What this episode covers
Transcript Part 1 Charlie James: And welcome to the program on a hot, good night. It is hot outside Monday afternoon. 100° right here in Anderson. And folks, I hate to tell you, this is going to get even hotter, because we are at the Anderson Civic Center this afternoon for the Salute to Liberty with Representative Sheri Biggs. This place is empty right now. We just got some staff, got some police officers, we got some security milling around, we got some dogs sweeping the area right now. I passed. I got the sniff from the dog. Everything's fine here. So, but in just a couple of hours, this place is absolutely going to be rocking and rolling with what they are predicting could be up to 1,600 conservatives in this building. This is going to be the largest group of conservatives gathered together in the state of South Carolina, and that's pretty darn neat. Now, listen to what we've got coming up for you this afternoon. Not only do we have Representative Sheri Biggs, who we're going to be talking to at 4:06, we are also going to be talking with Congressman Ralph Norman, who of course everybody knows is running for Senate here in South Carolina. Also going to be talking with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise; he's going to be on the program coming up around 6:35 this afternoon. And somewhere, somewhere today, that I cannot give you a definite time, I cannot give you any more than what I know, there's a good possibility that we're going to have Representative Jim Jordan joining us as well. We just don't know when he's going to be here. And he doesn't know when he's going to be here, so when he gets here, we're definitely going to—we're going to grab him, and he wants to come on the show, it's just the timing, and we'll get all that done. So it is a big, big night here in Anderson. You guys be very careful when you're driving in this afternoon. Again, hot. Don't leave anything in that car, man, or you will—woo, woo! It is just absolutely a scorcher out there. Again, the WORD talk line, we will be taking your calls this afternoon: 800-905-0989. And of course, that's also the Common Sense Retirement Planning text line if you would like to text us. Oh, we got some stuff. Oh, have we got some stuff to talk about today, because something happened. Something happened, ladies and gentlemen. And we're going to give you some details on that you might not know just yet. You see, there's supposed to be a debate in Newberry tomorrow. That debate was very close to being called off, and I'll tell you why coming up in just a little bit. Now, this is a little bit of a complicated story, and I've just got the information that I have, and I got it from good sources. So, we'll tell you what happened with that. Also, Nancy Mace—have you seen Nancy Mace lately? She's got about nine new tattoos. We'll tell you what she said about those tattoos and why she got them. And it seems like—and one of the things that we're really going to be talking about, and I think probably a big theme tonight is going to be the Republican platform versus the Democrat Socialists of America. They are growing by leaps and bounds, folks, they really, really are. Now, what the Democrats are going to be able to do about this, I have no idea, but it's a big problem for them right now. They're having some real big issues. But Hasan Piker—you know the guy, Hasan Piker, we've played his clips for you here on the program many times—this is a guy now that is whining because the Republicans are simply telling the truth about them. You see, that's what the Democrats always say. They'll say, whenever you use their words, the words that come out of their own mouths, whenever you use those words, they always accuse you of attacking them. They're not attacking you, they're quoting you, period. That's all it is. Well, now Hasan Piker is apparently sick and tired of being quoted, so he is asking the Democrats—the same party that Hasan Piker said he wanted to destroy—he is now turning ...
