Accountability. That is probably the best word to describe these past few weeks of the Trump administration. Federal workers have to show up at work. Federal budgets are being audited. Finally, some accountability on behalf of the American taxpayers. And recently Elon Musk sent an email out to federal workers from the Office of Personal Management with the subject line saying this. What did you do last week? It instructed recipients to reply with five examples of what they got done. So we'll ask our next guest, what did you do last week? His name is Senator Rick Scott. He lives in Florida. He represents Florida. Of course you know him, but he's also my senator. So I'm looking forward to having him on the show. We're also going to cover a bunch of different issues. I'll get into. He had some choice words for the news about Senator Mitch McConnell's retirement. I'll ask him about him, about Mitch McConnell. We'll also get into Ukraine as President Trump is trying to end the war there. What does that look like? A former governor of Florida, Rick Scott had to balance the budget. Is it possible to balance the federal budget? How do you go about it? What do you do? Lastly, we'll ask him, as the former chairman of the nrsc, what does the Senate map look like for Republicans in the midterms? So we've got a lot to cover with a guy who has done a lot. Also, did I mention he's a former businessman, very successful at that. So we've got a lot to cover with a guy who's done a lot in his career. I'm honored to have this conversation with my Senator Rick Scott.

Political Commentator
Well Senator Rick Scott, it is an honor to have you on the show. We were just talking before we got started and you're my Senator so I really appreciate you making the time and looking forward to there's a lot happening so looking forward to digging into it all with you. So I appreciate your time sir.
Eagles Fan
Well I'm glad you're in Florida by the way. I do have my five checklist things I did this week. I just want to make sure everybody knows I'm doing my job. I put out a newsletter every Week. I'm a business guy, so I expect everybody to have their five things a week. So 12,000 phone calls to my offices that we responded to, passed a reconciliation bill, voted for Cash Patel, Howard Lutnick, and I filed a merit based hiring bill. So you start hiring people based on merit. So that's just my first five. So if you want more, I can give you some more.
Political Commentator
Well, you know, of course this has become, you know, I mean, but this is how government should work, right? Like, it's what a novel concept to have a government that's accountable to the people, that's actually doing our work. But, like, for far too long, you know, all these bureaucrats have just skated by and now they've been hit with the reality of, okay, you actually have to show up and do your job. You, you know, there's audits, you have to be accountable for the money spent and they're not used to it. So I guess what do you make of sort of this collective freakout to this newfound accountability?
Eagles Fan
You know, I hope, I hope it's just there's a few people and it's not real. I, you know, I'm a business guy, build all these different businesses in health care and manufacturing in my life. And then I became governor of Florida back in January 2011, and what, what Elon Musk is doing, I did. I mean, everybody had a written, written, you know, plan. Every line in the budget had a, had a written purpose. If you didn't meet your purpose, I vetoed the money the next year. If you didn't do your job, you decided to leave. I mean, you're there. So if you think about how business works, you give people their job description, and if they decide not to do their job description, they fired themselves. That's the same thought process that I created when I was governor of Florida and the same process that should be done as part of your federal government. If you don't want to do the job that you're being paid to do, then leave. You shouldn't be paid. It's pretty simple.
Political Commentator
Well, and you were a great governor. And of course, in Florida is a challenging state in the sense of just, you know, there's a lot of people. And then we also tend to have a lot of natural disasters. So the response to that is, is obviously very important. But, you know, you kind of mentioned, you know, for, for to be a governor of Florida, we require a balanced budget each year. You know, when you look at the totality of the federal government and our federal budget is it Possible to balance. You know, how do you even go about it? You know what, what should this administration do to try to start to tackle that job?
