Well, today, Jake Tapper started his program off with a little bit of a monologue. We're in a press conference this morning. Democratic governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, laid out what she saw as the clear motive.
00:17
Yesterday's attack was anti-Semitism. It was hate. Plain and simple. Temple Israel, as have many synagogues in this country, uh had prepared for the worst. There were armed security guards, multiple armed security guards already on site. Employees had taken an active shooter prevention class just a few weeks earlier. Their own caution prevented a far more horrible outcome in Michigan yesterday.
00:44
We should note that attack was just the latest in a long string of anti-Semitic violence in the United States and around the world in recent months. So why is it that so many public officials are still reluctant to call it out by name? In Dearborn, Michigan, police last night increased patrols around schools and mosques all across the city as a precautionary measure. Wait a minute. Hold on. Just a second.
01:16
You had an attack?
01:19
at a Jewish synagogue.
01:25
and they increased patrols at mosques?
01:30
Is that what you're trying to tell me? Jake Tapper?
01:35
Yes, Islamic, so an Islamic individual, Eman Mohammed Ghazali,
01:44
drives his truck into uh a Jewish temple and you increase patrols at mosques? Is that what you're telling me, Jake Tapper?
01:57
uh I am just, you would have thought, no, I'm no law enforcement expert. But if I've got an attack at a Jewish temple, I think I might be increasing security at Jewish temples. see, not the places of worship of the ideology that just attacked the Jewish temple. You see how weird that is?
02:28
But all during that monologue, Jay Tapper...
02:34
did not mention.
02:37
Islam did not mention Muslim, oh my gosh, was a joke told one time that said.
02:48
that said could you imagine
02:54
A Muslim got ahold of a dirty bomb and exploded it over a city and hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed. That would be horrible because of the backlash against the Muslim community. that was one of those jokes where people go, yeah, would be bad. But they didn't realize it. Hundreds of thousands of people are just killed by a Muslim terrorist attack and you're worried about
03:23
The backlash against the Muslim community? I think you got your priorities kind of mixed up there. Extremely mixed up.
03:34
This is a problem that's not only going on here, it's going on around the world. I want you to listen to this.
03:53
Do you know what that is? That is the Islamic call to prayer at the largest soccer stadium in England.
04:07
The biggest. Home of Manchester United.
04:14
and they allowed the Muslim call to prayer. I want to know, I want to go back and check. If I went to...
04:24
Old Trafford Stadium and I said, Hello, love, like to go in there and sing some hymns about the Lord. No, you wouldn't be able to do that. It wouldn't allow that. Can I just go in here and read some Psalms? No, can't do that. No, can't do that. Can I go in here and just read a few passages out of the Bible? No, no, no, Can I go do the Islamic call to prayer? Come on in. Everything's fine. Yes, you can.
04:53
England has been colonized. 100%. So last night over on, um over on X, which by the way, if you're not following me over on X, I would love if you were to do that at Charlie on air. That's at Charlie on air. also streamed the show live over there. um One person says, a hundred bucks says you never tweet when a good old American white dude kills anyone.
05:24
Okay, well, you see there's a difference here, and I'll explain that difference to you. um Here in the United States, sociologists group Americans into about 10 to 12 major religious families, so to speak. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Confucian traditions, Baha'i faith,
05:53
Native American religions and others. Okay, of that list, ...
00:00
All right, let's go to the WRD talk line. We'll talk to Robert in Mills River. How you doing, Robert? I'm doing good, Charlie. How are you? I'm great. What's up, I was just thinking this little old joke. He's talking about the jokes there. This is on Alatola back in the day. They said he went to get an examination at the hospital and all and the doctor told him, know,
00:25
He examined me and he said, you're healthy and body-wide. said, you're going to have to take that turbin off your head, you know, and let me look under it. I told him, no, you, I never took it off. said, you're going have take it off. So he took it off, he looked at me.
00:42
there's a frog sitting on top of his head. And he said, how'd that get that frog? started with the ward on my butt. I appreciate it, Robert. Thank you, buddy. Let's go to Lucas in Piedmont. What you doing, Lucas? Hey, Charlie. Happy Friday. Yes, sir. You too. So, you know, some incomplete thoughts here, but you had mentioned that, Joe, you were talking about a dirty bomb and whatnot. And of course, know, how it would negatively affect
01:10
the Muslim community. uh Only that reminds you of exactly uh Mamdani's sob story about how after 9-11 his mother got mean looks on the subway and how the entire thing of, know, 3000 people killed innocently, uh you know, just doing their own thing in this radically charged uh ideology and somehow
01:39
she's the victim here because people were uncomfortable. Yeah, and that whole thing, that was a Norm MacDonald joke. I appreciate the text for reminding me. couldn't, for some reason, Norm MacDonald's name slipped my mind. But he told that joke and then Mondani actually lived it out or claimed to live it. But it turned out it wasn't even his mom, it was his aunt or something ridiculous like that. They always have to come up with something. on the subject, uh
02:06
You know, it always seems like when it comes to, um, you know, the Muhammad Ali Abu Bakr names and, you know, how many shootings have we had at churches and synagogues and attempts to, uh, you know, detonate bombs in the ideology.
