Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele

Florida early voting numbers are moving hard in the Republicans’ favor on Day 3. According to Florida’s Voice turnout tracker and polling analyst Eric Daugherty, the GOP has opened a 12.3% early-voting edge and a statewide 4.3% lead after netting another 10,000 votes over Democrats this morning. Mail ballots still lean Democrat (as expected), but in-person early voting is delivering the red counties. Track every county in real time at flvoicenews.com.Drew Steele and the Florida’s Voice team break down why this election still matters more than ever. Tulsi Gabbard’s clear message: voting is both a right and a responsibility. Sitting it out (or voting for the other side out of spite) means you forfeit the ability to hold leaders accountable. The show calls out so-called “conservative” influencers pushing David Jolly or Angie Nixon over Byron Donalds and Ashley Moody—exactly the kind of self-sabotage that hands power to Democrats who won’t listen once elected.Also covered:
Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa (Espinoza) arrested on grand theft and organized scheme to defraud charges tied to $50,000 in COVID business-boost funds linked to family businesses. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, CFO Blaise Ingoglia, and FDLE announced the first- and second-degree felony charges. Public corruption accountability in action.
Ilhan Omar sighting after the raid reports, passport issues, and DNA-testing talk. She’s back on camera fundraising and framing everything as Trump “intimidation” ahead of the midterms. The meme response was immediate.
Non-citizen voting and election integrity: Harmeet Dhillon’s 60 Minutes appearance gets the Florida’s Voice treatment. “Very few” and “only 13 people” is the same line used for years—while past administrations (including Obama in 2016) told undocumented immigrants they could vote without consequences. States still blocking voter-roll access raise obvious questions.
Fentanyl deaths in Florida down nearly 60% (from ~5,000 in 2023 to ~2,000 in 2025). Governor DeSantis’s SAFE program, nearly 3,000 related arrests, and major drug seizures. Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey joins to discuss the drop, why Florida cannot afford David Jolly as governor, the Wheel of Fugitives program, Halloween safety, and the “no more warnings” I-95 enforcement that has already written more than 5,000 tickets.
Plus a UNF poll showing Byron Donalds narrowly leading David Jolly (49-47) and Ashley Moody ahead of Angie Nixon (49-45), a quick look at past polling misses, and the usual Florida’s Voice mix of straight news and unfiltered commentary.

Drew Steele reacts to violent unrest in France (and similar scenes in Italy) that President Trump has tied to mass migration, jihadists, and communists who reject Western civilization. He contrasts Trump’s warning with the media’s response — including CNN’s Abby Phillip calling violent revolution “one of the most French things ever” and outlets describing the riots as “mostly peaceful” despite burned buildings and widespread destruction.The episode digs into explosive reporting from Data Republican on former USAID officials and groups under the United Democracy Alliance. Audio and documents show discussions of creating a “legitimacy crisis,” a “refounding moment,” structural transformation of American democracy, and coordinated plans (including situation rooms and state-level resistance to National Guard deployments) to capitalize on potential post-midterm chaos. A new Washington Post story about national security officials privately advising states on possible Trump election interference is also examined.Drew’s Top Five audio clips of the day include JD Vance clarifying the fraud whistleblower program, Elissa Slotkin’s comments about using lawfare to deter young people from working in a Trump administration, Abdul El-Sayed’s claim that the Second Amendment only covers muskets, and a powerful statement from Amy Acton’s mother (Ohio gubernatorial race) saying her daughter is a liar about her childhood. Additional coverage looks at El-Sayed’s campaigning in Michigan and lighthearted (or not-so-light) cultural moments.Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele — unfiltered analysis of the midterms, immigration, media narratives, and the left’s longer-term plans.
 

With midterms just two weeks away, Drew Steele digs into the latest polls claiming Democrats are ahead in key Senate toss-ups and the Florida governor’s race — and why the pattern looks familiar. He points to past misses (Alaska and Maine 2020) where Republicans outperformed the numbers, questions whether some polling is designed to suppress turnout, and directs listeners to the real-time Florida’s Voice 2026 General Turnout Tracker at flvoicenews.com. A new N+ Univision/YouGov poll shows Byron Donalds leading David Jolly 50-42 in Florida.The show also covers WNBA teams (Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries) walking off the court before the national anthem for the second straight game, plus the league’s confirmation to Congress that biological males are ineligible to play. Other segments examine the Revolutionary Communists of America’s Marxist “school” events focused on revolutionary strategy, and Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s comments about using lawfare so young people will avoid working for a future Trump/MAGA administration — with her deflection to the earlier “refuse illegal orders” video.Florida news includes House Oversight questions about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s financial disclosures tied to her husband’s winery, early voting updates, and Sen. Rick Scott’s meetings in Greece on NATO and energy. GOP congressional candidate Dan Green (FL-09) joins to discuss his campaign against the incumbent, voter concerns on affordability, showing up in the district, the farm bill, and gas prices. Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushes back on critics of talking with Russia and China, arguing nuclear powers communicating is basic diplomacy. The hour closes with a wild gas price war in Marietta, Georgia that briefly drove prices under a dollar a gallon.Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele — honest conservative talk, midterm analysis, and no spin.

