BUD'S BLOG, FRIDAY MAY 5th, 2023

The Florida Legislature has just failed to lower the minimum age for owning guns from 21 to 18. My question to you, are you glad, or are you mad....and why do you feel as you do? I have mixed emotions about this and I'll tell you why.

Florida lawmakers have just sent a bill to Governor DeSantis banning transgender treatments for children. I support this legislation which I'm certain the Governor will sign into law, because to me, kids are just too young to undergo these life trans surgical procedures or hormone treatments, even if they and/or their parents want this done. Do you agree with me, or not? Let's talk!

Just when it appeared testimony the E. Jean Carroll rape and defamation trial was over, former President Trump suddenly says he wants to testify, as you'll hear on our show. Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in the 1990's and defaming her character by claiming to this day that it was all a hoax and never happened. The judge in the case has given Trump until Sunday to formally notify him of his decision. Do you think Trump should testify, or do you think it would be a bad move on his part? We need to talk about this and we will !

Again on Thursday, Governor DeSantis around a reporter's question on whether he's going to enter the presidential race. He says he'll announce his decision after the legislative session ends, which is today. My question to you: do you want DeSantis to run, or not? We'll even have a one word texting poll question for you to weigh in one, and here it is:

DO YOU WANT GOVERNOR DESANTIS TO JOIN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT? TEXT "YES" OR TEXT "NO" TO 23680 .

Across the country 8th graders test scores in history and civics are down significantly. Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Rory O'Neill joins to analyze the test results and talk about why American students don't score well in history and civics, what can be done to reverse this disturbing trend, and why we should all be concerned about this.

As we told you earlier this week, plans for a memorial to the 49 victims of the PULSE nightclub massacre are suddenly up in the air, because the owners of the property couldn't reach an agreement to donate the land to the One PULSE Foundation. We'll talk live with Christine Leinonen, who's son was killed in the massacre. She has strong opinions about what should and should not be done to honor those whose lost their lives on that horrible night of June 12th, 2016.

I'm keeping a close eye on the Florida Legislature and will have the latest on the fate of the remaining bills under consideration, and I'll tell you about the controversial bill just passed to name a Florida road in honor of the late great king of conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh. The Democrats are furious about this, but "Rush Limbaugh Way" is on its way to becoming a reality!