02:27
And everyone's like, well, we really don't know what the ideology is, or we don't know what the motive was. Right, yeah. They're saying that about Michigan right now. Well, of course. But then, your Twitter ex-harasser there who was like, oh, why don't you call out white people? Anytime there's a white person or something like that, they're like, oh, it must have been Trump, must have been radical Christianity or something like that. Yeah, white nationalism. to say that Charlie Kirk's shooter is still on the right.
02:56
Yeah, not because they're trying to throw out evidence from his social media accounts. It shows that it's not exactly true. Yep. And, know, uh, Jesse Smollett. Oh yeah. These guys tried to, tried to hurt me. And still we've got people on the left, like Abby Phillips and all them who were trying to say, well he was accosted and you know, is an anti, anti left, uh, Trump extremism that's out there. I mean, stop it. It's like, come on people. You're right.
03:25
You're right Lucas, they never want to take responsibility. Janice is in Gastonia. Janice, welcome. Hi Charlie. Hey, well I hope you're doing well on this Friday the 13th. I know right. Going under any ladders or crossing black cats. I hope not today.
03:44
And I'm hoping that I'm not the only one that feels this way. if it naturalized citizen commits a federal crime, I don't want to pay for them to go to prison. I don't want their butts out of this country where they can't hurt nobody else. There's no rehabilitation. They've proven that time and time again. And if I'm not mistaken, the attacks that we've had the last two weeks, it's either been children of naturalized citizens or naturalized citizens.
04:15
hate to say it, we need to get rid of the Muslims that believe the extreme Islamic only because you cannot, they believe and it's legal for them to marry a ni ...

England has been colonized. 100%. So last night over on, um over on X, which by the way, if you're not following me over on X, I would love if you were to do that at Charlie on air. That's at Charlie on air. also streamed the show live over there. um One person says, a hundred bucks says you never tweet when a good old American white dude kills anyone.

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Confucian traditions, Baha'i faith,
05:53
Native American religions and others. Okay, of that list, of that list of re ...
00:02
Muhammad Jallah, Muhammad Jallah shouted Allahu Akbar before opening fire at Old Dominion. um That's been ruled a terrorist attack. Amen. Muhammad Ghazali, he's the guy that drove into the synagogue in Michigan. You had the two bomb throwers in New York City. You had the shooter in New York City. Terrorism is in our midst, ladies and gentlemen, right now. ah And what are we going to do about it?
00:32
That's the thing. What are we going to do about it? Joining us right now is Dr. Ehrenfeld, who is the author of uh Finding Evil, How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop it. Dr. Ehrenfeld, welcome to the program, ah Thank you for having me. So, I mean, this is what is, I mean, when we look at all of this stuff, is there a common ideology behind all the terrorism? Yeah, since you asked, yeah.
01:02
This is Jihad and sacrificing one for Allah. So since October 7, 2023, when Hamas committed genocide against Israelis and others in Gaza, there have been more than 13,340
01:33
anti-Semitic attacks. That means attacks against Jews. 13,340? Yes. Wow. And this includes the attacks at the universities that we saw. were demonstrations all the time. Yeah. Okay. These attacks, this includes attacks on the streets.
01:59
This includes not only attacks from synagogues, there are many, many attacks which are not reported. People don't want to bother with it. People are attacked on the street because they have, they wear a kippah, something on the head that Orthodox Jews wear, or they wear a magendavid, it's a Star of David, as a jewelry.
02:27
They are being attacked all the time. now it's not just, I mean, we all know what happened at the Jewish Center in Michigan. Gretchen Whitmer said this was anti-Semitism and everybody's calling it out and saying it's a horrible thing, but nobody's pointing the finger at the ideology behind it. And like you said, it was jihad, right? Yeah. Well, the attacker,
02:54
absolutely that I have came from Dearborn Michigan right very crazy about half an hour drive from there and um at uh for example Dearborn both the mayor of the city is radical Muslim yeah who justified justified the attack saying that the family family and some friends of the attacker
03:24
uh... uh... previously because uh... bombing the Hezbollah. Well, it turns out that his brother apparently in Lebanon has been a member of Hezbollah. We don't know about him because nobody asked apparently the question when he became a citizen or when he arrived in the United States. um And for example, what they are teaching professors ah
03:52
had been quoting from me ah in Dearborn, ah the Ford Community College, Professor Ali Akbar Shadid said the following, Trump made a huge mistake by killing our leader Ali Khamenei. We are going to continue on his path. We are going to hold his blood and ideology and teach it to our children. This is this week.
04:22
after Ali Khamenei was killed a week ago, something by the United States and Israel. So they are continuing also to preach in their mosques all the time for jihad, to kill all the Jews, but it's not only the Jews. Now we see also more arise in attacks against Christian Americans.
04:48
ah So we have seen there was the attack in Austin, Texas. What is it? Two weeks ago, 12 people were shot. uh Others were wounded. We have seen the attacks, other attacks this week, uh like the attack on, oh what is it? Yeah, this was Austin, Texas. Yeah. Yeah, and also,
05:17
He also yelled, Anurag Akbar, was wearing an Iranian flag on his clothes. Right. Yeah. That was in New York. But again, it's like nobody in the mainstream media wants to point out you can't solve a problem unless you identify the problem, and they just don't want to identify the problem. You absolutely have to identify the problem. And you have to look at data, at statistics.
05:45
The Muslims in the United States account to about 1.2, maybe 1.3 percentage of the population. I don't know, 99 % of terrorist ...
