He 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: spoke to reporters after a closed door lunch with Senate Democrats. 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: We had a very spirited discussion at our lunch. Passionate strong, 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: and there was universal universal agreement in that room that 36 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: we have to come to an agreement, and we've got 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: to get it done and want to get it done 38 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: this week. This week you heard it from the leader 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: as I read the headline on the terminal, Schumer says 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: Democrats aim for deal this week on Biden agenda. There 41 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: it is, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is across 42 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: the aisle watching. He sounded almost entertained when he held 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: his weekly news briefing today. Well, we've all been fascinated 44 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: by the stories all of you are filing about the 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: difficulty our Democratic friends are having getting everybody in place 46 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: on this reckless tax and spend proposal. The longer this 47 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: lays out there, the more unpopular it becomes. Well, even 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: as meetings continue at the White House today, as we 49 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: told you what happened, President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris 50 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Trateury Secretary Janet Yellen holding two meetings, one earlier with progressives, 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: one scheduled for now with moderate members in the House 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: and hopes of finding a framework they can agree on. 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: And that is where we pick up with Congressman Emmanuel Cleaveland, 54 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: Democrat from Missouri, the former mayor of Kansas City and Congressman. 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: It's great to have you on Bloomberg Radio. Welcome. You 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: have said that you're in the common sense Caucus. Is 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: that why you're not in one of these meetings today 58 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: at the White House? Well, I'm not in in the 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: in one of the meetings because I actually believe in compromise. 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, democracy demands compromised if we 61 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: didn't have a democracy. The dectatiorship, so you know, so 62 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that people are working on it, and I 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: think for the most part, those who are doing so 64 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: are seriously trying to agree on on how we go forward. Uh, 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's it's a good day when we 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: don't have to talk about process and when we can 67 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: talk about you know, allowing medicip to negotiate drug prices 68 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: or expanding Medicare provided vision, dental, and hearing. My father 69 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: just turned one hundred years old on julysic. Scene He's 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: in perfect health except for his hearing and the hearing 71 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: it would cost him cost my dad five thousand dollars 72 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: and so you know, uh, you know, he outlived all 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: of his his retirement income. So the thing is we 74 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: have not uh done as well as we should have 75 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: and and selling the package and I think lets McConnell's 76 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: God bless him, is having fun. But the truth of 77 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: the matter is he's wrong when he says the long 78 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: good hangs out here, the more people turned against it. Uh. 79 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: I think the all parts of those of the legislation 80 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: are very very uh high in the Poland with the 81 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: country company, and wonder talking about it. I wonder what 82 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: you're hearing and what you're seeing, Congress. And I'm by 83 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: the way, happy birthday to your dad. If God, if 84 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: we could all say that we did something right, do 85 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: you believe Senator Shumer in the Democrats can come to 86 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 1: an agreement this week? What's changed? What's what's it? Where's 87 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: the urgency coming from? I think the urgency is coming 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: from the fact that uh that uh Senator Mansion and 89 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: such senators uh, Senator Cinema both here. What Mr McConnell 90 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: is is saying what he just said helps us. I 91 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: mean he essentially saying, you know, we want the Democrats 92 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: to to remain hostile. And I think many of the 93 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Democrats I've been speaking with, I've been saying, look, uh, 94 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, we are accommodating the desires Republicans right now 95 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: by uh engaging and and these uh uh interpret party 96 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: uh conflicts, and so I think the other the other 97 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: thing that that that that we need to think about 98 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: is Look, we're moving into the holiday season in the 99 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: United States of America is the most unproductive spot on 100 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the planet after you know, probably the middle of November, 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: after the Person of the Year. So we realized that 102 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: we have a short period of time to get something done. 103 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: How important is it to have that self imposed deadline 104 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: that we we talked so much about these deadlines Congressmen, 105 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: they come and they go. Sometimes it doesn't seem like 106 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: they matter a lot. But we also have a transportation 107 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: funding running out on on October thirty one, so there 108 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: is a real reason to hit that date. That is 109 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: why we have We have a number of things coming up, 110 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: and the debt limit is is being foolishly played around 111 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: with politically, but you know, we we we've got to 112 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: have the table clear so that we can put new 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: items on the table that must receive our attention. And 114 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: uh and and and the but the budget, the dead 115 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: ceiling is one of them. Well go on the House 116 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Financial Services Committee. So you have a really unique view 117 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: here of how this might take hold. If you hear 118 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: that there's an agreement of framework that came out of 119 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: these meetings today at the White House. How quickly could 120 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: your committee actually get to work to in writing components 121 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: of this bill so you could all sit down and 122 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: read it together. Oh, I think we would if we 123 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: found it they came help with an agreement to night. 