Eagles Fan
Yeah, it's easy to balance the budget, Lisa. You do it. You do it every day. You say, this is what I'm going to make. I'm not going to spend more than that. So these states say they balance their budget. You know how they balance their budget? They do exactly the same thing the federal government does, they borrow money. So Florida had not bounced its budget in 20 years, had increased the state debt every year by over a billion dollars for 20 straight years. It only balances budget once in 40 years. And we were going to default on our debt. So what did I do? I did something really controversial. I said, how much are we going to take in, in revenues? We're not spending more than that. Gosh, that's hard. It seemed like what you probably do, and that's what every business has to do other be out of business. So. Yeah. So our federal government has got to do the same thing. We right now anticipate we're going to collect about $5.5 trillion of revenue. Right. So guess what? We should spend more than 5.5. Our job in Congress should be we, we're the ones who pass the budget. We should allocate the dollars. So in the last five years, the population of the United States has gone up 2%. How much do you think spending up? 53, 53%. Right. You think there's a bit of waste there? Probably. So how do we get by with less spending? Right. So that all we have to do is we have to say to ourselves, you know what, we're going to collect 5.5. Our job in Congress is to say, how do we allocate that? Well, we're going to make sure Medicare is covered. We're going to make sure the Social Security is covered. We're going to make sure we can defend ourselves. Right. So those things. And then we have the debt. So we're going to have to pay that interest. But after that, whatever is left, we're going to allocate it based on the most important things. That's what you do with your personal life when you say what's important now, when. What's important now, when. And so you say what's important for the budget this year and hopefully we can solve that problem so we don't have to spend that money next year. But the way the government works is if you don't spend more money, then you don't care about it.
Political Commentator
And you look at, you know, part of that spending is, you know, we've given, I think it's something like close to $200 billion to Ukraine. Samar, so far, the president right now is in talks to try to end the war in Ukraine, also in talks of wanting to sign a deal with Ukraine over earth minerals and other natural resources. Will there be a conclusion to this war in the near future? You. Do you think that looks like. And then sort of, what do you make of this desire to strike a deal over these earth minerals and other natural resources?
Eagles Fan
Well, I think all of us would like to have peace, and all of us, I think, would love to have Russia lose and Ukraine win, have Ukraine remain. Remain as democracy in a position that they don't have to worry about Russia invading again. That's what our, our goal is. And I think we've got to. We've got. It can't be a free ride. If you want the United States to come support you, then you need to, one, do your part. And, you know, if, if, you know, if you have something that's important to us, then you ought to share it with us. So if they have, if they have, you know, important minerals, then they clearly ought to support it with us because we've spent, you know, $200 billion to try to, you know, prevent them from being taken over by Russia. So I think that if there's one guy that can probably figure this out, it's Donald Trump, because he, he will force everybody into a real conversation about what should happen. But Russia should lose, Ukraine should win. We should get a return on our $200 billion investment.
Political Commentator
I wonder, did the big business guys in politics have, like, sort of like a mutual respect towards one another? Because, you know, I think if you look at President Trump and the way that he governs, it's very clear that he came from outside of D.C. that he came from outside of politics, that he was a business guy. Like, even wanting to strike the steel on Earth minerals and other natural resources, like, the Biden administration would have never even thought of that in a million years, or even looking at Greenland or even looking at the Panama Canal, you know, those are foreign policy issues that he's looking at of, you know, wanting to thwart Russia and wanting to thwart China's influence in those regions and areas. And so, like, it's just a totally different way of thinking.
Eagles Fan
So I imagine, yeah, it's a logical way of thinking. Every. Everything we do ought to be how do we make life better for American citizens? How do we make the world a safer place? Okay, any money we're going to spend, we get a return on investment. When you build a company, nobody, nobody wants to invest in your company, say, you know, I'm going to have a whole bunch of non essential workers or oh, I'm going to not require my workers to come to work, or I don't care if my product or service is very good, nobody will invest in that business. So if I'm going to take your tax dollars, which we do, we confiscate American taxpayers money. We confiscate it, we take it, it's forced to give it to us, then we ought to make sure we one give you a return and we tell you. What I like about Donald Trump's nominees is they, if you listen to every one of them, they're talking about two things. There's going to be transparency and there's going to be accountability. I've been up here six years, there's been no transparency and there's been no accountability. And so I think with Donald Trump, that is clearly changing.
Political Commentator
You know, but you mentioned that it's logic and it is, you know, it's common sense but for whatever reason that seems to be like devoid, I mean, like, it doesn't seem to be a part of the political equation very often on Capitol Hill. So I guess, you know, why is logic often left out of the conversation or out of policy making?