00:02
The Democrats, the minority in the Senate, seem to be the majority. Because it's not just them. I mean, you got several senators out there that are like, I'm not voting for that as long as this provision is in it or that provision. Shut up. We're trying to secure our elections with the Save America Act.
00:28
The Democrats are using the only power. Oh, please understand this. Please, if you get nothing else from this segment, understand this. The only power that the Democrats have right now in the Senate is the power that John Thune allows them to have.
00:56
John Thune is giving them the power, not only to block funding for DHS and TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA, he's also giving them, he's giving them the power.
01:12
to block the Save America Act. In fact, he's giving them the power to block over 200 bills that are sitting in the Senate. So really, the ultimate roadblock that we have in the Senate right now is John Thune. It's not the Democrats. The Democrats are only using the power that he gave them.
01:34
Wait a minute, a minute. uh Senator Thune, you said we can block these bills? That's right, you can block the bills. And you're not going to do anything to stop us? No, I'm not going to do anything to stop you.
01:52
But you could stop us if you wanted to. Yeah, I could. But you're not. No, I'm not. That's how that conversation is. You can pull that all down to that.
02:03
The only power the Democrats have is the power that John Thune's given them. And he could revoke that power like that. I just don't have the votes. uh I thought you were the Senate majority leader. I thought you led the Senate majority. But apparently you're not a leader. So then therefore you need to go. Well, Senator Mike Lee might have an idea. Let's take a listen to what he said.
02:33
Okay, important update on the Save America Act and the effort to get it passed. Look, I am guardedly optimistic. We've turned kind of a corner. Over the last few days, there's been some uncertainty about exactly what procedure we will be and will not be using. In the end, we've been working closely with Leader Thune and his staff, and they've been great to work with. What we're coming up with is something that I think is best described as a hybrid version of the talking filibuster. But look, let's not...
03:02
get mired down in nomenclature. What matters far more than what we call it is what we do with it. We're going to bring it to the floor. We're going to debate it for an extended period of time before filing cloture. And in my view, at least, I don't want to speak for anyone else. This bill needs to remain on the Senate floor before we file cloture on the bill for as long as it takes to get it done. Now, fact that Leader Thune and his office have been willing to work with us on this and they appear open to a variation of that is a good thing. So let's
03:32
Let's keep up the momentum. Let's encourage them to continue to do this. Let's put the bill on the floor. Let's make those who want to filibuster speak and keep it on there as long as possible. Thanks so much. Not really sure how that's a hybrid talking filibuster, but there you go. But please understand this. John Thune is gaslighting you. When he's talking about bringing this Save America to the floor of the Senate.
04:02
next week. He is gaslighting you.
04:08
This is nothing more than a show vote. That's all it is. It's a show vote. He knows it's not going to pass. He knows it's not going to pass 60 votes. But what he wants to do is give cover, give cover to all of those Republicans who are against it. And there are some out there.
04:34
You got the McConnells and his crowd, Mikowski. You got those folks. So what he wants to do is he wants to bring it to the floor of the Senate and then just let all the Republicans quote unquote vote for it. That way they can all say I voted for it knowing good and well that the Democrats are going to vote against it.
04:59
...
00:00
Muhammad Jallah, Muhammad Jallah shouted Allahu Akbar before opening fire at Old Dominion. um That's been ruled a terrorist attack. Amen. Muhammad Ghazali, he's the guy that drove into the synagogue in Michigan. You had the two bomb throwers in New York City. You had the shooter in New York City.

05:44
The Muslims in the United States account for about 1.2, maybe 1.3 percentage of the popul ...
00:00
and justice for all.
00:06
you
00:09
For spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties.
00:40
God shed his grace on thee.
00:51
you
00:54
from sea to shining sea. America is back. Yes, sir. And we are back. And I got to tell you, folks, we've got less than three months until the primaries. Less than three months. Get ready. It's coming up on June 9th.
01:24
Oh my goodness, that's too quick. So a little while ago, there was a bill in front of the House and this was uh put forth by Marjorie Bright Matthews, a Democrat, and that would remove the religious exemptions from the MMR vaccine. Would have done away with the religious exemption. Now, this bill was sent
01:53
Well, it didn't move out of the subcommittee because there are watchdogs in Columbia, the people that are there actually keeping a close eye on our state legislature. And now the state legislature, they don't like that very much. They don't like the fact that they've got people looking over their shoulders. Joining us right now is Elena Moore with Palmetto State Watch. Elena, these people really don't like you watchdogs in Columbia, do they? eh
02:20
It appears that way. I knew that they didn't like us, but I didn't know that it was this intense. Yeah, they're going to have a bill to put a whole lot of restrictions on you folks, right? It's called uh S960. Tell us about it. Yes, S960 was filed the same day that that MMR vaccine bill was scheduled for a hearing, which should have never even made it to a hearing, let alone been heard being a uh
02:49
supposedly red state, but S 960 is the ultimate incumbent protection act as it eliminates all opposition to elected officials. This bill is how you completely control elections in South Carolina with discouraging citizens from participating. instead of the power of the people, the little bit of power that we do have, it will be shifted to only those that can afford the detailed compliance requirements.
