Description
The Charlie James Show (Tue July 21, 2026 – Hour 1) opens with exciting station news: NewsTalk 98.9 WORD will soon be available on SiriusXM satellite radio. Charlie then pivots to the main political headline of the day—filing day for the late Senator Lindsey Graham’s U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina. Callers actively debate the emerging Republican field, including businessman Mark Lynch, Representative Ralph Norman, and Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darling Graham. Listeners express skepticism regarding Darling Graham’s bid, questioning her qualifications and whether her candidacy represents a political family dynasty, while others highlight her access to Lindsey’s campaign infrastructure and potential cross-party appeal in open primaries. Beyond local politics, Charlie leads a discussion on ten foundational truths about the Democratic Party, contrasting them with conservative values, and takes aim at Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) for her opposition to the SAVE Act.
