Nepo Baby Tucker Is Lying (Ep. 2534)

26:16Folks, I got a lot more to talk about because I really, I can't tell you how much I hate this. There is nothing, believe me, I totally empathize with everyone out there who's working in a coal mine, is a local three electrician in New York who's like, the last thing I want to hear is about podcast bros. You are correct. I feel you, brother. But I'm really sorry on a Friday if you're going to accuse me in a mass media outlet of a federal crime and claim you have evidence and accuse the president too. And you better back it the fuck up.

26:59I want to end with this because this is who Tucker Carlson really is KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov did a series of interviews in the United States about how foreign enemies of the United States and the old Soviet Union understood they can never beat us militarily so they always understood they could use chaos agents on the inside overload people with information overload people but never present evidence and so nobody believes anything anymore ladies and gentlemen that's exactly what Tucker Carlson is doing I have secret info here's a bunch of information that never points to any evidence tune in tomorrow for my special listen to this Yuri Besmanov clip and you'll see exactly what he's doing check this out or psychological warfare what it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves their families their community and their country it's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and it's divided in four basic stages the first one being demoralization it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation why that many years because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of the enemy in other words Marxism Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism.

28:53Sound familiar?

28:59I really, really, really hate to do this. I dealt with a lot at the FBI. It was the proudest year of my life. Told them I'd give them a year, gave them a year, went in there, did the best job I could. I changed nothing. There are a lot of disagreements, a lot of reporting about this now, about disagreements and private conversations. Disagreements happen at that level all the time. You're dealing with the nation's problems. You're dealing with the nation's problems and the most severe problems. And you don't just get to ice one out. You have to be master of all trades, jack of none. He didn't volunteer to step up and do it.

29:37He just likes to sit on the outside and lie about things. Now he'll move on to the next fake scandal next. All right, I've got other things in the news because there is a real enemy out there, and that's the collectivist socialist left, the Antifa, BLM, SPLC left that's been organized for years against us. And a video I saw on, I thought it was a joke. I really did. I thought it was an AI joke, but it's real. It's by someone from that left who wants to make sure they collapse the economy of the United States. Don't laugh with the video though. Right? This thing is real. He actually did this thing.

32:45Check them out. So just first, before we get to that video, President Trump last night on True Social announced who he wants his permanent pick for the Office of Director of National Intelligence to be. I didn't want you to miss this. It was Jay Clayton. Jay Clayton knows his stuff. Jay Clayton's a very successful lawyer. He works up in SDNY, Southern District of New York. Very competent guy. Support the pick. The DNI needs massive reform. As I said yesterday, I just hope they give Bill Pulte a shot in the acting spot. I think he'd be a good change agent with an outside perspective. But, you know, people freaked out before he even did anything.

33:20But I think Jay Clayton is going to be a good pick that's going to get some decent support. So we'll see what happens with that. So I wanted to update you on that. So he's doing it again. Who? Tucker? No, not Tucker. Do you know this guy, Robert Reich? Of all the people on the left, I don't know the guy personally, so this is definitely not personal, but he's just one of the most talented and skilled liars you're ever going to see. He has been a diehard progressive liberal his whole life, and he puts out these videos that have become increasingly ridiculous where he says things that kind of like the Tucker model, although I think his motives are different.

34:00and this guy just wants like communism or socialism in the United States, are so ridiculous on their face that anyone can go to chat GPT, Gemini, Grok, or anything else and just refute the nonsense immediately. And he does it because he wants to control the means of production in the United States. Here's the video, this is actually real, of Robert Reich claiming somehow, he makes two claims here, that again, the rich don't pay their fair share and that basically social security is going broke because we don't have enough tax money. I thought, okay, it's pretty easy to check out the data on that.

34:33Watch this video first. Don't laugh. This is, check this out. Here's the real reason social security is in danger that nobody's talking about. It's not just because too many boomers like me are retiring.

34:50It's because of inequality. Now, I don't want to alarm you. Social Security is still helping us oldies enjoy our golden years, mostly on the pickleball court, but only for so long. Social Security is one of the most popular and successful government programs ever created, not only helping retirees, but it's also keeping 26 million people out of poverty. Yet here's the problem. It's going to run out of money before you can ever receive it if the rich don't start paying their fair share. The trustees of Social Security, of which yours truly was once a member back when I had thicker hair, say the program will only be able to pay full benefits until 2033.

35:38Justin just brought up a fascinating point. Are those Velcro shoes? Do they even make those anymore? I mean, you could probably sell those on eBay or an auction site for a small fortune. Those are Velcro shoes, right? Capitalism at its finest, the old Velcro shoe. By the way, it wasn't a terrible idea either. What happened to the Velcro shoe? Someone should bring those back. Those big sneaker companies, Adidas or whatever. So Robert Rice, his videos always go viral because lefties love them because he tells them what he wants to hear. Again, he presents to you information without evidence. Common tactic, right?

