The Morning Show with Preston Scott onnews Radio one seven double USLA thirty five
past the hour. It is Wednesday, here in the Morning Show with Preston
Scott, grand Allen running the programand joining US Florida US Senator Rick Scott,
(00:24):
Senator. How are you, sir? That's a rainy day in DC.
Uh, and probably nothing good foryou will happen today in DC.
Is that supposed to be something shockingfor me? Preston, This is I've
been up here five years, andyou know, it's so frustrating, is
(00:47):
it? Is it? It's likethese people realize that when you spend this
ridiculous amount of money, that inflation'snot going to go up. When you
try to shut down direction, fossilfuel gas prices are not going to go
up when you dictate the terms andtell everybody they're every all of our you
know, uh, you know everybodyyou know, like around the world that
(01:08):
we're the smartest people in the world. Maybe people say, you know,
you might be, but I'm tiredof you telling me that. Go to
hell. I mean, that's what'sgoing on. This administration is the most
incompetent group of people that you canever Assemble. I have made this comment
repeatedly, and I've not had onemember elected to Congress willing to say they
(01:33):
agree with me. But I knowthat they do without saying it. But
I'm going to throw it out there, Senator. If this isn't intentional,
the ruination of our economy, theenergy sector, uh, slamming people with
regulatory strangleholds, taxes. If it'snot intentional, what is it? I
(01:53):
know? I mean, person,I mean, you can't be this stupid.
I mean everything, everything that youbuy, everything, our whole life
is tied to the price of energy, right from your utilities to your gas,
to everything that's produced, your food, everything. So to intentionally cause
(02:15):
the price of gas to go upand say, guysha, I'm shocked that
we have inflation and don't worry betransitory. I mean, you can't be
that dumb. And to do youknow, hold weapons back from Israel but
say you're pro Israel. I mean, who's who who believes this stuff?
Have an open border where we don'tvet anybody and think, oh gosh,
(02:37):
yeah, crime is going to godown. We know Maduro is empty prisons
and sending all this criminals. Guesswhat if they're criminals in Nzuela. Yes,
they're going to be criminals here.And if you're right, this sure
seems like it has to be intentional, because you can't be this stupid.
I mean, think of Lincoln theother day said that issue should get the
(03:00):
hell out of Gaza. Wait aminute. They did that, They got
out of gossip. They let Goslinsdecide how to be governed. They chose
some of us, They chose someus, dozens chose some of us.
Then Hamas comes across the border andkills twelve hundred people, including over thirty
Americans. They're still holding American hostages, and both Blincoln thinks that we shouldn't
(03:25):
do that, Israel shouldn't do anythingabout it. So how many thousands of
Israel Israelis to be killed just justbecause they're Jews? That's all. That's
the only reason I've been over there. I was over there about months and
a half ago. I went toa place where i'd been before, where
sixty three people were killed. Babieswere beheaded, girls were raped, people
were burned alive. I went tothe Nova Film Festival area, talked to
(03:46):
parents. The kids were just theywere just killed because they were there and
they were Jews. Do you Blincolnsays, get the hell out. Do
you think help us? Senator?Do you really believe the hostages or still
alive? Because I don't. Idon't know how many. I've got this
little boy a picture of him,Ariel, the four year old Google redhead
(04:10):
boy. And I was telling someof the idea of members when I was
over there that I had this picture. And they said, well, don't
don't be optimistic. I don't know, but don't be optimistic. It's been
what's been how many it's two hundredsome days? And these people are treated
(04:31):
like like dirt. I mean,I don't know how people survive. And
if these kids, these you know, there's they took a ten month old
baby, you think it's what's thechance that somebody really cares about them?
And they when they put when theybeheaded babies and they killed babies by putting
them in a microwave. I mean, these are this is are buried.
What these people do? Two decadesof doing morning drive radio differently doing it
(04:56):
his way like old Blue Eyes,except you a little more hair. The
Morning Show with Preston Scott a fewmore minutes with US Senator Rick Scott,
Senator. Tallahassee was your part timehome when you served as governor, and
you came back recently to take alook at the damage in the wake of
the tornadoes on Friday. We wereon the air when all of it happened.
(05:19):
What were your impressions when you camethrough a lot of damming, Joe
was you know, I was overthere, you know where Burdos is,
Yep, was up over there,and and he feels hard for the people,
and you know, it seems likeit's always the poor families get hurt.
But I went over and thanked hthe sheriff and his team for what
they do. I mean, they'reout there trying to keep people safe every
(05:41):
day. It sounds like the utilitiesworked hard to get the power back on.
