In the opening segment of the second hour of The Charlie James Show on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Charlie James interviewed Kiersten Pels, the newly appointed Secretary of the Republican National Committee (RNC), to discuss the GOP's strategic roadmap for the 2026 midterm elections. Pels, who recently transitioned from her role as communications director for Senator Ron Johnson to join Joe Gruters' leadership team at the RNC, outlined a "Back to Basics" campaign focused on tax cuts, border security, and countering "lawfare" tactics. During the interview, she emphasized the importance of expanding the Republican House and Senate majorities to support the Trump administration's agenda, specifically noting that the upcoming June 9th primary in South Carolina would serve as a critical bellwether for voter enthusiasm in the Upstate.

What this episode covers
00:02 All right, let's go to the W.O.R.D. talk line 800-905-0989. We'll talk to Chris in Charlotte. How you doing, Chris? How you doing, Charlie? I'm all right. What's up, No, I just wanted to chime in on that James Comey thing. You know, um I know that makes sense to go after that fish when there's a lot of other big fish, especially in the spotlight. Yeah. But um 00:25 getting that to go all the way through fruition, past the appeals and everything else too will set a good precedent going forward. Then all these people like a song hiker and all these other people can start taking a little bit of accountability, you know, that as they say in Minnesota, you live and you learn. 00:47 Exactly right Chris. You live and you learn. You're right. I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. Let's go to John in Waynesville. John, welcome. Hey Charlie. Hey bud. Hey, I don't know who is sicker, the people that are making these death threats or the people that are not prosecuting those making the death threats. uh We have a lot of states have some pretty stiff penalties, including up to 15 years for making death threats. 01:14 Yeah, and let me just kind of interrupt you here for just a second. I had a guy when I was down in Charleston, a guy was talking about uh Donald Trump and he said what he wanted to do to Donald Trump. 01:30 The show ended at 10 in the morning. I was headed home when I got a call to come back to the station because I had to sit down and talk with the Secret Service. We're talking within 40 minutes. Secret Service and I were having a conversation. was to go back, I had to find the transcript, the tape of the call, play it for them. That was within 40 minutes. 01:58 It seems like these days Hassan Piker can say something like, know, uh talking about, you know, uh Scott or whoever and nothing gets done. Are we that lax these days? Even against a civilian, it's horrific that we have a nation that even allows that to happen, that people have to fear for their lives. Never mind, you know, the leader of our country. So like you said, Charlie, they contacted you immediately. They know what's going on. 02:26 These guys know what's going on. Charlie again, we've had this many discussions on the depth of the corruption of our nation. Somebody is just, I mean, there's somebody that can take action and get this done. It doesn't take the whole Congress to get this done. It doesn't seem like it. And I appreciate it, John. Thank you very much. Got to take a quick break. be right back. It's the Charlie James show. News Talk 98.9. WORD, the voice of the Carolinas.