Eagles Fan
Well, there's a, first off, it's our fault as, as voters, we elect people that make us feel good rather than do good. Right? We, oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make you feel really good about voting for me, but I'm really, I don't have any background. I've never done anything before. And so this is like an on the job training. And, and so I think it's our, it's our fault as voters. We don't, we don't require people now. We require, think about, you require it. When you go out to a restaurant, you say, I'm not going back to that restaurant. If they have, if they don't have a great, great food and great service, right? At a price that's fair. You require it. When you buy a car, you require it for everything. Everything but your government, right? So what's happening under Donald Trump is now people are fed up. This election was about requiring your government to be held accountable.
Political Commentator
It makes sense. And I think, you know, I hope people are waking up to that. I mean, I think this election, you know, we, we would hope that, that, that is part of why President Trump won. A people just wanting to kind of return to logic, return because, you know, we obviously became so lost over the past four years. You had some choice words to say about Mitch McConnell and his retirement news. You know, what does that mean for the Senate, him stepping down and, you know, what do you make of some of these votes that he has taken with some of President Trump's nominees?
Eagles Fan
Well, as you know, I ran against him two years ago to be the leader, and then I ran again to be the leader in November, and I ran on a platform of accountability and transparency. The fact that we're going to start representing Republicans, we're going to start acting like Republicans. So including the Senate changed as a result of the election. We now have, we now have accountability, we have transparency. We are trying to work as a team. If you look at the people that Trump is finding their, they're outside that, the box because we've got to have people that think differently. We can't have the exact same process that we've had. So, but, you know, I'm, I'm glad that I ran against McConnell. I'm glad that the Senate has changed. We have got to represent, we, we have a great Republican Party across the country. We've got to have a Republican party in Washington, D.C. too.
Political Commentator
Do you think he's allowed his personal animosity for Trump to sort of Trump good judgment here?
Eagles Fan
I don't think, as far as I can tell, I don't know why he's doing it. No one's, no one knows, no one knows why. But I mean, he clearly is anti Trump and he clearly is against the Trump agenda. So I don't know why he's doing what he's doing. It doesn't make any sense to me. But we have, fortunately, we have 53 Republicans and we've been able to get all of Trump's cabinet members through so far. We, so we just have, we, you know, we just have to keep working out. We got a lot of work to do. We've got more nominations to get done. We've got, we've got to get a reconciliation done, which will extend the Trump tax cuts, get more money for the border military, balance of budget. We've got a deal with March 14, which if we don't pass something, then government will get shut down. What's interesting is the Democrats who always want to blame us, they say they want to shut down government. I mean, there's, I mean, like Andy Kim has gone out there and said, I want to shut down government. So I mean, I, I mean, so I don't want to. I don't know why anybody would want to shut down government. I want to make it accountable.
Political Commentator
We've got more with Senator Rick Scott. But first, after more than a year of war, terror and pain in Israel, there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid.

Political Commentator
How do you think the reconciliation bill is looking so far? Because I know there's been some disagreement about approach. You know, do you do one big reconciliation bill with the tax issues, you know, energy and border or do you kind of break it up? So I guess what's your thought process on that and how do you think things are shaping up about what that might ultimately look like?
Eagles Fan
The positive is we're having both in the Senate and the House we're passing legislation to move up process down the negative. It hasn't gotten done yet, right? I'm optimistic. I think we're going to get money for the border. I think we'll get money for the military. I think we'll, we'll reduce spending. The. So I'm optimistic now. I think we'll extend the Trump tax cuts. You know, if you, if you look right now I would, I would anticipate we'll have more than one bill, but we'll see if right now the House has committed one bill, the Senate, we're committing to more than one bill, but I'm okay with ever however we do it, as long as we get it done, that's the only thing that matters to me.
Political Commentator
Yeah, that's fair. How do you think Senator Thune's doing so far as majority leader? Obviously this is his first rodeo with the job.
