Summary

Senator Rick Scott joins John Catsimatidis & James Flippin as they substitute for Sid Rosenberg, to touch upon the government shutdown in Washington, describing it as the 'Schumer shutdown' caused by disagreements over spending. He criticizes Senator Chuck Schumer for being unwilling to continue spending at current levels. Scott discusses the economic challenges, including the national debt and inflation, and comments on the population influx in Florida, attributing it to people fleeing high taxes and difficult business conditions in states like New York.
