ICYMI: Glenn Beck's lively, informative and no-holds-barred podcast interview with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. August 2022


The Glenn Beck Podcast, Episode 150. Ron DeSantis vs. Everyone: The Governor Who BROKE the Media. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida. 57 minutes. Recorded August 13, 2022.


Corporate media hate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. These days, that’s a badge of honor. They love to accuse him of tyranny and authoritarianism, to scaremonger about how he wants to "destroy" democracy. But he’s unafraid to call out their lies and keep Florida on the front lines for freedom. When Disney tried to protest his Parental Rights in Education law, he stood his ground — and won. He did the same with CRT and woke prosecutors and has an exciting announcement about taking on ESG. Gov. DeSantis joins Glenn to break down his growing collection of wins, why he isn’t slowing down, and his advice for Republicans hoping to make a difference in their states.

Breakdown of Broward County's registered voters two weeks before 2022 primary elections. As usual, voter apathy leads voter passion during the hot, humid summer months of South Florida


Breakdown of Broward County's registered voters two weeks before 2022 primary elections. As usual, voter apathy leads voter passion during the hot, humid summer months of South Florida.

As of today, two weeks before the 2022 Florida Primary election, with Early Voting scheduled to begin in Broward on Saturday the 13th, and with mail-in voting already taking place statewide, according to the Broward Superintendent of Elections office, while Democratic Party registered voters still outnumber Republicans in blue Broward County -where no Republicans serve on the nine-member Broward County Commission- a majority of the county's registered voters are NOT Democrats:

DEMOCRAT: 597,176
REPUBLICAN: 262,386
NPA: 361,595
OTHER: 19,626
TOTAL: 1,240,783
262,386 + 361,595 + 19,626 = 643,607

Compared to SOE figures of one year ago, August 7, 2021, below, this represents changes in the following:

Despite having competitive inter-party races for Governor and Senator, Democrats have lost 34,834 voters, roughly the population of Hallandale Beach.

For their part, Republicans have lost 5,954 voters in the 12 months before an election year with very strong GOP incumbents like Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio, and no contested primary competition for either man to drum-up voter registration/turnout before November's general election.

NPA has gained 2,109 voters, many likely new Florida residents who have abandoned Northern blue lockdown states like New York and Illinois, as seems self-evident anywhere you go in Broward, judging by the number of out-of-state license plates from those states this time of the year, as opposed to The Season in a few months.

Voters registered as OTHER, yes, OTHER, has gained 950 voters.

The total of registered voters in Broward County has decreased by 37,729 voters in the last year.

Active Registered Voters in #Broward County #FL as of 8/7/21,
DEMOCRAT: 632,010
REPUBLICAN: 268,340
NPA: 359,486
OTHER: 18,676
TOTAL: 1,278,512
