On today’s hard-hitting episode of the show, we dive deep into the fragile new Ceasefire — will it actually last or is it just another temporary pause before the next explosion? We break down President Trump’s blunt message to NATO nations: “Step Up NOW” and what it means for America’s role in global defense. Back home, the Florida Legislature appears completely unprepared for a much-needed special session on the 2026 budget, leaving critical issues hanging in the balance. Joining us as our special guest is Manatee County Commissioner District 2, Amanda Ballard, who brings sharp local insight and straight talk on the challenges facing Southwest Florida. Plus, the latest 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season predictions have just been released — we’ll tell you what forecasters are expecting and how residents should prepare. Politics, policy, predictions, and plenty more — you don’t want to miss this packed episode.
