Speaker 2 (00:12):
Good morning, Chris, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
The debate over whether to redraw the state's congressional maps
is definitely intensifying. In Tallahassee, a rally was held outside
the state House as people gathered to protest the move
by Republicans to change the map. Now they gathered inside
to listen to the committee talk about this, and the
chairman of the committee, Mike Rodondo, a Republican from Miami,
(00:37):
said that the work on the committee was not directed
by the work of other states or partisan gamesmanship, and
that led to laughter and.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Years, you mean you mean that reaction I just had.
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, it had nothing to do President Trump and his
post on social or Governor DeSantis calling for redistricting. They're
they're they're purely out of the best interests right state.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's interesting though, because you have the House, they're trying
to do things one way. You've got the governor he
wants the redistricting done a different way, and then you
get the Senate kind of sitting there saying, we're a
little bit more in line with the governor, but we're
not really getting involved right now.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The bottom line, though, is that none of those people
have a plan yet, No nobody has a map. And
part of the problem is there's major infighting going on
amongst the Republicans, including the Speaker of the House, the Senate,
President Yep, Governor DeSantis, even President Trump to some extent
from the outside because people who are representatives in state
government and in Congress, they fight very hard to get
(01:43):
those districts locked down. When you start redistricting, you're bringing
in voters from other places that they don't necessarily have
a familiarity with and don't have the fundraising to cover,
and it requires a whole new different kind of campaigning,
and a lot of them don't want to give up
the security of their current districts.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, and I mentioned this when we were talking about this.
You know, your goal, if you're the Republicans, is to
create more Republican districts in the state. But in order
to do that, you're gonna pull away a little bit
from some of the districts you already control, you.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Have to spread them more thinly exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And the concern I would think going into twenty twenty six,
and look, the midterms could go a number of different ways,
but just based on what we've seen and historical precedent,
Democrats are probably going to do well. So if you
take a district that's say plus fifteen Republican and now
it's plus nine plus eight, well, in a wave of election,
(02:41):
that could fall. And when you take a look, when
you step back and do a thirty thousand foot view,
look at this whole redistricting battle, and you have the
Supreme Court yesterday ruling the Texas can use the new
congressional maps that they put together, which could help them
add five seats in Congress. But when you take a
look at all of it, Texas, California, you know, some
(03:04):
of the other states that have done this, I think
political report had it at a Republican advantage of half
a seat.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Like, it's not moving the needle very much well at all.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I think Florida Republicans are paying attention to concerns out
of Texas. So they already passed their redistricting map and
they moved. They essentially packed a number of districts with
Hispanic voters who voted for Trump in the election, and
it's not clear if those voters are going to stay
loyal to Trump right in the midterms because you know,
the actions of ice, the economy, inflation, all the things
(03:39):
that people are concerned about, and that could backfire on them,
and they don't want to do that here in Florida.
So that's why there's a lot of debate about it.
It's not to say that they won't redistrict for the
mid terms. It's just a question of how whose way
is going to pass. Its going to be the House,
Senate or the governor.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And that's just add that to some of the big
issues they're going to be battling about. It's going to
be a contentious session, property taxes, and a whole lot more.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
So I'd be very clear they're not there because of
any kind of boss and ship or pressure from outside groups.
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety release their annual report
this week, ranking all fifty states according to driving regulations
and laws.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The state of Florida had three thousand fatalities last year
caused by accidents that the group says could have been prevented,
and as a result, Florida is now a caution state
according to their survey. The National Advocates for Highway Safety
say that they're trying to reduce fatal car accidents in
Florida is coming up short in several areas.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The state enacted four of the eighteen laws that the
group suggested, but they still have a ways to go
on things like teen driving rules, child passenger safety, seat
belt and helmet laws. And they want more booster seats
and children sitting in the back seat up until age twelve. Yeah,
I don't know about that young kids, so no, they're
(05:01):
not that young. Oh it used to be in car seats.
