Ryan Ray comes back on the show to countdown the top ten most insane bills making their way through the Florida legislature.  Trump vs. DeSantis is basically just Terminator 2.  Big ups to sound engineer Thomas Pryle for making us sound so good. 

Nathan Robinson, editor and chief of Current Affairs, does a solid job convincing Isaac to stop trolling and embrace sincerity.  Nathan's new book, Responding to the Right, provides solid, rational points against popular right-wing talking points. But is it worth engaging with people who see the world so differently? 

Isaac makes a confession.  Chris Sanders memorial.  Furry shit-talking.  And a list of all the war criminals and dictators who retire in comfort in the great state of Florida. 

Today we have Emily Kearns and Vivian Mae on the show to talk about the anti-trans movement in Florida. Under Ron DeSantis, anti-trans legislation has moved at warp speed. How do we slow it down?  Special thanks to sound engineer, Thomas Pryle, for making us sound good. 

What effect will Hurricane Ian have on the upcoming November midterm elections? Florida politicos Kartik Krishnaiyer and Ryan Ray give us a historical lesson on hurricane politics and how DeSantis fumbled the disaster, but appears to have come out ahead. Where is Charlie Crist? Has the Democratic Party of Florida let a crisis go to waste?  Make sure to check out The Florida Squeeze for all things Florida history and politics. 

*Forgive the technical difficulties this morning We interview Justin Bloom, founder of Suncoast Waterkeeper, about Florida's imperiled water post-Hurricane Ian. Chris rats out his neighbor for insurance fraud.  

Is Florida's contribution to the world of music a net negative? Does the music from our state suck beyond repair? Or do we actually make some pretty solid tunes? We have Steev Saguaro on the pod to educate us all the sounds coming out of Florida. Steev also hopelessly tries to teach Isaac how to love Miami's favorite bald guy, Pitbull.   Make sure to check out Steev's music, memorycare, over at Soundcloud. 

The boys continue their conversation with independent investigative journalist, Daniel Hopsicker. Be sure to check out Daniel's work over at www.madcowprod.com

We sit down with investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker to talk about his life and discuss his time in Venice, Florida just after the September 11th attacks. He tells us about Mohamed Atta, strip clubs and heroin busts and why you should suspicious of anyone who has a private jet. 

This week, to celebrate Isaac's favorite holiday, we talk conspiracies and why Florida has so many of them. We are joined by Ben and Erik of the Podcast For a New American Century. Their podcast forensically analyzes the events leading up to and resulting from September 11. Make sure to check them out @PNACpod on Twitter.