36:15In this case, he doesn't claim to have secret info. He just hides the real information. He claims, I have information. My information is this. Social security is going broke because we don't have enough tax money and the rich don't pay their fair share. So again, I don't want to be accused of any right wing bias. And let me just bring up. This is why the lefties in the government hate AI. They hate it because they know artificial intelligence, if it uses reason, will tell you the truth. And they're not going to be able to lie to you anymore. There'll be instant fact check. I just want to chat GPT.

36:52It's not some right-leaning company. And I asked some simple questions like, what's U.S. government tax revenue by year? Because he's claiming like we have a tax revenue problem. So let's just go over the last decade. Tax revenue must be shrinking. I mean, he implied that in his thing, right? We just don't have enough tax revenue to pay for Social Security. Not the fact that the government took your Social Security money and wasted it, which is the real truth, okay? So here it is. Thank you, guys. They put list the government tax revenue over the past decade. OK, 2015, 3.2 trillion, 3.2, 3.3, 3.3, 3.4, 3.4, 4.047.

37:31Hold on, guys. This is going up. Rice said it went down. You got the wrong chart. No, no. Justin says this is the right chart. It's going up. 4.897, 4.41, 4.9. And then look, 2025 record tax revenue, 5.2 trillion. Even TratGPT, TratGPT in the trend says revenue grew from$3.5 trillion in 2015 to$5.2 trillion in 2025. An increase of roughly 61%. Jasmine, that sounds like a big deal. An increase, correct? Correct.

38:06Is Robert Reich making it up? Yeah, of course he is. He's claiming he has this information out there. But when you actually ask the interwebs about there to give you the information he claims to have, it says the opposite. Tax revenue has gone up dramatically, 61 % over the last 10 years. Again, to the liberals watching the show, just like the Tucker fans out there, I understand like when the truth kicks you in the balls that you just give me more Kool-Aid. I understand. I get it. But one day, the truth reckoning is going to come to you. And when it does, you're going to be really embarrassed.

38:45There is nothing worse than having a true believer see the wizard behind the curtain. Nothing. You watch it fall apart for them completely. They trust nothing going forward. Then he made the claim in this viral video that, again, wealthy Americans don't pay their fair share of taxes. Folks, make the case that you think the wealthy should pay more. Whatever. I don't agree with you. I think it should be in the free market economy. We could build jobs. But stop bullshitting people that they don't pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. If anything, it's unfair. They pay almost all the taxes. What are you guys putting in there now?

39:22ChatGPT. What percent of U.S. tax revenue comes from the top 10 %? What does it say? It says tax revenue. If you're asking about federal income tax revenue, the top 10 % paid about 72 % of all tax revenue, according to the IRS data by the Tax Foundation. Wow. 72. So over$7 out of every, or$70 out of every$100 collected in tax revenue is from one out of 10 people? So Rice is bullshitting you again. Folks, I bring this up because, again, I'm just getting exhausted as I age, just constantly trying to just rebut nonsense that's so easily refuted. if you, not you in my audience, I'm talking to the liberals out there, if you would just ask basic questions, all you have to do is look it up.

40:21You don't have to do, when I went to college at CUNY and then at Penn State, okay, you used to have to, this B-roll is great. Like this is just the greatest thing. If you're missing this on Apple and Spotify, please just check it out. This is just classic. You used to have to go to the college library, pay money for microfilm, search through the microfilm. You can legit go to your phone right now and ask Grock any of these questions. And in seconds, you're going to you're like, wow, these guys are lying. Yes, they're lying. Folks, I feel genuinely bad that the government sold you a retirement plan, took your money and then spent it.

41:03If any fiduciary were to do that, Morgan Stanley, any major bank were to take your money, say we're going to put it in a retirement fund and invest in your future and then go spend the money, they'd be in jail. Yet the government does it and it's considered a benevolent cause. The government's own people are telling you the social security system is broke. The whole trust fund is a scam. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm not going to be the wrong side of this when seniors who busted their ass and created the greatest generation, I adore you. You worked in a much harder time than we did.

41:43Some of you fought in Vietnam. We're living through the last days of World War II and other people. These people fought for, they built this country. They didn't have flat screen TVs, food everywhere, GLP ones. They busted their ass and the government bankrupted them. Here's an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, but exactly this, There's no trust fund. It's an accounting fiction. Read it yourself. Sternberg, the Social Security Trust Fund Deception. All the government did is take your money, your Social Security money. They then invested it in U.S. dollar denominated assets. The government then took the money you invested and spent it.

