Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said the part Canada does not want on loop: You cannot be in a tit for tat with a country 13 times larger than you are. Watch the clip. Then watch what he said next. On CNBC from the G20 in Asheville, Bessent was asked if America is now in a trade war with Canada. He waved it off. Mark Carney, he said, turned a deal into a political shouting match because it helps Carney and the Liberal Party — not Canadian workers. The United States offered what Bessent called the best trade deal of any country on the globe. Carney walked away at the last minute. Now Ottawa wants to talk toughness while sitting next to an economy an order of magnitude bigger. “We're not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada? What, are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?” Pat also covered:  It's SEPTEMBER!

Judicial races are the ones most people skip and they might be the ones that shape your life the fastest. We sit down with Christine Walczyk, a Wake County trial judge and democratic candidate for the North Carolina Court of Appeals Seat 3 race, to translate what the appellate courts actually do, why their decisions set statewide precedent, and how recent changes mean the Court of Appeals often becomes the final word for everyday North Carolinians.We talk candidly about the growing perception that judges rule along party lines, what politicization does to public trust, and why an independent judiciary is supposed to serve as a check on the other branches. Christine explains how appellate judging differs from trial work, why clear and well-reasoned opinions matter, and how she thinks about judicial restraint, precedent, and the rare moments when the law must evolve to meet modern realities like new technology and new forms of surveillance.Then we dig into a practical problem that shows up in eviction, custody, and domestic violence cases every day: access to justice. We unpack “legal deserts,” the high cost of bringing civil cases, and how IOLTA (interest on lawyer trust accounts) funding supports legal aid and pro bono services. When that funding shrinks or eligibility changes, real people lose real help, and the system becomes harder to navigate without a lawyer. We also cover court funding constraints, accountability and ethics, and what voters should expect from judges beyond a party label.If you care about constitutional rights, due process, court transparency, and fair access to legal help, this conversation is for you.

Your rent is up, groceries cost more than they did last year, and health care still feels like a maze with a price tag attached. That's the backdrop for our Candidate Conversation with Paul Barringer, the Democratic candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District, where he makes the case that Congress should stop rubber-stamping and start protecting everyday people.We dig into the three issues he says are front and center for District 13 voters: affordability, health care, and corruption. Paul draws on decades of health care policy and legal work to explain why access to affordable coverage is often the difference between getting care and going without, what he believes is at stake for Medicaid and Affordable Care Act subsidies, and why reforms have to lower the underlying cost of care, not just shift the bill around. He also lays out an anti-corruption agenda aimed at rebuilding trust, including stronger ethics rules and a push to ban stock trading by members of Congress.Then we widen the lens to what's landing locally right now: transportation and infrastructure for rapidly growing communities, the rise of hyperscale AI data centers in rural North Carolina, and the privacy risks that come with governments and contractors holding massive amounts of personal data. We close with practical voting reminders for the 2026 midterm election so you can make a plan and help your neighbors do the same.If this conversation helps you sort through the noise, subscribe, share the episode with a friend in NC, and leave a review so more voters can find it.Paul Barringer: Campaign Finance ReportFacebook/Instagram/Threads/X/Bluesky/TikTok/YouTubePaul@PaulBarringer.comVoter Information (Register, Am I Registered?, Election Information) Voter Info (Designated Polling Places, Sample Ballots, Registration Status, Voting Jurisdiction, Verify Address and Party Affiliation) Election Information (Absentee by Mail Voting, Early Voting, Election Day Voting) Early Voting - October 15-31Closest Early Voting Locations WE Hunt Recreation Center-Holly SpringsHilltop Needmore Town Park Clubhouse-Fuquay VarinaBeech Bluff County ParkWake Tech-Southern CampusELECTION DAY Tuesday, November 3 from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PMSupport the showAs always, if you are interested in being on or sponsoring the podcast or if you have any particular issues, thoughts, or questions you'd like explored on the podcast, please email NCDeepDive@gmail.com.  Your contributions would be greatly appreciated.Now, let's dive in!

Politics gets real when it touches the streets you drive, the schools your kids sit in, and the bills that show up every month. That's why we sat down with NC Senate District 17 Republican candidate Shirley Johnson for a wide-ranging, specific conversation focused on Southern Wake County communities like Holly Springs and Apex, plus the fast-changing edge of Raleigh.We start with why she's running and the experiences she says prepare her to lead on day one, then move straight into public safety and the justice system. She explains why she sees enforcement and accountability as a key leverage point, and how her work around human trafficking shapes her view of victim services and stronger penalties for offenders. From there, we get practical about growth: roads, infrastructure planning, whether the state is keeping pace, and when partnering with the federal government can help close the gap without dumping costs onto local taxpayers.Next, we tackle issues that are driving intense local debate: data centers, energy demand, rising utility rates, noise, and the bigger question of who should have authority when a project impacts a town's quality of life. We also talk housing affordability and property taxes, including seniors feeling squeezed and working families struggling to buy into a market shaped by corporate investors. Finally, we spend time on public education, school choice, the North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship, and what “fixing public schools” looks like in concrete terms, including admin overhead, classroom conditions, teacher support, and student proficiency.You'll also hear key reminders for the 2026 election, including early voting dates, registration rules, and why checking your sample ballot matters.

