Today we are talking about a piece of legislation in Florida that, if it ultimately becomes law, could reshape how property taxes are calculated across the state for decades to come. It is House Joint Resolution 203, often referred to as HJR 203, and it has just passed the Florida House. Now, first, a reminder, a joint resolution like this is not a typical statute change. It proposes a constitutional amendment. In Florida, that means voters ultimately decide, and it generally requires a 60 percent approval threshold on the ballot. So what does HJR 203 propose?The short version is that it would gradually expand the homestead exemption for non school property taxes by $100,000 per year for ten years beginning in 2027, and by 2037, it would fully exempt homestead property from non school ad valorem taxes. School district levies remain. So why does this matter to real estate investors, even investors who do not own homesteads?Because property taxes are not just a line item. They are a transfer system. If you change who is exempt, you change who must carry the load, or you change what services get funded, or both. And if you change the tax base, you can change market behavior.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

In Florida, some creativity has led to a possible solution of the ongoing problem of coyotes bringing danger to neighborhoods and families who own small pets.  A chihuahua is here to save the day, with his spiked armor.

Today's Headlines: On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The dissenters: Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Trump responded by blasting Justices Gorsuch and Barrett as “disloyal” and insisting he can “destroy trade” but not “charge a little fee.” He then proposed a global 10% tariff workaround — later bumped to 15%. Meanwhile, Americans are still effectively paying 9.1% in tariffs, and the Court didn't address what happens to the $133 billion already collected. Over the weekend, Trump announced he's sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, despite Denmark saying it wasn't informed and doesn't need it. The Navy ships in question are reportedly in Alabama. Sure. On the Russia beat, a Trump ally signed a natural gas deal with Russian energy giant Novatek despite U.S. sanctions tied to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — the first known new U.S.–Russia venture of its kind. Separately, ICE and other agencies contracted with phone-forensics firm Oxygen Forensics, which has ties to sanctioned former FSB figures. At the same time, DHS has issued hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies seeking identifying information on users critical of ICE. Trump is also pressuring Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board amid maneuvering around a media acquisition deal that could affect CNN. Casual. In Florida, Secret Service agents shot and killed a 21-year-old man who allegedly breached the perimeter of Mar-a-Lagowith what appeared to be a shotgun and fuel can; the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Trump — a $5.5 million rebrand. And finally, taxpayers will now provide new Secret Service agents with two tailored suits upon graduation. Inflation hits us all differently.

In Washington, D.C., a mother of three is shot in front of her children and the suspect later dies after a police pursuit and Amber Alert for the victim’s missing toddler. In Florida, deputies say a woman pretended to be a child welfare worker and even called 911 trying to get police to help her kidnap a child from a babysitter.

Rate & Term Refinancing in Florida: Is Now the Right Time?Are you staring at your mortgage statement, wondering if there's a better deal out there? You're not alone! Many Florida homeowners are considering a rate and term refinance, especially with fluctuating interest rates. The big question is: when should you jump, and are those tempting "points" really worth it? In Florida, a general rule of thumb is that a rate drop of around 2% is typically needed to make a refinance worthwhile, allowing you to recoup closing costs relatively quickly. But what happens when rates are trending downwards and another refinance might be just around the corner? Let's break down the key factors to consider, so you can make an informed decision that saves you money in the long run.Is Paying Points Smart When Rates Are Downtrending?The promise of a lower interest rate can be incredibly enticing. Lenders often offer "points," also known as discount points, which are essentially upfront fees you pay to reduce your interest rate. One point typically costs 1% of the loan amount. The catch? You need to calculate how long it will take to recoup that upfront investment through lower monthly payments.Factors to Consider Before Paying PointsHow long do you plan to stay in your home? The longer you stay, the more likely you are to recoup the cost of the points. If you plan to move in a few years, paying points might not be a wise investment.How much will you save each month? Calculate the difference between your current monthly payment and the projected payment with the lower interest rate (after paying points).What are the overall closing costs? Don't just focus on the points. Factor in all other closing costs, such as appraisal fees, title insurance, and origination fees.What are the current economic forecasts? While no one has a crystal ball, staying informed about interest rate predictions can help you gauge the potential for further rate drops.The Cost vs. Savings Analysis of RefinancingTo truly understand if a rate and term refinance is right for you, you need to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis. This involves comparing the costs of refinancing (including points, if any) with the potential savings over the life of the loan.Calculating Your Break-Even PointThe "break-even point" is the amount of time it takes for your cumulative savings to equal your total refinancing costs. Here's how to calculate it:Calculate your total refinancing costs: Add up all closing costs, including points, appraisal fees, title insurance, etc.Calculate your monthly savings: Subtract your new monthly payment (with the lower interest rate) from your current monthly payment.Divide the total refinancing costs by the monthly savings: This will give you the number of months it will take to break even.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogdidier malagies nmls#212566dda mortgage nmls#324329 Support the show

