Speaker 1 (00:02):
The news you need to start your day, and the
bomb beach is at the Treasure Ghost.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
This is the Brian Mud Show.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
We are thirteen days away from inauguration day, the one
hundred and nineteenth Congress already in session, the Joint Session
yesterday that ended up confirming the election win of President
elect Donald Trump and someone on hand and ready to
work on the make America Great Again agenda along with
(00:32):
his own ambitious agenda.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Florida Senator Rick Scott, Happy New Year.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Senator, Well, happy new year. We've got majority in the House,
majority in the Senate in thirteen days. When we have
the White House, we better start getting stuff done. So
I'm gonna I've got my agenda. I'm going to do
anything it can to help Trump's agenda get done. I'm
gonna get his nominees confirmed, and we're going to start
to fix in this country.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
As I recall a Florida governor one saying, it's time
to get to work, and there is a lot to
get done here, and I want to start just real
quick with the confirmation process, something that's on my radar,
you know. And Trump's first administration, it took him ninety
seven days to get his whole cabinet confirmed. Almost his
entire first one hundred days consumed with just getting his
(01:17):
people in place, and that really was part of slowing
him down and not getting more accomplished. I noticed that
already next week on the agenda, there are ten of
the hearing scheduled for nominees that require Cenate confirmation, possibly
more that could end up getting scheduled. Tell us a
little bit about what it's looking like in the Senate
(01:39):
confirmation process for Trump's nominees.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, you're right, I mean, this is this is just
was obstruction by the Democrats, and Mitch mcconnald didn't put
a lot of effort in to making sure it happened,
because the way it works is regarded the through committee,
which we can get done actually before the audience, right
before Trump is nominated, and then we're just going to
(02:04):
have to stay here to get these confirmed. If the
Democrats want to play hardball, then what we have to
do is we have to just stay here to get
them accomplished, because it takes so many hours per nominee
and of debate, and so if the Democrats are going
to slow us down, then our job is to just
sit here work day in, day out, seven days a
(02:26):
week to get this done.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Is there a growing sense of.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Collaboration at this point given the broad mandate by President
Trump and also that his approval rating is the highest it's.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Ever been incluting for his transition at this point, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think, I think right now, Republicans are united now.
The Democrats are not going to help us. I mean
I'm not. I've not seen any Democrats say that they're
going to help get these nominees accomplished. So, I mean
it's going to be a fight. It's going to take
all Republicans working together to get good things done. It's
(03:11):
going to be the President use in his pulpit to
get things done, and we're just going to have to,
you know, you know, start working. If we have to
work seven days a week to get this accomplished with
that's what we're going to have to do.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
As Senator, something that I was thrilled to see as
you rolled out your legislative priorities for the one hundred
and nineteenth Congress. Right at the top, something that I
have been with you on since you signed it into
law as governor of Florida, the Sunshine Protection Act, something
that's years ago.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Back in was a twenty seventeen twenty eighteen that you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Sided into law, but that we needed federal recognition of
and we have yet been able to get. Senator Rubio,
when you were still governor, first proposed it in the Senate.
You have each Congress since you arrived in the Senate
joined Senator u bo in uh, trying to move that along.
Now one point actually got it through the Senate, but
(04:05):
the House when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker, did not take
it up. Tell us about the Sunshine Protection Act, And
with Republicans in complete control of Congress and a Lordian
who is President of the United States, is this the
year that we finally put an end to time changes?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I would hope. So if we need to lock the clock, yeah,
we got this done when I was governor, but it's
still something to the federal government allowing us to do
it in Florida. So this practice of changing the clocks
just doesn't make any sense. So I'm optimistic. The President
said it's something he wants to get accomplished, so you know,
(04:46):
we'll get more daylight state, you know, daylight and uh
and sort of this way, so uh for the times
that people want to you know, they they want day
daylight later, you know, in the afternoon and stuff. So
so I'm up the miss that that's what will happen now,
that we'll get this done this this year. But it's
going to take the President to weigh in because unfortunately
(05:08):
it's not been a high priority for some of the
senators up here.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, and for folks who are wondering what exactly this
would mean. Let's say that the Sunshine Protection Act gets
passed as Senator Scott is proposing it, we would re
enter daylight saving time this spring and then stay there
and that'd be the end of it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We'd be done. Happy day, God bless America.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it'd be permanent.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, sure enough.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now, in taking a look at a lot of your
other proposals, it's ambitious, including one that I think just
about every American, regardless of political persuasion, could get behind,
the no Budget, No Pay Act.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Tell us a little bit about this very simple right.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
If you don't do your job, you don't get paid. Well,
if we don't pass the budget, which we haven't done
the six years I've been up here, they haven't done
it forever up here. We just do spending bills. We
don't do it by we shouldn't get paid. So it's
as simple as that we can we can, we can.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Do a budget.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I did this every year as governor, a balance and
budget every year. So it's real simple. I want to
get a budget done. The way to deal with this
is that if you're not going to do it, you
shouldn't get paid. What they'll do is they say, oh,
we worked hard, No they didn't. I'm on the budget.
