Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele

JD Vance headlines a packed Lakeland rally with Sen. Ashley Moody, Rep. Byron Donalds, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna ahead of the Florida midterms, slamming Democrat David Jolly on boys in girls’ sports and gun control while the crowd boos the former Republican. Host Drew Steele breaks down the heckler who interrupted Vance—Democrat state House hopeful Ben Braver of Hillsborough, previously seen campaigning in front of a giant inflatable IUD and also disrupting a Ron DeSantis event—and why Florida Republicans say his politics don’t match the state.The show also covers the foiled suspected IRGC-linked plot at a UK airbase hosting U.S. bombers, the farmer who spotted the vans, UK officials later linking Iran, and reports that the IRGC is urging Americans to vote Democrat. President Trump’s comments on inflation, Fed interest rates, and growth get a deeper look: why Biden-era spending, not current growth, is blamed for prices, and why rate hikes could slow a fast economy.Plus Florida headlines—Ken Griffin and Gov. DeSantis touting a $2 billion Carnegie Mellon campus in Miami’s Wynwood, $85 million for I-4 lanes, and AG James Uthmeier’s lawsuit against Pfizer over COVID vaccine marketing. Accuracy in Media’s Adam Guillette joins to detail the American Psychological Association conference pushing DEI tactics into therapy and medicine, including at red-state universities. And a clip from the California governor debate where Steve Hilton confronts Xavier Becerra over hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children. Conservative Florida politics, midterms, and national security, straight from Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele.

On Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Senate Democrats unanimously vote no on a popular package pairing nationwide photo voter ID with a ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks. The House-passed bill needed 60 votes and failed 53-47. Drew and co-host D note that both issues poll around 80 percent with voters, yet every Democrat blocked them.Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia is accused by a left-leaning reporter of spending taxpayer money on “campaign ads.” The spots are public-service hurricane-prep messages from the Department of Financial Services—his actual job. Drew plays the animated PSA and calls the attack a typical smear.Congresswoman Kat Cammack’s office works with VA Secretary Doug Collins to restore funding for the Ritz Veterans Village homeless-veterans shelter in Ocala after an administrative vendor error put dozens of vets at risk.Democrat midterm rhetoric heats up: Sen. Elissa Slotkin labels Trump “the most successful corrupt leader in world history.” Sen. Cory Booker predicts Trump will try to overturn the midterms and urges supporters to “fight.” Drew contrasts that with past Russia-hoax and impeachment efforts.Attorney General Todd Blanche announces a Minnesota grand jury indicted 10 foreign nationals for illegal voting and false citizenship claims in 2022, 2024, and 2026 elections. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem adds the bigger picture: hundreds of administrative and criminal cases plus 1,600+ motor-voter fraud investigations already underway and 300,000 more queued.Drew’s Top 5 audio clips recap Marco Rubio’s National Hispanic Heritage Month remarks, investor Scott Galloway admitting he sold all stocks in 2016 over Trump and lost 40 percent of his liquid net worth, Zohran Mamdani on Jimmy Kimmel, Byron Donalds slamming David Jolly for fleeing Florida during COVID and backing Fauci, and President Trump’s account of the FlyDubai incident—an Israeli plumber who had never flown a plane ripping the attacking co-pilot from the seat and leveling the aircraft after the rudder tore off.Also: a viral “Hot Pockets have no pocket” TikTok and another WNBA player leaving the court to confront a fan after fouling Sophie Cunningham.

Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele covers a packed day of conservative news. Attorney General James Uthmeier and the Florida Cabinet designate Antifa, the Muslim Brotherhood, and CAIR as terrorist organizations under state law, cutting off contracts, campus footholds, and tax-dollar funding. Drew plays the announcement and notes the expected legal pushback from the ACLU and SPLC.At the White House National Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers a powerful reminder that Hispanic Americans love this country because they or their families know what life is like elsewhere. President Trump highlights record Hispanic Republican support, the wall that keeps “bad people” out, and the need to hold the House and Senate to stop open-border lunatics from emptying prisons worldwide.Drew and co-host D break down a critical energy chart: U.S. oil demand has soared while operable refineries have collapsed from 319 in 1980 to 130 in 2026. Pumping more crude through the Strait of Hormuz won’t lower pump prices if America can’t refine it fast enough.Democrat Jennifer Jenkins is called out for claiming Instacart hardship while collecting more than $107,000 in PAC consulting fees and candidate salaries across three federal races in nine months. Receipts are posted at FLVoiceNews.com.Economic numbers beat expectations: cooler core PCE inflation and 90,000 private-sector jobs in September. Meanwhile, California Congresswoman Luz Rivas films herself pumping $6.54 gas and blames “Trump’s war of choice in Iran.” Drew points to California’s own taxes and regulations. Senator Chris Coons recycles the claim that voter ID and the SAVE Act “disenfranchise millions.”Secretary of War Pete Hegseth launches Project Meridian, tapping Elon Musk, Oculus founder Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich to study the future of warfare.

