From the sudden resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to the suddenly resuscitated proposal to drill off Florida’s coast we discuss the latest local, state and federal political news with Chris Hand. Among our topics: A judge’s dismissal of two major Trump-endorsed indictments, questions about whether Alligator Alcatraz will devour the state’s projected budget surplus and concerns over the racist imagery invoked by Florida’s latest GOP gubernatorial contender James Fishback.
Guest:
- Chris Hand, government expert, attorney and co-author with the late Sen. Bob Graham of America, the Owner's Manual.
Then, what a trio of stranded astronauts tells us about the burgeoning problem of space junk. We ask our resident spaceman to help us explore the known and unknown hazards. We also trace the erratic path of light from inside the sun to the Earth’s surface — a track sometimes known as the “drunkard’s walk.”
Guest:
- Eddie Whisler, director of planetarium and outreach at the Museum of Science and History.
