And welcome to another huge episode

0:02

of Triggered. What a week it's

0:04

been. So much breaking news. So

0:06

we're doing a special Wednesday edition

0:08

of the show. I don't need

0:10

to regurgitate what's going on after

0:12

you've seen it everywhere else. So

0:14

we rather get on top of

0:16

it and give it to you

0:18

right when it's happening. So we'll

0:21

do the show today instead

0:23

of tomorrow. So my father

0:25

ordered that all the documents

0:27

related to crossfire hurricane.

0:29

be declassified. Doge is now

0:31

finding even more fraud, including

0:33

hundreds of millions in SBA

0:35

loans that were given to

0:37

literal children. Children, like way

0:39

under the age of 18.

0:41

They're getting small business administration

0:44

loans. I wonder what that's

0:46

a cover for. And the

0:48

media and the Democrats are

0:50

trying to jump on headline

0:52

after headline over the use

0:54

of signal by cabinet secretaries.

0:56

Plus... We're going to dive

0:58

into the incredibly important state

1:00

Supreme Court election in Wisconsin,

1:03

including a triggered exclusive on

1:05

how China is using shady

1:07

tactics to take aim at

1:09

our farmers and agriculture. We

1:11

can't be complacent in these

1:13

special elections. This election could

1:16

even affect who controls the

1:18

House of Representatives. We've seen

1:20

what can happen when you

1:22

have out-of-control judges, so this

1:24

race matters. Don't get comfortable,

1:26

don't get complacent, apathy is gonna get

1:29

you. You have the same thing going

1:31

on in Florida. Florida won, Florida 6,

1:33

the old Mike Waltz and Matt Gates

1:36

seats. Their special elections are also on

1:38

April 1, and it doesn't seem like

1:40

a lot of people know that. So

1:42

if you know people in Wisconsin, make

1:45

sure they vote. Make sure you vote,

1:47

you have eight days. Till next Tuesday,

1:49

April 1. There's early voting in Florida.

1:52

Get engaged, get in the game, make

1:54

sure we put the conservatives in those

1:56

respective seats or the Democrats could take

1:58

control of the House. and effectively

2:00

hold the administration hostage from doing

2:03

all the common sense that they're

2:05

getting done. So we're going to

2:07

get into all of that, plus

2:09

Senators Ron Johnson of the great

2:11

state of Wisconsin and Rick Scott

2:13

of the state of Florida. They're

2:15

going to stop by, so it's

4:39

about a great American company. And

4:41

now, guys, let's get into some of

4:43

the top headlines. By now, I'm

4:45

sure you're very familiar with perhaps

4:48

the most famous signal group chat

4:50

in history, where a writer for

4:52

the Atlantic... was on a group

4:55

chat about a recent and successful

4:57

mission against the Huthi rebels in

4:59

Yemen. But now it appears that

5:01

the Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg

5:04

are changing their original story.

5:06

Remember guys, first it was

5:08

war plans were being discussed.

5:11

But based on what we know,

5:13

that doesn't even remotely seem to

5:15

be the case. In fact, the

5:17

Atlantic has a new story that

5:19

no longer even uses the phrase

5:22

war plans. And DOD spokesman

5:24

Sean Parnell wrote, there

5:26

were no targets, no

5:28

locations, no units,

5:30

no routes, no sources,

5:32

no methods, and no

5:34

classified information. Huh. Seems

5:36

like there was no

5:38

anything. It doesn't appear

5:40

that Jeff Goldberg has

5:42

even seen a war plan.

5:44

And I'm shocked, shocked I

5:47

tell you that the perpetrator...

5:49

of the suckers and losers

5:51

hoax, the one and only

5:53

Jeffrey Goldberg, would also exaggerate

5:55

and lie about what was

5:58

in these messages. I don't

6:00

think surprise me anymore. And

6:02

as the White House said this

6:04

week, no classified material was sent

6:07

to the thread, and the White

6:09

House Council's office has provided guidance

6:12

on a number of different platforms

6:14

for President Trump's top officials to

6:16

communicate as a safety and efficient

6:19

way as possible. And that includes

6:21

signal. Using signal is literally nothing

6:24

new. Many Democrats have been using signal.

6:26

Many of them were caught using it

6:28

and it was never a problem then,

6:30

but apparently now it's a

6:33

problem. And according to the National

6:35

Security Council, the White House is

6:37

looking into just how Goldberg's number

6:39

was added to the thread. And

6:41

what steps could be taken to

6:43

ensure that this never happens again? But

6:45

also, can I say something that I'm

6:47

sure the media regime will attack me

6:49

for? Because that's sort of my life

6:51

at this point. In some ways... Reading

6:54

that thread was refreshing Okay,

6:56

it was actually refreshing. It

6:58

was a serious and thoughtful

7:00

and thorough Policy conversation about

7:02

my father's foreign policy agenda

7:05

I was glad to see

7:07

JD's comments on how this

7:09

was benefiting the Europeans and

7:11

Actually asking some important questions

7:13

and JD was ultimately on

7:16

board with the mission. That's

7:18

how things work guys. You

7:20

actually need deliberation and discussion

7:22

and dissenting opinions. That is good.

7:24

After four years of having Biden,

7:26

who didn't even know what day

7:29

it was, and having nonstop incompetence

7:31

on foreign policy, it's refreshing to

7:33

actually have a cabinet that is

7:36

sophisticated and engaged on these issues,

7:38

that they're willing to talk, that

7:40

they're willing to dissent. And ultimately,

7:42

once a decision is made, that

7:44

they're all willing to actually be

7:46

on board, rather than try to

7:48

sabotage it from the outside. And

7:50

this wasn't the disastrous Afghan

7:53

withdrawal. This mission was against

7:55

Huthi militia and it was

7:58

successful. Nobody's texting. war

8:00

plans. I noticed this

8:02

morning out came something that

8:04

doesn't look like war plans.

8:07

And as a matter of

8:09

fact, they even changed the

8:12

title two attack plans because

8:14

they know it's not war

8:16

plans. There's no units, no

8:19

locations, no routes, no routes,

8:21

no classified information. You know

8:23

who sees war plans? I

8:26

see it. Every single day.

8:28

I looked at him this

8:31

morning. I looked at attack

8:33

plans this morning. You know who

8:35

does attack plans in war plans?

8:37

Men like that admiral right there,

8:39

Papara for the Indo-Pacific or Eric

8:41

Carilla are general in sent count.

8:43

They do attack plans and war

8:45

plans. And thank God we have

8:48

those leaders who do it and

8:50

do it well and our enemies

8:52

know it. My job, as it

8:54

said atop of that, everybody seen

8:56

it now, team update is to

8:58

provide updates. in real time. General

9:00

updates in real time keep everybody

9:02

informed. That's what I did. That's

9:04

my job. The war fighters will

9:06

take the fight for the enemy

9:09

and I love what they do.

9:11

And the President Trump's leadership, our

9:13

enemies are on notice. We will

9:15

have peace through strength and we'll

9:17

keep putting our troops first. Now

9:19

Democrats like the House Minority Leader

9:21

Jeffries and Senator Mark Warner and

9:23

others are trying to turn this

9:25

into another Russia, Russia, calling for

9:27

more endless investigations, trying to fuel

9:29

as much hysteria as possible, but

9:31

honestly, I just don't think the American

9:34

people are buying any of this nonsense

9:36

anymore. I watched today as they grilled

9:38

Tulsi Gabard for hours who basically only

9:40

responded once in the chat saying this

9:42

is the point person to deal with

9:44

the issue. Because it seems like the

9:46

Democrats weaponized this to try to get

9:48

all of the people that they didn't

9:50

like in the administration and get them out.

9:52

That's how it reads to me, guys, because as

9:54

Michael Wilson and others have said,

9:56

the bottom line is that President

9:58

Trump is protecting America's interests around

10:01

the world and we're operating

10:03

from a position of strength.

10:05

And that's at the core of the

10:08

America First Mission. Protecting,

10:10

strengthening American institutions, American

10:12

workers, and American families.

10:14

And that coalition and

10:17

movement is broader and

10:19

stronger than ever before. Which brings

10:22

us to a triggered exclusive

10:24

investigation that I'm sure most

10:26

of the media will ignore.

10:28

Shouldn't surprise any of you, but

10:30

as we've told you, a major theme of this

10:32

show is making America healthy again.

10:34

A key tenant of that is

10:37

protecting critical supply chains from foreign

10:39

adversaries, bolstering our domestic food production

10:41

and keeping it in the hands

10:44

of American workers, American families, and

10:46

American companies. You've heard me talk

10:48

about it again and again. And

10:51

tonight we have an exclusive report

10:53

on the growing evidence of how

10:55

China is using... foreign companies in

10:58

places like Europe as proxies to

11:00

try to carry out their dirty

11:02

work here on American soil.

11:04

Because get this, the CEO of

11:06

French food conglomerate Danone

11:09

just this week appeared on

11:11

CCP media outlet called the

11:13

People's Daily. The Communist Party,

11:15

the Chinese Communist Party, where

11:17

he lavishes praise on the

11:19

CCP. claims that the world's

11:21

growth depends on China and

11:24

suggests that we use China

11:26

as a quote export base

11:28

for things like health and

11:30

medical products to bring into

11:32

America and across the West. Don't

11:34

take my word for you guys. Here it

11:36

is in his own words. The growth of

11:39

China is very healthy. Everybody forgets but

11:41

5% on a very large base is

11:43

the size of some European economies every

11:46

year. The growth is sustainable, the growth

11:48

is continued and we are very impressed

11:50

with the growth of China. The best

11:53

proof of the confidence is we keep

11:55

investing into China, we invest in innovation

11:57

in China, we invest in products. in

12:00

China, not only for China, but for

12:02

China and for the rest of the

12:04

world. China is a place where we

12:06

source some of our best innovation when

12:08

it comes to artificial intelligence and the

12:10

way artificial intelligence is applying to all

12:12

kinds of topics. Those areas where we

12:14

leverage China and where we invest in

12:16

China, we will keep producing more in

12:18

China and we use China for a

12:20

production base as an export base for

12:22

some of our more sophisticated medical

12:25

products. Amazing! You believe this

12:27

stuff? And this is just

12:29

one of many examples. All

12:31

done through news stations like

12:33

the People's Daily and China

12:35

Daily, which are literally owned

12:38

and operated by the CCP.