42:23It's just an I owe you. It's you borrowing money from yourself saying you owe yourself money and writing I owe you and then saying this is my asset, the IOU. Folks, the joke of this whole thing is a bunch of people out there who are constantly calling out, you know, you boomers, you suck. You know, man, I'm getting tired of this bullshit too. I've said often, it'll say over and over because I mean it. To all the young kids out there fascinated with politics who listen to the show, I love you, man. You tautologically are the future. To the seniors out there who lived a tough life and built this country, the bricklayers, the police officers, pilots, people in our military, I adore you.

43:04I have no class-based or age-based chronological animosity towards anyone. Everyone's got a role. Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, our seniors, all of us. But the whole argument out there that, you know, I see a lot of these young liberals make that, oh, you boomers are screwing us over but we love social security is kind of ironic because you're the ones who are going to have to pay put a screenshot too for the government spending senior citizens money they paid into the system stoneberg sternberg just notes this accounting tautology that all this crisis talk is designed to frighten lawmakers into acceding to the left's preferred high tax high benefit solution before anyone has a chance to think about it and prevent younger voters who will bear the brunt of the taxes from noticing what's going on.

44:00You younger voters are going to be taxed to pay for this. You know why? Aging people die. You're left with the bill. Everyone walked out of the restaurant but you. You're the one getting scammed.

44:17Boomers. then you support a program that's screwing you over right now because the government shafted you. It's embarrassing you're falling for this. I'm trying to help you, man. You want a massive tax bill in the future? Folks, I don't need Social Security. Let me be on the record. I don't want it. I don't need it. Middle-class working folks, upper-middle-class folks who paid in, I don't want it. They don't even want that. You know why? liberals will never vote to make social security means tested based on means you know why the old adage in dc a program for the poor is a poor program they want everybody bought into this failed system so when the system breaks everybody cries out at the same time they don't want they don't want a program only for the poor because they know it's not a large enough constituency to keep the scheme going that's just a fact

45:18Folks, really, I'm just trying to help you, man. You can kill the messenger all you want. Old people got screwed. Soon to be old people got screwed. And younger folks are going to get screwed the most. And yet, when you don't have any results to speak of, what do you do? You go stupid. You go put out stupid videos. You have zero results. You never produce a suspect in any of your coming soon, coming tomorrow, any of that. You never produce a fix for this program that's been broke forever because a big government's spending your money. So when you don't have results, what do you do? You run on bumper stickers.

45:51Coexists. Tolerance. This guy's corrupt. That guy's corrupt. There's a cover-up. There's a cover-up. And then evidence surfaces over the last few days about a bunch of conversations about them not being a cover-up. And what do you do? You just move on to the next thing.

46:06I want to show you what I mean by these just schizophrenic Trump haters out there. They must have some kind of mental, psychopathological DSM diagnosable disorder. Trump brought this up yesterday, the president, about Iran policy. It's amazing. I can't emphasize this enough. He brought this up on Fox yesterday in a phone interview. He negotiates with the Death to America regime to come to a deal. The left is pissed off. He engages in kinetic strikes to incentivize the deal. The left is pissed off. What's your position, man? Just stake a position out. He brought this up yesterday on Fox. He's like, if they wave the right flag and we love Allah, whatever, all of a sudden, the left would be complaining about that, too.

46:50Check this out. It could be the greatest deal in history. They could wave the white flag of surrender. They could say, we surrender, we surrender, we're finished. We've had it. The United States is the greatest power. Praise be to Allah. And they could do all of this. They could say it loud and clear. And the fake news would say it was a great victory for Iran. I mean, it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. We're killing them. It's killing them. They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no anti-aircraft. You know, we're flying planes over the middle of Tehran, and they don't have no idea what we're there.

47:24We've knocked out all of their radar, all of their anti-aircraft. Much of their missiles, they have probably less than 20 percent. We think about 20 percent. Most of their launchers have the missile launchers, which are quite important. their drone capacity is way down. You see it. Again, the guy is just producing a series of results you don't like. So when you don't like it, you just respond with ad hominem attacks. Trump's got the cooties. Like you're in fourth grade. I mean, these people are unbearable. I can't believe people watch this crap. Whether it's Reich videos or the left, Trump shouldn't negotiate.

48:08Trump should negotiate. Trump chickened out. Trump's too aggressive. He's a warmonger. What the is it, man? I love these other ones too, by the way. This is the pedophile administration. Sickening, disgusting, grotesque. Just an example of genuine people of the lie. Real evil. Then when DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen goes out and gives a presser yesterday about saving, what's the number here, like 140 plus thousand kids? Nobody wants to pay any attention to that. You just respond with bullshit. This is what actual results look like from an administration committed to results on protecting kids.

