BUD'S BLOG, MONDAY, AUGUST 22nd 2022
On this primary election eve, we'll analyze the key races locally, statewide and nationally, and tell you about our Tuesday night election here on Newsradio WFLA Orlando !
Governor Ron DeSantis is starting to take more and more heat over campaigning on behalf of Trump-endorsed candidates who agree with the former President's claim that the 2020 presidential election
was stolen from him. I "Luv the Guv" but will explain why I'm concerned that DeSantis may be putting his own political fortunes at risk by backing these so-called election deniers. Our GMO team will debate
this and as always we invite you to join in by calling 407 916 5400, texting us at 23680, or using our exciting new Talkback feature!
We'll update Friday's story about Governor DeSantis announcing the arrest of 20 Floridians on charges of voter fraud, including three in Orange County. Those three are claiming people in the know told they were eligible to vote, so they shouldn't be penalized. Should they get off the hook or not? Let's talk about it!
Monday marks the start of defense arguments that will lead to a decision on whether or not Nikolas Cruz lives or dies for murdering 17 people in Florida's Parkland school massacre more than four years ago.
Frankly, it infuriates me that these proceedings are being dragged out like they are, especially because Cruz has admitted his guilt and there is no question he's responsible. Let me take you on a quick trip to
"Budtopia" where everything's the way I want it to be, and Cruz is already on death row and being readied for execution! There just has to be a better way than how we handle death penalty cases like this one!
Whether you love Donald Trump or loathe him, you have to admit he's a tough adversary and a relentless counter puncher. The Department of Justice and the FBI are clearly out to get him with the recent
raid on his private residence, Mar-A-Lago. Now, as I'll explain, Trump is promising to mount a challenge to the government's raid, claiming what they did was an unconstitutional search and seizure that violated
his rights under the 4th Amendment!
It's Open Mind Monday on Good Morning Orlando. Call, text or record a Talkback and let us know what's on your mind. We promise to listen and keep and open mind to whatever you have to say!
