Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is Florida's news that impacts you. On the Brian
Mudd Show.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, Brian Mud, Joel Malkinn with you as we continue
to have just absurdities that are reported coming out of
Alligator Alcatraz by the Democrats who visited on Saturday, and
just some of the worst reporting I've ever come across locally,
at the state level, nationally. He had Florida's Emergency Management

(00:29):
Director Kevin Guthrie on with Jesse Waters last night.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
This was pretty instructive.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I thought, either the national standard or the State of
Florida's standard, whatever is a higher level, we meet or
exceed that standard.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Have you heard that reported anywhere? It's curious. No, uh huh.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Whatever the highest possible standard is, we exceed that. And
then remember had some people, oh people are sick and
this and that.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Uh huh, listen to this nonsense.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Probably one of my favorites was an individual had a thermometer,
an infrared thermometer that they actually pointed out a light
bulb and it was one hundred and ten degrees and
it was I knew it was one hundred ten degrees.
I said, let's actually pull that down to where the
ambient ara.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Is at now hold out the possibility that member the
Democrat members of Congress that already have their talking points
going into this thing that they don't know they aren't
smart enough to know and formed enough to know that
at one hundred and ten y're dead. So there's that
a little owed them. But here it's not even the
face value situation. You know what gets me there? This

(01:30):
is just how abused these people actually are. They are
being given infrared thermometers. Boy, it must just really be.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Saving people.

Speaker 2 (01:43):

First Liberty Institute's for Religious Liberty in the State's Index.

of religious liberty protections across all fifty states. In response
story to press conference on Monday, Governor DeSantis said Florida
holds several number one rankings, leading the nation in education,
the economy, and tourism. Now Florida number one in religious liberty.

(02:07):

Religious liberty critical to the foundation of function of America.

Department of Finance Corporation. According to Brightline, the payments to
investors will be late as opposed to SKIPT, so we'll
