Charlie breaks down the troubling implications of South Carolina's SB 244, a tort reform bill that could allow corporations to evade accountability in cases of human trafficking. Laura Loomer, a journalist and activist, exposes a major loophole in the bill she calls the "Jeffrey Epstein loophole," which would permit businesses like hotels to shift blame for human trafficking onto traffickers who aren't even in court. This would enable companies to walk away from liability, even if they facilitated abuse. Charlie calls out Senator Shane Massey for sponsoring the bill, arguing it prioritizes corporate interests over justice and protections for victims of trafficking. | https://www.audacy.com/989word | The Charlie James Show | Listen on Spotify : https://spoti.fi/3MXOvGP | Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-charlie-james-show-podcast/id1547262821 | Join our Live Stream Weekdays - 3pm to 7pm | Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/989word, Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2031096, X: https://twitter.com/989word, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/989word/ | Red Meat, Greenville." 03/04/25

Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson are paying close attention, to an issue that host Lisa Rayam asks, is the average Georgian aware of?

This week the Political Breakfast team talks tort reform, and how Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is making this a top priority during the 2025 legislative session. That starts in just a few weeks after the new year. Kemp has been bringing it up at gatherings like the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's Congressional Luncheon for years. He told lawmakers in 2023 that the laws on our books make it "too easy to bring frivolous lawsuits against Georgia business owners" which eventually drives-up the price of insurance and stops "new, good-paying jobs from ever coming to communities that need them the most." Kemp brought it up again recently to state lawmakers. Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and host Lisa Rayam weigh-in on how this affects average Georgians and small-business owners, not just large corporations and insurance companies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt McLelland, VP of Sustainability and Innovation, Covenant joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss why certain trucking companies aversion to risk could slow down innovation and have negative economic consequences on their businesses if they delay the rollout of autonomous trucks.This is a thought-provoking, unstructured yet insightful conversation about the complex relationship between risk aversion and the development of autonomous vehicles and autonomous trucks. During the conversation, Grayson and Matt explore how society's growing fear of risk is stifling progress in the autonomous trucking industry, drawing parallels to historical examples of transformative innovations such as the space program and the development of the airplane that may have never come to fruition in today's risk-averse climate.Throughout the discussion, Grayson and Matt grapple with the multifaceted nature of risk perception, from individual responsibilities to the role of tort law and media sensationalism.

Matt shares his firsthand experience with these challenges at Covenant Logistics, highlighting the need for tort reform and a shift in public perception.Despite the obstacles, both Matt and Grayson remain optimistic about the future of autonomous vehicles and trucks. They emphasize the importance of personal responsibility, education, and a willingness to embrace calculated risks in order to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation.