12:40

And by the way, China

12:42

Daily was just banned from

12:44

distribution inside the House of

12:46

Representatives, where I'm sure it's

12:48

a popular read amongst Democrats

12:51

in the House. Here is the same

12:53

CEO claiming that the world's

12:55

growth depends. on the success

12:57

of China. China is absolutely

12:59

critical for the world growth.

13:01

I mean, if China doesn't

13:03

grow, the world is not

13:06

growing. The second thing is,

13:08

well, the commitment of the

13:10

government, which is keep growing

13:12

China at a 5% rate

13:14

on a base that is

13:16

now extremely large. Doing it

13:18

in a way that is

13:20

sustainable, doing it by unleashing

13:22

our new productive forces. gives

13:24

me huge confidence in the

13:26

market and huge confidence that

13:28

growth will continue in China, but

13:30

also that China will contribute to

13:32

the growth of the world. So guys, why does

13:35

any of this matter? Why should we care?

13:37

Well, we did a little

13:39

digging and spoke to multiple

13:41

sources inside HHS and other

13:43

agencies and uncovered that this

13:45

company Denone is actually in

13:47

the process of trying to

13:49

orchestrate a hostile takeover. of

13:52

a Midwestern American health foods

13:54

company called Lifeway, which makes

13:56

probiotic dairy products. Okay? Now,

13:58

the major company... has major

14:00

operations in key agricultural states

14:02

like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and

14:05

from what we're told this

14:07

giant conglomerate wants to take

14:09

over operations and overhaul the

14:12

company slash jobs hurt farmers

14:14

and perhaps even resource ingredients

14:16

presumably from China and it

14:18

appears to be being done

14:21

at least in part at the

14:23

implicit or perhaps explicit direction

14:25

of the Chinese Communist Party.

14:27

and very likely could lead

14:30

to the loss of American

14:32

control of vital dairy products

14:34

and supply chains. Now guys, under

14:36

the leadership of RFK Jr., Scott

14:39

Besson, and across my father's administration,

14:41

it's been made clear that these

14:43

types of deals are bad for

14:46

Americans and bad for making America

14:48

healthy again and the movement. You

14:50

heard RFK talking about it this

14:52

week with respect to baby formula.

14:55

This is the new front in China's

14:57

efforts to buy up our farmland.

14:59

Acquire our companies and hurt our

15:01

workers. Remember, Chinese companies aren't the

15:03

ones that have Chinese names. They're

15:06

brought openly by Chinese enterprises. No,

15:08

no, no. The ties and the

15:10

links go much deeper than that.

15:12

They're shadow entities. They're bought in

15:15

other things that sound like they're

15:17

not Chinese. It's all about control.

15:19

So just like China with buying

15:21

up farmland. We'll be keeping an

15:23

eye out on all of this

15:25

as the story develops because America

15:27

First also includes, specifically,

15:30

American farmers and American companies.

15:32

They will not be forgotten and

15:34

we're going to be watching this

15:37

very carefully. And guys, it doesn't

15:39

stop there. According to an

15:41

investigation by the National Pulse,

15:44

a network of fake companies attempting

15:46

to recruit laid off federal

15:48

workers has now been identified

15:50

as a front. for a

15:52

Chinese tech firm exposing yet

15:54

another way in which China is

15:57

trying to spy on Americans here

15:59

at home. And again, I'll take

16:01

this moment to remind you,

16:03

if you're in Wisconsin, guys,

16:05

you must get out there and

16:07

vote for Brad Schimmel this Tuesday,

16:10

April 1st. This race determines control

16:12

of the state Supreme Court and

16:14

will determine whether Wisconsin actually has

16:16

a court committed to protecting the

16:18

rule of law and America's interests.

16:20

and all the stuff we're talking

16:22

about. These local and state races

16:25

matter. Do not just take the

16:27

winds you're seeing every day for

16:29

granted. They can go away like

16:31

that. Okay? They can end in

16:33

an instant. That's what the Democrats

16:35

are trying to do. That's what they're

16:38

trying to do in Florida for the

16:40

special elections, taking place in Florida, one

16:42

in Florida seat, which could determine the

16:44

control of the House. Okay? These are

16:46

not laughing matters. They are not to

16:49

be taken lightly. Everything hinges on them.

16:51

Get involved, call your friends who live

16:53

in those districts, Florida has early voting,

16:55

so you could vote between now and

16:57

next Tuesday. Just don't sit back, apathy

17:00

will get us. Because House Minority Leader

17:02

Jeffries is already saying it out loud,

17:04

that if the Democrats can get control

17:06

of the court, they're going to redraw

17:09

the maps and try to flip Wisconsin

17:11

House seats from red to blue. This

17:13

could actually affect control of

17:15

the House of Representatives just

17:17

by itself. Here's Jeffries in

17:20

his own words. In Wisconsin,

17:22

that's a 50-50 race. Because

17:25

we know Wisconsin's a 50-50

17:27

state. And we have a

17:29

strong Democratic candidate, whoever wins,

17:32

is going to determine who

17:34

has the majority in the

17:36

Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why

17:38

is that important? Because

17:40

there are gerrymandered

17:42

congressional. lines right

17:44

now in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's a

17:47

50-50 state as I mentioned,

17:49

but there are six Republicans

17:51

and only two Democrats out

17:53

of an eight-person delegation because

17:55

the lines are broken. Right. And

17:57

as soon as possible we need to...

18:00

able to revisit that and

18:02

have fair lines. The only

18:04

way for that to be

18:07

even a significant possibility is

18:09

if you have an enlightened

18:12

Supreme Court. And so, you

18:14

know, I think that's an

18:17

incredibly important race. Guys, again,

18:19

when someone tells you what

18:22

they're going to do, pay

18:24

attention. This is not the

18:27

time to be complacent. I

18:29

mean, just imagine if Jasmine

18:32

Crockett ends up in Democrat

18:34

leadership in a theoretical house

18:36

Democrat majority. Crockett has recently

18:39

been spending her time at

18:41

taxing Texas Governor Greg Abbott

18:44

in the most disgusting ways

18:46

imaginable. Watch. Because we in

18:49

these hot-ass Texas streets, honey.

18:51

Y'all know we got Governor

18:54

Hot Wheels down there. Come

18:56

on there. about

19:01

him is that he is a

19:03

hot-ass mess, honey. So, um, so

19:05

yes, yes, yes, yes. Now, if

19:07

a Republican did that, it'd probably

19:10

be over. If you're Jasmine Crockett,

19:12

I guess you could get away

19:14

with it. Don't forget, uh, Governor

19:16

Abbott was paralyzed, I believe at

19:19

the age of 26, because a

19:21

tree fell on him. He's been

19:23

in a wheelchair since, and he's

19:25

been a really good governor, and

19:28

fighting for conservative values. Now my

19:30

father responded to Congresswoman Crockett's comments

19:32

and let's just say it was

19:35

a classic Trump. Check this out.

19:37

She lies but she's a low

19:39

life and she's a very low

19:41

IQ person and a low life

19:44

and I don't imagine the Democrats

19:46

are going to have a person

19:48

like that running their party if

19:50

they do and they'll never win

19:53

an election again too would be

19:55

very hard. But I can't imagine

19:57

she's going to last long. And

19:59

what do you think of Governor

20:02

Gavin Newsom's? You know, to be

20:04

smart, you do need a brain.

20:06

You know, you can't get around

20:08

with little quips. And she's, I've

20:11

only heard her for the last

20:13

couple of days. And I watched

20:15

her make a speech and she

20:18

can't speak. And she's a, she

20:20

truly is a low level person

20:22

on the very important chart of

20:24

intelligence. Yeah. And really, as I

20:27

used to have intelligent people running

20:29

your operation. Yeah. Somebody, somebody you

20:31

can talk to, you could have

20:33

a good conversation with. She was

20:36

a comedian. I couldn't really if

20:38

she was a congressman or whatever

20:40

she is. And I thought she

20:42

was a comedian. That's unbelievable. And

20:45

she was a little bit, a

20:47

little bit funny, but crude. And

20:49

now I find out she's actually

20:51

a politician with the Democrats who

20:54

are going to suffer with this.

20:57

Guys, Democrats have demonstrated time and

20:59

time again that they are not

21:01

fit to govern and that they

21:03

have a big point of delusion

21:05

about not being able to fulfill

21:07

their most basic obligations to their

21:09

constituents, right? They're just not able

21:11

to do it. They are off

21:13

their rocker. For example, just look

21:15

at California. where we're now learning

21:17

that only four permits have been

21:19

issued for rebuilding, right? Four permits

21:21

have been issued for rebuilding 75

21:23

days after the devastating wildfires in

21:25

the Pacific Palisades. Check it out

21:27

for yourself. We want to get

21:29

going. The Palisades rebuilding. Residents at

21:31

this City Council Committee hearing held

21:33

on the west side were here

21:35

to discuss how to move forward.

21:37

The blessing here is that we

21:39

have been given an opportunity to

21:41

show the world how you do

21:43

disaster relief and rebuilding effectively. But

21:45

the Department of Building and Safety

21:47

told the committee so far it

21:49

has approved just four permits. Council

21:51

Member Tracy Park who represents the

21:53

Palisades says that's not acceptable. You

21:55

know when I hear in a

21:57

committee meeting like we had today

21:59

that only four permits have been

22:01

issued and we're on day 75

22:03

post-fire that is concerning to me

22:05

and I don't think it is

22:07

necessarily a lack of interest in

22:09

rebuilding. I suspect it is indicative

22:11

of systemic issues that we need

22:13

to continue to focus on. And

22:15

if you're wondering why... insurance is

22:17

such a best in California and

22:19

why companies are pulling out of

22:21

the state, it turns out that

22:23

the state insurance commissioner Ricardo R

22:25

has been jet setting across the

22:27

world on taxpayer dime, sort of

22:29

like the other California politicians who

22:31

were not there when the fires

22:33

were imminent and happening. Not showing

22:35

up to meetings, he's spending his

22:37

time doing pretty much anything and

22:39

everything but actually handling insurance. According

22:41

to local media reports, His taxpayer-funded

22:43

travel included a trip to New

22:45

York's Pride Fest, sure that has

22:47

a lot to do with insurance,

22:49

where the itinerary including attending a

22:51

rooftop party featuring DJ kitty glitter.