On this episode of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, we break down the shocking FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv where the Omani co-pilot stabbed the Indian pilot multiple times, sending the plane into a terrifying dive of thousands of feet in seconds. Passengers and backup pilots helped subdue the attacker and land the aircraft safely in Saudi Arabia. While passengers described a potential hijacking and terror attempt against a plane full of Israelis, CNN, The New York Times, BBC, and others framed it as a mere “altercation,” “struggle,” or “fight between pilots.” Drew examines the community notes, real-time passenger reports, and why legacy media refuses to say the word terrorism.In Florida politics, Congressman Byron Donalds hits Democrat David Jolly for leaving the Free State of Florida for Pennsylvania during COVID, praising Fauci’s “unimpeachable judgment,” and now running for governor. Drew contrasts DeSantis-era openness with Jolly’s record and asks whether anyone who chose Fauci over Florida deserves to lead the state.Senator Ron Johnson’s Capitol Hill roundtable on COVID hospital protocols brings firsthand accounts of patients denied food, water, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine. A Florida doctor describes patients who lived after receiving those treatments and others who didn’t.James Madison Institute president Bob McClure joins to explain Florida’s 2026 constitutional amendments, with a deep dive into Amendment 3: raising the homestead exemption to $150,000 then $250,000, indexed to inflation.

Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Zach Smith joins Drew Steele to unpack three legal bombshells. The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed the Trump administration to resume third-country deportations after lower courts blocked them. Next week the Court returns for oral arguments following its “long conference,” with live petitions on Ten Commandments in schools, religious land use, and parental rights.On the Lindsay Clancy retrial, Smith says attorney Kevin Reddington’s shift—from an insanity defense to claiming there was “no investigation” and that Clancy’s guilt is no longer conceded—is legally shaky. Clancy already admitted killing her three children at trial and in civil filings. Reddington’s TV comments and breadcrumbs that identified the holdout male juror raise ethics concerns, may invite a Massachusetts bar review, and will make seating a fair jury much harder.Jack Smith’s Capitol Hill appearance is framed as doubling down, not walking back. Smith obtained members’ phone contents and PIN/toll records, then sought gag orders so carriers could not tell lawmakers their data had been taken—cutting off their chance to challenge it under the Speech or Debate Clause. Whistleblower material also shows 4,782 personal checks from Trump and Trump-aligned donors. Smith still defends the Mar-a-Lago classified-documents case and says he would bring similar charges again. Senator Eric Schmitt confronted him with texts suggesting Smith was in Atlanta at a Warriors-Hawks game the day after Fani Willis and Nathan Wade’s affair became public; Smith denied meetings and the game. Senator John Kennedy used tooth-fairy/Easter-bunny questions to expose Smith’s evasion on whether only Republicans’ records were targeted.Steele also details America.gov: 29,000 federal sites in one AI-powered portal that does not store personal chats, searches only government databases, and lets users change a name after marriage, apply for a passport with a phone photo, enroll in Medicare, check student loans, and handle USPS and VA tasks—undercutting a common argument against voter ID. Also in the hour: Ron DeSantis’s $8.5 million Turnpike plaza upgrades, Kamala Harris word salad, Bill Gates calling AI “the most dangerous thing humans have ever gone near,” and Elon Musk arguing jobs evolve rather than simply vanish.

