Episode Details

During Hour 3 of The Charlie James Show on September 21, 2026, host Charlie James opened with a satirical proclamation about South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster’s refusal to grant gas tax relief to SC residents. He was joined by State Representative Diane Mitchell (21st District) to discuss potential legislative remedies, specifically proposed tax rebates ($200 for individuals, $300 for families) funded by unencumbered agency carryover funds and non-essential earmarks. Callers dialed in to share varying opinions on upcoming political races, congressional write-in candidates, and party unity. Later in the hour, Charlie criticized the continued service of elderly politicians, pointing to a recent incident involving Senator Mitch McConnell to advocate for congressional age limits and mandatory cognitive testing, before concluding with a look at positive national poverty and income statistics.
