Sal Nuzzo 2024 Election Reaction · Conversations: Special Guests with Preston Scott

0:04
Speaker 1: Probably wearing my make June Great Again.
0:07
Speaker 2: Shirt.
0:13
Speaker 1: It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's Thursday, November seventh,
0:18
Speaker 1: and it's gonna seem really weird to hear Salmuzo's voice
0:22
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, because he's like, he's a he's a
0:25
Speaker 1: Monday guy on the show. But we decided let's.
0:28
Speaker 3: Shake things up a little bit and a very chipper
0:30
Speaker 3: on a Monday too, So yeah, you know, Thursday's not
0:33
Speaker 3: my normal day. So I'm like, you know, I had
0:35
Speaker 3: an extra cup of coffee to bring it.
0:37
Speaker 1: To this little out of sorts. Coming in here on
0:39
Speaker 1: a Thursday, it's different. Yeah, traffic was different, the floor
0:43
Speaker 1: was different, you know. But here I am and we
0:45
Speaker 1: are two days later.
0:47
Speaker 2: Two days later.
0:48
Speaker 3: I didn't know, and there was a part of me
0:51
Speaker 3: that didn't think we would even know on Thursday.
0:54
Speaker 1: The presidential race, well you heard my theory. Maybe you didn't,
0:57
Speaker 1: you're a busy guy. My theory was that if the
1:01
Speaker 1: numbers were in fact quote too big to rig, that
1:05
Speaker 1: they'd fold up their ten they'd call the race, and
1:08
Speaker 1: in the states that are questionable because they didn't want
1:10
Speaker 1: the scrutiny that would come. The problem is now the
1:14
Speaker 1: scrutiny on twenty twenty is just massive. Well, and with
1:17
Speaker 1: the numbers that are out there, and one of.
1:19
Speaker 3: The charts that I saw was total votes cast in
1:23
Speaker 3: each election presidential going back to like two thousand and
1:26
Speaker 3: eight or something, and depending on what the final numbers
1:31
Speaker 3: for this cycle come in at, we're talking somewhere fifteen
1:35
Speaker 3: million additional votes.
1:37
Speaker 2: In the twenty twenty race.
1:39
Speaker 3: That just kind of materialized that in reality that number
1:45
Speaker 3: could actually be twenty five million. Well, and depending so
1:49
Speaker 3: I'm gonna once the final numbers come in, dig into
1:52
Speaker 3: the total registered voters that turnout and try and figure
1:56
Speaker 3: out if there is a logical or reasonable explanation on this.
2:01
Speaker 1: But chure it's called ballot harvesting.
2:03
Speaker 2: I do not know of a.
2:07
Speaker 3: Reason apart from fraud, that this would be, you know, explainable.
2:14
Speaker 2: You know.
2:14
Speaker 1: It leads us to our first topic. And I think
2:17
Speaker 1: we've learned to celebrate how good Florida has become in
2:22
Speaker 1: the way you talk about learning from a iesre of
2:25
Speaker 1: an election. My goodness, the two thousand election, Florida was
2:29
Speaker 1: an embarrassment of the country. And now we are the
2:32
Speaker 1: we are the bell Weather of elections.
2:35
Speaker 3: We're the gold standard. Yes, And I'm glad that you
2:38
Speaker 3: mentioned the two thousand race, the Bush v. Gore race,
2:41
Speaker 3: because you have millions of Floridians who were not even
2:47
Speaker 3: in Florida, didn't live here, and some who weren't even
2:50
Speaker 3: born that don't remember it. And so back in the
2:55
Speaker 3: aftermath of twenty twenty, when I was with the James
2:57
Speaker 3: Madison Institute, we did a very in depth examination and
3:02
Speaker 3: analysis of everything that Florida did between two thousand and
3:07
Speaker 3: twenty twenty to become the gold standard. And it's remarkable
3:13
Speaker 3: because the tweaks that were made aren't necessarily big deals,
3:20
Speaker 3: but it's something that if you know, a handful of
3:23
Speaker 3: these states that continue to have challenges would adopt some
3:28
Speaker 3: reasonable mechanisms for tabulating reporting, especially on the early vote
3:33
Speaker 3: and the mail in vote, we would not have even
3:36
Speaker 3: the potential for issues in future cycles.