03:14
that are funded by donors who would not be impacted like George Soros and Bill Gates. And I can go a little bit into what's actually in S960. Yeah, let's hear it. So S960, it defines election communication that would encompass any paid message supported or opposing a clearly identified candidate or ballot measure. So not even just a candidate, it can be just a ballot measure over TV, radio, internet or print.
03:39
And they pretty much would consider anything like that to be considered election communications. So pretty much anything political almost. The bill also redefined or defines independent expenditure committee as any one or any group that spends $500 or more on political messaging that will be classified as an independent expenditure committee. If you qualify as this, you now have to provide very detailed compliance rules, including major donor and spending disclosures.
04:09
And the main things that they would have you do is disclose your donors that have contributed $1,000 or more with their name, address, occupation, personal information. They would have you list your spending disclosures. So any vendors that you have, any fundraisers that you have, um you have to report any transfers to political committees or any debts and obligations.
04:34
The third thing you'd have to do is you'd have forced disclaimers on communication. So any communications that you have in the internet, on print or mail, you'd have to put your committee name. And then if you're on radio, TV, or even just doing a podcast, you'd have to say your committee name and also say the address with it as well. Good grief. It's crazy. mean, no one, and it gets even worse because the other two things that they would have you do,
05:03
is maintain your records for four years, and if that wasn't enough, you'd have to file with the State Ethics Commission on the same schedule as campaign reports. So basically, if you're trying to get involved in politics at all, you would be ...
00:00
And welcome to the program on your Friday afternoon. Started out chilly this morning, but warmed up kind of nice today. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend. I absolutely understand that. I got to start the show off today with a question for you. Do you guys know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health in Easley? I saw one report, just one little blip.
00:27
and then nothing else after that. if you know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. We would love to get the information out there. Again, I don't have a whole lot of information. At least I don't want to give the information that I have because I only got one source for that and I'm not real positive about the source. So if you guys know of anything that's going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. Well,
00:56
If you're planning on traveling this weekend, you definitely want to make sure that you leave for the airport very early. Much earlier than normal. Listen to this. In Houston, for example, officials at Hobby Airport are telling passengers to show up three to four hours before their flights just to make sure they get through TSA checkpoints on time.
01:24
I'm very empathetic to the people that are having to deal with the three, four, five hour lines because obviously it's spring break. My flight is at five o'clock and I'm here at what is it, 1.30? So I'm trying to not get stuck. I expected it in a third world country but here, how long does it take to resolve the issue with the government? It's not, to me, it's shocking.
01:46
And this morning DHS says more than 300 of its TSA workers have quit since February at the start of this partial government shutdown. CBS News reports absences have more than doubled and Denver Airport is even asking for donations of grocery store and gas gift cards for TSA workers who are now set to miss a full paycheck tomorrow. m
02:12
I mean, you know, part of me can't blame these folks. They're out there working. They're not getting paid. Why? Because Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have kept that section of the government shut down with the help of John Thune. And the reason that I say with the help of John Thune is because the Democrats have the power to shut down the government and John Thune continues to give them
02:42
the power to shut down the government. All John Thune has got to do is do away with the filibuster. Bada boom, bada bing, everything is funded. But this just isn't in places like Houston or Denver. The Greenville Spartanburg Airport District is launching a food and personal essentials drive today to support federal employees.
03:08
The effort is designed to assist transportation security administration agents and Customs and Border Protection officers impacted by the ongoing partial government shutdown. This is from Nicolette Miller. The drive seeks donations of self-stable food, household goods, and personal items for federal officers and their families. The airport district previously organized a similar support effort during a federal government shutdown in October of 2025.
03:37
Donations can be dropped off daily between 7 and 7. The airport district has established two collection points for the public, the information center inside the terminal and the valet parking kiosk. The district will organize and distribute all collected items through a pop-up pantry. Airport leadership highlighted the necessity of these federal roles in maintaining regional travel. And this will keep going on until this shutdown.
04:07
is stopped.
04:10
Now my question is, when's it going to stop? When is it going to stop? Because remember, not only is TSA down, but also DHS is down, Department of Homeland Security. Also FEMA is down. Also the Coast Guard is down. They're not getting, none of those people are getting paid right now.
04:34
because the Democrats are having a hissy fit over ICE. Now, what is up and running? What is not being ...
00:00
terrorist acts. Representative Biggs, welcome to the program. Hey, it's great to talk to you. Thank you so much for having me. Yes, ma'am. Tell us about the bill. What all does it entail? Well, we are still finalizing the details, but the gist of the bill, it's going to strengthen penalties for individuals that are convicted of supporting any terrorist. And right now we're discussing looking at a 20 year mandatory minimum
00:29
Um, we want to make sure that it's strong and it's clear, and we want to make sure that courts are going to impose stiff penalties up to life in prison if necessary. And additionally to that, we're going to revoke citizenship of naturalized citizens. If they aid in any type of terrorism or provide, um, any support to those that are.
00:58
actually considered our enemies. Yeah. Now, would this include, because President Trump has put out a list of uh terrorist organizations that he has deemed to be terrorist organizations, and that would include the cartels, they would be included in this as well? Absolutely. As I said, we're still finalizing everything, but this is going to make a huge difference. people that were
01:26
impacted at Old Dominion University. This never would have happened had we not had this bill. If we had this bill in place, it would have never happened. And, you know, I was listening to what you were saying that under the Biden administration, oh he was released in 2024 for good conduct. Yeah. It just seems kind of ironic that it happened on Biden's watch and
01:55
It didn't happen afterwards when President Trump was in office and taking the lead. Now, I mean, when you see just how many terrorists were let into this country under the Biden administration, mean, you got to be able to point fingers in that direction, right? I just can't, I can't understand. This is so simple to me that we have to put America first and we have to put the safety of our citizens.
