Valvomme kun muut nukkuvat. Eläinsairaala Mevet päivystää Helsingin pitäjänmäessä vuoden jokaisena päivänä ja yönä. Tervetuloa Mevetiin. Evidensia.fi kautta Mevet. No justiisa se. Devisol D-vitamins can be found in pharmacies. Orion Pharma. Building well-being.
That right there was in Florida. There's gonna be a lot of competitive congressional races coming up in 2026, and could these races flip blue?
How is Trump's approval rating affecting Florida's political landscape?
Democrats making major inroads in Florida, and there seems to be something in the air there. Could they be poised to vote Democratic this time and turn some of those congressional seats blue? Let's just take a look at some of the national polling in Florida where Donald Trump is deeply underwater. When we take a look at this strength in numbers, Elliott Morris chart right here, you see that Trump's underwater in Florida by about five points there. When you take a look at the latest economist tracker and we look at Trump's approval nationwide, We're seeing in several what are considered to be deep red states. Trump is in the negative. You take a look at California. I mean, you take a look at Florida right here and Donald Trump is somewhere between negative 5% to negative 10%.
What insights does James Martin bring from his Coast Guard experience?
Not quite California is what I was going to say where he's like negative 50%. But in Florida, We're talking about negative five, negative 10% there. And when we look at what's been happening in some of those town halls, like look at Florida's 21st congressional district, you'll see right here, MAGA Republican Congress member, Brian Mast, He's being greeted with booze. And he only attended this one. I think this was back in April of 2025. But people weren't buying what he was selling, this extreme MAGA agenda that's hurting the people in the 21st Congressional District, like throughout Florida. And this took place in Jupiter, Florida. But just watch how pissed off people.
What are the major issues facing Florida's 21st Congressional District?
And this was in April. Right now, people are this times like a thousand. Here, play this clip.
That's not a godly thing to say in the church. Now take a look.
That was, again, MAGA Republican Congress member Brian Mast. He leads the Foreign Intelligence Committee, Foreign Relations Committee in the Congress. Here he is right here talking about purging a foreign affairs committee, purging the State Department personnel. That was one of his big agendas, getting rid of the State Department. Think about that.
How does James Martin plan to address the economy and affordability?
The guy leads the Foreign Affairs Committee and he gets rid of the State Department. Here, play this clip.
as purging of people throughout the State Department, other agencies, where we're freezing aid. These are all very important and necessary steps to make sure that we secure America, and we're going to support that.
I'm sorry, can I follow up on what you just said there? You want to authorize purging of State Department personnel? What does that mean exactly?
Well, if you want to take a look at the State Department, where DEI has been a priority over, let's say, diplomacy in many accounts, I can give you hundreds of examples of where they were authorizing.
What proof do you have of that?
Sure, let's list them off.
What environmental concerns are impacting Florida's communities?
Half a million dollars to expand atheism in Nepal, $50,000 to do, let's see, a transgender opera in Colombia.
And everyone knows these culture war issues that are weaponized by MAGA people like MAST are all BS, and they've used it to absolutely destroy key functions of our government. And you know they don't care about the real issues. And again, imagine being the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. learning that you had a number of senior people in the trump regime chatting on signal and giving their classified war plans to a reporter and then saying whatever we don't care about it some of the most highly sensitive information this is what happened when mass was asked about that play this clip but you don't want i mean you have jurisdiction why don't you want to investigate
I don't think this rises to the level of an investigation like that, as my own personal opinion. And again, I'd give you the same point that I just made.
