Chapter 2: What is Senator Rick Scott's perspective on budget confirmations?
I'm in the state of Florida right now, and I hope you are, too, because it's just a great spot. I'm still here.
I go back in about an hour. We're working on these confirmations, these nominations to get them done. So we have to be there. to move the process along because the Democrats keep trying to block it.
Yeah, so tell us about that. What exactly are the Democrats able to do? Can you explain this? Because our audience gets a little impatient, as they should. They say, we have a majority. Why do we have to wait for these guys for cabinet officials? What gives? Explain it, please, to our audience.
Chapter 3: How are Democrats affecting the Senate nomination process?
Well, first off, here's what's frustrating. We've had 13 nominees done. At this time, Obama had 26. So what's happened is they can slow the process down by requiring us to have a vote on every procedural move you can imagine. They are. They're also requiring us to use the entire 30 hours of debate time for every cabinet member, which they are. So, you know, we have to stay there.
We have to work weekends. We have to get these things done. Tonight, we're going to be doing the confirmation for Tulsi Gabbard. And then once we get her finished, which will be either tomorrow or Wednesday, we'll go to Robert Kennedy. So I'm optimistic that we're going to get enough votes to get everybody through. But be vocal.
Tell your senators how much you care about these individuals because it increases the odds that they'll vote for them.
So, Senator, when is it worth saying, OK, we need to we need to change the Senate rules? I mean, at what point do we get there? Because we are now three weeks into the presidency. I know that's a tough question and I know that it comes with a lot of weight, but we're three weeks in and we still do not have a secretary of commerce.
We still do not have – and by the way, just so everyone in the audience understands, we don't have any of the deputy positions either. We're talking about deputy positions that need to be Senate confirmed. This is – they are not good faith actors. I know. We have no ambassadors. So, Senator, they're trying to steal Trump's second term.
Well, what they're trying to do is try to make sure he didn't win. I mean he won. He got a mandate. So what we have to do is we have to keep Hussein up there, and eventually I believe what's going to happen is – The Democrats will finally relent, although what Elon Musk is doing is just destroying them. The fact that he's showing this unbelievable abuse.
I heard there was a tweet this morning that just last week over $50 million was sent from FEMA to hotels in New York City. This has got to stop. So he's finding this. What he did by, you know, we're getting rid of USAID. How could any American say, oh, that was a good use of American money, what USAID was doing? So Trump's right. We've got to go through every line in the budget.
I did it as governor. There's 4,000 lines in the budget in Florida. I went through every year, every line. We had a written purpose. That's how we balance the budget. Trump is committed to balancing the budget. So we're going to keep working on these nominations, but we also have to get this budget in line.
Yes, we do. Senator, I'd like you to comment on Doge, which I know is a new concept in D.C. to actually try and save money. You've been a wonderful fiscal hawk, which I really appreciate about you. You ran a great ship in Florida and have been trying to do the same in D.C.

Chapter 4: What actions does Rick Scott propose to balance the budget?
He's showing us the unbelievable abuse there is in the system. He's not doing it to help a political ally or hurt somebody else. He's saying, do you want to waste money? Anywhere in the world? I mean, some of the things the USAID was spending money on makes no sense. So Trump's doing what he should be doing. And he's talking about what's important to the American public, balance of budget.
So I'm very appreciative of what everybody at Doge is doing. I'm appreciative of what Elon Musk is doing. We've got to go through every line. We've got to get all this money out. Charlie, think about this. In the last five years, we've had a 2% increase in population and a 53% increase in spending. If we went back to spending five years ago, we would balance the budget.
We would balance the budget. That means interest rates will come down. That means inflation will go away. We can do that. We should be doing that right now.
So, Senator, the markup process is very important. There are some reports here, if I could read from you, from I think it was the Hill.com this weekend. Let me get this. And I think it's very important. Hill leadership now admits it is planning an extension of the CR through September 25th, which means that Trump's first year of his second term is it would actually be Biden's budget.
Is that necessary to get to the reconciliation bill? And please explain this.
Well, what we have is we have one or two or three recreation bills. So with that, what the first one that we're talking about in the Senate is we would fund the border. So Trump can for sure secure the border, which he's doing everything he can. Number two, there's a military spending we need to do. And number three, then we start the process of to extend the Trump tax cuts.
That would probably be done a little bit later, maybe April, May, June, or July, something like that. In the meantime, government gets shut down March 14th if we don't continue our government funding. So the right thing to do is it would be to go back and balance the budget right now.
But it's very difficult to do that because we need 60 votes to be able to do the continuing, whatever we're going to do. Typically on a continuing resolution, you have this big blowout spending. Fortunately, We're not talking about big blowout spending bill now.
They're talking about continuing the existing, which is better than 8,000 earmarks, which is what they've been doing every year since I've been up here, and everything under the sun that somebody wants. So right now, we started the reconciliation process in the Senate. We are working on what we're going to do on March 14th.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the CFPB and why should it be defunded?
We could start paying off debt. When I was governor, I paid off a third of the state debt. We could do that at the federal level and we should be doing that. We have to do that someday.

