He shares how the shutdown is impacting Floridians—from closed Social Security and Medicare offices to delays in flood insurance and limited access to national parks. Drawing from his time as Florida's governor, Scott emphasizes the need for a balanced budget, reduced federal spending, and greater government accountability. He also tackles national issues like inflation, job creation, drug supply chain risks, and overregulation, while contrasting Florida’s public safety success with states like California. The conversation turns somber as Scott addresses the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, condemning political violence and honoring Kirk’s legacy. Senator Scott wraps up with a call for civic action—encouraging listeners to vote, stay informed, and reach out to his offices for support. Tune in for a candid, in-depth look at the shutdown, what’s at stake, and why Scott believes Florida can lead the way.
