Hour 1 - Charlie James analyzed King Charles' address, Comey's re-indictment, Iran's reported collapse, the Minnesota DOJ raids, and the WHCD shooter's mental state.

In the second segment of the first hour of The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Charlie James focused on a dramatic escalation in rhetoric concerning the war in Iran. James analyzed a social media post from President Trump made earlier that morning, in which the President claimed that Iranian officials had "informed us that they are in a 'State of Collapse.'" James discussed how this announcement coincided with a stalemate in peace talks, as Trump reportedly rejected a new Iranian proposal that sought to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without addressing the regime's nuclear program. The segment highlighted the internal chaos within Tehran following the death of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during Operation Epic Fury, with James weighing the administration's "maximum pressure" strategy against the ongoing economic strain of rising oil prices affecting listeners in the Upstate.
