The second hour of The Charlie James Show focused on the economic and geopolitical fallout of rising oil and gas prices, linking the surge to current foreign policy and the "America First" conservative movement. Charlie contrasted Donald Trump’s aggressive stance on Iran and domestic energy production with current costs, fueling a discussion on the whisper campaign targeting U.S. Senate candidate Mark Lynch. After taking caller feedback on the global energy crisis, the hour concluded with a call to action regarding state legislation, specifically urging listeners to contact their representatives to vote "no" on bills H.3831 and H.5071, which critics argue would negatively impact South Carolina taxpayers and infrastructure.
