11 years in prison. That's the sentence for Joel Greenberg, the former Seminole County Tax Collector who confessed to six felonies, including sex trafficking involving an under age girl. Greenberg, who admitted in court that he betrayed the public's trust and feels remorse for what he's done, could have gotten 30 years behind bars. I thought the judge would give him 20 years or so, and 11 years just doesn't seem like enough to me. What do you think? Was justice done in the sentencing of Joel Greenberg, or not? Let's talk about it!
I'll tell you a few things you may not know about New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democrats new leader replacing Nancy Pelosi when the new Congress convenes in January.
Jeffries is on record as a 2016 election denier who has seriously questioned whether Donald Trump actually defeated Hillary Clinton. So it's okay for a top Democrat to be an election denier, but Democrats have nothing but contempt for anyone who denies the legitimacy of Biden's victory over Trump? Hmmmm.

Here's something else you may not know about Jeffries, which could be a big problem when he has to work with President Biden. Back in 2020 when Tara Reade made headlines with her claims Joe Biden sexually assaulted her back in the 1990's, Jeffries said Reade's claims were serious and should be investigated. I wonder if he still feels that way now? So far, no comment from Jeffries.
We'll talk about a new report showing confidence in the U.S. military is dropping and is far lower now than it was just a few years ago. The report from the Reagan Institute puts a lot of blame on the woke agenda being driven by our military and Defense Department leaders who seem more concerned with diversity, inclusion and systemic racism than training our troops to fight. Beyond that, I don't think it's a coincidence that confidence in our military was a lot higher during Donald Trump's presidency than it is now. Trump built our military up in every way! Trump had the military's back! We'll talk about this disturbing report which finds roughly half the Americans surveyed worry that the U.S. military as it is now, might not be able to win a war! Patriots, we need to talk about this, and I hope you'll join the conversation!

A new study finds life really does get better with age...that life gets less stressful as we get older. Do you agree or disagree? Let's talk about it!
We'll close out the week on Good Morning Orlando with a visit from Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Erin Real who has the latest on gasoline prices, which continue to fall. How low might they go, and where does Central Florida stand compared to the rest of the country?