02:25
I can't understand why everyone can't grasp this. Even my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, this is simple. Yeah, even Gretchen Whitmer said today that this was hatred, was anti-Semitism. That happened in the synagogue in Michigan. But I mean, where's all this hate coming from? I mean, we've got mosques out there that are preaching this hate to their congregants. I don't even know if that's what you call them, but...
02:53
to the people attending their their mosque. mean, some has got to be done or these things are just going to keep on happening. I agree, and that's why my team has been working so hard so quickly. I know they were up late last night up early this morning communicating. We're trying to get this finalized to get it in place because I really do feel like this matters to everyone and it really matters to the people in the 3rd District of South Carolina. And I want to make sure that we do this.
03:23
and close any loopholes that could kind of ease in and impact our national security. I think where the Democrats, once they hear about this bill, are going to scream the loudest is going to be with the denaturalization clause. I think it should happen, absolutely. If we can naturalize somebody, we ought to be able to denaturalize them. What pushback are you guys uh expecting from the folks on the left?
03:50
You know, I'm accustomed to that in this last year. I've heard the most nonsense ever in my whole life. But naturalized citizenship, it's a privilege. It's not a right. And I think everyone should understand that. You have to abide by our rules and you have to prioritize. If you hate America, you shouldn't be here. And I think any individuals who support terrorists
04:20
organizations, they should face severe and lasting consequences under the federal law. mean, no ifs and buts about it. That's just the way it's got to be. America cannot be a safe haven for terrorists or anybody who supports them. You're absolutely right. You are. You recently an ...
00:00
surprised last night when we found out, first we knew that a guy named Muhammad Jallah, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone was responsible for that shooting in Old Dominion in Virginia yesterday.
00:19
mean, this guy was a former member of the military who was pleaded guilty to giving material support to ISIS. He even traveled overseas to try to join ISIS, pled guilty to that. And then the Biden administration let him go in 2024. He should have been gone. He should have been denaturalized and gone.
00:42
So last night, you know, later in the evening after the show last night, just kind of, let me just kind of keep in track on everything. Then comes the report that the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that the Michigan synagogue attacker was an immigrant from Lebanon, Eman Mohammed Ghazali. Gosh. Gosh, Abby Phillip. Remember when Abby Phillip said, what's that got to do with Islam? What's that got to do with Muslims? And?
01:12
There have been five terrorist attacks. And? What do mean and? This is big. But here we've got the left continuing for, there's probably several reasons behind this. Number one, the left hates America. The mainstream media hates America. Number two, they don't want to be seen as Islamophobic, right? So they just keep kissing the rear ends.
01:42
of the one radical ideology that we know is behind all of this. This is Jake Tapper. For seeing the real-life consequences to the elevation and platforming and legitimizing of anti-semitic voices, to be crystal clear, we do not know the motivations of the attacker, this would-be mass murderer of Jews. We don't know their political views. But the Overton window, the measure of acceptable discourse, has opened.
02:09
to some of the most hateful anti-semitic voices out there on the... Ah, that's interesting. The most hateful anti-semitic voice. God, Lee, just... There's something... Something here happened here recently. I just... I don't have any... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's right.
02:28
Do you remember after October the 7th, do you remember how our colleges and universities and these campuses were overrun with pro-Hamas demonstrators, pro-Palestine demonstrators, how everybody was marching around saying, from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free? They were all getting together, chasing Jews all around the campus.
02:55
What do you want to do? Let's chase a Jew. All right, let's go. Remember that? Jews had to barricade themselves into classrooms. Just keep from being lynched, literally lynched.
03:10
And you guys in the mainstream media will say, well, these are just peaceful protests. That's all this is. It's a peaceful protest. They're just exercising their First Amendment rights, a peaceful protest. uh
03:23
You guys supported that. You were A-OK with that. Oh, we have no... So an Islamic guy from Lebanon drives a truck into a synagogue.
03:38
hits a security officer, shots were fired, we don't know why the guy died, we don't know if he was shot by the security guard, we don't know if he shot himself, we don't know if he blew, uh he was injured in the explosion that happened, but apparently, and by the way, what happened to all of that? I'd love a little more information.
04:02
And you, Jake Tapper, the great journalist that you are, can't put two and two together? You can't do that? Of course you can. You just don't. So meanwhile, in Michigan, their wonderful, wonderful governor, the woman whose forehead hasn't moved since before COVID, Gretchen Whitmer, made this statement.
04:32
attack this community yesterday get fomented by rhetoric that they see online and that they see on television and they hear on the radio. It radicalizes people and it endangers our fellow Michiganders. We cannot let this continue. And so each of us has a duty to take action where and how we can. Ah, oh, so it was online. That's that's where
05:01
That's where they're getting all of the rhetoric. Right? was onli ...
00:00
And welcome to the program on your Friday afternoon. Started out chilly this morning, but warmed up kind of nice today. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend. I absolutely understand that. I got to start the show off today with a question for you. Do you guys know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health in Easley? I saw one report, just one little blip.
