  SEO Title: David Jolly’s School Choice Double Talk, Trump on Alaska LNG & Iran Oil, MSU Says Plant Sex Is Sexist | Florida’s Voice

  Oct 2, 202643 min

  Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele talks with Education Freedom Foundation founder Erika Donald about Democrat gubernatorial hopeful David Jolly’s school-choice record. Jolly says he supports scholarships while his own children use them, but Donald argues his push to regulate private schools and means-test Florida’s program would choke providers and shrink options—even for low-income families—in a state ranked number one in school choice for the fifth straight year with more than 500,000 students on scholarships. They also cover the federal education tax-credit scholarship in the One Big Beautiful Bill, up to $3,400 for married couples, and Randi Weingarten’s opposition despite no cut to public-school budgets. President Trump tells reporters South Korea can pay more if it walks away from the Alaska LNG pipeline, that roughly 100 million barrels of diesel are en route from Europe with no U.S. export ban, and that oil prices should fall once the Iran situation ends. Woke news of the day: three Michigan State professors claim biology textbooks are sexist for describing male pollen fertilizing female plants. Tom Homan answers Rep. Maria Salazar’s claim that ICE has gone too far, saying people in the country illegally are deportable under federal law. Drew’s Top 5 includes Gavin Newsom’s slavery-records bill, a Palm Beach Agricultural Reserve clash over an Islamic center and school, Zohran Mamdani defining socialism as government delivering a “dignified life,” and questions about Gov. Kathy Hochul appointing Letitia James special prosecutor in the Cornell case after both had already sided with the accuser. Plus Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s October military voting stand-down. Listen for Florida education freedom, election analysis, and energy news.

  JD Vance to Socialist Angie Nixon: Get Out of America | Mamdani Defines Socialism | Scott Singer vs. Moskowitz | Florida’s Voice

  Oct 2, 202643 min

  Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele pushes back on media claims that Vice President JD Vance’s Lakeland rally remarks about Democrat Senate hopeful Angie Nixon were racist. Nixon, a self-described socialist and DSA member running against Sen. Ashley Moody, was told that if she wants socialism she does not belong in America—Drew Steele walks through the clip and argues the fight is over socialism, not race, as figures like Ro Khanna reframed it around Nixon being a Black descendant of enslaved people. The show then breaks down NYC socialist Zohran Mamdani on Theo Von defining socialism as government delivering whatever you need for a “dignified life,” contrasting that with limited government and free-market capitalism. GOP congressional nominee Scott Singer (FL-25, former Boca Raton mayor) joins to discuss cutting taxes seven years in a row, crime, and red tape, and why he says opponent Jared Moskowitz backed the largest tax hike in American history, Biden-era inflation, green energy spending, and policies that hurt affordability—plus Jewish voter concerns in a heavily Jewish district and endorsements including from Gov. Ron DeSantis. State Rep. Bernie Jacques (District 59) covers Florida’s ban on local carbon-tax and EV-fleet mandates, saltwater fire risks from electric vehicles after hurricanes, the packed Lakeland rally with Vance, Byron Donalds, and Moody, and constituent town halls. Headlines include Wyman Duggan’s Jacksonville mayoral bid focused on JEA rates and waste, Sens. Rick Scott and Ashley Moody moving to block new oil and gas leasing in the Eglin Gulf test range, and the Palm Beach Agricultural Reserve meeting on an Islamic center and school. Plus Hogan Gidley on CNN arguing Democrats want higher gas prices to force a green transition. Listen for Florida election analysis, socialism vs. capitalism, and conservative news.

  Hegseth Military Voting Stand-Down, Florida Schools #1 vs. David Jolly, Letitia James Cornell Case & Palm Beach Islamic Center Fight | Florida’s Voice