Well from what we read. Yeah, the longer they're in
those is the safer they are. Yeah, they don't like
to be in the car set. They want to be
in the front seat. Yeah, as soon as possible. And
you know, the idea of keeping them in booster seats
until age twelve maybe a little difficult to do if
you have kids that age, because right, they're not going
(05:22):
to want to do it, and they're certainly not going
to want their friends to see them exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Now, this report seems to be at odds with the
other one that I talked to Natalie about earlier in
the show, the lending Tree report that said Florida has
the second best drivers in the country. Now, this is about,
you know, broader safety, but it does highlight how many
traffic debts we have here in this state, accidents, things
like that. I don't know who in the world at
(05:47):
lending Tree came up with Florida being the second best
state in the country for drivers, and somebody sent us.
Somebody sent us a note a listener through the talk
back feature. You could do that whenever you want. Just
pull up your iHeartRadio app, pull up WUFLA or WIOD,
hit that microphone icon and you can record up to
thirty seconds. And they said, well, if we have the
(06:09):
best drivers in the country, hock of, our rates are
so freaking high.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
There you go, exactly right, I can't look.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
All you have to do is drive around, yeah, the
streets in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, the big cities, and you'll
see how bad the driving is.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yep, it's not hard to tell.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
So as CFO, Blaze Andngolia travels around the state auditing
local governments for overspending. A constitutional officer from Florida's most
populous county has an idea for how the Sunshine State
could save cash. The Miami Dade tax collector Dariel Fernandez
calling on state lawmakers and the Department of Highway Safety
Motor Vehicles to eliminate the physical yellow registration decal that's
(06:51):
required on Florida license plate.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Love this, love this idea.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You try to stick that thing on the license plate
and get it right on top of the one that
you had the year before.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's a pain in the ass. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
And the thing is when you go to do that,
you see how filthy. Yeah, the license plate is a
year of being on the back of your car.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So I always I always get it in the mail
and forget to put it on, so you keep getting
pulled over. No, luckily I haven't, but you know it's
usually a week or two later. I'm like, oh, yeah,
I got to put that on.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, I do it right away, because you know what
that whole thing, license and registration, because it comes with
the registration too, it's not just the yellow sticker.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But yeah, the idea is.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
That it wouldn't really, it wouldn't eliminate the vehicle registration
requirements obviously, or the cost or renew But what it
would do is, because the cops have access to a
digital database, they don't need to like get out there,
you know, telescope to see if you have the actual
correct yellow sticker on the license tag. And so this
would save the state two and a half million dollars
(07:55):
by going fully digital. So that'll the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, hey, real little bit helps And that's actually I
think a feasible, easy to implement idea.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, so that's true.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't disagree with doing that, but the idea that
that's going to save, you know, all the money that
the state needs. I mean, what did Blaze and Golia
say about Palm Beach County that you know, they're spending
like five hundred million dollars that they don't need or something.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Where are those audits, Lari're supposed to see those reports.
I believe it's been sixty days since I think there
was like a sixty day window and then they were
going to get released or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't know. We talked about that for a while. Well,
his word's good enough.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I'd like to see the report, please, Chris Trankman
with today's Top Stories.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Chris, thanks so much. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now let's get to today's top stories with Natalie Rodriguez.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
State of Florida creating an AI Bill of Right says
more and more entities are relying on artificial intelligence. Governor
Desanta says that the goal is to protect consumers from
getting scammed by deep fakes or having their name, image,
or likeness used without their permission.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We are also going to make sure that your data
is protected. We're not going to allow any state or
local government agency to utilize Chinese created AI tools.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Orlando mother Megan Garcia learned firsthand about that when her
fourteen year old son Seul shot himself in the head
after she claims that he was prompted by Character AI.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
This chatbot encouraged school for months to final way to
come home and made promise that it would be waiting
in some fictional world.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
She's suing Character AI for negligence, wrongful death, and intentional
infliction of emotional distress and other claims. Now, it sounds
really good in theory, but how exactly are they going
to enforce this and is it going to be retroactive
and does it. You know, I just don't understand how
this Bill of Rights is going to do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well. We also have a situation where you've got the
Trump administration telling states don't enact your own AI regulations,
but you've got the state of Florida trying, at least
the governor trying to move forward with some So there's
that going on as well. Earlier in the show, I
talked to ABC News tech reporter Mike Debuski, and we
talked about Australia because Australia they're ban on teams under
(10:16):
the age of sixteen from using social media.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That is going into effects.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So the social media companies are having to figure out
how they're going to implement those kinds of changes, and
so I think when these laws get passed, there's a
big question about how exactly is it going to work?
