So much for Disneyworld being the happiest and most magical place on Earth! There appears to be more unrest and ill feeling than I can ever remember at the "Mouse House" right now...all stemming from the big flap over the recently passed Florida Parental Rights in Education bill, unfairly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by gay activists on the Disney staff and elsewhere. Embattled Disney CEO Bob Chapek held a virtual townhall Monday, in part to try and head off Tuesday's planned protest and day long walkout by Disney employees. We're following all the developments and we'll be talking about it with you!

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first black woman ever nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court just got an earful Monday from Republican Senator Josh Hawley...and the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings have barely begun! Wait until you hear Hawley run through a laundry list of Jackson's decisions that show her to be soft on crime, especially when it comes to justice for sex offenders. Hawley let judge Jackson and everyone else know exactly what's coming when he questions her at length starting Tuesday. If Hawley follows through, Jackson's in for a rough ride, and will have plenty of explaining to do!

What's the latest on the war in Ukraine? We'll find out together as Newsradio WFLA national correspondent joins us live with all the news from the war zone.
Join us as I go to bat for the Florida State Health Director for Orange County, Dr. Raul Pino. He was suspended in January for e-mails he wrote to his staff expressing his frustration and anger at the high number of health department workers who were not vaccinated against COVID-19. Now, Dr. Pino's being allowed to return to work....but he has to have his e-mails reviewed before he sends them out...and he has to undergo sensitivity training. Gimme a break! Dr. Pino doesn't deserve to be treated like this! He never forced anyone to get vaccinated, so he's not guilty of ordering an illegal mandate. All he did was let Orange County health department workers know that he's not happy with them for failing to get the shots, when he was fronting weekly press conferences week after week at which he was encouraging the public to get protected against the coronavirus. Am I the only one who has a problem with how Dr. Pino's being treated?! I sure hope not, but we'll find out during this segment of Tuesday's show, and I hope you'll weigh in and let us know where you stand!
