The Stakes of the Midterms and the Global Fight for Freedom

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning. With us today is Senator Rick Scott. Well, one common sense guy. He was a governor. He’s a senator. And he’s fighting hard for our country. Well, Senator Rick Scott, we’ve got nine days left of the election. What do you think?

0:14 Speaker 2 I think we’re going to do great. I think we’ve got great candidates. Clearly, there’s a difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats, either they’re complete socialists or they’ll never stand up against the socialists. And so, as we all know, socialism will work if it worked and everybody would be flocking to Havana, Cuba, and they’re not. So I’m proud that President Trump is

0:37 coming to Florida and campaigning to help make sure Byron Donalds wins the governor’s race and Ashley Moody wins re-election.

0:45 Speaker 1 I should not worry about both of them. They’re pretty good candidates, and I think Florida is a red state. I mean, is there anything to worry about Florida?

0:53 Speaker 2 No, but, you know, like, it’s an election, so you’ve got to get your voters out. I tell everybody, if we want to keep a house, Republican House and Senate and help Trump get his agenda done. We’ve got to make sure we all go out and vote and get our friends and our family out to vote for, you know,

1:08 common sense versus the crazy socialist policies.

1:12 Speaker 1 Rick Scott, Texas. There was a lot of controversy in there, but I think Paxton is going to be okay and Abbott is going to be okay. Any gut feeling?

1:21 Speaker 2 Yeah, I think he’s going to be fine. The, you know, Ken’s a hard worker, and his opponent is another crazy socialist that wants to give away free, open the borders, allow criminals, terrorists into our country. So that’s not going to play well in Texas, I don’t believe.

1:40 Speaker 1 Well, you’re absolutely right. What other states do you want to talk about? I mean, you have a pretty good pulse of things in the whole country in the Senate.

1:50 Speaker 2 Well, I think the state’s watch is Maine. Susan Collins always seems to win. New Hampshire, I think, excuse me, John Sununu is a great candidate. I think Kelly Otts did a great job as governor, so I think we have a shot there. I think Mike Rogers has a good shot to win in Michigan. That’s one to watch.

2:09 And then some that we have to defend. We have to look at North Carolina. Michael Watley is a great candidate. We’ve got to look at Ohio. John Husted is doing a great job. He’s been he’s been a senator for a while. He’s doing a wonderful job. And then we’ve got to make sure Dan Sullivan wins his race again.

2:28 Speaker 1 Absolutely. Sunday morning. What else would you like to talk about?

2:35 Speaker 2 Well, I just got back from a trip to Greece and Cyprus and Israel. In Greece, we talked a lot about what a great ally America is to Greece and how important Greece is to America. We talked about how Erdogan and Turkey keep threatening their lands, especially their islands.

2:53 I went to Cyprus, and I’ve never walked through a buffer zone in a war area between Cyprus and Turkey. And so if you don’t fight for freedom and capitalism and the free markets and all those things, you lose your country. And right now... Turkey has been basically occupying part of Cyprus for almost 50 years. And so hopefully

3:20 Erdogan will finally let the people of Cyprus decide who the leader is. And I went to Israel and went to the Northern Command and understood more about Hisbala. So, you know, thank God Israel and the IDF is, um, you know, helping protect Americans by decimating the Iranian ability to, uh, wage war against us. So the, um, so it was

3:43 a great trip. Um, but thank God for our military that are defending the freedom of this country.

3:48 Speaker 1 Well, Senator Rick Scott, thank you so much for coming on this Sunday morning and thank you for the, uh, for the, uh, update on the Senate race and, uh, and your trip. And, uh, I hope we finally finish off Iran, and we’ll catch up again real soon.

4:05 Speaker 2 All right. We’ll get out and vote.
