- 1:44Speaker 3: it away from you, We're going to destroy you.
- 1:47Speaker 2: It's crazy crazy.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So you know that I did sports talk radio on
- 1:51Speaker 1: not one, not two, rick but three different stations in
- 1:54Speaker 1: South Florida five sixty w q AM. I was there
- 1:57Speaker 1: with late great Neil Rogers, late great Jim Manditch, Hank Oberg,
- 2:01Speaker 1: all those great guys. Seven ninety the ticket, and I
- 2:04Speaker 1: was there when Lebron James told the world he was
- 2:07Speaker 1: taking his talents to South Beach. And I had to
- 2:10Speaker 1: sit there in pat Riley's arena because I'm a friend
- 2:12Speaker 1: of Pat for years, and I didn't wear a white
- 2:14Speaker 1: T shirt. And I had to watch James and Wade
- 2:18Speaker 1: and Bosh and all these ex New Yorkers with Scott,
- 2:20Speaker 1: all of them that came from Brooklyn, Long Island all
- 2:24Speaker 1: over now wearing wheat white T shirts and hating on
- 2:28Speaker 1: my Knicks. I have to imagine that the Miami Heat
- 2:31Speaker 1: faithball down there, even though again the former New Yorkers
- 2:34Speaker 1: hate the fat that the Knicks or in the NBA Finals,
- 2:37Speaker 1: there's not a bare assumption.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I was, you know, you always
- 2:44Speaker 3: want your home team to win, but don't I just
- 2:46Speaker 3: like the competition. I mean, I just think, what, you know,
- 2:50Speaker 3: I hope this the series goes to the last shot. Personally,
- 2:54Speaker 3: I know, if you're a Knicks fan, you want to
- 2:55Speaker 3: end as soon as you can.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:57Speaker 2: The truth is, as a.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Fan, you want to go down to the last shot. Yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 3: the last game, the last shot. Who takes it, who's
- 3:03Speaker 3: you know, who's you know who struggles to make it?
- 3:05Speaker 3: That's what That's what's fun about sports.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Yes, and the fact that we used to don't get
- 3:10Speaker 1: along when it came to sports, but that's changed us
- 3:13Speaker 1: a little bit. So I saw this great documentary. Last night,
- 3:15Speaker 1: Rick Scott in Tribeca, my friend Michael Rappaport, the great
- 3:18Speaker 1: actor of the great comedian. He's got a new ninety
- 3:21Speaker 1: three minute documentary out. It's called Am I Canceled Yet?
- 3:24Speaker 1: And he talks about how because he was so loud
- 3:27Speaker 1: and proud about his support for Israel and the Jews,
- 3:31Speaker 1: that he can't get acting gigs. You know, he hasn't
- 3:33Speaker 1: been in a movie in two years, and that's really
- 3:36Speaker 1: the base of the movie. But in the movie he
- 3:39Speaker 1: mentions Kanye West, and I know that you, Rick Scott,
- 3:44Speaker 1: You've got an issue with Kanye.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Well, first off, the guy who supports Hitler, he's proud
- 3:49Speaker 3: of Hitler. He sells the MERCHANTI was swastikas. He hates Jews,
- 3:53Speaker 3: he's anti Semitic. Right, there's countries that won't let him
- 3:55Speaker 3: perform in their countries, and my state in Tampa and
- 3:59Speaker 3: a public venue. Right, they're going to allow this guy
- 4:02Speaker 3: to have two concerts.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It's wrong.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I mean, it's a slap in the face of our
- 4:07Speaker 3: Jewish population in Tampa, in our in our state. It's
- 4:11Speaker 3: it's spewing hate, it's and it's so you're taking people's
- 4:16Speaker 3: Let's say you're taking a Jewish person tampas, you're taking
- 4:19Speaker 3: their tax dollarship a supportant institution that brings somebody in
- 4:22Speaker 3: to attack you. Wait a minute here, does that sound logical? No,
- 4:27Speaker 3: it's wrong. So I wanted to cancel.
- 4:29Speaker 2: They should cancel.