00:27
and then nothing else after that. if you know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. We would love to get the information out there. Again, I don't have a whole lot of information. At least I don't want to give the information that I have because I only got one source for that and I'm not real positive about the source. So if you guys know of anything that's going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. Well,
00:56
If you're planning on traveling this weekend, you definitely want to make sure that you leave for the airport very early. Much earlier than normal. Listen to this. In Houston, for example, officials at Hobby Airport are telling passengers to show up three to four hours before their flights just to make sure they get through TSA checkpoints on time.
01:24
I'm very empathetic to the people that are having to deal with the three, four, five hour lines because obviously it's spring break. My flight is at five o'clock and I'm here at what is it, 1.30? So I'm trying to not get stuck. I expected it in a third world country but here, how long does it take to resolve the issue with the government? It's not, to me, it's shocking.
01:46
And this morning DHS says more than 300 of its TSA workers have quit since February at the start of this partial government shutdown. CBS News reports absences have more than doubled and Denver Airport is even asking for donations of grocery store and gas gift cards for TSA workers who are now set to miss a full paycheck tomorrow.
02:12
I mean, you know, part of me can't blame these folks. They're out there working. They're not getting paid. Why? Because Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have kept that section of the government shut down with the help of John Thune. And the reason that I say with the help of John Thune is because the Democrats have the power to shut down the government and John Thune continues to give them
02:42
the power to shut down the government. All John Thune has got to do is do away with the filibuster. Bada boom, bada bing, everything is funded. But this just isn't in places like Houston or Denver.

04:34

The March 12th, 2026, episode of The Charlie James Show centers on breaking news of an active shooter at Old Dominion University and a vehicle attack on a Michigan synagogue, both of which are officially characterized as acts of terrorism committed by an ISIS sympathizer. The broadcast features guest Michael Letts discussing the need for security at houses of worship while James critiques the political left for allegedly "rooting against America" and prioritizing complaints over military perks—dubbed "Lobstergate"—rather than focusing on national security. Additional segments cover Congressman Jim Clyburn’s re-election announcement, the projected growth of the Muslim population in Europe by 2030, and a debate regarding the role of Christians in politics.
00:00
Well, it is official. The shooting at Old Dominion in Virginia was indeed terrorism. It was an act of terrorism. I can tell you that we have confirmed reports that prior to him conducting this act of terrorism, he shouted or stated al-Aqbar, and he was formally a uh subject of a FBI investigation in material supporting terrorism.
00:29
It was an act of terrorism.
00:37
Naturalize U.S. citizen.
00:41
From Sierra Leone, open fire at Old Dominion today, shooting two, what we believe are ROTC officers, killing one.
00:52
But even uh there, very close to there. Over in, hold on, where is this? um
01:04
in Detroit, Michigan. I want you to listen to what this one news anchor says. Here we go. Are you ready? This is about the shooting at Old Dominion. This is actually about um the attack on the synagogue in West Bloomfield Township in Michigan. What do you see? I mean, it's not just uh fear of Iran and what's happening. There's been a rise in white supremacy.
01:31
What? What? Where? Where's this happening? Where's this whole white supremacy happening? Just because you don't want terror, terrorists in your country, that doesn't mean you're a white supremacist. Oh, it's a rise in white supremacy. Wait a minute, hold on.
01:51
This is a guy that drove into a mosque full of white people.
01:58
Good grief. Well over at CNN.
02:04
They go out of their way not to use the word terrorist. What that means, Casey, is we have whipsawed in recent days from two weekends ago an attack in Austin, Texas against a nightlife district by an individual that has been determined to be uh very likely a terrorist attack connected to the beginning of the war in Iran. This past weekend outside the mayor's residence in New York City, an attack against an anti-Islamic demonstration.
02:33
by two individuals who threw powerful bombs into the street, which fortunately did not function, but were set to function and would have been deadly to this uh incident this morning in Old Dominion in Virginia, to this incident this afternoon uh at this largest synagogue in Michigan. And uh the pace of it uh should be somewhat concerning. uh I mean, I'm sure Frank would agree that we haven't seen a pace like this. uh
03:02
in recent memory. what they failed to mention was who was carrying this out. It's a simple term.
03:12
Two words, Islamic terrorism. Islamic terrorism, that's what it is. So now five incidents so far in just recent memory. How much more are we gonna tolerate? Let's go to Ken and Easley. Ken, welcome. Hey, Charlie. I have a question for you, what you were talking about just at the end of last hour there on John Foon. Yeah.
03:40
Now I'm a huge Donald Trump fan. I voted for, vote for him every day, every year for the rest of my life. I love him. um And I want to ask the only obstacle that I see to making America truly great again, just like you alluded to, it's not the Democrats. Our only obstacle is John Foon. He knows what needs to be done to pass the things that Donald Trump wants passed because we as the American people voted for Donald Trump.
04:09
overwhelmingly. So my question to you is, is there anything that could be done to remove John Foone as the head of the Senate? What it would take, it would take five senators to file a resolution to vacate the seat in the Senate and elect a new Senate majority leader, and that's going to have to be voted on by the entire House, and I certainly don't think they have the votes for that.
