It’s official!!!! We’re hosting the first Florida Gubernatorial debate on @PBDsPodcast. July 2nd at 6pm EST. What questions would you ask?

Awesome, love this! Here’s my questions for the candidates. 
1. Thousands of known or suspected terrorists have crossed the southern and northern borders illegal into the U.S. What specific actions would you take as governor to identify, monitor, and stop those who may now be living in Florida? 2. Hostile foreign governments are using universities to gain influence through research, funding, and partnerships. What would you do to eliminate foreign influence from Florida's colleges and universities? 
3. Property insurance is one of the biggest financial challenges facing Floridians. What are the first three actions you would take to lower premiums and when should voters expect to see results? 4. Florida has become the national leader in hurricane preparedness and emergency response. What is the next major investment or reform you would make to keep Florida the national model? 5. Should Florida further expand career and technical education so that more students graduate with industry certifications instead of debt? If so, how?

@patrickbetdavid @JoelWebbon @PBDsPodcast If Fishback isn’t there it’s not a debate.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Why didn’t you invite Bobby Williams @BobbyWFlgov2026 ??

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast What are you going to do about illegal aliens?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Find out which candidate will move most towards Christian values.

@patrickbetdavid @raylopez1112 @PBDsPodcast Who is participating? Do you have confirmation from Donalds? If not, it is a waste of time.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast When's the last time you fired someone you liked , and why? What is the hardest thing you've ever personally failed at, and what did you learn that you didn't already know?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast What will you do to keep foreign trained health care providers out of Florida? And improve the overall standards of health care provider standards and training in Florida?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast “ This question comes from the uh … ‘Retarded Groyper’ on X, he says: ‘Raise your hand if you are unwilling to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the Republican Party?’ ”

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast And @ByronDonalds is too chicken shit to attend, shocking.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast I ask only one thing Patrick. Please for the love of God...no Adam on the panel. You have so many great guys around you that have the bandwidth for this type of thing...just no Adam. Please; please; please.

@patrickbetdavid @SeanLozanoFL @PBDsPodcast James, the boomer demographic seems to completely abandon you and your campaign. Donalds dominates this NPC cut out. How do you plan on flipping a state full off boomers to vote for you? Thank you for all you’re doing.

“Polk county is facing a water crisis, resorting to deep wells, desalinization and pumping the waster back underground. An endeavor that will likely cost billions and negatively impact the environment. Homeowners on private wells will likely be facing a crisis in the next 10 years of their wells drying up primarily due to Polk County’s deep well project. How would you handle this?”

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast I have a question for you @patrickbetdavid @JayCollinsFL @Paul_Renner @j_fishback why didn’t you chicken shits include @BobbyWFlgov2026 who has the largest grassroots following here in Florida. You’re all a bunch of hypocrites!!!!Crying about Byron then doing the same to Bobby!

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Is @ByronDonalds being a coward and hypocritical? I remember when he clowned on Democrats for dodging debates.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast 1. Knowing Florida is a red state how do you intend to get progressives on your side. 2. What is Florida’s biggest strength and weakness and how will you address the two?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast 📢 Now that's what Charlie Kirk would have done! Seriously, THANK YOU @patrickbetdavid!

The value of the debate (and your credibility) will be determined by what you softball or omit to cover. Example: Byron Donalds wants a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens (it’s on video) and less than 90% of the people supporting him DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT. He’s also 80% funded by non-Floridians. He’s also got a terrible record of getting to the office and voting. Let’s see if you pin down the leading candidate on amnesty and establishment.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Bet you 100000% he won’t talk about Israel or AIPAC support

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Way to go 🏆 1) how municipalities will manage their obligations for road maintenance garbage collection and upkeep of parks if property taxes are eliminated 2) the likelihood of small towns getting money after Tallahassee Tampa Jacksonville Orlando and Miami +++ eat first!

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Too bad @ByronDonalds is a 🐈‍⬛ and won’t show up.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast I don't like that @ByronDonalds will not debate them. I don't car if they are not in double digits. He barely is too. He could easily lose a few points. We all know that polls are not accurate. Most republicans do not take polls.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Ask who funded fishback's world cup experience. Since he couldn't pay his lawyers and lost his lawsuits. Where is this money coming from?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Is the @RNC Communist right trying to keep @j_fishback out just like the @DNC did with @BernieSanders in 2015? Pat, this needs to someway fit into the questioning, calling out the RNC. Will you have the balls ⚽️ or NOT?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast 1. What is Donald’s doing that requires him to miss so many votes? 2. What part of the 1st Amendment does Collins disagree with, and why does he think that it doesn’t cover negative speech about Israel? 3. If @j_fishback is so insignificant, why won’t they debate him?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Question for @JayCollinsFL: You claimed to be an advocate for free speech when Byron donalds and the FL GOP tried to block debates, yet you are suing to try and remove Fishback off the ballot based on frivolous evidence, just like they did to trump. How do you explain this?

The Muslim population of Florida has risen by approximately 350% from 2000 – 2025. Currently, Florida has the largest number of Mosques in the USA > 192 < , more than New York California, Michigan or Virginia. Florida’s expanded universal voucher system, effective since 2023-24, provides approximately $8,000 – $10,000 per student annually to eligible families attending private schools. While the intent of the school choice program is honorable, terror-tied Islamic schools have exploited the program, transforming a well-meaning policy into a taxpayer-funded engine for Islamic institutional expansion. What will you do to stop taxpayer dollars from funding Islamic institutions?

1. What are steps you’d take to ensure the Muslim invasion happening in Texas, Michigan and New Jersey doesn’t continue here in Florida? Limiting new mosques or Muslim-only communities? 2. Do you think the use of flock cameras is a violation of our 4th amendment rights and what is your proposal for limiting or removing those cameras? 3. Indoctrination of our kids in public schools and higher learning is a problem. How will you address this for Florida?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast I’d like to ask why you’re involved in a debate that doesn’t include ALL the candidates.

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Why would a Florida candidate spend a majority of their time talking foreign affairs? Something that has no utility to being a Florida governor?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Will you ban data centers and flock cameras in Florida?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Thank you I’m so glad you are hosting a debate . Byron is making a BIG mistake not joining he’s not Donald Trump !

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast How do the candidates plan to continue and expand upon the leadership of Governor DeSantis given the likely influx and electoral influence of progressive voters and or donors whose choices have ruined other states?

@patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast Thank you @patrickbetdavid …. Here’s the biggest issue: FLORIDA IS FILLED WITH ELDERLY AND GOLDEN YEARS RESIDENTS. These residents have never heard of the PBD podcast. -It’s imperative that we reach ALL OF FLORIDA!

Thank you PBD!!! The Republican Party is shamelessly trying to ram RINO Byron Donalds down our throats. They want someone they can control. Floridians want our Gov Desantis' pick, Lt Gov Jay Collins!!!
