    Jun 26 2026
    In the first hour of The Charlie James Show (June 26, 2026), Charlie James focused primarily on South Carolina politics, sharply criticizing Republican "RINOs" for blocking legislation that would have made ivermectin available over the counter after it had already passed both legislative chambers with bipartisan support. He accused Republican leaders of siding with Democrats for political retaliation against Freedom Caucus members following the primaries and argued that elected officials become less accountable once elections are over. James also warned listeners to watch for renewed support of controversial data center projects, highlighting a Spartanburg public meeting where nearly all attendees opposed a proposed facility while one Republican county council candidate remained seated. Callers expressed concerns about government surveillance, AI, Flock cameras, privacy, and the rapid expansion of data centers. In the second half of the hour, James shifted to national politics, reacting to New York City's Democratic primary by arguing that the Democratic Party is moving further toward socialism and communism, citing criticism from political strategist James Carville and questioning Democratic leaders' willingness to distance themselves from the party's progressive wing. He concluded by arguing that socialism is politically appealing because it promises "free" benefits, while asserting that such promises ultimately come at a significant cost.

Davy Hiatt and "RINO" Republicans collaborated with Democrats to kill a previously approved South Carolina bill meant to make ivermectin available over-the-counter.