22:53

Don't believe me, just look at

22:55

this recent news report from ABC

22:57

7 in San Francisco, probably not

22:59

a bastion of conservative thoughts, so

23:01

if they've had enough and they're

23:03

talking about it, ah, it's probably

23:05

real. Since assuming office in 2019,

23:07

Lata made at least 46 trips

23:09

across the country and all over

23:11

the world, but as we found

23:13

out, a significant chunk of the

23:15

records are missing and the state

23:17

has been unable to provide them,

23:19

including work-related trips where he is

23:21

pictured or listed as a speaker

23:24

in Singapore, Cape Town South Africa,

23:26

Dublin, Costa Rica, Chile, Egypt, Tokyo,

23:28

Glasgow, and Dubai. Plus a handful

23:30

of trips to these states. With

23:32

that said, the trip receipts we

23:34

do have are not cheap. For

23:36

context, record show Illinois's insurance commissioner

23:38

spent $680 for the entire year.

23:40

of 2022. Meanwhile, during the first

23:42

six months of Lada's term, his

23:44

cross country and international trips cost

23:46

taxpayers more than $33,000. This includes

23:48

an all-expenses paid week-long trip at

23:50

a luxury five-star hotel in Bogota,

23:52

Colombia for an LGBTI political leaders

23:54

conference and another flight and five-star

23:56

hotel stay in New York City

23:58

for Pride Fest, where his schedule

24:00

listed a VIP rooftop event with

24:02

DJ kitty kitty glitter. We should

24:04

note the four-day trip did not

24:06

list any insurance-related meetings on his

24:08

schedule. This is what Democrats have

24:10

to offer, guys. It's destructive. So

24:12

whether it's at the state level,

24:14

the federal level, inside the judiciary,

24:16

do not get complacent. Apathy is

24:18

the only thing that can get

24:20

us. Stay engaged, stay motivated, stay

24:22

on the offense. And Senator Ron

24:24

Johnson is coming up in just

24:26

moments. We're going to be talking

24:28

about Wisconsin. We'll then have Senator

24:30

Rick Scott talking about Florida and

24:32

what's going on in the Senate.

24:34

But first, another word from our

24:36

24:38

24:46

25:28

Well guys joining me now, Senator

25:30

from the great state of Wisconsin,

25:32

Ron Johnson, great to have you

25:34

Ron, how are you? Well Don,

25:36

I'm doing great. I hope you

25:38

are too. Well, thank you for

25:40

being here. I'm doing pretty good.

25:42

I just want to make sure

25:44

we keep, you know, our eyes

25:46

on the ball with everything that's

25:48

going on right now. So first

25:51

off, I'd love to get your

25:53

reaction to what we're seeing sort

25:55

of... in the media hysteria surrounding

25:57

this signal chat thing, right? You

25:59

know, Democrats seem to be using

26:01

it as a pretext for endless

26:03

investigations. You know, what do you

26:05

see just in the Senate as

26:07

someone who's done this for a

26:09

while? Well, I think you described

26:11

it well, media hysteria. Listen, I

26:13

think they are freaking out by

26:15

what your dad, Elon Musk, is

26:17

revealing in terms of their... Yeah,

26:19

what they've set up here. This

26:21

massive government that gives them all

26:23

the power, all the control, funds

26:25

all their extreme radical ideology, and

26:27

your dad has just come in

26:29

here and busted that up. It's

26:31

exposed at all. And so they

26:33

are freaking out about it. And

26:35

so they'll do anything. They'll grab

26:37

at any straw to try and

26:39

hurt him to try and slow

26:41

him down. But right now it

26:43

doesn't look like anything. It's just

26:45

slow them down. Yeah, no, I

26:47

saw that. I was watching, you

26:49

know, today, you know, the cabinet,

26:51

it seems like they're focusing on

26:53

Tulsa Gabbard, who I don't think

26:55

actually participated even in the conversation,

26:57

beyond saying, hey, this is the

26:59

point person for the issue right

27:01

in the beginning. It seems almost

27:03

like a way to target those

27:05

that they always just wanted to

27:07

target as opposed to there being

27:09

any there there. I looked at

27:11

the stuff I read the whole

27:13

thing. I'm saying, well, I don't

27:15

see any actual plans. I don't

27:17

see any actual plans. It seems

27:19

like much to do about nothing

27:21

even if it's not ideal. I

27:23

think it is much to do

27:25

about nothing. You know, obviously a

27:27

mistake. I'm sure one that has

27:29

been corrected won't be repeated. But

27:31

again, anything they can do, if

27:33

they can get a scalp. this

27:35

administration. That's what they're going to

27:37

try and do. They'll do anything

27:39

they can to slow down the

27:41

momentum. Yeah, so I guess speaking

27:43

of scalps, I was actually recently

27:45

in your state to campaign for

27:47

Brad Schimmel in this special election

27:49

that's happening on April 1st. That's

27:51

going to literally decide the Supreme

27:53

Court in the state of Wisconsin.

27:55

That decides redistricting that that'll help

27:57

decide whether men are allowed to

27:59

play in women sports. What they

28:01

do with endless migration, etc. What

28:03

is the nexus between sort of

28:05

my father's America first agenda, your

28:07

mission in the Senate representing Wisconsin,

28:09

and what's going on at the

28:11

state level in Wisconsin, specifically in

28:13

this Supreme Court race? First of

28:15

all, thank you for all of

28:17

your efforts in supporting Brad, because

28:20

this is crucial. The radical left

28:22

took over our Supreme Court. two

28:24

years ago when Dan Kelly lost

28:26

a Supreme Court race, he only

28:28

got 800,000 votes. Your dad got

28:30

almost 1.7. He's now the record

28:32

vote gear in Wisconsin, 1.7. There's

28:34

no reason that there's a 900,000

28:36

difference between what your dad got

28:38

and what we turned out last

28:40

time for the Supreme Court race.

28:42

So we've got to up our

28:44

game. If we don't, what the

28:46

radical left court did initially when

28:48

they had the time to do

28:50

it is they completely redistricted our

28:52

state assembly and our state senate

28:54

maps and we lost a lot

28:56

of members and reduced our majorities

28:58

in both bodies. If they have

29:00

more time, they will definitely redistrict

29:02

the congressional seats. Now that they

29:04

scream about gerrymandering. Yeah. Yeah. Listen

29:06

when they're doing it. Yeah. Drawing

29:08

districts is a political process. Better

29:10

to have elected officials, you know,

29:12

130 of them do it in

29:14

some way, shape, form as opposed

29:16

to four elected judges, right? Yeah.

29:18

But so they scream about gerrymandering

29:20

until they get a chance to

29:22

do it and then they go

29:24

all out spending tens of millions

29:26

of dollars. And by the way,

29:28

that's what they did in the

29:30

last Supreme Court race, made that

29:32

a record cost. You know, the

29:34

highest spending in any judicial race

29:36

in the history that nation and

29:38

they're probably going to double the

29:40

spending in this one. They realize

29:42

how important it is against not

29:44

just the fact that we can

29:46

redistrict and then lose a couple

29:48

house seats which could cost the

29:50

house the majority and make your

29:52

dad's second two years the two

29:54

last two years of his term

29:56

a real you know what ride

29:58

okay yeah I didn't dish that

30:00

they would probably overturn voter ID

30:02

they could turn any kind of

30:04

election integrity process or laws we

30:06

have in Wisconsin overturn that make

30:08

it almost impossible for Republican to

30:10

win the 10 electoral votes like

30:12

your dad did last time. So

30:14

this has major national implications plus

30:16

they would just again they would

30:18

love this scalp right they would

30:20

just love to say all you

30:22

know Donald Trump is not that

30:24

you know he's not doesn't have

30:26

a man I'm looking we just

30:28

we just beat him in Wisconsin

30:30

yeah and it's not really even

30:32

a scalp like I guess our

30:34

people are like hey we're getting

30:36

a lot of the stuff done

30:38

that we want done so they're

30:40

happy It's not even a scalpen

30:42

that we're just not paying attention.

30:44

I think it's so critical that

30:47

the people of Wisconsin, and you

30:49

have special elections in Florida, and

30:51

a few others throughout, we lost

30:53

to Pennsylvania, state legislature, saying by

30:55

like 480 votes yesterday, because our

30:57

guys are sitting at home happy,

30:59

the Democrats are mobilizing, they're chatting

31:01

amongst themselves, they're turning out to

31:03

make sure that they can stop.

31:05

this agenda from actually manifesting itself.

31:07

And so, you know, how do

31:09

you find the best way to

31:11

get the people of Wisconsin engaged?

31:13

You've run many races, you've always

31:15

done incredibly well in them for

31:17

a very long time, even when

31:19

it was a left-leaning state. How

31:21

do we overcome that bridge to

31:23

get those people to understand, you

31:25

know, just because you or Trump

31:27

isn't at the top of the

31:29

ticket, it's still fundamentally critical for

31:31

the entire agenda? You know, I

31:33

mean, you have the law to

31:35

diminish diminishing returns kick in and

31:37

all the advertising right. And unfortunately,

31:39

a lies are effective. That's all

31:41

that Susan Crawford has just tell

31:43

lie and after lie after life

31:45

about Brad Schimmel. So we need

31:47

to counter that with a strong

31:49

ground game. That's what Elon and

31:51

others, you know, turning point to

31:53

those guys finance that. The RPW,

31:55

we've got a really a very

31:57

effective state party as well. So

31:59

we've got a lot of forces

32:01

on the ground. They're running that

32:03

ground game. We are encouraging early

32:05

voting. We did that in 2024.