And then, you know, I think it puts pressure, if
nothing else, on these companies to start to figure out
these safeguards because you know, when you look through what
(10:43):
the governor's trying to do, like you said, Natalie, it
all sounds really good, and it all sounds like stuff
that we need. I will say I thought that note
about protecting consumer data. Was interesting being that yesterday we
had on the state representative who had as a bill
that's been proposed for the upcoming session that reveals how
(11:05):
much our own DMV has been selling out our driver's
license data, our birthdays and all that kind of stuff.
So I would like more data protection on a number
of different fronts. But I think, you know, starting to
figure out how we're going to handle AI with social media.
We started having those fights way too late. The damage
(11:26):
was already done with their younger generation. Hopefully we can
get ahead of this, even if it's a little clunky
to begin.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
With, even ourselves.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I mean, you've got apps out there that we use
on a daily if we're you know, influencers or on
social media. Cap cut, for example. I didn't even know this.
I learned this a couple of days ago, and my
mind was blown. You sign up for cap cut to
use it for editing your audio or your your videos,
you're automatically signing away the right to your likeness.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Yes, there's a fine print that you have to go
in there and search for it. Yeah, I'm sure nobody
knows these apps you're signing away your right to your
likeness without even like blinking an eye.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and we all, we all do it. We sign
up for this stuff and we're not reading those terms.
Kidding me, I take like all destructions. We don't read
that exactly. I agree, And whatever happens happens.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right? What else is going on? Key Largo? This
is where things got heated.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
A woman detained by masked ICE agents, and it just
so happens that it was caught on video by a
Herald reporter, David Goodhugh. He actually captured the woman being
dragged from her car.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Very dramatic stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Now details are coming out by Customs and Border that
the car she was driving doesn't belong to her. It
was registered to her illegal immigrant boyfriend number one, number two.
She was detained after refusing to roll the window down.
She was stopped. She was told, roll down your window,
let's see some ID. She refused to show her driver's
license and that's when she was pulled out of the car.
(13:06):
ICE agents do confirm that she is in fact a
US citizen. It took them a few minutes to confirm that,
and once they did confirm it, she was released. Now
all of this, you're wondering, you know what happened why
her turns out they were conducting a targeted immigration enforcement
operation down in the Florida Keys, which did result in
the arrest of fourteen illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, some of them had pretty violent criminal histories. But
you know, Natalie, the headline it's a US citizen handcuffed
by ICE. I mean, that's what we're seeing all over
social media and on the news. When I saw this, Look,
if I was a US citizen and ICE heavy in
(13:48):
handk like, I wouldn't be very happy about it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But as soon as they figured out who she was,
because they don't know, as soon as they figure it
out and confirm it, they release her.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Took like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And you know, when you put yourself in that situation,
when you're in a car with violent illegal immigrants, well,
maybe don't be surprised anymore if ICE shows up and
starts arresting people and there was somebody else who was arrested.
This was out in California, but it ties into South Florida.
Mexican national with connections to a violent sex trafficking ring
(14:22):
that operated in Miami has been taken into custody by ice.
And this is one of those sex trafficking rings that
like you see in the movies and like on Law
and Order SBU. It's like a family run operation. They
target women and girls in Mexico. They lure them to
the US with these false job offers. Some of these
(14:44):
women or as their girl, they're as young as fourteen.
And then of course after they get them into the US,
they tell them how much they owe and they force
them into prostitution to.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Pay it off. Disgusting. Yeah, we've seen we've seen that
story before.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Just a note, if you get pulled over, comply with
the law enforcement agents that they're so you're asking for
your ID, give them your ID.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's a good tip, yeah, just avoiding trouble.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Three men are looking at life in prison for stealing
thousands of dollars worth of sneakers. This trio Herbert Davis
the Third, Michael McCrae, and Tyrone Howard. They were arrested
on first and second degree felony burglary charges in connection
to this fest.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
These individuals are going to be trading in there. They're
nice air Jordan's for these kicks from these and.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
They're going to be doing a significant amount of time
in our jail in prison for the crimes that they've committed.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Over seventy thousand dollars worth of sneakers take in Florid
Attorney General Jamesthmi, they're having a little fun. The sneaker
Heights apparently took place in a different stores and malls
in Georgia, Jensen Beach and Daytona Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Seventy thousand dollars in shoes. What's that like? Four or
five pairs?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Now, these are the thieves. Remember we did this story.
