On this Friday edition of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Drew takes on the rising push for collectivism in America — and why history, economics, and current events all point to disaster if it’s allowed to advance unchecked. As New York City’s new mayor Zoran Mamdani calls for replacing “rugged individualism” with the so-called warmth of collectivism, Drew breaks down why socialism has never produced prosperity — only control, scarcity, and suffering.

Antoni, Chief Economist at the Heritage Foundation, this episode explains:• Why rugged individualism built America — and collectivism destroyed nations• The real historical toll of socialism and communism• How failed education fuels pro-socialist thinking among young Americans• Why New York City may be forced to “learn the lesson the hard way”• Why 2026 could mirror Reagan’s 1981–82 economic turnaround• How free markets — not government engineering — fix housing affordability• Why red states are stabilizing housing while blue states collapse Drew also exposes:• Massive Minnesota childcare and welfare fraud now under federal investigation• Why the Trump administration is shutting off the funding spigot• How legacy media attacks whistleblowers instead of fraudsters• The growing link between lax oversight, taxpayer abuse, and political protection• Why voter integrity and accountability are inseparable issues in 2026

On this episode of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Drew is joined by leading China expert Gordon Chang for a wide-ranging and urgent conversation about China’s expanding global influence — and why nearly every major geopolitical threat facing the United States now traces back to Beijing. From Venezuela’s survival under Maduro to political upheaval in South Korea, Gordon explains how Chinese money, oil deals, military presence, and election interference are reshaping governments around the world — often quietly, and often before Americans realize it’s happening. This episode covers:• Why Maduro would not be in power without China• Chinese oil tankers challenging U.S. sanctions on Venezuela• How South Korea is sliding toward authoritarianism under pro-China leadership• Why South Korea risks becoming “the next Venezuela”• The sharp contrast between Taiwan’s resolve and South Korea’s political collapse• Why the idea of a U.S.–China “grand bargain” is fantasy• China’s collapsing economy, housing crisis, and ghost cities• Why China’s growth numbers don’t add up• How property collapse threatens Chinese retirees and middle-class wealth• Why China is exporting instability as its economy contracts

As Zoran Mamdani settles into office, Drew breaks down the full embrace of democratic socialism, the rejection of rugged individualism, and why media outlets are scrambling to “fact-check” what Mamdani himself has openly declared. From collectivism and state control to deleted tweets and selective outrage, Drew explains why New York City is being positioned as a national test case heading toward 2028.

On this New Year’s Day 2026 edition of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Drew opens the year with a clear warning: the mask is off — and the stakes are higher than ever. As Zoran Mamdani is officially sworn in as mayor of New York City, Drew breaks down the inauguration moment where Mamdani openly declares he was elected as a democratic socialist and will govern as one. From rejecting rugged individualism to embracing collectivism and expanded government power, Drew explains why ideology — not identity — is the real concern, and why New York is now the proving ground for a broader national strategy heading into 2028.

On this New Year’s Day 2026 edition of Florida’s Voice with Drew Steele, Drew opens the year with a stark warning about where America is headed — and why conservatives cannot afford complacency. As Zoran Mamdani is sworn in as mayor of New York City, Drew examines Mamdani’s own words pledging to govern as a democratic socialist and replace “rugged individualism” with collectivism. Drew explains why ideology — not identity — is the real issue, and why the Constitution, rule of law, and individual liberty must remain non-negotiable.

Just hours into the new year, Zoran Mamdani is sworn in as mayor of New York City, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and progressive power brokers. Drew breaks down Mamdani’s own words, past statements on defunding police, and the troubling warning signs surrounding his early appointments — asking the most important question of all: does ideology now outweigh the Constitution and the rule of law? The episode also exposes the rapidly expanding Minnesota fraud scandal, now stretching far beyond daycare centers into assisted-living facilities and Medicaid programs.

Drew breaks down why this moment matters and what it reveals about lawfare, censorship, and political power. The episode also dives deep into the expanding Minnesota fraud scandal, where billions in taxpayer dollars meant for children, daycares, Medicaid recipients, and assisted-living seniors were allegedly siphoned off through fake operations.