48:52These are called numbers and results. Check this out. These individuals that the Democrats seem to want to defund, but because of President Trump, we finally funded them for three years, were able to push and go find these kids. We found 146 ,000 kids so far. 146 ,000 kids. We still have nearly 300 ,000 missing. We're investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped 600 to 700 times. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you have kids. If you don't have kids, I don't care if you're liberal, you're independent. You're a Democrat. You're Republican. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?

49:46Folks, that's what's actually happening. I see people in the chat. Yeah, that is a data point, an actual data point. You understand when you're working inside the government for this administration that cares only about results, they don't care about the politics i'll prove it he's cleaning up dc it's a liberal city but he's not running again he's had to make hard decisions about the death to america crowd that yeah have caused some dislocations temporarily but he knows it's the right thing to do you may not think it's the right thing but don't tell me he's doing it because the politics you're just full of shit when you're at that level you're dealing with a thousand serious problems at the same time.

50:27When you read reports in the media about disagreements and stuff, it always seems like this was the biggest thing in the world at the time, meaning it's one of like a thousand things you dealt with that day. It's just not the way any of this works. It's almost comical listening to media coverage of what they think happened when people who are there know what happened. And then here's their other trick here. Here's Hakeem Jeffries, Just an absolute scam artist. I got to tell you, man, the Democrats are going to miss Nancy Pelosi with this goofball. This guy is just cannot stay on message. He gets confronted about election fraud and actual videos of voters.

51:08I'll address this with Senator Rick Scott about the SAVE Act. So don't miss that coming up in just a few minutes. However, there's video. was it cam higby o 'keefe and others went out to los angeles and got on video homeless people saying yeah they're basically paying us to you know register to vote what else do you need that's called evidence it's not just information it's information that's evidence now hakeem jeffries has seen these videos i know he has here he is bullshitting people no no i didn't see it hey i think it's a right-wing conspiracy theory when you don't you ever hear the expression in the legal space?

51:45When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you don't have the facts, pound the table. This is Hakeem Jeffries pounding the table, just like his buddy Tucker. Check this out. Earlier in the week, you told me that there is no election fraud happening in California and that anyone who questions the outcome of the election is a conspiracy theorist. However, there are now homeless people on skid row admitting they were bribed with cash, drugs, other incentives to vote Democrat in elections. Does that change your stance at all on whether or not these elections are rigged? Listen, I'm unfamiliar with those reports and I wouldn't be surprised if those are part of some far right conspiracy theory being peddled on the internet to try to convince the American people that there's evidence of fraud in California.

52:34They're not trying to convince them. They showed them the videos. He's presented with information. This is the mark of the imbecile. He's presented with information. Sir, there are videos out there of people being paid to register to vote. They're out there. You can look. All you got to do is go to X and put in, you know, videos, skid row. You don't even have to put videos. Just put skid row and click the videos button on X. TikTok. And you can see them yourself. He doesn't want to see them. this is the mark of an imbecile the imbecile remember the smart people take a bunch of evidence a bunch of information excuse me they distill that pool of information we have a hundred suspects in a murder case they distill it down using investigatory tactics and reason to the one person or maybe two people in a conspiracy that did it and they eliminate unnecessary information the mark of an idiot is the inversion of that they take the answer here is the video of said fraud.

53:33That's the answer. You can look at it. And they go down and they go down and they pollute it with more of a, well, I don't think that's true. It's a conspiracy theory. It's a plot. I haven't seen them. That is the mark of an imbecile. We cannot possibly run this country with imbeciles like this in charge. He's offered, like, just look at the videos you haven't seen. You're not concerned about it. By the way, now in this runoff in LA, you got two Democrats running against each other in a flawed system with homeless people having their votes bought off. Good luck with that. And you want a national popular vote for president?

54:10You imagine that waiting for a month for California's fake homeless vote to come in to decide who the president is? Good luck with that. Here's what a genuine politician looks like, by the way. I've become a big supporter of the guy who believes in results. Again, don't fall in love with people, fall in love with results. But Brandon Gill's been doing an excellent job. The presentation style just makes for really great information that's actual evidence. Here he is discussing, you know, immigration up on Capitol. I want you to see the difference between him and Hakeem Jeffries because contrasts matter.

54:45What he says here is absolutely true. Check this out. 160 years ago, Democrats were asking us, if it weren't for slavery, who would pick our cotton? And today they're asking a similar question, which is, if it weren't for mass migration, who would pick our avocados? It's a similar pattern that they've established. You can say that the United States is not, in fact, better off by importing a massive class of what is virtually surf labor, which undermines our cultural fabric and our government as well. I'd also like to point out that the admission that we need more and more unvetted illegal aliens pouring into our country is also an admission that the goal or one of the goals of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle is explicitly to reduce American wages, because that's exactly what they're doing and what they're saying they're doing whenever they talk about bringing in cheap labor.

