BUD'S BLOG, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH 2022

And, at 7:12 we'll be joined live by the first woman ever given the honor of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown

Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Chelsea Porterfield is a great patriot with a remarkable story to tell! 

We'll also continue a long standing Veterans Day tradition by playing a couple of patriotic pieces I recorded years ago. 

At 6:52 and 8:42 you'll hear "What Is A Veteran?". And, at 7:22, you'll hear my narration of "Freedom Isn't Free".

In the wake of the midterm elections that produced an enormous red wave in Florida powered by Governor DeSantis' landslide reelection victory, but failed to produce more than a red ripple nationally, we have this One Word Texting Poll to discuss with you:

WHO DO YOU NOW THINK GIVES REPUBLICANS THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2024, DONALD TRUMP OR RON DESANTIS?

TEXT "DON" OR TEXT "RON" TO 23680. (REPEAT)

Why are we suddenly seeing these heartbreaking scenes of homes falling into the sea in Volusia County, and some high rise condos and hotels being evacuated because beach erosion has left them dangerously close to the land's edge? I have some thoughts on that, and what the one-two punch of Ian and Nicole had in common that set the stage for a coastal disaster the likes of which we've never seen before!

We'll tell you about the new study that finds money CAN buy happiness, up to a point..and that point is an income of $123,000 dollars a year...or less ! Do you agree...or not? Let's talk!

On this Veterans Day, Alan and I are privileged to welcome Chelsea Porterfield to our show. She serves in the military and is the first woman ever chosen to stand guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery!

We'll crack open the Florida File and talk about 3 very interesting entries:

All the school board candidates Governor DeSantis endorsed wound up winning their races this week!

*The liberal Sun-Sentinel newspaper that serves south Florida referred to the big red wave that swept Republicans into office in the midterms as the 

"Crimson Hellscape", and then quietly took it back!

And despite ugly protests from the liberal students and faculty at the University of Florida, the Gators now have a new President, the conservative Senator from Nebraska, Ben Sasse!