In Florida, those who sympathize with certain causes or ideologies may soon be guiltyof the crime of “domestic terrorism.”Political disagreements are becoming really problematic when it comes to relationships.Amidst multi-million dollar outlays, Florida's school voucher system seems to have a raft of accounting problems; Something that lawmakers are now trying to fix; After all the horror stories about AI, many educators now think it might help more students gain literacy. If they have access to it; And Florida's Brightline trains are running in the red; maybe because those train trips have been too much of a bargain?

The ongoing perilous cold wave remains the central focus of our discussion today, as it continues to affect regions from the Plains to the eastern coastline of the United States.

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop for a canter through the best stories in racing. First today, Lydia reflects on her trip to Gowran Park for Thyestes Chase day, where trainer Gavin Cromwell stole the honours - he joins the show as we wonder whether this marks a turning point for his season. Also today, Jane Williams talks about going head-to-head with son Chester in the Triumph Hurdle Trial on Saturday, while Bryony Frost has high hopes of coming home to fly the French flag with three rides at Cheltenham. In Florida, Nick catches up with trainer Saffie Joseph as he bids to win the Pegasus World Cup with last year's winner and third, White Abarrio and Skippylongstocking.

Nick - in South Florida ahead of the Pegasus World Cup - is joined by award winning Racing Post writer Jonathan Harding, who reports from the UK ahead of Cheltenham Trials Day. We hear from a confident Jimmy Mangan about the chances of Spillane's Tower in this weekend's Cotswold Chase, while French agent Bertrand le Metayer details the long road back to the racecourse for Cleeve Hurdle entry Theleme, plus Dan Barber looks at trainers in form through the Timeform lens. In Florida, Nick catches up at some length with colourful and charismatic owner Michael Iavarone, whose quest to finally have a winner on Pegasus Day sees him with eleven runners on the card. Meanwhile, Ellerslie Park Executive GM Craig Baker has news of this weekend's big fixture in New Zealand, the Karaka Millions, while James McDonald pays his own tribute to the retiring Via Sistina, and offers justification for the decision to race Romantic Warrior exclusively in Hong Kong this year.

Monday, 19 January 2026   He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red'; Matthew 16:2   “And answering, He said to them, ‘Evening having come, you say, “Good weather!”, for the heaven, it is red'” (CG).   In the previous verse, the Pharisees and Sadducees approached Jesus, asking for a sign from heaven. He now responds to their request, saying, “And answering, He said to them, ‘Evening having come, you say, “Good weather!”   A unique word is seen here, eudia, good weather. It is derived from eu, well or good, and the alternate of Zeus, Dia (the accusative case), the god of the weather. Jesus remarks to them that in the evening, it is normal for people, including the scribes and Pharisees, to walk outside and deduce that good weather is ahead.   The words are colloquial. One might walk out with a wife, a friend, or, when his neighbor is outside, look up and simply say, “Good weather!” That is next followed by Jesus' explanation, as He says, “for the heaven, it is red.”   The clause contains another new word, purrazó, to be red or, intransitively, to redden. The word is only found in this verse and the next. It is derived from purrhos, fire-like, and thus red. Jesus' words are axiomatic. People observe the sky and understand its regular patterns.   Life application: In Florida, when the wind may start racing from the south during winter, there is a ton of moisture and heat being drawn up from the tropics. This warm (or even hot) muggy air tells the locals that a cold front is on its way.   As the front nears, the wind turns to a west breeze. For those who surf, they start waxing their surfboards. Eventually, the wind switches to the north, and a line of often very heavy rain will come rushing through.   That is the same moisture that was being drawn up from the south. It is now being returned to the people, often with violent thunder, lightning accompanying it as the cold air meets the tropical air.   Very quickly, the temperatures begin to drop, the waves build, the surfers surf, and the bays that are along the Gulf Coast between the islands and the mainland will drop many feet in level, sometimes so much that fish are left lying on the bay's bed, flopping around, waiting to be picked up by the thousands.   People know these things will come about, and they anticipate the changes coming simply because they understand the obvious nature of what is occurring. At such times, the bays can be so drained that one could walk across them without it getting more than knee deep.   This can all happen in a few hours. It is how the Red Sea passage is described in Exodus 14, where a strong east wind blew all that night.   Anyone who thinks the story is implausible has never seen the events in Florida at times as described above. Wind can be a strong force in drying out deep bodies of water.   Believe the Bible. It is reliable.   Lord God, we know that You can do all things, including drying out the sea for Israel to pass through it on foot. You even told us how You did it. Help us in our times of unbelief about things that we don't have an explanation for. Be with us in our times of weakness and doubt. Amen.

