Podcasts about Florida Senate

The Florida Senate and House have different views on sales taxes and property taxes, and differ with Gov. DeSantis on how to balance the state's budget. State Sen. Jay Collins outlined how the Senate is in line with the governor's priorities, possible insurance reform, and what faces lawmakers to settle the budget by the mandated July 1st deadline.

In this episode: Republican lawmakers are digging deeper into a scandal in which the Ron DeSantis administration may have used a Casey DeSantis charity to turn $10 million of Medicaid money into funding for TV ads in a political campaign that was important to the governor. It's obviously bad — and potentially illegal. But it's also part of a broader pattern of abuses. Plus: Is the Florida Senate getting ready for war?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, a devastating helicopter crash in the Hudson River claimed the lives of all six aboard: three children, their parents, and the pilot. In a separate incident at Reagan National Airport, two planes collided when a taxiing jet clipped the wing of a stationary aircraft carrying several congressmen. These events underscore a troubling pattern of recent aviation mishaps. Additionally, a new mandate requires all individuals illegally present in the U.S. to register, a policy facing pushback from the left, who argue it's unjust. Critics on the left accuse Trump of lawlessness, while U.S. District Judges, like Judge Indira Talwani, challenge his actions, raising questions about their own grasp of legal principles. Afterward, in June 2024, Levin expressed concerns about President Biden's mental sharpness, highlighting cognitive decline as a significant problem. How could the media observe Biden's behavior and only now claim there was a cover-up? The authors of these Biden-focused books are the same media figures who concealed this issue. Also, The SAVE Act will stop illegals from voting without identification and registration. It is very important and good that it was passed, proving that Trump kept his promise to the American people. The Tax cuts are just as important as the SAVE Act as it will help the economy improve. Hakeem Jeffries claims that Republicans are trying to destroy the economy. He stated that Trump is cutting part of Medicaid which will take away health benefits to millions of people. The Medicaid program has been used and abused by people who are Illegal and should not be here in the first place, and people committing fraud by using the names of their dead relatives to get benefits or income. Another example would be Elon Musk and DOGE discovering millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for fake people, stopping them once and for all.  Elon Musk and DOGE continue to find ways to clean the swamp, and exposing the failures that the Biden administration left us. Then, Iran's latest move seems to be an interim nuclear deal—a familiar tactic to buy more time while engaging in strategic delay. The message should be clear: no nuclear weapons means no nuclear weapons. An interim agreement is unnecessary, assuming that's what's being proposed. Barak Ravid's take is always worth examining, but the stance here should be firm: reject interim deals outright. Lastly, Gov. Ron DeSantis calls in to discuss the Florida House legislature. The Florida Senate is collaborating constructively to maintain the state's success, while the Florida House is veering liberal, pushing bills to undo tort reform, enrich trial lawyers, and “de-wokify” universities. The House's actions diverge from Florida's conservative agenda. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Gov. Ron DeSantis Backs Proposal To Eliminate Property Taxes in Florida The Florida Legislature is considering a move to eliminate property taxes in the state, a radical step that has the backing of Gov. Ron DeSantis. If actually carried out, the proposal would make Florida the first state in the country without property taxes, a prospect that has already drawn strong reactions from both supporters and opponents. A bill filed on Tuesday in the Florida Senate calls for a formal study of how eliminating real estate taxes could affect public services and the state's economy and housing market. https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/desantis-eliminate-property-taxes-florida/ California...

Today, I dispel all of the loser arguments in favor of a hostage deal supported by Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, Biden, and every Democrat around. What we witnessed yesterday was the power and danger of the purported right-wing leader joining with the Left to crush us. It doesn't have to be this way. I believe we are at a crossroads. If we ramp up the pressure on Trump, there are still good things we can do. I make the case for divesting from Qatar and shoring up Trump's foreign policy to make sure he doesn't endorse a Palestinian state. I also share some thoughts about DeSantis' pick of Ashley Moody for the vacant Florida Senate seat.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's the main takeaway from the latest Trump family development? The Washington Post reports: "Lara Trump drops out of contention for U.S. Senate seat for Florida." Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this reporting is this: "President-elect Donald Trump had indicated to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that he wanted his daughter-in-law to be appointed." This raises the question: Did DeSantis refuse to abide by Trump's wishes regarding appointing his daughter-in-law to the position?

TikTok's days in the U.S. may be numbered after a federal appeals court upheld a federal law late last week to force the ban or sale of the social media app. The case could ultimately end up before the Supreme Court.

Louise Matsakis, senior business editor at WIRED, walks us through all the what-ifs of a future without TikTok. Later in the show, Bloomberg senior editor Stacey Vanek Smith talks about what the incoming Trump administration's enthusiasm for cryptocurrency means for all of us.And in headlines: A suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO was arrested and charged in Pennsylvania, Lara Trump eyes Marco Rubio's Florida Senate seat, and Biden faces a growing pressure campaign to use his clemency powers.Show Notes:Check out Louise's work – www.wired.com/author/louise-matsakis/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Amid accusations that Florida's property insurance companies, including state-backed Citizens Insurance, are deliberately paying only half their claims and “in a state of collapse,” comes new insight and fresh data that debunk the charges.  The man behind the allegations is Martin Weiss of Weiss Ratings, who's now the subject of an investigation by state insurance regulators.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller shares the new push-back from Citizens' President & CEO on these accusations and sits down with the head of a large private insurance company who shares new data showing why these charges are inaccurate and unfair in what is a tightly-regulated marketplace. Show Notes (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-54-the-truth-behind-the-50-claims-denial/  ) The news stories emerged mere weeks after two devastating hurricanes – Helene and Milton – struck Florida, creating $5.3 billion in estimated insured losses in Florida as of late November 2024.  Host Miller dives deep into the controversies and complexities surrounding the state-created Citizens Property Insurance Corporation and the broader Florida property insurance market on its claims handling and claims payment rates.  "The innuendo that's going around in the media space is that there is a suspicion that Citizens is trying to cheat its customers, and now forces are trying to extend that innuendo to Florida's private property insurance market companies,” said Miller.  “In my opinion, that's just plain dishonest and unfair."The program features soundbites from Weiss, Citizens Property Insurance President & CEO Tim Cerio, and a studio interview with Locke Burt, CEO and Chairman of Security First Insurance Company.  Burt served in the Florida Senate for 12 years, where he helped write the laws that created Citizens and the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund.Weiss, in various November media reports, said that he'd reviewed Citizens Property Insurance 2023 annual financial statement and concluded that Citizens didn't pay 50.4% of its 2023 claims.  He said that was worse than any private insurance company's no-pay rate.  Weiss declined an invitation to appear on the podcast.Burt and Cerio defended Citizens and the broader Florida insurance market against Weiss' accusations, noting there are legitimate reasons claims are closed without payment.  It's not always about denial.  The reasons include:  Claims that fall below the policyholder's deductible. Duplicate claims. Claims related to flood damage, which are not covered by standard homeowners' policies. Weiss, in his criticism of Citizens, was quoted in the media as saying “One factor that we believe is probably playing a role is a deliberate strategy to reduce their liabilities for whatever reason.”Cerio shot back at the December 4, 2024 Citizens Board of Governors meeting.  “It's critical to just point out that, we are the state created, not for profit, insurer of last resort.  We have no financial incentive to not play claims.  Zero,” he said.(For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-54-the-truth-behind-the-50-claims-denial/ )Image credit:  danielfela/Shutterstock