04:38
But they're too afraid of this man to do it, for some reason, whatever reason it is. They're terrified of John Thune and the power that he has. I just don't understand it. I don't understand it. I wish somebody would step up and do something to put some pressure on this guy. Yeah, I do too. I appreciate it, Ken. Thank you. In fact, a reporter asked John Thune today about the SaveHide. He said, you know, she said,
05:08
Now, 85 % of the American people want And he ...
00:01
All right, the Senate has a block to build to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. It failed 5146. John Fetterman voted with the Republicans. The Democrats and John Thune have betrayed America again. TSA also being withheld, their pay is being withheld. Hundreds of no shows going on at airports. People are just quitting going, you know what?
00:30
I don't want to be subjected to all of this, so I'm not working for TSA anymore.
00:35
But you gotta go back and look at the Senate majority leader and that's John Thune. Nuke the filibuster.
00:43
Stop letting Chuck Schumer hold us hostage like he's been doing. ultimately, but even again, I'm not even going to blame Chuck Schumer. I'm going to drop it right square in the lap of John Thune. You're the guy that's doing this. If you've got the power, see, that's the thing about the Republicans. I'll never understand this. When the Democrats have power, they use it.
01:13
Even when they don't have power, they act like they have power and the Republicans run scared from them. When the Republicans have the power, they never use it.
01:28
ever. I swear to you, I remember doing a debate, I think it was the third congressional district.
01:40
and it was for the congressman slot over there. And I think we had five candidates on stage.
01:49
five candidates, there were six running, five were at the debate. And I asked the candidates, I said,
01:57
Would you be willing to use the power of the purse
02:05
to stop Joe Biden's agenda.
02:13
All but one of them said yes, said no. All but one of them said no. Mark Burns said yes. Everybody else said no. Well, why not? That's the power that you have. And every single and everybody, they always say, oh, we're gonna use the power of the purse to stop this and we're gonna use the power of the purse. And they never did it. They never ever did it.
02:36
Republicans are, you know what they're like? They're like the Great Dane that's scared of the Chihuahua because the Chihuahua is so loud. That's exactly what they are. They're scared to death. These people let the Democrats tell them how high to jump.
02:58
So again, terror attacks all over the place, Texas, New York, Michigan, Virginia.
03:09
Department of Homeland Security is still not funded. That's on you, John Thune. From now on, that's on you. We know how the Democrats... You see, that's... I always say this. A friend can do to you something that an enemy can never do to you.
03:26
And that's betray you.
03:31
And John Thune is betraying America. He's betraying this president. He's betraying the people of his state. And he's betraying America. Period. We know how the Democrats are going to be. We know they're nutty as a fruitcake. And I hate to say that because I love fruitcake.
03:52
And you'll be wondering, and I think Whoopi Goldberg might be the nuttiest. Listen to what she was saying today over on The View. So given the messaging, does anyone know what they're doing? Do we know anything other than we are bombing Iran? What's happening with all the other countries that we're in? Has anybody explained why we were?
04:18
dropping bombs in the scene because we were looking for drugs. I mean, what is happening? Notice how she says it. You will notice whose side they're on by the way they say it. She didn't say we were bombing Iran. It's Iran. Iran. You got to roll that R. Iran.
04:43
bombing Iran.
04:47
We'll be. I know.
04:53
that in the old military that we used to have where we had men running around in skirts, that they told you everything, that they would divulge all of their plans, they'd tell you everything that's going on, all of that stuff. But when you're in a big boy army, a big boy military, you don't do that.
05:20
We had one of our bases that were bombed. They'd killed several of our service members, and that was a horrible situation. But now they're reporting, they're like, oh, it was much worse than we thought. Why weren't they honest wi ...
00:00
Well, it is official. The shooting at Old Dominion in Virginia was indeed terrorism. It was an act of terrorism. I can tell you that we have confirmed reports that prior to him conducting this act of terrorism, he shouted or stated al-Aqbar, and he was formally a uh subject of a FBI investigation in material supporting terrorism.

He said, you know, she said,
05:08
Now, 85 % of the American people want And he ...
00:00
And welcome back to the program. Well, the Old Dominion shooter, which, by the way, there's now one fatality in that shooting at Old Dominion uh in Virginia, Muslim. The attacker of the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township in Michigan, uh assumed to be Muslim because the truck was registered to a naturalized citizen from Lebanon. And Ilhan Omar has now made a comment about this.
00:29
is that some people did something. OK. All right. Well, there you go. Some people. Oh, I didn't. I thought it might have been more important than that. Some people did something today. Some people did something. Some people did several things today. Want you to listen to this from la la la la from Fox News. Here we go. Now from Bill Mollugin, the following reporter.
00:57
uh... senior law federal law enforcement confirms are reporting that the uh... the suspect is dead uh... additionally told the suspect body is badly burned he was killed by armed security bill is told that he ran the card of the building had a rifle got into a shootout with security who killed him the car was on fire inside and that would obviously be the source of the smoke coming out of that building uh... so it would appear now that uh... the immediate threat
01:26
to the synagogue is over, now we're dealing with the. All right, so, but again, we are now hearing that the vehicle that rammed into that Michigan synagogue was registered to a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon living in Dearborn, Michigan. Now, Dearborn, wait a minute, hold on.
01:50
Dearborn,
01:54
What do they do every morning in Dearborn, Michigan? They do something very, very special. Oh, that's right. They have the call to prayer every single morning.