President Trump announces the new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, directing Americans to fraud.gov to report corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars — with the president stating whistleblowers can earn a 1% commission on recovered funds. Drew Steele and the team break down the announcement, Vice President JD Vance’s clarification that most federal fraud falls outside the False Claims Act, and the implications for independent journalists and everyday citizens rooting out waste (including high-profile cases like those highlighted by Nick Shirley).The episode then turns to the major debanking scandal. OCC findings confirm that major banks denied services to conservatives, MAGA supporters, and certain lawful businesses under the previous administration due to political views, “reputational risk,” and ESG pressures. Heritage Foundation Chief Economist EJ Antoni joins to explain why this was government regulator interference — not a free-market failure — how banks quickly tried to win clients back once the pressure eased, the Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling against such forced discrimination, and why Congress must permanently ban the practice. The discussion expands to how heavy regulation in healthcare, housing, and education fuels young people’s frustration with “capitalism.”Also covered: New Florida governor’s race polling showing Republican Byron Donalds leading Democrat David Jolly; AI-altered video controversy involving a Washington County candidate and an upside-down American flag; Gov. Ron DeSantis’s rapid approval of over $4.5 million in zero-interest emergency bridge loans for Panhandle small businesses recovering from the hurricane; plus brief Florida news headlines and Tampa Bay Rays World Series talk.Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele — conservative analysis, unfiltered.

GOP congressional nominee Ryan Elijah (Florida’s 7th District) joins to discuss the comments, his campaign’s strong early-voting performance, Hispanic outreach, independent voter conversations, and contrasts with his opponent regarding Chinese-linked investments and positions on gender reassignment surgery for minors. Elijah emphasizes solutions-focused messaging and the need to finish strong in the final weeks.The show also addresses former President Barack Obama’s statement defending Rep. Ilhan Omar amid investigations into her immigration and naturalization history, with Drew listing multiple Obama-era examples of government targeting of conservatives (IRS, Fast and Furious, Russia collusion dossier, etc.).Additional coverage includes:

Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele covers timely health policy, election integrity concerns, and Florida political news.The episode opens with the news that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss the remainder of the season due to blood clots. Drew brings on Doug Atkins, founder of Emily’s Promise, whose daughter Emily Adkins died in 2022 at age 23 from a preventable blood clot after surgery and an ankle injury. Atkins details Florida’s first-in-the-nation Emily Atkins Family Protection Act (passed unanimously and signed by Governor DeSantis), which mandates blood clot risk screening at hospitals with emergency rooms, staff training at nursing homes and hospitals, informational requirements for assisted living facilities, and the creation of a state blood clot registry. He highlights study data showing tens of thousands of emergency visits, high readmission rates, elevated risks after orthopedic surgery and childbirth, and the importance of patients asking “What’s my blood clot prevention plan?” before discharge. Listeners are directed to EmilysPromise.com for the Caprini risk score and additional resources. Oklahoma has since passed nearly identical legislation.The show also examines Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, including questions about his family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, past statements, dual citizenship references, and his refusal to clearly disavow the group during a confrontation with a voter. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s framing of such questions as primarily about race is discussed, along with broader concerns about dual loyalty, Sharia compatibility with the Constitution, and campaign funding.Additional headlines include President Trump’s executive order creating a new women’s health division at the NIH (with First Lady Melania Trump outlining research priorities), Attorney General James Uthmeier’s state arrest warrant for Raul Castro related to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, and Byron Donalds contrasting Florida’s strong anti-riot laws with ongoing violence in France.Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, joins to critique Democrat candidate David Jolly’s proposal for government takeover of hurricane insurance, noting historical patterns of higher costs when government expands into markets (Obamacare example), Florida’s tort reform successes in lowering insurance costs, the taxpayer protection pledge, and the need for tighter limits on local government spending and property taxes (Arizona model).

Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele breaks down the weekend’s major stories, focusing on the escalating unrest in France, far-left organizing in the U.S., and key Florida political developments.Drew and the team examine the France protests that began over government cuts but quickly turned into widespread looting, arson, destruction of historic buildings (including a town hall dating to 1883), and selective targeting of businesses. Reports and video show Palestinian flags, hammer-and-sickle imagery, organized delivery of projectiles, and claims that some businesses were spared because they were aligned with “the resistance.” French President Emmanuel Macron’s response and Greta Thunberg’s public support for the protesters are discussed, along with questions about migration, funded organizing, and parallels drawn by commentators like Asra Nomani to far-left networks operating in Europe and the United States. Concerns are raised about whether similar tactics could appear in American cities after the midterms, referencing statements from DSA-aligned figures and observers tracking potential post-election activity.In Florida politics, the show covers Angie Nixon’s campaign event at the University of Florida with Bernie Sanders and others, featuring rhetoric echoing earlier BLM-style chants (“Whose streets? Our streets”) and references to “necessary trouble.” Nixon’s prior arrest at the Florida Capitol (trespassing and related charges) is revisited. The episode also highlights a new Florida House Republican Campaign Committee ad targeting Democrat House District 37 candidate Jane Eamon/Eymon, which cites her writings on witchcraft and spellcasting, socialist endorsements, opposition to school choice, and support for government-run enterprises.Additional Florida and national items include:

On this hour of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, we cover President Trump’s White House dinner with Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith, and Kid Rock, where the group agreed socialism and communism have no place in America, discussed HBCU funding (including Trump’s prior $174 million), DEI’s impact on corporate donations, and more. John Rich, Trump’s landowner envoy, details how New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) is overriding local home rule and threatening the property rights of upstate farmers and a Russian Orthodox church for green energy projects.Florida stories include the predictable Tampa Bay Times endorsement of Democrat David Jolly for governor, ongoing Hillsborough School Board race drama (and the myth of “nonpartisan” boards pushing woke policies), and Gov. DeSantis’s partnership with Emergency RVs for temporary housing for Hurricane Isaias survivors—plus ongoing recovery pods, supplies, and the emergencyrv.org application site. We also examine Senate poll aggregates that show Democrats narrowly ahead in key races but note the historical ~3.7–4 point average error, which could leave Republicans holding a 52-48 majority.Plus: more on White House Press Secretary Katie Zachariah transitioning out with no immediate replacement planned; Drew’s top clips of the day featuring Sonny Hostin’s flawed Joe Rogan border “fact-check,” Mary Peltola reading debate answers from cards, Trump defending Katie, Hillary Clinton’s popularity complaints, and AOC/Jasmine Crockett calling Elon Musk an “idiot” while his Tesla Roadster flies; Minnesota’s Peggy Flanagan vs. Michelle Tafoya debate on fraud and law enforcement; and Abdul El-Sayed’s response to JD Vance calling him a “little weasel.”

On this hour of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, we dig into President Trump’s latest comments on the Ukraine-Russia war: he wants the killing stopped (25,000–32,000 soldiers dying monthly) and has told Zelensky he can do what he wants except blow up Russian refineries—yet media and Zelensky spin continue while questions swirl about $200 billion in U.S. aid and Starshield vs. Starlink. We contrast it with 2024 Biden-era pressure on Ukraine not to strike Russian energy infrastructure over oil prices and election concerns.Republican Florida House District 100 nominee Yoni Anajar joins to discuss knocking tens of thousands of doors, non-partisan issues like property taxes and insurance, Amendment 3 tax relief, and how local conversations with Democrats often reveal shared concerns about government spending and accountability (property tax collections jumped from ~$45B to $65B).Plus: 40 Florida rabbis endorse Congressman Byron Donalds for governor; White House Press Secretary Katie Zachariah is transitioning out after less than a week; AOC claims the Trump administration is attacking women’s education while ignoring college debt realities and gender graduation gaps; congressional candidate Dan Green shares campaign momentum, law enforcement and farm endorsements, and military-backed authenticity; and Steve Hilton’s California “party blind test” shows self-described Democrats agreeing with Republican policies on gas taxes, registration fees, energy rules, and income taxes once the labels are removed.

On this episode of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, we break down the horrific Oregon elementary school shooting involving a 16-year-old shooter who killed three young children and a teacher before an armed civilian hero neutralized the threat. We examine gun-free zones, the Second Amendment, and why a good guy with a gun is often the true first responder—something many on the left refuse to acknowledge even as Oregon’s Democrat governor admitted the civilian prevented worse carnage.We also cover the rapid exit of White House Press Secretary Katie Zachariah after just one week, with President Trump indicating a transition amid media scrutiny and reports she did not pass the bar. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier expands his consumer protection probe into Performance Food Group over potassium bromate—a potentially cancer-causing additive banned in the EU, Canada, China, and India but still allowed in U.S. flour—issuing subpoenas targeting distribution to K-12 schools, restaurants, and stores as part of the Make America Healthy Again push.Plus: Elon Musk’s Tesla-SpaceX collaboration demonstrates the long-promised flying Roadster in jaw-dropping mid-air maneuvers (which leftists and Reddit moderators still try to dismiss), a new documentary claims the famous 1960s Bigfoot footage was a complete fraud, and more national and Florida headlines.