On tonight's program: In Florida, the battle lines are being drawn In the upcoming fight over who will pay for all the infrastructure the AI industry needs; We get a look ahead to how Florida property taxes may change, now that Governor DeSantis has weighed in on the matter; The present wave of anti-Semitic violence has Jewish congregations on high alert; An investigative report by the Miami Herald and Tampa Bay Times suggests theDeSantis administration diverted more than $35 million in taxpayer money to fight two ballot initiatives. Money that should have gone somewhere else; It's the old city vs country debate, but with untold millions of dollars-worth of development hanging in the balance, politics is playing an even bigger role; Florida's official public health policy is moving away from required vaccinations. But that hasn't stopped many in the medical community from citing worrisome data; Florida signs on to a multi-state lawsuit against the popular weed killer Roundup; and the old saying about “music having charms to soothe the savage beast” is being amended to say: “music has charms to soothe the saddened soul.”

A mass shooting at Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah event created major challenges for journalists trying to confirm fast-moving details. Newsrooms had to decide how to describe the attack, when to name suspects and how to treat unverified online posts. Jacqueline Maley, senior writer at the Sydney Morning Herald, explains the decisions behind early reporting and the influence of social media. The UK government has begun a consultation on BBC charter renewal, which will shape the organisation from 2028. It raises questions about how the BBC is governed, how it supports producers across the UK and how it might be funded in the future. Options include subscription models, advertising and changes to licence fee income. Alex Farber, media correspondent at The Times, outlines what is being considered. In Florida, Donald Trump has filed a defamation case against the BBC over an edited sequence in the Panorama documentary which triggered the resignation of the corporation's Director General and its CEO of News. Stuart M Benjamin, professor of law at Duke University, sets out the legal issues. Short, vertical micro dramas are becoming a major part of China's entertainment industry, with revenues expected to exceed cinema box office figures.

Donald Trump has spent the past several days not on a campaign stage, but inside and around courtrooms, as a web of criminal and civil cases continues to tighten around him. Listeners, I want to walk you straight into what has been unfolding right now.In the federal election interference case in Washington, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, prosecutors have been pressing Judge Tanya Chutkan to keep this trial on a firm schedule. According to reporting from The New York Times and CNN, Smith's team has been pushing back hard against Trump's efforts to delay, arguing that voters deserve a jury verdict on whether he criminally tried to overturn the 2020 election before the next major political milestones. Trump's lawyers, by contrast, have continued to insist that the case is a partisan hit job and that they need far more time to review discovery. That clash over timing has dominated hearings in recent days, with Judge Chutkan signaling she will not allow the defense to simply run out the clock.Down in Georgia, in Fulton County, District Attorney Fani Willis's sweeping racketeering case charging Trump and multiple allies with trying to reverse Joe Biden's victory has turned into a marathon of pretrial skirmishes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and NBC News report that over the last week defense attorneys have peppered Judge Scott McAfee with motions to dismiss, motions to sever, and renewed attacks on the credibility of key state witnesses. Trump himself is not required to appear for most of these arguments, but his presence looms over every exchange, as prosecutors detail phone calls, pressure on state officials, and the now-famous effort to “find” votes.In Florida, the classified documents case has also seen movement. According to the Miami Herald and Politico, Special Counsel Jack Smith's team has used recent hearings to argue that Trump's continued public comments about witnesses and the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago are edging toward obstruction. Judge Aileen Cannon has been under scrutiny for months, with legal analysts at Lawfare and Just Security noting that her rulings on evidence and trial timing could determine whether this case is heard by a jury anytime soon. Trump's lawyers have leaned into claims that the documents were declassified or planted, while prosecutors have focused on surveillance footage and witness testimony that, they say, shows deliberate concealment.Meanwhile, in New York, the aftershocks of earlier trials are still being felt. The civil fraud judgment obtained by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which, as reported by the Associated Press and The Washington Post, found that Trump and the Trump Organization inflated asset values for years, has morphed into a battle over money and control. Recent filings have centered on how fast the state can collect hundreds of millions of dollars and what limits will be placed on Trump's ability to run his real estate empire in New York. Those financial pressures hang over every other case.Layered on top of all this, Supreme Court litigation involving the Trump administration's current actions has kept his legal team shuttling between lower courts and the high court. According to coverage by SCOTUSblog and Lawfare, emergency appeals over executive power, immigration, and the removal of independent agency officials have produced a rapid-fire series of shadow docket orders. One such case, Trump v. Slaughter, was argued this month, with Oyez and the Supreme Court's own docket noting that the justices are again being asked to define the reach of presidential power.Taken together, the past few days have not been about one trial, but about a landscape where Donald Trump's political future, personal fortune, and even his freedom are being tested, line by line, in legal filings and courtroom arguments.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Today's Headlines: Trump had a busy week: he gave himself an A++++++ on the economy, and in a Politico interview, openly admitted he has “no vision for Europe” while praising autocrats like Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey. European security officials are sounding alarms too, warning that Russia's hybrid warfare campaign—political sabotage, infrastructure attacks, energy manipulation, and propaganda—could escalate into a full-blown war by 2029. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says he speaks to Putin “regularly” to protect Israel's borders, particularly against Syria, so the lines are already being drawn. Over in tech, Elon Musk confessed on Katie Miller's podcast that DOGE was only “somewhat successful” and that if he could do it again, he wouldn't. And the Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth, is rolling out Google's Gemini AI for unclassified work like onboarding and administrative tasks—but the NYT is suing because Hegseth's new press rules forced reporters to sign gag orders or lose access. In Florida, Miami elected its first Democratic mayor in 28 years, Eileen Higgins, a former Peace Corps director and mechanical engineer, ending decades of GOP control and running on a government efficiency platform. Let's travel back to Taylor Swift's October album release real quick, remember the nazi, trad wife chaos around it? Turns out, less than 4% of accounts drove 28% of the conversation, and over 73% of the inflammatory posts came from inauthentic or conspiracy-focused accounts.

