IN THE SHOW WITH CHARLIE HURT
AND MERCY SCHLAPP.
FIRST UP JOINING ME NOW DISHED
SENATOR RICK SCOTT OF FLORIDA.
HEAD OF THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
COMMITTEE.
MR. SCOTT, THANK YOU FOR COMING
BACK ON.
I WANT TO START OFF QUICKLY.
I KNOW YOU’RE DOWN IN FLORIDA
RIGHT NOW WHICH HAS HAD A HECK
OF A TIME WITH THIS HORRIBLE,
DISASTEROUS HURRICANE.
HOW IS THE CLEANUP GOING?
I WANT TO PLAY A QUOTATION IF I
CAN FROM VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA
HARRIS ABOUT WHAT SHE THOUGHT
THIS CLEAN UP SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN, SIR.
>> IT IS OUR LOWEST INCOME
COMMUNITIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR THAT ARE MOST IMPACTED
BY THESE EXTREME CONDITIONS AND
IMPACTED BY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT
OF THEIR OWN MAKING AND SO WE
HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS IN A WAY
THAT IS ABOUT GIVING RESOURCES
BASED ON EQUITY.
LARRY: RESOURCES BASED ON
EQUITY.
NOW TO BE FAIR THE FEMA PEOPLE
HAVE DENIED THIS.
SO I WILL JUST ASK YOU, SENATOR
SCOTT, WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON
THE GROUND IN THE CLEANUP.
IS EVERYBODY GETTING RESOURCES
AND ASSISTANCE TO CLEAN UP THIS
DREADFUL HURRICANE?
>> YOU KNOW SHE IS STORMS DON’T
KNOW SKIN COLOR, THEY DON’T KNOW
INCOME LEVELS.
THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY WILL KILL
EVERYBODY AND THEY HAVE.
WE HAVE LOST UNBELIEVABLE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE.
WE’RE STILL DOING RESCUE
EFFORTS, LARRY.
WE’RE NOT EVEN INTO THE
RESTORATION.
THERE ARE PLACES WHERE WE START
TO DO THE RECOVERY AND
RESTORATION BUT WE’RE STILL IN
RESCUE EFFORTS.
WE’VE STILL GOT, THERE ARE STILL
A LOT OF MISSING PEOPLE.
WE LOST UNBELIEVABLE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE.
WE LOST A LOT OF HOMES.
WE GOT A LOT OF DAMAGE.
THERE WILL BE, THERE WILL BE A
LOT OF WORK BUT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT’S JOB IS TO BE A
PARTNER WITH THE STATE AND THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO TREAT
EVERYBODY THE SAME WAY.
THAT MEANS WE ALL PAY OUR TAXES.
WE ALL GET THE SUPPORT THAT OUR
GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE GIVING US.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
HAPPENS.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT VICE PRESIDENT
HARRIS WAS TALKING ABOUT.
SHE LOOKS AT EVERYTHING BASED ON
SKIN COLOR AND THAT’S WRONG.
LARRY: YOU’RE RIGHT.
SHE WAS WRONG.
SHE SAID IT AGAIN, OUT AND ABOUT
SOME CONFERENCE SAYING SIMILAR
THINGS.
EVERY TIME SHE OPENS HER YAP SHE
PUTS HER FOOT IN YOU KNOW WHAT.
THE CAVALRY IS COMING TO DEAL
WITH THAT.
SPEAKING OF THE CAVALRY HEAD OF
SENATE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE,
HERSCHEL WALKER TAKES A LEAD,
LATEST POLLS SHOWING LIKELY
VOTERS, THEY SHOW LIKELY VOTERS
ALL OF A SUDDEN REPUBLICAN
ADVANTAGES ARE OPENING UP.
DEMOCRATS ARE PANICKING LEFT AND
RIGHT.
THEY ARE ASSAULTING IN GEORGIA,
THEY’RE ASSAULTING REPUBLICAN
HERSCHEL WALKER.