May we only have meetings about the budget. Hopefully this
year we will and we'll get a budget done. But
(06:27):
if not, we shouldn't get paid.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Some transparency and some truth and broadcasting right there from
Senator Scott. Another one that I know is front center
of the minds of many in our state.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The Protect Our Seniors Act.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
This about the illumining insolvency of the Social Security and
Medicare programs.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Tell us about this, well, Medicare goes bankrupt in five
or six years and social Security in twelve or thirteen years.
That's not there. It's not fair people that have been
relying on this. So my bill is clear, we're going
to protect our benefits. We're not going to let the Democrats,
which what they did before, cut Medicare, and they take
that money and put it in first something else, like
(07:10):
in that case they put it for Green New Deal money.
So they think about this. They cut medical they cut
Medicare and put more put money into provide subjects for
electric vehicles. That made no sense to me. So this
would say we're not going to reduce benefits and we're
not going to allow the Democrats ever to do it
again what they did a couple of years ago, where
they reduced Medicare and then took it and use it
(07:31):
for something else rather than protecting the Medicare program.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
How do we ultimately get back to a path of
solvency in these programs?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Basically, what you do, you do it what you do
with everything you one. You look at how you spend
every money every time you get you know, stop wasting
money too. We've got to get our country back to work.
We have I think it's over fifty tenf like fifty
two million Americans between the ages of ten and six,
fifteen and sixty five that are not working. I think
(08:03):
about what happened to the federal revenues if they all
got back to work. We've created in sending for people
night's work. You should be able to go on food
stamps or our medicaid or public housing if you're not
willing to work, if you're disabled, I give it. But
if you're just I don't want to work, and I went,
I want Brian to pay my way. That's not fair.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I agree. Literally. So, you know something that you did
vote on.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I was kind of curious just with the you know,
solvency concerns about Social Security. We had the Social Security
Fairness Act that recently passed. Now Senator Rubio was a
no vote on that one. You did vote in favor
of the bipartisan legislation, and there is an estimate that
that would speed up the insolvency by approximately six months.
(08:53):
How do you reconcile supporting the Social Security Fairness Act
along with the concerns about the solvency of the program.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
The system's up there. There's people that have been paying in,
like school teachers and firemen and policemen have been paying
in to the Social Security system and not getting any money.
That's just not fair. Now, unfortunately up here you don't
have the opportunity to They won't give us, they wouldn't
give us any amendment votes because there's things we could
improve on it. So I don't suppse, you know, I
(09:23):
don't believe in making people pay into a program and
then not getting any benefits. And that's exactly what they
did years ago, and so this fixed it. We still
have the obligation to preserve Medicare and SOID security, and
I'm gonna do everything I can to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Another one that is certainly relevant to many homeowners in Florida,
the Homeowner's Premium Tax Reduction Act.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Tell us what this would do.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, as you know, since I left this governor, the
cost of property inschurch in Floridas, I think more than
double card, churches skyrocket, all these things. So there's there's
clearly a state issue. But the Centergarment could for by
some release, and so my bill would say that we
would give give you a tax deduction for the first
ten thousand dollars of your homeowner's insurance.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And ultimately, you know, you started taking a look at
that deduction level that has become relevant for a lot
of a lot of the state at this point. And
another one that I was taking a look at, and
you referenced this actually with the programs that need to
get people back to work. But you mentioned the Let's
(10:31):
Get to Work Act specifically. It's not just you know, rhetoric.
You're actually wanting to encourage people to get off of
assistance programs get back into the workforce. We have not
seen the labor force participation rate completely recover even since
COVID let alone what we saw a couple of decades ago.
(10:52):
What would your program do to reincentivize people to re
enter the workforce.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Well, I did this as governor. Would I left as governor,
we had about twenty two million people. We only had
sixty one thousand people on unemployment and seventy one thousand
people on welfare. We didn't kick people off the programs.
What we said is we're going to help you find
a job. Right, we put a lot of effort helping
you find a job. But you can't just go on
the program if you don't want to if you don't
(11:18):
want to look for a job or have a job.
So what these would do is just say, look, if
you want to have if you don't want to have,
if you want to have food stamps, Okay, that's great.
I mean I would help people, but not if you
don't want to help yourself, So what requires you to
have a job or be applying for a job. Maybe
maybe there's not a job with it right at that
time that we ought to help you. But if you're
just say nah, I want to stay home play video games,
(11:40):
that's not right. Same with public housing, I believe the
same thing with it with medicaid. If you if you
don't want to work, okay, you you know your neighbors
shouldn't be paying your way if you can't find a job.
