It's our red wave politics segment! You'll hear what Governor DeSantis is saying about all the 2024 presidential talk swirling around him, and the reaction to Trump's announcement that he's running for President. Also, a key Democrat swept out of office in the Florida big red wave blames demoralized party leaders and voters! In addition, we'll have the latest on control of the House of Representatives and Rick Scott's embarrassing loss in his bid to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate Minority Leader.
We'll talk about the $12 billion dollar crypto currency meltdown as the FTX crypto currency exchange implodes! Criminal charges are in the works, and efforts are underway to extradite the FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried who's hanging out in the Bahamas. By the way, he happens to be the second biggest donor to Democrat candidates, behind only the infamous George Soros!
Among the many questions raised by this monumental fiasco is whether big stars like Tom Brady should be held liable because their commercials promoting FTX drew in investors and set them up for huge losses. Let's talk about that!

I'll tell you about the 12 year old Florida girl who has just been arrested and charged with posting a written message online threatening to shoot up her school. Florida has zero tolerance laws against these sort of threats and the penalty calls for years in prison! But the girl's only 12. Are we really going to throw her in the slammer and leave her there until she's well into her 20's? What needs to happen here, and how does a 12 year old girl come to believe she has a reason to commit mass murder?!
