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

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
sponsors, all family pharma. Guys, you've
24:38
seen how hard it can be
24:40
to access medications like Ivermectin, and

24:46
you're prepared in a time of
24:48
crisis. That's why I want to
24:50

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
the Rick of Florida.

1:13:37

in Florida, if
1:13:46

1:13:50
in those special elections.
1:13:52
Florida, everyone Fundamentally April to
1:13:54
stay engaged, stay
1:13:56

1:13:58

each and every
