BUD'S BLOG, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8th, 2023

We'll play some key moments from Governor Ron DeSantis' State of the State address in which he made some bold statements about the state of our state under his leadership, and laid out his blueprint for the legislative session. The session began with a bang, as Republicans announced plans to pass a stricter abortion law, which would ban abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, instead of 15 weeks under current law. But, the proposed legislation does include exceptions in the case of rape or incest, which is an important change I have been calling for. We'll talk about whether these changes to Florida's abortion law would be a thing good or not, and we invite you to join the debate!

In our second hour of Good Morning Orlando we'll give you an opportunity to assess the state of the state of Florida, and what you would like to see the legislature do, or not do, during their 60 day session.

I am really troubled by FOX News host Tucker Carlson downplaying the severity of the January 6th, 2021 assault on the United States Capitol ! House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Tucker access to all 44,000 hours of videos from the events of that day, and he's begun playing some of them on his show. I'll let you hear some of Tucker's commentary, in which he says reports of mob violence have been way overblown by the media and the House Select Committee investigating what happened on January 6th. He says there were a few "hooligans", but for the most part, the protesters who got into the Capitol that day were "sightseers" who "revered" the building! This is outrageous! How can Carlson, or anyone else for that matter, possibly believe what he's saying?!

Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Rory O'Neill joins us live at 7:42 with the latest on the Americans kidnapped and killed in Mexico by members of a drug cartel. And at 8:42, we'll talk about what the U.S. ought to do about it. You will hear from one widely respected official from the Trump administration who says we ought to take the same approach to the Mexican drug cartels as Trump took with ISIS-go in and take them out! Works for me, but I can't imagine President Biden having the guts to do it, can you?!