Listeners, in courtrooms across America, Donald Trump's legal saga is still unfolding, and the past few days have shown how tightly his political future is tied to these trials.In New York, the hush money criminal case that led to Donald Trump's felony convictions earlier this year continues to shape what happens next. After a jury in Manhattan found him guilty of falsifying business records connected to payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, the focus has shifted from the drama of trial testimony to the grind of appeals and sentencing strategy. Major outlets like the New York Times and CNN have reported that Trump's lawyers are pressing arguments that the case was politically motivated and that key testimony from Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer, should never have been trusted. At the same time, New York prosecutors under District Attorney Alvin Bragg are emphasizing to the courts that a jury heard the evidence and spoke clearly.In Georgia, the election interference case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis remains a slow burn rather than a daily spectacle. According to reporting from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Associated Press, recent hearings have focused less on the explosive racketeering charges and more on pretrial motions: what evidence can come in, which co-defendants will be tried alongside Trump, and how quickly a trial could realistically happen in the thick of a presidential election cycle. Judges in Georgia have been acutely aware, as those outlets note, that every scheduling decision may be read as a political act, even though it is rooted in criminal procedure and logistics.On the federal side, two major criminal cases still hang over Donald Trump: the classified documents case in Florida and the 2020 election interference case in Washington, D.C. The Washington Post and NBC News report that the election interference case, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, has been slowed by endless pretrial fights over presidential immunity, privileged communications, and the scope of what jurors would be allowed to hear about January 6. In Florida, in the classified documents case before Judge Aileen Cannon, recent hearings reported by Politico and CBS News have focused on how to handle highly sensitive national security material at trial, with Trump's team arguing for broad access and delays, while prosecutors push to keep the schedule moving.Even the Supreme Court has been pulled into the Trump legal orbit again. CBS News and SCOTUSblog have been covering arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, a case testing whether President Trump can fire Federal Trade Commission commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without the usual “for cause” protections that shield many independent agency officials. In oral arguments, several conservative justices suggested that limiting a president's power to remove such officials may violate the Constitution's separation of powers, while the liberal justices warned that giving Trump nearly unchecked removal power could destabilize agencies far beyond the FTC. A ruling expected in the coming months could reshape how future presidents, not just Trump, control independent regulators.Taken together, these court battles show a former president and current political force fighting on every legal front: criminal, civil, state, federal, and even constitutional at the Supreme Court. Every hearing date, every ruling on evidence, every appellate brief now doubles as both a legal move and a political message, with Trump portraying himself as a target of what he calls a weaponized justice system, and prosecutors and judges insisting they are simply applying long-standing law to an unusually powerful defendant.Thank you for tuning in.