124 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: I think we'd begathered earlier in the morning. And you 125 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: find people running around UH meetings and these subcommittees in particularly, 126 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: like mind the subcommittee on on housing, which is a 127 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: a major role of major part of the bill back 128 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: better UH and and and UH insurance matter issues of 129 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: insurance and and with the seniors. UH, you know the 130 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: UH we we deal with almost everything that has inthing 131 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: to do with finances. And you could turn that bill 132 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: in time for a vote or even gosh, you know, 133 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: a broad agreement by the end of this month. You're saying, well, 134 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: we won't have all of the detailed workout by the 135 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: end of the month. The departments they're gonna have to 136 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: probably finish those will have a broad outline, and then 137 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: the the secretary would would get it and then UH 138 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: put all of the parts together so that we could 139 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: presented to the public and UH and and a system 140 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: for people coming after the money flying for the money. Congress, mcleiver, 141 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: you stood in the Oval office with President Biden. You've 142 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: seen him in these conversations and seen him at work 143 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: with members from Capitol Hill. What role is he playing? 144 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: What posture is he taking with members as these meetings 145 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: take place? Well, I was with at the very first 146 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: meeting he had with Democrats who had had been uh 147 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: in the municipal government. Uh and uh Republicans Uh. Mid 148 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: Rundon led the delegation in and I look, I went in. 149 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: This is early on, and I thought, you know, I 150 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: don't know how how much the president has uh you know, 151 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: been briefed on housing. And I don't know whether you 152 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: know he's going to be conversing in this issue. When 153 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: really started the conversation, I can tell you and I 154 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: said it, uh, all over the country who have gone 155 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: to speak that Biden was as aware of and knowledgeable 156 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: about the issues around affordable housing. Has anybody ever been around? 157 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know who started rumor about he's slowed 158 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: down his brain hasn't? Is he a listener or a 159 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: cajoler in these meetings? He has been both uh you 160 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: know and and uh you know he never raises his 161 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: voice when he disagrees. He uh you know he'll say, Oh, 162 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: that's not you know, the way this should go. I mean, 163 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: as you probably, as most people probably know, he's not 164 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: a nasty person by nature. Uh. And and it's difficult 165 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: to dislike him anyway. So I appreciate that you liked 166 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the man personally. I just want to give you just 167 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 1: a just a good word, Congressman, that we're going to 168 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: speak next with Senator Rick Scott, a Republican of course 169 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: from Florida, and he has very different ideas than you 170 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: do about this. I spoke with him, I spoke to 171 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: them earlier today on Capitol Hill. And one of the 172 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: points I want to give you a chance to give 173 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: a pre bottle. One of the points that he made was, 174 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: and he says this every time we talked to him, 175 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: you pass this spending bill, this reconciliation bill happens, and 176 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: it's going to cause widespread inflation. Is he wrong? He 177 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: is wrong? Why is he wrong? He is wrong? Because? 178 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,479 Speaker 1: Number one, I think the the inflation that we are experiencing, 179 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: based on many of the economists, is due to the 180 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: cloud up uh, you know, supply lines. Uh. And I think, uh, 181 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: that's going to take us into the new year. And uh, 182 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: any inflation. We we we experienced. Any higher level of 183 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,239 Speaker 1: inflation is going to be due to the seasonal purchasing 184 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: of Americans. And the prices are are understandably going to 185 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: rise because of what's happening in Long Beach with ships 186 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: that's for away as four miles. So you reopen the 187 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: supply lines, and and and it's transitory inflation, is your view, Well, 188 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: yes it is. That is exactly the word I would use. Congressman, 189 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: I do appreciate it. Congressman Emmanuel Cleeveford, Democrat from Missouri, 190 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: the fifth Congressional districts, the home district of Harry Truman. 191 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: You're listening to Bloomberg. You sound on with Joe Matthew 192 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio. Send him a Georgian leader. Chuck Schumer 193 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: says Democrats are working toward a deal this week. In 194 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: agreement to make an agreement. White House hosting meetings today 195 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: anytime with moderates or with progressives from the House, as 196 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: the delicate dance around a possible deal continues because not 197 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: a single Republican plans to vote for President Biden's spending package. 198 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: Here now, some like Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who 199 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee are going further to 200 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: warn this plan will end up damaging the economy. I 201 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: spoke with Senator Scott today on Capitol Hill about a 202 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: range of issues, beginning with the Democrats spending plans, which 203 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: he opposes. First off, the vitens sation doesn't understand basic economics. 