I KNOW YOU HAVE MADE A STATEMENT
ON THAT.
MAYBE YOU WILL TELL US, EXPAND
ON IT, PLEASE?
>> WELL THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE
DEMOCRATS DO.
THEY HAVE FIGURED OUT THEY’RE
GOING TO LOSE.
WE’LL GET 52 SEATS PLUS.
THE BIDEN AGENDA IS COMPLETELY
BEING REJECTED ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE GREAT CANDIDATES.
HERSCHEL IS GOING TO WIN.
THEY ARE STARTING TO SEE
HERSCHEL IS GOING TO WIN.
THEY WILL THROW EVERYTHING UNDER
THE SUN AT HIM.
I TALKED TO HERSCHEL TODAY.
HERSCHEL IS A GREAT CANDIDATE.
HE IS FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT
ISSUES.
WARNOCK HAS TO DEFEND ALL THE
BAD VOTES IN THE BIDEN AGENDA.
THAT WILL HURT DEMOCRATS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
WE’LL GET THE HOUSE, WE’LL GET
THE SENATE, WE’LL START MOVING
IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION TO GET
THE ECONOMY GOING, MAKE SURE WE
HAVE A GREAT EDUCATION SYSTEM,
KEEP THIS COUNTRY SAFE.
I BRIEF WE’LL HAVE A BIG WIN.
I’M EXCITED HERSCHEL WALKER WILL
BE ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES.
LARRY: "MONMOUTH" POLL IS OUT, A
LIBERAL POLL OUT IF ANYTHING,
USING LIKELY VOTERS, FOR THE
GENERIC BALLOT, SENATOR SCOTT,
MAYBE YOU SAW THIS ALL OF SUDDEN
41% VOTING FOR THE GOP -- 47%.
BACK IN AUGUST IT WAS 43.
DEMOCRATS ARE DOWN TO 43.
BACK IN AUGUST THEY WERE AT 50.
YOU SEE THIS IN A LOT OF
INDIVIDUAL RACES.
I’M NOT GOING THROUGH ALL OF
THEM BUT AS YOU DO LIKELY
VOTERS, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE
TABLES ARE TURNED AND ALL THAT
BUSINESS ABOUT DEMOCRATS PULLING
AHEAD OR PULLING EVEN DOESN’T
LOOK LIKE IT IS THE CASE?
>> SO, LARRY HERE IS WHAT WE
DID.
WE DEFINED THE DEMOCRATS EARLY.
WE DIDN’T HAVE TO SAY THEY HAVE
GOT BAD HAIRCUTS.
WE SAID THEY VOTE WITH CHUCK
SCHUMER AND JOE BIDEN.
THE BIDEN AGENDA VERY UNPOPULAR.
ALMOST EVERY SWING STATE BIDEN
APPROVAL RATING IS UNDER 40.
EVERY DEMOCRAT WE RUN AGAINST IN
A COMPETITIVE RACE, THEY’RE WAY
UNDER 50 BECAUSE WE DEFINE THEM.
WE HAVE GREAT CANDIDATES.
WE RAISED MONEY.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, TEX WIN
5044, HOW WE WIN MORE RESOURCES
TO HAVE BIG WINS.
I THINK WE’LL DO REALLY WELL.
THE BIDEN AGENDA IS BEING
COMPLETELY REJECTED ALL ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY.
IT’S A HORRIBLE AGENDA.
LARRY: IT IS INTERESTING, A LOT
OF THESE POLLS ARE NOW SAYING,
WITH CLARITY THE KEY ISSUES,
INFLATION, ECONOMY, CRIME.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, OKAY?
IT IS NOT ABORTION.
IT IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING.
IT IS INFLATION, ECONOMY, AND
CRIME.
NOW MY LAST QUESTION TO YOU,
SIR, YOU KNOW, THE COMMITMENT TO
AMERICA BY THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS
I THINK IT IS PRETTY GOOD AND
ONE REASON I LIKE IT SO MUCH IT
EMPHASIZE SUESES THESE KEY
POINTS, INFLATION, ECONOMY,
CRIME.
