In this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James responds to caller Tina and Facebook commenter Randolph regarding the high-stakes South Carolina U.S. Senate race between Republican nominee Darlene Graham-Nardone and Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews. Callers Michael and Tina discuss key policy issues—including candidate stances on Israel, conservative voting records, and party unity—while warning that write-in efforts for Ralph Norman could split the Republican base and deliver the seat to the Democrats. James emphasizes that despite primary frustrations, conservative voters must unite behind Graham-Nardone in November to ensure a Republican Senate majority and prevent progressive policies. For voter information, sample ballots, and polling locations, voters can consult the South Carolina State Election Commission portal.

In this segment of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James analyzes a surprising Trafalgar Group poll showing a virtually tied South Carolina U.S. Senate race between Republican Darlene Graham-Nardone (43.4%) and Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews (42.3%), despite a heavily Republican-skewed sample. James addresses listeners on both sides of the aisle, arguing that any conservative refusal to support the Republican nominee directly risks handing political control and key legislative votes to Democrats. Additionally, James outlines upcoming campaign debates, announces a scheduled interview with Dr. Annie Andrews, details early voting logistics starting October 19th, and compares both candidates' positions on major issues such as the SAVE America Act, parental rights, and abortion.

On The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James analyzes recent Trafalgar Group polling in South Carolina showing Republican U.S. Senate nominee Darlene Graham-Nardone holding a narrow 1.1-point lead (43.4% to 42.3%) over Democratic challenger Dr. Annie Andrews, despite a heavily Republican-skewed poll sample. James spars with multiple conservative callers who express frustration over Graham-Nardone's low profile and conservative credentials, warning them that withholding votes or writing in alternative candidates like Ralph Norman only splits the conservative base and hands a key Senate seat—and broader political momentum—to Democrats. Callers additionally debate historical precedents for write-in campaigns, down-ballot implications, and local primary logistics, while James maintains that preserving a Republican Senate majority is the primary imperative.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by being joined by Michael Whatley to talk about the 2026 North Carolina Senate race and Roy Cooper’s record on criminal justice. During the interview, Whatley discussed his campaign’s criticism of Cooper over a 2021 settlement that resulted in thousands of inmates being released early. Whatley cited recent reporting about individuals released under the agreement and argued that Cooper should be held accountable for the policy. Cooper has defended the releases, saying the state was required to follow a court order and disputing Republican claims about the individuals connected to subsequent crimes. Later Brett discusses the alleged FBI cyberattack involving the hacking group ShinyHunters, examining claims that the group accessed sensitive information belonging to FBI employees and applicants. ShinyHunters claimed it compromised the FBI’s jobs portal and obtained a much broader collection of data, while a sample reviewed by 404 Media reportedly included information on approximately 5,000 alleged FBI agents, including names, addresses, phone numbers and details involving spouses. The FBI has confirmed it is aware of claims involving unauthorized activity affecting FBIjobs.gov and said it is actively investigating. The bureau also said the point of the breach remains undetermined and that it is working with third-party providers to mitigate potential risks.

Mark is joined by Bill O'Reilly, iconic author and host of No Spin News, to discuss his latest book, Confronting America: What Has To Change. O'Reilly shares his analysis on tight Senate battles in Texas and Michigan, the political impact of international conflicts involving Iran ahead of the midterm elections, and the importance of innovation, leadership, and personal responsibility in overcoming national challenges.

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - SEASON 5 EPISODE 7 A-Block (SPECIAL COMMENT): I confess - I fell for it. Trump banned CNN and MS Now from the White House and I immediately thought: the rest of the media finally, FINALLY, has to walk out and not give this bastard any further coverage. No - I was wrong. Then I thought: he ADMITS “we took the freedom of speech away.” And I thought: it IS the most blatant attack on the 1st Amendment in the history of our country And it should – it WILL – it MUST inspire even this nation’s somnambulant media to rise up as one and for once use its power to fight back – to defend not their jobs, but their country. No. I was wrong. On second thought, I realized this was a set-up. Trump has picked fights with Iran, with Canada, the EU, over oil, over tariffs, over hockey, over arches, over the Kennedy Center - and he's lost them all. He needs a fight against a weak opponent who will fold up when the first punch lands. It's his only chance to salvage the midterms. Weak opponent? Who will fold up? When the first punch lands? That's our White House press corps! I'm asking them to do what comes naturally to them - do nothing. Nothing until after Trump gets fricasseed in the midterms. Don't give him the fight he needs. Then, humiliate him. And at this rate he is going to get fricasseed. 97% chance the Democrats take the house, 65% the Democrats take the Senate, Democrats winning all the key Senate races (the one in North Carolina by FIFTEEN points). Let's not shoot off our big bazoos and snatch defeat from the jaws of Trump's defeat. Also: he's threatening Iran again, the Greenland deal is just a climbdown, and if the 25-story D.C. Arch (a life-sized reproduction of Trump's ego) weren't already bad enough, he's added a platform for snipers and a staging ground for drones. Because that's what you need next to a major airport. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: King Charles, some rando on Threads who thinks the Democrats are admitting "illegal ALLENS" and Puck media guy Dylan Byers, not only carrying water for the disaster that is Bari Weiss, but now with new reported financial conflicts of interest whenever he covers CBS (The Conservative Brainwashing System). C-Block (51:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: MS NOW is in the news for being too political and as the founder of the only iteration of it or MSNBC that succeeded, I find this infuriating - and ironic. During my first stint there in 1997-98 we were so non-political and so ultra-tabloid that I walked in one day and the rundown said our lead story was an advance look at the publication of "The Farmers' Almanac" and our guest was its publisher.

The School Board approved the measure this summer, targeting stickers used by some teachers to identify classrooms as safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students, but later paused enforcement while attorneys revised the language.

The policy could be approved as soon as next month.St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her has amended her proposed 2027 budget, reversing an earlier proposal to close the Dayton's Bluff Library.