Dr. Dahl presented a Real Science webinar on heat stress on April 1, 2025. You can find the webinar at balchem.com/realscience. This episode of Real Science Exchange further explores the key elements of Dr. Dahl's webinar.Dr. Dahl talks about geographical differences in whether farms provide cooling for dry or lactating cows. Cows get heat stressed long before humans. Some farms are concerned that using misters for cooling will add too much water to their manure handling systems. He notes a study comparing conventional misters and fans, no cooling, and smart soakers that only provide mist if a cow is present. When the total amount of water (drinking + cooling system) was evaluated, the smart soakers cooled as well as the conventional system, but used the same amount of water as the no cooling group.  (7:08)During the dry period, a main impact of heat stress is a reduction in dry matter intake. However, there are dramatic shifts in immune function and effects on mammary development and redevelopment in cows who experience heat stress in the dry period. This sets the stage for lower productivity in the next lactation. In addition, there are many negative impacts on the in utero calf from heat stress. Calves from heat stressed dams are challenged from a growth standpoint, in addition to organ development challenges in the mammary gland, ovaries, and immune system. These calves are less likely to make it through their first lactation, are less productive, and pass their poor production and survival phenotype on to their offspring. (14:28)Dr. Tao talks about when during the dry period to provide cooling for cows. Spoiler alert: the entire dry period! He also notes that bred heifers should have cooling provided for the last 60 days of gestation as well. Laura asks about the impact of heat stress on neonatal calves and how it may impact their mammary development. More research is needed in this area, and you also have to wait two years to collect data from the first lactation. Dr. Dahl notes that observations from season of birth data indicate lower longevity for calves who are born to heat stressed dams. (18:26)Milk production is decreased by 8-10 pounds per day for cows stressed during the dry period, and they also produce a lower volume of colostrum. Calves from heat stressed dams also have a lower rate of passive transfer of antibodies from colostrum. The panel talks about why that might be, whether or not those gut differences persist after calfhood, and how that might be related to growth differences between heat stressed and cooled calves. (27:30)What about reproduction? It appears that heat stress during the dry period has a negative impact on reproductive function in the subsequent breeding season. Recent research has indicated that calves experiencing heat stress in utero have poor gonadal development and lower follicular reserves. In addition, placental development is also negatively affected. Dr. Tao notes that heat stress negatively impacts mammary gland involution during the dry off period. All of this leads to a decrease in cow longevity. (35:36)Dr. Dahl describes a retrospective records study using Florida and California herds to evaluate cows in their fifth through eighth lactations. In Florida, about three-quarters of those animals were born in cooler parts of the year rather than in hotter months of the year. The pattern in California was similar, though not quite as extreme. (44:02)Dr. Tao and Dr. Dahl expand on the economics of cooling cows, including return on investment and the costs of not cooling. The guests also talk about some of their research abstracts at the 2025 ADSA meetings. (48:10)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

The October 27 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered a mix of urgency and innovation, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill discussed California's expanding HLB citrus quarantine, the latest autonomous robotics technology, and the insights of UC Agriculture & Natural Resources (UC ANR) and The Reservoir founder Danny Bernstein on the state's farming future. The show opened with breaking news that California's HLB (Huanglongbing) quarantine boundaries have expanded significantly. McGill, who witnessed the disease's devastation in Florida, warned that California must learn from that experience before it's too late. “In Florida, they thought they could contain it,” he said. “Within five years, the entire state's citrus acreage was infected.” Papagni and McGill stressed that if California fails to act decisively, its citrus industry — one of the state's most iconic — could face the same fate. Their conversation highlighted the need for early detection, collaboration with Florida experts, and stronger integration between PCAs, UC researchers, and state agencies. “California citrus is world-renowned,” Papagni said. “If we lose it, the ripple effect will hit farms, jobs, and entire communities.” From disease control to digital transformation, the show then shifted gears with a spotlight on Bonsai Robotics, one of the most talked-about exhibitors at the FIRA USA 2025 Ag Automation Show in Woodland. Arif Gupta of Bonsai explained how their retrofit kits can turn any existing tractor into an autonomous vehicle — helping farmers save on labor and fuel while collecting real-time data. “We're helping growers take their current equipment and make it autonomous,” Gupta said. “It's about cutting costs, increasing precision, and building a smarter farm.” The program continued with UC ANR's Gabe Youtsey, who passionately described the university's mission to keep California farming viable amid rising regulation, labor shortages, and global competition. “California agriculture feeds the world,” Youtsey said. “If we lose the ability to produce our own food, we lose part of our national identity.” He also emphasized that farmers remain the best environmental stewards. “They're not poisoning the land — they're protecting it for future generations.” Finally, the show closed with a conversation with Danny Bernstein, founder of The Reservoir, an ag-tech incubator helping startups develop tools to solve real-world problems for growers. Bernstein called his company “the double-A league of ag tech,” connecting early-stage innovators with Central Valley and coastal farmers to help them test, refine, and scale their products. “Agriculture doesn't need innovation for luxury,” he said. “It needs innovation for resilience.” Papagni wrapped up by tying the week's stories together: “From fighting HLB to building the next generation of robotics, it's clear California agriculture is standing at a crossroads — and leading the way into the future.”

