In this hour of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James takes calls from listeners addressing economic topics, including inflation, government intervention, personal fiscal responsibility, and housing affordability. Callers reflect on past military service, the impacts of government overregulation, and the importance of self-reliance.

Charlie highlights the catastrophic flooding and damage across Western North Carolina and surrounding states, praising the grassroots effort of first responders and ordinary citizens who provided immediate aid. He criticizes official disaster relief agencies for relying on digital apps and websites during power outages, emphasizing the vital role that local emergency radio broadcasts play during critical infrastructure failures.