3:41
Speaker 1: Don't you find it interesting that here we are four
3:45
Speaker 1: years later in the same set of states basically had
3:49
Speaker 1: the same issues. Now most of them resolved them quicker
3:54
Speaker 1: this time, but Nevada and Arizona is still sitting there
3:58
Speaker 1: with seventy and eighty of the vote counted in a
4:01
Speaker 1: bunch of remaining.
4:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
4:03
Speaker 3: And what Florida does specifically, which every other state should
4:07
Speaker 3: do and we would never have this problem again, is
4:09
Speaker 3: what's called the pre canvas. Now, the pre canvas is
4:12
Speaker 3: when the early and mail in votes go in. When
4:17
Speaker 3: when the election offices receive the mail in votes. Most
4:21
Speaker 3: of the other states they leave them in the envelopes.
4:23
Speaker 3: They're sealed until election night, than when the polls close,
4:26
Speaker 3: they start opening and counting it. Florida, what they do
4:30
Speaker 3: is they open the votes, they collect the votes, they
4:32
Speaker 3: tabulate the votes, and they're ready to report within seconds
4:38
Speaker 3: of the polls closing. And so what you see in
4:41
Speaker 3: Florida that you don't see in Arizona, Nevada, in Pennsylvania
4:44
Speaker 3: is this immediate I hate the word dump, but an
4:47
Speaker 3: immediate dump a vote. They got data yeah on forty
4:52
Speaker 3: to fifty percent of the votes that need to be counted.
4:55
Speaker 3: So all that's left of to count are the day
4:58
Speaker 3: of votes totally, which is easy to do.
5:01
Speaker 1: And in Florida, generally speaking, in almost every county you
5:05
Speaker 1: got a paper backup.
5:07
Speaker 3: You have it, not almost every county, in every county.
5:10
Speaker 3: It's a state law. So we do it the way
5:11
Speaker 3: that we do it here in Linda County, we have
5:13
Speaker 3: a standardized ballot form with optical scans.
5:17
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
5:17
Speaker 2: Ey thing is consistent and so and.
5:20
Speaker 1: If the worst happens, you got paper ballots exactly.
5:24
Speaker 3: And if I move from Leon County to Gaston County
5:28
Speaker 3: or Osciola County, I'm not going to be unfamiliar with
5:31
Speaker 3: the ballot format when I go there. So those things
5:33
Speaker 3: are phenomenal in terms of maintaining election integrity, making it
5:38
Speaker 3: easy to vote, hard to cheat, and reportable.
5:41
Speaker 1: Immediately the House, in the Senate, there was a big,
5:44
Speaker 1: strong effort by Democrats to try to take back the House,
5:49
Speaker 1: or at least diminish they weren't going to take it back,
5:51
Speaker 1: and they weren't taking back the Senate, but it actually
5:54
Speaker 1: got worse for Democrats.
5:55
Speaker 3: Hashtag take back Florida. Yeah, it was the mantra of
5:59
Speaker 3: Nikki and the Florida Democrats. They even spent a ton
6:03
Speaker 3: of money on a nice new logo with a panther,
6:05
Speaker 3: which everybody pointed out is an endangered species in the state.
6:10
Speaker 3: So the irony, Yeah, it was boilful. Thank you for that, Nikki,
6:13
Speaker 3: well done, Yeah, great job. So yeah, on the Florida House,
6:18
Speaker 3: There was one flip of an R seat to a
6:21
Speaker 3: D and that was Carolina. Amisty lost a reelection bid.
6:25
Speaker 3: It was a true swing district. It had gone for
6:28
Speaker 3: Biden in twenty twenty. I don't know if it went
6:31
Speaker 3: for Trump this time, but it did flip. She had
6:34
Speaker 3: some or has some legal issues as well, so there's
6:38
Speaker 3: some things there. But all of the other swing districts
6:41
Speaker 3: that could have been competitive did go to ours. And
6:45
Speaker 3: the Republicans did flip a couple. They flipped HD ninety three,
6:50
Speaker 3: which is down in the central South Florida area, and
6:53
Speaker 3: they flipped back HD thirty five, which was a Then
7:00
Speaker 3: they had a special election it went to the d's
7:03
Speaker 3: in a candidate Erica Booth brought it back to the R.
