This is video from yesterday in new york where hundreds of 450 people marched to protest the president elect. Two other protests were held in the seattle area. One of them brought out 3,000 people forming a human chain. One person protesting Donald Trumps<\/a> election bucs wide receiver mike evans. Before last sundays game, he took a seat on the bench during the National Anthem<\/a>. Criticism came from fans swiftly. And two days later, he had a change of heart. He released a statement saying, to the u. S. Military members, their families and the fans who i offended by my actions sunday. He went on to say, this sunday i will be back standing with my teammates and on wednesday, he talked to reporters. It wont happen again. I know i hurt a lot of people by doing what i did. So i want to apologize again to the people that were really affected by what i did. And to the people that are disappointed in my decision to from now, dont worry, i will use my voice and my platform, you know, for minority tithes. Minority rights. This week, a senator called the protest a slap in the face saying he would not attend another bucs game until he apologizes. Thank you for coming in. Thank you. What was your reaction . Well, i thought it was very disrespectful, not only to the flag bu know, we have 130,000 veterans in the tampa bay area. We have 12,000 active military service members. It was veterans Appreciation Day<\/a> at the bucs game. And i just thought it was very disrespectful. With you to me, its now. The young man did the right thing. When i was 23 years old, probably when i was 63 years old, i said a lot of dumb apology in a moment. But one thing that stuck out was the fact that he did not vote. The protest against a president that you did not vote against or for. What did you think of that . Well, again, hes 23 years old. And you know, some of us have been in the political game for a while, probably wouldnt have said something we knew would come back to haunt us because we hadnt voted. Hes not a political guy. He said that. On sunday, he said that. Make a statement. And theres 18 members of the nfl so far that have done things like that. So its not just him. And you would say, many would say and argue that the American Flag<\/a> and america is about standing up for what you believe in, if thats the case. What is the right way for someone like him, if he disagrees with the election of donald trump to speak out . Well, you know, it is his right. And i acknowledge that in my first statement, that he had a but so do i. And i have a right and all those bucs fans who disagree with him have a right to spend our money, spend our time doing what we want to do. He should be a role model. Someone i mean, all those kids on the sidelines look up to him. And what kind of an example is that setting . You know, yeah, you protest by voting. You protest by giving money to candidates you know, theres disrespecting our flag and National Anthem<\/a>. I guess some would say he is using the ability he has to stand up and make a statement. Like you said, theres others like him who have done something similar. Can you separate the fact that its not a protest against the flag or the United States<\/a> . Well, he could have been on the front row at a local protest that have been held. In st. Petersburg, they had a march or two. Marching on the front row of that. And that would have been perfectly okay and perfectly logical. But at the game, on the payroll and the teams time that we as fans pay for, i just thought it was inappropriate. All right, all is well now. He has apologized and says he will stand later on today. And im sure hes a fine young man and going to root for him. Go bucs.

Everyone wants a new perspective right now. And as you said with donald trump and Bernie Sanders<\/a>, thats the thing thats going on. And people are really interested in having someone in there who is going to shake things up or look at things differently and try to get the issues fixed. And you talked about issues.

One large rutabaga, with eggplant. Done thats not fair. Glad i had a v8. The original way to fuel your day. Welcome back. The people spoken. Medical marijuana will soon be legal in limited situations. But now state lawmakers must decide how to regulate it. Currently, there are six licenses producing the drug in florida. And theres more waiting to see how it unfolds. Those who believe it will be a help believe the sooner the better. I know a few people that are dieing from cancer. And they cant eat. And they cant move. Its this, the marijuana. If they patrol it good, it will be good. But if they dont well, this morning, i am joined by dr. George of the largo clinic and med spa. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. Youre one of the first in the state to offer medical marijuana exams. And i understand, theres one particular story with a patient that got you very involved and interested in medical marijuana. Tell us about that. Yes. We do a fair amount of Pain Management<\/a> in the clinic. And one patient who is a patient was injured in a chamber accident. And had to undergo multiple joint replacement, knee, arms, elbows, and was wheelchair bound. She was on narcotics. Went to colorado on her own and came back walking and handed back her medications. And that made me a believer. And you offer exams and you were telling me, have you been getting calls . We have been Identity Theft<\/a> what exact conditions . People need to know this, what conditions qualify . Until the election on the 8th, the only conditions that qualified were seizure, cancer and spasms. After the election on the 8th, the amendment 2, debilitating conditions now qualify. And that started off with being aids, multiple and low row sis but now anything a ys benefit from. And have you written many prescriptions so far . Well, its not prescriptions theyre orders but yes, we have. And break down the process. Say you write me a prescription, how long before i have access. We have to the make contact. And after that contact, we have to wait 90 days. You go to the dispensary, theres three now in florida. One in miami, theres two in tallahassee. And then with the identification or your number, they look you up and proceed from there. And they talked about lawmakers regulating this. What changes do you expect to see if any . Do we have to wait 90 days . And love with hockey whether the lawmakers expand the perimeters of the conditions that they have approved. And its easy to say, we have post traumatic sin dome, okay, does depression count and guidelines. So the difference between statutes and actual patient care. Do you see that this i know people who were against the amendments, they were saying this would be the gateway to marijuana becoming legalized for recreation here in florida. Do you see that happening . I dont. No. Theyre pretty strict with the guidelines now. And theres going to be marijuana no matter what. And its better i think that its controlled rather than clinic. Its been busy. And people have been coming in with conditions that dont fit. Tell me about that. Folks that are 18 years old and they claim, wheres my card . And they are looking for not what the intent of the law is. Or they say they have anxiety but no proof. So saying one thing and having proof of it are two different things. This is a talker and we will come back again and again, im sure over us. Pleasure. Thank you. Is the state of florida breaking the law . Selling your drivers license information . Coming up, the request senator bill nelson is making and why tampa bay is amazing. I work here, i raise my kids here, i even take care of my mom here. But you know what . I could use a hand. Hey we hear you its why aarp is supporting family caregivers like you with free tools and resources. And were making our community an even better place to if you dont think this is right for me when you think aarp, then you dont know aarp. Finally this morning, senator bill nelson wants a federal investigation into how florida uses your drivers license information. He is calling on the u. S. Attorney general to loo your information without your con spent mr. Thats a violation of federal law. Not only unconsciousable but it may well be that it is illegal. Well, the dmv said the senator has it wrong and that the Florida Department<\/a> of Highway Safety<\/a> and Motor Vehicles<\/a> does not sell driver or Motor Vehicle<\/a> information. They went on to point out that information like Social Security<\/a> numbers, driver licenses or identification card numbers, names, addresses, telephone numbers and much more.
