BUD'S BLOG, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10th, 2023
In the run up to Sunday's Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, we want you to vote in our One Word Texting Poll, and here it is:
WHO WINS THE SUPERBOWL? TEXT "EAGLES" OR TEXT "CHIEFS" TO 23680.
We'll update the voting throughout Friday's edition of Good Morning Orlando and have the final tally just before we wrap things up at 9 o'clock.
President Biden was in Florida, stoking peoples fears during a speech at the University of Tampa. Biden, as you will hear, picked up where he left off during Tuesday night's raucous State of the Union speech, as he falsely claimed Republicans, led by Florida Senator Rick Scott, want to cut or eliminate Social Security and Medicare. What the President said during the State of the Union wasn't true, and what he said in Tampa wasn't true either, and I'm calling him out! I've also found a sound cut we'll play for you of a young Senator Joe Biden saying Social Security and Medicare spending needed to be reviewed, which is all Republicans are advocating now. Wait til you hear this!

Our "Dumb Florida Crooks" file spotlights the guy who broke into a Flagler County convenience store, stole a bunch of stuff, left his debit card behind, and then claimed it was to pay for what he stole! He thought that might get him off the hook with the cops. Wrong! He's facing charges. We'll talk about this bizarre story, the kind of crazy news item that always seem to have a Florida byline to it!