Drew makes his major endorsement announcement in the race for Mayor of New York City—and it's not what anyone expected.Meanwhile, the government shutdown drags on, now the second longest in U.S. history, and Democrats seem more interested in celebrating the pain they're causing than solving the crisis.In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis moves to eliminate the child vaccine schedule, igniting a new national debate over parental rights and medical freedom.And finally, far-left Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani faced his final debate—and Drew's got plenty to say about his privilege, hypocrisy, and performative politics.

Today's Headlines: About 7 million Americans joined No Kings marches across all 50 states — no arrests, no chaos — but Trump responded with an AI video of himself flying over protesters and pooping on them. He also commuted George Santos's sentence after 84 days, freeing him straight back to society. Meanwhile, the 19-day government shutdown drags on, freezing courts and doubling insurance premiums as the fight over Obamacare subsidies expires. ICE amps up surveillance with new spyware contracts to track faces and phones without warrants — and even ticketing legal residents for not carrying papers. ProPublica found 170+ U.S. citizens detained by ICE, some pregnant, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just bought $172M in private jets “for safety.” Elsewhere, five top universities rejected Trump's shady funding deal, the White House partnered with EMD Serono for IVF drugs at an 84% discount, and California's CalRx will sell insulin for $11 a pen. In Florida, whooping cough cases jumped 81% after vaccination rates collapsed. Overseas, Trump's meeting with Zelensky fell apart, the Gaza ceasefire collapsed, and Trump's strike on a Venezuelan boat led Colombia to accuse the U.S. of murder. Prince Andrew gave up his royal titles amid new Epstein revelations — and thieves stole the French crown jewels in four minutes flat.

Two cases. Two women. Two very different ends of the justice system — and both asking the same question: how does this happen? In Philadelphia, Ellen Greenberg was found dead with twenty stab wounds, yet her death is still officially classified as a suicide. In Florida, Donna Adelson sits in a state prison for orchestrating her former son-in-law's murder, preparing to appeal a conviction that rocked her family to its core. Both cases raise a larger truth: the law doesn't always get it right — and when it does get it wrong, it rarely admits it. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole on Hidden Killers Live to unpack the legal and moral threads tying these two stories together. From medical examiner recantations and conflicted expert testimony to the complex machinery of appeals, we look at how American justice sometimes closes ranks instead of cases. What does it mean when a city won't reverse a death ruling everyone questions? What does it say when a wealthy Florida family can still fight the system for years after a life sentence? And why do so many families — from Greenberg to Markel — feel like they're fighting not for justice, but against it? This double feature dives into the fault lines of law, power, and truth. Because when systems protect themselves more than the people they serve, everyone should be asking — what does justice even mean anymore? #HiddenKillers #EllenGreenberg #DonnaAdelson #EricFaddis #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #LegalAnalysis #TonyBrueski #DanMarkel #CrimeCommentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Disney has hiked prices again—day tickets, annual passes, parking, and even Lightning Lane. At Disneyland, parking now costs $40 a day and the top-tier Inspire Key annual pass jumps to $1,899, still with blockout dates and reservation limits. In Florida, annual passes are up as well, though one-day tickets remain steadier. Philip and Scott debate whether these moves are a strategy to manage crowd levels or a sign of the parks leaning further into exclusivity—especially as Disney faces stock pressure and boycotts. Are higher prices a reset for quality and capacity, or the next step in making Disney a luxury brand? Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