7:06
Speaker 3: So on the House side, you have a House majority
7:09
Speaker 3: for the Republicans at eighty five, which is a super majority.
7:12
Speaker 3: The supermajority numbers eighty one, I believe, And on the
7:15
Speaker 3: Senate side, basically everything is the same. Corey Simon won
7:19
Speaker 3: his reelection sandally, yeah, which I will admit surprised me
7:24
Speaker 3: at how wide the margin was. Because the Trial bar
7:30
Speaker 3: and other groups really poured a lot of money into
7:33
Speaker 3: the Darryl Parks campaign trying to flip that one back,
7:36
Speaker 3: so to speak. So the Republican majority in the Senate
7:39
Speaker 3: is twenty eight, which is also a super majority, which
7:43
Speaker 3: has a profound impact on the governor's last two years
7:48
Speaker 3: with respect to policy and his agenda and what he
7:51
Speaker 3: can get done.
7:53
Speaker 1: He can basically sprint to the finish line.
7:56
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean it's funny because after twenty twenty three,
8:02
Speaker 3: which I often referred to as the state legislative session
8:06
Speaker 3: of the century, the number and transformational way of conservatism,
8:13
Speaker 3: you know, kind of pushing forward in the state I've
8:16
Speaker 3: never seen in another legislative body in my lifetime. After that,
8:20
Speaker 3: there was this question like, Okay, what do we do now?
8:22
Speaker 3: And now it's almost like it's I won't say small ball,
8:27
Speaker 3: but I think you're going to see a lot of
8:28
Speaker 3: things come up that are going to be either tweaks
8:31
Speaker 3: to some of those big picture items or smaller marginal
8:36
Speaker 3: things that are gonna have an impact but not be
8:39
Speaker 3: as transformational as something like universal school choice or some
8:43
Speaker 3: of those things.
8:43
Speaker 1: The amendments. Yeah, it was interesting to me though, sal
8:49
Speaker 1: because Great three and Fourward defeated, but we still had
8:57
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent that think abortion to be without restriction,
9:02
Speaker 1: and fifty five percent thank you how to smoke weed.
9:05
Speaker 2: Well on the abortion one.
9:06
Speaker 3: I would suggest that a chunk of that plurality majority
9:13
Speaker 3: that voted for Amendment four is a response to what
9:20
Speaker 3: many would consider a little bit of an overreach on
9:22
Speaker 3: the part of the legislature going with a six week ban.
9:25
Speaker 3: And bear in mind also that the vast majority of
9:29
Speaker 3: the electorate do not pay attention to the nuances or
9:34
Speaker 3: the back and forth on the amendment and get their
9:39
Speaker 3: information in ways that lead them in a particular direction.
9:44
Speaker 3: And so I'm not as surprised on that, because we've
9:48
Speaker 3: even said in prior months that the amendment itself was
9:54
Speaker 3: a bit of a response to the legislature going from
9:59
Speaker 3: fifteen weeks to six weeks in the twenty twenty four
10:02
Speaker 3: legislative session.
10:04
Speaker 1: Do you think this comes back to hurt the four
10:06
Speaker 1: male justices that voted to put it on the ballot,
10:09
Speaker 1: because I'm going to remember them.
10:11
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
10:13
Speaker 3: I think if it were to have had an impact
10:16
Speaker 3: on Supreme Court justices, we would have seen more of
10:20
Speaker 3: a negative vote for Renata Francis and Meredith Sasso, who
10:25
Speaker 3: were up for retention.
10:26
Speaker 2: I don't see much of a.
10:28
Speaker 1: Because you don't think people would know that they voted
10:30
Speaker 1: to keep it off the ballot.
10:32
Speaker 2: Nope, not at all.
10:33
Speaker 3: No. I think that's an inside baseball thing that by
10:37
Speaker 3: the time they're up for well, this umpire is going
10:39
Speaker 3: to remember and not enough umpires like you or out
10:44
Speaker 3: there to remember that. But I do not anticipate any blowback.