Drew Steele covers President Trump’s White House gathering with Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders as AI is officially rebranded “super intelligence.” Steele contrasts that optimism with Bill Gates telling Ezra Klein AI is “the most dangerous thing humans have ever gone near” and could kill millions—after Gates reportedly told Trump the opposite the day before. Also discussed: oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz, America’s shortage of refineries, Iran’s rejected deal, and Trump’s comments on Kim Jong-un’s nuclear arsenal.Florida’s governor race takes center stage. Byron Donalds, campaigning with running mate Brian Avila, vows no Sharia law and no compromise, calling out David Jolly’s late conversion to the Democratic Party in April 2025—six weeks before filing. Steele and caller Cape Sean of Cape Coral debate whether the GOP “left” Jolly (Bush-era/never-Trump lane) or Jolly simply flipped for votes. Steele argues a former Republican who now aligns with positions on the DSA and child medicalization isn’t being honest with voters.In court news, Lindsay Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington appears after the mistrial and shifts from an insanity defense to claiming there was “no investigation” and that her guilt in the deaths of her three children is no longer conceded. The judge, tired of delays and juror-related comments, sets November 2 to schedule a retrial. Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Zach Smith is slated next hour on Clancy, Jack Smith, and Supreme Court developments.Headlines include Trump’s executive order creating America.gov as a single portal for federal services (passports, Medicare, and more), DHS warning a migrant caravan not to expect entry, Florida’s new history-themed Real ID licenses, and a DHS Inspector General finding of a 40% failure rate in Afghan asylum vetting after the Biden withdrawal. Light beats include a mariachi-band national anthem at the Bears-Eagles game.

Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele breaks down Jack Smith’s Capitol Hill testimony and whistleblower revelations: the former special counsel subpoenaed communications from 18 media outlets, hundreds of Republican groups and individuals, 87 Trump White House phones tied to 44 members of Congress, and 4,782 personal checks from everyday Americans who donated to Trump and aligned groups between 2019 and 2023. Steele argues Democrats face no consequences for lawfare while Smith still pushes the 2020 election and Mar-a-Lago classified documents narratives.Florida State Representative Judson Sapp (District 20 — Clay, Putnam, St. Johns, and Marion counties) joins to defend Amendment 3, the push to slash or eliminate property taxes. He calls fear-mongering about collapsing police, fire, and services un-Republican big-government talk and says lawmakers can write implementing language and fix problems after passage. Sapp also endorses Byron Donalds for governor over David Jolly, praising Donalds’ policy focus and grassroots campaigning.The show covers President Trump’s White House meeting with Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders, the official rebrand of AI as “super intelligence,” self-regulation versus DOJ oversight, and data-center debates in Florida communities. Also featured: the launch of America.gov — a single portal for 29,000 federal sites, including easier passport services — plus Florida headlines on Randy Fine’s call regarding Motaz Azaiza, campaign finance records on Democrat Jennifer Jenkins, and more than 4,500 acres of farm and ranch land permanently protected from development.

President Trump highlights the largest steel plant in U.S. history coming to Iowa, a booming economy, doubled 401(k)s, record investment, and a historically secure southern border—then pushes back on reporters who say voters no longer care about the border. Drew Steele plays video of a large new migrant caravan leaving Honduras and heading through Mexico toward the U.S., asking whether Democrats’ midterm hopes are already being signaled south of the border.The show contrasts that with a foiled terror plot near RAF Fairford in the UK (home to U.S. bombers). Five men were arrested under the Explosives Act, then released on bail—fueling debate over open-border consequences.Lee County Property Appraiser and former state representative Matt Caldwell joins to break down Amendment 3: why it’s only a B-minus, what was left on the table for local governments, the risk to small rural counties, and why the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission will be back in 2028 either way.Caldwell also addresses the October 1 Florida law changes, including the final jump to a $15 statewide minimum wage from John Morgan’s 2020 amendment—and why raising the wage floor has not helped the workers it was sold to help and has instead driven up the cost of gas, groceries, and fast food.Plus: Title IX rolled back to 2020 rules, an unlicensed Destin-area insurance scam, MAGA turnout matching Democrat enthusiasm in new polls, Ro Khanna talking third impeachment, Tom Suozzi calling mass legalization his top goal, Byron Donalds’ new ad on David Jolly and Deepwater Horizon, and a California paddle-boarder attacked by a sea lion.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.

President Trump announces Mesabi Metallics will build the largest steel plant in American history in Iowa — a $15 billion project tied to a $2.5 billion Minnesota iron ore mine — crediting 50% steel tariffs for bringing production home and ending reliance on Brazil and China. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explains how the tariffs are driving investment and jobs after years of manufacturing decline.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier seeks a temporary injunction against OpenAI and ChatGPT, demanding independent safety guardrails, an end to child data harvesting, and a ban on marketing the tool as safe or human-like to minors.