204 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: If you look at it, excess government spending always causes inflation. 205 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Inflation hurts the poorest families in this country. I grew 206 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: up in a poor family. I watched my mom. We 207 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: lived in public house, and I watched my mom struggle 208 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: to put food on the table. That's what's going on 209 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: across this country right now. Food prices are up, gas 210 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: prices up. People have to choose do I fill in 211 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: my car to get to work or do I feed 212 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: my kids. That's what's going on in this country. I mean, 213 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: the Bide administration said it was a high class problem. 214 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: We're not talking about just Gucci bags going up. We're 215 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: talking about milk going up, gas going up, homes going up, 216 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: rent going up, we use cars going up. Everything is 217 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: going up. The poorest families are getting creamed by the 218 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: Biden agenda. This this you know, and then now he's 219 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: got this vaccine mandate. My dad was a truck driver. 220 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: My doctor damn's truck driver. So they're gonna tell an 221 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: individual like him, you either go to work or you 222 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: take a shot. Now what if he's not comfortable taking 223 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: the shot? So he just loses his job? I mean, 224 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: who's doing who he thinks about these policies. And by 225 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: the way, if guys like my dad, the truck drivers 226 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: quit their job or lose their job, what's gonna happen 227 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: to the supply chain? And it's gonna cause more inflation. 228 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about supply chains because the 229 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: clogged supply chains are getting a lot of the blame 230 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: for high prices as well. Do you support the president's 231 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: effort to bring ports to seven schedule? Will that help 232 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: to relieve some of the pressure. I support whatever we 233 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: can do to get these supplies back to families. And 234 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: we've got to get these prices down. When I was 235 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: governor of Florida, we have fifteen uh supports of my state. 236 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: I invested a hundred one point four billion dollars on one. 237 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: They're good paying jobs too. It will reduce the cost 238 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: to get goods into the great State of Florida. So 239 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I believe, I believe that we've got to invest in 240 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: reports and we got to do this. Absolutely, we gotta 241 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: do everything we can with It has to be all 242 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: hands on deck. So what we need to do is 243 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: we need to get guys like the Secretary of Transportation. 244 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: We need a Secretary of Commerce to come to the 245 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: Commerce Committee. See what are you doing? I mean they're 246 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: acting like their commentators. Oh where this is gonna be 247 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: a problem. Where there's that's a commentator. Now you're supposed 248 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: to be an action person. They're not getting anything done 249 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: and it's going to cause more and more and more 250 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: inflation hurts our force. Families, will tell me more about 251 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: what you would do, because we know that private enterprise 252 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: runs most of this chain, right from the ships to 253 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: the ports to the warehouses, trucking and rail. How does 254 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Senator Rick Scott solve the problem. I'm a business guy, right, 255 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: So what you do is you call people, You get people, 256 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: sit down and say what are the issues, and it's 257 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: just one by one by one solve the issue. I mean, 258 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: as an example, are we making them too difficult to 259 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: get truck drivers? Are we making it too difficult? Are 260 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: we limiting their hours the wrong way talk to the 261 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: people in the business. I had four hurricanes while I 262 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: was governor, four massive hurricanes, and so what I did 263 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: is I sat down with each industry group and said, 264 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: how do I help you get the utilities back on? 265 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: How do I make sure we don't run out of gas? 266 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: What do you need me to do? How do I 267 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: make sure your phones are gonna work? And then we 268 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: just solved one thing after that. For what the Biden 269 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: administration does, They'll sit down with some bankers from New York, 270 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: but they won't sit down with people to solve the problem. 271 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: Sit down with truckers, ask him what are we doing 272 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: to you? Because they're not doing anything to help truckers 273 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: like my dad. They did have a pretty big meaning 274 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: at the White House with FedEx ups some of the 275 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: big retailers. Is that a better approach? I think the 276 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: arty with everybody they can, But what do they do? 277 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: Ex something to come out of it. I'm a business guy. 278 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: What you do if you want to solve problems, you 279 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: do something, You try, You say, Okay, I'm gonna try that. 280 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: So what But this what this White House is. They'll 281 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: have a nice meeting, but nothing will happen. I mean, 282 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: you don't hear anything of the Secretary Transportation. What is 283 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: he doing? I mean, what what is what actions is 284 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: he taking? What regulation is he waving? What? What? How 285 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: is he making it easier to get goods to market? 286 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: You helped to introduce the pay Down the Debt Act, 287 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: and I was reading your ot bet on that recently. 