In this fiery clip, the host takes on candidate Darlene Graham over alleged million-dollar Democratic PAC ad spending in South Carolina!

Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James takes calls from listeners reacting to a recent political debate. Caller Roger from Taylor expresses his disappointment with candidate Ms. Shattuck, noting that she seemed reliant on her notes and struggled when asked unscripted questions. He voices his support for candidate Norman, hoping he wins and appoints Adam Morgan as his chief of staff. Next, Allison from Greenville calls in to urge citizens to vote, comparing choosing an experienced political candidate to selecting a surgeon. Charlie then highlights strong early voting turnout figures, noting that over 1,300 voters appeared on the first day in Spartanburg County—exceeding primary election numbers. Finally, Janice from Gastonia calls to emphasize the importance of voter participation, leading Charlie to conclude the segment by criticizing debate moderator Greta Van Susteren for incorrectly stating that gas prices were at a record high.

The broadcast focuses on crucial upcoming political events in South Carolina, particularly the Senate special Republican primary runoff and the start of early voting. The host urges listeners to check voting locations and emphasizes the significance of voter turnout. A major portion of the discussion centers on the upcoming candidate debate between Ralph Norman and Darlene Graham.

Additional discussions cover state spending concerns, local surveillance cameras (Flock systems), labor market trends, and broader political discourse.

Charlie James opens the show by previewing early voting for the South Carolina Senate runoff election starting tomorrow at 8:30 AM. He advises voters to verify their polling locations at scvotes.gov and urges listeners to turn out, predicting low turnout based on primary figures. Charlie previews tonight's candidate debate from the Newberry Opera House—airing on SCETV and Newsmax—and questions how candidates will handle key conservative issues like Trump's agenda, the SAVE America Act, and the Senate filibuster. He also reflects on candidate Darline Graham's campaign tactics before taking a call from Kenny in Cleveland to discuss debate strategies and candidate qualifications.

Trump was smuggled off Air Force One in a catering truck and flown out of Turkey on a secret military flight after a credible Iranian threat. You need to see how this actually went down. After the NATO summit in Ankara, cameras caught Trump boarding the older Air Force One. Minutes later, he and several aides stepped into an elevated catering container on the opposite side of the plane, got lowered to the tarmac, and driven over to a smaller C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boarded that same secret flight separately so it looked normal. The press and some White House staff sat on the decoy plane with the window shades ordered closed, thinking the president was with them the whole time. The C-32A landed in Britain nine minutes ahead of the decoy. Trump then reappeared on the older jet before switching to the Qatari-gifted plane for the trip home. Intelligence flagged a specific Iranian plot against him. Israel had tipped the U.S. The White House did not deny the operation.

Supervisor of Elections Vicky Oakes joins us to discuss Early Voting

Charlie James opens his Friday show by reminding listeners that early voting for the upcoming election closes at 5:00 PM today, with regular voting taking place on Tuesday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. He shares his experience attending the "Road to Washington" breakfast at the City Club, where Senate candidates Ralph Norman, Mark Sanford, and Russell Fry spoke and answered questions. Candidates Mark Lynch and Darlene Graham were absent; Graham submitted a pre-recorded, scripted video instead of attending in person, which sparked debate over campaign control versus voter accessibility. James reports on a straw poll from the breakfast event, where Ralph Norman led with 42.7% of the vote, followed by Russell Fry (22%), Mark Sanford (18%), Darlene Graham (16%), and Mark Lynch (1.3%). He also shares his personal experience voting early with his wife at McAlister Square, noting steady turnout, and breaks down recent early voting turnout figures across various South Carolina counties. Additionally, he addresses a listener's concern regarding delayed absentee ballots.

During this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James takes calls from local voters sharing their recent early voting experiences in Greenville County. Barbara from Greenville calls in to report steady turnout at McAlister Square, noting around 6,000 total voters across the previous few days and mentioning an exit poll featuring options like MAGA, Republican, and Democrat. Later, Shelley shares a frustrating interaction at the same polling location, where poll workers forced her to turn her shirt inside out because it referenced Donald Trump—despite him not being on the active ballot. Charlie expresses sympathy for her embarrassing ordeal, agreeing that the rule was applied incorrectly since the apparel did not constitute campaign material for the specific election.

