DeSantis Property Tax Bombshell: $250K Homestead Exemption to Full Elimination | Special Session Next Week | Bernie Jacques on Budget Wins & Stormwater Relief | Florida's Voice with Drew Steele

Governor Ron DeSantis announces a special legislative session to tackle Florida’s crushing property taxes — raising the homestead exemption to $250,000 (zero taxes for ~60% of homeowners) and phasing toward full elimination up to $500K for over 90% of residents. Drew Steele breaks down the plan, local government protections, trust fund details, and what it means for homeowners, seniors, and first-time buyers. Florida State Representative Bernie Jacques (District 59) joins the show: $6.8M secured for Pinellas County stormwater drainage, flooding fixes, lift stations, and a new law enforcement training facility. He discusses proactive infrastructure, post-hurricane lessons from Helene & Milton, and fighting for constituents. Trump Cabinet highlights: Scott Bessent on falling oil prices below pre-Iran conflict levels, Marco Rubio on 20 third-country deportation deals and Venezuela/Cuba updates, and DHS plans to block international flights into uncooperative sanctuary cities. Plus: Jill Biden admits she thought Joe was having a stroke during the 2024 debate, DNC drama with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, James Talarico’s radical clips (God is non-binary, vegan campaign in Texas), Ken Paxton’s big win, and feel-good Florida moments including a genius DIY lawnmower tent. Unfiltered conservative commentary, Florida-first news, veteran support, and constitutional republic defense.
