Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Host Charlie James starts the segment defending Taco Bell from critics, praising its menu items despite a recent shredded iceberg lettuce recall tied to a multi-state Cyclospora outbreak. The conversation quickly pivots to local politics as James and a caller named Jason express anger over Representative Davy Hiott killing a popular, bipartisan bill aimed at making Ivermectin available over the counter in South Carolina. James alleges a major conflict of interest, noting that Hiott's son works as a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry (PHRMA). The segment concludes with James lamenting how special interests and corporate lobbying continually dictate legislative outcomes in Columbia.
