The DeSantis order ending all COVID restrictions and reaction to it...from local officials....our GMO team...and our listeners. I think this is not without risk, but that after more than a year of living with pandemic, the vaccines have made it possible for us to resume normal lives and people should have the freedom to do so.
A couple of good talk angles on this bold move by DeSantis:
*If he's a small government conservative Republican, isn't there some irony to using the heavy hand of big state government to force local governments and local people to do...not what they necessarily want to do...but what the Governor wants them to do?
*Under the DeSantis order, businesses can still do what they want in terms of restrictions. At first glance, you might think businesses lifting mask and social distancing requirements would attract more customers, but maybe they'll lose customers...especially the unvaccinated, who will no longer feel safe coming in.

*We now know why some SNL cast members don't want Elon Musk hosting the show this Saturday night-they're uncomfortable with him being so rich! Only a bunch of left wing commie/socialists could feel that way. Whaddaya think?

*Disneyland taking heat for the new Snow White ride that ends with the Prince planting a kiss on Snow White while she's unconscious under an evil spell. The woke wackos have a problem with the messaging....that it's okay to kiss someone without their consent! Arghhhhh!

We're going to leap ahead of the headlines and discuss Charlie Crist's big announcement coming later Tuesday that he's running (again) for Florida Governor. We'll discuss how strong a threat he might be to DeSantis' re-election and I'll make the case that Val Demings would be much harder to beat than Crist. She's an excellent speaker who will appeal to Democrat voters and get some cross over votes as a woman, as a black woman...and as a former police chief here in Orlando, she will neutralize Republican claims that all Democrats are anti-cop. She'll also have strong appeal in the critical I-4 corridor. If you think a black person's not electable statewide....remember, Andrew Gillum came within a whisker of beating DeSantis. Then...there's totally annoying Nikki Fried, also itching to run for Governor. Yuck! Melissa Foxx says look out for Stephanie Murphy!
