STUART: OUCH THAT HURTS ALL
RIGHT THE GOVERNMENT, A
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ANOTHER
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN MAY BE LOOM
ING.
CONGRESS HAS UNTIL DECEMBER 20
THAT WILL OBVIOUSLY BE RIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS TO GET
SOMETHING DONE, FLORIDA SENATOR
RICK SCOTT IS WITH US.
MR. SENATOR, I BELIEVE YOU'RE
SAYING IF YOU DON'T GET A BUDGET
DONE, YOU DON'T GET PAID, THAT'S
VERYING TO BE VERY POPULAR WITH
OUR VIEWERS.
>> STUART IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR
CHORES YOU DON'T GET YOUR
ALLOWANCE.
OUR FIRST EMPLOYER SAID IF YOU
DON'T SHOW UP FOR WORK YOU DON'T
GET PAID.
WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET, SO WE
SHOULDN'T GET PAID SO I HAVE A
BILL, IT'S REAL SIMPLE.
YOU DON'T PASS A BUDGET, DOESN'T
MEAN YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR JOB, YOU
DON'T GET PAID.
IT'S REAL SIMPLE MAYBE PEOPLE
WILL START FOCUSED ON GETTING
THE BUDGET PASSED RATHER THAN
CONTINUING RESOLUTION FROM THESE
FIRE DRILLS EVERY 30 DAYS.
STUART: THAT WOULD BE LARGELY
SYMBOLIC BECAUSE YOU CAN PRESENT
A BILL BUT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY
HAVE IT SIGNED.
>> NO IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO GET
IT DONE.
I'LL TRY TO GET A VOTE IN THE
SENATE FLOOR SOON AND THEN
WORKING WITH SOME HOUSE MEMBERS
TO TRY TO GET IT DONE, I THINK
THE PRESIDENT WILL SIGN IT, BUT
IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO GET IT
DONE SO EVERYBODY CALLS THEIR
HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS AND
TELLS THEM THEY WOULD LIKE THEM
TO SUPPORT THIS BILL MAKING MY
LIFE A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO GET
THIS DONE.
STUART: LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
SENATOR NOW WHAT ABOUT
IMPEACHMENT?
ARE THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
SENATE ROCK SOLID TOTALLY UNITED
AGAINST A YES VOTE ON
IMPEACHMENT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT.
IN THE SENATE, YOU DON'T GET TO
USE HEARSAY EVIDENCE LIKE IT'S A
REAL TRIAL NOT THE FAKE STUFF
THAT THE HOUSE DOES OR THEY DO
IN CHINA WHERE THEY USE HEARSAY
EVIDENCE.
HERE YOU HAVE TO HAVE EVIDENCE.
THE ONLY PERSON TRANSPARENT IS
TRUMP.
HE PUT OUT THE TRANSCRIPT.
SO I THINK THESE ARE GETTING
HURT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE PEOPLE
BACK HOME ARE SAYING WAIT A
MINUTE.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME DOING
IMPEACHMENT AND YOU'RE NOT
PASSING THE BUDGET, SECURING THE
BORDER, REDUCING DRUG PRICES.
SO I THINK BACK HOME I THINK THE
DEMOCRATS ARE HEARING THAT
PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED AND NOT
GETTING ANYTHING DONE.
STUART: WHAT'S THE STATE OF
FLORIDA'S ECONOMY?
I ASK BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY A
KEY STATE A BATTLEGROUND STATE.
THE ECONOMY OVERALL IS DOING
WELL.
HOW IS FLORIDA BECAUSE YOU'RE A
KEY STATE IN 2020.
>> WELL, THE ECONOMY IS DOING
GREAT.
I THINK TRUMP WILL HAVE A BIG
WIN.
EVERYTHING I SEE, HE'S IN A
SIMILAR POSITION HE WAS IN 2016
DURING MY RECENT 2018, AND
THE RNC HAS A GREAT GRASSROOTS
EFFORT BUT THE ECONOMY IS ON
FIRE.
TOURISM IS WAY UP, HOME SALES
ARE UP, 500,000 PEOPLE MOVED TO
THE STATE LAST YEAR, SO I THINK
THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE A BIG
WIN AND I THINK ON ALL OF HIS
RALLIES, YOU GOT TO TALK ABOUT
JOBS A LITTLE BIT MORE AND TALK
ABOUT THE ECONOMY A LITTLE BIT
MORE, BECAUSE EVERYBODY LOVES
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY
LOW UNEMPLOYMENT, LOW AFRICAN
AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT, LOW
HISPANIC UNEMPLOYMENT WE'RE ON
FIRE RIGHT NOW IN THIS COUNTRY.
STUART: GOT IT, MR. SENATOR AS
ALWAYS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
