    H2-Seg3-TCJS- Tues1/13/26- Interview with Former SC Rep Johnathan Hill about SC BAD BILLS list 00:00 Well, can you believe it? The South Carolina State Legislature is back in session and we've already got some bad bills. If you want to keep up with the bad bills that are going on in Columbia, I highly recommend you subscribe to State Representative Jonathan Hill's bad bill sheet. He joins us right now. Jonathan, welcome to the program. Hope you're doing well. Happy New Year. Thank you, Charlie. Appreciate you having me on. 00:23 Already bad bills. I'm going to start off with one that is kind of weird with me. This whole thing about casino gambling here in South Carolina, whenever we see casino gambling, a lot of other bad things come along with it, doesn't Yeah, I think that's pretty clear to everybody. You can just look and see what's happened in other states. I will say that it's truly a South Carolina way to do it to say we're going to have casinos 00:52 and we're going to create a brand new government agency to decide which casinos get to be here and basically create a total state-run monopoly around that. mean, whether you're coming at this from a social perspective that we shouldn't have casino gambling at all, or whether you're coming at it from a free market perspective of the government shouldn't decide which companies get to come here, the bill is just horrible either way you look at it. 01:18 So this new gambling commission, who would that be comprised by? uh Well, the details are in the bill. And like I said, you know, it's not necessarily a done deal by any stretch. I mean, in many cases, let's see, uh like so many boards and commissions that govern different things, it's a hybrid thing between the 01:47 Right, the governor and legislators would make the appointment. Okay. Yeah, like so many other things. that's a system that has proved its failures over and over again in South Carolina. It really does. Tell us about the uh privilege tax of 15%. The privilege tax? uh you know, that's, what would the justification be for that? that 02:14 Yeah, mean, it puts a 15 % on gross gaming revenue. We're talking about potentially a lot of money here. Where would that money go? Well, the current amendment to the bill seems to be earmarking that for at least a portion of that fund to the counties that presumably would be affected by the locations of these casinos. 02:40 um Arguably, that funding would go towards infrastructure and emergency services and law enforcement and healthcare and whatever else. Yeah. All the usual suspects, right? Right. In your list of the bad bills, one says the income tax hike disguised as a tax cut. How does that work? Yeah. If you're going to cut the income tax, what we would expect is to see the percentage of income tax 03:09 decrease over time or all at once like we could just zero it out today and we'd be fine. uh But that's not what they did. They totally reinvented the income tax structure so that some people are going to pay more and some people are going to pay less. And from the state's perspective, overall, it's going to be less income tax revenue coming in. That is a bizarre way to do it. And it's definitely a proposal that a policy proposal that comes from 03:39 you know, those in the ivory tower of the Capitol, uh you know, not looking at this thing from the taxpayer perspective. I mean, they tried to pass a so-called tax cut that would actually raise taxes on 60 % of South Carolinians. Why can't they get this figured out? Well, it's a great question. I mean, I've always said, Charlie, that, uh you know, tyrants are never willingly going to give up one iota uh or even one penny. 04:07 of your money or control over your life, has to be forcibly taken from them by we the people. They're never going to give up money willingly. And so, you know, it seems to me like uh that that's an element at play here. ah You know, in all seriousness, if they if ...

    H2-Seg2-TCJS- Tues1/13/26- Interview with Sc Rep Sarita Edgerton about Bill 3310
    Jan 13 2026
    H2-Seg2-TCJS- Tues1/13/26- Interview with Sc Rep Sarita Edgerton about Bill 3310 00:00 All right, let's go to the WRD talk line. We've got Mark in Pickens. I want to go to him. He's got a response to Drew McKissick. If I can push that button. There you go, Mark. Welcome. Hello, Charlie. Hello, Mark. Can you hear me? I can. Yes, sir. What's on your mind? OK, I'm sorry. I want to ask you a question. Now, if you were a, let's say a seasoned lawyer that run for office, which most of the politicians in Colombia are. Yeah. 00:29 Would you say that you weren't aware when he said that maybe they didn't know that these primaries were causing the things that they're causing? They know. How in the world? They know. Exactly. know. Anybody that's been there for any length of time, they know. They know about that. Exactly right. So yeah. to say that, and he's the head of GOP in South Carolina or the bring home of the GOP? 00:56 You would have to have just fallen off the turnip truck and landed in the South Carolina State Legislature to not know that closing the primaries would be beneficial. You're exactly right about that, Mark. Let's go to Serita, Representative Serita Edgerton. Serita, welcome to the program. So Drew was talking about House Bill 3643, but there's another bill out there that might be a little stronger. Yes, sir. 3643, while it does move the ball to the next 01:26 first down line to use a football analogy. This one actually kicks it into throws it into the end zone for a touchdown. Um, so I call it a jar primaries 36 43. It just keeps the door open a little bit. Um, but 33 10 actually closes the primaries, um, and, and keep make sure that the independence just can't go and you can register as an independent and vote wherever you want to. 01:55 It really nails down what you have to do as an independent if you want to vote in a primary. Now that's going to get a lot of pushback from the ACLU, but that's going to happen anyway, so we don't need to worry about that. How does 3310 actually address the quote unquote unaffiliated voter? 02:15 Well, I have to get that for sure. I think they have to register. If they're independent, they can't vote in either of the Republican or Democrat primary. They can vote in the November election, but they cannot vote in a primary. OK, now the way I think the bill reads is you can vote if you're an independent, you can vote in the Democrat primary if the Democrat primary allows independent voters to vote in it. That's correct. I believe that's right. Yeah. Or if the Republican primary 02:45 If the Republican Party decided to allow independent voters to vote in that primary, they would also be able to do that. So it does close it up just a little bit. And like Drew was telling us, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, go ahead. Drew was telling us what? That, and you mentioned this as well in a text, that this hearing has actually been moved. Any idea why? The reason given from the House floor by Chairman Jordan was that they had received such 03:14 feedback on it that they needed to go back and relook at some of the bills that were in there and take a little bit more time to think about them. So your calls are working people your calls are where I was about to say I'm going to take that as a good thing. do and another thing that has 3643 which is a little concerning is the 2 out of 3 voting in 2 out 3 South Carolina primary right. That could cut off. 03:43 people in the military who moved to our state and have voted in a Republican primary elsewhere. ah they wanted to run for office and they're an upstanding citizen, but they've only voted in one out of, only voted in the last one. So ah maybe, you know, that would cut some of those veterans out from running for office until they have to be in the state for so many years to vote in uh so many primaries in a row. 04:12 Yeah, I heard and I don't know who filed it. It was just kind of in passing that somebody was looking at a bill ...
