• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that they won't explain to us at mar Lago. I mean,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you just go on. I mean, President I just had
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a campaign and I would ask people, I said, how
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: many of you think that Chris Ray is going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: tell us everything that happened in Butler? Nobody? How about
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Mari Orcist nobody? How about the director of the FBI
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: or of Secret Service? Nobody says yes, So we're now
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: starting to have some accountability. When people do the wrong thing,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they get fired. I mean that's what happened. Bes Sure,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you go on, If you went on the air and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: you were a crazy person, you'd be off the air.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I mean that's the way it works. Accountability so this
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is starting to happen. So it's we got we got
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a lot left to do. We've got a lot of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: work to do. We got we got to balance our budget.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, on Friday when I was a Trump he
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: said he wanted to balance the budget. That's music to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: my ears. I did Preston when I became governor of Florida,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Florida had not balanced his budget in twenty years. Twenty
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: years years, we're going into fault on our debt. So
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: now the federal government has thirty six trillion dollars of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a debt. And now finally we have a present that says,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you know, we could balance the budget. We could act
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like what every American has to do is live within
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: their means. That's going to bring in place in that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: in your freaks down, not this wasteful spending.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Do you feel as though part of that plan will
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: include paying down the debt.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Well, we got it's a step.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: What you have to do first is and we're gonna
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have a we're gonna have a budget meeting tomorrow.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The first thing you have to do is say we're
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: going to live within our means. Then you have to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: grow your economy faster. Uh, And so that's what we
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: didn't for a first I balance the budget. Then I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: started growing, getting the economy to grow. Then our revenue
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: grew so fast we were able to pay off debt.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So I think the first step is you got to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: balance the budget. Now what I is there money to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: be saved that you could actually start running a surplus right now? Sure?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Does Congress have the guts to do it?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: No?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's work personally. Here's how bad it is.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: In five years, we've had a two percent increase in
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: population and a fifty three percent increase in spending. Think
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I mean it's insane. We're losing We're losing two trillion
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: dollars a year right now, two and it's just everywhere
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in front of my office is packed. And for the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: last two years, it's just been packed. You know why
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: people are coming up to saying, Hey, I hear there's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: some free federal money. Can I have it for this? There?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Can I have it for that? Are going to have
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it for that? I mean I thought it's like sometimes
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you just think, why do we have local governments? So
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: why do we have state governments. If the federal government's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: funding everything, I mean, why it doesn't make sense to me.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I've never understood why the federal government was involved in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: every wants to be involved in every decision that happens
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in your life.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's because you're a practical well, you're a practical, pragmatic thinker,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and that that's that doesn't fit in Washington. Senator, we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: have a hard news break coming. You're very generous to
