BUD'S BLOG, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5th, 2023
I'll give you the very latest on House Republicans inability to elect a Speaker. I'll tell you who the 20 far right hard liners are who still refuse to support Kevin McCarthy, the clear choice of 90% of GOP House members. Not only are they denying McCarthy the Speakership he's coveted for years, but they are defying former President Trump! Most of the 20 hardliners are pro-Trumpers and Trump's told them to "close the deal" and elect McCarthy, whom Trump continues to support. What does that say about Trump's diminishing influence within the Republican Party? We'll talk about it!

Did hell just freeze over? Are people ice-skating on Lake Eola in January? Did I miss something?! I'm just asking, because all of a sudden President Biden says he's planning to visit the southern border!! As recently as a month ago, Biden said he wouldn't visit the border because there were "more important things going on" ! Why has the President changed his mind? Why now? And what does he hope to accomplish as record numbers of illegal aliens and record amounts of deadly drugs continue to stream across the border Biden and the Democrats have chosen to leave wide open? These are all questions we'll explore, and we invite you to weigh in by calling 407 916 5400, texting your comments to 23680, or making your own commentary using the Talkback feature on the iHeartradio app !
We'll focus on the ugly anti-semitic messages being projected onto buildings in downtown Orlando. I want to know who's doing this and why they haven't been caught. It seems to me it ought to be very easy to find projecting devices capable of displaying lighted messages that appear to be several feet high and several feet wide. I'll also tell you what Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer is saying about these disturbing displays that have no place in The City Beautiful, as Orlando has long been known.
We'll have a special House call from our health and medical expert Dr. Ken Kronhaus. He's my heart doctor and one of the most respected cardiologists in America. Dr. K will give us his take on NFL player, Damar Hamlin, who went into cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field during the Bills-Bengals game Monday night. What caused this to happen to an apparently healthy professional athlete and what are his chances of surviving and recovering? He'll also weigh in on the new sub-variant of COVID-19 that's sweeping the country. How dangerous is it and what can you do to minimize your chances of getting it? Does Doc recommend wearing a mask, and if so, where and when? Don't miss the latest timely Housecall from Dr. Kronhaus!