32:07

That helped. We're doing it again

32:09

this time. So we're doing all

32:11

the right things. And quite honestly,

32:13

this has garnered not only national

32:15

attention, but You've got to be

32:17

asleep in Wisconsin. If you haven't

32:19

seen these ads, if you're not

32:21

aware, if you're not aware of

32:23

this race, your dad's endorsement is

32:25

huge. The more he can do,

32:27

the more he can get on

32:29

true social and you know, the

32:31

more you do, the better. So,

32:33

you know, we are aware of

32:35

this. This is not two years

32:37

ago where Dan Kelly only got

32:39

800,000 volts. Bradshim will get a

32:41

lot more, but again, the left

32:43

is ginned up as gined up

32:45

as well. I mean, I mean,

32:47

this is the way they can

32:49

fight. Yeah, so again if you're

32:51

in Wisconsin if you know someone

32:53

in Wisconsin between now and April

32:55

1st like go vote for Brad

32:57

Shimmel the lady running against him

32:59

This is the gonna be the

33:01

essentially a tie-break around the Supreme

33:03

Court is a radical leftist lunatic

33:05

Just look at the things that

33:07

she said whether it's men and

33:09

women sports whether it's the stuff

33:11

on the deporting criminal murderous drug

33:14

gangs, etc This is not a

33:16

moderate left voice, which they'll try

33:18

to paint her I'm sure in

33:20

the in the in the in

33:22

the ads Make sure you guys

33:24

get involved in this race. It's

33:26

fundamentally critical, not just for Wisconsin,

33:28

but for the future of our

33:30

country, for midterms, etc. Can't say

33:32

it better. I mean, it's just,

33:34

it's absolutely crucial. Well, Senator, while

33:36

I have you, I guess, on

33:38

spending specifically, you've said that Congress

33:40

needs to rigorously scrutinize spending like

33:42

private sector businesses do. I agree

33:44

with you. Do it line by

33:46

line. Why isn't that... even remotely

33:48

popular in Washington right now. Why

33:50

are they so vehemently against even

33:52

a modicum of oversight? Well, the

33:54

good news is I was with

33:56

your dad in the White House,

33:58

two-thirds is... before we went on

34:00

recess and I was able to

34:02

lay out these pre pandemic spending

34:04

options for him and he liked

34:06

it. He loved the he loved

34:08

the concept so I think he'll

34:10

get behind this. We set this

34:12

process up for massive spending without

34:14

any oversight. So today only 24%

34:16

of total federal spending is actually

34:18

appropriated. The other 76% is what

34:20

they call mandatory spending and most

34:22

people think of Social Security Medicare

34:24

and Medicaid. There's 1.3 trillion dollars

34:26

of other mandatory spending other than

34:28

those programs. And what I've shown,

34:30

I showed this to your dad,

34:32

you can exempt Social Security, Medicare,

34:34

and Medicaid, take 2019 total outlays,

34:36

increase them by population, inflation, we'd

34:38

be spending 6.5 trillion dollars this

34:40

year versus the 7.3. And you

34:42

know, unfortunately the House, their budget

34:44

resolution, they would cut that by

34:46

150 billion dollars where that's an

34:48

800 billion dollar. difference between what

34:50

we're spending and the maximum we

34:52

should be spending based on 2019

34:54

spending level. So again, lay this

34:56

out for your dad. Personally, I'd

34:58

go back to Bill Clinton's 1998

35:00

is the baseline. Grow that by

35:02

population inflation. That'd be 5.5 trillion.

35:04

Yeah, and that's how I'm trying

35:06

to return to a reasonable level.

35:08

When you talk about cutting some

35:10

of these things, people, it's such

35:12

a drastic cut, but it's like,

35:14

well, in 2019, it was two

35:16

billion, two trillion dollars less. What's

35:18

changed in those amount of time?

35:20

That you need to spend $2

35:22

trillion? I mean, yes, inflation has

35:24

done somebody, but like, give me

35:26

a break. That was just, you

35:28

know, whether it was COVID was

35:30

weaponized as a window to be

35:32

able to boost government spending so

35:34

much. The cut's not real. It's

35:36

only real relative to the last

35:38

four years. After that, it's pretty

35:40

benign and gets us back to

35:43

a place of sanity that we

35:45

can actually cover and not just

35:47

continue to increase the deficit. in

35:49

2019 before the pandemic 6.5. and

35:51

never look back. You know, no

35:53

family I know of that had

35:55

they had an illness had to

35:57

borrow $50,000, spend that on medical

35:59

bills if that family member got

36:01

well, would keep borrowing $50,000 and

36:03

keep spending that level. That would

36:05

be insane, but that's basically what

36:07

Joe Biden and the Democrats did

36:09

after the pandemic. So again, there's

36:11

a way to return to a

36:13

reasonable level. It's going back, look

36:15

at, you know, look at Clinton,

36:17

look at Obama, you know, Trump

36:19

in 2019. That gives your reigns

36:21

between 5.5 and 6.5 and then

36:23

go through the 2,400 individual line

36:25

items in those outlay budgets. And

36:27

scrutinize it. Say, okay, well, this

36:29

is over the inflated 2019 number.

36:31

You know, Don, you know, this

36:33

is in business. This would be

36:35

a five minute conversation with your

36:37

managers, right? Listen, you knuckleheads. I

36:39

said, yeah, you could increase your

36:41

budget based on inflation and the

36:43

number of customers you're serving, but

36:45

you've gone 10 percent over that.

36:47

Dial it back. There'd be five

36:49

minutes to be done. But the

36:51

Democrats will say, you're just cutting

36:53

social security. It's just, it's a

36:55

ridiculous sound bite. And even if

36:57

it's not true, and even if

36:59

you push out, you know, the

37:01

media will run with it as

37:03

though it's the gospel. Yeah, I

37:05

guess that's the problem that you're

37:07

dealing with when they're the ones

37:09

actually damaging social security. through inflation.

37:11

Frankly utilizing a lot of those

37:13

funds for their little pork projects

37:15

that actually have nothing to do

37:17

with Social Security. We saw Joe

37:19

Biden do that very, very aggressively

37:21

to the tune of billions of

37:23

dollars. You know, how do you

37:25

break through that messaging aspect of

37:27

it that we still, you know,

37:29

I think we've made some progress

37:31

with X and other places, but

37:33

we're still way behind in that

37:35

ability to message. And you know,

37:37

the older generation who's most impacted

37:39

by Social Security right now, they

37:41

just view it as even if

37:43

it's totally fictitious. That's a grave

37:45

threat to them, understandably. So what

37:47

I'm suggesting is to complement what

37:49

Elon Musk and your data doing

37:51

with Doge, where they're exposing these

37:53

grotesque examples of waste fraud and

37:55

abuse, set up a panel of

37:57

senators, of House members, and the

37:59

White House. Okay, Russ vote his

38:01

OMB folks, set up a budget

38:03

review panel, bring in the heads

38:05

of the departments with their CFOs,

38:07

and go by the 2,400 line

38:10

by line items, and have them

38:12

justify it. Just like you do

38:14

the private sector, go, what happened

38:16

here? Yeah. Why is this 30%

38:18

higher than 2019 inflated numbers? What,

38:20

what, what, what, you know, it

38:22

justify that? It could not withstand

38:24

the scrutiny. And so I think

38:26

if you'd go do that. It's

38:28

part of the process. Right now,

38:30

we do not have any process

38:32

for reviewing total spending. The process

38:34

for the 24% of appropriate is

38:36

a joke. They start at what

38:38

we spend, and then they pat

38:40

themselves on the back, say, oh,

38:42

we only increase the 3%. So

38:44

government spending just ratchets up and

38:46

up and up. And unfortunately, the

38:48

House is doing, they're starting at

38:50

$7.3 trillion, and they're suffering death

38:52

by 1,000 cuts. So it makes,

38:54

so this is about. a common

38:56

sense approach. It's what every business

38:58

does. And if you do that,

39:00

you combine that with the revelations

39:02

of the Doge unit, which by

39:04

the way, we can reduce discretionary

39:06

spending using rescission. And I'd encourage

39:08

you to encourage your dad. Send

39:10

us a rescission package every month.

39:12

The top three or five examples

39:14

of this grotesque waste fraud and

39:16

abuse package with some other things.

39:18

We'll just cut that spending. We

39:20

can do that without worrying about

39:22

Democrat support. We're not going to

39:24

get Democrat help. They don't care

39:26

about it. Yeah, no. Well, you

39:28

saw it with USAID, I mean,

39:30

when they're cutting, you know, $10

39:32

million for circumcision procedures and Mozambique,

39:34

you know, probably not the best

39:36

use of our funds. I could

39:38

say that as a rational man,

39:40

and yet they're still losing their

39:42

minds, because it's all one big

39:44

kickback scheme to the Democrat party,

39:46

through their NGOs, on whether or

39:48

not you on rescind that spending

39:50

or not. I mean, I'm there

39:52

that it would be so much

39:54

fun on a weekly basis, but

39:56

at least monthly. Here's the rescission

39:58

package. Here's the, here's the top

40:00

three hits. Yep. You know, vote

40:02

on each and every line item.

40:04

I actually, I love that idea

40:06

because, you know, again, once you're

40:08

voting on the line, it's a

40:10

lot harder to hide behind sort

40:12

of the media cover that they're

40:14

going to give you. And I

40:16

think that would expose a lot.

40:18

Well, it would help us in

40:20

the midterms, quite honestly. If you

40:22

can get these Democrats voting against

40:24

cutting that spending on those grotesque

40:26

examples. Exactly. Well, speaking of which,

40:28

I mean, you've recently sort of

40:30

praising RFK and the Maha movement,

40:32

which I think is a really

40:34

big deal, and sort of one

40:36

that's been neglected for a long

40:39

time. You know, talk about what

40:41

that means for your state. We

40:43

actually have a story we just

40:45

broke on the show about the

40:47

efforts by China and their proxies

40:49

to take control of the entire

40:51

health food companies specifically in Wisconsin.

