What this episode covers

00:00 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:27 For spacious skies, for amber waves of... 00:37 For purple mountain majesties 00:59 share his grace on thee and come 01:09 you 01:12 from sea to shining sea. America is back. Yes, sir, and we are back. Well, something happened in the state house yesterday. It was almost inexplicable. Nobody really understood it because we had this bill that passed the state house, both houses, house and the Senate. 01:42 So all it needed was one more vote in the House and it goes to the governor's desk. All of a sudden, all of a sudden, they vote to send this bill down. What this bill would have done, made Ivermectin over the counter here in South Carolina. So all of a sudden, Davey Hyatt joins with the Democrats to send this bill back to committee where it is going to die. 02:10 Let's get little inside baseball on this with State Representative Sarita Edgerton. Sarita, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well. I am, Charlie. Happy weekend almost. Yes, almost. Did this just boggle your mind when this happened? Yes, we were all sitting there and I had heard maybe 25 02:39 Yeah, um the freedom caucus, uh for campaigning against their incumbents with bad voting records, um donating to those campaigns. Um, and that it was the angriest i'd ever seen them in the caucus meeting. mean like vicious You could feel so, you know Satan working overtime in there. That's what that was not my word. Yeah and um 03:04 So we kind of got wind of it and I started spread. We started talking with amongst ourselves and I told you, I said, I think they're going to kill your bill. And he said, what? And he got up to speak at the well when they, cause we had to do all these vetoes first, all these conference committees and see, so the Senate, Shane Martin worked hard to get this bill through the Senate. We're going to kill it in the Senate and he worked so hard. is not real happy right now. 03:30 Um, but well, I'm not going to speak for shame, but he did not seem happy. The last time I spoke, uh, with him by message, but, um, so it would come back, we would vote on the Senate amendments and if we didn't concur, then it would go to conference committee, like any other bill. That means three members of the house, three members of the Senate would get together and they would come up with an agreement. that conference committee would come back when we go back for the budget in another week and a half. And it took, cause we still haven't approved the budget in South Carolina. 04:00 Um, and so that's the normal process, as Jay Kilmartin, representatives Kilmartin from Lexington got up to speak at the well about this bill that passed 100 to nine last time in the house. So virtually unanimous. mean, we're, we're, close to unanimous there. Um, J.D.

We're talking about medical human-grade ivermectin. about the human-grade, FDA-approved ivermectin. Right. 04:59 And, um, so we're all sitting there. I mean, I've never heard the amount of talking, like behind the scenes, like almost yelling at him and he just stands there just still, like, he won't turn his head and look at anybody.
