Topic - Oil and Gas prices; Topic - Conservatism ; Whisper campaign against Mark Lynch
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
In the opening segment of the second hour of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Charlie transitioned from Tax Day frustrations to the rising economic pressure of oil and gas prices, which remain projected to stay above $3 per gallon through 2027. This led into a broader discussion on conservatism and the internal battle for the GOP's future, specifically highlighting the primary challenge against Senator Lindsey Graham by Greenville businessman Mark Lynch. The segment addressed a reported whisper campaign aimed at Lynch's "America First" candidacy, as he attempts to position himself as a more conservative alternative to the long-serving incumbent in South Carolina's upcoming primary.

00:00 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. 00:21 Oh 00:25 spacious skies for amber waves of 00:35 For purple mountain majesties. 00:56 share his grace on thee. 01:09 from sea to shining sea. America is back. Yes, sir. And we are back. Sorry to cut that off. Man, I'm not doing well with the buttons today. Let's go to the phones and talk to Anthony and Greer. Anthony, welcome. Greetings, sir. How are you? I'm wonderful. What's going on? So I had a quick question. First of all, last time I met you was at the watch party for the presidential election. My son and I met. You was a wonderful time. 01:39 I remember you Anthony, how you doing bud? Not too bad yourself sir. I'm doing great, what's going on? Fantastic, please say hi to your lovely wife. I will, thank you. the question I had, I'm a little confused about some of the statements I hear. We have the war in Iran, the gas prices are going way up. We're feeling the price and yet all I keep hearing is how we're energy independent, we've got all the supplies we need, we're not affected. Why are we feeling it at the pump when we're energy independent? 02:05 Okay, because all of the oil, doesn't matter where it comes from, what country, what state, wherever it comes from, all of that oil goes into the global market. Okay. And because the global market is setting the price on this, we are now paying for it. It is going to drop. Once the Strait of Hormuz, m Scott Besson said um it's going to drop by a lot pretty quickly. And he's even telling oil companies, listen, 02:35 We want these prices to go down just as quickly as they went up. He's giving them a warning, but it all has to do with global markets. Just because oil comes from Texas or Oklahoma or Alaska, it still has to go into the global market, and that's what affects the price on that, Anthony. It's a very complicated thing, and I understand a lot, and I don't even understand all of it, but that's just the way it works. I appreciate your call, buddy. Best to you. Let's go to Rainey in Fair Play. Rainey, how are you? 03:05 Hey, I'm doing good. Charlie, how are you? great. What's on your mind? This is the first time I called in, so. Then you get the bell. There you go. Thank you. a lot. ah Just say I love your show. Thank you. Listen to Tara of the morning and everything. So I always debate on whether to call in and say anything. But I guess I'm really fed up with the way. uh 03:29 the conservatives are always attacked like at the turning point, the USA, that young lady that got shoved to the ground by uh that guy that obviously has no respect for anybody. ah My question is, when you walk into a situation like that, why do they not have bodyguards with them? 03:56 You know, to keep somebody from doing that. You know, a lot of times that's extremely expensive. 04:05 extremely expensive. I don't know. Here's the thing, though. I mean, 04:11 The left, I mean, they're just violent. And again, people should know that, but I mean, my goodness. Why should you think going into an event like Turning Point USA, you're gonna be attacked by radical liberals? I mean, listen, that's why they're keeping the Kamala Harris event tonight secret. 04:30 because they think we're going to be violent, they know we're not the violent ones, Rainey, I appreciate it. All right, today on the Bill Frady Show, and this has been something that has been, let me say, whispered over the past couple of days, and we all know why this whisper campaign started, and that's what they call it. It was a whisper campaign against Mark Lynch. ah 05:00 It Mark Lynch called into Bill Frey today and he admitted that it back in 1984. 05:08 1984, 1984, he pled guilty or pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge.