That is relieffactor.com. Senator Scott is with a senator. I believe you are co-sponsoring at your aunt. You have this bill with Senator Cruz on the CFPB. What is the CFPB? What is the history and why should we defund it?
CFPB, who I never met one person in the entire country that said, boy, I'm excited because we have the CFPB. So it's just it's just money to go harass Americans. They've harassed Floridians. It's his money to harass them. And guess what? Trump is doing the right thing. I mean, he's done so many things. But shutting down the CFPB would be unbelievably important to help build our economy.
So I'm on a bill with Ted Cruz, who's the lead on it, to get rid of it. But look at what Trump's done, what he's been in office, what, three weeks? Get rid of USAID, get rid of CFPB. He's got, what, nine Americans back from Hamas, Taliban, Maduro. Maduro is taking people back. See, Colombia is taking people back. The border is secure. I mean, this is three weeks.
Just think what's going to happen in the next little less than four years now.
So it's just what's happening here with the CFPB over the last couple of years has been remarkable. And was it ever given original congressional charter?

Chapter 6: What are Rick Scott's legislative priorities?
Look, everybody, we are at the front edge, the cutting edge, the tip of the spear of a reclamation of our government. This is one of the more unlikely things ever to live through. The cycle of nations is usually once a republic is lost that does not come back. We are questioning that. We say if America has done exceptional, unlikely, unique things before, why can't we restore it?
Why can't we give a voice back to the people? We are a special nation. What's really crazy is how You look at the stakes around us and how we were providentially established. We were at the abyss. We all dodged a bullet when President Donald Trump's life was spared. And President Trump is fighting so hard every day. He is working his tail off.
I had the opportunity to see him over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. And up until midnight, he is working. He's doing meetings. He's signing documents. I mean, he is just a beast. Working for you, by the way, for the American people every single moment. They can't keep up. They can't keep up with this machine. And the shock and awe is going to continue.
And the Democrats are still trying to process all of this asymmetric warfare. Are you tired of scrolling through shows on TV and finding nothing but the same mind numbing content?

We had Senator Scott, now Senator Lee. Senator Lee, I'm going to start about our good friend, Kash Patel. The Democrats are doing everything they can to stop Kash Patel from becoming FBI director.
Where does his, let's just say his status hold as of right now?
First of all, Kash Patel has got to get confirmed, and he will get confirmed if the American people need it. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, take a look at Kash Patel's Judiciary Committee hearing. It was six hours of pure Kash badassery, as I like to say.

Chapter 7: What is Charlie Kirk's closing message?
Cash told the truth. That, by the way, is why the deep state doesn't like him. That, by the way, is why there has been so much opposition to Cash. But the truth is he's going to get confirmed this week. On Thursday, we're going to hold his vote in the Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee has some procedures that are somewhat unique.
And those procedures can make it time consuming to get out of there. But we'll get him out of committee on Thursday. Once that happens, we'll rush him to the floor. And within a few days, probably early next week, he'll be sworn in as the FBI director. I'm confident of that.
So since him being sworn in as FBI director, what will that mean substantively of changes at the Bureau? What are the major changes that we can expect from the FBI?
Well, first of all, you're going to have somebody in there who is skeptical of government, which is exactly what we need in government generally and in that FBI in particular. So I think you're going to see a different approach taken toward FISA 702. I think you're going to see more strict procedures in place. I think you're going to have
an FBI that is focused on investigating crime rather than investigating enemies of the sitting regime. And that's been one of the problems that we've had at this entity. As a former federal prosecutor myself, and Cash has the same distinction on that front, we can both see that the FBI is this long-revered institution whose reputation has sadly been tarnished
by people who have wanted to make the fbi much more about political espionage much more about gaining a political advantage for the deep state and for the democratic party that will be no more and i think you'll see changes right away that will reflect those things and this is one of the more important fights in front of us we never thought we'd be able to get
Akash Patel as being FBI director, seeing the powers to be consolidated around him has been very promising. This story from CBS News, Justice Department agrees to not publicly reveal names of FBI agents who worked on January 6th cases. Initially, the FBI handed over employee identification numbers of 5,000 people. Did we really have 5,000 people senatorly working on January 6th cases?
How many pedophiles, child sex traffickers, murderers, went free because we did not have agents allocated towards those cases? Senator Lee.
Certainly makes a person wonder. Look, we have those numbers that have been released about the sheer number of the very substantial percentage of the FBI's agents that were working on January 6th related matters. Now, What we don't know, what I haven't seen yet, is the extent to which those people were working entirely or mostly or predominantly significantly on January 6th cases.
