Hour 1 - Charlie James slammed the Dignity Act as political "amnesty" while awaiting a rumored 6 PM Trump announcement on an Iran peace deal.
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
On Thursday, April 9, 2026, The Charlie James Show centered on a critical intersection of global volatility and domestic political frustration. Highlighting a "long week" defined by "may or may nots," James reported a single-source rumor of a 6:00 PM announcement by President Trump, potentially regarding a final "Real Agreement" to solidify the current fragile two-week ceasefire with Iran. The broadcast also analyzed the impact of Lloyd’s of London effectively paralyzing the Strait of Hormuz by cancelling maritime war insurance, leaving hundreds of tankers stranded because "without insurance, your propellers don't turn".

What this episode covers
00:00 Welcome to the program on your Thursday afternoon. As I know everybody, I don't know what has been about this week. This has been what it seemed like a very, very long week. uh I think it was all of that stuff with uh the possibility of us um raining down hellfire on Iran the other night. And then of course, know, that and that died down. we may or may not have a peace deal. 00:29 We may or may not have the Gulf of the Strait of Hormuz being opened. There's a lot of may or may nots going on out there right now. But again, it's been just a what it seemed like a very, very long week. We did. I did hear today earlier and I've got no confirmation other than one source that said Trump is going to make an announcement tonight at six o'clock. That's the only source I got one. 01:00 Nothing confirmed from the White House, but we'll see about that. If that does indeed happen at six o'clock, we'll certainly bring some of that to you right here on the program. So we'll see. right. Over in Augusta, Georgia, Sam Burns is the leader in the clubhouse at five under at the Masters. Rory McElroy is in second place right now. He is at five under through 15. um 01:26 And there you go. There's the top two at five under. else is around, oh, yeah, everybody else is around three under at the Masters. First round of the Masters going on today. Well, you've you heard you've been hearing about all this stuff about the deal with Iran. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. Before we do that, I want to. Charlie, this morning they were talking about the technology that let us know exactly where the pilot was. 01:56 I was going to read about it, but I can't remember the name. Can you give me any help here? Yes, I can. It's called the ghost murmur, ghost murmur, where they can pick up. I would just think about this technology. Just think about this technology for a second. They can detect a heartbeat within miles, miles. Now, 02:25 Other than somebody isolated alone in the desert in the mountainous region of the desert. I don't know how maybe maybe be good. You know, if there's like. 02:41 You're about to go into a house and you don't know if anybody is in the house. You can kind of aim this thing at the house and let you know if there's a person in there. Maybe it is only for search and rescue or things like that. I don't know how you would use it in a crowded city or anything like that, but it is absolutely amazing technology. Charlie, good afternoon. With Iran having no weapons supposedly, how are they controlling the state of Hormuz? Well, we talked about that yesterday. 03:10 uh... with next special forces agent and it's the threat. So we have defeated their air force, we've defeated their navy, and we have defeated their 03:30 Well, they're military. oh Now, that does not mean they still don't have some weapons out there. Right? There's still going to be little rogue bands of folks. And remember the Strait of Hormuz, that's a pretty big area. All right? Just the threat. Now here's what's going on. Let's say you're the captain of an oil tanker. And there's even, well, hold on. So you're captain of oil tanker. Hey, you want to go through the Strait of Hormuz? No, no, no, no, I don't. 03:59 I don't want to go. uh Are they still threatening to blow up our tankers? Yes. No, I'm not going. So that's, it's the threat that is controlling the the Strait of Hormuz right now. And not only that, you have to look at Lloyd's of London. Lloyd's of London is basically, they've got a monopoly on all of the maritime insurance throughout the globe. 04:28 Anybody if you've got if you've got a cargo ship 04:34 If you've got an oil tanker, if you've got a liquid natural gas tanker, whatever it is, if you haul something on the ocean, you just like when you go out in your car, you got to have insurance.