- 4:30Speaker 3: They should never have left.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Agree. I thought that Kanye though woke up one morning
- 4:34Speaker 1: was actually hilarious. He's such a moron because he was
- 4:37Speaker 1: doing all this really nasty Jewish talk and anti Semitic
- 4:40Speaker 1: and he woke up one morning and he said, I'm
- 4:42Speaker 1: not an anti semi anymore. That's it. I'm done. I've
- 4:45Speaker 1: moved on.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Yeah, he's such a well I think if somebody does
- 4:50Speaker 3: all this stuff, only why by the way, he's still
- 4:52Speaker 3: selling merchandise with swastikas.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Oh he is. Okay, there you go. There's the answer.
- 4:56Speaker 1: So you're doing something, Rick, and I couldn't love you
- 4:59Speaker 1: more than I do already. But I'm very proud of you.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Rich Scott. The stop support for UNRA act, I know
- 5:04Speaker 1: you're working on that. Where are we in that process?
- 5:08Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to get a pass.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I mean speak about the un IS has their employees
- 5:15Speaker 3: paid by American taxpayers? That are going out and supporting
- 5:19Speaker 3: Hamas to kill Americans because Americans died over there of
- 5:23Speaker 3: Couber seventh, when the Hamas attacked in Israel.
- 5:26Speaker 2: We've got Americans.
- 5:26Speaker 3: So our tax dollars are going to supporting organization that
- 5:30Speaker 3: gives money to people to support Hamas to kill Americans.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Wait a minute, does this make sense to you?
- 5:36Speaker 1: No, No, doesn't make any sense. H Spencer Pratt was
- 5:40Speaker 1: in second with a big lead over Nithian Roman. Steve
- 5:44Speaker 1: Hilton was in first with a sizeable lead over Basera. Now,
- 5:47Speaker 1: thank god Hilton still makes it. He's not going to
- 5:49Speaker 1: beat Bisera in November. They'll never vote in a Republican
- 5:52Speaker 1: it'spens In Schwarzenegger twenty years ago. But at least he
- 5:55Speaker 1: made it. Pratt goes from easy second to a distant third.
- 5:59Speaker 1: So it's a simple question, Rick Scott, that jungle primary
- 6:03Speaker 1: in California, did they cheat?
- 6:06Speaker 2: Well?
- 6:07Speaker 3: Did you see the stuff they're putting out? First off,
- 6:09Speaker 3: there's a lot of video now about people on skied
- 6:12Speaker 3: row being paid two to five bucks for their votes.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Oh yes, you see all this stuff. Yep, And they
- 6:17Speaker 3: don't they don't require ID, right, so you all and
- 6:22Speaker 3: then how can you not count the votes?
- 6:24Speaker 2: How can they take days and days to count the votes?
- 6:27Speaker 3: You know why, because they if they're not allowing fraud, right,
- 6:31Speaker 3: if they're not allowing fraud, they're sure given the appearance
- 6:34Speaker 3: they're allowing fraud. And so so it's like what you
- 6:39Speaker 3: should do if you're elected, saying, look, I want to
- 6:41Speaker 3: be transparent and I want to make sure you feel
- 6:44Speaker 3: comfortable that nobody's being mistreated. Guess what in California they said, no,
- 6:48Speaker 3: go to hell, we don't care what you think. We
- 6:51Speaker 3: want to make sure only Democrats Wina see there as well.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Basically, and then you know, Trump had that great moment
- 6:56Speaker 1: with kristin Welcome courtesy of NBC Meet the Press on
- 6:59Speaker 1: Sunday when you walked off and she said, listen, this
- 7:02Speaker 1: is the way the elections operate. There's no fraud, there's
- 7:04Speaker 1: no cheating. You knew going in it was going to
- 7:06Speaker 1: take a couple of days because of the mail in ballots.
- 7:09Speaker 1: He takes a lot of days to count them. So
- 7:12Speaker 1: she talked about the procedure. She said, there's no proof.
- 7:14Speaker 1: You keep talking about fraud. From the twenty twenty presidential
- 7:17Speaker 1: election to California last week, She's like, where is your proof?
- 7:21Speaker 1: And President Trump said, come on, don't be stupid, Kristin.
- 7:24Speaker 1: He eventually walked off, But that is their argument, where's
- 7:27Speaker 1: our proof?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Well, I mean we got we got we got videos.
