On September 11, 2026, host Charlie James opens his show reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, recalling his personal experience broadcasting in Columbia, South Carolina, as the tragedy unfolded. Throughout the hour, he reflects on the tragedy's lasting national impact and criticizes modern political figures—specifically Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani—alleging disrespect during anniversary memorial events. Callers join the program to share personal memories, discuss the long-term health consequences suffered by Ground Zero first responders, and debate the cultural and political shifts in the United States over the quarter-century following the attack.