02:18
Five times a day, because you see Dearborn, Michigan is one of the most heavily Muslim populated areas of the country.
02:30
Now, the Muslims in Dearborn are very upset, uh were upset with the church bells going off. um So they got rid of the church bells and they replaced them with the call to prayer. Yeah, they did that. So I'm telling you, listen, I don't know.
02:54
But if I were to just actually think about it for just a minute.
03:01
I would think that some of these cells have been activated, wouldn't you? I mean, that, considering we just had a Muslim attack in New York, guy shows up, shoots a bunch of people, wearing a property of Allah hoodie with an Afghan flag T-shirt underneath. Then you got the two individuals that were arrested in New York after a bomb was thrown into a crowd of anti-Islam protesters.
03:29
that swore their allegiance to ISIS. You got a shooting this morning at Old Dominion by a guy who was arrested, I believe back in 2014, for sharing secrets with ISIS. He was in the military. And now you got this vehicle registered to a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon. If I were into conspiracy theories, I might think that
03:59
that something has happened over the past few hours, or days actually.
04:12
So now let's listen. We gotta go back to Abby Phillips. Oh, we gotta go back to Abby Phillips. Because she is like the absolute worst. The worst. So she was asking, going a little bit of back and forth.
04:35
And they were talking about the terror attacks that happened. listen to what Abby Phillips said. Listen, this is amazing. Here we go. So I can't speak for Mike Johnson, but I would say we've had two terrorist attacks here in the last 10 days. Did you hear that? Did you hear what Abby Phillips said? And? And? And what? What? OK.
05:02
All right, well, here we go. Continue. So can we condemn those? Why are we... Of course. What does that have to do with Muslims? What does that have to do with Muslims? So we've had two terrorist attacks. And what does that have to do with Muslims?
05:20
Me? I think it's got a lot to do with
05:24
Right? So now they got a brand new Supreme Leader over in Iran. And this guy started off his job, he's even alive. uh Listen to this. um This is ...
00:02
The left is rooting against America. And that's their, oh my gosh, they're not even hiding that fact anymore. And that is a fact. They're not even hiding it anymore. Once it is Scott Jennings over on CNN, listen to this. I don't understand your vibe. We're at war with people who have been at war with the Western civilization for 47 years. And you appear to me to be, you know, sort of cheering against American success. I hate to break it to you, but for 47 years.
00:31
They have killed American troops, maimed American personnel, waged war on the civilized world. They have missiles, they have drones, and they told our own negotiators they have a material for 11 nuclear bombs. Does this not seem imminent to you? This is a false choice, Scott. push. You can be against Iran, all the terrorism they support. You can be against Maduro and toppling them. You just don't want to do anything about it. Let me finish. me finish. That, you know who that is? Do you know who that guy is that's talking on CNN right now?
01:02
That is former South Carolina congressman from the first congressional district, Joe Cunningham. That's Joe Cunningham.
01:13
Yeah, that's the guy that beat Katie Arrington with the help of Mark Sanford, by the way, with a lot of help from Mark Sanford to win the first congressional district. Thankfully, he was only a one term congressman. Ooh, thankfully. But they are, they're rooting against America right now. Everybody over on the left. Oh, no, let me explain myself. You got nothing to explain because now I want you to take you over to MSNBC.
01:42
because we just had a former national guardsman show up at Old Dominion, shoot three people, killed one.
01:51
We find out that this guy, his name was uh Muhammad Jallow.
02:00
former Army National Guardsmen arrested in 2016 for providing material support to ISIS. A naturalized US citizen from Sierra Leone traveled overseas multiple times attempting to join ISIS. He was convicted in federal court and released from federal prison in 2024. Guy should have been in Guantanamo Bay. He should have been denaturalized. Then we got the vehicle that was
02:31
the Temple Israel Synagogue that's registered to a naturalized citizen from Lebanon.
02:44
But you know whose fault it is? Do you know whose fault it is? It's Donald Trump's fault. ...between Muslims in the West, Muslims and the people of the Jewish faith, in large part because of what's happening in Iran. And you have to wonder about the connectedness. You have to wonder about the ways in which this environment further radicalizes people. And you have to wonder fundamentally about the degree to which this White House, which has been caught completely flat-footed on a war of choice...
03:11
really has the personnel in place and actually the interest in keeping Americans safe. Because thus far, the data that we've been given, whether it's the Pentagon downplaying the brutality of the attack that killed the six American service members in Kuwait, whether it is the president wearing a baseball cap to a dignified transfer, whether it is the way in which he talks about the collateral damage of war, doesn't give you a sense that the safety and the security of the American people is paramount.
03:40
It's Donald Trump's fault. When that guy showed up at Old Dominion this morning armed, that was Donald Trump's fault. When that vehicle rammed Temple Israel, that was Donald Trump's fault. When those Muslims that vowed allegiance to ISIS threw a bomb in the streets of New York, that's Donald Trump's fault. When that guy showed up in New York wearing a ah
04:09
property of Allah T-shirt or hoodie and killed multiple people. That's Donald Trump's fault. It's all Donald Trump's fault. Let's go to Gene in Greenville and talk to him. Gene, what do you think about this? Well, so much to say, Charlie. It's incredible. But I want to go back to the year 2016, the Democrat National Convention. I don't know if you paid ...
