This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Steve our big story, Georgias
Senate runoff, is less than a
month away and Senator Bernie
Sanders is banking on democratic
victories, so he can push Joe
Biden Way left
since you left the
presidential race. Your goal is
to get Joe Biden elected and
make him the most progressive
president in the history of the
United States.
That job becomes a lot easier, if
you at least dont, have
Republicans controlling the
Senate.
Absolutely
and I you know- and we are all
working as hard as we can to
make sure the two Democrat
candidates win in Georgia.
Steve all right.
Joining us now to react is the
incoming chair of the National
Republican Senatorial Committee,
Rick Scott, who joins us from
Florida
good morning. Senator
Bernie Sanders is right
if they can win in Georgia that
his idea of socialism, the
Democrats idea of pack, the
Supreme Court-
reverse the first and second
amendment right
ruin. Medicare,
have all healthcare insurance
run by the government.
Green new deal, one hundred dollars trillion
socialism,
socialism,
I dont believe thats going to
happen. I dont believe so thats,
where Georgia or the Florida or
the country is. This is what they
want.
They want complete control,
Steve you mentioned Florida,
which is where you are sitting
right now.
Donald Trump won Florida in the
general election. Last month you
wrote an op ed at Foxnews dot com
talkstalks about how his victory.
There has important lessons for
republicans nationwide,
like what
I think its real simple
Democrats want to control your
life.
What they said what Kamala
Harris said she wants everyone
to have the exact same outcome.
That means you have no
opportunity.
This is what Fidel Castro and
Hugo Chavez would say. Oh
everybody should have the same
thing. What that means. Nobody has
any opportunity.
Republicans want to give you a
life
Republican goes out and talk to
everybody. It doesnt matter. The
color of your skin or your
religion
go talk to everybody, more
opportunity: less regulation,
better schools,
supporting law enforcement.
When you have the example, you
have what happened. I won my
three race races, two for
governor and, U Dot S Senate
Donald Trump had a big win a
month and a half ago.
If thats, what Republicans do
we win
Steve one of the things about
Florida? In addition to the
beautiful weather, have you there
no state tax,
one of the most prominent
financial sources companies in
the world? Goldman Sachs, which is
based here in New York City, is
thinking about moving asset
management that division to
Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale or
Texas
Dallas.
Why do you think they are doing
that?
I at a thank you to Cuomo and
DE blasio all the time
for taxes and regulation and
attitude against business has
driven so many companies to
Florida in the last ten years. Why
do people come here, lower taxes
and better weather?
We have the number one higher
education system in the country
and forty nine year low in our crime
rate,
so your choice is to pay high
taxes and get what when you live
in New York, city or New York,
if you could leave you are
leaving
what this pandemic has shown. Is
there is no research? Even if you
are in financial supervisors, you
dont need to be in New York
anymore,
so we have had so many
businesses that have been coming
down here,
so Goldman Sachs getting in
line
better hurry because we are
running out of office space.
Steve big question, though
senator is after the pandemic.
You know I have so many friends
who are teleworking from Florida
right now, because they can do it
from anywhere.
The big question is going to say
to their bosses. You know what
I can do my job from here in
palm Beach or in Naples or where
im not going back to New York,
Boston, Chicago
first of off the bosses want
to come down.
Everybody wants to come down
here
you. Why? Not
you dont pay the taxes
you dont have the commute.
You have the weather,
I mean you have better schools,
you have lower crime,
I mean why would anybody go
back after this pandemic?
They are not going to
Steve. I do a morning show. I
love dinner 400 in the
afternoon.