40:53

You know, how big is a

40:55

threat is that actually? Listen,

40:57

I think your dad did a great

40:59

job of pointing out the economic threat

41:01

that China poses to the rest of

41:03

the world, that they're unfair trading and

41:06

manufacturing processes, techniques. So there's no doubt

41:08

about their threat. In terms of the

41:10

Maha movement. The American people want to

41:12

understand what is causing this explosion and

41:14

chronic illness. They want to know what

41:16

is causing autism. They haven't even been

41:18

able to ask that question. People like

41:21

Bobby can, he would be vilified. They'd

41:23

be attacked for just answering those legitimate

41:25

questions. This is where I give, again,

41:27

your dad and Bobby so much credit,

41:29

laying their political differences aside, coming together

41:31

to solve a problem, but in doing

41:33

so, demonstrate this is how you heal

41:36

a horribly divided nation. And that's what

41:38

we need to do. So this is

41:40

something this is something American people want.

41:42

Trust me, I think big farmer, big

41:44

food, they wanted to kill that nomination,

41:46

but your dad stood strong behind him.

41:48

And Republican senators realized this is such

41:51

a popular issue in a completely non-partisan

41:53

way. basis. Yeah. Who doesn't want to

41:55

know why autism rates are up, you

41:57

know, 10 billion percent in the last

41:59

30 years? I mean, I never even

42:01

heard of it when I was a

42:03

kid. And now, you know, it's one

42:06

in 30, it's crazy. And yet no

42:08

one wants to even look at it

42:10

or people were actively campaigning against trying

42:12

to figure it out. We're not saying

42:14

that even one is the answer, but

42:16

something has changed. And we should figure

42:18

out what that is. event I did

42:21

with Bobby Kennedy in case he means

42:23

is we approve food food ingredients by

42:25

generally recognizes safe. So we have 10,000

42:27

ingredients in our foods. Europe actually approves

42:29

them. We've got 400 ingredients. So 400

42:31

versus 10,000. There might be a few

42:33

ingredients that are at least suspect we

42:36

ought to look into that. But you

42:38

know, another thing your dad's not gotten

42:40

credit for is that coalition he's put

42:42

together here of Tulsi Gabbard, of RFK

42:44

Junior, of Elon Musk. That's never happened

42:46

in my almost 70 years of life.

42:48

I've never seen what your dad has

42:51

assembled. It's a powerful coalition of trying

42:53

to fix all these problems. And you

42:55

know the massive number of problems, the

42:57

big messes, the Democrats left behind. And

42:59

again, I just cannot believe how swiftly,

43:01

decisively, boldly your dad is moving forward

43:03

here and addressing all these things simultaneously.

43:06

It's a site to behold. Well, thank

43:08

you very much, I don't know. It's

43:10

great to have you being a part

43:12

of that and fighting for all these

43:14

things that are just common sense. So

43:16

really appreciate your time. I know you

43:18

have other things to do today, but

43:21

I just wanted to thank you for

43:23

job out on and again highlighting the

43:25

importance of that Supreme Court early vote

43:27

in April 1st. It's going to decide

43:29

the Wisconsin Supreme Court guys don't take

43:31

that one lightly. Get involved if you

43:33

know someone in Wisconsin. You know, I'm

43:36

sure through your office, Senator Johnson, you

43:38

could find all the details for that,

43:40

but make sure you vote or your

43:42

friends vote, if they're in Wisconsin, this

43:44

is a really big deal. Don't sit

43:46

it out. That's exactly what the Democrats

43:48

want you to do. Thanks for your

43:51

help in... with Brad Schimel. Take care.

43:53

Thanks. Okay, guys, joining me now. Florida

43:55

Senator, former governor, as well, Rick Scott.

43:57

Great to have you, sir. How are

43:59

you? Where do you live? I live

44:01

in Jupiter. So between Jupiter and West

44:03

Palm. So I'm in Florida. Yeah, no,

44:06

I'm a political refugee from the People's

44:08

Republic of New York. I'm one of

44:10

those that moved to Florida that did

44:12

not bring my BS with me. So

44:14

that's kind of nice. Well, you know,

44:16

if you think about it, look at

44:18

what you've done. In 2010, when I

44:21

won my governance race, there are 568,000

44:23

more Democrats and Republicans. Today, there's, today,

44:25

there's 1.21.3 million more Republicans than Democrats.

44:27

It's changed. There's people like you that

44:29

have come down to Florida. Well, honestly,

44:31

but it's also people who've sort of,

44:33

you know, woken up. I look at

44:36

like Miami- Miami-Dade, which is a very

44:38

left-leaning-leaning, you know, red, reddish, purple. You

44:40

know, I think in 16, we lost

44:42

Miami-Dade by like 30 points, and now

44:44

we won it by 10, you know,

44:46

in an eight-year period. I mean, that's

44:48

a really big deal, and it's the

44:51

people that were voting for Democrats that

44:53

kind of thought they were Democrats, but

44:55

didn't realize they were actually Republicans. They

44:57

just sort of did it historically. And

44:59

I think it actually says a lot.

45:01

for the Democrat Party. You know, they

45:03

can no longer rely on just the

45:06

media telling you they're doing a great

45:08

job. You actually hear what comes out

45:10

of their mouth and realize that it

45:12

does not align with your interests, especially,

45:14

you know, in Miami-Dade, if you're from

45:16

Cuba or Venezuela. You're like, no, no,

45:18

no, they're trying to bring to America

45:21

as a strong... you know red state

45:23

now maybe maybe one of the strongest

45:25

so uh you know that that's a

45:27

really big deal we got to keep

45:29

that going yeah so in the in

45:31

the in the 18 or the say

45:33

was 24 election so think about what

45:36

your dad did in 16 he won

45:38

by but for I think he won

45:40

by a little bit more in 20

45:42

and then he won he won by

45:44

both of us won by 13 points

45:46

and he might have won by 14

45:48

actually 13 and 14 points his last

45:51

election and so it's um thank thank

45:53

god for what he's done to the

45:55

country and we're heading the right direction

45:57

in Florida well you know and thank

45:59

you for staying in it you obviously

46:01

you know a very big in sort

46:03

of Senate leadership you've been fighting really

46:06

hard you you're also one of those

46:08

guys that did really well in business

46:10

before getting into government so you don't

46:12

have to do this job so it's

46:14

always nice to have you know some

46:16

of that acumen being brought to DC

46:18

that doesn't happen often you have sort

46:21

of career bureaucrats that you would not

46:23

have let run even a small division

46:25

of one of your companies and yet

46:27

here they were making trillion dollar decisions

46:29

so that's it's sort of nice to

46:31

see real leadership But you know, if

46:33

you look at what your dad's doing

46:36

and look at what I'm trying to

46:38

do, you're trying to make sure every

46:40

American, whether you grew up rich or

46:42

poor, has a chance to live the

46:44

American dream. I tell people when I

46:46

grew up, I grew up in a

46:48

very poor family, but whether you're rich

46:51

or poor back then, your parents told

46:53

you the same thing. You got to

46:55

go get an education and you got

46:57

to go work your butt off, right?

46:59

With the Democrats to tell you the

47:01

opposite. Oh no, we're going to take

47:03

care of you're going to take care

47:06

of you, but you, but you know,

47:08

but you know they can't, but you

47:10

know they can't, but you know they

47:12

can't, but you know they can't, but

47:14

you know they can't, but you know

47:16

they can't, you know they can't, Right.

47:18

And they've ruined the, they ruin the

47:21

job market, they ruin the education system,

47:23

they make the country dangerous. None of

47:25

it, what the Democrats are doing, are

47:27

good for us. Yeah, if it wasn't

47:29

for the bureaucracy, I don't, I don't

47:31

think they'd be able to take care

47:33

of themselves in the real world, let

47:36

alone others. So, you know, hopefully the

47:38

exposure to that is, you know, is

47:40

telling to a lot of people. Yeah.

47:42

Be more smart. So, and by the

47:44

way, thank you for caring so much

47:46

about Latin America. Your interest in Venezuela,

47:48

in Nicaragua, in Cuba, in Colombia, and

47:51

all of Latin America is really important.

47:53

As you know, it's really important to

47:55

Floridians. About 20% of the population in

47:57

Florida speak Spanish. Many of them came

47:59

from Cuba. any place where they've had

48:01

problems, you know, our safe haven is

48:04

Florida. Yeah, well, but it's also a

48:06

doorstep to America, right? We spend, you

48:08

know, what would be endless sums in

48:10

Ukraine. Most people couldn't find out on

48:12

a map. My father called it pretty

48:14

well with saying there's an entire ocean

48:16

between us. You know, here, if you

48:18

can come here quite literally in some

48:20

cases on a raft, like, that seems

48:22

like it's a little bit more on

48:24

our doorstep, you know, than some of

48:27

these other places that we're able to

48:29

spend trillions. Yeah, and by the way,

48:31

thank you for doing the podcast

48:33

with Maria Karina Machado. That was

48:35

my pleasure. You really have to,

48:37

you really have to really respect

48:39

and admire her. Yeah, as you

48:41

know, she's in hiding now because Maduro

48:44

wants to kill her. If you're dead,

48:46

you know, saved her life when he

48:48

was vocal when she was captured. So

48:50

the fight for the fight for freedom

48:52

of Cuba is really important.

48:55

And it's important to ours

48:57

national security. But Maduro is

48:59

doing with the drugs and sending

49:02

criminals here and things like that.

49:04

I mean, we all have to understand

49:06

this is happening right now in our

49:08

country because a bad prior policy,

49:10

and especially what Biden did for

49:12

his four years. Well, I mean,

49:15

it seems intentional. Maybe that's why

49:17

it's start off. We're seeing, you

49:19

know, my father's taking historic steps

49:22

to actually hold our adversaries accountable.

49:24

I mean, I know that's shocking.