Happen right after the Loo heist. These are the thieves
that Louverra apparently is the I'm serious, that's the correct
way to pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I had no idea, louvra Uh. These were the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Thieves who cut through that concrete roof and dropped into
the Champs Sports store and grabbed the sneakers.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Is it Champs or is it? Oh yeah, it might
be might be shams. You're right, you're right, But these
are those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
These were the the local, like the Florida version of
the Louverra heist people. So they finally got them. They
after all of that, they finally caught them all right, yeah,
Natalie Rodriguez with today's stop stories.

But yeah, the idea is.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
That it wouldn't really, it wouldn't eliminate the vehicle registration
requirements obviously, or the cost or renew But what it
would do is, because the cops have access to a
digital database, they don't need to like get out there,
you know, telescope to see if you have the actual
correct yellow sticker on the license tag. And so this
would save the state two and a half million dollars
(07:55):
by going fully digital. So that'll the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well, hey, real little bit helps And that's actually I
think a feasible, easy to implement idea.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, so that's true.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't disagree with doing that, but the idea that
that's going to save, you know, all the money that
the state needs. I mean, what did Blaze and Golia
say about Palm Beach County that you know, they're spending
like five hundred million dollars that they don't need or something.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Where are those audits, Lari're supposed to see those reports.
I believe it's been sixty days since I think there
was like a sixty day window and then they were
going to get released or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't know. We talked about that for a while. Well,
his word's good enough.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I'd like to see the report, please, Chris Trankman
with today's Top Stories.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Chris, thanks so much. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Now let's get to today's top stories with Natalie Rodriguez.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Good morning, Natalie, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
State of Florida creating an AI Bill of Right says
more and more entities are relying on artificial intelligence. Governor
Desanta says that the goal is to protect consumers from
getting scammed by deep fakes or having their name, image,
or likeness used without their permission.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
We are also going to make sure that your data
is protected. We're not going to allow any state or
local government agency to utilize Chinese created AI tools.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Orlando mother Megan Garcia learned firsthand about that when her
fourteen year old son Seul shot himself in the head
after she claims that he was prompted by Character AI.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
This chatbot encouraged school for months to final way to
come home and made promise that it would be waiting
in some fictional world.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
She's suing Character AI for negligence, wrongful death, and intentional
infliction of emotional distress and other claims. Now, it sounds
really good in theory, but how exactly are they going
to enforce this and is it going to be retroactive
and does it. You know, I just don't understand how
this Bill of Rights is going to do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well. We also have a situation where you've got the
Trump administration telling states don't enact your own AI regulations,
but you've got the state of Florida trying, at least
the governor trying to move forward with some So there's
that going on as well. Earlier in the show, I
talked to ABC News tech reporter Mike Debuski, and we
talked about Australia because Australia they're ban on teams under
(10:16):
the age of sixteen from using social media.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That is going into effects.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
So the social media companies are having to figure out
how they're going to implement those kinds of changes, and
so I think when these laws get passed, there's a
big question about how exactly is it going to work?
And then, you know, I think it puts pressure, if
nothing else, on these companies to start to figure out
these safeguards because you know, when you look through what
(10:43):
the governor's trying to do, like you said, Natalie, it
all sounds really good, and it all sounds like stuff
that we need. I will say I thought that note
about protecting consumer data. Was interesting being that yesterday we
had on the state representative who had as a bill
that's been proposed for the upcoming session that reveals how
(11:05):
much our own DMV has been selling out our driver's
license data, our birthdays and all that kind of stuff.
So I would like more data protection on a number
of different fronts. But I think, you know, starting to
figure out how we're going to handle AI with social media.
We started having those fights way too late. The damage
(11:26):
was already done with their younger generation. Hopefully we can
get ahead of this, even if it's a little clunky
to begin.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
With, even ourselves.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I mean, you've got apps out there that we use
on a daily if we're you know, influencers or on
social media. Cap cut, for example. I didn't even know this.