UNDERNEATH THAT TAX CUTS,
DEREGULATION, SO FORTH, TOUGHER
ON CRIME, GETTING RID OF THE
D.A.s.
THERE IS A SLEEPER ISSUE IN
THERE.
THE STUDENT LOAN CANCELLATION
AND PARENTS, PARENTS POWER IN
THE SCHOOLS.
BUT THE COMMITMENT TO AMERICA,
YOUR CANDIDATES IN THE SENATE
OUGHT TO USE THAT THING.
IT HIT THE ON ALL THE RIGHT
POINTS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK WHAT KEVIN McCARTHY
AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE THEY PUT
OUT A GREAT PROGRAM.
WE HAVE TO RUN ON SOMETHING.
I PUT OUT MY PLAN BACK IN
DECEMBER.
GO TO RESCUE AMERICA.COM BUT WE
HAVE TO BE A A BE POSITIVE.
WE’LL FIX THE ECONOMY.
MAKE SURE PARENTS ARE INVOLVED
IN EDUCATION.
MAKE SURE WE HAVE SCHOOL CHOICE.
MAKE SURE YOU LIVE IN A SAFE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
SECURE THE BORDER. HAVE A LETHAL MILITARY.
HAVE A LETHAL MILITARY.
OUR MILITARY IS THERE FOR -- YOU
LOSE, WE WIN.
LARRY: THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I CAN’T, I CAN’T LET IT SLIP BY
THAT THE BIDENS ARE SAYING WELL,
OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN IS
LIKE REAGAN’S NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE SOVIET UNION.
I MEAN HONESTLY THAT IS THE MOST
OFFENSIVE, STUPIDEST, DUMBEST
THING I EVER HEARD.
>> WELL, I MEAN IRAN, IRANIAN
REGIME IS KILLING THEIR OWN
CITIZENS FOR NOT WEARING THE
RIGHT HEADSCARF AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO
NEGOTIATE WITH THEM?
WHO WOULD NEGOTIATE WITH
TERRORISTS KILLING THEIR OWN
CITIZENS?
SAME THING HE DID WITH MADURO.
YOU GO NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST
GROUPS.
THEY’RE TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.
THEY ARE KILLING THEIR OTHER
THAN CITIZENS.
CHANT DEATH TO THIS COUNTRY.
WE CANNOT BE NEGOTIATING WITH
THEM.
WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
DOING, IN LATIN AMERICA,
MIDDLE EAST EVERYWHERE AROUND
THE WORLD IS NOT MAKING IT SAFE
FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES.
LARRY: IT MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST
ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN BUT
REAGAN UNDERSTOOD NEGOTIATING
FROM STRENGTH.
HE WOULDN’T EVEN TALK TO THE
SOVIETS IN HIS FIRST TERM.
BIDEN IN HIS FIRST TERM HAS DONE
NOTHING BUT WEAKNESS, RUNNING
AROUND AFTER THE IRANIANS.
GIVE THEM COUPLE HUNDRED BILLION
DOLLARS.
NONE OF THAT IS VERIFIABLE.
I WANT TO BRING THAT IN, MAKES
MY BLOOD BURN AS AN EX-REAGAN
GUY.
I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND IT TOO.
LAST ONE I ALWAYS ASK YOU.
HOW MANY SENATE SEATS YOU TAKE?
I THINK YOU WERE AT 52 LAST
TIME?
>> WE WILL HAVE 52 PLUS.
WE HAVE GREAT CANDIDATES.
WE’RE COMPETITIVE IN ARIZONA,
NEW HAMPSHIRE, COLORADO,
WASHINGTON.
LEORA LEVY YOUR FRIEND RUNNING A
GREAT RACE UP IN CONNECTICUT.
WE’LL FIGHT EVERY DAY.
WE’LL HAVE A GREAT NOVEMBER.