10:47
Speaker 1: What do you think the lasting legacy of this these
10:50
Speaker 1: are these two amendments going to come back?
10:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not sure. On four.
10:56
Speaker 3: I think there may be another push for three at
10:59
Speaker 3: some point.
11:00
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll figure out what doomed them?
11:03
Speaker 2: Don't know.
11:03
Speaker 3: It's a good question. Yeah, it's a good question. But
11:07
Speaker 3: I think there are a couple of lessons on three
11:09
Speaker 3: and four. And it's funny that there were six amendments
11:11
Speaker 3: here and we've only you know, all of the oxygen
11:14
Speaker 3: is on those. But one lesson in particular that I
11:18
Speaker 3: think other states should pay attention to is the Florida
11:22
Speaker 3: Governor Ron de Santis took on both of these amendments
11:25
Speaker 3: and fought them incredibly hard, and it did not hurt
11:30
Speaker 3: the cause. They tried the left tried to pin it on.
11:34
Speaker 3: You know, this tyrant of a governor is using whatever
11:38
Speaker 3: to do. And Trump won Florida by one point four
11:43
Speaker 3: or one point five million votes, and he carried Miami
11:46
Speaker 3: Dade County, which is the first time since nineteen eighty
11:49
Speaker 3: eight that a presidential candidate on the Republican side has
11:53
Speaker 3: done that. Rick Scott trounced his opponent. I can't even
11:57
Speaker 3: remember her name anymore. And so that that's one lesson
12:00
Speaker 3: that you can be aggressive and stand on principles and
12:05
Speaker 3: not have it hurt you, even when you know the
12:08
Speaker 3: left is leveraging all of their apparatus in the media
12:12
Speaker 3: and what not to try and tar and feather you.
12:15
Speaker 1: That's one should the constitutional amendment process. I know we've
12:20
Speaker 1: tried to raise the threshold the sixty six percent. I
12:23
Speaker 1: would argue that you could. You should make the argument
12:27
Speaker 1: for seventy five percent, because that's what the federal government
12:30
Speaker 1: does with the US Constitution.
12:32
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and as a federalist, I would not
12:36
Speaker 3: be in favor of a national standard for that, but
12:40
Speaker 3: I do agree that amending your state's governing document should
12:43
Speaker 3: be the hardest thing that is done in a You
12:48
Speaker 3: know in kind of state government and state operations, and
12:51
Speaker 3: I think these two amendments show how important it is
12:55
Speaker 3: to make certain that amending your state constitution is something
12:59
Speaker 3: requiring more than a simple majority. I mean, even the
13:02
Speaker 3: founders recognize that. I think they said majority rule is
13:06
Speaker 3: mob rule because all it takes is fifty percent plus
13:09
Speaker 3: one person. So the governing document for a state should
13:13
Speaker 3: not be the place to debate policy. When I go
13:17
Speaker 3: into the voting booth, the benchmark for voting yes on
13:21
Speaker 3: any constitutional amendment is in my head. I asked the question,
13:26
Speaker 3: is this something the legislature can do? If it is,
13:30
Speaker 3: I vote no, even if I like what the result.
13:35
Speaker 1: Would be, I would argue that moving forward, we need
13:41
Speaker 1: to try it. And I would argue that we need
13:43
Speaker 1: to find whoever was behind the messaging on No On
13:47
Speaker 1: three and No On four and hire them to do
13:50
Speaker 1: a two year campaign educating people on the benefits to
13:54
Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle as protecting the constitution of
13:58
Speaker 1: the state. I'm absolutely with you on that, Salnwzo Consumers defense.
14:01
Speaker 1: My guests, we're talking about the election the aftermath, and
14:03
Speaker 1: we're focused mostly on Florida here because that's where we live. Right.
14:08
Speaker 1: And for those of you, come on, admit it. You
14:10
Speaker 1: want to live here, you do. You ought to be
14:13
Speaker 1: in Florida.
14:14
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and fifty move here a day.
14:16
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, it just is Anyway, the governor,
14:22
Speaker 1: what do you think is he is he heading to
14:23
Speaker 1: the cabinet?