I learned this a couple of days ago, and my
mind was blown. You sign up for cap cut to
use it for editing your audio or your your videos,
you're automatically signing away the right to your likeness.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Yes, there's a fine print that you have to go
in there and search for it. Yeah, I'm sure nobody
knows these apps you're signing away your right to your
likeness without even like blinking an eye.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, and we all, we all do it. We sign
up for this stuff and we're not reading those terms.
Kidding me, I take like all destructions. We don't read
that exactly. I agree, And whatever happens happens.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
All right? What else is going on? Key Largo? This
is where things got heated.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
A woman detained by masked ICE agents, and it just
so happens that it was caught on video by a
Herald reporter, David Goodhugh. He actually captured the woman being
dragged from her car.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Very dramatic stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Now details are coming out by Customs and Border that
the car she was driving doesn't belong to her. It
was registered to her illegal immigrant boyfriend number one, number two.
She was detained after refusing to roll the window down.
She was stopped. She was told, roll down your window,
let's see some ID. She refused to show her driver's
license and that's when she was pulled out of the car.
(13:06):
ICE agents do confirm that she is in fact a
US citizen. It took them a few minutes to confirm that,
and once they did confirm it, she was released. Now
all of this, you're wondering, you know what happened why
her turns out they were conducting a targeted immigration enforcement
operation down in the Florida Keys, which did result in
the arrest of fourteen illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, some of them had pretty violent criminal histories. But
you know, Natalie, the headline it's a US citizen handcuffed
by ICE. I mean, that's what we're seeing all over
social media and on the news. When I saw this, Look,
if I was a US citizen and ICE heavy in
(13:48):
handk like, I wouldn't be very happy about it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But as soon as they figured out who she was,
because they don't know, as soon as they figure it
out and confirm it, they release her.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Took like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And you know, when you put yourself in that situation,
when you're in a car with violent illegal immigrants, well,
maybe don't be surprised anymore if ICE shows up and
starts arresting people and there was somebody else who was arrested.
This was out in California, but it ties into South Florida.
Mexican national with connections to a violent sex trafficking ring
(14:22):
that operated in Miami has been taken into custody by ice.
And this is one of those sex trafficking rings that
like you see in the movies and like on Law
and Order SBU. It's like a family run operation. They
target women and girls in Mexico. They lure them to
the US with these false job offers. Some of these
(14:44):
women or as their girl, they're as young as fourteen.
And then of course after they get them into the US,
they tell them how much they owe and they force
them into prostitution to.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Pay it off. Disgusting. Yeah, we've seen we've seen that
story before.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Just a note, if you get pulled over, comply with
the law enforcement agents that they're so you're asking for
your ID, give them your ID.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's a good tip, yeah, just avoiding trouble.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Three men are looking at life in prison for stealing
thousands of dollars worth of sneakers. This trio Herbert Davis
the Third, Michael McCrae, and Tyrone Howard. They were arrested
on first and second degree felony burglary charges in connection
to this fest.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
These individuals are going to be trading in there. They're
nice air Jordan's for these kicks from these and.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
They're going to be doing a significant amount of time
in our jail in prison for the crimes that they've committed.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Over seventy thousand dollars worth of sneakers take in Florid
Attorney General Jamesthmi, they're having a little fun. The sneaker
Heights apparently took place in a different stores and malls
in Georgia, Jensen Beach and Daytona Beach.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Seventy thousand dollars in shoes. What's that like? Four or
five pairs?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Now, these are the thieves. Remember we did this story.
Happen right after the Loo heist. These are the thieves
that Louverra apparently is the I'm serious, that's the correct
way to pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I had no idea, louvra Uh. These were the.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Thieves who cut through that concrete roof and dropped into
the Champs Sports store and grabbed the sneakers.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Is it Champs or is it? Oh yeah, it might
be might be shams. You're right, you're right, But these
are those guys.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
These were the the local, like the Florida version of
the Louverra heist people. So they finally got them. They
after all of that, they finally caught them all right, yeah,
Natalie Rodriguez with today's stop stories.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