288 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Why not use this debate over the debt ceiling that's 289 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: currently being had and we're about to have this debate 290 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: all over again, even though I know Mitch McConnell says 291 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Republicans will not play a role in suspending or ray 292 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: using the debt ceiling. Wouldn't you seize this moment as 293 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: leverage to maybe create a plan to pay down the 294 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: debt like yours? Absolutely, we have got to figure out 295 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: how to get our fiscal house order. You don't get 296 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: to go and just borrow unbelievab amounts of money. You 297 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: have to live within your means. Families have to do 298 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: it across this country. We all have to do it, 299 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: except for government. So we've got to say, if you 300 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: care about Medicare, if you care about soul security, then 301 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: we gotta live within our means. We gotta figure out 302 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: how do we live within our means so we can 303 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: continue to fund those programs if you care about a 304 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: poor family, and to stop the inflation like watching. I 305 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: remember my mom worried about when she would send me 306 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: the grocery stores. She said, she said, Ricky, you only 307 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: have this amount of food money. You've got to look 308 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: at all the prices. We've got to help people like that, 309 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: and you don't do it by reckless spending. You don't 310 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: do it by running about big deficits. Their plan right now, 311 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats plan, will take our federal debt to forty 312 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: five trillion dollars. Who's gonna how many people are gonna 313 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: vote to raise their taxes to pay for forty five 314 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: trade in dollars with the debt? Well, I ask you 315 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: that because is political parties tend to find religion on 316 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: debt when they're in the minority. Right, how do you 317 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: keep that that spirit, that message you just sent alive 318 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: if Republicans retake control of the Senate. Well, first off, 319 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: we're going to take recontrol of the Senate. The American 320 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: public is fed up with the Biden administration. When I 321 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: was governor of Florida, all right, I actually paid off 322 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: a third of the state debt. I walked in with 323 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: a four billion dollar budget deficit. All right, Mike, economy 324 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: in Florida at the time in I got like it 325 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: was in shambles. The privacyctor at one point seven million jobs. 326 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: We cut hundred taxes and fees. We cut about the 327 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: regulations in the state. We streamlined the permitted I guess 328 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: what jobs came back revenues group, we paid down her debt. 329 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: That's what we've got to do. That's what we have 330 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: to do up here. I'm gonna keep fighting to get 331 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: people to say, one, we got to grow this economy, 332 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: and we gotta live with the ermies, and we got 333 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: to take care of our safety net programs so we 334 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: don't have problems down the road. Your chair of the NRSC, 335 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: so I'll ask you about taking over the Senate. As 336 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: you stare down this uh, this path to the mid terms, 337 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: your ray seeing an enormous amount of money. Believe it 338 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: was twenty five million dollars in the last quarter. You 339 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: have more at this stage of the year than you 340 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: did in You're leveraging the internet. It appears in a 341 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: very effective way. Fifty six thousand new donors to the 342 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: Republican Party. How are you using the internet to redefine fundraising? Well, 343 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: first off, just this year we added over a hundred 344 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: thousand new online our digital donors. I mean, I mean, 345 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: we're doing unbelievable because people are engaged, so we're talking 346 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: to them, We're letting them know what's happening up here. 347 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: So we've just in the month of September, we were 348 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: raised five million dollars just on digital average donation thirty bucks. 349 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: I think it was over a hundred and sixty thousand donations, 350 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: hundred sixty nations in one month. So we're just engaging 351 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: with with donors. We're trying to find new donors every month. 352 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: We're growing our our base, uh quite a bit. And 353 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm traveling the country talking to people, given speeches around 354 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: the country. People were excited about our agenda. They know 355 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: that Biden's agenda is horrible as numbers are crumbling. They 356 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: know we have exciting candidates. Uh. They know that the 357 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: Democrats are gonna have very Bernie Sanders type primaries where 358 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: the the Bernie Sanders section of the party is gonna 359 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: um push everybody way far to the to the left, 360 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: is gonna which is gonna help us because the country 361 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: they want what do they want? They want jobs, they 362 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: want a good education system for their kids, they want 363 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: school choice, they want to fund the police. They don't 364 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: want to open border, they don't want to an Afghanistan 365 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: withdrawal is like Biden did it. So it's gonna be 366 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: an exciting twenty two. We're gonna take back a big majority. 