Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele

Drew recaps the most powerful moments from the Charlie Kirk memorial, including Erica Kirk’s extraordinary forgiveness and Marco Rubio’s Gospel summary. Guest Erika Donalds (AFPI) tackles civics, schools, and the new “parents as fascists” narrative, plus details on the America 250 civics push. We cover Trump & RFK Jr.’s autism briefing and the hot Tylenol debate , Florida’s new violent-extremism tip portal, Michael Waltz’s UN confirmation, and a patriotic whiskey launching in Florida.

NBC’s question to Rand Paul, Dem votes on the Kirk resolution, and the DOJ “weaponization” fight. Rep. Mike Haridopolos on crime, crypto rules, and a possible shutdown. Florida headlines (Witchy Wednesday, new tip portal). Plus: Trump & RFK Jr.’s autism announcement and the Tylenol debate.

Drew unpacks the Charlie Kirk memorial—faith, forgiveness, and media backlash (Don Lemon, AOC). Elon joins Trump at the service; Erica Kirk’s powerful words. Adam Guillette (Accuracy in Media) on free speech, FCC, and the Kimmel saga—then breaking news: ABC reverses and brings Kimmel back. Plus: “Witchy Wednesday” at an FL school, a teacher probe, and Rep. Mike Waltz to the UN.

Drew reacts to Trump’s Oval Office presser on media bias, FCC licenses, Antifa talk, and Gaza questions. House Dems balk at a resolution condemning Charlie Kirk’s assassination as AOC pivots to “free speech.” NPR funding dies in the Senate, Meta’s AI glasses flop, and Pritzker’s “peacekeeper” photo backfires. Plus: Erica Kirk’s powerful tribute.

Drew breaks down ABC’s Kimmel decision, Dems’ spin, and the House vote honoring Charlie Kirk. Plus: Antifa “terror” talk, NPR funding blocked, and the viral claim that Lake Okeechobee is America’s dirtiest—fact-checked with champion angler Scott Martin. Also: Meta’s AI glasses flop, property-tax reform chatter, and a massive FL human-trafficking bust.

Drew honors Charlie Kirk with a focused look at why he resonated: unshakable faith, fearless campus debates that gave students a voice, and a mission to revive the American family. Guest Dinesh D’Souza joins to unpack Charlie’s impact on Gen Z, free speech, and cultural courage. Hear powerful campus moments (life, Constitution, economics), and a moving call to action: use your voice.

Markets rip to all-time highs (Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, Russell 2000). President Donald Trump weighs Antifa, funding probes, and flag-burning as “incitement.” On the Hill: DC’s crime label “taking property without right,” Rashida Tlaib’s “fascist” claim, and Byron Donalds’ pushback.

Drew unpacks Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite benching, D.C.’s crime spin (“taking property without right”), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s “fascist takeover” claim—then brings on China analyst Gordon G. Chang to break down Beijing’s alignment with Russia, tensions around the Philippines, and a potential leftward lurch in South Korea. Plus: Florida’s statewide crackdown on “gas station morphine” (7-OH kratom), insurance market additions, a Manatee GOP threat probe, and—yes—Ireland’s first Taco Bell.

Drew breaks down Jimmy Kimmel getting benched after his Kirk comments, D.C.’s absurd “taking property without right” crime rebrand, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s “fascist takeover” rant—and why the rhetoric matters. Plus: a Florida bear hunt lawsuit heats up; Travis Thompson (AllFlorida.org) explains the science behind harvest tags, Amendment 2, and the North American conservation model. Florida headlines, media bias, crime policy, and the Sunshine State’s outdoors—all with Drew, Big D, and Nina in the newsroom.

Drew opens with the CDC shake-up: ex-director Susan Monarez grilled on when she retained counsel and which attorneys—flagged as high-profile anti-Trump lawyers—after RFK Jr. fired her. Then, Kash Patel tangles with House Democrats (Swalwell, Schiff, Goldman) over “government gangsters,” Epstein files, FBI staffing, and viral grand-jury gotchas.

DeSantis announces Founders’ statues in Franklin/Hamilton/Madison/Monroe Counties; Byron Donalds’ DC Crimes Act passes the House with bipartisan votes.