49:26

I mean, it feels like what

49:28

you should be doing, but... That

49:31

wasn't happening under Biden. Today the

49:33

administration blacklisted over 50 Chinese companies

49:35

relating to AI technology and harming

49:37

U.S. national security interests earlier this

49:40

week. My father also slapped secondary,

49:42

you know, 25% tariffs on any

49:44

country buying oil from Venezuela, obviously.

49:46

You know not exactly what we'd

49:48

say a good actor if they're

49:50

sending you know violent criminal drug-dealing

49:53

murderers to our shores while Simultaneously

49:55

emptying out their prisons probably probably

49:57

not an ally Senator can you

49:59

talk? about the effect of all of

50:01

that. I mean, it's hard to believe

50:03

that, A, there's any resistance to it.

50:05

It's hard to believe that the opposite

50:08

was happening for four years under Joe

50:10

Biden, and no one said anything. But

50:12

what do you see as the overall

50:14

effect of what's going on right now?

50:16

I think, first off, what your dad

50:18

has done is he's. He is forcing

50:20

our allies to do their part. That's

50:22

one thing he's doing, right? The other

50:24

thing he's doing, he's letting our enemies

50:26

know they're not going to have an

50:28

impeachment in the White House. Biden wasn't

50:31

a peace. So he's not going to

50:33

say, oh, Cuba, we don't care that

50:35

you put him, you know, young kids

50:37

in prison for a peaceful process. Your

50:39

dad's going to hold the regime of

50:41

Cuba accountable. If you look at, look

50:43

at, in Maduro case, he's not letting

50:45

them, get more money through oil. which

50:47

your dad stopped this before, Biden allowed

50:49

them to start selling all of you.

50:51

And that money goes to Maduro and

50:54

helps him oppress people. He's telling anybody

50:56

who wants to do business with them.

50:58

You know, you're not going to do

51:00

business with the United States, or you're

51:02

going to pay, you're going to pay

51:04

a heavy price. So that's another way

51:06

he's holding Maduro accountable. He is highlighting

51:08

the plight of at Mount Gonzales, the

51:10

duly elected president and Marie Corinne Machado.

51:12

So he's doing that. He's doing the

51:14

gangs that came from Venezuela. to El

51:16

Salvador. I mean, that was a great

51:19

day, which your dad did. I mean,

51:21

so, I mean, and then, you know,

51:23

the video, what happened to them when

51:25

they got to El Salvador? Yeah. I

51:27

mean, these were criminals that Joe Biden

51:29

said, oh, it's okay. I don't care

51:31

about Americans. I don't care about how

51:33

dangerous it is. So, so if you,

51:35

if you just look at what he's

51:37

done just with Venezuela, just with Venezuela,

51:39

What are we doing? Are we pretty?

51:42

Are we the United States friend? Are

51:44

we their enemy? She... has decided to

51:46

be our enemy, right? So she has

51:48

decided to build a military to defeat

51:50

us. She has decided to try to

51:52

steal all of her jobs. She has

51:54

decided to threaten Taiwan. We didn't pick

51:56

him as an enemy. He made that

51:58

choice. And so these things. The world

52:00

is waking up. There's a new sheriff

52:02

in town. Your dad's doing a great

52:05

job. And look, he's got great team.

52:07

A lot of him from Florida, Marco

52:09

Rubio, Michael Walsam, Pam Bondi, and others.

52:11

He's putting together a great team of

52:13

people that are really focused on doing

52:15

the right things. Yeah, let's get into

52:17

the Venezuela stuff a little bit because

52:19

we recently learned that the Biden administration,

52:21

basically had a secret deal. to let

52:23

Chevron pay hundreds of millions of dollars

52:25

to the Maduro regime, a regime that

52:27

we didn't even legally recognize, you know,

52:30

before, and again, despite it being totally

52:32

illegal, you know, just how corrupt... was

52:34

the Biden administration? And do we think

52:36

there's other existing, you know, federal contractors

52:38

involved? I mean, it doesn't, you know,

52:40

given, you know, what we know about

52:42

10% for the big guy, you know,

52:44

maybe hunters on the board of Chevron,

52:46

who knows, whatever it may be, you

52:48

know, how deep does all of this

52:50

really go? Because I can't imagine it

52:53

just faced value that you'd let a

52:55

dictatorial regime that you didn't recognize, basically

52:57

siphon off hundreds of millions of millions

52:59

of dollars. It doesn't seem like there.

53:01

for the US in that and as

53:03

lost as the Democrats may be, you

53:05

know, I don't take anything like that

53:07

at face value anymore. It seems like

53:09

it has to be more. Sure. You

53:11

know, you know, they write life when

53:13

something doesn't seem right, it's probably not

53:16

right, right? I mean, it's pretty simple.

53:18

But yeah, it didn't, it never made

53:20

sense because remember what Biden said, he

53:22

said, oh, we're going to let him

53:24

do this oil deal, make some money

53:26

here, but he's promised. that he's going

53:28

to have a real election, right? And

53:30

then, wink, wink. He kicked Maria Karina

53:32

Machado off the ballot. Oh, the Biden

53:34

is. didn't do anything. He watched they

53:36

watched them. He stole the election. He

53:39

stole the election. Okay. Well, she won

53:41

by 43 points, right? Like just so

53:43

just so everyone's clear. I mean, that's

53:45

even their statistics. They just didn't care,

53:47

right? It's not like there was a

53:49

fudge factor or it was close and

53:51

they won by two points. I mean,

53:53

she won in a landslide. And it's

53:55

like, that doesn't matter. We're going to

53:57

stay in power. And they did nothing.

53:59

The same people screaming, by the same,

54:01

by the same people screaming, by the

54:04

way, by the way, by the way,

54:06

by the way, by the way, by

54:08

the way, by the way, by the

54:10

way, by the way, by the way,

54:12

by the way, by the way, by

54:14

the, by the, by the, by the,

54:16

by the, by the, by the, by

54:18

the, by the, by the, by the,

54:20

by the, by the, by the, by

54:22

the, by the, by Yeah, they did.

54:24

The Biden administration did nothing. They didn't

54:27

care. There's not a dictator in the

54:29

world that I've watched that the Biden

54:31

administration held accountable. So why was that?

54:33

Right. What was it? What was it?

54:35

What was it? What was it? There's

54:37

no rationale that you could, you know

54:39

of for that. And why don't they

54:41

care about the people of Venezuela? don't

54:43

they care about the people Cuba or

54:45

are they don't care about any of

54:47

their stuff they there so something was

54:50

wrong in the whole thing but and

54:52

you know if the other thing you

54:54

really have to admire Marie and Korean

54:56

Machado what she did was to prove

54:58

she won the election how they went

55:00

they they got the the little tickets

55:02

from each of the polling stations to

55:04

show how the votes came out that

55:06

was that was gutsy on her part

55:08

and it was not easy and you

55:10

know Maduro's gone after all those people

55:12

that were part of that were part

55:15

of that So, yeah, when she was

55:17

on, she was talking, I mean, you

55:19

know, if she went and got lunch

55:21

while driving from one place or the

55:23

other, because they wouldn't let her fly,

55:25

they wouldn't let her do anything, so

55:27

she drove around the country. I mean,

55:29

if they served her or her team

55:31

lunch at a restaurant that she paid

55:33

for, they'd shut down the business. I

55:35

mean, you'd think they'd have a problem

55:38

with that, but apparently not. It's like...

55:40

But you name all of them. You

55:42

look at, they didn't hold Iran accountable.

55:44

They didn't have China accountable. Cuba, Venezuela,

55:46

Nicaragua, Colombia. I mean, the president of

55:48

Colombia is a complete, he's a terrorist.

55:50

And they brought invited him to the

55:52

White House. I mean, this stuff's crazy.

55:54

But I'm, you know, look, I'm, I'm.

55:56

I'm optimistic because President Trump cares. I'm

55:58

optimistic because Mike Waltz cares. I'm optimistic

56:01

because Mark Arubio cares. And as a

56:03

team, they're going to get this done.

56:05

Senator, you know, maybe we've talked about

56:07

sort of the bad foreign adversaries, but

56:09

can you talk a little bit about

56:11

the cartel threat? I mean, we've obviously

56:13

seen, you know, the FBI under new

56:15

leadership making that a priority. What can

56:17

then all look like to keep America

56:19

safe? just a clear and present danger

56:21

to the United States. You know, I

56:23

think Maduro is really bad. I think

56:26

the people he's sitting here really bad.

56:28

Like, the cartels are killing with fentanyl,

56:30

100,000 Americans a year, and people are

56:32

not even talking, I mean, that's two

56:34

Vietnam's a year instead of over, you

56:36

know, a 12, 13 year period, like

56:38

the Vietnam War, and it's almost like

56:40

a, it's not even a talking point

56:42

anymore. You know, how do we take

56:44

on the cartels that threat and deal

56:46

with it as we should? Well, number

56:49

one, the precursors are made in China.

56:51

This is intentional by the Chinese government.

56:53

They're shipped to Mexico. The cartel makes

56:55

sure they get into the United States.

56:57

The cartel, cartels have been making billions

56:59

of dollars. The Biden administration, completely, I

57:01

mean, think about this. They completely dismantled

57:03

what your dad set up. So, I've

57:05

gone to the border bunch. And when

57:07

Biden took office, what happened is the

57:09

wall that your dad got done. They

57:12

opened the gates. The cameras and stuff,

57:14

they shut the electricity off. The roads

57:16

that your dad was building so Border

57:18

Patrol could get there, they just stopped

57:20

all that. I mean, it's like, what

57:22

are you thinking? It was all intentional.