It's been another remarkable stretch in the world of courtrooms where Donald Trump's legal battles have made headlines across the country. Here we go right to what's happened for Donald Trump in the past few days and right up to this moment, September 28, 2025.Just days ago, the Supreme Court issued an order in Trump v. Slaughter—this case is all about Trump's removal of FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter without cause earlier in the year. That's significant because it challenged an almost century-old precedent from the Supreme Court's decision in Humphrey's Executor, which restricts a president's ability to remove FTC commissioners unless there's proven inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. President Trump didn't claim any of those grounds, just policy differences. A federal judge had ordered Slaughter to be reinstated. The lower court's ruling was then stayed by the Supreme Court. The justices decided, in a 6-3 vote, that Trump's action could stand, at least for now, while the case moves forward. They ordered the parties to prepare for oral arguments this December. Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, issued a dissent, pointing to the statutory protection Congress gave FTC commissioners and warning about threats to the independence of agencies like this. The implications could be dramatic if the Court ends up narrowing or overturning the protection set in 1935, potentially reshaping not just the FTC but other independent agencies.Meanwhile, Trump's legal schedule remains packed with deadlines and developments. In the D.C. election interference case, Trump has been filing motions on presidential immunity and on dismissing charges using a slew of statutory arguments. Most deadlines for pretrial filings have been put on pause until October 24, as Judge Tanya Chutkan, who returned to jurisdiction after the Supreme Court's ruling on immunity, issued a scheduling order. The battle continues over whether Trump should be shielded from prosecution for acts taken while in office. These are questions the courts are wrestling with right now, and will be through the end of this year.In Florida, the classified documents case has advanced after Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the superseding indictment, arguing that the appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawful. The government appealed to the Eleventh Circuit, and now both sides are filing briefs, with friends of the court chiming in too. Oral arguments and decisions from that appeal could affect the timeline for any trial, or even its scope.Trump is also tangled up in New York—with appeals on last year's civil fraud judgment and the criminal conviction, where Justice Juan Merchan is now weighing a motion to set aside the jury's verdict, citing presidential immunity in light of the Supreme Court's recent guidance. A decision is expected from Justice Merchan in November.In Georgia, Trump and his codefendants are pushing appeals about disqualifying District Attorney Fani Willis, and all those appeals will be heard together, with oral arguments scheduled soon at the Court of Appeals.There has even been a class action suit filed by groups like the ACLU and NAACP, following a Supreme Court decision in CASA v. Trump, challenging aspects of the Trump administration's policy actions.As you can hear, it's a legal whirlwind that touches multiple corners of the country and asks fundamental questions about presidential power, agency independence, and the limits of the law.

Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility in the Everglades has generated considerable buzz and controversy since it was first proposed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.In this episode, we sat down with Uthmeier to discuss Florida's aggressive efforts to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking, what he sees as the politicization of the U.S. census, and his investigations into surveillance technology.“In Florida, the most recent investigation we launched was into a company, Lorex. They make in-home or in-business cameras, everything from baby cams to nanny cams, doorbell cameras. … They capture the imagery of everything people are doing at home, and consumers do not know about it,” Uthmeier says.Is Florida creating a model for how America can confront its greatest vulnerabilities—and is it testing the boundaries of state power?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In North Carolina, a memorial was defaced at the UNC Wilmington campus, with the university making statements that passively endorsed the behavior and that no action will be taken. In Florida, the memorials painted at the "Graffiti Bridge" in Pensacola have also been heavily defaced over the past 24 hours, and another memorial was defaced in Arkansas as well.Pennsylvania: This afternoon multiple casualties were reported after police responded to a domestic disturbance call. 5x officers were wounded after a skirmish broke out at a rural property south of Spring Grove, with 3x officers remaining in critical condition as a result of the engagement. The suspect was recovered deceased at the scene.Overnight a vehicle ramming attack was reported at the FBI Field Office in Pittsburgh. Donald Henson was arrested after crashing his vehicle into the gates of the facility before fleeing the scene on foot. After a brief manhunt, the suspect was apprehended this morning.Analyst Comment: Though this was a targeted attack, this could be more of a case of mental illness rather than a more coherent attack. The suspect had painted statements on his vehicle, and had previously been reported for erratic behavior by family members.Arizona: A suspicious package was discovered outside the headquarters of Turning Point USA, which triggered a police response. EOD personnel were dispatched to examine the bag, which was determined to be a false-alarm.Alabama: This morning, one medevac helicopter was struck with effective Surface-to-Air Fire (SAFIRE) in the vicinity of County Road 51 in Autauga County. Local authorities arrested Peter Ellison for shooting a Life Flight helicopter in the process of responding to a medical emergency. Several rounds impacted the helicopter and one flight nurse was wounded during the attack.Washington D.C. - This morning FCC Chairman Brendan Carr made statements indicating an investigation into the ABC corporation's licensing stipulations, after comments were made during Jimmy Kimmel's show last night that falsely state that Tyler Robinson was a political conservative, and conducted the murder of Charlie Kirk as a result of conservative ideology.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: One of the follow-on effects of the Kirk assassination is the closer examination of platforms which have allowed open calls for violence over the years, with no repercussions. This is why the CEOs of Twitch, Discord, Reddit, and Steam have been requested to testify before Congress next month regarding the overwhelmingly one-sided policing of content on their platforms.Several influencers and content streamers have openly called for violence against political conservatives for many years now, breaking many of these own companies Terms and Conditions for content production. Nevertheless, the violent rhetoric has been allowed for so long, that it's shifted out of the realm of a free-speech issue, and into the territory of quite literal attack planning efforts. The White House (mostly AG Pam Bondi and President Trump himself) is doing an exceptionally poor job at describing this investigative effort, framing the issue without the nuance required to clearly state what is happening. However, as the violence from the political left has not decreased, but rather increased after Kirk's murder, this is a detail very important for risk assessment at a time where the threats are becoming increasingly more serious.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT

My week swept me from courtrooms to breaking news alerts, and each day Donald Trump's legal drama pulled me in deeper. Let's start with some of the most pivotal moments—because lately, every time Trump's name drops, a courtroom somewhere is waiting.The most dominating event on my radar was the rolling calendar of hearings stemming from the Washington, D.C. election interference case, officially known as United States v. Donald J. Trump. This case has been at the heart of debates over presidential immunity and the actions Trump took surrounding the 2020 election. After the Supreme Court's decision in Trump's presidential immunity appeal earlier this year, the case was sent back to the D.C. Circuit, with Judge Tanya Chutkan regaining jurisdiction. And believe me, every motion and hearing since has been dissected. The big focus has been on Trump's attempt to dismiss charges based on presidential immunity, with both sides trading arguments fast and furiously. According to the continually updated master calendar by Just Security, the pretrial deadlines remain largely frozen as the court sorts out immunity questions and related motions, with critical filings scheduled just weeks after what would have been the peak of election season.Yet the courtroom fireworks stretch way beyond D.C. In Florida, Trump's classified documents case—technically the Mar-a-Lago documents case—took a surprising twist over the summer when Judge Aileen Cannon granted his motion to dismiss the superseding indictment. The government reacted immediately, filing an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit, setting up more rounds of legal jousting later this year. The real point of contention here is whether Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment and funding were lawful, and as those appellate briefs keep rolling in, everyone is watching for signals about how federal judge and jury might ultimately interpret this high-stakes issue.Meanwhile, in New York, Trump's team has moved aggressively to appeal decisions from both the civil fraud and criminal election interference cases. Justice Juan Merchan, overseeing the state-level case on alleged hush money payments, is expected to issue a decision on Trump's motion to overturn his guilty verdicts based on the outcome of the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling. That moment, scheduled for just after November, could reshape not only the verdict but also set a precedent for the role of presidential immunity in state prosecutions.Add to that fresh moves in Georgia, where Trump and several codefendants continue to appeal a ruling refusing to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Oral arguments in that dispute are on the horizon too—always a reminder of how quickly these parallel proceedings can shift.It's clear that as 2025 draws on, Trump's legal fate is being shaped court by court, appeal by appeal, all of it unfolding in real time.

Today's Headlines: President Trump called for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel Monday night—then accused both sides of not knowing “what the fuck they're doing” after the ceasefire didn't immediately happen.  By Tuesday, a fragile truce emerged, though both sides warned they'd resume attacks if provoked. Trump also abruptly tweeted that China could keep buying Iranian oil—despite his prior threats—after they helped keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Meanwhile, a leaked classified report revealed that U.S. airstrikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months, not the “total obliteration” Trump implied. The White House dismissed the report as inaccurate and “demeaning.” In Florida, construction has started on a bizarre new 1,000-bed immigration detention center—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—deep in the Everglades, where escapees would allegedly face only pythons and gators. Toy prices are spiking due to tariffs on Chinese goods, rising faster than inflation. At the same time, nearly 2 million student loan borrowers may soon see wage garnishment as Trump-era loan collections ramp back up. House Democrats elected Rep. Robert Garcia as their new ranking member on the Oversight Committee, while the late Rep. Gerry Connolly's official account mysteriously posted an endorsement from beyond the grave.

While elected officials were calling for peaceful protests this weekend, one woman said they would protect communities by any means necessary.“ANTIFA just JUMPED ME.  While SPD was refusing to intervene with the riot tonight, militant Tyler Hahn and his lackeys JUMPED ME. Dealing several blows to my head. II was able to deploy pepper spray and repel them, regaining the belongings they knocked out of my pockets.”Absolutely appalled to see left-wing rioters in Los Angeles trying to set horses on fire. This act of pure cruelty is a reflection of California's failed leadership. In Florida, rioting is illegal and will NEVER be tolerated.
