What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: ... glad to have them on listening to us. There, you are. There, there we go! Welcome to the program. Glad to have you along with us Monday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I really, really do. My mine was not quite quick enough. I do know one thing: August is getting out of here like it's got some place to be. I mean, it's just this month just absolutely flew by. We are keeping an eye this afternoon on the Lindsay Clancy jury. They have been deliberating a total 14 hours now, this third day. A total 14 hours of deliberation. Well, maybe we'll have some sort of a verdict on that today. Today, I don't know if you realize this, but today is an anniversary of sorts here in South Carolina. Well, it's not of sorts; it's an anniversary. Today was the anniversary of the Great Charleston Earthquake back in 1886. This thing was a 7.0, maybe even up to a 7.3 on the Richter scale or the Mercalli intensity. It was a—it was a big one. It was a big one. 60 people died, $5 to $6 million in damages—that was those dollars; today it'd be almost $200 million in damage. One of the most powerful and damaging earthquakes to ever hit the East Coast of the United States. And it was—if you go down to Charleston, sometimes you'll see on on the the older buildings there, you'll see these washers, I call them washers. There's a washer with a nut on it, and you go like, "Well, what is that?" That is what's that's what's bolstering those buildings up. They got they got that, they got steel rods running through with a turnbuckle, and they just cinch those buildings up so they would be level again and straight. Not all of them are, but still, that's basically the only thing holding those buildings up right now. So, big, big earthquake. Today is also the anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. How about that? Let's see. "Charlie, no sound on X." All right, John, make sure we got the sound over there on X and everybody else that is streaming this afternoon. Well, I did I I looked just a couple minutes ago. I looked because I said, "I got to see if this is a deal. I got to see if this is a deal." I looked over on Google Maps, and yes, they have changed Lake Ontario to Lake America. That has happened. It is on there, and it is right—and these these Democrats, I mean, they're all like losing their minds over this. It really was nothing more than a stroke of a pen by Donald Trump to get this done. But liberals just lost their mind. Now, remember, these are the same people that rename everything! Everything! Birthing mother? Instead of a, you know, what what do they call them, non-lactating parent? Non-gestating parent, I think that's it. "Oh oh oh, are are you are you they/them's non-gestating parent?" "Yes, yes I am the non-gestating parent." Those people rename everything. Nothing of consequence, but they rename everything. And they get so mad if Donald Trump does it. He renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America—like that, love it, been swimming in the Gulf of America. Now he's renamed Lake Ontario Lake America. Nothing the Canadians can do about it. So, there you go. I've seen this: "Charlie, Donald Trump is changing the name of Canadian geese to Donald Ducks." That is—that is very funny, but let me tell you something. I do not want our president to change the name of those geese, because they are an absolute pain in the rear end. They're horrible, they're awful! Keep those things Canadian, just as a reminder of what Canada is like. "Charlie, glad to have you back on TikTok." Glad to be back on TikTok. I got several videos on there. Today's video is entitled "Conservatism," and exactly what is it? Well, I'll tell you what it isn't. You know, there's an old saying that this this young man went to a master jade carver, and he said, "Teach me everything you you know about jade." And he gave him a piece of jade, and he said, "Rub this jade." And he rubbed it and rubbed it and rubbed i ...