I get it, and I believe in it. We need
to have safety nets. But if it's simply that you
do not want to work, that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
You know, Senator, when you were a governor, after the
horrific tragedy in Parkland, you signed the Stone and Douglas
School Safety Act into law, the Guardian Program establish so
many of those school security measures have proven to be
hugely effective. Be by the grace of God and some
(12:21):
diligent people and a lot of the comments and stuff
does put in place with the law, we've not had
a repeat of any of those tragedies in the state
of Florida since the implementation of the law. You're looking
to bring an element of that to the federal government.
Tell us about the School Guardian Act.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Well, I really worry about our kids and our grandkids,
you know my case, and I have seven grand kids,
and I worry about their safety when they go to school,
and I talk to my daughters about it. So one
thing we did part of the bill that we passed
after this tragedy in Parkland, was we put a law
enforcement officer in all the public schools. And so my
(12:58):
bill would provide a block rant to the states to
help put a law enforcement officer in all schools, public
or private in the country. I just think we've got
to do everything we can to keep these kids safe.
I want my kids be safe, my grand kids be safe.
I'm willing for everybody, and so this was this would
be an opportunity to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
How optimistic are you about not just President like Trump's
agenda being accomplished, but also many of the items that
you have laid out here and many others that we
haven't discussed.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Do you feel like you have an opportunity to achieve
your agenda this time around?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Absolutely, we got a lot of We put a book
out the things we got done. My first term, my
first six years, and by just working hard. I have
a great team of people. It's not it's not me,
it's all the people around me. We got a lot
of we got a lot of things accomplished, and we
can be proud of that. But we've got a lot
of problems in this country. So yeah, I'm very optimistic.
(13:59):
I think with Trumpet office, with power back, with Republicans
of the House and Senate, there's a lot of things
we can get accomplished. But it's like life. You've got
to show up every day and you got to work
your butt off. I tell people, give me your ideas.
I've got nine offices and floors an office in DC.
We have a great team. We work hard every day.
But tell us what your problems are. I might not
be able to solve them, but I know if you
(14:20):
don't tell me about it, I can't. So I'm optimistic
that we're gonna get a lot of good things.
The news you need to start your day, and the
bomb beach is at the Treasure Ghost.

if you want to have food stamps, Okay, that's great.
I mean I would help people, but not if you
don't want to help yourself, So what requires you to
have a job or be applying for a job. Maybe
maybe there's not a job with it right at that
time that we ought to help you. But if you're
just say nah, I want to stay home play video games,
(11:40):
that's not right. Same with public housing, I believe the
same thing with it with medicaid. If you if you
don't want to work, okay, you you know your neighbors
shouldn't be paying your way if you can't find a job.
I get it, and I believe in it. We need
to have safety nets. But if it's simply that you
do not want to work, that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
You know, Senator, when you were a governor, after the
horrific tragedy in Parkland, you signed the Stone and Douglas
School Safety Act into law, the Guardian Program establish so
many of those school security measures have proven to be
hugely effective. Be by the grace of God and some
(12:21):
diligent people and a lot of the comments and stuff
does put in place with the law, we've not had
a repeat of any of those tragedies in the state
of Florida since the implementation of the law. You're looking
to bring an element of that to the federal government.
Tell us about the School Guardian Act.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Well, I really worry about our kids and our grandkids,
you know my case, and I have seven grand kids,
and I worry about their safety when they go to school,
and I talk to my daughters about it. So one
thing we did part of the bill that we passed
after this tragedy in Parkland, was we put a law
enforcement officer in all the public schools. And so my
(12:58):
bill would provide a block rant to the states to
help put a law enforcement officer in all schools, public
or private in the country. I just think we've got
to do everything we can to keep these kids safe.
I want my kids be safe, my grand kids be safe.
I'm willing for everybody, and so this was this would
be an opportunity to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
How optimistic are you about not just President like Trump's
agenda being accomplished, but also many of the items that
you have laid out here and many others that we
haven't discussed.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Are you optimistic?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Do you feel like you have an opportunity to achieve
your agenda this time around?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Absolutely, we got a lot of We put a book
out the things we got done. My first term, my
first six years, and by just working hard. I have
a great team of people. It's not it's not me,
it's all the people around me. We got a lot
of we got a lot of things accomplished, and we
can be proud of that. But we've got a lot
of problems in this country. So yeah, I'm very optimistic.
(13:59):
I think with Trumpet office, with power back, with Republicans
of the House and Senate, there's a lot of things
we can get accomplished. But it's like life. You've got
to show up every day and you got to work
your butt off. I tell people, give me your ideas.
I've got nine offices and floors an office in DC.
We have a great team. We work hard every day.
But tell us what your problems are. I might not
be able to solve them, but I know if you
(14:20):
don't tell me about it, I can't. So I'm optimistic
that we're gonna get a lot of good things.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