  Oct 2, 202643 min

  Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele breaks down Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s order for a one-day October military voting stand-down so service members can cast ballots more easily, contrasting it with the Biden-era Lloyd Austin extremism stand-down. Host Drew Steele and America First Policy Institute State Chair Bob Rommel highlight the Heritage Foundation ranking Florida’s K-12 system number one in the nation after decades near the bottom, then challenge Democrat gubernatorial hopeful David Jolly’s plan to “transform” education, steer students back to traditional public schools, and fund a 30% teacher raise without explaining the multi-billion-dollar cost. The show also covers New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appointing Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell 7 fraternity case after both had already publicly sided with the accuser, AOC’s claims of drugging and gang rape despite no criminal charges, and broader concerns about lawfare. Florida headlines include a packed Palm Beach County Agricultural Reserve meeting where residents questioned an Islamic center and school’s approvals, outdoor call to prayer, funding, and security ties; Citizens insurance rate cuts; and Gov. Ron DeSantis cutting the ribbon on a $61 million River Road widening in Sarasota for traffic and hurricane evacuation. Plus a Europe diesel deal, Strait of Hormuz oil flow, a Texas good Samaritan returning $128,000 left at an ATM, and reaction to media framing around JD Vance and Rep. Angie Nixon. Listen for conservative Florida news, election analysis, education freedom, and military voting rights.

  Soto Most Vulnerable, Vance Backs Donalds, Pfizer Lawsuit & Oil Refineries

  Oct 1, 202643 min

  CQ Roll Call ranks Rep. Darren Soto the most vulnerable House Democrat against Republican Dan Green in a district Trump would have won by double digits. Drew Steele runs through Soto’s votes against no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security, the working-family tax cuts, and bills to stop schools from pushing gender ideology on kids without parental consent.Vice President JD Vance’s Lakeland rally clips lead the top five: he calls Byron Donalds the next governor of the free state of Florida and jokes that a fan asked if the two bearded conservatives are related. Byron Donalds says David Jolly is no moderate—he wants insurance mandates and gun control for law-abiding owners—while Florida will protect the Second Amendment. Also in the clips: Trump saying the Iran fight ends one way or another and oil prices will “drop like a rock,” and Steve Hilton confronting Xavier Becerra over 479,000 unaccompanied migrant children, including 100,000 under 10 still missing.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announces a lawsuit against Pfizer and CEO Albert Bourla, alleging deceptive COVID-vaccine marketing that claimed the shot stopped transmission, denied safety signals, and downplayed myocarditis and first-trimester risks later flagged in Fauci texts. Scott Jennings presses a CNN panel on building even one U.S. oil refinery as domestic capacity has collapsed; the host says it would not cut diesel prices tomorrow, while Middle East exports rebound toward 80 percent of pre-war levels.Harvard-Harris has the generic ballot essentially tied, and CNN’s Harry Enten notes 2024 Midwest polls understated GOP support by 5 to 9 points. Plus SpaceX Crew-13 to the ISS, Key West flooding, Trump in Dallas on the Tennessee execution and executive power, and a quick take on shoes-off houses and “career cushioning.” Florida midterms, energy, and accountability from Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele.

  Vance Endorses Byron Donalds, Calls Out Angie Nixon, AI Regulation Fight

  Oct 1, 202643 min

  Vice President JD Vance headlines a packed Lakeland rally and names Rep. Byron Donalds the next governor of the free state of Florida, praising his fight alongside Anna Paulina Luna while a light moment has Vance joking they are “second cousins.” Byron Donalds credits Gov. Ron DeSantis for keeping Florida open during COVID and warns that Democrat David Jolly wants gun-owner insurance and new gun-control laws. Sen. Ashley Moody highlights Vance as fraud czar and says Senate Democrats blocked an enforcement bill aimed at billions in taxpayer fraud.Vance also targets self-described socialist Angie Nixon, telling Florida’s Latin American immigrants who fled socialism that if those are her views she should “get the hell out.” The show plays Nixon’s comments framing for-profit prisons as modern-day slavery and arguing prisoners deserve a “high quality life.”Drew Steele and the team then dig into AI: Zohran Mamdani’s push for a K–8 generative-AI moratorium and federal regulation, versus David Sacks arguing the U.S. cannot ban capabilities China will develop and must lead with AI-powered cyber defense instead of heavy-handed rules. Headlines include Trump’s announcement of up to $200 billion in South Korean energy investment—Texas natural-gas plant, nuclear reactors, Alaska LNG—tied to data-center power demand, plus a suspended Florida insurer and a dismissed challenge to the state’s voter-verification rules.Also: the botched Tennessee lethal-injection attempt on Krista Pike after decades of appeals, why the crime details were buried in coverage, and the case for shorter appeals and alternatives to injections. Midterm polling skepticism, Yankees–Rays, and Florida marijuana politics round out the hour. Conservative Florida politics, midterms, and national issues from Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele.