367 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: I believe. I know you're not a fan of the 368 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: infrastructure reconciliation plans, but if Democrats find a way to 369 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: pass them, doesn't that help your chances in the mid 370 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: terms based on your view. Absolutely. We just finished a 371 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: We just finished a suburban pole of suburban voters. And 372 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: by the way, the suburban voters are all in uh 373 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: there to help Republicans take back the majority because they're 374 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: tired of the Biden agenda. But we just one of 375 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: the things we asked about was this this so called 376 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: um you know, I don't know what the stimulus bill. 377 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: It's it's like it's they say it's three point five, 378 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: it's really five point five. Here's what people know. It's 379 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: gonna cost a lot of money. Their taxes are going 380 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: up as a result. It's very unpopular. People like things 381 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: if they're free, but when they understand that their taxes 382 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: are gonna go up there wait wait, wait, wait wait, 383 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't want that. Even families who are making less 384 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: than four hundred thousand dollars a year, they they they're 385 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: being told by Democrats that they're going to get these 386 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: benefits without having to see their taxes go up. That's 387 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: a lie. First off, the Democrats already raised the taxes 388 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: on people not making much money on the uber driver's 389 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: door dash people like that. They already did that this year. 390 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: And there are one point nine tree in dollar so 391 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: called COVID bill. It had nothing to do with COVID. 392 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: So they've already raised taxes on the people. They said 393 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: they wouldn't raise taxes. If you look at all the analysis, 394 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna raise taxes on all Americans. I mean, this 395 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 1: your taxes. If they get this pass, your taxes are 396 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: going up. How in the living how would anybody believe 397 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: their taxes are not going up when you look at 398 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: the deficits were running. I mean, I mean, you know 399 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: your taxes. They're gonna try to raise your taxes. They 400 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: want to spend your money to the the Democrats. So that's 401 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: what they wanted, so they're lying to the America and 402 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: people about this complete fabrication. I want to ask you 403 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: about China. Lastly, Senator, I know you're on the Armed 404 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: Services Committee, and we saw a pretty scary headline with 405 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: this hypersonic missile that we didn't know about as it 406 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: was orbiting a path. Well we didn't know about it. Well, 407 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: it bothered a lot of people, including the administration, based 408 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: on what we heard from the from the White House. 409 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, though, what your concern is in how 410 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: we manage this and whether you would move to expeditiously 411 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: approve Nick Burns as our ambassador to Beijing after his 412 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: hearing this week. So, first off, I'm gonna support people 413 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: that believe in what I believe, and we've got to 414 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: stand up to China. First off, every American system has 415 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: to say themselves that and understand if you buy a 416 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: product made in Communist China, you're helping the Communist Party 417 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: of China keep control of that country, all right. They 418 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: put over a million people in prison for their religion. 419 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: They stole all the basic rights from the Hong Kong consistence. 420 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: They steal our jobs, they steal our technology, their threat 421 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: mean Taiwan. So here's what's important to me. Stop buying 422 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: products from communist China. Let's all wake up. They're not 423 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: They're not our friend. They've decided to be an adversary. 424 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: We had hearing it arm at Center Armed Services Community today. 425 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: I brought the fact we've got to help Taiwan. Taiwan 426 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: is a democracy, they're a great ally of ours. We've 427 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: got to do everything we can. So one thing I asked, 428 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: is this administration going to help train them so they 429 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: can they can be ready if commuis China wants to 430 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: invade them? Are we going to make sure we have 431 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: interoperability of our systems? And are we going to give 432 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: some enough missile defense so they can create some sort 433 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: of iron dome process to stop the Chinese, whether it's 434 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: the hypersonic or whatever it is. We've got to help 435 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: Taiwan be able to defend their democracy. What it helped 436 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: to have an envoy then in Beijing. Absolutely, but let's 437 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: make sure it's an envoy that understands that China is 438 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: our adversary. They've decided that it's not our choice. I mean, 439 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: we we Americans, we want to work with people. We 440 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: want to do trade. I mean, you know, look, we're 441 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: very good at that stuff. But somebody Communist China. It's 442 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: communist China. They are not our friend. And so I 443 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: want to have somebody in that role that's gonna stand 444 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: up to the Communist Party of China. Sounds like you 445 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: haven't heard that name yet though at least denomination so far. 446 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: So Nick Burns is not the man for that show. Well, 447 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: we'll see, but but you know, we we've got to 448 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 1: the Buying administration has got to stand up against all 449 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: these atrocities. They gonna stand against communist China, and against Iran, 450 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: and against North Korea and that we can't, and against 451 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: the Cuban regime and the cash regime. We've understand up 452 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: for what we believe in. I want you to have 453 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: basic rights. I want all everybody around the world to 454 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: have basic rights. I mean I wanted for by kids 455 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: and my grandkids. I wanted to everybody will stand up 456 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: for it. Then.
