Join us live from the heart of Florida's capital in Tallahassee for a jam-packed episode diving into the biggest stories shaping our state and nation! We kick off with President's Day reflections—celebrating America's leaders while noting Florida's unique move this year to grant state employees the day off in honor of the nation's 250th anniversary milestone. We break down the latest on the federal government shutdown threats and their potential ripple effects on everyday Americans and Floridians alike. Special guest Paul Renner, the former Speaker of the Florida House and a prominent Republican candidate vying for Governor in 2026, stops by to share his vision for defending Florida's freedoms, tackling affordability challenges, and building on the successes of the DeSantis era. We also shine a light on the incredible community spirit with Idlewild Church's recent Night to Shine event—a spectacular, Tim Tebow Foundation-sponsored prom that rolled out the red carpet for individuals with special needs, creating unforgettable moments of joy, inclusion, and royal treatment that proved to be a massive success. Plus, we rev up the conversation around the Daytona 500, NASCAR's iconic season-opener that continues to deliver high-speed drama, fierce competition, and timeless prestige as the "Great American Race." Tune in for insightful analysis, expert discussion, and all the Florida flavor you expect—don't miss it!