Eagles Fan
Well, he's doing the things I ran on. We're having amendment votes. We are, we're having more, way more conversation. When I came up here, I tell, I tell all the new senators when I came up here, if you ask Mitch McConnell a question at lunch, then you got attacked in the Wall Street Journal the next day. So that's not happening now. The, we're trying to work as a unit. We, you know, we're clearly getting, we're staying here to get the nominations done. So I think you have to have to say right now we're heading the right direction. And, you know, I think I'm optimistic that that's going to continue. So, but look, I'm going to, I'm going to work hard to get the nominations done. I'm going to get, work hard to balance a budget and work hard to make sure we get the Trump tax cuts extended, simplify the tax code, make sure we secure the border, make sure we have a strong military. So, and you know, all my Republican colleagues that I'm talking to are in the same position. That's just, it's just hard to do. It's just, it's hard to do. We have 53 Republicans. We need 60 to pass most legislation in the Senate. The House doesn't have a big majority. So, you know, it's a lot of work, but I'm optimistic.
Political Commentator
You know, you previously served as the chairman of the nrc. Obviously, we've got midterms coming up here. How do you think the Senate map is looking for us? And you know, kind of. How are you feeling about the midterms coming up?
Eagles Fan
I'm optimistic. I think, I'm optimistic that Trump's agenda will be a very positive agenda. I'm optimistic that we'll pass meaningful Republican generated legislation. I think we can, we have A good chance to pick up a few places. Georgia. I think we can beat Ossoff in Georgia. I think we have an open seat now. Gary Peters is not running in Michigan. I think that that gives us an opportunity there. Maybe we have an opportunity in, in Minnesota, I think. I think Trump showed us that people agree with us. If we have good candidates running, you look at his significant win. So there's a lot of places that we should be competitive and have a chance to win. Got to have a good candidate, got to run a good race. And, you know, we got to make sure that what Republicans have been doing for the two years before the next election cycle are things that people feel comfortable that we've been busting our butt to help them.
Political Commentator
You know, you look at sort of the breakneck pace that this administration is moving in. You know, I've been on Fox before during, you know, one of the press conferences, and, you know, he's been out, he gets asked 100 different questions, 100 different topics, and then they go to you and they're like, oh, we're going to be covering what was just said. And I'm like, well, which topic?
Eagles Fan
You know what I mean?
Political Commentator
Like, there's literally like a hundred different things being discussed here. How has that impacted the Senate? And, you know, kind of aligning those two things with sort of just the movement from the Trump administration and then also trying to, you know, mirror that in the Senate.
Eagles Fan
It's been exciting. The. I'll tell you something. So in the Senate, I'm in the heart building. So let's say I go over to, you know, go to the Capitol four or five times a day to vote. The, the media is down the basement of the Capitol, so they'll ask me about something. And it just happened three minutes before. And that happens all the time now with Trump because he's getting stuff done. So, so with Biden, they could ask me something because it only happened like every two years. So that's, that's, that's changed. But Trump's getting stuff done. People are optimistic. I was back in Florida this weekend, and I just tell you people, I went to the grocery store people, everybody, to stop me. They said, boy, isn't exciting. What's going on. Everybody's got, you know, is exciting. The businesses are excited. So I think people feel like we, you know, we're, we're heading the right direction now. We got a lot of work to do. Got. It's hard to balance the budget, but, you know, I'm going to bust my butt to do it. And Trump has talked about balance in the budget. So. So, you know, I'm excited about what it is, knowing that it's still hard to get it done.
Political Commentator
You know, here in Florida, Florida, we, we will have a gubernatorial race coming up. Are you weighing in on that right now? Do you have a candidate in the race or do you see yourself getting involved with an endorsement?
Eagles Fan
So, so the, I've generally not gotten involved in primaries. Byron Donalds is my congressman. He, I think he's been a great person to work with. I know Trump endorsed him on Thursday or Friday. So, yeah, we're going to have a competitive governor's race, attorney general's race, CFO's race, AG commissioner race, it looks like. And actually Moody will be up. They got appointed by Desantis. So it's, it's going to be, it's going to be exciting in 2026 in Florida, but it always is in Florida.
Political Commentator
Well, Senator Rick Scott, I appreciate the work you're doing on behalf of Floridians and appreciate your time today.

All right. Have a great day.