14:24
Speaker 2: Is he gonna take a post?
14:25
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the fun prognostication, prediction, projection kind
14:30
Speaker 3: of environment that we're going to be in for a
14:32
Speaker 3: couple of months now, This is this is fun. So
14:36
Speaker 3: the governor, he's got two years left and then he
14:38
Speaker 3: turns out and he is forty four or forty three.
14:42
Speaker 2: I believe he's a kid. He is.
14:44
Speaker 3: I mean, he's younger than me. This is the first
14:46
Speaker 3: you know, I'm like, I'm officially an old guy.
14:50
Speaker 1: He's four years older than my oldest son, for God's sake.
14:53
Speaker 3: So he's got a long time in public life if
15:00
Speaker 3: he wants it, if he wants it. So I think
15:03
Speaker 3: there is a definitely a better than average chance that
15:07
Speaker 3: he is likely considered for a cabinet post of some sort.
15:12
Speaker 3: Whether or not he takes it is a strategic and
15:17
Speaker 3: family decision that I.
15:19
Speaker 1: You know, have a co clue on. Yeah, but we
15:21
Speaker 1: can guess on it. Sure, So if you were going
15:23
Speaker 1: to wait it one side heavier than the other, serve
15:28
Speaker 1: out his two years and then consider a post or
15:32
Speaker 1: if a post comes, now jump on it.
15:35
Speaker 3: You know, I hadn't even thought of that possible permutation
15:38
Speaker 3: of it, but that's an even better option. He would
15:42
Speaker 3: turn out in January of twenty twenty seven, so that
15:47
Speaker 3: would give about one year maybe a little less between
15:52
Speaker 3: then and the Iowa Caucuses for twenty twenty eight, which
15:56
Speaker 3: I know it's too soon to start talking about, but
15:59
Speaker 3: if you think about he likely retains some presidential ambitions,
16:04
Speaker 3: and he is still the governor of the third largest state,
16:07
Speaker 3: arguably the most prominent governor in the country.
16:10
Speaker 1: And wouldn't disagree with any of that. So but does that,
16:14
Speaker 1: no pun intended, does that trump the cachet that JD.
16:19
Speaker 1: Vance has earned in his short time of being brilliant
16:22
Speaker 1: on the talk circuit and being in the role of
16:26
Speaker 1: vice president.
16:26
Speaker 3: Gosh, we used to say four years is a lifetime
16:30
Speaker 3: in politics. Now it's like six months is a lifetime
16:33
Speaker 3: in politics.
16:35
Speaker 2: I have no clue.
16:36
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of this is going to
16:37
Speaker 3: depend on how prominent a role Vance plays in the
16:41
Speaker 3: administration today.
16:41
Speaker 1: If you're a Trump what do you think he does
16:43
Speaker 1: with him? I think he I think he would be
16:46
Speaker 1: smart to put him front and center some big time stuff.
16:48
Speaker 2: I would.
16:49
Speaker 3: I mean, I am a vance convert. When Trump first
16:54
Speaker 3: selected him, I thought it was a less than stellar choice. Now,
16:58
Speaker 3: in full disclosure, I have known and been acquainted with
17:01
Speaker 3: JD for a number of years, and so I thought
17:05
Speaker 3: it was a he could have done better. I became
17:09
Speaker 3: sold on JD. Vans not only is the vice presidential candidate,
17:13
Speaker 3: but as someone who could be a very transformational vice
17:15
Speaker 3: president around the debate time when he just laid out
17:19
Speaker 3: Tim Waltz and then he went further and said, put
17:23
Speaker 3: me on every media outlet, no matter how enemy territory,
17:28
Speaker 3: Pilgrim and on holy Lands, and he laid waste to
17:31
Speaker 3: every single one of them. So I would put him
17:33
Speaker 3: as front and center as possible. But back to the governor,
17:36
Speaker 3: I think if he's going to want to retain some
17:40
Speaker 3: public persona, and I said this last month when we
17:44
Speaker 3: were on I would say the only cabinet positions likely
17:47
Speaker 3: that he would really seriously consider would be either Attorney
17:50
Speaker 3: General or Secretary of Homeland Security. I think those are
17:55
Speaker 3: the two prominent ones that would fit in his wheelhouse
17:59
Speaker 3: in a way that you know, Yeah, I mentioned Secretary
18:03
Speaker 3: of Commerce, but you know that doesn't give you the
18:06
Speaker 3: kind of visibility day to day that the others do
18:10
Speaker 3: that I think he would want to maintain a head
18:13
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty eight.