57:24

So about last year, 78,000 Americans died

57:26

of fit in all overdose. 78,000. Okay,

57:28

over 100,000 people died last year of

57:30

drug overdose. Now all of us know

57:32

somebody that's been impacted. A family member,

57:35

I had a brother that just passed

57:37

away last year, he had become a

57:39

drug addict in an alcohol. It's devastating

57:41

to him and devastating to our family

57:43

what these people go through. So in

57:45

by administration just didn't care, just open

57:47

their door, you know, it's okay, we

57:49

don't care. So your dad has shut

57:51

the border down and now what he's

57:53

doing, he's going to make sure these

57:55

cartels get held accountable. And because of

57:57

his actions by talking about the tariffs

58:00

and things like that, finally the Mexican

58:02

government. is going to actually have to

58:04

be a part. They're going to have

58:06

to send troops to the border. They're

58:08

going to have to send cartel here

58:10

when we have a restaurant for them.

58:12

And, you know, whatever it's going to

58:14

take, I think your dad's going to

58:16

do it to get American safe. I

58:18

think he knows the importance of each

58:20

of our families. The most important thing

58:23

is your kids, you know, your family,

58:25

you know, I mean, no, no one

58:27

is immune from the fentanyl thing. I

58:29

mean, the amount of kids I know,

58:31

just, it's not, it's not, it's not,

58:33

It is an indiscriminate killer. You know,

58:35

we all know someone, you know, very

58:37

close and, you know, just, that would

58:39

have, could have been an otherwise, you

58:41

know, a rock star in and of

58:43

themselves. And, you know, the amount of

58:46

college kids I hear about, they're, you

58:48

know, all-star this, straight A, they, you

58:50

know, they think they're doing something, having

58:52

some fun, you know, playing around as

58:54

a college kid, and they dropped out

58:56

on the floor in three seconds. you

58:58

know, how exactly these cartels are able

59:00

to operate. We've just sort of just

59:02

got, you know, they're essentially funded by

59:04

the arms of certain governments, you know,

59:06

but, you know, all right. Are they

59:08

like their own government? I mean, do

59:11

they function, you know, almost as their

59:13

own sort of state actors, you know,

59:15

with Mexico? I love that they're sending

59:17

the military to the border, but, you

59:19

know, how many of those people are

59:21

on the payroll and looking the other

59:23

way when it matters? And, you know,

59:25

here's a token bust every once in

59:27

a while. You know, what does that

59:29

all look like? Because it does feel

59:31

very complicated. I think it's just complete,

59:34

it's a complete crime ring. Some of

59:36

it is the cartel, some of it

59:38

is the elected officials, some of it

59:40

is the law enforcement, some of it

59:42

is the military. It is all these

59:44

things together. I was told the other

59:46

day, I mean, unbelievable number of people

59:48

running for office in Mexico were killed

59:50

in the last 12 months. So if

59:52

you run because you want to make

59:54

your family safe, you want to stop

59:57

the corruption, you want to stop the

59:59

crime? I mean, your risk of staying

1:00:01

alive is really reduced. So it's going

1:00:03

to be hard. to do their part

1:00:05

and we're going to have to do

1:00:07

our part. But it's just a big,

1:00:09

it's a big business. It's big. I

1:00:11

mean, think it's a billion dollar business.

1:00:13

Oh, I think it's much more than

1:00:15

that. I mean, I would say it's

1:00:17

multiples every year. And the down channel

1:00:20

on that, you watch these things, you

1:00:22

see some of the videos, you know,

1:00:24

the cartels taking on the military and

1:00:26

winning, because they have better equipment, they're

1:00:28

more heavily funded, better training. You know,

1:00:30

I mean, they're basically a well-trained state

1:00:32

actor. Yeah, and yeah, who knows where

1:00:34

they're getting all their information, but I

1:00:36

imagine it's it's across the board. So

1:00:38

here's what we have to think about.

1:00:40

Number one thing, you as a consumer

1:00:42

can do, okay, is understand the government

1:00:45

has of China wants to demolish your

1:00:47

way of life and they're doing it.

1:00:49

They're killing your relatives, they're killing your

1:00:51

friends through their fentanyl. They're stealing jobs

1:00:53

through lion. Like your dad did a

1:00:55

great trade deal. with China in his

1:00:57

first term, they never complied and the

1:00:59

Biden administration didn't make him do it.

1:01:01

So your dad's doing everything he can

1:01:03

to, but what you can do as

1:01:05

a consumer, stop buying their stuff, start

1:01:08

helping them build their military to defeat

1:01:10

us. And then with regard to what

1:01:12

your dad's doing with Mexico, we need

1:01:14

to support him. We need to, you

1:01:16

know, the other thing I tell people,

1:01:18

you've, you know, you've got to be

1:01:20

supportive when people are doing the right

1:01:22

thing. Yeah. It's hard to do what

1:01:24

your dad's doing every day. And think

1:01:26

about what he went through his four

1:01:28

years with all the law fair. I

1:01:31

mean, even now, think about the media

1:01:33

is not on his side. not a

1:01:35

Democrat up here that's going to help

1:01:37

us. It's hard what he's trying to

1:01:39

do. So speaking of not having much

1:01:41

help from the Democrats, you know, on

1:01:43

spending, I know, you know, obviously that's

1:01:45

a big deal right now. You know,

1:01:47

is there a path to actually, you

1:01:49

know, balancing the budget? It feels like

1:01:51

what we're spending now relative to 2019,

1:01:53

it's an extra $2 trillion and we've

1:01:56

just made it. Oh, well, that's the

1:01:58

new norm. You know, I can see

1:02:00

COVID being an anomaly, but the fact

1:02:02

that there's an unwillingness to go back

1:02:04

to what was, you know, not centuries

1:02:06

ago, not decades ago, you know, a

1:02:08

few short years ago, you know, how

1:02:10

do we get there? Is it just,

1:02:12

you know, literally exposing each and every

1:02:14

line item and making a straight face?

1:02:16

try to support some of the things

1:02:19

they found at USAID and or you

1:02:21

know I'm sure everywhere else once you

1:02:23

know Doge gets into it. So here's

1:02:25

here's how bad the numbers are. In

1:02:27

the last five years we've seen a

1:02:29

2% increase in the US population. What

1:02:31

do you think is we've seen an

1:02:33

increase in federal spending as a percentage?

1:02:35

What do you guess? of deficits. Now,

1:02:37

here's, I think the last election was

1:02:39

about these things. I think securing the

1:02:42

border and getting inflation under control. There

1:02:44

are a lot of other issues, but

1:02:46

those I think were the two biggest

1:02:48

issues. The only way to get inflation

1:02:50

under control, your dad's doing everything, we

1:02:52

gotta do things. We gotta give your

1:02:54

dad the money so he can secure

1:02:56

the border and get rid of the

1:02:58

bad guys, right? That's number one. Number

1:03:00

two, we gotta make sure the military

1:03:02

gets built up. so we can defend

1:03:04

ourselves. But we got to figure out

1:03:07

how to balance a budget. So the,

1:03:09

we've got to do what, you know,

1:03:11

we got to do what you do.

1:03:13

Like, you have to live within your

1:03:15

means. Every family has to live within

1:03:17

the means. By the way, when I

1:03:19

became governor of Florida in January 2011,

1:03:21

Florida had not lived with. this means

1:03:23

in 20 years. They're going to default

1:03:25

on debts. So here's why I did.

1:03:27

This is so controversial. You love this.

1:03:30

I said, what are we going to

1:03:32

collect? I said, we're not going to

1:03:34

spend more than that. Shocking! How hard

1:03:36

is that? How hard is that? Right?

1:03:38

Yeah, and it's not like that, you

1:03:40

know, the Democrats will flip it. Like

1:03:42

if you cut something, you'll say, they're

1:03:44

cutting Social Security. You could literally leave

1:03:46

that alone, not touch any of those

1:03:48

things that are, And there's still like

1:03:50

1.5 trillion dollars in garbage, new things

1:03:53

that have been created. That will never

1:03:55

be the messaging. You're cutting something that

1:03:57

you're not cutting just because that's an

1:03:59

effective sound bite, even if it's not

1:04:01

realistic. And so we have to figure

1:04:03

out how to break through that noise.

1:04:05

How would you do that? So I

1:04:07

think what you do is take Social

1:04:09

Security. We ought to be very clear,

1:04:11

like your dad has been. We are

1:04:13

going to protect Social Security benefits. Medicare

1:04:16

benefits, right? And then we're going to

1:04:18

get rid of the fraud abuse. What

1:04:20

should Medicaid be? Medicaid is supposed to

1:04:22

be for the benefit of a child.

1:04:24

That's what it is. Medicaid is for

1:04:26

the benefit of a poor child or

1:04:28

somebody has a chronic illness. That's what

1:04:30

that should be. So guess what? Do

1:04:32

you think that you should be able

1:04:34

to get Medicaid, food stamps, public housing,

1:04:36

if you decide I don't want to

1:04:38

have a job? I don't want to

1:04:41

have a job. I just want to

1:04:43

stay home every home every day. That's

1:04:45

pretty simple. Should New York get paid

1:04:47

three times for every Medicaid recipient as

1:04:49

Florida and then Portary he'll get less?

1:04:51

No, that makes no sense, right? Should

1:04:53

we pay states more money to take

1:04:55

care of an able-bodied male that doesn't

1:04:57

want to work versus some child that

1:04:59

has a chronic condition? That's simple. So

1:05:01

what we got to do is got

1:05:04

to go through that. But Ron Johnson

1:05:06

will go through. He's, I mean, he

1:05:08

says, if we went back to Clinton.

1:05:10

his last budget where we balance the

1:05:12

budget and we raise spending all right

1:05:14

by population and by and take today's

1:05:16

Social Security, today's Medicare money, all right,

1:05:18

we balance the budget. Yeah. And we

1:05:20

balanced how hard. Even if you go

1:05:22

back to your dad's 2019 projection of

1:05:24

a budget for 2025 and did that

1:05:27

stuff, we would be really close to

1:05:29

being balanced. That's how bad this is.

1:05:31

Yeah. So what we've got to do

1:05:33

as Republicans is we've got to do

1:05:35

what your dad has said. He wants

1:05:37

to balance a budget. He wants to

1:05:39

protect Medicare. Protect Social Security. Make sure.

1:05:41

make sure poor kids have health care.