Host Charlie James opens the broadcast by breaking down the political landscape ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, questioning whether Senate Republicans can overcome historical precedents against the incumbent White House party without altering key legislative procedures like the filibuster. He transitions into analyzing early voting turnout figures across South Carolina for the special Republican primary election, highlighting local county turnout statistics and addressing listener questions regarding voting procedures, county-specific polling rules, and the importance of checking voter resources online.

The first hour of The Charlie James Show on Thursday, August 6, 2026, opens with a discussion on the political landscape leading up to the midterms, specifically focusing on Republican strategy, Senate leadership under John Thune, and the filibuster. James transitions to local South Carolina politics, detailing turnout metrics for day one of early voting across counties like Greenville, Horry, and Richland, while urging voters to confirm their polling locations on SCVotes.gov. The commentary shifts toward ideological divides within the Democratic Party, highlighting the primary victory of progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and speeches by political commentator Hasan Piker. James discusses the reactions of traditional Democrats like James Carville to the party's leftward movement. The hour concludes with coverage of the U.S. Senate's 8–5 committee vote holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment. James outlines Senator Rand Paul's effort to bypass a full floor vote and submit a criminal referral directly to the Department of Justice following the release of Fauci's personal diaries and official phone records.

A new Movement Advancement Project report finds that voting access has become increasingly divided across the country since 2021.

Early voting for the South Carolina Senate special election primary has officially commenced, bringing key conservative candidates into the spotlight. Representative Ralph Norman joined The Charlie James Show to argue his case for the seat, emphasizing his business background and legislative track record in Congress. Norman argued that the Senate currently stifles critical conservative legislation, such as the SAVE America Act, and advocated for stricter voting procedures like the return of the walking filibuster to enforce accountability. Beyond the interview, the show featured caller commentary regarding voter turnout, local early voting locations, and the ideological divide within national politics.

During this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James interacts with listeners who call in to voice concerns regarding upcoming voting deadlines and political dynamics in South Carolina. The first caller, Lynn, expresses frustration after discovering at her local election office that absentee ballot requests for potential runoff elections had to be submitted far in advance (by July 21st), leaving little time for voters to react. Subsequent callers, Van and Doug, focus on the political race involving candidate Darlene Graham. Van questions whether party leadership misled voters regarding her role as a placeholder candidate, while Doug speculates on her recent debate performance and the financial backing from national Republican committees.

During Hour 4 of The Charlie James Show on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, host Charlie James engages with local South Carolina callers to discuss key political developments and upcoming elections. Callers analyze the Senate primary race following Lindsey Graham's passing, evaluating candidates like Ralph Norman and Darlene Graham while debating the influence of political endorsements and "dark money." The discussion highlights voter confusion surrounding changed early voting and polling locations in Anderson County, alongside critiques of local tax policies like the 12-cent sales tax. Beyond regional politics, Charlie addresses national security concerns regarding high-level leaks of military plans for Iran, calling for severe legal consequences. The show also touches on broader cultural and political shifts, commenting on the rising influence of radical voices within the Democratic Party and the changing political landscape leading into the primary elections.

On the August 5, 2026 broadcast of The Charlie James Show (Hour 1), host Charlie James leads a dynamic discussion centered on local and national political developments. The episode opens with caller commentary dissecting recent primary debates, leading into practical details regarding South Carolina's early voting schedules and polling resources like SCVotes.gov.

Transcript

Charlie James opens the show by previewing upcoming interviews with Sheri Biggs and Representative Ralph Norman regarding his US Senate bid. He takes a call from "Patrick Henry 2.0," who shares his unenthusiastic review of the previous night's debate, noting that Ralph Norman was the only standout speaker. The caller also jokes about candidate Russell Fry's resemblance to actor Kevin James and questions why candidate names are listed in a specific order on the voting ballot. Charlie addresses the query by explaining that ballot order is typically determined by filing sequence and details the logistics for early voting in the South Carolina Republican Senate primary. He encourages listeners to check scvotes.gov for exact polling locations and hours, while also offering commentary on recent gas price drops, potential international agreements with Iran, and the shifting dynamics between progressive and establishment factions within the Democratic Party.

Trump's pollster Jim McLaughlin joins Sean Spicer with brand-new numbers most of the media won't show you.

July 26, 2026, 8 AM; As the president prepares to rally in the battleground state of Michigan on Monday, early voting is happening now for the state's primary election scheduled to take place on August 4th. Earlier this month, Trump's Department of Justice sent letters to officials in three of Michigan's Democratic-leaning cities, including Detroit, detailing plans to have federal monitors observe voting during next month's primary. The Justice Department also warned several states, including Michigan, that they could face criminal action if they knowingly allow non-U.S. Citizens to vote or to remain on their voter rolls. Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist joins The Weekend to discuss.