18:14
Speaker 1: If there was one post I would pick, it would
18:16
Speaker 1: be Attorney General.
18:17
Speaker 2: But that's just me.
18:18
Speaker 1: I just think he's eminently equipped to dismantle and clean
18:23
Speaker 1: that thing up because it desperately needs it. Marco Rubio.
18:27
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio, I actually saw a couple of things out
18:29
Speaker 3: there that he might get some consideration as Secretary of State,
18:34
Speaker 3: which would present a phenomenal domino thing because then DeSantis
18:40
Speaker 3: would have to appoint someone who does he appoint If
18:42
Speaker 3: he appoints someone like potentially Ashley Moody or James Upmeyer,
18:47
Speaker 3: what does that then do for the twenty twenty six races?
18:50
Speaker 3: There Byron Donalds Byron Donald's potentially, But there's another thing.
18:55
Speaker 3: Byron really wants to run for governor. Like all of
18:59
Speaker 3: the could change your mind though, Yes, indeed, and there's
19:03
Speaker 3: so much out there that could potentially happen depending on
19:07
Speaker 3: where Trump goes for the cabinet picks that it's going
19:11
Speaker 3: to be a fun couple of months.
19:13
Speaker 1: On this final segment here salnwzoh with me from Consumers Defense, Winners.
19:17
Speaker 2: And losers, Winners and losers.
19:19
Speaker 3: Okay, on the winner side, most people talk about the
19:23
Speaker 3: governor and yeah, of course James Upmeyer, governor's chief of staff.
19:27
Speaker 3: He literally took those campaigns against the two amendments on
19:33
Speaker 3: his shoulders and back and strategically showed that you can
19:38
Speaker 3: combat the left on their own turf and win. And
19:42
Speaker 3: kudos to him and the team.
19:44
Speaker 1: If you have the right person speaking.
19:47
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, but part of the strategy is getting the
19:51
Speaker 3: right person having the right message, Yeah, pushing back on
19:55
Speaker 3: the left's narratives and lies. And he did that day
19:59
Speaker 3: in day out and won. Secondly, Cordbird, Secretary of State,
20:04
Speaker 3: runs the election system in Florida. Again, gold standard. Kudos
20:08
Speaker 3: to Cord big winner there. Danny Perez, the Speaker, designant
20:13
Speaker 3: for the House. He has a super majority. There was
20:16
Speaker 3: some talk that if the Democrats were more competitive and
20:20
Speaker 3: flipped a few of those House races, he could have
20:22
Speaker 3: lost a super majority. He doesn't. That's a great thing
20:25
Speaker 3: for him. In the House Rick Scott. He in beating
20:31
Speaker 3: Debbie whatever her last name is by as large a
20:36
Speaker 3: margin as he did. His name recognition and visibility in
20:40
Speaker 3: his run to be the next Senate Majority leader has
20:45
Speaker 3: some just can't.
20:46
Speaker 1: Be Thoon or Cornyn, which just can't be either of them.
20:49
Speaker 3: And they're all They're all three are going to run
20:50
Speaker 3: for it. So evan power, I mean, God blessed the
20:55
Speaker 3: man took up the chair of the RPOF after the
20:59
Speaker 3: god Off scandal that had happened there and not only
21:03
Speaker 3: got it back on right on the right track, but
21:05
Speaker 3: supercharged the RPOF in a way that expanded the playing
21:10
Speaker 3: field and make him chair for life as far as
21:14
Speaker 3: I'm concerned. Joe Gruder, Senator from down in the Sarasota area.
21:18
Speaker 3: He is a has always been a very early supporter
21:22
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. At one point he was the only
21:25
Speaker 3: member of the Florida legislature that had endorsed Trump over
21:28
Speaker 3: DeSantis in the primary. His stock is on the rise.