1:05:43

So what we've got to do is

1:05:45

Republicans in the House, the Senate, we've

1:05:47

got to come together and give him

1:05:49

the tools to be able to do

1:05:52

this. So more broadly, talk about how

1:05:54

you've seen this new magga coalition broadened

1:05:56

across the state of Florida. It seems

1:05:58

that we've built something that can actually

1:06:00

really last here. I mean, it's very

1:06:02

diverse, it's very different than it was.

1:06:04

Even for me in 16 going around,

1:06:06

it's not just, you know, the white

1:06:08

guy in a magga hat anymore saying,

1:06:10

okay, hey, this is ridiculous, let's do

1:06:12

it. I mean, it's everyone. We also

1:06:15

have these key special elections coming up

1:06:17

in Florida, one in Florida, six, right?

1:06:19

The Matt Gates seat, as well as

1:06:21

the Mike Wall seat. You know, it

1:06:23

does feel like... Our people are actually

1:06:25

pretty happy with what's going on, but

1:06:27

they're not necessarily paying attention to those

1:06:29

details, that you could lose control of

1:06:31

the House, not because they wouldn't be

1:06:33

involved, but because the Democrats are frantically

1:06:35

trying to stop them from having a

1:06:38

success, and the Republicans are just sort

1:06:40

of sitting on their laurels, being like,

1:06:42

hey, we're getting everything we want, we're

1:06:44

not in the game. Right. Well, first

1:06:46

of all, they go with the coalition

1:06:48

data that is put together. So like

1:06:50

you said before we won Miami we

1:06:52

won in November 2024 by 10 points

1:06:54

we won the sheriff's race the tax

1:06:56

collectors race the property appraisers race every

1:06:58

every county race we won we won

1:07:01

all right and this everyone said oh

1:07:03

you're gonna lose by two or 20

1:07:05

points but because the coalition your dad

1:07:07

created okay and then we so all

1:07:09

think about Everybody in Florida says, this

1:07:11

is better for me if I have

1:07:13

a president that is going to focus

1:07:15

on making sure my kids go to

1:07:17

education, make sure decisions are made local

1:07:19

on education, make sure I can get

1:07:21

a good job, make sure I can

1:07:23

stay safe. So that's what's happened. He's

1:07:26

brought a lot of energy. Now, here's

1:07:28

what we're dealing with right now. We've

1:07:30

got two special elections, like you said,

1:07:32

Jimmy, Mike Waltz and Matt Gates. So

1:07:34

those are April one, so next Tuesday

1:07:36

I think it is. We've got to

1:07:38

get our vote out. And here's what

1:07:40

happens with special elections. It's hard to

1:07:42

get people even even know there's a

1:07:44

special election. So take Randy Fine's race,

1:07:46

which is Mike Wolsey. The Democrat has

1:07:49

raised, now this is a seat that

1:07:51

historically has been, Mike Walsh won by

1:07:53

a big, I think, 20 plus points.

1:07:55

So you would say, oh, this should

1:07:57

be an easy race. Well, here's the

1:07:59

problem. The Democrat has raised over $10

1:08:01

million. you know, and you know, they

1:08:03

lie, you know, about what he's done.

1:08:05

It makes it hard. So we, here's

1:08:07

what I've been doing, telephone, town halls

1:08:09

for Randy, and I'm doing everything I

1:08:12

can. We have got to vote. We

1:08:14

have got to vote. We have got

1:08:16

to get out to vote in both

1:08:18

of these elections. Yeah, so if you're

1:08:20

watching, if you're from Florida, if you

1:08:22

live in one or six, or if

1:08:24

you're anywhere in the country, and you

1:08:26

have friends that live in Matt Gates,

1:08:28

Matt Gates Old District, like old district,

1:08:30

like, understand. in literally about a week

1:08:32

next Tuesday, you have an election that

1:08:34

could decide essentially control of Congress. You

1:08:37

know, they could stop this momentum right

1:08:39

now. The Democrats are well funded, you

1:08:41

know they're getting all sorts of crazy

1:08:43

outside money, you know they're flooding the

1:08:45

zone, they're mobilizing to try to stop

1:08:47

all of the sanity. that has been

1:08:49

going on from continuing. So if you

1:08:51

guys aren't paying attention, make sure you

1:08:53

are, make sure you're calling your friends,

1:08:55

make sure you vote, donate, contribute, like

1:08:57

do not sit this one out. Just

1:09:00

because Trump's not at the top of

1:09:02

the ticket or it's not a center,

1:09:04

you know, these are, this could be

1:09:06

control of Congress, essentially. in these two

1:09:08

seats that I actually mentioned Senator Ron

1:09:10

Johnson he's on the show tonight because

1:09:12

we have that special election that's going

1:09:14

to decide the Supreme Court in Wisconsin

1:09:16

which is redistricting which is men and

1:09:18

women sports which is literally everything we've

1:09:20

been fighting for and there's a radical

1:09:23

leftist that's very well funded probably a

1:09:25

little bit ahead right now in Wisconsin

1:09:27

and again our guys don't even know

1:09:29

about it if they showed up like

1:09:31

they did for Trump this thing's over

1:09:33

but they're not paying attention. So make

1:09:35

sure that you guys are paying attention.

1:09:37

You've done a great work in the

1:09:39

Senate doing that for so many other

1:09:41

people, you know, on the Senate side.

1:09:43

But we got to remember everything all

1:09:45

the way down to dog catcher right

1:09:48

now. But you know, the way you

1:09:50

win Senate races, the way you win

1:09:52

statewide races, is you win all the

1:09:54

county, are you win all the congressional

1:09:56

seats? You win all those? You win

1:09:58

statewide. So we've got to win the

1:10:00

Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. because all

1:10:02

of our success in Wisconsin will go

1:10:04

away. And we've got to keep these

1:10:06

seats in Florida because it could be

1:10:08

the difference between a majority and a

1:10:11

minority. So we've got to win these

1:10:13

seats. So I know on Randy Finds

1:10:15

it's vote randyfying.com and you can get

1:10:17

on there, you can donate, you can

1:10:19

make phone calls, so you can volunteer,

1:10:21

but we've got to get people vote,

1:10:23

vote, vote, vote. And you can do

1:10:25

it in Florida as you know, we

1:10:27

have early voting, so you can go

1:10:29

vote today. So you can go vote

1:10:31

today. Yeah, make sure you guys are

1:10:34

doing that. It's paramount. Wisconsin, same thing.

1:10:36

You know, getting the game, it's, you

1:10:38

know, eight days out. Let's make sure

1:10:40

that happens. Senator, you know, while I

1:10:42

have you, what else can you preview

1:10:44

about what you're working on in the

1:10:46

Senate and what we should keep out

1:10:48

our eyes out for over there? By

1:10:50

the way, Ron Johnson is great. The

1:10:52

real driver right now of fiscal sanity

1:10:54

up here is Ron Johnson. He is

1:10:57

really driving that. And so you're gonna

1:10:59

have a great time talking to him.

1:11:01

So here's what we're doing right now.

1:11:03

We're trying to get your dad's nominees

1:11:05

through. The way the Senate works is

1:11:07

that each, well, it's a cabinet level

1:11:09

nominee. There's 30 hours of. Now, typically,

1:11:11

the other party would say, well, if

1:11:13

I'm tired of talking, I'll let you

1:11:15

go ahead and vote on them. But

1:11:17

they don't. So that's why, as we

1:11:19

worked really hard to get your dad's

1:11:22

nominees time, now all the lower level,

1:11:24

like the assistant secretaries, the ambassadors, US

1:11:26

attorneys, those are two hours. So basically,

1:11:28

every three hours we can do a

1:11:30

nominee, because the Democrats won't let us

1:11:32

do, you know, do them as a

1:11:34

group or anything like that, even though

1:11:36

they know they're going to pass. We've

1:11:38

got 53 Republicans, we're voting together. So

1:11:40

we're, well, we're, the biggest thing we're

1:11:42

doing right now is we're getting your

1:11:45

dad's nominees done and we're doing today.

1:11:47

We just got Dan Bishop done is

1:11:49

number two at OMB. We've got, we

1:11:51

just got the assistant U.S. Attorney Attorney

1:11:53

General done today. So we've got, I

1:11:55

think we have four more today. And

1:11:57

then we're also working on. We can

1:11:59

do a vote to get rid of

1:12:01

regulations that Biden did the last few

1:12:03

months of his nominate of his term.

1:12:05

So we're working on some of those

1:12:08

today. Then we're working really hard on

1:12:10

how do we. Give your dad the

1:12:12

money for, secure the border, deport the

1:12:14

criminals, the terrorists, the narco-traffickers. Number two,

1:12:16

build up the military. Number three, extend

1:12:18

the Trump tax cuts. If we don't

1:12:20

extend the Trump tax cuts, that's over

1:12:22

$4 trillion tax increase on Americans. Four

1:12:24

trillion dollars. Not one Democrat is going

1:12:26

to help us with this. And then

1:12:28

we've got to focus on doing what

1:12:30

what your dad and all of his

1:12:33

his agency heads are doing and he

1:12:35

long must, is getting. Get rid of

1:12:37

the wasteful spending. So that's what we're

1:12:39

working on right now. Those are the

1:12:41

big things. But I'm, look, I'm very

1:12:43

optimistic. I'm very optimistic that we're going

1:12:45

to get done. One thing I forgot

1:12:47

to bring up when we're talking about

1:12:49

Venezuela is I have, when I was

1:12:51

governor of Florida, I passed legislation that

1:12:53

said, if you do business with Maduro,

1:12:56

you don't do business with the state

1:12:58

of Florida. I have a bill I'm

1:13:00

going to be filing today or this

1:13:02

week. It's called the Bulliver Act, which

1:13:04

will do the same thing with the

1:13:06

federal government. You're not going to do

1:13:08

business with the U.S. government. want

1:13:10

to to business business with

1:13:12

Maduro. So we've, the types

1:13:14

of things we

1:13:16

have to keep doing.

1:13:19

have to keep I I

1:13:21

it. Thank you so

1:13:23

much, so Scott from

1:13:25
