorney General Letitia James acknowledging rising anti-Semitic and anti-Asian sentiment. He further accuses politicians like Zohran Mamdani of fueling anti-Jewish rhetoric. Throughout the segment, James takes text messages and a phone call from a listener in Boiling Springs, arguing that fear of being labeled racist causes institutions and law enforcement to hesitate or make excuses rather than directly confronting radicalism.

What this episode covers
Charlie James: Whenever something happens that involves a white individual and an individual of color, and the white individual does something to the individual of color, they always rush to two words: "hate crime." That's—I mean, that's first and foremost. That is the first place they always go: hate crime. That's what it is. Oh, it's undoubtedly a hate crime. And then you get—you get Al Sharpton and you get, uh, all of these people over there and, uh, you know, they're—they're all talking about hate crimes and this, that, and the other thing. But whenever it's—it's reversed or slightly different in any other way, then they're like, "Oh, we—oh... oh, we don't know what happened. Yeah, uh... yeah, I don't know if this was a hate crime or not." Because you see, their version—and—and this is historically the way it's always been—there is only one group of people that can commit a hate crime. According to the—the radical left and the radical mainstream media, there's only one group of people that can commit a hate crime. And I'm sitting right dab in the middle of it: white males. We're the only ones! We're the only ones who can commit a hate crime! That's... JJ's like, "That's why we hate you!" [laughs] There you go. We're the only ones that can do it. We're the only ones that commit—can commit a hate crime. Anybody else? No, there's, you know, they got—well, you got, "Oh no, it's still early days and we got to do an investigation, and this might be a mental health issue." Well, it happened again, um, today. Two people were stabbed by a man shouting "Allahu Akbar!" JJ set off the censor button. [laughs] Uh, two men stabbed near Central Park. The suspect yelled "Allahu Akbar!" One of them was a Jewish gentleman wearing a yarmulke. He was stabbed in the torso, and an Asian man was stabbed in the back near Central Park. The suspect, Raul Morales, shouted "Allahu Akbar" during both attacks. So what—what—what—what did... now, that means "God is great" in Arabic. All right? So that's—that's, you know, whenever—when—when a Muslim does something like this, they always shout "Allahu Akbar." But no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We—we don't know if this is a hate—Yes! Hate crime, absolutely 100%! Write it down, put it in the books. Now, I'm not a big proponent of hate crimes, but if that is the set of rules that we're going to go by, then this was a hate crime. If we're going to go by their language and their rules, well, that's it—this is a hate crime. You're going to tell me someone shouting a Muslim saying stabs a Jewish guy in—in Central Park and—and that's not hate? No, of course it is! Of course it—but that's—that's the thing. I don't even know that anything about this guy, um, Raul Morales, 51 years old. Um... I—I don't know anything about him, but let's say he is an Islamist. Okay? How much longer are we going to tolerate this? How much longer? We are—this country is being overrun by radical Islam. I just saw the latest attack in New York City. Whether this was somebody that was Islamic or somebody that was just mimicking the Islamic way, I don't know. We'll find out. But it—it just seems like when—even Letitia James, oh, now listen to this! Even this is what Letitia James said: Letitia James: What I do want to say is that it's really critically important that individuals understand that anti- antisemitic acts have been growing in the city of New York. It's really critically important. And then also acts against the Asian community have also been on the increase. So it's important that I stand with my Jewish friends, that I stand with my Asian friends, that I let everyone know that there should not be any space between any of us. Charlie James: Oh wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, Letitia. Hold on. Because you've got the biggest anti-Semite in New York City at Gracie Mansion because he's the Mayor of New York: Mamdani! Mamdani is—I mean, his—his anti-Jewish rhetoric has been ...