55:45Folks, please tune into my show earlier in the week to back up what Brandon Gill just said, because it's evidence that they're saying they're doing this, bringing in people basically to replace us. It's their thing. Their replacement theory, and I call great replacement theory or demographic destiny argument is the argument that Democrats are making. we're going to replace you, we're going to break play the Grabian video for yourself what was that, Tuesday's show or something? we've played this over and over again this is what's called evidence evidence are the subjects in the case, the Democrats, claiming we, the Republicans are engaged in some racist replacement theory, and yet the evidence when you play the Democrats talking is that they're the ones talking about it when we mention it.

56:37We're talking about your theory. Was it Tommy boy? That's your theory. That's you. You're it. It's called evidence, bro. That's what reason looks like. You're making a claim. You're making a claim. Republicans are racist. They don't want immigration. None of that's actually true. I'm married to an immigrant. We want legal immigration here. This is the one. This is it. There's Chuck Schumer saying, hey, racist, Republican, racist, replacement theory. And then this video goes on and on. Joe Biden talking about, you know, we're going to be replaced. We're going to replace you. It's going to be an endless stream of immigration.

57:14It goes, this goes on, by the way. I used to play this on my radio show, Producer Jim. This video goes on for like 20 minutes or so. MSNBC talking about it. All right, they get the point. Univision, whatever. Folks, facts matter. I think this show has proved that. Well, you know, it's Friday. I got Senator Rick Scott coming up. We're going to talk about things that are really, really pressing right now. AI, what the government's doing. There's a lot of ups and downs, all this stuff. FISA, which is super important. The SAVE Act, the red state, blue state divide. Don't miss any of that. I also want to play his video again, which was great, talking about the problem is government, as I showed you debunking that Robert Reich video.

57:57But it is Friday. Producer Jim, he never shows me this in advance. He doesn't. So is there a language alert on this one? Okay, I don't think so. I haven't seen it, so. But we like to leave you with the weekend with a meditative, calm moment from the Democrats who you know never get unreasonable and scream and yell or anything like that. We call it our Democrat Zen moment of the day. Check this out. Your Democrat Zen moment of the day. A peaceful moment to center your mind. Fuck y 'all. Y 'all suck so bad. Republicans suck so bad. They never know how to fucking help people. They always just shove it back in their fucking faces and want you to just eat the shit.

58:39I'm so over y 'all. And all of your goddamn bulls. This has been Democrat Zen. Okay, number one, you totally blew the language alert on that. But second, was that a tooth or like foam? You know, when you say like they're foaming at the mouth and scratching their faces, it's not meant literally. and that you know I hate that word in that case it's literal the scratching of the face the phone it looks like what is that like a phone again if you're listening on Apple and Spotify we love you thank you the video is exclusive to Rumble however please watch that video that made Jim producer Jim that may be your best work yet Motley's in the chat Motley's in the chat God rest producer Joe so Motley we love you Motley we miss you buddy that's probably the best one yet i'm watching oh there we do oh oh the show's a little bit behind him that is a foam ball why would you put that on and she's like wiping it oh my gosh it's disgusting

1:02:24welcoming to the show senator rick scott has done an amazing job he was the governor down here in florida he was kicking butt and taking names and now he's a u.s senator down here we got a lot to talk about i played one of his cuts yesterday senator welcome to the show great to have you first off congratulations on your success it's all i love to see people succeed it's so much fun oh thank you well i know you're a businessman yourself so it's a meritocracy in business either produce our value or get out of the business. I want to just play an abbreviated version of a clip I played of you yesterday.

1:02:54The reason I'm playing it again is it is so important people understand this. There's a battle of ideologies right now. Is government the solution or are free people engaging in market activity? And I always found it odd that the arenas the liberals complain about the most, whether it's health care or medicine, housing, whatever it may be, are also the areas where government has the biggest footprint, and yet they never make the correlation. You address this in this clip, and then I want to talk about it on the other side. Check this out. That's what health care costs for a family of 450 years ago.

1:03:23700 bucks a year. 25 ,000 plus now. I mean, look at what we've done to ourselves. If you look at most of your generation, when I went to school, it was 200 bucks to go to junior college for a semester. I could take 21 hours. $255 for the university. I thought that was expensive. I could buy a house. My best friend bought a house out of high school in the suburbs, brand new three-bedded, one-bath house,$21 ,000. That house is 50 years old. I think it's$300 ,000 now. They've killed you. They've destroyed you. Look at your student debt, your cost of education, your cost of health care. You know what brand new car cost back then?

