Show Notes

On this Friday edition of Florida's Voice with Drew Steele, the battle over DHS funding heats up as House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans reject a Senate "clean" bill that zeros out funding for ICE and Border Patrol enforcement while paying TSA agents. Drew calls out the Democrat gambit and Hakeem Jeffries' push, warning it's another attempt to hold government funding hostage for a radical agenda — with the Save America Act and voter ID also left on the table as Congress heads to recess.Vice President JD Vance convenes the first White House Task Force to eliminate government fraud, with Stephen Miller highlighting massive abuse in blue states like Minnesota — where SNAP (food stamps) operates on the "honor system" with zero verification, allowing lies about immigration status, family size, and more, all while hiding recipient data from federal oversight. Miller paints the picture of hardworking Americans (like linemen) subsidizing fraud while trust in the system erodes.Former Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeff Kottkamp, now President of Florida TaxWatch, joins the show for a pre-budget breakdown. He discusses House vs. Senate differences on spending ($113.5B vs. $115B+), per-student funding, the need to revisit the K-12 education model amid voucher growth and aging schools, state employee raises, "sprinkle list" member projects, and the upcoming "Turkey Report" that flags unvetted spending for potential vetoes. They also touch on property tax relief ideas without shifting burdens unfairly.Plus: President Trump comments on Tiger Woods' rollover crash and arrest on Jupiter Island (DUI with property damage and refusal of a test after a high-speed overtake on a narrow road — no injuries, but it could have been far worse). Drew's Top 5 Audio Clips include Tim Walz on "collective trauma" from ICE arrests, Chip Roy going off on Democrats blocking security, and Al Gore doubling down on climate doomsday predictions (despite past failed forecasts) while ignoring CO2 benefits for plant growth.
