BUD'S BLOG, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17th, 2023

Still no deal to raise the nation's debt limit and avoid the first default in U.S. history. I'll have the latest and analyze the sticking points on both sides and give you my take on what needs to happen to reach a compromise and avoid the economic catastrophe defaulting on our debts would trigger!

We'll take a deep dive into our DeSantis file. Among other things, you'll hear the Governor fire back at Trump for criticizing Florida's new 6 week abortion ban as "too harsh". We'll also report on some breaking news on DeSantis....which is all bad! The candidate he endorsed for Jacksonville MAYOR just lost, as did the candidate DeSantis endorsed in the Kentucky primary for Governor. And, we have some new poll numbers showing DeSantis trails Trump by the widest margin yet! Is Ron DeSantis losing his mojo just before he jumps into the presidential race? We need to talk about this, and we will !

We'll focus on the Florida 5th grade teacher who's under investigation for showing a Disney movie to her students that includes an openly gay character. The parent of a student in the teacher's class has reported her to the Florida Department of Education, claiming the teacher is in violation of the newest version of the Florida Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits discussion in school classrooms of matters relating to sexual orientation and gender identity. What should be done now? Let's talk about it!