1:04:02$1 ,625. So you know what's done with all this? Government. Government's spending$2 trillion year after year after year. I mean, we're going to have two plus trillion dollars worth of new debt. Inflation is not going away. It can't. Senator, this was a brilliant analysis. When you intercept a person offering a product or service from a customer and they don't negotiate on what it's worth, and the government tries to steal other people's money to pay for it, you get out of control costs every time. I wish people would just make this connection. Well, government's done. Dan, government's done all this.

1:04:42If you look at just in my lifespan, I mean, cost of a new car,$1 ,600. It's at least$20 ,000 now, right? Maybe more. Cost of a house. You could buy a house in the suburb for$21 ,000 and now probably what in Florida is$350 ,000,$400 ,000. Yeah. I mean, look. And then look at education. People didn't. First off, they didn't go get stupid degrees where there's no jobs. You went to college, you were going to be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. If you weren't going to do that stuff, you didn't waste your time. By the way, Dan, have you seen the numbers? I think it's 43 % of recent college graduates don't have a job that requires a college degree.

1:05:29Government and healthcare. 50 years ago, 700 bucks for a family of four for a year. 25 ,000 now. So it's all government. Government's destroying the dream of this country. A kid like, look at where you and I came from. I came from public housing, not knowing my dad. I could go build a business. Today, you can't even get started because the permits. I opened my first business, a donut shop. I don't think I had to have a permit to open. I think I had to file something. Now, it would take months and cost you a fortune. So if you're poor, how do you get started in this country? Yeah, it's so frustrating.

1:06:08And you're one of the few representative senators up on the Hill that's talking about the big problems like Reagan used to talk about them. You know, the most dangerous words in the English language. I'm from the government. I'm here to help. They never help. And you just have to look at the data. And you know what's scary you being a businessman to even when you subdivide the field of health care where costs have exploded because the government insists on interrupting the price mechanism. And then you ice out, say, LASIK for your eyes, which is generally not covered by insurance. It's not a coincidence that LASIK is the degree of inflation in LASIK services is nowhere close to everywhere else where the government's involved.

1:06:48Like the example, the data set is right in front of you if you just open your darn eyes, you know? Yeah, look, I think LASIK's actually gone down in price and the quality keeps getting better. I mean, you look at where government's not involved, quality gets better, service gets better, and price doesn't go up. And often it goes down. Because if you go compete, it gets better for you, the customer. I was governor for eight years. You wouldn't believe all the business that came to me and said, you know, governor, you really need to tax us and fee us more. And what they were saying is, we don't like competition.

1:07:23So if you can raise, make it harder for our competition, we'll be better off. I've made this point over and over how this is why liberal billionaires, there are a lot of them, that more of them donated to Kamala than President Trump. There's nothing they like more than regulations and taxes that ice their other competitors. Simple Porter's Five Forces, Business School 101. I should make a barrier to entry. You know what the biggest barrier to entry is? Government. That's why billionaires love big government. That's why they donate to Kamala and not President Trump generally. Dan, almost all of our problems are caused by our government.

1:08:00Almost all of them. That's shameful. Health care costs, education costs, housing costs. And then, so then they want to pass more stuff. Oh, we're going to, here's what we're going to do. We're going to subsidize you. So we're going to take money from you so we can run$2 trillion deficit. Then we're going to give you a little bit of money back. In the meantime, it's a jobs program for government employees. Oh yeah, we'll have to have more government employees to monitor the program. Oh, are we going to stop the fraud? No, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to stop the fraud. We're going to allow the fraud because, you know, I remember on the floor one time when I was fighting over what was the PPP stuff.

1:08:38And I don't know if it was Bernie Sanders, but he says, well, if there's a little bit of fraud, that's okay because we'll help some people. No, it's somebody's money. No fraud, no fraud. Every government program is full of fraud. Yeah, no company, a public company, by the way, be investigated for the SEC for claiming the same thing. And you know it. I mean, you'd be out of business in a heartbeat. You were the governor down here. You did an amazing job. You've also been a senator. Nobody knows Florida better than you. You know, we have a problem in Florida, though. I mean, it's a kind of a good problem, but it is a problem.

1:09:10And a lot of people are relocating to Florida who don't come down here with the Florida kind of way of life, which is pro-business, pro-freedom, Second Amendment state. Now, listen, I am a constitutionist. Move wherever you want. It's the United States. We're a free people. I love Florida. However, I don't have to agree with you. And I see in the future this red state, blue state divide, which you've lived through yourself here, is only going to get worse with the explosion in AI, the ability to telecommute and work from home. You are not landlocked to a state or a blue city anymore. People are going to start coming down here in droves.

