Right at the top of the show let's talk about the new low in Florida politics...maybe the all-time lowest of the low. And if you know the history of Florida politics, you know that's really saying something! Our Governor, Republican Ron DeSantis, has just been compared to the most evil person in modern history, Adolph Hitler !! As you will hear, this outrageous comparison has been made by Democrat Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, one of DeSantis' opponents in his bid for a second term. Why would she compare our highly effective and likeable governor to Hitler, and what, if anything ought to be done about it? I have some thoughts on that, and I'm sure you do, too, so let's talk about this before we talk about anything else Monday morning!

Former President Trump held a big rally Saturday out in Arizona. We'll hear when he had to say about the disastrous Biden Administration, the 2022 midterm election and his bold predictions for 2024, when millions of Trump's supporters hope he'll run for President again. Trump's comments about that got me to thinking about what would be the strongest presidential ticket the Republicans could field in 2024? Would it include Trump, or not? Be ready to weigh in on that and let us know what you think!

How would you feel about putting cameras and microphones in Florida public school classrooms? That controversial idea is being proposed by a member of the Florida legislature and we'll tell you why. Then I'll tell you why I think this is a bad idea on a number of fronts. Our team will debate the issue and we'll want to know where you stand on forcing our teachers to be wired for for video and sound.
