In today's must-watch episode, we dive into a bombshell international scandal as former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor), long-associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested in the UK on suspicion of misconduct in public office following fresh revelations from newly released Epstein files—sparking global headlines and renewed calls for accountability among the powerful. Shifting to Sunshine State developments, the Florida House has overwhelmingly passed a proposed constitutional amendment (HJR 203) that would dramatically expand and eventually phase out non-school property taxes for homesteaded properties, starting with significant exemption increases and aiming for full relief by 2037, delivering major potential tax savings to homeowners amid ongoing debates over local funding impacts. Meanwhile, the Florida Cabinet is set to consider deeding valuable state land—22 acres of non-conservation property—to support a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal at Hillsborough College's Dale Mabry campus, advancing talks for a massive $2.3 billion ballpark and mixed-use project that could reshape Tampa's sports landscape. Adding to the local intrigue, a proposed multi-berth cruise port terminal in Manatee County near the sensitive Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve draws fierce opposition, including from State Senator Jim Boyd, who has voiced strong concerns over environmental harm to pristine coastlines, drawing hundreds to rallies and highlighting tensions between economic development and conservation. Join us as we break down these stories, their implications for Florida residents, and much more in this packed show!