1:09:50It's a great place to live. I'm a transplant here. I adore this place. But this is going to be really difficult for blue states in the future to continue to say, hey, look at this utopia as the U-Haul business explodes in their state. Well, you know what's crazy, Dan, is people are walking away from bad government policy and then they go vote for it where they move. I don't get it. Come on, you have to be smarter than this. I mean, lower taxes, less regulation, more freedom. better schools, better law enforcement, job opportunities. That's what you should be voting for. You were a governor down here in Florida.

1:10:25I wanna just discuss the SAVE Act from the inside in the US Senate. We're talking to Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida, my home state. This is, I've never seen an issue my audience is so passionate about ever. I mean, I've been at this a long time, well over a decade. I get a ton of emails. I've never seen a tidal wave of emails about anything like the SAVE America Act. Because if we can't trust the integrity of our election, Senator, then the fidelity to the Constitution just falls apart. It's just a piece of paper then. Like, it doesn't matter. Our system of government relies on faith in the system, and people don't have it anymore.

1:11:00We have mail-in ballots in Florida, but the system down here is run really efficiently, and fraud is kept to a minimum. You can do it. You can run the system. You have people who can't get out of their home. You have the military folks. You can run it like we have, where we cleaned up after the 2000 election. These other states just don't want to do it. So where do we stand on the SAVE Act? And your take two on these blue states, there's got to be a reason they don't want to do it. That's because they enjoy the chaos. I can't imagine any other reason. Well, just look at LA. Look at Spencer Pratt.

1:11:30Spencer Pratt out there, he was in second place, who had been in the runoff. In the runoff, he should have won because Bass only got like 37 % of the vote. And so that means most people were against her. So after the fact, up, You know, they found all these mail-in ballots. And then what's come out is that all these people in Skid Row were paid two to five bucks a vote. And they said, oh, yeah, people down here every day just getting our votes. There's paying, signing names, stuff like that, getting our votes. That is called fraud. And here's it doesn't just impact California because it impacts, you know, you.

1:12:05Because right now, maybe we wouldn't have to have Democrat senators in California if we had real elections. And so where there is fraud, it impacts all of us. So Save America Act. We, you know, like you said, everybody wants it. Republicans want it, Democrats, independents want it. So the trick is we got we got to just take the time, put it on the floor and talk about either. We got to do one of two things. We've got to put it on the floor and we're going to talk until we pass it. OK, or we're going to get rid of the filibuster, which says we can pass things with 50 votes plus J.D. Vance. We got to do one of those two things.

1:12:38So here's the only way it's going to happen is all over your audience. calls every Republican and every Democrat senator and says, you've got to pass it so it's more important than anything else we're doing right now. Yeah, I agree. And, you know, I brought up with Congressman Jim Jordan yesterday. He was a guest on the show. That the puzzling part about this. Yeah, fantastic. He's been a friend of the show for a long time. When you look at, you referenced the Spencer Pratt Los Angeles mayor race. This is now going to be a runoff between a straight up communist and kind of like communist in name only, but still a really horrible progressive liberal has ruined the city.

1:13:19It was in Africa, by the way, when the city was burning. I mean, it's just a fact. Senator, this doesn't help them either. I mean, if you finished second and you lose the mayor's race and now the runoff election, you're going to be thinking to yourself, how many homeless people on Skid Row didn't vote for me? And you're the Democrat. Like, I don't this is what I don't get in these blue cities. This doesn't even help you. No, it makes everybody say, why am I voting? Why am I wasting my time? Right. Because if it's all going to be fraud, why am I wasting my time? There's plenty of Republicans out in California, but do they really have a vote when you have all this fraud?

1:13:58And then it dilutes our vote in Florida because now we have Democrat congressmen and women and Democrat senators. And maybe we wouldn't if we had a real election. So it really makes you mad. Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. But this is one of the reasons we have to fight like the Dickens against this national voter compact thing with this. Can you imagine waiting on a presidential election for the California votes to come in? If it was a national popular, can you imagine? Florida is done. Florida election night, 30 seconds after the polls are closed, numbers start coming in, it's done.

1:14:34Florida is clean, right? And then for a month, you don't know who the president is. California is still counting votes on Skid Rowley. That is a big no-no. They're going to get what they need. And they find out, oh, how many votes do we need? Okay, that's how much time we're going to put down Skid Row. That's what it looks like, doesn't it? Yeah, it'd be total chaos. I want to address a topic obviously really hot in our free market economy because it's got kind of like nuclear power in the Manhattan Project. It obviously has civilian applications for energy, but has very serious, as we know, obviously, national security implications when it comes to explosives and weapons development as well.

