Drew opens with breaking updates from Utah: County Attorney Jeff Gray formally charges suspect Tyler Robinson with seven counts in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering—with the death penalty (firing squad) on the table. We review the DA’s text-message evidence (the note under the keyboard, “some hate can’t be negotiated out”) and the media’s awkward reactions, including ABC and CBS having to acknowledge political motive.
In Florida headlines, Drew covers the Palmetto Bay council’s censure of Steve Cody over a vile post and an FGCU vigil for Charlie Kirk that organizers say was pushed off-campus before a late “exception.” Then: a feisty sit-down with Florida’s CFO Blaise Ingoglia on Orange County’s ballooning budget—Drew presses on “fuzzy math,” population vs. spending, and how to deliver real property-tax relief.
On Capitol Hill, Cash Patel tangles with Senate Democrats (Hirono, Booker, Blumenthal, Schiff) over FBI hiring standards (pull-ups at Quantico), transparency, and whistleblower claims tied to alleged DOJ/FBI scrutiny of conservatives (nicknamed “Arctic Frost”). Plus: Florida headlines on an ICE officer injured during a chase involving an illegal alien, and a quick note on homeowners insurance rankings amid Florida’s affordability crunch.
