When do you think former President Trump's federal trial over his alleged mishandling of classified documents found at Mar-A-Lago should be held? Judge Aileen Cannon will hear arguments Tuesday on that all important question, and it is possible she will set a date!

Special Counsel Jack Smith wants the trial to start this December, but Trump wants it delayed until after the 2024 presidential election, which would be in November 2024 at the earliest.

I'm on record as wanting the trial held sooner rather than later so I'll know whether Trump's been acquitted or convicted before I vote in the Florida primary next March, and in the general election the following November.

When do you want Trump's trial held? Let's talk!

Vladimir Putin has just pulled Russia out of the Black Sea grain deal that has kept Ukraine's huge supply of wheat flowing to the U.S. and to countries all around the world, even during the ongoing war. Newsradio WFLA National Correspondent Rory O'Neill joins us live to talk about how much our food prices might spike, and how many millions of people in poor countries might face serious food shortages, unless Putin changes his mind.

Politically, Florida just keeps getting redder and redder! I'll have the latest numbers that show far more voters are registering as Republicans than they are as Democrats, and that the gap has been growing by leaps and bounds since Governor DeSantis was first elected! And, we'll ask you to weigh in on why we're seeing this trend.

In our Central Florida File, I'll tell you about a small step that's just been taken toward letting Orange County use it's tourist tax revenue for whatever it needs, instead of having the money restricted to sports facilities and promoting tourism.

And, I'll tell you whether or not the Orlando City Council decides to extend the measures in place to fight crime and violence in the downtown entertainment district. The decision should come Monday night.

From the Budman's Believe It Or Not File comes the disturbing news that a huge number of people in this country think "misgendering" someone should be a criminal offense! I can't want to talk about this with you!