1:15:15I think, given my experience at AI, is similar, not exact, but similar to that. It has incredible potential. Gene editing, technology, cancer, healthcare, productivity, supply chain management. You're a businessman. Tremendous potential. We all know that. But there also is a potential danger from it. What's going on up in the Senate with the threat assessment and how we're going to weave government into this in a way that doesn't suffocate the technology, but also doesn't allow it to infiltrate our country in a pernicious way? Well, domestically, people are worried about their jobs. Domestically, they're also worried about how it's going to impact their kids, if it's going to kill their kids.

1:15:56Internationally, we've got to make sure is what are our enemies doing? What are the terrorists doing? What's Russia doing? What's Communist China doing? What's Iran doing? And we've got to stay ahead of it. And we can't sit here and say, oh, we just don't want to do it because we're not sure. our enemies are going to do it. So I have a bill. What we need to do is on an annual basis, we need to have a thorough risk assessment. So we're staying ahead of the game and everybody knows what we should do. This week, we just passed the National Defense Authorization Act through committee. And AI is one of the things we talked about quite a bit.

1:16:28What do we do to make sure we stay ahead and don't get behind? Yeah, my big concern is that we do fall behind and they use it to find holes in our industrial control systems, water supply or nuclear plants. And then, you know, you see a mushroom cloud somewhere and everybody goes, well, what happened? Well, the answer is we fell behind and we can't. I mean, this is, it's a very complicated topic, but I'm glad that there's some serious people talking about it. Let me address another serious topic that has a similar kind of upside downside, but very serious, which is FISA. It is now lapsed, which is, I don't know if the telecoms are going to be willing to produce the data.

1:17:08And if they don't, it's lost forever. On FISA, when I was at the FBI with cash, we made some really, really serious reforms. We put in some guardrails that were not mandated. We did it because nobody cares more about civil liberties than me. Maybe as much, but I promise not more. I know you feel the same way. However, in this interconnected world where terrorists can just go and use Signal and other encrypted apps, there has to be some ability, especially for non-U.S. sits overseas, U.S. sit, non-U.S. citizens, to be able to at least fight, you know, with this, you know, they not, we don't have to put on 20 ounce gloves and they have bare knuckles.

1:17:44Like we can't work like that. What's going on with FISA now? So I think it's really pretty simple. We want to be able to surveil foreigners, but we don't want to surveil Americans. I've been surveilled after January 6th, I was surveilled. Biden released my tax returns. Booz Allen did it. Nothing. They've never been held accountable. And then when I built my hospital company, I went against Hillary Care. So the Clinton administration went after my target of my company. So it's happened to me. So if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. So here's what we have to do. Sit down. That's what I get so frustrated in DC.

1:18:16Everybody that has a view, let's all get into one room and take how many days it takes. But let's come up with a solution. We want to surveil foreigners, but we do not want be surveilled here in our country. There's a solution here. We ought to get to it. Yeah, it's important. Most of the president's daily brief, the intelligence, President Trump, and, you know, hipsy and sissy that you all use to make critical national security decisions, is developed from that material. So the civil liberties component has to come first. You know, you trade liberty for security, you're going to have neither, as the famous adage goes.

1:18:55But we do have to take it serious. Senator Rick Scott, I really appreciate all the work you've been doing, not just in the Senate on the national level, you vote on national issues, but your governorship laid the groundwork for a, I came down here when Florida, I think you remember this well, just one last thought on this, because you went through it. If you won an election in Florida by 0.0001 % of voters in the Republican, it was a landslide. Now, after your governorship, after two terms, now we have, I don't want to take anything for granted, of course, but we have this nice buffer. So you lived through that.

1:19:27I think it's because you implemented a pro-brisness, pro-freedom, pro-second amendment agenda, and now you're seeing the results of that. So nice work on that. Thanks, Dan. Congratulations on all your success, and thanks for your hard work at the FBI. Thank you, sir. We appreciate it. Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida. All I ask, folks, I can't tell you where to go. I am a civil libertarian. Move wherever you want. I'm just asking you kind of as a friend, please don't come to Florida if you're going to vote like you live in New York where I live there's a reason people escape from New York it's not because it's doing so great okay I told you I was just up there the vibe is totally different it was a working class town when I grew up there thanks again for tuning in again sorry we had to cover this stuff in the beginning of the show I really don't like to waste your time but you're not going to accuse me of this kind of stuff and the president uh claim you have evidence and then when I take the actual evidence and show it to the audience.

1:20:21Well, I think you know who the liar is now. All you got to do is use reason. Facts will guide the way. Compass true north matters.
