Susan DuBose, a dedicated legislator who is making a difference in Montgomery despite the challenges of state governance. DuBose shares her journey from grassroots political engagement to the Alabama House of Representatives, discussing her commitment to stay true to her principles while navigating the complexities of legislative work.  This episode highlights DuBose's landmark legislation, including the “What is a Woman Act,” which defines male and female by biological terms to protect women's rights in sports and scholarships. She recounts the resistance faced, the need to educate colleagues, and the pivotal support from Gov.

She shares heartbreaking stories of parents sidelined by current laws, underscoring the need for common-sense legislation that prioritizes the majority while addressing exceptions.

A legal loophole exposed by a recent school threat case in Cape Coral has sparked an urgent conversation about public safety and legislative reform. When an individual made a verbal threat that was subsequently recorded and posted online, the Cape Coral Police Department was able to charge the person who shared the video, but not the person who actually made the threatening statements.In this week's episode of the Cape CopCast 'Chief's Chat,' Chief Anthony Sizemore shifts to co-host with Public Affairs Officer Lisa Greenberg. We sit down with State Representative Mike Giallombardo to unpack this critical issue and explain the path toward closing this significant gap in Florida's threat laws. We dive into how legislation actually works—the methodical, multi-layered process designed to produce thoughtful, effective laws.State Rep. Giallombardo walks listeners through the complex journey of a bill, from initial conception through committee stops in both chambers of the legislature, highlighting the deliberate "speed bumps" built into the system that prevent emotional reactions from creating problematic laws. The conversation reveals the careful balance legislators must strike: addressing genuine threats that endanger school safety while avoiding overcriminalization, particularly when it comes to young people who may say foolish things without genuine intent to cause harm.This behind-the-scenes look at government collaboration demonstrates how professional relationships between law enforcement and elected officials can lead to real-world solutions that protect communities. Listen in to gain rare insight into the machinery of government actually working as intended—identifying problems, formulating solutions, and navigating the complex path toward meaningful change.Learn more about State Rep. Giallombardo here: https://www.flhouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4783&LegislativeTermId=91

Today on the Guy Benson Show, Guy sat down with Carl DeMaio, CA State Representative, Assembly District 75, to discuss a shocking story out of the CA General Assembly. The story involves Democrats blocking a bill that would make it a felony to buy sex from a 16 or 17-year-old. The Democrats claim that the issue is because of "injustices" towards minority demographics and members of the LGBT community, and Guy and Carl discuss the absurd nature of this claim from the Democrats. The Democrats originally passed the loophole that would prevent buying sex from a minor a felony years ago, and now continue to use anti-LGBT stereotypes to block the closing of said loophole.