21:31
Speaker 3: I would predict he may get a political appointment in
21:35
Speaker 3: some capacity up in DC and a Democrat to be
21:39
Speaker 3: on the lookout for. Senator Jason Pizzow down in the
21:42
Speaker 3: Miami area. He is a center left, moderate Democrat, a
21:46
Speaker 3: reasonable guy, a wonderful public servant. And if the Dems
21:52
Speaker 3: are gonna get back on track and be a true
21:56
Speaker 3: opposition party, Jason Pizzo is the guy that's going to
21:59
Speaker 3: do it. They need to shed the consultant class and
22:02
Speaker 3: all of the crazy leftists that are that have taken it.
22:05
Speaker 1: Over, which leads us perfectly to the loser.
22:07
Speaker 2: To the losers at the top of the list.
22:09
Speaker 3: Nikki Freed, I mean she had the chucks that she
22:15
Speaker 3: copied off of Kamala, she had the photo wop, she
22:17
Speaker 3: had the hashtags with the four letter words throughout them,
22:22
Speaker 3: which she didn't have. Is any kind of a strategy
22:25
Speaker 3: or effort, And just like you know, make Evan power
22:29
Speaker 3: chair for life, making make Nicki free chair for life,
22:31
Speaker 3: in the Republican Party will be in good shape. Kim
22:35
Speaker 3: Rivers and John Morgan, I mean, they burned tens of
22:39
Speaker 3: millions of dollars on the recreational marijuana Amendment, and it
22:44
Speaker 3: basically part of the pun was up in smoke.
22:47
Speaker 1: And I don't think a lot of people realize that
22:51
Speaker 1: John Morgan was also making a play for his business
22:53
Speaker 1: because the number of lawsuits that were going to come
22:56
Speaker 1: as a result of it, and I mean personal injury
22:59
Speaker 1: stuff because of people smoking weed on the roads. It
23:02
Speaker 1: was going to increase, and he was going to have
23:03
Speaker 1: a He's bankrolled his business forever.
23:05
Speaker 3: Oh, it was a going to be a huge windfall
23:08
Speaker 3: for any trial attorney in the state based on that alone,
23:11
Speaker 3: which brings us to the trial bar. They put a
23:15
Speaker 3: lot of what was left of their reputation on the
23:18
Speaker 3: line and backing Darryl Parks against Corey Simon. They lost
23:21
Speaker 3: big and I.
23:23
Speaker 1: Think it's never good to back a liar.
23:25
Speaker 3: Well that too, but it comes on the heels of
23:28
Speaker 3: them backing the primary opponent to Tom Leak in the
23:32
Speaker 3: Senate and they lost that, And so the trial bar's
23:36
Speaker 3: influence is waned, and I would expect some additional to
23:39
Speaker 3: reform efforts to come through.
23:41
Speaker 1: And last, but not least well two, I got.
23:44
Speaker 3: To Andrew Warren the state attorney race down in the
23:48
Speaker 3: Tampa area. He lost, But Monique World one and then
23:52
Speaker 3: the Lincoln project. The Lincoln products are exactly may they
23:57
Speaker 3: go away? The grift hopefully is up. They just you know,
24:04
Speaker 3: not enough bad can be said about Rick Wilson, Where
24:08
Speaker 3: are you friend? I've invited you on the show multiple times.
24:10
Speaker 3: He hasn't posted much. I don't think he's posted anything
24:14
Speaker 3: in the last couple of days, but the Lincoln project itself.
24:18
Speaker 1: Has getting drunk.
24:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, the hangovers come in. I do believe they're they
24:24
Speaker 3: were basically getting propped up by Chuck Schumer in a
24:27
Speaker 3: lot of the Soros money coming to them. That's going
24:30
Speaker 3: to dry up, I would imagine, and so hopefully we'll
24:33
Speaker 3: see a quick and a quick.
24:36
Speaker 2: End to that.
24:37
Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
24:38
Speaker 2: Always always good to be with you.
24:39
Speaker 1: All right, So news O with us forty eight past
24:41
Speaker 1: the hour.
