On the Wednesday, September 23, 2026 broadcast of The Charlie James Show (Hour 1) on NewsTalk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James opens by calling out Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's appearance at the United Nations General Assembly. James expresses outrage at Pezeshkian's portrayal of Iran as a victim despite the regime's human rights violations and state-sponsored terrorism, highlighting the walkout by the U.S. delegation and protesting crowds outside the UN building. The conversation transitions to clips of Marco Rubio detailing Iranian aggression and President Donald Trump's "Operation Economic Outcast" aimed at crippling Iran’s economy and nuclear ambitions.
Later in the hour, James turns his attention to the domestic political landscape, humorously speculating on the "shallow bench" of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates, including Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg, while playing clips of Harris speaking at campaign events. Finally, the show tackles local South Carolina politics, addressing online rumors of a write-in campaign for Ralph Norman against Senate candidate Darlene Graham and Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews, warning conservative listeners about the political risks of splitting the vote.
