What this episode covers

Transcript Crowd: 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. (Crowd cheers) Singer: (Singing America the Beautiful) Oh 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 cheers) Audio Recording: America is back! Charlie James: Yes, sir! And we are back live from the Sheri Biggs Salute to Liberty right here at the Anderson Civic Center. And I kind of have to be a little quiet right now because they are having their security briefing. They just got through with the prayer. There's about 35 security detail right here—50, 60 feet away from me. Yeah, I'd say about 35 people there. It's going to be a very secure place tonight. Congresswoman Sheri Biggs is now addressing them, thanking them for being here. The Salute to Liberty coming up—it's going to be an amazing night, it really is. We're going to be talking with Congresswoman Sheri Biggs coming up in just a minute. Also, a little bit later on the program, we're going to have Congressman Ralph Norman; he's going to be on with us. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise will be joining us in the 6 o'clock hour. And then coming up sometime today—we don't know when, we don't have any confirmation or anything like that—because he just did not know when he was going to be here, we got Representative Jim Jordan, who is going to be coming by and seeing us at sometime during the program today. So, we'll keep you updated on all of that when it happens. By the way, did you see Nancy Mace's tattoos? Have you seen that? I mean, a lot of people have been talking about this today all over social media. Apparently, she was out there pushing the fact that she's got a new YouTube type of a show coming up, and she appeared on some show sleeveless, and she had some tattoos. Now, a lot of people were going, "Oh, why does a member of Congress have tattoos?" I don't care about that. I really could care less about those tattoos. What really surprised me about that whole thing was what she said about the reason that she got it, and that was because she needed the pain to make her feel. And I thought, wow. Just imagine—there's some stuff going on there, okay? There's some stuff going on there. Imagine you had a teenage daughter, and she came to you and she said, "Mom, Dad, I got to sit down, I got to have a serious conversation with you." She said, "I need pain to be able to feel." How would you handle that as a parent? I mean, that's some—I'm not saying this is self-harm in any way, but there's something going on there. There's definitely some signs of trauma going on there that she absolutely—and I hope she is getting that addressed. I really do, because that's some serious stuff that we're talking about. So again, the tattoos don't bother me at all. I mean, fine, go ahead, get your—I mean, look at Pete Hegseth, my goodness, the guy's got tattoos all over the place. But to have a member of Congress say that she needed the pain in order to feel, that to me was just a very interesting and disturbing comment from Nancy Mace. Hopefully, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, hopefully she's talking to somebody about the pain that she's feeling, about the trauma that she says that she has gone through. So we definitely want to do that. Okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to take a quick break. When we get back, we're going to be talking with the host of tonight's festivities, Representative Sheri Biggs. She'll be with us coming up next. It's The Charlie James Show, NewsTalk 98.9 WORD, the Voice of the Carolinas.