- 7:31Speaker 3: We got videos of people saying they got paid. Right,
- 7:34Speaker 3: we know that we've got dead people in the boot
- 7:36Speaker 3: rolls and they're we You know, there's people in California
- 7:40Speaker 3: they just smell our ballots.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Hey, come on in. We don't care how we have
- 7:44Speaker 2: to be to be here legally. And by the.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Way, this is the same this is the same reporter
- 7:49Speaker 3: that Diaz Canal, who you know in Cuba.
- 7:52Speaker 2: She said, it was an honor, such an honor to
- 7:56Speaker 2: talk to you. That guy.
- 7:59Speaker 3: That guy you know put people in prison because they
- 8:02Speaker 3: complain they don't have electricity and.
- 8:04Speaker 2: It's an honor.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Now she's an idiot.
- 8:06Speaker 3: A person of the United States due who's out there
- 8:08Speaker 3: trying to defend us every day. She just attached to guy.
- 8:12Speaker 1: No, he was great. I thought he was great. I
- 8:14Speaker 1: would have walked off the set to In fact, I
- 8:15Speaker 1: wouldn't do those interviews anymore. I'd give him credit. This
- 8:17Speaker 1: is the amazing Florida Senator. My friend Rick Scott, Save
- 8:21Speaker 1: America ACT. I can't believe we're still having this conversation.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Where are we?
- 8:25Speaker 2: How good is it?
- 8:26Speaker 3: I mean eighty percent plus percent of Americans won vote
- 8:28Speaker 3: righty right be an American systemt vote?
- 8:31Speaker 2: Do you know what it is?
- 8:33Speaker 3: Republican's Democrats, Independent won it right? You know who doesn't
- 8:35Speaker 3: want it? Elected Democrats because because guess what they want,
- 8:39Speaker 3: the fraud they want. They want to allow you to
- 8:42Speaker 3: be able to harvest ballads. Oh, go down to skid.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Roll, pay the two to five bucks they want.
- 8:48Speaker 3: They don't want you to have to show an idea,
- 8:51Speaker 3: gets show ninety fever that cots by voting, No, I'd
- 8:54Speaker 3: be off man.
- 8:54Speaker 2: That would be the worst thing in the world.
- 8:56Speaker 3: That would be so unfair.
- 8:57Speaker 2: So is it, Nard?
- 8:58Speaker 3: If you get on an airplane you have to show an
- 9:00Speaker 3: idea or bank account. Oh, but voting that would be
- 9:04Speaker 3: that's what's really going to hurt people. So it's fraud
- 9:07Speaker 3: the Democrats. The Democrats are blocking it because they want fraud.
- 9:10Speaker 2: And it's as simple as it.
- 9:12Speaker 3: If you don't support voter ID, if you don't support
- 9:14Speaker 3: requiring proof of citizenship to rest to vote, you support fraud.
- 9:17Speaker 3: It's as simple as that is. That's what these Democrats
- 9:20Speaker 3: are doing. They support fraud for.
- 9:21Speaker 1: It's such a nice word. The cheaters, that's what they are.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Let me give you the last sentence of Trump's last truth,
- 9:26Speaker 1: social No, you gotta run here, Rick. They've taken too
- 9:29Speaker 1: long to negotiate a deal that would have been great
- 9:31Speaker 1: for them. Now they will have to pay the price. Look,
- 9:33Speaker 1: I love Trump, but I've been critical of the President
- 9:36Speaker 1: because I thought that Tuesday night two months ago, you
- 9:38Speaker 1: should have lit that place up. It's enough, it's enough.
- 9:41Speaker 1: They're not going to negotiate. They have no desire to
- 9:44Speaker 1: do it. It's time to blow the doors off.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 9:48Speaker 3: I agree with you. They're not They're not going to
- 9:50Speaker 3: come to their senses anytime soon. And so I mean
- 9:53Speaker 3: they're crazy.
- 9:54Speaker 1: That's it, right, that's the bottom line, h Rick. I'm
- 9:57Speaker 1: going to be down in Ford the next month, So
- 9:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Okay, give me a call.