That's a that's the first you know, people want to you know,
to keep them alive first, andthen number two, you got to get
them back to normal life. Yougot to get power back on. You
got to get the communications backed up. So it sounds like I talked to
I talked to COEO Tack when theywere committed to get things back up quickly.
(06:02):
So you know, you just youknow what you learned in these disasters
is keep people alive. Everything youcan't keep them alive, number one,
and then number two, get themback to a normal life as quickly as
you can. Senator, you serveon the Armed Services Committee. We shared
some time last half hour talking aboutthe developments or lack of developments in Niger.
(06:26):
That better than a thousand US soldiersin personnel over there in essence being
held hostage. Another failure by theBiden administration. You look at what's going
on in this world since Biden gotelected. Russian made Ukraine, Iran as
you know, you know, basicallyattack well, they attack Israel, the
footies, you know, you know, we're trying to control the Red Sea.
(06:50):
You've got his bottle of shooting rockets, Hamas, attack kills. You've
got China, you know, threateningin Taiwan, you got through in Afghanistan.
I mean, why this whole Bidenteam ought to look at the mirror
and say, what in the hellhave we done? Maybe we've got to
change something. And then now youlook at Niger. You know what,
(07:13):
you know, why can't why can'tthe Biden administration have a relationship with anybody
but the bad guys? I mean, you know, he'd Katou said she
and I mean he iran so hetries just to get him. He knows
money it goes to gadso's going toAMAS. He knows it. Doesn't do
anything about it. They've spent andthey spent three hundred million dollars, three
(07:35):
hundredllion dollars of our dollars to builda port the Gaza that you know,
if you put a US trips areclose to that and get killed. I
was, I was in the Navy. I never thought the commander in chief
would intentionally put me at harm's way. I mean, if somebody attacked us,
I got it. But this isthis is like you're they're putting American
(07:59):
te groups in harm's way without theability to defend themselves. Do you believe
Joe Biden is actually making any decisionsat all? Or is there somebody else
or a group of somebody else's thatare really shaping US policy? Well,
you know, and the everybody.I don't know Joe Biden will I never
(08:22):
served with him. I met hima few times. I was with him
about six months ago in the lastafter the last hurricane. I think he's
basically outsourced his life I mean,he's he's allowed all decisions being made by
somebody else. He just know ofthese guys appear and what I think that
title, that's a nice title.I get to do. I get to
find Air Force One. You cango make all those decisions, you know,
(08:45):
Blincoln and Sullivan and Susan Rice andpeople like that. You guys,
you guys make up that. I'mjust gonna go enjoy the White House,
nice place, camp David's pretty nice. Air Force one is nice you So,
yeah, I think he's sort ofoutsourced the whole job to other people.
If if Barack Obama's not actively involvedin this, he's surely got to
(09:09):
be in the circle somewhere, doesn'the, Because I mean the policy people,
well, the policy it is thesame crazy people. I was going
to say, because Obama said hewas going to radically transform this country,
and we're seeing the radical transformation inthe last three years. Yeah, I
mean they've been they've been doing it. I mean, just look at the
persecution of Trump. I mean,who would have thought that you have you
(09:33):
don't account for something the right wayin your books, that you're going to
go to jail. Who would havethought that the number one partical candidate of
a would be would they've they triedto put the guy in jail. I
mean, he's got all these casesare just a Joe Biden wants to win.
Democrats can't run on the border,they can't run on the economy,
(09:54):
they can't run on foreign policy.So hey, let's just let's get our
guy and the other guy in prison. Maybe maybe that was I'll stop him
from being able to campaign. Imean, this stuff, this stuff should
scare the crap out of you.I mean I went through this, and
I know so many business people havegone through it that if you go fight,
you know the Democrats they're going todo everything they can to destroy you,
(10:16):
whether it violates the law or not. That's what we've learned as well.
Court. The court decisions don't seemto matter to them. Oh look
look at the look at the uh. I mean, look at all the
stuff. I mean, Biden justviolates the law. Democrats don't hold them
account. Look at the border.I mean, my orcists, myocus,
by the constitution, had to havea trial. By constitution, had to
(10:39):
have a trial. But we didn't. We just dismissed it. I mean
they had to. That was aconstitution and they didn't do that. I
mean, they violate the law,but they also violate the constitution, and
the Democrats are all okay with it. Americus is a complete liar. He's
violated the law intentionally. I meanhe's come in front of me and lied
to me countless times. Well,I don't know how you do it up
(11:03):
in Washington, DC, Senator.I guess you have to wear a hazmat
suit at all times. But Iappreciate your time this morning. We don't
change it present. Our way oflife will go away if we don't change
this, no doubt, no doubt. Senator, thanks for the time.
I look forward to having you backsoon. I see Preston. By bye,
