What is justice for disgraced former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg? That's the question we'll be debating as Greenberg prepares to be sentenced Thursday morning for multiple crimes he's confessed to, including sex trafficking of a minor, bribery and stalking. Prosecutors want Greenberg sentenced to between 9 and 11 years in prison, but there are signs the judge thinks that would be too lenient. On the other hand, Greenberg's defense team thinks a couple of years in the slammer would be appropriate given that their client agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for a lighter sentence. Here's some more info for you, to help you decide what price you think Greenberg should pay for his serious crimes.

The Respect for Marriage Act passed the U.S. Senate this week to much fanfare and with enough Republican votes to avoid a filibuster. The measure is designed to protest the right to same sex and interracial marriage. Hasn't the Supreme Court already done that? I question whether this legislation was needed, and I fear it will undermine religious liberties in this country, as I'll explain. Here's the story:

Some of our listeners are complaining that we've been talking a whole lot more about Ron DeSantis that Donald Trump lately. As I'll explain, it's simply because Good Morning Orlando is a NEWS talk radio show, and we talk about what's making news and who's making news. Like it or not, DeSantis is doing things every day that make news, and I'm having a very hard time finding much about Trump that's worth talking about. That's not an anti-Trump statement, that's simply the truth, and I welcome you angry Trump fans to prove me wrong!

Health officials are sounding the alarm about what they see as the next big public health disaster in America. It's not COVID, but what's called "Long COVID", where millions of people who get the virus and survive it, have serious lingering health problems from brain fog, to speech problems, to extreme fatigue that leave them barely able to function, much less work. I'll tell you what I know about this nightmare known as Long COVID.

Our discussion of Long COVID will be followed by a visit from Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Sara Lee Kessler on what's being dubbed America's "Triple-demic". That's COVID, the flu and RSV....all serious, and all plaguing our country at the same time!

A Dad who put his rambunctious young child on a leash when they went out in public is taking a lot of heat on social media. We'll debate whether it's ever okay to put a child on a leash like you do when you walk your dog, and I'll tell you why I think in some cases it's not only okay, it's the right thing to do? Here's the story. What do you think?
