Here is the complete transcript of Hour 2 (Segments 1–4) of The Charlie James Show from Tuesday, July 14, 2026: Segment 1 Charlie James: Welcome back to the program. Coming up a little bit later this hour, the Democratic Socialists of America are releasing their platform today, and we need this more than ever. Crowd (audio recording): I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Singer (audio recording): O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain. For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. America, America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Crowd (audio recording): America is back! Charlie James: Yes, sir! We are getting there. And welcome back to the program. Um, there's AOC, Ilhan... well, actually it was Ilhan Omar, not AOC. Ilhan Omar said that, "ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents; they are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE." Oh, okay. Okay. I mean, this is the—this is the woman that married her brother, broke immigration laws to get to this country, lied about how much money she's got, and she wants to—oh, she's sanctimonious. So yeah, there were a couple of shootings by ICE. Now, let me just give you a little piece of advice, all you Democrats out there. Um, you illegal aliens especially (Democrats, illegal aliens, six of one, half dozen of the other). Um, if you are being detained by ICE, and you use your vehicle as a weapon, they will shoot you in the face. I'll be honest with you, I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with that. If you try to run over an ICE officer, you turn that car into a 3,000-pound bullet, and they will defend themselves. And they should defend themselves. But notice how Ilhan Omar always leaves out all of the deaths that have occurred at the hands of illegal immigrants. Remember the woman that testified in Congress a couple of weeks ago? Do you remember her? Where—where you have—was it Mazie Hirono? I forget who it was, who was like, "This is the fourth hearing we've had on—on sanctuary cities." And she was like, "Well, thank you for telling me that you don't care. Thank you that you don't care that my daughter was sitting on a park bench and was shot by an illegal alien and died alone. Thanks for telling me you don't care." Look at all of these illegal—illegal aliens that have—I mean, how many murders have they committed? How many crimes have they committed? Plenty. The first crime being, being an illegal alien. But they don't care about that. So now in Bedford—it's not Bedford, where is it?—it was, um, in Maine, uh, yeah, Biddeford, Maine. Hundreds of people protested in Maine on Tuesday after the killing of a Colombian man by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer after federal officials appeared to shift their narrative about the deadly encounter. Of course, this is from their NBC affiliate. By the way, our local affiliates here, I don't—listen, guys, I don't know who you've got in charge of your social media. I don't know what little—what's the latest generation we have now? I don't even know, is it—is it X, Z, Y, W, X, Y, Z? What is—what is the name of of the—what is it? Is it... It is not Jay-Z. It is not—is it Gen Z? I don't—no, you—you know what I know what it is. I know exactly. This is Generation... Soundbite: ...MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+... Charlie James: ...that generation. That generation. But I mean, if it is a negative story about President Trump, if it is a negative story about this administration, if it is a negative story about Republicans, they are all over it. That's all they post. It—it really is amazing. I would love to go back and—and see how many—how many stories about Angel Moms they've done. Well, they don't, because they do ...
